Foreword
The term islamic bomb having assumed a general and universal notoriety throughout the world and having appeared both in the world press and publications, now appears, at least in outward appearance, to be losing its luster. But the atomic bomb having been the basic topic, it could not be safely assumed that the affair has been finished. No, but the affair will only see its end with the end of the process of the baconian science - guided progress, (the basic cause of the appearance of the atomic bomb), without any doubt or ambiguity, in the flames of the atomic hell, that is the atomic bombs and the atomic radiations. The atomic bomb is only the one thing. Tagging it with various denominations makes not a whit of difference to its basic function. It is a hell, and calling it by different names is only a calling. It is wrong, to call it as christian, islamic, hindu or buddhist bomb. Let it rather be called as baconian bomb, the common bomb. To associate its name with any religion is a blasphemy against that religion, and therefore accountable inspite of the rational, irreligious and scientific outlook of the people of this present age. The atomic bomb is a phenomenon quite peculiarly different from the rest of the phenomena. The christian bomb will not hesitate to kill the christians nor will the communist bomb ever spare the communist. The islamic, the hindu, or the buddhist bomb could not be regarded as an exception to this rule. The atomic bomb with its sophisticated name, that is the nuclear bomb may be regarded as the common grave-digger of this mankind, and will not make any distinction in erecting tombstones on the grave of different peoples.
Books on the topic of islamic bomb have appeared in the world press. These books as well might have been expected, are based on a particular design, and having a politico-journalistic, quasi-technical and strategic approach interwoven with nuclear statutory fabric having a tinge of plaintive hue interlined with reproaches. The overall spectacle of these books is that of a woman accusing, altercating, bickering, hurling defiance at the adversary and expressing regret at the wrong and the folly of the other. Two books of this kind have appeared in english language, and both could be expected to deal with the same questions in the same field, and having similar approach. Even if two hundred had been produced, they would have the same pattern. Such books even if written with admirable ability, in great detail and with exquisite beauty, could excite neither
Appreciation in me, nor could be of much benefit from my point of view, for they do not touch the real base of the problem, and merely play about in the outer crest of the malady, while my treatment of the topic in my “islamic bomb” is basic, philosophic and is concerned with the fundamental points of nuclear science. Let it be remembered, that unless the basic root of this nuclear problem is held, and eradicated, no superfluous or partial treatment will be of any avail, till ultimately the last stage of the process has arrived in the flames of the nuclear hell, to eradicate this mankind, and indeed all life on earth in actual misery, affliction and disgrace.
Of these books one is named as ‘pakistan’s islamic bomb’ and is written by maj. General d. K. Palit and p. K. Namboodiri jointly, both of india. It appears strange to observe that these authors regard the nuclear threat as a universal threat to all life on earth, and they negate the efficacy of the nuclear proliferation treaty, and yet instead of tackling the problem with a view to ridding the world of this plague, they dwell at length and exclusively on the nuclear war strategies, preparations, precautions, tactics of assault and defence besides trying to shift the blame on the other party. How deeply this world appears to have been hypnotized by the nuclear doom, may be judged from these books, whose authors, whether they themselves know it or not, may be seen as men playing with the brands snatched from the fire which is consuming their own house. These authors appear in their seemingly capable discussions of their topic, as completely ignorant of and indifferent to the real nature of nuclear phenomenon and its consequent hazards. How dearly it is wished that they had known, that no other alternative was left for this mankind but either to vanish under the hails of atomic bombs suddenly, deservedly, or to perish, slowly, lingeringly and deservedly under the stings of deadly radiations in misery and affliction after a spell of existence on earth as cancer-ridden chimeras.
These are not just an alarmist’s views. It is not even an exaggeration of the facts nor it is in anyway indulgence in hyperbolism. This mankind that today raves in mad frenzy after the reactors and the bombs will see this process to its finish. This science - guided, continuous, systematic, ever - increasing and infinite process of wealth - accumulation will explode in nuclear flames and will consume this mankind. And certainly no heavens will ever cry, for it is not the heavens that did wrong to this mankind, but surely it is this mankind itself that has wronged itself . It appears to be in no
Way amiss to say that merely pruning the branches would no do, but rather the basic causes ought to be removed in order to remove the effects. And what, by the way, happen to be the causes of the nuclear malady? They are the habits of slander, and engrossment in the pursuit of wealth, and the beliefs that, wealth would render them immortal. Unless indeed these causes are removed, there is no power beneath the heaven and over this earth to save this world from the nuclear doom.
The book ‘pakistan’s islamic bomb’ revolves about the pakistani nuclear bomb, and the effects of its birth on indian nuclear programme. The two countries being neighbours with constantly estranged mutual relations. The line of argument assumed by these authors to prove the necessity and the subsequent birth of the pakistani nuclear bomb is this: that because israel has the nuclear bomb and arabs have not, the arabs will want to have one. Further because the arabs have the necessary money but pakistanis have not, and because the pakistani have the necessary talent for building a nuclear bomb which the arabs have not, the arabs will want pakistan to build a nuclear bomb for the arabs. And because the pakistanis and not the arabs will build the nuclear bomb, it is natural that it is the pakistanis that’ll be in command of the bomb built by them for the arabs. But what is really worrying these authors is the point that pakistanis will retain some nuclear bombs for india, being their close adversary. India will thus be obliged to counteract for safety and integrity and will be dragged reluctantly into the nuclear war preparations.
Suggesting the necessities of options to india against the prospective birth of the ‘paksitanic bomb’ the authors of ‘pakistan’s bomb’ write:-
“clearly it was to pakistan’s advantage to obtain approval? And the funds?for an “islamic bomb" by projecting the arab-israel conflict and the advantages to be gained by injecting an arab nuclear argument into that confrontation. It is also clear that once pakistan has acquired a minimum nuclear armoury, it will switch the focus of its strategic thrust from the israel to the indian conflict, whatever the arabs might say. And when that happens, an agreement on the nuclear free zone or a joint declaration would be of no help to indian security. India will therefore have to rely on more credible options”.
(pakistan’s islamic bomb page 137)
They suggest options to india as follows:-
(1) going nuclear explicitly, following pakistani test, and to make representations for it ahead of the event.
(2) expanding its conventional forces, both offensive and defensive, to deter pakistan’s nuclear threat with a conventional threat of deep thrusts and long scale occupation of territory.
