History Of the Clash between Islam and Other Civilisations -- Pages 1 2 3 4 5 6
These people know Islam in its reality, rather even better than some
Muslims. Nixon, the former American president, whose sayings we have
already mentioned his sayings: "Their ideals which cannot be
afforded…Fundamentalism turns it backwards…Islamists are ideological
enemies", we find him say in his book 'The Favourable Opportunity': "Islam is not merely a religion; rather it is a basis for a great civilisation."
So he distinguishes between Islam from Christianity, and he says in the
same book in his discussion about fundamentalists: "They are
determined to return the previous Islamic civilisation through reviving
the past, and they aim to implement the Islamic Shari'ah and announce
that Islam is a deen and a State." Furthermore he says: "However, our civilisation is not more advanced than their civilisation. The Islamic
world fought communism with more strength than the Western world
fought it, and their rejection of material things and the widespread
immoral excesses in the Western world is a credit for them and not
against them." Just as you see that he is sincere in such words; they,
however, did not prevent him from announcing that we are ideological
enemies.
They also did not prevent him from conspiring against Muslims
and assisting Jews against them. So he says in his book 'Victory without
War': "Our commitment to the survival of Israel is a profound
commitment. We are not official allies. Rather what binds us together is
something greater than any paper scraps. It is a moral commitment, a
commitment that no president in the past ever abandoned; and every
future president will fulfil it with sincerity. America will never permit
Israel's enemies who swore to inflict grievous damage upon her to realise
their goal in destroying her." He also says in his book 'The Favourable
Opportunity': "In order to protect the threatened democratic
governments such as Israel and South Korea, we are prepared to use
military power if necessary." He also says: "No American president or
Congress will ever be able to permit the destruction of Israel."
These
people understand the reality of Islam and its civilisation; however they
insist upon their kufr, enmity and tricks. This is not strange. The Muslim
might understand the Western civilisation more than some of its sons,
yet still he remains sincere to his deen and civilisation, just as the contrary
can occur. So it is imperative that Muslims are not fooled by these types
of statements.
The existence of the rightly guided Khilafah upon the way of
Prophethood is the fundamental cornerstone in the clash between Islam
and kufr. It is naivety and poor understanding to confine the struggle
with its various forms to mere da'wah in the various types of media,
writing books and individual contacts, at the time wherein Islam is not
implemented and the situation of Muslims is deplorable in weakness,
disgrace, backwardness and division.
Once the State existed, then justice,
dignity, happiness, humanity and every type of goodness will be
manifested in it; and the near and distant, Muslim and kafir will notice
that. Its existence will replace the millions of books and contacts, and
thousands of types of media. If what was mentioned before is added to
its existence, you will see people entering the deen of Allah in crowds.
THE END.
