Humanity at Crossroads: Where are the Peacemakers?

By: Mahboob Khawaja   July 28, 2026

Tyranny is always blind and transitory. Those leaders claiming to be wise and smart wage wars to impose the fallacy of moral degradation and mechanized intellect to propel egoistic glory in phony opinion polls. They want to "destroy civlizations" and fix time and history with the power of political nuisance unfolding treacherous minds as if the destiny of some ethnically chosen people for greatness.

American leaders funded by the Israeli lobby entrap the thinking and political action process across US governance. PM Netanyahu survives supported by American intransigence for Greater Israel. A favorite perversion of facts from fantasy dictates the Arab Gulf leaders' petrodollar triviality of fake prosperity of degenerationand dismantlement. Disconnected Arab leaders cannot claim security or peace from the US Board of Peac. Deafening silence on peace in Gaza, occupied West Bank daily displacements and planned killings by Israeli forces perpetuate disintegration of Palestine and obliterated experience actualizes the extended world of tragedies and misfortune for global humanity.

Pursuant to their strategic agenda against the Arab states, America and Israel announced integration of military establishments. The same insanity flourishes in war between Russia and Ukraine.This state of affairs reflects complete societal breakdown and march towards self-annihilation. Despite hollow claims, no moral and ethical behavior is seen in the sudden and inexplicable plunge to human wickedness.

Even the warmongers cannot predict what the end game is going to be. Evil happens when conscientious men do nothing. God created the Heavens and Earth as a trust to live and to flourish human generations since time immemorial. It was not meant to be bombed and destroyed by sheer ignorance and wickedness.

The UNO and world Order is broken and left to the interpretation of few so called democratically elected leaders acting as tyrants and oppressors to overwhelm peace, security and the future of mankind. Why the UNO based on its Charter cannot protect the civilian population in Gaza and West Bank from the Israeli forces? They favor the Hobbesian formula: "war of all against all."

People of knowledge know well what is truth and what is falsehood. Our professed ignorance and arrogance towards Divine Knowledge has pushed us to echo evil and futility in a global cataclysm - the treacherous conflict causing degeneration to be at the epicenter of man-made cataclysm driven by lingering suspicion in relations to others within the splendid Universe. The earth and universe are meant for human beings and are enriched to support all of their needs over time and space.

Are we living in a disconnected world of our own making? How strange we are so abhorrent and neglectful of our own present and futuristic sustainability? Truth is One and the same unchanging as it was many centuries earlier. We are a creation of God, One humanity and cannot detach ourselves to what happens to other fellow human beings.

The Earth is Living and We, the Humanity have Passion for Peace, Not Wars

We live on earth that sustains all forms of living things, yet human ignorance and arrogance are at work to destroy the essential foundation of our own lives. The creation of Earth, Moon, the Sun and all working systems are a trust to humanity. Have We, the People, We, the Humanity honored and protected that natural trust and its obligations?

In a recent article ("Conflict Beyond Reason: a dialogue to end the war is desperately needed" https://www.uncommonthought: this author encompassed the truth not for geological or meteorological explanation but for the understanding of fellow human beings that the earth spins at 1670 km per hour and orbit the Sun at 107,000 km per hour. Imagine, if this spinning fails, what consequences could occur to the living beings on Earth.

Think again, about the average distance of earth from moon is 93 million miles -the distance of Moon from Earth is currently 384,821 km equivalent to 0.002572 Astronomical Units (https://www.newscientist.com/question/fastearthspin/#ixzz7C8p37S9X). If this God given system of distance between the Earth-Sun and the Earth-Moon were ever to change, there will be no sign of life, human civilizations or habitats left on Earth.

Do intelligent leaders listen to voices of reason and make a navigational change for peace and harmony when facts of life warrant an urgent change in attitudes, policies and behaviors? The Divine Revelations (the Quran: 40: 21) offer a stern warning to conscientious leaders and nations:

Do they not travel through the earth and see, what was the End of those before them. They were even superior to them in strength. And in the traces they have left on the earth. But God did call them to account for their sins. And none had they to defend them against God. The Wars in Palestine, Ukraine and against Iran Must be Stopped by Reason and Dialogue

To safeguard our common future as One humanity, we the people must reject ignorance, cruelty and wars as means to political power and hegemony. Civilizations do not grow out of the moral mire of conquests, superiority of racial ethnicity, tyranny and imperialism. Are there any Thinking people to take heed from the prevalent facts of human history? President Trump appears to echo the extremist policies and practices pursued by PM Netanyahu as if the rest of the conscientious global community does not exist.

The former European imperialists sucked out the oil resources from the Arab world and now intend on dismantling the Arab-Muslim world- narrates Dr. Jan Oberg, a peace researcher from Sweden, and former British Diplomat Ian Proud: "The "West" Is Imploding Faster after This"TRANSCEND Media Service: 4/8/25: https://www.transcend.org/tms/2025/04/the-west-is-imploding-faster-after-this/ The signs are not just on the wall but written in the skies and the oceans too. The entire "western" narrative, its repressive dominance, and its hubris are about to collapse and take many of its established institutions down with it. And the kakistrocratic (aka imbecile) leadership doesn't even realise it. If they did, they wouldn't be driving Europe into that giant iceberg.

Watching dreadful apparatus of fire and brimstone, We, the People are horrified by the crimes against humanity and genocide happening across the globe, be it across Gaza-Palestine, between Russia-Ukraine and Iran and the US war.

Time and history will not wait as we the humankind stand at a critical juncture of our own complacency to have allowed ignorance, hatred, fear and animosity to destroy our life, culture and existence. Can we think to be human in all of our moral, political and intellectual endeavors?
