Kill the Idea, Not the Revolution
1. The international system could have tried to kill the Syrian revolution in its early stages by bombing it and cutting off its supplies. The countries of the world that today agree to prevent any free Sunni Muslim entity from emerging were no different in this prevention. But if they had suppressed the revolution with decisive direct intervention from the beginning, the greatest they could have achieved would be to kill the revolution, leaving the idea... the jihadi-liberation idea, and it would grow in people's hearts.
2. The international system wanted the revolution to continue, for differences and fighting to occur among Muslims, for the effects of methodological and intellectual differences and the chances of the self to appear, and for Muslims to witness all of this, so that the jihadi idea would die in their hearts and an automatic immunity would be formed among the peoples against any liberation call!
3. The international system appeared as if it gave the "Islamists" their chance at some stage, to fail on their own without external intervention, and indeed it intervened through infiltrations and striking at the chords of methodological differences and turning a blind eye -temporarily- to the voices supporting this side or that and inciting internal fighting... all these "yeasts" were added to facilitate the appearance of the effects of the entrenched state of division and difference among those affiliated with Islamic work.
4. In addition to the "soft containment" that the international system practiced –or remained silent about- through some countries that appeared in the guise of the revolution's patron! Which provided poisoned support to attract some factions under its umbrella and exclude others, deepening the state of conflict.
5. Just as every generation is vaccinated against diseases, the international system is keen on "vaccinating" every generation of Muslims against the jihadi-liberation thought so that it remains a secluded thought, isolated from the body of the nation, losing its support.
6. Graham Fuller (Graham Fuller), who held the position of Deputy Director of the American intelligence agency, and worked between the US Department of State and the CIA for twenty-seven years, put the conclusion of his extensive experience in a serious sentence from his book (The Future of Political Islam) in which he says: "Nothing can show the Islamists in a worse light than a failed experience in governance"!!
7. When factions were invited to "negotiations," this never means that they are far from being targeted and eliminated at some stage, no matter what they present, but those who invite them and exclude others want to deepen the conflict and push towards fighting, to kill "the idea," then (the white ox has eaten).
8. In all of this, conflicting countries seek to achieve their conflicting agendas, but no matter how different they are, the establishment of a free Sunni entity is a red line that all of them agree to prevent!
9. Personally, a period passed in which global channels contacted me to interview me about the conflict between the "Islamic" factions in Sham, and I refused because of what I smelled of hunting in murky water. While when initiatives for reform and stopping internal fighting came out, they did not find any media interest from these channels! 10. I used to read the final hadiths about fighting fitna such as (Be the killed Abdullah and do not be the killing Abdullah), or (Be like one of Adam's children), i.e., the one who said to his brother: (If you stretch your hand to kill me, I will not stretch my hand to kill you)... So I wonder! Because Islam commands the Muslim to defend himself and his property, not with passivity, even towards a Muslim. And now I feel as if the land of Sham is explaining the hadiths to me!
11. The Muslim who is busy confronting the original clear enemy, and he knows that his enemies are pushing him to fight with other Muslims to kill the jihadi-liberation principle, and to alienate all Muslims from him and from Islam itself... this Muslim remains busy in his confrontation with the original enemy, even if another Muslim stabs him from behind, not out of passivity, nor "excessive leniency" out of the fact that he is "my brother in Islam," nor out of love for this transgressing Muslim –whoever he may be- but his state of mind is (like one of Adam's children): (If you stretch your hand to kill me, I will not stretch my hand to kill you, I fear Allah, Lord of the Worlds, I want you to bear my sin and your sin, so you will be among the companions of the Fire, and that is the reward of the wrongdoers). And Allah knows best.
