The Qur’an refers to Muslims as “one Ummah”. This places certain responsibilities upon them to assist their suffering brothers and sisters in any part of the world. Yet most regimes in the Muslim world have failed to come to the aid of the Palestinian people.
The vast majority of regimes in the Muslim world are illegitimate. They are also anti-Islamic but they need a cover of Islamicity to fool the masses. Enter the scholars for dollars that are eager to oblige.
The Arab League is a non-entity but it is periodically resurrected in order to massage the ego of one or another Arabian potentate. This was the case last month when the Najdi Bedouins called its meeting to condemn Iran. With Zionist Israel, the Arabians are in bed.
Muslim governments, vying with each other to demonstrate their readiness to back the so-called war against terrorism, are tightening the noose on Islamic charities and schools, controlling their funding, enrollment and curricula to eradicate ‘Islamic extremism’.
Since its establishment in 1979, the Islamic Revolution has always been seen by Muslim dictators, their media and their western masters as a source of threat - not through force of arms but by example.