(3) using a strategy of uncertainty based on a declared policy of no-weapons but to continue further nuclear tests (including thermo-nuclear ones) and to accelerate missile developments; and
(4) using a strategy of uncertainty based on a declared policy of no-weapons but at the same time preparing a sufficient number of nuclear weapons with the last wires unconnected”.
(pakistan’s islamic bomb page 146)
The authors further explain the implications of these four options. They write:-
“all the four strategies have their casts in political and economic terms. The first strategy would mean india giving up its “ideological” struggle for nuclear disarmament, perhaps by adopting the strategy, india would be able to ensure its own security and even gain a political stature in a world dominated by the nuclear cult, but it would mean a major set-back for the humanitarian aim of striving for a denuclearized world. The second strategy would be valid only for a limited period of time, that is, till pakistan builds up a reasonable stock-pile. It would also be a very costly alternative. The third strategy would call for a reversal of the prime minister's personal commitment (which is not the government’s policy) not to have any more test explosions. The fourth strategy is perhaps the cheapest and the best, and an adversary would expect this of india. The most dangerous scenario for india will be a policy of drift, that is, to adopt an apparently moralistic stand without debate or deep consideration. This would have us to be caught in a state of physical and emotional unpreparedness, which could only lead to a trauma far worse than that we experienced in 1962”-.
(the pakistan’s islamic bomb page 146-7)
Now the thoughts like ensuring the national security through nuclear preparations, or over-running and occupying the hostile nuclear territories by means of overwhelmingly superior conventional forces, or
Keeping nuclear weapons with least wires unconnected could hardly match the sentiments like the denuclearization of the world. Such thoughts could be likened to the mutual massacre of the inmates of a ship on fire. Inmates cutting each other’s throats and crying peace. What it is wondered would have been the views of the late mahatma gandhi, the reputed saint of ahansa on the point. The poor mahatma might perhaps have writhed in anguish and washed his hands off the doomed humanity in dismay. The cause of general blindness of mankind could have most easily been imputed to mankind’s general ignorance of the subject of atomic energy and its dreadful, but unavoidable hazards, had not the most learned in this subject been found the blindest of all in their enthusiasms for the atomic energy and atomic weapons. The ignorance therefore could be reckoned as one of the causes at most. The actual causes perhaps lay somewhere else, unknown to this mankind.
The inefficacy of the non-proliferation-treaty and the subsequent spread of nuclear weapons was a factor quite sufficient to expose the reality to any one, but the authors of pakistan’s islamic bomb do not appear to find the cue inspite of the fact that they knew the inefficacy of the n. P. T. They write:-
“ours is an attempt to present to the people of india the real significance of the terms of the so called, n. P. T. , how they serve not only to legitimate proliferation among the five nuclear powers (vertical proliferation) but also to provide loopholes for selective clandestine proliferation to countries like israel and south africa, while withholding the benefits of the nuclear industry from the nuclear unarmed nations”.
(pakistan’s islamic bomb introd. P vii)
Nuclear powers are the criminals of the first order for having built the things like the atomic weapons, but to what use the israel and the south africa have put their nuclear technology other than building the atomic weapons? The fact that the nuclear powers themselves should restrain others only from having the nuclear power is a fact in itself which goes a long way to expose the moral situation of an age in which we now live, and to expose the reality of the nuclear probabilities in the course of time. The authors of pakistan’s islamic bomb themselves reveal the morality of the cultists of nuclear weapons. They write:-
“this book is an attempt to clear the minds of deliberate misinformation and misconceptions built up over the last thirty-four years by the cultists of nuclear weapons. It is a rebuttal of the conventional wisdom on nuclear proliferation and the folk-lore developed by the bards of nuclear weapon nations and their allies in various peace movements and arms control lobbies. Our purpose here is to expose the myth-makers and to demolish the myth”.
(pakistan’s islamic bomb introd. Page vi)
But alas! The pledged iconoclast himself inwardly appears to be a devoted worshiper of the idol which he declares to break to pieces. And the nuclear myth-breaker is seen to have been entangled in the myth himself.
Complaining of the inefficacy of the nonproliferation treaty, these authors say:-
“the general impression is that the non-proliferation movement, ending with the non-proliferation treaty which signed by 103 nations, aimed specifically at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. It is learned that proliferation in fact is taking place freely in the world. As one of the first countries to voice concern on this issue and to sponsor proposals for a non-proliferation treaty, india has been in the fore-front of the movement to control the spread of, and finally abolish, unclear weapons. And yet the concern that we expressed in general terms at the u. N. Has now arrived at our own door-steps”.
(pakistan’s islamic bomb page 64)
It is not sufficient to express concern and make proposals in the case of nuclear problem. Here the temptations have to be withstood, storms braved and sacrifices made. The nuclear concern will not remain only at the door-step of nations, but it will actually enter the house and ransack it completely. It is a universal intruder well invited.
The necessity of the hour for the people of india according to the authors of ‘pakistan’s islamic bomb’ was to turn hawks. They who stood behind moral legal values and did on this basis opposed atomic bomb were doves. The authors say:-
“nuclear problems have been debated in india for a number of years now? Then there were the “doves” of this country, a mix of intellectuals, businessmen and a number of faceless people in the government. Their
Line was to hide behind ad hoc moral legal values that seldom bore relevance to the point at issue but seemed to gain support from various ill-informed success for their anti-bomb stand”.
(pakistan’s islamic bomb page 91-2)
It may be remarked that no differentiation could be made between doves and hawks in the event of atomic bomb explosion. It is said, that not the presence of mind, but the absence of mind it is, that is indeed at the moment of the explosion of the atomic bomb. Those devoid of moral legal values will not fare better than the votaries of moral legal values when the moment arrived. How these authors will fare, is not known.
The authors of "pakistan’s islamic bomb" basing their faith on the efficacy of nuclear deterrence describe the nature of the nuclear dialogue that emanates from the mutual deterrence of two nuclear powers. They say:-
“the (nuclear) dialogue is such that it at once divides and unites the two nuclear antagonists because of the realization that a nuclear war between them would be so devastating as to make survival of either nation as a viable society a doubtful issue”.
