The book offers brilliant
new thinking and scholarly visions responding to
complex and changing global crisis situations. Dr.
Mahboob A. Khawaja shares cross-cultural knowledge and
international experiences to spearhead the interests
and values of Man, Humanity and the Universe - the
embodied global citizenry ignored by the rulers and
scholars in abstract notions and superficial models of
peace and security management. Few universally most
hated and feared leaders overwhelmed with pretensions
and perpetuated animosity are terrorizing the mankind
that Arnold Toynbee calls warriors as dreamers and
Hans Morganthau would define them as cruel monsters,
sucking out its moral and spiritual values to be just
digits and numbers - insecure and vulnerable to
catastrophic future. The Universe engulfed with
dysfunctional organizations, secret weapons and
nuclear disasters and global warming are time bombs in
waiting. The warmongers are anti-human and
anti-peace. Righteousness and wickedness cannot be
combined in one human character. The humanity looks to
scholars of new ideas and integrity for a secure
future, logically spells out Dr. Mahboob – "Man and
Humanity in Search of New Thinking" – Global Citizenry
as the nucleus body of peace and conflict resolution
to reshape anew future. Dr. Khawaja enriched with
optimism and political imagination integrates the
moral and spiritual values as the rational forces of
global mankind in a model for peace and conflict
management and a sustainable future.
The 21st
century's egomaniac politicians obsessed with
perpetuated animosity, tyranny of corruption and
transgression are challenging the Laws of God and
waging bogus wars of terrorism against the very
humanity they falsely claim to represent; and the
global institutions of peace and security rendered
dysfunctional craving another age of darkness and
catastrophic future. Arnold Toynbee called the
warriors as dreamers and Hans Morganthau would have
defined them as sadistic monsters. To change the
prevalent despotism into optimism, Dr. Mahboob A.
Khawaja – a global visionary and proactive scholar in
global peace, security and conflict management offers
intelligent new thinking and persuasively powerful new
visionary models of the real world in peace-making and
conflict management. Under the materialistic hegemonic
control of the few, the news media is being used as a
keyboard to afloat the delusional economic happiness
in the minds of the masses encouraging the
contemporary scholars, policy experts and academics to
ignore the true assets of the mankind and its moral
and spiritual value-based imperatives in peace and
conflict management paradigms. All conscientious and
thinking scholars would reaffirm the role and vitality
of the global citizenry in peace and conflict
resolution; yet, the sadistic warmongers view the
humanity just in digits and numbers and continue to
drain-out its positive energies, thinking and
aspirations by global warfare. The delusional
superpowers led by the US are at crossroads -
politically, morally and financially broken and unable
to cope with continuous uncertainty of the future that
soon they could be replaced by more efficient,
productive and responsible emerging nations of the
East to assume leadership role in global affairs. In
fast approaching peak-oil age and soaring oil prices,
the proponents of the bogus War on Terror are
investing heavily in animosities against Islam and
Muslims, militarization and creating invincible armies
to dream of glory and triumph - the consequences of
their own triviality and viciousness against the
mankind, they cannot escape. To trade-in the high
priced oil supplies, the Western masters manipulate
the Arab rulers in war racketeering schemes and
weapons buying to quell the Arab people's movements
for freedom and new future. If the oil-exporting Arabs
and Muslims nations had educated and intellectual
leadership they could have performed a balancing act
in global affairs. Not so, they are subservient to the
political masters of the West. The re-enacted NATO
has its integrity and capability online to manage
superficial animosities and to encounter the
reactionary Islamic militancy; something it failed to
do against the former Warsaw Pact nations under the
USSR led ideological warfare. The continuous wars
have incapacitated the Arab-Muslim nations as some are
complacent in providing logistical support to the
US-British aggressions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Across Western Europe and
North America, the people are against the wars but the
US one track military minds are pursuing more
seen-unseen wars against the Arabs-Muslims, not just
to occupy their natural resources but to go beyond
Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan onward to Iran and
occupy the lands and people. The Crusader's call
fomented by George Bush assumes religious warfare
against the Arabs- and Islam. The author wonders, if
the oil enriched Arab elite could ever rejoin the
Rational Thinking and have the freedom to THINK on
their own of a Navigational Change to avert the
self-geared disasters?
The contemporary Western
leaders are misleading the masses into delusional
happiness. Wars do not create economic prosperity.
Man-made conflicts are not the means to pursue peace
and harmony. Righteousness and wickedness cannot be
combined in one human character, so is the resulting
tragic politics of the 21st century world.
The Earth and Space are wired with secrecy and global
warming is a clicking time bomb for the future. The
most hated and feared leaders do not have the
intellectual and political capacity to solve any
problems which they have created. The humanity looks
to proactive scholars and intelligent and honest
people of new ideas, integrity and leaders of change
to envisage peace and plan the future - logically
and fascinately spells out Dr. Mahboob – "Man and
Humanity in Search of New Thinking" - for Man,
humanity and the Universe to co-exist without
animosity of the few vengeful mindsets. Man being the
most intelligent creation on Earth and the nucleus of
Humanity must think of his originality of Creation and
coherent role-play within the Laws of God governing
Man's life and the Universe. The Man, the Humanity and
the Universe must be seen as interrelated to envisage
global peace and harmony on One Plant. Life, the
universe and the laws of governance of the planet are
not the outcomes of politicians and staged actors. Is
there ANEW culture of Thinking and emotions to bring
the mankind back to its originality of Rationality,
Unity and Co-existence to save the humanity and
civilizations? Lessons of history are ignored –
universally most feared and most hated leaders, who
drove the mankind to the insanity of the Two World
Wars, likewise are actively engaged with gospel in one
hand and the war on terrorism in the other to
undermine the future prospects of the mankind.
Consequently, failed international institutions,
incompetent and corrupt global leadership affiliated
to the Washington-based Military-Industrial complex
continues to enforce militarization of the globe - an
insane perversion against the logic of peace and
co-existence amongst the mankind. As a revulsion
against the insanity of the wars perpetuated by the
few leaders, the mankind looks to Men of intellect and
scholars of integrity for workable solutions. Dr.
Khawaja argues that the future belongs to the global
citizenry not to the few sadistic warlords, and that
an informed and politically mature and active global
citizenry must have opportunities to exercise its
rights, choice and freedom to develop the futuristic
global institutions and governance by integrating the
moral and spiritual values of Man, humanity and the
living Universe as the coherent rational forces of
global conscience for a sustainable future.. Being on
One Planet- ONE WORLD, People of the Globe to which
the Universe belongs, have never consented to any
abstract institutions or governments or egomaniac
leaders to act on their behalf? Future belongs to the
people, not to the insane warmongers. The message, its
purpose and its spirit are clear that the mankind as
ONE rational force must act to safeguard the future.
