Ruling Regimes against Islamic Unity

The entire discourse of the secular regimes with respect to the Islamic Movement tries to put a siege to the idea of Islamic unity and the global aspect of the Islamic project. Most of the attack is directed to the internationalization of the Islamic Project and Movement. Therefore, the media tries to restrict this idea and portray it as if it breaches and goes beyond the concept of national belonging. This battle has been going on for decades in an attempt to impose nationalism, in its territorial national sense, on the discourse of the Islamic Movement so that the relative weight of the maxim of Islamic unity fades, and the political discourse of the Islamic Movement transforms to the rather narrow national framework.

Once again it becomes clear that the idea of merging the Islamic Movement into political life means that the Islamic Movement should abandon the idea of Islamic unity or the global dimension of its project. In this way, the Islamic Movement is put under pressure to turn into a national Islamic Movement that works within the framework of restricted territorial nationalism and whose objectives and ends are limited to the territorial national domain. This is a continuous process designed to isolate the Islamic Movement from the idea of Islamic unity and the maxim of an Islamic Caliphate. Moreover, the adoption of the idea of a Caliphate is enough to declare war on the Islamic Movement.

The carrot offered to the Islamic Movement is to abandon the idea of Islamic unity, while the stick is the blockade, security strikes, and turning the confrontation into an international war. This is confirmed by the strange sensitivity towards any mention of an international entity of the Islamic Movement. It has become unable to work on an international level, although its project is global in the final analysis: it is the project of creating a global state that represents the entire Islamic Ummah.  

One of the results of the severe siege on the idea of the United Islamic State is the emergence of those who adopt the idea of the Islamic project without the idea of the Islamic Caliphate or State, because the maxim of the Islamic State itself implies a United Islamic State, that is, the state of the Islamic Caliphate. Therefore, the Islamic scene now has such trends or entities that adopt the Islamic project without the project of a United Islamic State. This represents the most important success of Western countries and the process of the siege of the Islamic Movement: the journey to make a territorial national Islamic Movement has commenced. It has within it the seeds of a Western project through its territorial national trend and in this way it shall become eligible to play the role of the local colonizer or the agent of the West. It will then receive the territorial nation-states established by colonial powers and ruled by unjust and corrupt local regimes. However, these old regimes have expired and the Western requirement now is to create new regimes to lead and preserve the territorial nation-state and prevent the establishment of any form of Islamic unity or the establishment of the United Islamic State.