( pakistan’s islamic bomb page 113)
No doubt the theory of mutual deterrence is a time-honored theory. It has no particular or exclusive origin in the nuclear affair but it could well be applied to stick, knife or pistol. But the point which deserves note is that why there is apprehension of the danger of nuclear war between the nuclear powers, after they are all equally possessed of nuclear deterrence? It is the factor of nuclear arms race that supersedes the factor of nuclear deterrence. To stop the arms race between the powers is something which appears as well nigh an improbability. If then this mankind cherishes a desire to avoid the final nuclear holocaust which indeed is something terrible beyond imagination, it has to look somewhere else in order to find the method of eliminating the dreadful danger. People will have to learn to look at the affair from a different angle altogether. It is not possible to extract the fangs of this nuclear serpent. There is no way there but to kill it, for no antidote exists for the nuclear venom. But how to kill this nuclear adder? It has conditions. The destruction of the cause of its appearance only could ensure its death. To expect peace or survival in the presence of atomic bomb is a hope only of the damned and the doomed.
The difficulty with those that deal with the nuclear problem is that they see the thing in its present perspective when only a few powers in the world have the atomic weapons, and only few reactors are there in the world. They fail to peep into the future, in the age of full-fledged atomic energy, when most countries will have atomic weapons, and when a far greater number of reactors will be functioning throughout the world. And although they try to estimate the number of reactors in future, they fail to picture a world in which everything from a powerhouse to a private car will have its own independent reactor, and this earth will appear enwrapped in a maze of shooting stars that is the radiations of exploding reactors?. If they would work up their imagination, so far, they would cease to talk of deterrence and dialogues and monopolies, and would but weep and gnash their teeth in agony, if they could.
Inspite of their firm faith in nuclear deterrence, the authors of ‘pakistan’s islamic bomb’ discuss the necessity of the success of the first nuclear battle. They say:-
“but in the case of nuclear battle if we depend upon experience to evolve a new doctrine, we might find that at the first battle it is already too late. It is the first battle that will have to be successfully fought according to an effective (even if theoretical) doctrine”.
(pakistan’s islamic bomb page 120)
If this be the case, then surely both the nuclear antagonist powers will sleep on live embers for fear of nuclear attack. And in order to gain precedence and exploit the chance both will try to neglect the principal of declaring war on the enemy. That will indeed be living a life not worth living and a world not worth living in.
The authors of the "pakistan’s islamic bomb" say:-
“ours is not a scholarly work, but a presentation of the realities underlying one of the most crucial issue governing the survival of mankind”.
(pakistan’s islamic bomb page vii. Introd. )
Evidently these authors know that the nuclear issue is one of the most crucial issues and they know that it governs the survival of mankind. But unfortunately the reality is that the nuclear issue does not govern the survival of mankind. And this is the angle of observation which makes all the difference. What these authors, and almost the entire community of authors in these days believe is that the atomic war could be stopped. And
If it starts, it could be survived. And also that the atomic war could be controlled and confined to certain regions. But the actual object in their eyes is the use of atomic-energy-for-peace. They are the victims of illusions and optimisms.
The influence of retribution has blinded this mankind and it is due to this blindness that they fail to see the glaring realities so dreadfully grim, so terribly grievous as the effects of atomic bomb and the atomic radiations, and the impossibility of protection against them. They are the victims of a conceit peculiar only to those doomed. They see the dwarfish unarmed man against the fiery giant atom bomb in the arena, and hope the man to win. Their discussions of the nuclear strategies are the discussions of a plan of universal nuclear suicide and nothing else. Is any defence possible against the nuclear bomb? Is it possible to furnish all the individuals residing in the neighbouring districts of reactors with any means whatsoever of protection against the radiations of the leaking and the exploding reactors that would flood the neighbouring districts with deadly radiations?. Is there any sure cure for radiation sickness, or is there any in sight? Could the mutated genes, mutated by radiations, be detected or destroyed? Or could anything be done after the mutated genes have manifested their existence in the form of abnormal chimera? Or is the permissible dose of radiation certainly correct? Nay but verily this mankind is determined to throw itself into the flames of a blazing atomic hell, the nuclear jehannah, well merited, well planned.
The emergence of the term islamic bomb has caused an alarm in the world at large. What will they do when there will in this world be naga bombs, mezu bombs, hara bombs, kari bombs? When every terrorist gang will have its own stockpile of portable atomic devices? And when every nomad will have its nuclear armourry in his tent. But that will not be a life of human beings, but a life of jinns, indeed miserable ones.
And certainly these majestic monuments of science, that appear so strong, so durable, could vanish in a matter of moments in the event of atomic war as if by magic wand. Or they may be left as the memorials of an extinct species as a result of the devastation caused by the radiations of the atomic-energy-for-peace. Facts indeed bitter, yet facts verifiable scientifically.

Bharat and american bomb
About seven years after the publication of ‘pakistan’s islamic bomb’ by maj. Gen. D. K. Palit and p. K. S. Namboodiri, both of india, an article “bharat and american bomb", appeared in indian express delhi in 1987, that deserves to be considered just after the discussion of “pakistan’s islamic bomb”, because we can thus see the difference in thought that has occurred, and the deterioration in the state of nuclear mania that has appeared within these six or seven years. The authors of “pakistan’s islamic bomb” have regarded the nuclear threat as a universal threat to all life on earth, and have negated the efficiency of the nuclear non - proliferation treaty, and although they have discussed at length the nuclear war strategies, preparations, precautions, tactics of nuclear assault and defence, yet it clearly appears that a sense of regret and the factor of exigency and helplessness constantly pervades their mind. Whereas the author of the article in question (dr. Ashoke kapur, an indian by birth and a professor of political science in the waterloo university of canada), wants india to go head-long into the nuclear armament, without so much as a mention of the nuclear hazards, not only in reference to indo-pakistan nuclear conflict but in the international perspective without any fear of atomic war, because the atomic weapons are made not to use them but rather are a show of power and a means of political influence. The professor of waterloo university appears to win the indo-pak-nuclear-waterloo as well as the waterloo of international politics with one dire yell, forgetting that he did not stand in the field of ancient mahabharat exhorting the chariot-ridden warriors to victory, but rather twisted the tails of fiery nuclear war demons of twentieth century. Such a mackmohan of mahabharat could neither be regarded as a friend of india, nor a votary of world peace. Applause he might have from the hawks of india, but there are millions in india, like general duhra and others who hate atomic bombs, but will they be heard. They may be roasted, alive in the atomic
Fire, along with the hawks innocently. Russell and einstein made appeals to mankind to forget their quarrels in order to avoid the third world war that is atomic war. But, did anyone hearken to their appeals. Did the people forget their quarrels. No appeals are of any avail, until the root of the atomic trouble, that is greed is cut. Atomic bomb is only the fruit. Pick up the fruits and others will grow in time. And now let us read the startling article of dr. Ashoke kapur. He says:-
“dr. Abdul qadeer’s bomb is not the pakistani bomb. It is islamic bomb neither. The fact is that reagan administration is patronizing the project of pakistani bomb, in order to keep both countries, india and pakistan, on the same diplomatic and military level. In the light of the interviews of nuclear experts and politicians which i have taken in washington, london, ottawa, and delhi, i can say, that the pakistani bomb is a veritable reality. But there are other factors besides as follows:-
(1) whether within the indo-pak sub-continent or whether in the world at large, the political influence of india depends on its power, including the power of nuclear weapons. If pakistan owned the nuclear bomb, which india did not, then the neighboring countries will go on the side of pakistan and will ignore india.
