Secularism (Part 39)

2- The Planning of Jews and Crusaders

The Crusades, characterized by thuggery, aggression, and oppression, had a clear and overt military agenda. Their primary goal was to dismantle Islamic governance through brute force. The Crusaders aimed to destroy and eradicate Islam by occupying Muslim lands. In alignment with this objective, the orientalist Kimon, whose thinking was heavily influenced by the Crusades, presented a plan to Westerners that outlined the eradication of Islam. He stated: “I believe it is necessary to massacre one-fifth of the Muslim population, enslave the rest through hard labor, destroy the Ka’aba, and take control by placing the tomb of Muhammad, peace be upon him, along with his body, in the Louvre Museum.”

Evangelist “Balkraf” states: “When the Quran and the civilization of Makkah are lost from the Arab lands, then it will be possible for us to see the Arabs progressing towards the civilization that Muhammad and his book brought to them.” In the current era, this viewpoint has evolved into an agenda aimed at the intellectual eradication of Muslims and the removal of religious thought and belief from the hearts and souls of Muslim children. The conflict between the West and Islam has transformed into a battle against Islamic faith; the battlefield has shifted to the realm of Muslim thought, utilizing intellectual means supported by institutions and organizations. The primary strategy in this war is to label it with any name other than Islam, thereby obscuring its true nature and hostility towards Islam.

The first individual to articulate and present this approach to the Western invaders was Saint Louis, King of France. After being captured and imprisoned in the Mansoura region, he returned to his homeland and conveyed a comprehensive strategy for confronting Muslims to his followers and nation.

He advised his people to use the following strategies as essential tools to overcome the Muslims:

1. Transform military crusades into peaceful crusades. While these peaceful endeavors share the same objectives as the military crusades, the methods and tools employed differ.

2. Deploy an army of Western Orientalists in the guise of a peaceful engagement to combat Islamic teachings, halt the spread of Islam, and ultimately dismantle the religion.

3. Focus efforts on recruiting Eastern Christians to further Western policy in the Islamic world.

4. Establish Western bases in the center of the Arab East, where Western forces can assume control and manage their political and religious agendas while attacking Islam and Muslims.

Louis IX aimed to establish such a base along the coast of the White Sea, from Gaza to Alexandria, encompassing Palestine, Jordan, the Holy Land, and Lebanon.

Through these insidious plans and the recommendations of Louis IX, the strategic intentions of the West to distance the Islamic Ummah from its religion and teachings were set in motion. Consequently, the army of Western adversaries was characterized by three major factions:

1. Occupying forces

2. Orientalists

3. Evangelists

A fourth group that can be included with these factions consists of the Jewish and Christian tribes, as well as the Bateni among the Islamic tribes. These groups initiated a concentrated and brutal assault on Islamic territories, resulting in unprecedented violence and killing in Islamic nations. They sought to replace Islamic Sharia, religious civilization, Islamic thought and culture, healthy religious thought, Islamic beliefs, and all aspects of this saving religion with a system of irreligion and opposition to faith—specifically, secularism.

As a consequence, Muslims and Islamic countries encountered generations with Islamic names, yet their beliefs and thoughts bore no relation to religious teachings and doctrines.
