Why is Islam spreading so fast? (Islam FAQs | Muslims as Observed by Critics)
Three main policies responsible for the rapid spread of Islam:
Historical
Truth: From the perspective of world history, after the birth of religion, its
spreading process is gradual, and generally speaking, it takes at least several
thousand years for a religion to spread. The two most typical religions in the
world, the Buddhists, This is the case with Christianity.
After it
was born, it spread for thousands of years. And it is only partial,
Christianity is in Europe, Buddhism is in East Asia, Southeast Asia, etc. But
the only exception to this is Islam. Islam is the world’s most recent religion
that has spread the fastest, and so far it has spread rapidly.
What many people don’t understand is that the teachings of Islam are similar to, or even worse than, other religions, but why is it spreading the fastest? In fact, it mainly depends on three policies.
Islam was
founded by Mohammed, and Mohammed has basically read no books and is
illiterate.
So we can
see that the teachings of Islam are the roughest and there are many
contradictions. Even the majority of the Qur’an comes from Judaism and even
Christianity.
Therefore,
Islam does not have obvious advantages in terms of content. However, after the
emergence of Islam, it spread fastest, from the entire Arabian Peninsula, to
the entire Middle East, to North Africa, to Africa, to Southeast Asia, to South
Asia, etc. Spread quickly.
Now even
directly into Europe, occupying Christianity, Europe has begun to Muslim. So
far, there are more than 50 Muslim countries in the world, with a Muslim
population of more than 2 billion, and they are still expanding rapidly.
Therefore,
Islam is the fastest spreading religion in the world. There is no religion like
this. In the future, Islam will even occupy Europe.
Many
people don’t understand this. What does Islam depend on? Why is it spreading
fastest? In fact, it mainly depends on three points.
I. The tax system in Islam
Islam
originated in the deserted Arabian peninsula. This peninsula is mostly desert.
However, Islam spread quickly to the Middle East and North Africa during the
Arab Empire, and it only took more than a hundred years.
Let the
people in Middle East and North Africa completely convert to Islam, and even
the Persian civilization was directly included. And the biggest reason for such
a huge result is actually the tax system.
Every time
the Arabs conquered a place, they adopted a tax system to force the people to
convert to Islam. That is, different tax rates are set, and the principle of
less taxation for Islam and multiple taxation for pagans is directly stimulated
by non-Muslims.
Because if
you don’t convert to Islam, you must pay several times your property, which is
undoubtedly unbearable. This makes people quickly convert to Islam. This policy
can be said to be very effective.
II. Encouragement of Fertility in Islam
In
addition to taxation policies, Islam has strongly encouraged fertility from the
beginning in order to grow and expand itself, in order to encourage fertility.
In Islamic
teachings, it is directly stipulated that each woman has 8 children. And to
this end, a polygamy system has also been developed, which makes women a tool
for fertility and a large number of births.
This
measure allowed the Muslim population in the Middle East to skyrocket rapidly.
Under the skyrocketing population, they quickly occupied North Africa, preached
around the world, went to Southeast Asia, South Asia, and so on.
So the
reason why Islam spreads so fast is directly related to encouraging fertility.
This policy is also the key to the rapid spread of Islam. The Muslimization of
Europe as a whole is caused by the strong fertility of Muslims.
III. The Interior is Closed in Islam (Purdah System)
In other
religions, believers and non-believers, they are free to change and fully
reflect openness. Therefore, both Christianity and Buddhism are difficult to
grow.
In the
beginning, Islam established a closed system, that is, once it entered Islam,
it could not leave anyway, that is, once it was converted, it could not be
abandoned.
Otherwise
it’s betrayal, it’s apostasy, it’s heresy, then other Muslims have to jihad to
kill you.
This
actually makes Islam a closed religion, and the scale of religion will not
decrease. There is no one who converts to Islam and dares to betray, because
once the holy war is pursued, it will destroy the family.
This also makes it impossible for Islamists to be lost, which is an important reason for its continued growth.
Therefore, even if Islam goes to Europe, it is a closed
and independent whole, and no one wants to disintegrate Islam, which is also an
important reason for its rapid spread.
It is
because of these three policies that Islam has become the world’s fastest
spreading religion, and no one has surpassed it.
How did
Islam spread rapidly in China? The truth is very simple and simple
Tips: In today’s freedom of religious belief, it is necessary to prevent “forced” in the process of religious belief, guard against abuse of power to promote religion, and also to return religious people to normalcy. Religion is religion. It has nothing to do with politics, power, and status in a secular society. It cannot mean that having a role in religion means that you have achieved certain achievements in the secular society, and then seek certain positions to show your skills.
At the same time, multiple choice venues and environments
should be provided for believers. This is an experience left over from history
and should be the same for any religion, not just for Islam.
Christianity,
Islam, and Buddhism are also known as the three major religions in the world.
The reason why these three religions can become the top three is currently the
only three religions in the world that are listed as national religions in some
countries, such as Christianity in some countries in Europe and America, Islam
in some countries in Central Asia, West Asia, and North Africa. Buddhism is
classified as the state religion in some Southeast Asian countries.
In terms of the number of believers, among the three major religions, Christianity is the largest, Islam is second, and Buddhism is the last. According to comprehensive information, as of 2016, there were approximately 2.46 billion registered Christians.
As of the end of 2009, of the world’s population of approximately 6.8 billion, the total number of Muslims was 1.57 billion, distributed in 204 countries and regions, accounting for 23% of the world.
According
to the 1991 British Encyclopedia Yearbook, there were nearly 400 million
Buddhists worldwide in the early 1990s.
As far as time is concerned, Buddhism has been passed down to Gautama Siddhartha, the prince of the ancient Indian state of Gabiro (now in Nepal) in the 6th to 5th centuries BC.
Christianity originated from the Jewish society in the Palestinian area in the first century AD.
Islam Teaching first emerged on the
Arabian Peninsula in the seventh century AD by Mecca Mohammed.
It is easy to understand things with simple truths. Although the numbers are different and their origins come sooner or later, believers in all religions are equal.
Compassion, fraternity, and peace are the true meanings of the three religions, and they are also the common goal of all religions.
How did Islam spread widely and became one of the 3 major religions?
Let’s take the spread of Islam in China as an example.
Islam, China was formerly known as the Great Food Law, Great Food Education, Celestial Sect, Halal, Islam, Islam, Islam, etc., and was introduced to China from Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places from the Arab in 651 (second year of the Yong Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty).
According to Chinese historical books “Old Tang Book” and “Book House Yuan Turtle”, this year the third Islamic caliph Ottoman (reigned 644-656) sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty capital Chang’an, where he met Tang Gaozong and introduced Islamic teachings
The process of
reunification with the Arab countries. This is the first time that the Arab
Empire has officially sent a diplomatic mission to China, and it has had a
significant impact on the extensive political, economic, and cultural exchanges
between China and Afghanistan, as well as the coming of Muslim businessmen.