(2) in order to maintain the balance of power between india and pakistan, and between india and china, it is essential for india to go nuclear; otherwise, the process of modernizing the indian military power will prove vain less.
(3) americans disregard india only because america thinks india is a weak country. The same is the reason of america’s not selling the super-computers to india, and curtailing its aid to india. If india will go nuclear and have its stock-piles of nuclear armament, then america will try to regain the lost india. Further the decision to go nuclear will be helpful in the improvement of high technology industries of india.
(4) the lesson which we learn from history after the event of hiroshima is that the atomic weapons are built not for using them, but rather are a show of power and a means of political influence. Let india therefore prepare atomic weapons”.
These are the thoughts of a professor, who is presently engaged in writing his book, ‘pakistan’s atomic power”, it is not difficult to
Guess what will be the gist of thought in his book. I am opposed to darwinian surmise regarding human origin. His ugly surmise, however, if seen in the perspective of the nuclear age, would appear not much amiss.
Let us now cast a glance upon the contents of the article. Nothing could be farther from truth than the allegation that america patronized the pakistan’s bomb. India may or may not gain the political influence by dint of atomic stockpiles, but the nuclear india will surely subject itself to ruinous atomic hazards and will have its share in throwing the world peace in jeopardy. Indian atomic bomb would destroy the non-nuclear pakistan, but the atomic radiations could destroy a part of indian population and could make life miserable in the remaining part. While in the case of nuclear pakistan, both india and pakistan would be changed into rubble. And if china too joined the holocaust then the entire world would feel the effects of radiations. Even the world war may start.
Dr. Ashoke kapur laments that america does not sell super computers to india and curtails the aid to india because america knows india has no atomic power. But forgets that america does not sell technology to russia, although russia has an equal number of atomic weapons, and american law forbids any aid to a country which is engaged in making atomic bomb. And lastly about the marvellous lesson which dr. Kapur has learned from history after the event of hiroshima, namely, that the atomic weapons are made not to use, but to keep as a show of power and a means of political influence. So conspicuous is this rule that no comments seem necessary. Dr. Kapur, might not wake up to see the world destroyed by the atomic bombs. Yet let the believers in the philosophy of nuclear deterrence know, that dr. Kapur’s judgment is only another facet of the belief in deterrence, only a little bolder, though as false as could be.
If it is due to ignorance that dr. Kapur ignores the side of nuclear hazards, then he ought to assume reticence, and if it is the result of blinding zeal then it is the zeal-ill-applied, very. Such a man could not be regarded as a friend of india. And if he is afraid, he is a very unwise friend. He exhorts his countrymen to jump into the atomic hell. Let the people of india and pakistan know that the super-powers have enough nuclear fuel to set all this world on fire. A few nuclear war-heads of india and pakistan would not mean much in the universal perspective. Yet from the economic point of view the affair may prove disastrous, and from the
Political point of view it surely is the harbinger of nuclear misery and atomic destruction.
Not all the people of india will be of the same opinion about nuclear armament as dr. Ashoke kapur. There are millions opposed to it. General duhra is an appreciably conspicuous example. Yet they are called as doves. Their misfortune is that the hawks will have the sway, and ultimately when the brave hawks will be roasted alive in the nuclear fire, the poor, soft-hearted doves will experience the same fate. Let it be remembered that unclear fight between the nuclear india and nuclear pakistan meant the total destruction of both.
Dr. Kapur has learned a lesson from history after the event of hiroshima, namely, that the atomic weapons are made not to be used, but are kept only as a show of power and a means of political influence. This indeed is a great lesson. Marvellous and great. I too have learned a lesson after the event of hiroshima. Namely, that this science-guided, continuous, ever-increasing and infinite process of wealth-accumulation through man’s dominion over the forces of nature, in short the modern progress, the fruit of francis bacon’s modern philosophy of atomism is a scientific and philosophic process beginning with atom and moving on the path of atomism to terminate in atomic bomb that is the nuclear hell. In other words, this humanity is being dragged onto the final destination that is the atomic hell. No power on earth can save this mankind, until and unless the basic cause of the trouble, namely, greed is removed. Do i need to tell the hindus, that the philosophy of their religion is the philosophy of maya, which is basically against the worldly greed. Or do i need to tell the buddhists that the philosophy of their religion, the philosophy of narvan is an antithesis of worldly greed. Or do i need to tell the muslims, the followers of the quran, that islam like every other true revealed religion is basically opposed to the love of this world, and has the entire emphasis laid on the other world. No doubt it negates the life of hermitism. But it also does not allow a headlong fall into the wordly life. From this point of view the muslims of this present age are the victim of great misunderstandings, regarding the quran’s view about this present science-guided, exclusively worldly culture. Yet this is not the place to go into any detail. The atomic fire that is the atomic bomb and the atomic radiations will show them their mistake. Or, is it necessary to remind the christian,
That the present culture of atomism, the culture of worldly wealth and greed is not at all christian. It is manifestly anti-christian. And its sure end is a very pgainful and very disgraceful fall in the flames of atomic hell, both in this transient and the next eternal world, unless otherworldly greed is eliminated. Though the quality of worldly greed is inescapable from this mmodern science- guided culture. No doubt the very basis of this culture is the worldly greed. It is a culture which is anti-christian, anti-islamic, anti-hinduism, and anti-buddhism, indeed anti-religion. And now back to our topic, our view of the book called ‘the islamic bomb’ and written by our western friends steve weissman and herbert krosney, who appear to deny islamic world the privilege of making the atomic bomb considering it a threat to world peace, while considering at the same time the atomic monopoly as the prerogative of the western people. The authors show great anxiety about the single islamic bomb which is not even as yet made. Which is as yet no more than a doubtful shadow. But they close their eyes completely from the numerous stock-piles of the atomic powers. But for these stock-piles, the attitude of these authors in denying the islamic world a right to a make or own atomic bomb, would have been considered very friendly and deserving gratitude. They would have been regarded as kindly warners against the presence of grisly blight like the dynamite in one’s house. Do these authors think that by such tactics they shall succeed in keeping people away from the nuclear project? No. They in this way rather enkindle the fire in the hearts of the deprived people, who thus realize that they only are denied the privilege. It is just like awakening the sleeping lions. Indeed the treaty of non-proliferation which denies a right to a certain people and at the same time allows the same right to others has no basis. Its failure is inevitable. Those denied will prepare the atomic bomb as soon as they are capable of doing so, by hook or by crook, in the heat of anxiety about the solemnity, integrity and safety of their countries. The solution is not in the non-proliferation treaties. It is rather in complete and indiscriminate abolition of atomic weapons throughout the world on pain of death. I am totally against the presence of atomic bombs in the islamic world, but how i can stop them while others have.

