Roots Of Nationalism In The Muslim World by Shabir Ahmed

After many attempts to take on the Islamic State, the European powers realised that the Muslims were militarily undefeatable. So they set about looking for other means of weakening and defeating the Muslims. They concluded at the end that the only way to defeat the Muslims was to take their understanding of Islam away from them, and thus cause the Islamic State to collapse from within. The vicious Jewish Prime Minister of Britain, Disraeli, once held a copy of the Qur’an in the House of Commons and said that the Muslims can never be defeated until this is taken from them, pointing to the Qur’an. What he meant was that the understanding of Islam must be taken away from the Muslims in order to defeat them; and this is exactly what they set out to achieve.

Sowing the poisonous seeds of nationalism was the start of the new campaign.

Europe set out to achieve its objective of destroying the Islamic State by sending its agents disguised as missionaries involved in the field of science and humanitarian aid.

This invasion was designed to allow the political intelligence and the colonial departments to establish their roots in the heart of the Muslim world. The great mistake on the part of the Islamic State was that it allowed these missionaries to operate freely, not realising the consequences that were about to follow.

These missionaries, which consisted of British, French and American agents, had two main objectives.

i) To distance the Muslims from the correct understanding of Islam, by inserting doubt and conjecture into the minds of the Muslims regarding their ‘aqeedah.

ii) To create a rift between the Turks, the Persians and the Arabs. This was in the form of the poisonous seed of nationalism.