This year began as the introduction of Islam into China.
After that, the transmission route was carried out on the sea and land at the same time. The sea was dominated by merchants, mainly concentrated in coastal port cities, such as Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou and other places. In addition to merchants on the land, there were also soldiers.
In addition to commercial centers along the traffic, Changan, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and Luoyang, an inland city, are places where Muslim merchants and soldiers gather.
For example, “Zhi Zhi Tong Jian” Volume 232 records: “Hu Hu has stayed
in Chang’an for a long time or for more than 40 years, all have wives, buy field
houses, benefit from quality, and do not want to return after security.”
However, this spread was quite slow. As far as China is concerned, Islam, which is mainly propagated by force, has not been able to spread eastward because the Arab army was blocked by Tang forces and Turks.
After the collapse of the Arab
forces, a Samanid dynasty who believed in Islam appeared in Central Asia. The
“jihad” against the Karahan dynasty was repeatedly frustrated, which also
delayed the spread of Islam to China to a certain extent. But it was the
Karahan dynasty that brought Islam to China.
At the beginning of the 10th century, the Samanid ruling clique was infighting. The Samanid prince, Abu Nasser Samani, failed in the infighting, fled from the river region to the Karahan dynasty, and was subject to the Karahan dynasty Oglyakak. She was sheltered in Khan and was residing in Atush, China.
Under the persuasion of this person, Satuk, the prince of the Karahan dynasty, was developed into a “secret Muslim”.
In 915, Saturk launched a coup and seized the position of Khan. He claimed to be Sultan Saturk Bogra Khan, declared Islam as the state religion, and promoted Islam in the country.
In addition, according
to the Persian Islamic State model, the establishment of Islamic sharia rule,
the establishment of bureaucratic teams and management institutions, and the
establishment of religious courts, religious leaders enjoy an important
position in the country’s political life, the ranks of religious scholars are
expanding, and the monastic economy has developed greatly.
After Satuk’s death, his son Moussa (Bayitas) succeeded him, and he was called Arslan Khan and was based in Kashgar. Soon, Moussa achieved Islamization of the dynasty.
In 960, Islam was declared the state religion, and 200,000 Turkic
people joined the religion. Since then, the history of the first
Turkic-speaking Islamic dynasty has officially begun.
Later, the Karahan dynasty, which was strongly supported by Muslims in West Asia, began a jihad against the Yu Kingdom in the east, which ended in the destruction of Yuhan in 1006 and the victory of Karahan.
This war lasted for decades.
Historically, the Karahan war was also the first “golden age” when Islam was
introduced into China.
The second “golden age” At the beginning of the 14th century, the Mongolian Chagatai Khanate was inseparable from one person-Balheru Timur Khan, and the first Chahatai Khanate in the east was the first Khan, the earliest Mongolian nobles who believe in Islam. According to the “History of the Lost Virtues in Central Asia”, Balheru Timur once hunted in Aksu, and accidentally met with Islam Sheikh Dzhemarudin at that time, accepted his secret mission, and expressed his willingness to return.
He had Belief in Islam, but promises must be announced only after gaining ruling power. Later, he obtained the position of Khan, and officially announced his belief in Islam in about 1354.
He convinced his prince
and minister to convert to Islam, and ordered his subjects to change their
sects. If they violated, they would be sentenced to death.
At that
time, about 160,000 Mongols collectively swore to convert to Islam. The
descendants of Tuhelu Timur have spread the Islam vigorously during the 300
years of ruling China, conquered Turpan and Hami successively, defeated the
forces of Buddhism, and established the dominance of Islam in China.
Through these two “golden ages”, it can not be seen that during the spread of Islam, first of all, they obtained the “Khan” faith and let them convert to Islam, and then “command” through the power in the hands of the “Khan” The method is promoted, and the method of force expansion is adopted externally, and internally, if there is disobedience, the death penalty is imposed.
Of course, it is not enough to rely on such hard and compulsory measures.
For example, it
is obviously simpler to use internal execution only. As a result, “sweat” as
communicators thought of some auxiliary means, mainly “taxation”.
As early as the Arab Empire, three different tax rates were set. For Muslims of the Arab nation, the tax rate is basically the lowest, which is basically the lowest tax rate.
For Muslims of other ethnic groups who convert to Islam, the tax rate is
set very low. People who accept Islam and do not convert to Islam will be taxed
ten times. “Khan” as a communicator has followed this practice without
exception.
It is also important to exclude Islam, that is, to make its internal people have no choice in religion, and to make Islam unique.
For example, before Islam was introduced
into China, China was a country of thousands of miles of Buddhism, but after
Islam was introduced, those Buddhist sites were also completely destroyed.
Therefore, in today’s freedom of religious belief, it is necessary to prevent “forced push” in the process of religious belief, guard against abuse of power to promote religion, and return religious people to normalcy.
Religion is
religion. It has nothing to do with politics, power, and status in a secular
society. It cannot mean that having a role in religion means that you have
achieved certain achievements in the secular society, and then seek certain
positions to show your skills.
As at the
same time, multiple choice venues and environments should be provided for
believers. This is an experience left over from history and should be the same
for any religion, not just for Islam.
What is the Origin of Islam?
Among the three major religions in the world, Buddhism and Christianity have appeared much earlier than Islam.
Buddhism appeared in the sixth century BC,
Christianity appeared in the first century, and Islam did not appear until the
seventh century, before it began to spread. And the founder of Islam is also a
trinity of Pope, political and military leaders, so Islam is very different
from the other two religions
Muhammad
founded Islam in Mecca in 610, and the first year of the Islamic calendar is
622. It was because in 622 Muhammad began to “unify politics with religion” in
Medina, preaching with blood and fire.
Islamic
teachings take the Qur’an and the Sunnah as the core, and set out life
guidelines and ideological standards of little detail.
Note 1: About Jerusalem WRT Islam
Jerusalem
is now the Holy Land of the Three Religions, but there is no doubt that it is
first of all the Holy Land of Judaism.
The origin of Christianity is Judaism, the Old Testament of the Bible describes the life of Jews, and the founders of Christianity are also Jews. Islam appeared more than 600 years after Christianity.
According to statistics, about 70% of the content of the Qur’an is similar to that of the Old Testament. However, Muhammad’s mission in Mecca was not successful.
The mode turned to the military
conquest mode of the integration of state and church, and only then began the
expansion of Islam’s blood and fire for 1,400 years.
