Wani daga cikin malaman Faransa, Count Henri Decastri, ya rubuta a littafinsa mai suna ‘Islam’ a shekarar 1896,

One of the French learned writers Count Henri Decastri wrote in his book entitled ‘Islam’ in 1896,

"Ban san abin da Musulmi za su ce ba idan sun ji labarun zamanin tsakiya da kuma fahimtar abin da masu wa'azin Kiristoci ke fada a cikin wakokinsu ba; dukkan wakokinmu, har ma wadanda suka bayyana kafin karni na 12, sun fito ne daga tunani guda daya, wanda shi ne sanadin yakin Salibiyya. Wadannan wakoki sun cika da kiyayya ga Musulmi saboda cikakken jahilci game da addinin su. Sakamakon wadannan wakoki da waka-wakoki, kiyayya ga wannan addini ta kafu a zukatan mutane, kuma kuskuren ra'ayoyi sun yi tushe sosai, wasu daga cikinsu har yanzu ana dauke da su a yau. Kowa yana kallon Musulmi a matsayin masu shirka, kafirai, masu bautar gumaka da masu ridda."

“I cannot imagine what the Muslims would say if they heard the tales of the mediaeval ages and understood what the Christian orators used to say in their hymns; all our hymns even those which emerged before the 12th century emanated from one concept which was the cause of the crusades, these hymns were filled with hatred towards the Muslims due to the total ignorance of their religion. As a result of those hymns and songs, hatred against that religion became fixed in people’s minds, and the erroneous ideas deeply rooted, some of which are still carried nowadays. Everyone used to regard the Muslims as polytheists, disbelievers, idol worshippers and apostates.”.

Yadda malaman Kiristoci a Turai suka bayyana Musulmai da addinin su tun zamanin tsakiya abin ban tsoro ne, kuma an yi amfani da wadannan zarge-zarge wajen tada zukatan ƙiyayya da adawa ga Musulmai.

This is how the Christian clergy in Europe described the Muslims and their Deen. The allegations in the mediaeval ages were horrible and these were used to incite the feelings of hatred and animosity against the Muslims. The Christian world became affected and the crusader wars took place. After lasting two centuries resulting in the defeat and the humiliation of the Christians, the Muslims began to reconquer the West in the 15th century when the Islamic State entered Constantinople. Then in the 16th century the Muslims swept across southern and eastern Europe and carried Islam to its peoples. Millions of the inhabitants of Albania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and other countries embraced Islam in the process. Once again the crusader animosity was revived and the Orientalist concept emerged, which was concerned at the time with resisting the Muslim armies, halting the Islamic conquest and lessening the threat of the Muslims.

Wannan ƙiyayya mai tushe a zukata da tunanin Turawa ta sa dukkan Kiristoci a Turai suka aika da masu wa'azinsu zuwa ƙasar Musulmi da sunan ilimi da wayewa. Ayyukan wa'azin sun ɗauki sifar makarantu, asibitoci, ƙungiyoyi da kulake. Turawa sun ware kusan wadatattun albarkatu da manyan ƙoƙari ga aikin wa'azin.

Al'umma da ƙasashe sun haɗu a bayan wannan ƙoƙarin na wa'azi tun da jakadunsu, wakilansu, da masu wa'azinsu ne suke gudanar da shi.

This deeply rooted animosity in the minds and hearts of the Europeans prompted all Christians in Europe to send their missionaries to the Muslim land in the name of science and culture. The missions took the shape of schools, clinics, associations and clubs. The Europeans devoted almost unlimited resources and huge efforts to the missionary work. They combined their efforts and methodology despite their differences in policy and interests. People and states were united behind the missionary effort since it was conducted by their consuls, ambassadors, delegates and missionaries.

Ƙiyayyar Crusade da Yammacin duniya ke ɗauke da ita, musamman a Turai, kuma fiye da kowa a Birtaniya, da kuma tsananin ƙiyayyarsu da mugun ƙeta, su ne sanadin wulaƙancinmu a ƙarshe a ƙasarmu. Janar Allenby ya ce a shekarar 1917 lokacin da ya shiga Al-Quds:

The crusader hatred harbored by the Westerners, especially in Europe and more so by Britain, and their deeply rooted animosity and wicked malice were the cause of our eventual humiliation in our homeland. General Allenby said in 1917 when he entered al-Quds,

"A yau kawai yakin Crusades (Salibiyya) ya ƙare."

“Only today the crusades have ended.”.