Chapter-2
The islamic bomb
The book "pakistan's islamic bomb” by indian authors we have already discussed. We will now discuss the book ‘the islamic bomb’ written by steve weissman and herbert krosney, two western authors. It is a nucleo-political study of the middle east region. The authors write, “it is due to our anxiety for the sensitive middle east; anxiety amanating from the growing interest of the countries of that region in the preparation of nuclear arms, which means a threat to the world peace, that we have written this book. Four countries, namely, pakistan, iraq, israel and india have in the main been subjected to the study in the book. Pakistan and iraq, according to the authors, are countries of unstable societies. While israel and india are democratic countries internally stable. The leaders of all these countries, have their reasons and compulsions. They therefore, are prone to exercise less caution than the leaders of the developed nuclear states. If pakistan and iraq go nuclear and have their own atomic bombs, then israel and india would be obliged to go nuclear publicly and form their nuclear strategies accordingly. That will add fuel to the existing fire. The authors have expressed their alarm at the indiscriminate spread of arms in the unruly and turbulent region of middle-east by a handful of stable and industrialized countries. The authors fear, proliferation is increasing in alarming proportions.
The authors narrate the nuclear history of pakistan. Bhutto’s meeting in multan in january 1972, the day, the authors say, “the pakistani bomb was born”. Bhutto’s tour of islamic countries in quest of money for the nuclear bomb. Colonel qadaafi’s agreement with bhutto and willingness to provide the finance for the pakistani nuclear project. Bhutto’s negotiations with france for obtaining reprocessing plant. Pakistan’s clandestine purchase of the parts of uranium enrichment plant, in the western countries and finally the installation of the kahuta uranium enrichment plant by dr. Abdul qadeer in 1975. Iraqi reactor in oserak is
Followed by the authors from its beginning to its final destruction by the bombardment of israeli planes in june 1981. The act of israeli planes is applauded by the authors, as ‘the resounding direct approach to the solution”. About indian nuclear project a lot is told and the capabilities of india in the nuclear field attested by the authors. Indian test explosion in may 1974 is criticized as an event which started most undesirable arms race in the region. Israel’s nuclear struggle is told. It is asserted that israel possessed 10 to 20 atomic weapons, though israel denies it. The authors have quoted the times magazine’s issue of 12th april 1976, according to which during that war of 1973, at a time when israeli forces suffered a severe set-back , the israeli prime minister gave orders to keep the atomic bombs ready. Thirteen 20 kiloton bombs were assembled and taken to phantom jets. But before the bombs were used, the tide turned in favour of israel and the bombs were taken to desert arsenals still ready for use. Although israel denied this report, yet according to the authors, facts proved the event substantially.
The essence of the argument in the book may be summarized as follows:-
That because pakistan has the intention of making the atomic bomb, and because it has achieved the required capability, therefore it will succeed in its enterprise. And because it is feared that the pakistani bomb might reach into the hands of the arabs, and because the arabs and israel stand at loggerheads with each other, the nuclear scuffle might start in the unruly and turbulent region of middle east; and might flourish into world atomic war. The authors therefore deem it necessary that pakistan should be stopped from making the atomic bomb in the interest of world’s peace.
The argument of the authors is serene and the sentiment is commendable as far as the thought of world peace is concerned. But let us have a look on the general situation of some countries of the world. The entire world seems to be in confrontation. Pakistan stands in confrontation with india on the eastern border. Russian forces are engaged in fighting in afghanistan on the western border of pakistan. India stands in confrontation with pakistan on the west and with china on the north. China stands in confrontation with india on the south and with russia on the west. Arabs stand in confrontation with israel. Israel stands in confrontation with arabs. Iran is engaged in fighting with iraq. Iraq is
Engaged in fighting with iran. Usa stands in confrontation with ussr and ussr stands in confrontation with usa. But let us hear their views on the nuclear weapons.
Speaks pakistan:-
Pakistan : i have no intention whatsoever to build atomic bombs. My nuclear program is purely for peaceful purposes.
Speaks india:-
India : my nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes. However if pakistan will make the nuclear bomb, i will follow suit.
Speaks israel :-
Israel : i have no nuclear weapons. Nor do i intend to have any.
Speak russia :-
Russia : i have stockpiles, but i am not so inhuman as to use them. I am obliged to keep my nuclear arsenals only against the nuclear weapons of america.
Speaks america:-
America : i have kept my atomic weapons as deterrent to keep the aggressor away. I do not like even the proliferation of the atomic weapons.
The oracle speaks that if the delay in atomic war will allow them, every country capable of making atomic weapons will make them. And when war began, they will use them without compunction. A general view of the situation of the world shows that not only the region of middle east is sensitive but rather the whole atmosphere of the world is sensitive and hot. To single out one country such as pakistan and declare it dangerous in the present situation of the world does not appear as very reasonable. The conscience of the authors might have kept them certainly uneasy at their decision against pakistan unless indeed they believed in the full justification of their view. Let it be known that i am strongly opposed to the atomic bomb. I would dislike it even if my father made it. If these authors had tried to stop a country from making atomic bomb purely on humanitarian basis, it would have given me heart-felt joy, for i believe that the atomic bomb is a curse for even its owner. It is not a weapon. It is a divine chastisement. It is harbinger of poverty and misery whether it is in stockpiles or whether is in the battle field.