Note 2: Destruction of Buddhism in India WRT Islam
The decline of Buddhism in India is a long process, and the invasion of the Islamic army in the 11th century gave Buddhists a fatal blow. The Islamic army carried out large-scale destruction and plunder of Buddhist monasteries, and a large number of Buddhists were killed or forced to change their beliefs.
Nalanda Temple is the second largest temple in India with millions of books and was burned down by the Islamic army in 1193.
The host of Nalanda Temple is Master Jiexian, also the master of Xuan Zang. In 1203, the Mahayana Buddhist Center Chaojie Temple was burned down by the Islamic army, marking the complete destruction of Buddhism in India.
Modern scholars have discovered the huge
ruins of Chaojie Temple in Paragong, India’s Biha Province, according to the
records in Xuanzang’s “The Great Tang Dynasty”.
What are the Basic Islamic Concepts?
What is Islamic Islam? Islam means obedience in Arabic and is a monotheistic religion taught in the Qur’an and Hadith (Muhammad’s words and deeds). In terms of content, the Qur’an accounts for approximately 1/7, and the Sunnah accounts for approximately 6/7.
The Sunnah is easier to spread and imitate in the form of
stories and dialogues, to understand the behavior of believers, and to pay more
attention to the Sunnah. Believers believe that Islam is the ultimate answer to
humankind, and no other religion should exist after that. The establishment of
Caliphate, a caliphate empire in which all humankind believes in Islam, is the
supreme life goal of Islam for the followers.
Who is Allah?
Allah is the only true God of Islam. Muslims believe in Allah who is unique
and unparalleled, and believe that the sole purpose of life is to worship
Allah.
Who is Prophet Muhammad?
Muhammad claimed to be the messenger of Allah and the founder and
prophet of Islam.
Who is a Muslim?
Muslims are believers in Islam. There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, accounting for about 25% of the global population, mainly in the Middle East, North Africa and Southeast Asia.
The behavior of Muslims is based on the
Qur’an and the template of the words and actions of the Prophet Muhammad.
Sunni Arabic means “road” and can be called orthodox. Sunnis account for about 90% of the total Muslim population in the world. Most Muslims in China are Sunni, and Xinjiang also has some Shiites.
Sunnis recognize only the first four
generations of caliphs and believe that qualified people should be elected as
Muslim leaders later.
Shia Arabic means “followers” and can be called legalists, especially the followers of the fourth largest caliph Ali. Shiite-majority countries include Iran, Iraq, Bahrain and Azerbaijan.
Shiites believe that only Ali (Ali is Muhammad’s cousin
and son-in-law and Muhammad has only one daughter, Fatima) and his descendants
are eligible to serve as Muslim leaders.
What are Islamic countries?
There are Islamic countries declared to be Islamic i.e. fully abiding Islam as their constitution, such as Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Muslim
country means a country where Muslims make up the vast majority of the
population. Indonesia is the country with the most Muslims in the world, with
about 200 million.
Countries
such as Egypt, Syria, and Iraq are Arab and Muslim countries, but they are not
Islamic countries but secular countries.
Iran is an
Islamic country. But Iranians, not Arabs, they are Persians.
Turkey is a Muslim country and a secular country.
In the
concept of Islam, it is important to understand Kafir.
The core of Kafyl’s definition is “know but do not believe,” meaning people who know Islam but do not believe in Islam. The logic is this. I firmly believe that Islam is the truth.
If you do not believe in Islam, you do not believe in the truth.
Who is a kafir in Islam?
Kafir refers to everyone who denies Islam as truth. In the eyes of the
Christians, Kafil was dirty, destined to have only one end, that is, to go to
hell after death. No need to explain, just read the Qur’an.
Those who
disbelieve and deny signs of me are residents of Hell who will live in them
forever (2:36)
Martyrs,
Jews, Sabi, Christians, who believe in Allah and the Last Days and do good,
will enjoy their reward with the Lord in the future, and they will have no fear
or sorrow in the future. (2:64)
Know that
Allah is hostile to disbelievers (2:98)
They will
live in fire prison forever, without remission or grace. (2: 162)
Fight
against them until the persecution is eliminated and all religions belong to
Allah (8:39)
For
Christianity, Judaism, and Fire worshippers, the term “man with scriptures” is
used in Islamic teachings. Their status is slightly higher than that of Kafil,
and they can obtain lower status by paying taxes.
The first grade of the Islamic college set up in the United States is like this:
- Religions other than ____ are false.
- People other than Islam enter ____ after death.
The answer
to the first question is “Islam” and the answer to the second question is
“Hell”.
What are the Characteristics of Islam?
I. Teach before the country
In
history, Islam was first established before the founding of the nation, and
then there was a religion before an Islamic state.
For the
Islamic world, the concepts of nationality and nation under modern social order
are not as important as religion. For example, the borderline is something that
doesn’t have much sense of identity in their thinking.
So as soon
as ISIS called, devout believers from all over the world ran away.
ISIS has
been defeated as a quasi-religious regime, and foreign Muslim militants who
have not yet had time to return are back to their respective countries.
II. Islam is easy to learn
The mode of operation of Islam, from material life to spiritual life, everything is set for you, there is no need to use brain thinking, it is very suitable for people of lower culture to get started quickly.
This simple but standardized ritual
(Halal, worship, fasting, pilgrimage) has created an extraordinary sense of
equality, and formed a strong appeal to the bottom of society through group
mutual assistance, social charity, and medical assistance. force.
In simple terms, the doctrine prescribes every aspect of the life of the believers such as eating, dressing, borrowing money, marriage, and loans, and even meticulous rules on how to go to the toilet and how to have sex.
State, Muslims have grown
up in such a closed environment since childhood.
Doctrine stipulates that they pray five times a day. All Muslims, regardless of rich or poor, or social status, wear the same robes, occupy the same place, and bow five times a day in the same posture and rhythm.
Five times a week, we still
need to focus on training. Through decades of brain stimulation, such as one
day, high-intensity conditioned reflexes will inevitably be formed.
Most people’s worldviews are formed when children and adolescents, and they are basically solidified by the age of 20, so it is difficult to adjust the acquired education.
Modern marketing agencies have a similar promotion plan, which is to implement simple and repeated brain stimulation through high-intensity training in a closed environment, assisted with many specific success stories, and eventually form a brain’s conditioned reflex mechanism.
Of
course, compared with Islam, such a commercial marketing plan is naturally
different from cloud mud.
III. Standardization
[Those are
clear classic verses, I have indeed shown this scripture to the Arabic Quran. ]
(Youssef Chapter: 1-2)
Islam doesn’t say fundamentalism. Because the teaching of Islam is that every word in the Qur’an must be fully implemented. It is forbidden to change any word, and any violation of any word can be regarded as apostasy.