Wannan kawai bayyana gaskiyar abin da yake ji ne. Yana nuna ƙiyayya da kishi da yake ɗauke da su, kuma haka za a iya faɗa game da kowane Bature da ya yi yaƙi a fagen yaƙe-yaƙe, na al'adu da na soja, da Musulmi, kuma Allah (SWT) ya ce,

This was simply a genuine expression of what he really felt. It reflected the hatred and malice he harbored and the same could be said about every European that fought in the battles - cultural and military - against the Muslims, and Allah (swt) says,

"Ƙiyayya ta riga ta bayyana daga bakunansu, abin da ƙirjinsu ke ɓoyewa kuwa ya fi muni." [Al-'Imran 3:118]

“Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, what their breasts conceal is far worse.” [Al-’Imran 3:118].

Abin da Allenby ya faɗa ya kasance mafi muni, kuma abin da ƙasarsa, Birtaniya, ta ɓoye ya fi haka girma babu shakka; wannan ba ya buƙatar bayani ga kowane Bature.

What Allenby said was indeed most loathsome, and what his country, Britain, harbored was even greater without a doubt; this goes without saying for every European.

Wannan ƙiyayya da kishin juna ya wanzu tun zamanin Yaƙin Salibiyya, kuma har yanzu ana ci gaba da yada ta a yau. Abin da muke fuskanta na zalunci, wulakanci, mulkin mallaka da cin zarafi - baya ga bangaren siyasa - a zahiri ramuwa ce mai tsanani da aka yi wa Musulmai. Lallai wannan abu ya keɓanta ga Musulmai.

This malice and hatred has existed ever since the days of the crusades and it is still perpetuated today. What we face in terms of oppression, humiliation, colonization and exploitation - in addition to the political aspect - is in fact an act of brutal revenge on the Muslims. Indeed it is particular to the Muslims.

Leopold Weiss ya rubuta a cikin littafinsa Islam at the Crossroads,

Leopold Weiss wrote in his book Islam at the Crossroads,

“Verily the renaissance, or the revival of science and European arts which owed a great deal to Islamic and Arabic sources, used to be attributed to the material contact between East and West. Europe has indeed benefited a great deal from the Islamic world, but she never acknowledged or recognized this favor, nor did she show any gratitude by easing her hatred to Islam, in fact this hatred grew stronger and deeper over the years and at times reached uncontrollable proportions. This hatred engulfed the popular feeling and was triggered each time the word Muslim was mentioned. The hatred became a part of their popular heritage until it took root in the heart and mind of every European man and woman, and more astonishing though was that it remained alive even after all the stages of cultural change that took place. Then came the era of religious reform, when Europe became divided into sects, and each sect stood in the face of other sects, armed to the teeth, ready for battle; however, animosity towards Islam remained the same within every sect. Soon after, a time came when religious fervor diminished but the hatred of Islam remained as strong as ever, a clear example of this was delivered by the French philosopher and poet Voltaire, although he was an arch enemy of Christianity and the Church in the 18th century, he also was at the same time expressing his feelings of hatred and arrogance towards Islam and the Messenger of Islam; after a few decades, there came a time when the Western intellectuals began exploring foreign cultures and looked upon them with some kind of sympathy and openmindedness, however when it came to Islam, the traditional disdain began infiltrating their scientific researches in an extraordinary factional way; and the wide gap which history dug up between Europe and the Islamic world remained unbridged, then the contempt for Islam became an integral part of the European mentality.”.

A kan wannan asasi ne aka kafa ƙungiyoyin mishan da aka ambata a sama. Manufarsu ita ce yada addinin Kiristanci da kuma tayar da shakku a zukatan Musulmi game da addininsu, ta yadda za su ƙi shi a cikin zukatansu, su kuma ɗora gazawarsu a kansa.

It was on this basis that the missionary associations mentioned above were established. Their aim was to preach the Christian religion and to arouse suspicions in the Muslims about their Deen, thereby leading them to hold it in disdain within their hearts and to blame their own failures on it.

A gefe guda kuma, manufar ƙungiyoyin nan ta kasance ta siyasa, kuma sakamakon da suka haifar ya kasance mummuna sosai ta bangarori biyu, har ya kai ga abin da ba a zata ba. Ƙungiyoyin wa'azi na mishan an kafa su ne bisa manufar shafe Musulunci ta hanyar bata masa suna, da haifar da matsaloli da shakku game da shi da game da dokokinsa, domin su shiga tsakanin mutane da tafarkin Allah (SWT), kuma su raba Musulmai da addininsu. Bayan waɗannan ƙungiyoyin wa'azi na mishan sai ga ƙungiyoyin masu nazarin Gabas (Orientalists), waɗanda suke da manufa iri ɗaya da makasudi iri ɗaya.

