If you are not satisfied with the report issued by the US official committee on the 9/11 terror, you should check this nonfiction book, though written in Japanese in late 2004, with details on relationships between Mr. Osama bin Laden and Mr. Muhammad Umar and also AlQaeda and Taliban that led to the 9/11 terror which has changed so many lives of American citizens, in some cases, forever.
Mr. Muhammad Umar is believed to have had no idea about where the U.S. is on a world map before he became the supreme leader of Afghanistan in 1996. He was nothing but a local unrenowned religious leader who had not reportedly even completed standard Islamic education courses but was teaching poor people in a small community in the war-torn country when he started his military campaign with a score of fellow Muslims only with rifles as their sole weapons in 1994 or so. But, Allah wished a miracle and he won.
Mr. Muhammad Umar was a true hero who had driven out bandits, thugs, gangsters, and every blackguard who had been doing every criminal or vicious act in every village, town, and the capital of Afghanistan after the withdrawal of USSR troops that had intervened in the civil war in Afghanistan until 1989.
Even after Mr. Muhammad Umar seized the power of Afghanistan, he was clad in rags and living in an ordinary humble house without any decorations and rich furniture.
Mr. Muhammad Umar had said he would help experts and intellectuals create a new government in Kabul and then return to his own village after restoring order in the country, but he did not; He kept the highest position in the government though living in Kandahar, a center of his tribe.
According to the report by Mr. Toru Takagi of NHK, the Japan's largest news organization:
- Mr. Muhammad Umar is not the one who had invited Mr. Osama bin Laden to Afghanistan. Mr. Osama bin Laden and the one who had invited him went out to Kandahar and pleaded respectfully to Mr. Muhammad Umar so that Mr. Osama bin Laden could stay in Afghanistan as a kind of national guest.
- Mr. Osama bin Laden had played an active role mostly in Pakistan during the holy war against the Soviet Union troops in 1980's, and thus there had been no relationship before the above meeting between Mr. Osama bin Laden and Mr. Muhammad Umar, also a fighter against the USSR troops.
- It is those Muslims who later became the enemy of Mr. Muhammad Umar that had tied up with Mr. Osama bin Laden in the war against the UUSR troops.
- Mr. Muhammad Umar and his fellows did not respect the career of Mr. Osama bin Laden in the war against the USSR troops.
- Mr. Muhammad Umar and his fellows got angry when Mr. Osama bin Laden, without approval of Taliban, accepted an interview of the West media in 1998 and expressed his own view against America.
- Mr. Osama bin Laden spent much money to win Mr. Muhammad Umar's favor and flung many Arab fighters to battle lines against the Northern Alliance to be trusted by Taliban. Especially four-wheel-drive trucks of Toyota and Nissan Mr. Osama bin Laden presented to Taliban became effective war machine that helped Taliban's operation revolutionarily.
- A few years after the start of relationships with Mr. Osama bin Laden, Mr. Muhammad Umar looked like a rich man, owning luxuries imported from the West and living in a newly built big house in Kandahar in which bundles of bills were kept.
- Mr. Osama bin Laden seems to have succeeded in making Taliban and Mr. Muhammad Umar believe that the U.S. and Israel are true enemies of Islam and Muslims. In a sense, Mr. Muhammad Umar was educated (or brainwashed) by Mr. Osama bin Laden, who always behaved humbly before the supreme leader of Afghanistan, to have an anti-West view.
- The great statutes of Buddha in Bamiyan, built in the fourth and fifth centuries, had been left without decisive demolition by Muslims in Afghanistan for 1000 years; thus contemporary Muslims who are requested to respect their Muslim ancestors should leave the statues as they are. Therefore the fact that Mr. Muhammad Umar approved the demolition meant that some drastic change occurred inside his mind.
* * *
Just before actual work of the demolition started or after a failure in blasting by Taliban members, Mr. Osama bin Laden and his professional demolition men visited the site and gave detailed order; then the statutes were successfully blown off.
It became a big advertisement for Mr. Osama bin Laden and AlQaeda.
After the demolition made headlines around the world, 50 times or more the number of young Muslims all over the world came to join AlQaeda in Afghanistan than before the terrible act that was finally conducted against the will and wish of the rest of the world including Japan.
* * *
The author Mr. Toru Takagi wrote that it is the summer in 2000 that Mr. Muhammad Umar had changed completely.
Mr. Muhammad Umar was no more a naive hero from a poor village without any modern education, who had become the top of a nation only with his courage, the faith in Allah, the love for justice, and an AK-47 assault rifle.
He was now sharing a view with Mr. Osama bin Laden as demonstrated by the demolition of the statutes of Buddha at Bamiyan, though Mr. Osama bin Laden did not beforehand inform Mr. Muhammad Umar of the plan of the 9/11 terror.
* * *
Therefore, now you know that the key person in the success in the 9/11 terror was Mr. Muhammad Umar.
If he had not trusted in Mr. Osama bin Laden, a son of a rich Saudi Arabian family, who behaved so humbly while hiding a true intention before Mr. Muhammad Umar, the 9/11 terror should not surely have happened.
But, who knew all these proceedings in those days? Only Allah?
And why did the God Almighty allow for the proceedings all through September 11, 2001 to the present-day battles in Iraq and Afghanistan?
One thing I can say is that many Americans do not seem to be trying hard to think about the mind and heart of their God and Jesus Christ who did not especially intervene so as to stop the above proceedings.
(How Israelites after WWII thought about the mind and heart of their God who did not especially intervene so as to stop the horrible proceedings driven by Nazis should be also discussed later.)
* * *
If you want to find a right solution to the War on Terror, the War on Iraq, and the War on Afghanistan, you had better start with thinking about Mr. Muhammad Umar who could have stopped the 9/11 terror by driving AlQaeda out of Afghanistan but would not, while becoming very rich like some rich Americans he learnt to hate through Mr. Osama bin Laden's influence.
(Then where did Mr. Osama bin Laden's hatred toward Americans come from? Has he ever been insulted by Americans very unfairly and personally? Anyway, it must not be of abstract property, in my opinion.)
* * *
I have been trying hard to think about the mind and heart of God and Jesus Christ who did not especially intervene to stop the above proceedings.
That is why I advise you to make an effort to be poor, since only poverty gives a key to understanding the mind and heart of God and Jesus Christ.