So in theory even translation is forbidden, because translation cannot perfectly convey the original meaning of the Qur’an.
This strict prohibition of paraphrasing, translation and out of context guarantees that the Qur’an will not be misinterpreted.
In other words, believers around the world, whether moderate or
radical, read the same scripture.
More than that, the Qur’an is only allowed to be read in Arabic during the week, ensuring that the followers of the world read the standard Qur’an.
This is obviously
different from other religions, so Muslims all over the world speak the same
Qur’an. Believers in the scriptures naturally translate into a passion for
Arabic.
Frequent believers have spoken that ISIS is a betrayal of Islamic teachings. In fact, everyone reads the same scriptures. All believers believe that they are obeying the guidelines.
Whose interpretation will prevail and who is qualified to represent authentic Islam?
This is the dilemma and paradox of Islam.
For example, from the perspective of knowledge, the leader of ISIS Baghdadi is a Bachelor of Islamic Studies from the University of Baghdad, and a master and PhD from the University of Islamic Studies.
From a behavioral standpoint, Baghdadi has been passionate about religion since he was a child. For his lifelong duties, people around him called him “believer”.
From the point of view of descent, Baghdadi claimed to be a descendant of the Quresh tribe. This is the Arab tribe to which the Prophet Muhammad belongs.
Tens of thousands of
Muslims from hundreds of countries responded to Baghdadi’s call and volunteered
to go to the Middle East to fight for the caliphate.
Is such a Baghdadi qualified to speak for Islam?
Islam is
Islam.
IV. The closed system
Islam
appears in the form of religion and is a complete social organization,
including social systems, lifestyles, cultural forms, historical traditions,
and even the characteristics of the times.
For the
individual, the Qur’an and the Sunnah not only show the past and the future,
but also directly regulate all aspects of social life such as clothing, food,
deeds, behaviors, etc.
Islam as Political Platform
Common ideals-fight
for the way, spread Islam to the world, and enter paradise after death.
Equality-as
long as you are religious, you do n’t need to ask about your history, you do
n’t ask about your origin, you do n’t care about your color, and everyone is
equal. Muslims in the world are one.
Note:
Islamic teachings are full of discrimination. Discrimination against pagans and
discrimination against women, of course, do not produce equality.
Women are
considered accessories in the Islamic world. Men can legally scold women,
repeating three times can divorce their wives.
The war in
Syria, the Middle East, Syria, and Iraq has displaced a large number of
Muslims, but Muslim countries in the immediate vicinity refuse to accept any
Muslim refugees, but German Christians are enthusiastically accepting Muslim
refugees.
Of course,
those Muslims of hostile factions are more evil than Kafyl.
Enemy-all
unbelieving Kafeller.
Social
architecture
Legal
system: Islamic law based on the Qur’an and Sunnah
Civil
affairs system-mosques organize charity activities, relief for poor Muslims,
provide marriage services, etc.
Rectification
Movement-Regardless of rich or poor, status, fasting for one month each year,
during which entertainment and war are stopped
Tax
system-Zakat
Grassroots
fortress-mosque
Martyr
Instructor-Grandma
Personal
norms
Individual
meals-no pork, no alcohol
Personal
dress-according to the teaching method (scarf, etc.)
Personal
hygiene-no paper in the toilet, left-hand rule, etc.
Sexual
activity-slightly
Personal
Marriage-Must be Muslim
Personal
Belief-Severe Punishment of Apostate Reformers
Political
study: Pray five times a day, and grandma will preach and must go back to the
headquarters and train once in a lifetime
Through
meticulous behavioral norms, supplemented by long-term closed group activities,
believers will form unique living habits and form huge differences from other
non-Cults. The more painful and long the process, the stronger the group
identity.
Belgian
Muslims support Rohingya Muslims
Strong
sense of community in Muslims
A strong sense of identity within this group will strengthen the sense of alienation from other ethnic groups.
With the overall backwardness of the Islamic world
after the industrialization of mankind, this sense of alienation becomes
stronger, and the suffering of believers becomes more painful. The more painful
the psychology, the more it strengthens its faith.
This can also understand why the followers of modern university education still stop at the spiritual world of doctrine. The secret lies in closedness and repetition.
It is no exaggeration to say that the closedness and repetition of Islamic teachings have achieved the ultimate of various ideologies.
Once in this system,
it is extremely difficult to want to detach again, one is because it is
difficult to survive, and the other is because you need to keep a distance from
the past self.
In addition, its closed nature also leads to the opposition between the religious and the non-cult.
Since Islam is already perfect and the pagans are all
low-level and dirty, then Islam cannot draw nutrition from the outside world.
Learning from pagans is to betray. Most of the people of insight in history who
called for Islamic reform did not end well.
The closed nature of Islam can be exemplified by printing. The invention of printing technology has solved the problem of the rapid and low-cost dissemination of human knowledge, and has unparalleled revolutionary significance to the inheritance of human civilization and social progress.
In the middle of the fifteenth century, the German Gutenberg invented movable type printing, but it was rejected by the nearby Islamic world for 300 years because it was invented by pagans and could not be used to print the Qur’an.
Surgery was first used in
Turkey, and printing entered Egypt in 1798.
What is Singapore’s approach regarding Islam?
The
ultra-closed nature of the Muslim community is a huge challenge to the order of
the secular state. Look at how Lee Kuan Yew, a prominent contemporary
politician, deals with this issue.
Singapore is an urban country. Its special geographical environment is surrounded by Muslim nations.
The problem of ethnic groups is not handled well and it can easily cause great social unrest. Considering the lesson learned in 1964, the Singapore government mandated mixed living of different ethnic groups, including new immigrants and local citizens. 7
0% of Singaporeans live in cheap government HDB flats, and each group of HDB flats has a fixed percentage of all ethnic groups.
If the Chinese exceed, the resale cannot be sold to the Chinese, but only to the Malays or Indians, and so on.
In addition to compulsory
cohabitation, Singapore also promotes integration through compulsory bilingual
education (English + mother tongue), restrictions on students of all ethnic
groups in public schools, and organized community grassroots activities.
Another important point is that the way Singapore protects the interests of minorities is not to grant privileges or subsidies, but to provide opportunities for fair competition, “whoever works hard has food.”
These ethnic policies have been
implemented for decades, and they are mutually beneficial and effective.
This is in stark contrast to neighboring Malaysia. Article 3 of the Malay Constitution stipulates that Islam is the federal religion of Malaysia, and Article 153 stipulates the privileges of the Malay indigenous people (Muslims).
By
understanding the connotation of Islam, we can understand the situation of
Malaysian Chinese as pagans in Muslim countries.
What is Sharia?