On the other hand, the aim of the associations was also political and the consequences were in fact horrendous on both accounts until they reached unexpected proportions. The missionary movements were founded on the basis of wiping out Islam by libeling it, by creating problems and misgivings about it and about its rules, in order to come between the people and the way of Allah (swt), and to alienate Muslims from their Deen. Behind these missionary movements came the Orientalist movements who had the same target and the very same objective.

A dusar da kokari da albarkatu a duk fadin Turai, aka sake yakin Crusade a kan Musulunci a karo na biyu; wannan karon yaki ne na al'adu, wanda ya guba zuciya da abin da suka karkatar daga dokokin Musulunci da manyan dabi'unsa, da guba ga zukatan matasan Musulmi da abin da suke zargi game da Musulunci da tarihin Musulmai da sunan binciken kimiyya da adalci na kimiyya.

Kamar yadda Weiss ya bayyana,

Efforts and resources were unified throughout the whole of Europe and a crusade was waged against Islam for the second time; this time it was a cultural war which poisoned the mind by what they had distorted from the Islamic laws and Islam’s high values, the poisoning of the young Muslim minds by what they alleged about Islam and the history of the Muslims in the name of scientific research and scientific fairness. It was in reality the cultural venom which was far more dangerous than the crusader wars. The missionaries carried out the spreading of their poisonous filth in the name of science and humanity. They used to do it in the name of Orientalism. As Weiss stated,

Gaskiya ita ce cewa masana Orientalism na farko a zamani su ne mishaneri na Kiristanci da ke aiki a ƙasashen Musulmi. Hoton karkatacce da suka ƙirƙira, wanda ake zargin an samo shi daga koyarwar Musulunci da tarihinsa, an tsara shi da ƙwarewa don tabbatar da martani mara kyau da kuma yin tasiri ga ra'ayin Turai game da masu bautar gumaka, watau Musulmai.

Game da ƙiyayyar Orientalists ga Musulunci kuwa, wannan wani ɗabi'a ce da aka gada, kuma halin halitta da ya samo asali daga tasirin yaƙe-yaƙen Crusaders.

“The reality is that the first Orientalist of modern times were Christian missionaries working in the Muslim countries, the distorted picture they fabricated allegedly from Islamic teachings and history was expertly designed to guarantee a negative reaction and influence the European opinion towards the idol worshippers, i.e. the Muslims; however this twisted concept continued despite the fact that Orientalist studies had been liberated from the missionary influence, stripping the Orientalism from any religious and ignorant fervor that would misguide it. As for the Orientalist’ hostility to Islam, this was an inherited instinct and a natural characteristic derived from the effects of the crusader wars.”.

This inherited animosity is the one that supports the hatred in the hearts of Westerners against the Muslims. It is the one that portrays Islam, even in Muslim countries, to Muslims and non-Muslims as being the bogeyman, or this demon which would destroy the progress of humanity. This is in fact to conceal their real fear of Islam, for they know that if Islam were deeply implanted in the hearts and minds of the people it would signal the end of the hegemony of the disbelieving colonial powers over the Islamic world and the return of the Islamic State to once again resume the carrying of the Message of Islam to the world - and indeed it will return Insha’Allah - for the sake of humanity and the West itself. The work of the missionaries would eventually turn into grief and sorrow for them; Allah (swt) says,

Lalle waɗanda suka kafirta suna ciyar da dukiyarsu don su hana (mutane) bin hanyar Allah. Za su ci gaba da ciyarwa, amma a ƙarshe zai zama nadama a gare su. [Suratul Anfal, 8:36].

“Verily, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder (people) from the path of Allah, and so will they continue to spend it; but in the end it will become an anguish for them.” [Al-Anfal, 8:36].

Ƙiyayyar da aka gada ita ce wadda ke goyon bayan duk wani motsi na adawa da Musulunci. Za ka ga malamin yammacin duniya yana bincike kan Daoism, Hindu, Buddha, ko Kwaminisanci ba tare da wata ƙiyayya ko son zuciya ba.

Duk wannan don ramako ne, da kuma ƙarfafa riƙon turawan mulkin mallaka.

The inherited animosity is the one that supports any anti-Islamic movement. You will find the Western scholar researching Taoism, Hinduism, Buddhism, or Communism without any hatred or prejudice at all. Whereas, if he were to research Islam malice, hatred, and contempt would soon appear despite the fact that Muslims were defeated by the colonial disbelievers. The Western clergy, backed by the colonialists, still actively conspire against Islam and they will never abate from libeling Islam and the Muslims and from degrading Muhammad (pbuh) and his Companions, or from injecting slander into the history of Islam and of the Muslims. All this is to get their revenge and to strengthen the hold of the colonialists.
