The Inevitable Clash of Civilizations by Al-Khilafah Publications

As for political struggle between the Western civilisation and Muslims, it was evident in the following:

First: Their destruction of the Khilafah in 1924.

Second: Their establishing of the Jewish state in Palestine, and preserving it and its characteristic military supremacy.

Third: They're dividing of the Muslims' community (jama’ah) and encouraging this division under the name of independence, until they became about sixty entities and they still work for fragmentation and division. The danger of destructive fragmentation is not hidden from the intelligent. Muslims are strongly inclined to this idea of independence and fighting for its sake even though it completely clashes with their civilisation and concepts. Allah commanded them to be one body (jami'an) and not divided, but they proceed with division and consecrating division even though they recite day and night His (SWTH) saying:

"Hold fast, all together, to the rope of Allah and do not divide" [TMQ Al- Imran: 103]. All together (jami'an) is the condition of those holding fast to the rope of Allah; its meaning is the community (jama’ah); rather it is the community itself due to His (PBUH) saying:

“Whoever comes to you and your affair is united under one man aiming to break your power or divide your community (jama’ah), kill him!” So all together (jamian) and community (jama’ah) under one man, have the same meaning.

Fourth: Implementing their political systems, republican and monarchical, formally in the Islamic regions, together with separating the authorities formally into three authorities as is the situation with them.

Fifth: They are fighting the serious movements that are working for change through establishing the Islamic State, the rightly guided Khilafah State. At times they call them extremists and at other times they call them fundamentalists. This fight is mostly through the use of their agents and rarely directly. " Martin Indyck, the official responsible for Middle Eastern affairs stood in the White House to say that the challenge facing America in the East is assisting friendly countries to contain extremism" (Al-'Arabi magazine number 514). If they were unable to contain it, they suppressed it with harshness and malice through their 'progressive moderate friends', those about whom Nixon said in 'The Favourable Opportunity': "The relationship of many politicians in the Islamic countries with Islam does not exceed their relationship with its ideals, customs and norms…Progressives: This is a group whose activity is noticeable… and it strives to tie the Muslims with the civilized world in the political and economic spheres. This group is distinguished with flexibility, and they do not describe the West as being atheist. Rather they call them the People of the Book. Some of the countries ruled by the progressives are democratic like Turkey and Pakistan…We must assist the progressives in the Muslim world…The key of the American policy is represented in the strategic cooperation with the progressive Muslims only. Since we associate with progressives in our goals, our cooperation must cover all economic and security areas…It is imperative that the relationship between America and partner states does not reach the level of guardianship, and we must not treat the leaders in the progressive states as if they are our correspondents between us and their peoples, rather we must treat them as equal partners, because the quickest way to bury them is treating them as mouthpieces for Western propaganda…We must accept at time the rejection of our friends in the Islamic world of some of our actions that cause them political difficulties in their countries." The Ummah knows well these 'progressive moderate friends', and there is nothing wrong in reminding her of what the rulers of Iraq, Egypt, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Algeria, Syria, Libya and Tunisia did to the sincere among the sons of this Ummah.

Sixth: Founding the United Nations and Security Council to grant legitimacy to intervene in the affairs of weak countries, among them the states existing in the Islamic world. If America could not intervene through the Security Council due to the wrangling of some super powers, it bypasses the Security Council and United Nations and acts independently in a solitary manner; such as the case now, in what it called the 'Crusade War against Terrorism' so it goes out wherever it likes and strikes whoever it likes. Nixon stated explicitly in his book 'The Favourable Opportunity' about this policy saying: "When the interests of the United States are exposed to harm, it will act in coordination with the UN whenever possible. However, if the matter was not possible, it will act alone without assistance from it." Collard Power, political science professor at Massachusetts University, said in his article: "It is clear that international law does not apply to the Western hemisphere…It seems that breach of human rights is accepted as long as it serves American interests.".

Seventh: Assembling a number of profiteers and tyrants whom they call parties, where they hand over the power to one of them and classify the remainder as opposition. This is if they did not impose what they call the single party system.

These are some of the forms of the political struggle that the followers of the Capitalist civilisation wage upon Muslims and others. They succeeded in all these forms, due to the absence of the good guardian and good system, represented by the Khilafah State.