Sharia law
is a complete legal system in the true sense. This is a fundamental difference
between Islam, Christianity, Buddhism and other religions, and it is a key
feature that reflects its “integration of politics and religion”:
1. The basic code of Islamic teachings is the Qur’an and the Sunnah, the Qur’an is the principle, the Sunnah is the rules, and the Qur’an and the Sunnah are above all else.
Islamic jurisprudence, philosophy, ethics, literature, etc. are all built
on the basis of the Qur’an and Hadith.
2. According to Shariah theory, only the unique Allah has legislative power, and a government composed of people does not have legislative power. Therefore, the only code of sharia is the Qur’an. In areas not covered by the Qur’an, supplementary provisions are made by jurists based on the principles of the Qur’an through analogy, deduction, and public consultation. This resulted in many different schools of law.
From the broad aspect, it can be divided into
Sunni teachings and Shia teachings; Sunnis are also divided into four major
schools of sharia.
3. The content of Islamic law includes religious law, administrative law, procedural law, criminal law, civil law, commercial law, and so on.
It is all-inclusive, and has thoroughly discussed and stipulated all aspects that may be involved in human life, and even many things that are impossible in life are pre-defined by hypothetical problems.
For example, as early as the 8th century AD, the famous
jurist Abhanifa of the Hanafi School of Jurisprudence made regulations on how
to declare customs when flying into Mecca.
4. Obeying the sharia is a Muslim’s religious obligation. A devout Muslim must use sharia as the only code of conduct that he observes.
The schools of sharia recognize
that if a Muslim refuses to abide by the sharia, such behavior should be
considered apostasy. Such Muslims should be punished, imprisoned and even
executed. This shows the importance of sharia to Muslims.
Take the gentle “Waigaye Scripture” as an example to understand Islamic law.
The entire
book of the Wei Gaye Sect is divided into 14 chapters. Let’s take a look at
chapter 11 of the expedition chapter and chapter 12 of the apostasy chapter.
What provisions does it make.
What is Islamic Jihad?
Chapter
Eleven Chapter. This chapter deals with Islamic Jihad.
In the sharia, the jihad against pagans is clear, and the expedition chapter can be described as the beginning of the statement:
“The expedition is to pay destiny. In the early stage of fighting against the enemy, as long as some Muslims expedite, others take off their responsibilities. If no one expedites, the whole crime.
In other words, Muslims must remain at war with non-Muslims. This
is the order of Allah and cannot be excused for any reason. Not every Muslim
has to fight, but no one is allowed to fight against non-Muslims.
What if
Muslims live in non-Islamic countries and “enemies” (non-Muslims) have an
advantage? The “Waigaye Shariah” states that: “The enemies do not obey the
sharia, all their rights, and the wealthy are unprotected. When they are unable
to subdue them, they are temporarily subject to their rules.”
This has two meanings. On the one hand, if Muslims are dominant, as long as non-Muslims have not surrendered, then for Muslims: “All their rights and belongings are not protected.” Muslims can do anything to them and is allowed.
On the other hand,
when Muslims are at a disadvantage, as long as it is conducive to the expansion
and spread of Islam, any concession, deception, or even surrender is allowed.
Regarding the end of the war, the expedition chapter states: “If we surround the enemy, call them to believe.
If you have been taught to treat them kindly, if you are not willing to do so, destroy or expel them, or negotiate. That is to say, non-Muslims have only two options before Muslim attacks: either convert to Islam or pay personal taxes.
If neither is willing, then only destruction or
expulsion is possible.
The Dante tax is not payable by anyone. The “Wegayaya Law” states: “The human tax is not sympathy for the rebels, but only punishes them for insisting on rebellion.
If they are taught, they can be forgiven without paying taxes, or ‘until they hand over the population tax in humbly’. Taxation or death is the only reason for the taxation.
“In other words, taxation is an institutionalized insult to
Judaism, Christianity, and worshippers.
Chapter
12. Apostasy Chapter This chapter is about the punishment of Islam to the
original Muslims who give up the Islamic faith. This can be used to judge
whether Islam really “tolerates” people of different faiths.
Islam clearly stipulates that Muslims must not abandon their Islamic beliefs, otherwise they are “apostasy”, which is an insult to Islam. Therefore, such people must be punished. Muhammad said, “Whoever betrays his religion, you must kill him.”
The “Weigaye Law” uses a whole chapter to stipulate this. There are
5 types of apostasy: as long as one of them is met, you can view it “Apostasy.”
In addition, belief in magic, use of magic, and joining non-Muslim camps in
“jihad” are also apostasy.
The apostasy rule states that if a person is apostate, then he will be detained for 3 days.
During these three days, if he changes his mind, he can avoid death and
see the aftereffects. But if he insists on apostasy, he must be executed. All
property was confiscated. It is worth mentioning that the apostasy chapter
specifically stated that the concept of “apostasy” also applies to minors, but
does not apply the death penalty in punishment, but “hits and confines and
compels him to teach.”
Special reminder that the “Wagayah” is not a Saudi Wahhabi sect, but is a modest Hanafi sect. Secondly, the “Wagayah” is now in China and many countries in the world.
Teaching materials used by Muslims. In other words, it reflects the attitudes of Islamists towards pagans, not only “historical” but also “now”. Just today, Muslims in many countries are being taught how to treat non-Muslims by the contents of the Wyagayah.
To sum up, the core of Islam is expansion, and expansion is both a means and a goal. Through a simple, closed, and repetitive training model, the banner of a mass movement that promotes equality among all believers, and the beautiful vision of promoting jihad to eliminate pagans into heaven, will achieve a high degree of religious, political, and military unity.
In the cold weapon era, Islam was
able to form powerful mass organizations and military forces, and was well
adapted to the development level of nomads and primitive tribes.
This can understand why Islam has developed rapidly in Africa and Southeast Asia, and has been strongly resisted in Persia, India, Europe, China and other places, because these places were in the axis era (800 BC to 200 BC).
Long before Islam
appeared, Socrates, Plato, Jewish prophets, Buddha, Confucius, Lao Tzu and
other sages were born, and society has developed a high-level civilization.
How Islam Expanded?
Expansion of Islam Religion: Islamic doctrine divides the nations of the world into two types:
- The area where Sharia law is practiced is “Azra Islam” (Islamic State)
- The area where Sharia law is not practiced is “Azra Harib” (enemy).
With regard to the latter, the Qur’an clearly states that Muslims must attack it, seize its power, and transform it into a country governed by Sharia.
This is one of the religious obligations of Muslims explicitly listed in the Qur’an:
“People who do not believe in Allah and Doomsday, who do not follow the commandments of Allah and angels, and who do not follow its teachings, i.e. those who have been subjected to the Bible, To fight until they pay their dues properly. “(9:29)
Protestants in Britain to promote Islam to all mankind
So we see that the conflict between Islam and the secular world is universal, which is determined by its expansive doctrine.
