The colonial moderates and the world has changed multiple times throughout history, leading us to where we are now, with proxy wars, proxy occupations, proxy revolutions, political infiltration, cultural and media manipulation, economic extortion, creating imaginary enemies, inciting the streets against governments, distracting people with their livelihood, impoverishing moderates, and enriching the wealthy.
The Cold War
The Cold War between the two world poles, America and Russia, ended because it diverted their attention from what is important. The Germanies were reunified, Sino-American economic relations strengthened, political differences froze, North Korea's threats to America ceased, and relations between the Koreas started to gradually improve. Vietnam found its place, the seven tigers emerged, Japan focused on science and technology, and the Soviet Union's dissolution eased a significant political, economic, and military burden on Moscow. The integrated Eastern European countries (Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia) disintegrated to form new states and new flags that joined the United Nations.
Fragmentation and Integration
This fragmentation and integration represent one of the stages of the new world map, which is constantly evolving with colonialism, independence, revolutions, and coups.
These methods continue to exist, and the losers are weak countries, military states, and politically naïve countries. There are many of them.
Efforts are still ongoing to impose the "New Middle East Map," in line with the aspirations of the Zionists, who drew boundaries in their country starting with the penetrated Arab Spring revolutions. People participated in these movements with goodwill, hoping for a better future, only to end up worse off economically, politically, socially, religiously, culturally, and intellectually, to the point where they lament their painful past even more.
One of the latest attempts was the failed fascist coup in Turkey, a story known to everyone.
Blessings of Security and Safety
Perhaps this is an opportunity to remember the blessings of security and safety enjoyed by many people but absent in other places (Syria, Palestine, Yemen as examples). We should thank God for placing us in safe countries free from political and security infiltration. We must avoid falling prey to the pressures of political slogans that are easily abandoned by those who once supported them. Every person must use reason and not be swayed by emotions, media, or social media.
It pains me to see individuals accusing Islamic movements, insulting Salafis, condemning preachers, disrespecting the Muslim Brotherhood, attacking Wahhabis, and fueling sectarian strife between Sunnis and Shiites, urbanites and Bedouins, liberals and Islamists, rulers and the ruled (especially in Gulf countries). Everyone loses in such situations, and those who benefit are those who planned it all.
We must indeed be wary of political, security, and media infiltration to prevent ourselves from becoming a pawn in the plans of the new Middle East Map creators. We must unite and not succumb to rumors, there are too many of them.
I ask God to protect our countries, the Muslim world, and all of humanity from all forms of evil.