The authors are worried about the proliferation of atomic weapons in middle east. At the same time they fail to realize the existence of thousands of atomic weapons in some countries. They have followed the nuclear odyssey of middle east, but have ignored the nuclear iliad of atomic powers. It is a matter of common sense that the proliferation of nuclear weapons in the presence of the privileged class of nations could only be stopped in the non-privileged countries by force. But the force will become weaker and weaker, and the nuclear weapons will spread more and more all over the world. The stockpiles will on the earth twinkle like the stars in the sky on a dark night.
The authors express their satisfaction at the destruction of the iraqi reactor at oserak. They applaud it as, “the resounding direct approach to its solution”. They are mistaken. If all the atomic reactors and atomic weapons in the world are destroyed, they will again grow like the fruit in the season. Until the root of the trouble is cut, no action will be of any avail. The treaties of non-proliferation, the theories of deterrence, the ideas of no-first-strike will evaporate. Not only the treaty of non-proliferation of atomic bombs will fail and atomic weapons will spread, but also all other appendages of this baconian culture, namely, population, narcotics, terrorism, immorality, misery, dispute, selfishness, anxiety for the cruel necessities of life will proliferate, till the atmosphere of the world gets so hot that it will burst into atomic flames to reach the logical conclusion. No protection is possible from the atomic bomb, nor any protection is possible against the atomic radiations. And it is well known by the blinded scientists of the blinded world. Even now it appears that no alternative is left for this mankind but either to perish under the hails of atomic bombs suddenly, deservedly, or to die a slow, lingering miserable death under the deadly stings of the atomic radiations. Imagine the state of a world when every powerhouse, ship, factory, aeropalane and even the private car will have its own reactor. The atomic hell cares not for faith, religion, creed, colour, nationality, riches, poverty. It will destroy them that pride in their wealth, and have confidence in its continuation. The muslims, the christians, the communists, the hinds, the buddhists, the believers and the atheists will all meet the same end in the flames of the blazing nuclear jehannah. The nuclear iconoclast will scatter the statue of einstein, the god of scientists and the originator of the theory of
Relativity, into smithereens, but none will see them. Yet the world behaves like the old american who stamped the earth with his foot and cried, america cannot be destroyed. Who can tell the simple old man, that he could hardly have time to stamp the earth twice before american could be changed into scattered heaps of ash and soot.
How to escape the dreadful doom is the question. Super powers say, check the spread of the atomic weapons in non atomic countries and every thing will be ok. The sages say forget your quarrels, and there will be no third world war. Other ills like hunger and disease will be eliminated by more production. All these three prescription are failures. Non proliferation is impossible. Quarrels are on the increase. Hunger and disease is increasing in proportion to the increase in production. Bertrand russel died disappointed. In 1964. He wrote to me, “since adam and eve ate the apple, man has never abstained from any folly that he was capable of, and the end is the atomic bomb”. Was russell amiss in his surmise? Certainly not.
How to escape the atomic doom ? The philosophers of this modern age have failed to expose the real cause of the trouble. Their view has been limited to the quarrels and production. The study of this baconian modern atomism reveals that it is a culture of science-guided process of systematic, ever increasing, continuous and infinite progress, which is a means of wealth accumulation appearing as if this process will continue forever. Thus engrossment in wealth accumulation and a notion of the eternity of this process of wealth accumulation are the manifest characteristics of this particular culture. A study of the subject from galileoe’s astronomy through darwin’s biology to einstein’s relativity, and from the railway engine to the hydrogen bomb reveals explicitly that the desire of wealth and worldly facilities have been the incentive. The accumulation of wealth became the sole object of man’s life, and wealth assumed the form of a deity to be worshipped all over the world with a belief in its eternity. The influence of faith gradually dwindled and the sense of religion almost vanished. Thus the root of the trouble is greed. Another feature of this culture is propaganda which has assumed the intellectualized form of slander and backbiting in this age. And just as when these ingredients of dynamites combine, the result is explosive, when these three ingredients, namely, the propaganda, engrossment in
Wealth accumulation, and belief in the eternity of wealth combines, the result is atomic explosion. The atomic fire is the scientific, philosophical and logical result of these three habits. To escape, therefore, the horrible atomic doom in the blazing fires of atomic hell, the eradication of these three habits is essential. Yet it is hard for any one to believe that there is anything evil in these habits. They are so blinded by the intensity of the urge of greed, yet there is not a religion that has not condemned, exclusive love of wealth, and habit of slander. This surmise and its implications might appear as impracticable in the prevailing circumstances but the consequences are inevitable and to every sensible man frightful.
Painful indeed and thought-provoking fact discovered in the book is the message, ‘the bhudha is smiling’ the message that was sent to delhi on the successful test explosion of india in 1974. No worse example of the degree of degeneration of human mind could be cited. Bhudha, the symbol of peace and mercy, to smile on the abominable site of a demon that burned the people alive in millions, and made the life on earth miserable. Nay, but buddha at the site of horrors wept bitterly and turned his face away. If budhah smiled at the nuclear powers of india, and christ smiled at the christian prowess in hiroshima, and moses smiled at the nuclear prowess of israel, and mohammad peace be upon him, smiled on the nuclear prowess of the muslim, then on the day of the demonstration of the nuclear prowess of these powers, when this earth will pose as the blazing nuclear jehannah, satan will smile at the spectacle. The spectacle that proved the truth of his word, when he had said to god, “o god, i will not leave one of this man’s posterity to walk in your way”.
Muslims have not even taken offense at the hateful name, ‘the islamic bomb. They are so entirely engrossed in the world of materialism that in search of a few material benefits they are willing to swallow every insult. They can see the material benefits but they are blind to insults. Christians, jews and hindus can see one islamic bomb yet unborn, but are blind to those hundreds of thousands of deadly nuclear things that lay in the arsenals of the atomic powers. Mankind at large can see the trivial facilities of science but is totally blind to the havoc that the nuclear weapons and nuclear radiations are going to play with their life. The religious minded can see the religion dwindling in proportion to the increase in materialistic activities with the increase of progress, but cannot
Foresee the time when the religion will ultimately vanish before the all-time occupation of man’s mind by the materialistic activities. This universal blindness of one eye, the right eye, is a subject of research. There is a reminiscence of antichristic blindness of right eye in this feature so universally and so clearly to be seen in the present-day world. While the world of machines could be traced back to the golden calf of al-samari "the touch me not”.
