Every people in the world have been allowed to speak with complete freedom and openness about the grievances they may have, being allowed to talk with complete respect and civility about what is important to them. Every people except the Muslims of the world have been allowed this. It is the Muslims, now that the other people have been Westernized in thinking and indoctrinated into materialism, which need to be zealously converted to this belief or forced to follow this way. The various sell-out, traitor leaders of all the major Muslim countries have embarked on a civilizing and acculturation campaign to deny or minimize the role of Islam in the lives of the Muslims, those who believe in Islam. To many people in the materialistic countries of the world, we are viewed with fear, hatred, mistrust, and as if we are a threat to civilization, wealth, and the peace of the world. Muslims have become the �black sheep� of the modern era, we are viewed as primitive, inhuman outcasts. The Western countries and their materialistic allies have embarked on a campaign filled with hate and pure prejudice of the worst kind. The governments of many countries are indoctrinating their citizens and future generations with a mentality which will serve to demonize Muslims and make acceptable the bombings, economic sanctions, mockery of religion, and culture, while belittling Muslim views on various matters of utter importance in an attempt to silence them. An ideology of hate and of fascist nature has taken root and sprout in many countries in a few short years which may cause the most horrendous genocides and human crises as have never been seen before under the vague, ill-defined guise of �the war on terror.�

When will the Muslims realize what is happening around them. The eradication of centuries-old Muslim cultures looms heavily in the near future. The Muslims of the modern era have fallen, as a result of colonialism and genocide, into scrambling among themselves for the bare necessities of living, such as food, water, and clothing. Muslim society is deteriorating into lawlessness and death, with the tacit approval of all the strong powers of the world. And yet we hear of divisive ethnic nationalism and the progression of sectarianism rising day by day. One would think the Muslims of the world have lost all sense, or rather have resolved to live like animals. The West preaches to us that we have never done much to contribute to modern civilization, and some of us have lost the skills which our ancestors were so adept at, especially of pride and honor of what Muslim civilization truly is. Islamic history is not the history of small squabbling nation-states attempting to undermine the other, as we are told by the Materialists that human history essentially is. There lies a vast period of our history which we have forgotten, or rather were forced to forget with the sorrow associated with the loss of preeminence and freedom. Muslims do not realize that had the Europeans and their children not obliterated our governing institutions, executed our benevolent leaders (the kings, sultans, wazirs), eradicated the traditional centers of Islamic knowledge (to be replaced by state-run, state-paid scholars), and murdered many true, just Islamic teachers, and if they did not continually terrorize our people (men, women, children, and elderly) for more than 200 years of tyrannical pillage and murder, we would definitely not be in the situation we are in today. The arrival of the Europeans into our sovereign territories was the greatest calamity to have ever been experienced by our people. These colonizers killed more of our people than the bubonic plague, the brutal Romans, the Crusaders, and the Mongols combined. We are never taught of the negative effects of the domination of foreign politics, foreign armies, foreign theft, and foreign suppression which lasted for two whole centuries, even though it effectively brought the destruction of the indigenous infrastructure and traditional way of life of Muslims throughout the world. This policy of interference has neither stopped nor abetted, even to this day. Those people of the world who embraced Christianity or those who accepted materialistic systems (the two go hand in hand usually) were granted some liberty, as opposed to the proud Muslims who to this day resist the imposition of foreign ways on them.

Islam is the ideological treasure of the Muslim people all throughout the world. This religion is the source of the courageous rejection of materialist doctrines and the bulwark of resistance against Christianization or secularization. The Muslim has been chained and beaten for 200 years, he has been denied the respect and honor which is due to him, to this very day. The faith of the Muslim populace have prevented them from falling into the traps of selfishness and egoism which is flourishing in the West. If any religion in the world can be Anti-Imperialist, it is Islam which relates in its holy scriptures of the benevolence of resisting invasion from foreigners and of dealing with justice among all men. Economically, Islam completely opposes Capitalist doctrine and the free market economy. Politically, Islam sets out a vast array of sacred laws which can never be broken while allowing plurality in the setting up and sustainance of Islamic governing systems. Islam makes it clear that all Muslims are brothers and sisters, and that human life of all people is sacred regardless of color, religion, political affiliation, and gender. The overreaching doctrine in Islam is that all people are entitled by Allah (swt) to their right to live on this earth with peace and security, except those who violate the peace and security of others. Compared to the hypocrisy of the modern Western champions of �human rights, liberty, and freedom� and those of their surrogates governing Muslim countries, Islam has always retained a clear advantage with its insistence on the core principles of justice and equality. Many Islamic scholars are attempting to reverse the destitution and fragile condition of Muslim societies, yet progress is slow as Western pressure and influence have always been to deny Islam a place among Muslims and to continue to support brutal dictators who murder, imprison, and torture the most popular Islamic leaders of the modern era.

The elites of the Muslim countries have become completely isolated from the Muslim societies they are supposed to govern. The West has raised this upper class into their own image and taught them to adopt their materialistic lifestyle and imitate their languages, politics, dress, and neglect for religion. The vast majority of the people in the Muslim world are poor, illiterate, yet strongly faithful religious people who have been misused by those in power or those seeking power. The poor are helpless and lack the ability to mobilize effectively as every hour of day is spent in trying to sustain their families by working of begging. The rich, Westernized elites have created a situation in which 90% of their people, the Muslims of the world, are on the edge of living or dying, this is supported by the Western power structure. Those of the people who come from poor backgrounds are denied proper access to education and discrimination by class is epidemic. This results in emigration outside of the nations and of the concentration of diaspora communities in the West which seek a better life for their children and an end to the almost inevitable cycle of poverty back home.

There is emerging a new religious awakening in many areas of the Islamic world which has adopted Pan-Islamic ideology among Muslims that teaches all Muslim brothers are equal regardless of ethnicity, sect, or language. Increase in donations and charity to fellow Muslims and the rise of a new phenomena of Islamic activism has been the result of this movement. Islamic unity may well be the salvation of the predicament in which the Muslims of the world find themselves today. The lack of unity can be explained as the major cause of the weak political position of Muslims in the world, which is reflected in the UN and world media. Oftentimes, the violent and unyielding position of Materialistic countries, led by the West, against the upliftment and self-determination of Muslims by their own wishes may be another reason. The elites of the Muslim world, who are distrustful of the masses, have also strongly opposed any attempt at Muslim unity. The basic issue, however, remains the modern global power structure which discriminates and isolates the influence and power to an elite backed by the West.

The question to ask is how long will the Muslims accept this status quo which discriminates and abuses them? It is time that we Muslims take our leaders and oppressive foreign governments to task for their continuing humiliation and degradation of our people. Two whole centuries of poverty, death, and fear is enough!
