Rules of engagement in war of ideas against Jihadists

Part one: Roots of war of ideas In Muslim World

Preface of Part one: Roots of war of ideas In Muslim World

 Understanding roots of war of ideas is essential to understand rules of ideas. Two terms here are the key words: Quraysh and the Saudis and their Wahabi faith. Quraysh had violated the religion of Abraham for its international trade between India and Europe, and for this reason waged war of ideas against the Prophet Mohamed who was sent as the final Messenger of Allah to restore the pure religion of Abraham. As a reaction of persecution Mohamed and his early Muslims immigrated to Al Madina and established the first and the ideal Islamic State in the time of the Prophet Mohamed. The Holy Quran has documented the pillars of this Islamic State and its high values and its direct democracy. It also has documented the debate of war of ideas in the time of the Prophet Mohamed when the Quran responded to Quraysh refuting their argument and their faith of idolizing saints and sacred tombs, and also in reforming the early Muslims.

The Quranic war of ideas defeated Quraysh, and made them accepting Islam to keep their interest and homogony. After the death of Mohamed, Quraysh restored its control , and step by step it restored its human made religion under many titles, the most famous one of them is Sunna. After the death of Prophet Mohammed Quraysh used the name of Islam and the name of Jihad in establishing the mighty Arab Muslim Empire that lasted about six centuries, where different dynasties from Quraysh ruled most of the known World, from the border of India and China to the border of France, controlling the Eastern trade that Europe needed badly .Christian Europe in that time was the ardent enemy to Muslim World, where the world was divided into two camps according to the Qurayshi human made Sunni religion: The camp of peace and believers and the European enemy camp of war and infidels. European leaders in church and states had the same attitude towards Muslim World according to the religious culture of Middle age where there were religious wars and religious persecution.

To reach India and to control the Eastern trade – as an aspect of war between Muslims and European Christian, Europe has discovered the new world and colonized Muslim and Arab World. As a reaction of this great transmission, the West in new world and Europe has entered the age of science and democracy and modern state controlling most of the world including Arab Muslim World.

 To restore their old glory and to rebuild a new one Muslim Empire that can face the Western side, Muslims in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries had two solutions: To follow the modern way of the West. This was the choice of Egypt under the rule of its ruler Mohamed Ali Pasha.  The different way is to restore the very fanatic school of the Sunni sect under the name of Wahhabism. This is the choice of the Saudi Family.

Wahhabism contradicts the religion of Islam in its faith, its values and its Jurisprudence. The Wahhabis are a very minute sect within the Muslim population; they are less than 1% of one billion and half. Through the Saudi oil and influence, and with US support, the Saudi were able to portray Wahhabism as the religion of Islam. Wahhabism is the religion of the Saudis and Al-Qaeda as well. Wahhabism has revived and restored the most fanatic Sunni sect in Muslim Medieval Age history and brought it to our modern times in the name of Islam. Accordingly, the Saudis and Al-Qaeda uphold together the same Sunni doctrine of Jihad that divides the world into two camps, (Muslim camp: Camp of belief and peace) (Enemy camp: camp of war and disbelief). They believe in the final holy war between the two camps at the end of this world. This is their Jihad against the West and the US. To make this Jihad they have to preside over and control all Muslims by imposing their fanatic Sharee’a on them. The fanatic terrorist Shiites in Iran and Iraq are just reaction to the Saudis and their Wahhabism.

Like Quraysh, the Saudis control the Holy Mosque in Mecca and use it to support their homogony and prestige. Like Quraysh, the Saudis use the name of Islam and Jihad in their war of Ideas against the West and against other Muslim sects and cults. So, as the Holy Quran hasd defeated Quraysh in war of ideas in the time of the Prophet Mohammed, it still the perfect way in is dismantling the Wahhabism and other fanatic terrorist groups in Muslim World.

This first section gives more details in its three chapters.