I say not to you, that this spirit of this modern science-guided age of materialistic atomism is the same dajal as was predicted by holy prophet peace be upon him , but what i can say with certainty is that it is an evil spirit and it will roast this mankind alive in a nuclear kiln. Therefore in order to save the mankind, the destruction of this demon is necessary. It is the duty of the muslims, the followers of the quran to stand up against the atomic hell, and stop the nations from making the atomic bombs, and force the atomic powers to destroy their atomic stockpiles. This world will be grateful to him who will save the mankind from the painful atomic doom.
In 1945, after the catastrophe of hiroshima, ronald knox wrote in his book, ‘god and the atom,’ heavens preserve us from the nuclear baptism, i happened to read this book in 1970, the book was so well written, it was so impressive that it could have changed the mind of mankind. But nothing happened. It appeared only as the first severe shock of the unbelievably great confrontation caused by a single bomb. The book is written on philosophic pattern and does not contain the harrowing tales of the dreadful nuclear hazards. The book proved to be no more than a sigh of repentance and sorrow. The world went on with nuclear programme. Who could stop any one determined to jump in the fire. Ronald knox stated future probabilities in the world of religion, pined for a person with unusual capability, to appear and save the world. He wrote:-
“and i suspect that the atom will be the totem of irreligion tomorrow, as the amoeba was yesterday. Meanwhile we have to reckon not only with the attacks of our enemies, but with the inadequate apologies of faint-hearted friends. There will be an intensified demand for the kind of apologetic which gives up the notion of religious certainty, and attempts to rally the sporting spirit of our compatriots in favour of a balance of probabilities. There will be fresh attempts to dissociate natural theology
Altogether from our experience of the world around us, to concentrate more and more on arguments derived from the exigencies and the instincts of the human nature itself. Meanwhile, the seminary trained theologian, with all the wisdom of the centuries at his fingertips, will find himself more than ever talking a strange language, more than ever at cross purposes with the shibboleths of an atomic age. So it will go on, i suppose, till we find someone with enough courage, enough learning, enough public standing to undertake the synthesis; there is a battle royal, long overdue, which has still to be fought out a the academic level”.
(god and the atom page 18)
Sense of religion has fast dwindled during the years after the tragic event of hiroshima. Mankind is so engrossed in the struggle for the necessities of life, and the governments are so anxious about the solemnity and integrity of their countries, that the sense of religion has disappeared from the human mind. Though in the western countries in recent years clergy has stood up against the atomic bombs, but to no tangible avail. However, nearer the nuclear hazards approach, the greater will the anxiety of the people be, and stronger will be the endeavour against the abominable thing, the nuclear bomb. But that which ronald knox has said about the person to fight the royal battle, let it be known that the fighter of the royal battle was engaged in struggle even at the time when the book god and the atom was being written in 1945. I was assigned the mission in mussayib in iraq in 1942. The abrahamic mission to warn this world about the horrors of the atomic hell. Since then i am engaged in a gruesome struggle, and now i have fourteen volumes in english complete that treat the entire subject of atomism, from democritus to the atomic bomb. This world will be saved from the nuclear jehannah, god willing, insha allah.
A certain amount of discretion is necessarily to be exercised by any one who writes a book. Particularly so, if the book treats some international topic. A casual slip on the part of the writer may throw a world in convulsions and do unpredictable damage to the peace and solemnity of the entire mankind. Did not the authors of "the islamic bomb" realize that such a name of the book will mean insult to the entire muslim community and injure their feelings severely. Was it not possible to choose some other appropriate name, for example, “the nuclear threat
Increasing in the middle east” etc. Do the authors think that they have rendered any service to humanity or to any block by making the name of their book so conspicuous as to arouse the antagonistic feelings of two regions of the world, and to create rivalry and enmity between them. Feelings may smolder and may not find way to expressions, but the checked feelings do erupt with greater intensity in time. The book could have been written in a different way with better acceptability and better results.
They wonder whence pakistan got the uranium. They know that israel got uranium and they know that india got uranium, but why should they think it difficult for pakistan to get uranium. If others could sow radium and grow uranium, and could raise nuclear winds to feel the nuclear whirlwinds why not pakistan. All the declarations of pakistan’s government, that pakistan had no intention of making the atomic bomb are ignored. No one believes no one in this nuclear affair? So unblessed is this theme. These authors could not be blamed. It is the urge of the process of atomism that drives the human mind towards the logical conclusion of the process, namely the atomic hell. Their next books should be, “nuclear mania on the increase in the world”, but one rebuke from these authors can bring my entire argument to nothing. They can well cry:-
"hold thy peace, thou unwitty antagonist of our lord the nuclear bomb, our saviour, the only saviour, who can dissolve all our woes in the twinkling of an eye”.
They can well say this, and this with truth. Though the situation is not as yet so dismal. The more the knowledge spreads about the real situation, and the more the people know about the woeful hazards of the nuclear power, the more unfavourable becomes their opinion. The opposition movement is on the increase in the countries that have stockpiles. The antagonistic feelings are even permeating the countries that have no atomic weapons. The anti nuclear movement will increase in proportion to the increase in troubles. Let us not be disappointed. And let us try with all our heart to save this world from the shameful and painful end in the flames of the blazing nuclear jehannah.
Part-i
Chapter-3
The islamic bomb- preface
Islamic bomb, and what is the islamic bomb? Is it the atomic bomb which is the symbol of misery and destruction? Miseries that no milton and no bunyan could have a heart to describe. In short is it the atomic bomb that certain powers in the world today possess and style themselves as super powers? No. Indeed not. The islamic bomb is not a nuclear bomb. It is a bomb of logic and reason that annihilates the entire possibility of atomic war and saves the world from the miseries of atomic hell, both of this present world as well as of the next eternal world. It is a miracle that the quran should treat the subject of atomism and atomic science, and warn against the atomic hell at a time when no one in this world could even dream of the things like atomic science and atomic bomb. The quran enjoins its followers to keep their war-preparations in readiness against the enemies. But unfortunately the atomic bomb is not a weapon of war. It is the divine punishment. And there is no protection against the divine punishment, nor is there a way of escape. There is no protection against the atomic bomb or the atomic radiations. The scientist has called it, “the total annihilation of life on earth”. The quran has named it hotama, the atomic hell. No one remains to claim victory after the atomic war. The survivors would envy the fate of those who died. The quran points out the malpractices as the cause which when reformed, would mean the disappearance of the effect that is the atomic hell automatically.
