The Displacement of Muslims
In previous sections, we extensively discussed the destruction of Islamic cities by the ISIS Khawarij. However, their devastation was not confined to the demolition of buildings alone—it also led to the mass displacement and forced migration of Muslims, creating a humanitarian crisis with far-reaching consequences.
The malign presence of ISIS in Iraq and Syria paved the way for widespread displacement. According to available data, by 2014 alone, approximately 7.6 million people in Syria and 3.3 million in Iraq had been forced from their homes due to the ongoing conflicts. This mass exodus not only uprooted families but also disrupted the social and cultural fabric of entire communities.
The migration of Muslims to European countries is regarded as one of the most significant services rendered by the ISIS Khawarij to their Western masters. This migration was, in fact, a sinister trap—one in which ordinary Muslims fell prey to the deceit of Christian missionaries and other deviant religious influences.
Evangelists and propagandists exploited the plight of refugees, employing every possible means to detach displaced Muslims from their faith and lure them into accepting a distorted version of Christianity.
In this section of the series “ISIS Khawarij: The West’s New Weapon Against Islam,” we will examine the profound damages caused by the displacement of Muslims and the dire consequences of their migration to Western countries.
1. Weakening of Faith and Cultural Transformation
Many refugees migrated to countries where religious values are weak or marginalized. As a result, a significant number of individuals became influenced by Western culture, gradually drifting away from their faith and Islamic beliefs.
2. Moral and Social Issues
Living in societies that promote unrestricted and excessive freedom, particularly for the younger generation, has led to widespread moral corruption, a loss of identity, and the spread of immorality. The absence of strong ethical frameworks in these environments has further exacerbated these challenges.
3. Psychological Struggles and Identity Crisis
For Muslim migrants—especially children and young adults—life in non-Islamic societies has created a profound identity crisis. Torn between their familial Islamic culture and the foreign environment they are forced to adapt to, many struggle to reconcile their heritage with the pressures of assimilation.
4. Economic and Social Hardships
Many refugees face severe economic difficulties, struggling to find stable employment and secure livelihoods. In some cases, these challenges force individuals into illegitimate work or make them dependent on government assistance, further marginalizing them within their new societies.
5. Impact on Future Generations
Children raised in non-Islamic societies due to forced migration quickly lost their religious values, native language, and cultural identity. Consequently, their connection to Islam weakened over time.
In this way, the ISIS Khawarij, through the destruction of Islamic cities, not only displaced millions of Muslims but also facilitated their migration to Western countries. This migration exposed them to a path fraught with worldly and spiritual challenges—a path whose ultimate outcome is the ruin of both this world and the hereafter.