If you have a conflict with a neighbor,
it may be your own problem, or it may be the other’s problem, but if you ca
n’t get along with all your neighbors, who should be the problem?
Now that it has reached the post-industrial revolution stage, the Islamic world obviously lags behind the secular world in all aspects, but it must be fought directly, but what should Muslims do?
Islamic doctrine clearly stipulates that when they are not sure that they can defeat non-Muslims, Muslims can “subject to their regulations temporarily” in order to protect themselves, but this is only a last resort when their strength is weak.
At this stage, the mission of
the believers is to lurk in the enemy country and continue to grow and
strengthen themselves, but they must always take the development of Islam as
their duty:
(1) Early stage:
Non-Muslims account for the absolute majority. There are a small number of Muslims. They are small in number and can live in harmony with their neighbors.
Due to the small population, they will also marry local people. However, the requirements for marriage are very strict, and non-Muslims must be taught. Only then got married.
Through intermarriage, high fertility rates, and
missionary work, the Muslim population has gradually increased, and within two
generations, they can successfully multiply to hundreds of people and begin to
occupy a street.
(2) Development period:
The number of believers has further increased, but it is still a minority in the local area, and efforts have been made to build a mosque and introduce imams.
The imam class is equivalent to Islamist grassroots political party organizations.
When imam “takes root” in the settlement, the
expansion of Islam will enter a new stage, and its mass power will increase
exponentially. It continues to spread through intermarriage and high fertility
rates as well as missionary work. It is basically peaceful with the surrounding
neighbors, and occasionally there is friction.

Large mosque completed in Hangzhou in 2017
Saudi Grand Mosque built by Saudi Arabia is located in Shadian Town, Gejiu City, Yunnan Province
The Saudi
Grand Mosque built by Saudi Arabia is located in Shadian Town, Gejiu City,
Yunnan Province. It is said to be the largest in East Asia and can accommodate
30,000 believers at the same time. According to an Encyclopedia, there are
14200 people in 3617 households in Shadian Town (10436 Han people, 6060 Hui
people, 976 Miao people, 515 Zhuang people, and the rest are Dai, Yi, Hani, Mongolia,
Bai, Naxi and other ethnic groups)
There were only 13 mosques in Britain in 1963, which increased to more than 600 by 2008, and now has more than 1,000. Before 1990, there were only three mosques in Germany.
By 2008, there were 159 large mosques and more than 2,000 small mosques. Of course, the total number of mosques in Britain and Germany is not as good as a province in Gansu.
In 2015, Gansu alone registered more than 4,600
mosques.
A considerable part of the funds for new mosques in countries around the world come from Muslim countries in the Middle East.
The Office of the Islamic World Aid Association of Saudi Arabia claims that since its establishment in 1991, more than 4,000 mosques have been provided to countries around the world for more than 20 years, and 156 mosques have been improved.
Among them, 184 mosques have been built in Africa, and four have been improved.
Construction of 3766 mosques in Asia and improvement of 60. Construction of 300
mosques in Europe and improvement of 22 mosques.
According
to incomplete statistics, since 2008, Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern
countries have provided 300 new mosques to Ningxia, Xinjiang, Shaanxi and other
places, trained 1,450 Islamic imams, and sponsored 3,280 foreign students in
Afghanistan. The above measures have greatly promoted Islam Spread in China.
After the emergence of a large number of Muslim refugees in the Middle East war, Saudi Arabia explicitly refused to accept the refugees and generously expressed its willingness to help build 200 mosques in Germany to make the refugees feel home.
Americans publicly advocate Sharia law
Religious
members gather in a non-cult place to implement Sharia law
(3) Diffusion period:
The Muslim population has increased significantly, although the proportion of the total population is still a small number, but in some areas, the Muslim population can already account for the majority.
It has become a united group around the mosque and often conflicts with the local non-Muslim population. The reason, of course, is that non-Muslims do not respect their customs (in fact, not traditional folk customs, but the provisions of Sharia law).
Owing to the “Imam class” as the center of leadership and organization, its mobilization ability is much stronger than that of a secular citizen community scattered in the sand. In most “fighting conflicts”, the Islamic settlements can “win more with less”.
But because the nature of the conflict is “slight” and limited to “physical injuries,” secular government agencies often “cannot” do anything to the Islamic community.
Gradually, the surrounding indigenous people began to move away from the Islamic settlements, and the “Islamic zone” in the city began to form.
At this time, the “Imam class” became more and more powerful, and began to erode the “social management control” of secular government agencies, and the city’s Islamic community gradually became a “city within a city.” Islamic law has begun to replace secular law, and the “Amazing class” has begun to replace secular government agencies for social “rule management”.
The “teaching law is
greater than national law” phase begins.
The number of Muslims in London in 2001 was 610,000, while the number of Muslims in London in 2011 was 1.01 million, accounting for 12.4% of the total population.
The increase in the Muslim population in London over the past decade has reached a staggering 65%. The British Telegraph survey showed that 61% of British Muslims want to live under Sharia law in the UK.
East London has a higher proportion of
Muslim communities, with Tower Hamlets (34.5%) and Newham (32.5%). As the
surrounding Muslim population increases, more and more British young people
choose to join Islam.

(4) Late:
The Islamic gathering area is no longer under the actual government control, and the two sides have entered a deadlock. One side of the Islamic community is waiting for the “world chaos” and one day will be able to publicly announce the establishment of an “Islamic State” where politics and religion are united.
The government side of the secular nations will one day wait for “strong leaders” to come to power and be able to “let go and completely resolve”.
With the further expansion of the population in the Islamic settlements, the Islamic revolutionary forces have gained actual control, and the large number of young men in the community continues to increase, which has greatly increased the “instability” within the Islamic settlements, and it is urgent to find “Relief outlet”.
At this time, the entire Islamic community is like a “firewood fire,”
and the full-scale outbreak of a new round of religious war in the country is
destined to be an unavoidable fate.
When Muslims have seized the local government, they have cracked down on non-Muslims who refused to enter the religion through the regime and Sharia law.
The
combination of pressure and violence has made the living space of non-Muslims
smaller and smaller. A new Islamized region / country born.
Analyze and compare the development and growth of all Islamic communities in the world with the eventual outbreak of a total rebellion war, which basically cannot escape this evolutionary process model.
Its deepest core root is that the
spiritual core of Islam still completely maintains the primitive barbaric ideas
of the ancient nomadic peoples of the Middle East, such as the “tribal blood
rule and nomadic plundering survival rules”.