And what would you call the atomic-energy-for-peace? Energy. No it is not energy. It is curse. It only is the temptation, the bait to draw this mankind into the atomic hell . In case this mankind
Did succeed in delaying the atomic war for sufficient interval, then the atomic-energy-for-peace would take the toll and would destroy life on earth including the mankind in a painful, lingering, miserable manner due to the long-term and the short-term effects of atomic radiations inherent in the very nature of atomic energy. This also is not merely an alarmist view. There is no bigotry, no fanaticism in it at all. Yes, every radiobiologist who happens to have the knowledge of his subject will attest the truth of this very sober, very matter-of-fact statement. Because there is no general, universal protection possible for mankind against the radiations whose genetic effects are irreparable, irreversible, cumulative, inheritable and multiplicative, and are capable of changing this mankind into cancer-ridden , imbecile, diseased, stinking chimeras before making them extinct. This equally applies to all species of animals and plants. One has only to look a little farther into the future to see the real picture which is inevitable. Surely the influence of the causes of the appearance of the atomic energy, and the gravity of the impelling doom has rendered the mankind, the scientist and the non-scientist so blind as to give themselves up to the universal and long-term experiment of atomic energy as guinea pigs inspite of the knowledge of the grievous hazards, and on the only hope of someday, somehow, stumbling at some discovery which might prove a remedy for the atomic ills and hazards in the course of the universal atomic experiment that of adopting the atomic-energy-for-peace universally. A discovery not at all in sight, anyway. If the recent incident in the atomic reactor in america and the unprotected state of a million people in the neighbourhood of the unruly reactor, and the panic of the american government has not opened the eyes of mankind, and countries in the world still clamour for the atomic reactors for the atomic-energy-for-peace, then what other event will. But unfortunately the exceptionality of the case of the atomic energy is that once the mankind has adopted the atomic energy for even a
Short time, the die will be cast and no repentance will be of any avail. There is no protection against the atomic radiations.
What is the islamic bomb? What is the extent of its destruction? Is it inferior or superior to the existing nuclear bombs. The islamic bomb is not a nuclear bomb. It is a warning of the quran about hotama, the nuclear jehannah. (quran 104-al-homaza). The quran therein deals with the modern baconian atomism to its logical end that is the atomic hell. The quran threatens the followers of the three basic evils, the characteristics of the modern atomism with punishment in the flames of hotama, the atomic hell, and thereafter describes the nuclear fire giving such characteristics as distinguish the atomic phenomenon from the rest, e.g. , chemical, electrical etc. In so masterly scientific a manner, and with such brevity and precision, that a poor mortal like einstein would hear and marvel at the clear supremacy of the divine. Just imagine the state of my mind, when in 1962 the discovery of the philosophic and scientific interpretation of the prophecy came upon me. To this day i have struggled alone. No one shared or could share the field with me. This world could escape the atomic hell, only, by removing the cause, that is the three evils which the quran has pointed out. The warning of the quran falls like lightening upon those who believe in resurrection and the next life, because the three evils to justify the punishment in atomic hell are the same as may be seen today in vogue, universally while hotama is the eternal atomic hell of the next eternal world. This transient atomic hell of this transient world is only the replica there of. It is simply impossible for anyone to deny the miraculous aspect of this prophecy recorded fourteen centuries ago, nor is there any probability for any one to reject this argument as a proof of the divine origin of the quran.
Whether the atomic powers will destroy this world and will thus destroy themselves along with the world in the nuclear suicide, and whether the muslims will succeed in preparing their own atomic hell, or whether this actual islamic-atomic-bomb-neutralizer will save this world of allah from the painful annihilation of life by the atomic bombs and the atomic radiations is known to one who is the creator of this creation himself. But one thing which could be said with certainty is, that if this world is destroyed by the atomic annihilation, the tragedy will happen quite deservedly. And what we can say to that except alas. But let us not be the victims of dismay and disappointment. And let us pray to allah the most merciful allah, he has the power to give this mankind sight to see the reality, and he has the power to endow the mind of this now maddened humanity with serenity and right judgment, so that they might be able to see and discern their error, and the error of the path they now track in an ill-applied zeal. What greater and surer sign of madness in this present-day mankind is necessary to be observed than that the atomic powers should be proud of the title super powers merely on the dint of their possessing the stock-piles of atomic bombs, the means of destruction even of their own, and that they should sincerely believe that they will forever be able to put a curb on the proliferation of the atomic energy to save this world from the atomic anarchy whose frightful storms are now brewing to throw this world in utter nuclear confusion. There are signs everywhere in very conspicuous colours, but alas, when men choose to play the blind, or when the influence of certain causes turns them blind, they fail to see even the clearest of signs. The recent incidents, in america, of the leaking of some of the atomic reactors, and the alarm and misery in the public was well as the government circles at the situation might prove vain in the course of increasing confusion. The influence of the grievous doom is too impelling to allow a streak of the light of reality. The clouds of
Trouble on the horizon are too glaring to be missed by any one, but will anyone pay heed to them and set up a hue and cry, or if any one sets up a hue and cry at the sight of this rising fire, will any one care to make response.
Or will you say, as you have been saying, as if by habit till now, islam not only allows the progress of science, but even these achievements of modern science are the actual aim, and the object of the teachings of the quran. But, have you ever tried to think that this modern science is by nature an infinite process, on which is based this modern material progress which also is infinite by its nature. Both have to move infinitely with ever-increasing tempo, employing and manipulating gradually the greater, ever-greater part of man’s mind and time, expelling the reform gradually the thought of religion, and the thought of the next world, and the thought of god. It is not the mere fanciful thought, nor it is only a work of a delusive imagination. The fact could be confirmed by observation. Put to your scrutiny the gradual state of religion against the affair of the material progress during the past fifty, forty, thirty, twenty, ten, five, two, one year, nay six months, three months, three weeks, two weeks, two days, one day. Compare yesterday’s state with today’s and you will not miss the gradual deterioration in the state of religion and the increasing occupation of man’s mind by the affair of the world. It can be easily seen that ultimately the religion will be completely expelled from man’s mind and the thought, and occupation of this world will reign supreme as the sole affair, but alas; only for one end, that is, atomic destruction.
Anyone who will understand this fact, it will be very strange if the same man will insist on his belief that islam did allow such a kind of material progress, a progress that implied the destruction both of faith and life. Islam does allow the two wheels and two wings, and
