The Islamic State & The "Civil State"


Bismillah al-Rahman al-Raheem
Introduction

 NOTE: This is first part of a long series-I post it to educate the West what our enemies are saying, writing, believing-please take heed! Please notice the web site from which I posted this...need I say more?

The Islamic world is experiencing nowadays, especially in the Arabic-speaking countries, severe birth pangs whose consequences will be decisive either in favour of the Islamic Ummah or the Kuffar under the leadership of America, Allah forbid. The real plane of the battle is cultural, i.e. a battle of thoughts, or what America has labelled as the “Battle for Hearts and Minds”. Military battles result in killing people and destroying equipments and properties, whereas the battles of thoughts result in directing the behaviour of nations and individuals, transforming their way of life and changing their raison d’être. They are the most dangerous and the fiercest of battles and their knock-on effect on nations and peoples could last for decades and even centuries in some cases.

The real battle that toppled the Ottoman Islamic Khilafah was a battle of thoughts; the rules of Islam were attacked because they supposedly were behind the times, the bond of Islamic fraternity was attacked by evoking ethnic tendencies and the post of Khilafah was attacked sometimes because it purportedly represented the dictatorial rule and sometimes because it was allegedly theocratic, i.e. a divine authority, since the Khalifah to the Muslims was like the Pope to the Christians, though there was no room for comparison between the two posts. Some educated individuals smitten by the concepts of Western civilisation at that time were duped into thinking that separating religion from the state would achieve progress.


Once the state started to stagger under the influence of the cultural invasion that targeted the Ummah, who had been experiencing a state of intellectual decline, some of its citizens delivered the coup de grace from within when, under the tutelage of the Kafir West, the traitor Mustafa Kemal Ataturk announced the abolition of the post of Khilafah and declared Turkey as a nationalist secular state that separated religion from life. Once the Ottoman Khilafah was destroyed, the colonial powers shared the lands of Islam and fragmented them into states and emirates, drawing their borders and establishing for each an army, a constitution and laws; they also established for each new state a flag, a capital and a ruler – guardian of the Western interests.They consolidated this fragmentation with independence days to effectively celebrate the dividing of the Muslims’ lands.

The new states were originally established on the basis of separating Islam from the life of the Muslims, discarding it from the transactional affairs of the state and society and confining it to the relationship of the individual with Allah (swt), i.e. the rituals.

The Islamic Ummah is always magnetised towards her Islam irrespective of the multiple styles of deception targeting her to strip her off her religion and its rules, because she is a noble nation and she only finds delight in the system of Islam. Although she was oblivious to the division of the lands of Islam after she had been deceived, she does not relish division because Shari’ah calls for the rejection of division. Hence, the secular regimes that ruled the Islamic countries after the destruction of the Khilafah were characterised with oppression and an iron-fist approach to prevent people from making their real choice, as secularism, i.e. separating religion from life, had never been a real choice for the Ummah.

In the middle of the 20th century and about 25 years after the destruction of the Khilafah, the Da’awah (call) for the resumption of the Islamic way of life by restoring Islam as the foundation of the State emerged, exhorting the Ummah to refer her affairs to Islam’s rules and laws. This Da’awah drew the attention of Ummah anew to come round from her slumber and take heed of her religion which had been the authority in her life, the sole reference point in her affairs and the cause of her happiness, pride and pre-eminence among other nations.

Towards the end of the seventies in the past century, and after the eruption of the revolution in Iran with the emergence of a regime announcing its rise on the basis of Islam, the Muslims became aware of the practicable return of the rule by Islam. The pace of the Da’awah for restoring Islam as a ruling authority gathered momentum and the West dubbed the ensuing period as the “Islamic Awakening”.
America however, who had been behind the toppling of the Shah by exploiting the Ummah’s genuine love of her Islam and using it then to declare the “Jihad in Afghanistan” to destabilise the Soviet Union, was herself behind the plot to strike the “Twin Towers”.  This was in order to instigate the “War on Terror”,whose main objectives was to extinguish the spark of the Ummah’s awakening that had started to ignite the fervour of the Muslim youths to gain more awareness about the reality of Islam and to work towards restoring it in the realm of life by establishing the authority upon its basis. Thus, the policy of combating terror was the pretext aimed at aborting that phenomenon, which began to petrify the Kafir West headed by America.