Islamic
society periodically agitates and launches “jihad” to the outside world,
essentially to “decompress” the population of its own society. Otherwise, the
population that continues to surge inside, especially the “excessive young
men”, can’t find a “way out”, and it will inevitably lead to major social
unrest and even cannibalism.
Until the rise of modern industrial civilization, the Islamic World ’s “periodical expansion of jihad” has achieved great success.
Eventually, Islam was extended
far to the Volga River Basin in Russia in the north, the Hexi Corridor Area in
China to the east, the Balkan area in Europe to the west, and the Niger River
Basin in the southeast to Africa in the south.
This is the strong “aggressiveness and expansion instinct” of Islamism repeatedly emphasized by Stavrianos in General History of the World.
The main reason for
its overall decline in the competition of global civilization in modern times
is that after the rise of Western industrial civilization, the Islamic world
finally lost its military technological advantage for continuous expansion and
was forced to condense its expansibility.
But the problems inherent in Islam still exist. Modern industrial civilization countries can reduce the proportion of young men’s unemployed population by “expanding industry and increasing employment”, and industrialization has reduced the “instability” of society as a whole.
However, because Islamic society is incompatible with modern industrial civilization, it is impossible to reduce the overall unemployment rate of Islamic society through industrialization and expansion of production. Therefore, the Islamic revival movement promoted by dictatorships in the Middle East such as Saudi Arabia, calling for an external “jihad” is merely a political attempt to divert the pressure from major social crises in the Middle East Gulf region, especially population pressure.
From the day they were born, those jihadists were destined
for the tragic fate of being “sacrificed” in the future, and the king and the
president could maintain their domestic rule for a long time.
What is The State of Islam?
The Islamic world is now completely backward, regardless of politics, economy, technology, military, or culture. How far behind is the example of books?
As we all know, books are the carrier of knowledge. According to statistics from research institutions, the total number of books in the Arab world is only 350,000.
On the other hand, the Arab world publishes 7,000 books each year, of which 1,000 are reprints.
In the same period, the printing volume of world
books was tens of millions. I can’t help but lament that the Islamic world in
the Middle East is not only geographically desert, but also a desert.
Is the reason behind the pagans?
Is it the United States, Europe, or China?
For politicians
and poor people in need of answers, it is the easiest excuse to attribute
responsibility to others, and the distinction between Islam and paganism is
further exaggerated by Islamic doctrine.
The most
important reasons for the economic backwardness, social disorder, and terrorism
and extreme forces raging in the Middle East are in itself.
Even before the Gulf War, the internal affairs of Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Egypt were devastated. The governors (all of them are single ethnic groups, denominations, or families) were all winners.
The corruption was severe, the economy was declining, unemployment was serious, and the opposition was desperate.
The
regime Architecture and social functioning are severely uncoordinated and
unsustainable.
What is Gaddafi family assets?
The net worth of Gaddafi dynasty or family is 80-200
billion US dollars
What is Saddam Hussain's family assets?
The net worth of Saddam Hussain family is 7 billion US dollars.
What are Assad family assets?
The US-driven Gulf War overthrew Saddam’s authoritarian rule and opened the Pandora’s Box of Islamist Politics and Religion.
But we must see that this magic
box has been strongly suppressed by dictators such as Saddam and Assad, and it
will be sooner or later to open it.
Note: If the United States withdraws from the Middle East and is unwilling to maintain local order, then no other force can take over the role of the United States.
The Middle East will be seriously out of order and world energy security will
be significantly affected.
In these Islamic countries where politics is highly corrupt, the economy is stagnant, people are becoming increasingly poor, and foreign wars and defeats have continued, the people keep asking: Where is the problem? Keep praying: Ask for blessing from Allah.
For a group with a glorious empire history, everyone instinctively cast their eyes on the past and reached a certain consensus that people deviated from the correct path of Islamic guidance.
Today’s sinking and chaos are punishment, and the trend of conservatism emerges as the times require.
This is a kind of bottom-up social self-promotion. Poor and closed Muslims have no job, no income, and no hope. They live in the ocean of radicalism once they are born.
Regardless of whether foreign forces disturb it,
radicalization and conservative trends in Islamic society have taken shape.
In
essence, this is the problem of the modernization of backward society.
Retro is
just dissatisfied with reality.
Where is the way out for Islam?
Reform
dilemma
What Devout Islam tells?
Devout Islam will tell you:
“Islam is
the last apocalypse, the perfect apocalypse. Muhammad is the last messenger,
and there is no messenger after that.”
“Islam is
a perfect way of life.”
You can
check the website of Muslims.
Because it
is perfect, it cannot be improved.
Muslims have always considered themselves invincible, and “cults” and “pagans” have no merit. This is partly due to religious prejudice and partly to the great cause that was once established. The Islamic world was once glorious.
From the
seventh century to about 1500 AD, Islam ruled the Ottoman Empire, the Safi
Empire of Persia, and the Mughal Empire of India.
The Islamic world has been closed for thousands of years, while Europe has undergone rapid development from religious revolution, great voyages, renaissance to industrialization, society, economy, technology, military and culture.
The gap between the Islamic world and Christian countries is getting wider and wider. The heavy burden of progress, still closed and stagnant, has widened the gap.
The past glorious past makes people proud, but now the backwardness and gap make people feel inferior.
Muslims are swinging at the
poles of pride and inferiority, and easily fall into the trap of ignorance and
activism. This situation is similar to the situation of the Qing Empire more
than 150 years ago.
But the difference between Islamism and other ideologies is that from the beginning it is a combination of politics and religion.
The set of Islamic teachings including political, economic, military and cultural is part of its social integrity. And moving the whole body, it is almost impossible to say that it can adapt to the new world system by removing a part of it, which makes it extremely difficult to secularize and industrialize.
For more than a century,
any attempt to secularize the Arab world has basically failed, except that
Turkey has been more successful under the iron arm of Kemal.
For the political and religious leaders of the current Islamic world, they all know that the old structure of Islamic society cannot adapt to the new world and is completely behind the world’s civilization process.
They face two options, either to reform the old structure or to completely deny the new world. And they will only choose the latter one, completely denying this new world.
The problems originate from the outside world, because many of their privileges originate from the conservative structure of the Islamic world.
Islam is structurally systematic, and any change to its social structure is equivalent to negation of its religious sacredness, which is equivalent to its political death sentence.
No matter what the reason is, they must Keeping the old
structures of Islam intact is the only way to guarantee their continued
privileges.
In the Islamic world, monarchy is generally practiced. Even if constitutional monarchy is implemented, the people have lived under the dual autocracy for thousands of years, and they cannot adapt to the temporary chaos brought by democracy and autonomy in the short term.
At the same time, if a social reformer wants to break the ice and carry out reforms, he must face a strong opposition force, so he will have to be authoritarian. However, centralization is contrary to the original intention of reform.
