American Chronicle: Russia, Islam, and the West - by Dr. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Russia, Islam, and the West - by Dr. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Over the past 700 years, which means since the very moment of the Crusaders’ failure and departure, the main two powers of the Islamic world have been Turkey and Iran. Only. The European colonial powers attempted to detach parts of the vast Ottoman Empire and prepare there bogus states that did not correspond to local needs; furthermore in these detached Ottoman provinces, they helped establish bogus-educational systems, diffused Western culture, averted the formation of National Identity and the composition of National History, imposed a combination of erroneous political – ideological systems, namely Pan-Arabism and Islamism, set up local elites acknowledged as lewd and mean slaves and total subordinates of the West, exploited the natural resources, and spread an incredible and unhistorical anti-Turkish hatred (from Egypt to Syria, and from Arabia to Libya). Like this, they thought they would create a new, false Islam that they would manipulate at will.
Quite unfortunately for the European colonial powers, and for the confused US foreign policy that followed their footprints, this situation could not produce any real result. Nothing can change the reality that (secular or not) Turkey and (imperial or theocratic) Iran are the only realities of the Islamic World. The falsehood of Pan-Arabism and Islamism, created in Paris and London, remained just a falsehood. Cairo, Riyadh and Dubai are just nothing. Note EU-Digest: "Amen to that - Dr. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis hit the nail right on the head".