The Western Kuffar, led by America, are fully aware that the persistent awakening of the Ummah with such an impetus and at that growing pace will inevitably place them on a collision course with the Islamic Ummah; thus they hastened to put their plans into motion after they had carried out extensive studies with the help of research centres that dedicated all their efforts for the monitoring of that awakening and its consequences.Then they immediately embarked upon executing their plans to divert that awakening and fight it with all means possible, including killing, detaining, and torturing the Muslim youths who were  eager to support their religion, in addition to sidetracking their progress and distorting their reputation and the image of Islam in the eyes of the Muslims and the other nations and states, using their enormous propaganda machine and exploiting the media outlets of their surrogates and agents from among the gang leaders whom America appointed to rule the Muslims’ countries.

The American version of the Greater Middle East Initiative was announced in 2004 during the G8 summit. After extensive deliberations on the French and German projects and following the counsel of a host of experts, it was decided to refrain from referring to any of the proposed projects as the “project for the Islamic World” and from any reference to Islam, so as not to arouse the attention of the Muslims to the animosity of the Kafir West, led by America, towards Islam and the Muslims. Not withstanding dubbing the project as the “Grater Middle East Initiative” is more accurate since most of the countries of the Islamic world were geographically added to the project; the Greater Middle East Initiative includes the Islamic countries from Afghanistan in the east to Morocco and Mauritania in the west, and from Turkey in the north to Yemen and Sudan in the south.

The main objective of the Grater Middle East Initiative is to reshape the region of the Islamic world in a manner that would secure America’s unilateral dominion in the 21st century.  America realised that safeguarding her dominion requires predominantly alienating Islam from the realm of life, i.e. maintaining the separation of religion from running the affairs of the Islamic Ummah and preventing the Ummah from thinking about resuming her life on the basis of Islam. This could only be brought about by persuading the Ummah of the necessity to keep Islam away from politics, i.e. away from the state, the authority and the managing of the Ummah’s affairs, and confine it to the relationship between the servant and his Lord, namely the “spiritual worships”.

Keeping Islam away from the life of the Muslims entails the following:

- Generating a conviction among the Muslims themselves about the necessity of maintaining Islam away from attaining power, i.e. away from the life of the Ummah, under a host of pretexts such as: averting the world’s backlash against the Muslims, coyness about the image of Islam that the West had succeeded in linking to “extremism”, “terrorism” and savagery, in addition to the image of Islam that the West had strived to link it to backwardness.

- Concentrating the Western thought along with some of its approved, such as democracy, pluralism and general freedoms; one of the first declared aims of the Grater Middle East Initiative was to spread democracy and “sound government”.

- The most dangerous undertaking of the West in its bid to alienate the real Islam from life is formulating a new Islam that conforms to the American fashion, namely the “democratic civil Islam”, by shrouding the Kufr concepts with a “legitimate” cloak to pacify the emotions of the Muslim laymen, forfeit the landscapes of the real Islam and dilute its thoughts under the pretext of concord between Islam and secularism.  The “democratic civil Islam” that America is calling for is nothing but secularism in a deceitful cloak. She had planned for Turkey to play a meticulous “regional” role in the Greater Middle East to propagate the new American religion. America wants to generalise the Turkish model and turn it into an archetype with the aim of concentrating secularism in the Muslims’ countries at the hands of what they refer to as “moderate Muslims”. Former US President Bill Clinton heralded the role of Turkey when he addressed the Turkish parliament by saying: “But, more importantly, I believe Turkey's future will be critical to shaping the 21st century.” Hence, the pilgrimage of al-Ghannoushi and some of his comrades to Turkey to acquaint themselves with the aspects of the Turkish experiment on coexistence between Islam and secularism comes as no surprise; the conspicuous stance of Turkey vis-à-vis the events of the region and her support of the masses in what has been dubbed as the revolutions of the “Arab Spring” should also not surprise us.

- Renovating the Western thought afresh, i.e. “renovating secularism” by designing a host of new jargons and slogans that do not evoke the emotions of the Muslims and which are susceptible to elucidation and interpretation in conformity with Islam, such as the jargons of “sound government”, “reforms”, “civil society”, “civil state” and the like.

Comment: Take heed, they have no difficulty demanding their way or the "highway" and expect us in the West to bow to them-you either stand up now for your values or be killed for having them-yes, killed! I understand the gravity of this comment, learn how a non-Muslim is treated in Islamic territory! Do not be mislead by our enemies's English explanation, they are replete with intentional misdirection.