The final result is that reforms can only Stay at
the economic level. However, there is no good strategy for the religious privileges
that are the most restrictive of social development. They can only suppress
things.
On the one hand, social reformers must hold high the banner of Islam and on the other hand, they must reform the social system of Islam. This is an inevitable dilemma in the modernization process of Islamic society.
Facing the power mechanism of the integration of politics and religion, once the modernization process is started, any reform and innovation of the ruling party will face the resolute obstacles of the religious interests, and the society may be disordered.
So
Pahlavi’s secular reform failed, Khomeini succeeded in power through the
religious revolution, and the strongman Sadat was assassinated by religious
elements. This is the reform plight of the Islamic world.
Who is Great Kemal?
Driven by the toughness of the great Turkish father Kemal, Turkey has become the leading country in Islamic secularization and the most developed Muslim country, but Turkey’s secularization process has its historical opportunities and contingencies.
![]() |
| The Great Kemal |
Other countries are very Difficult to copy again. Kemal used his lofty prestige and absolute control of the army to eradicate the priest class from the roots, and realized the separation of politics and religion and the localization of Islam.
It must be pointed out that just as Iranians are Persians, not Arabs, and Turks are not Arabs, this makes it possible for Kemal to promote the de-Arabization of Islam.
Turkey is firmly moving towards Europe
and on the road to building a nation-state. This helps us think about the
reform path of modern Islam.
A
contemporary autosomes research report shows that the blood of the Turks is not
their claimed Turkic, but almost the same composition and proportion as the
Armenians, they are most likely to be the same ethnic group.
If so, the Armenian massacre of the year was actually a religious war between people of the same race.
The
Islamic world has not been able to achieve true religious reform and build a
modern nation-state. Even the more developed Turkey and Malaysia have systemic
problems.
In the 100-year process, Turkey has taken two steps forward and stepped back. Now, it is unclear where to go next.
From the current point of view, Erdogan is not trying to overthrow secular society, but he uses the underlying Islamic movement (known as mild Islamism, promoted as “Islamic modernity”) to restrict the army and urban elite, eager to obtain super power. It is most likely playing with fire.
The most terrible thing is that he was far away from Kemal’s pragmatic political strategy of completely abandoning the “Ottoman Empire”. He left the United States and the European Union with his left hand and beat Syria and Russia with his right hand.
At the same time, he faced a confrontation with
a powerful country. His future was really worrying.
In Malaysia, playing populism directly in the constitution, emphasizing ethnic differences, and granting privileges and privileges to specific ethnic groups must inevitably lead to social tearing and huge group contradictions and conflicts.
From the loss of people’s wealth and corruption, to the social turmoil and civil unrest. The bloodshed of Rwanda and Yugoslavia, and even the disintegration of the country, are not far away.
What could be the Path of Islamic Change?
It is an
objective fact that Islamic society is not destined to adapt to modern
industrial civilization without undergoing a thorough religious reform and
ideological revolution.
A Muslim scholar, director of the Department of Sociology of the University of Kuwait and editor-in-chief of Arab Magazine, said: “Culture is the root cause of our weakness or weakness.
We have not been able to establish a modern state in the Arab world. We are busy preaching slogans like the unified Arab nation, the Islamic caliph, but we cannot build a modern state. How to bring people into a better life is no longer a vague knowledge. But we do not yet have this knowledge. Because those in their place do not have this kind of knowledge, but knowledgeable people are not in their place.
“Indeed, there are so many
examples of the development of countries in the world. Singapore and Israel,
which have grown up and surrounded by Muslim countries, are the best. Model,
there are many other effective development paths. Toward modern civilization is
to seriously accept Mr. De and Mr. Sai.
There are many reflections in the Islamic world, such as:
Muslims talk about Islamic reform. There is a very unique phenomenon. The most thorough reflection often comes from women. This is probably the most severe reason for the oppression of women in Islamic teachings.
In Islamic society, women are
often regarded as property and reproductive machines and arbitrarily invoked.
Who is Wafa Sultan?
Sultan was born and raised in Syria and was a devout Islamic believer. In 1979, the terrorist rushed into Aleppo University in Damascus where she was studying, shouting “Allah is great!”, And killed her professor on the spot, and shot more than 100 shots at once.
![]() |
| Wafa Sultan's extremely condemnable quote |
She was extremely shocked and began to question the
Islamic knowledge she had obtained.
In the
debate program on Al Jazeera, she was powerful, quick-minded, quick-witted, and
did not budge. She silenced those Islamic scholars and was called “the biggest
nightmare of Islamic theology priests”.
According
to Sultan:
“This global conflict we witnessed is not a conflict of religion or a conflict of civilizations. It is a conflict between two opposing things and two eras. It is a kind of medieval psychology and 21st century thinking:
Conflict between advanced, backward and advanced.
Conflict between civilization and primitive.
Conflict between reason and brutality.
Conflict between freedom and oppression.
Conflict between democracy and autocracy
“In the Arab world where politics and religion are united, not only is autocracy rampant, but it is also a world of absolute masculinity. The mullahs with beards control everything. Women are not as good as camels. Don’t let the sun go, you need to be rigorous.
Those big men who go to the streets enthusiastically
anti-American and anti-Western can legally have three or four wives, but women
are even considered driving crimes. Don’t say that you have the same rights in
marriage. “
Sultan disagreed with the idea of Harvard Professor Huntington:
“There is no conflict between civilizations, only competition.” She believes that Islam is not civilization because such religions lead people to violence and slaughter.
She said that the Koran clearly states that all people who do
not believe in Islam will be turned into Muslims by force.
She compared Muslims and Jews. After great suffering, Jews were scattered around the world, but they united, not by violence and slaughter, but by contributing knowledge to the world and winning recognition from the world.
But what Muslims are doing is blasting ancient Buddha statues into ruins in Afghanistan. “We don’t see a Jewish man who destroys someone else’s church.
We don’t see a Jewish man who protests with murder. We don’t see a Buddhist who burns a mosque, kills a Muslim, or attacks an ambassador Museum. Only Muslims defend their faith by burning their churches, killing and destroying their embassies and consulates.
Sultan appealed to the Islamic world:
“Muslims must ask themselves, before they ask the world to respect them, what can they contribute to humanity?”
Sultan
said aloud those few Muslims dared to say in private:
“What I
want to do is to change the mindset of our people because they have been
hostages of Islamic teaching for fourteen centuries. No hostage can break the
prison rules and escape from prison by itself, and people in the outside world
should help them escape. ”
“Knowledge
has freed me from that backward thinking, and someone (to assume
responsibility) should free the Muslim people from that false belief.”
