In the contemporary world in which we reside, the struggle between truth and falsehood holds a historical essence, presenting numerous challenges in this era. The enduring struggle between truth and falsehood has consistently culminated in truth prevailing and the adherents of truth and reality emerging victorious.
In a global environment where the Western powers and their allies hold dominion over the earth and its inhabitants akin to masters, there still exist Muslims and groups in various corners of the world who refuse to accept this hegemony and have not bowed to subjugation.
As the conflicts between the sincere truth-seeking Muslim factions and the affluent dominant forces escalated, the Western powers and their politicians realized that they could never impede these movements through direct confrontation.
Consequently, they devised a strategy to undermine Islam from within, with the aim of weakening and dismantling its strong fortress. They endeavored to enslave certain movements and groups within the Islamic world for their own objectives, turning them into mercenaries for anti-Islamic purposes.
While they were strategizing to dismantle Islam from within the Muslim community, the beauty of Islam had already reached the West. The study of this pure and divine religion had commenced, leading the world to recognize that Islam is a divine religion sent for human prosperity.
Upon observing and studying the ethical and social way of life of Muslims, an unprecedented interest and admiration for Islam blossomed in the West. Witnessing this trend, the oppressors concluded that if Islamic justice were to reach their lands, it would diminish their false power and bring an end to their reign of oppression.
Hence, they propagated the concept of Islamophobia within their societies to deter individuals from embracing these justice-centered teachings and to prolong their rule. However, understanding that this narrative was fundamentally false and that people would eventually uncover the truth, they opted to establish an organization under the guise of Islam and Muslims—an organization that would perpetrate atrocities and spread corruption, instilling waves of destruction in people’s minds.
By showcasing the oppressive activities of this fabricated group, they aimed to convince their people that this is what Islam and being a Muslim entails, and that the positive portrayals they had encountered in history and studies were merely illusions and misconceptions held by some Muslims.
ISIS, an organization borne out of the minds of tyrants and oppressors, was utilized by them as a tool to foment animosity towards Islam and depict the genuine and correct path of Islam as synonymous with barbarity and oppression.
ISIS presented an ideal opportunity for this agenda in the global landscape, and it is plausible that it was created specifically for this purpose.
