Struggle and Diligence
Islamic governments, since establishing themselves firmly in the
Arab Peninsula and the Middle East, in the aftermath of Post WWI,
have declared themselves, through their religious leaders, as
representative of Allah. Islam has since claimed spiritual authority
over all the Muslims of the world, regardless of their place of
residence and country, whether in (Dar Al-Silm or Dar Al-Harb
states) The Abode of Peace or the Abode of War.
Islam looks forward to the day when, through their Jihad (Holy War)
and Ijtihad (Diligence), they will liberate the Abode of War, and
ultimately cleanse the country they have come to live in, from
polytheism, and subject its people to Islamic rule. Surat (Al-Ahzab)
The Allies 33:26-27 states:
"And He drove down those of the followers of the Book who backed
them from their fortresses and He cast awe into their hearts, some
you killed and you took captive another part. And He made you heirs
to their land and their dwellings and their property, and (to) a
land which you have not yet trodden, and Allah has power over all
things.”
When people question the validity of such verses and the extent to
which they are applied in modern times, Muslim spiritual leaders
shift ground. Muslim scholars, academics and intellectuals say that
those were events that took place in the past against a specific
tribe, or some tribes and sects, and that they bear no relation to
the present.
Yet, they stand as threatening examples and their potential
applicability still exists, as is presently evidenced in Cyprus,
Lebanon, Israel, Iraq, Egypt, Kashmir, the Philippines, Macedonia
and Serbia’s Kosovo. Their hostility, armed aggression, determined
separation and by force of arms, is a warning of the long-term
objective of the Abode of Peace. The Lebanese Maronite Christians
are already on the losing end of their final battle. It is getting
harder by the day to hold on to their independence and cedar symbol,
and may soon see their flag changed to reflect Islam’s hold.
The Lebanese Muslims are determined to change the constitution to
agree with their increased ratio over the Christians. The Muslim
domineering rival will eventually replace the cedar emblem on the
Lebanese flag with the sectarian crescent, and add Lebanon to the
ever-growing Abode of Peace of its Umma Nation. The make up of the
National Assembly might remain and be reaffirmed since it suits the
one-party system per se of the traditional Arab system of government
of Majlis Al-Shura of old. Addition of Lebanon to the Abode of Peace
will complete the link to be added to the Arab League to be called
‘The Islamic League’, denoting that all the Arab states are Islamic
and so the rest of the member states of the League.
