Western media is rife with racism & fear mongering
- Western News is no longer mainstream, since we have social media.
- Seeks to illicit two reactions
- Racism among it’s supporters
- Fear and terror among it’s victims
- Fosters the myth of a clash of civilizations
- Democracy, Decency and Honor
- Islamic Terrorism, Barbarism and Medievalism
- Not interested in the truth
- Israel supporters do not want to know the truth.
- Truth would force them to examine their materialism, racism, self-delusion and complicity in oppression, murder and genocide.
- Dogmatic adherence to lies & propaganda
- They intoxicate themselves with words.
- They repeat these words.
- They shout they out the words, imagining as though they believe them.
- All effective propaganda builds upon these irrational, psychological habits.
- Designed to create cognitive dissonance
- Abolishes nuances, ambiguities and contradictions, that can plague the conscience
- The world is black and white, good and evil, righteous and unrighteous.
- Allows believers to take comfort, since they are desperately seeking in their own moral superiority.
- Believers in God can now take comfort in believing that they are are right.
- It feeds the logic-proof compartment of dogmatic adherence.
- Beating the drums of war at the Global South
- Democracy, Freedom, Liberty are all rights, not intended to be granted to the Global South.
- Smiley faces of Genocide spout their pseudo-morality, in the white house or at the united nations.
They discovered slavery.
Fight over silk roads and access to markets
Given the US’s very high and disturbing rape statistics, systemic racism, extra-judicial detention and political corruption, Tehran would significantly boost its international standing if it were to demand as part of the JCPOA deal for the Biden regime to grant basic rights to US citizens. While the Iranian society also faces numerous problems, hard data shows that American secularism outperforms Iran in all the listed and most non-listed vices.
The enlightenment
The misapplication of science, by mostly Christian thinkers upon the study of human political and social organization produced a materialistic world-view based upon a ‘natural law’ morality, borrowed from parts of Christian tradition, which would later become Liberalism and Secularism. Western civilization adopts as its basis the separation of religion from life’s affairs is contradictory to man’s nature, thus giving no weight to the spiritual aspect in society, and it views life as only benefit and makes the attainment of benefit as the foundation for the relationship between men. Hence, it is natural for any good morals to be shunned in life in the same way that the spiritual values were neglected, and life established upon competition, struggle, aggression and colonialism.
Christianity and Judaism were liberalized due to their priests enforcing arbitrary laws with no basis in revelation. The campaign to liberalize Islam has been met with heavy resistance, due to Muslims closely holding on to the final immutable divine revelation, the Holy Quran.
The fact that Western democracy deliberately or ignorantly fails to address the question of spirituality as a primary focus in human life, makes all its ideas to become fallacious, deceptive, and reductionist. In contrast, Islam is the most perfect and most comprehensive political way of life, a fully-detailed and all-encompassing principle upon which all the nations can found their system of social, economic, and political life.

All man-made ideologies are built upon materialistic worldviews
All modern ideologies such as nationalism, capitalism, socialism, communism etc. are destructive to the human being and the community. All man-made systems and ideologies are the same in their nature and way of thinking, their materialistic worldviews on life are united, but the differences between them are in approaches and (in way of) arrangements (i.e. there was total freedom of investment in America, while it was guided in England and no investment at all, in Russia everything would be held by the community). The real human struggle is not the possession and monopoly of wealth and power but for the attention, heart, soul, allegiance and commitment of the human being.
Western Civilization is materialistic, greedy and hedonistic
Darwinism, Freudianism and Marxism and other Western theories and social institutions are the direct consequences of the view that man is, after all, an elevated animal. This civilization with its ideas, cultures, customs and traditions makes mankind suffer, worried and confused, having been scorched by the fires of greed, materialism and hedonism. Western civilization will inevitably collapse because it is based on ideas and principles of human origin and therefore is founded on misconceptions, errors and considerations of self-interest. Besides, it contradicts human nature, or in other words, it will harm humanity as a whole.
- Western Civilization is based on wrong belief, such as atheism, polytheism, because it has ignored the laws of God, rather it makes man in lords.
- Western Civilization is based on materialism, no matter in what form, in theory or in practice. This concept of materialism assumes the meanings of ethic, morality and immorality and values systems are relative or due to economic factors or sometimes to political affairs. In other words, material production is considered to be more valuable and honorable than the development of human character.
- Western Civilization is based on a wrong worldview on man, on society, on life and on nature.
- Western Civilization is based on a wrong perception of the relationship between man and woman.
Muhammad Iqbal repeatedly and bitterly accused the West of cheating humanity of its basic values with the glittering mirage of its technology, of exploiting the territories it colonized in the name of spreading humanitarian values, which it itself flouted by waging internecine wars born of
sheer economic savagery, and of de-womanizing the woman and dilapidating the family institution in the name of progress.
Capitalism is modern Colonialism
The Capitalist system, also called the Democratic system, came into being in Western societies after the The French Revolution which stressed individual freedom in all aspects of life. Capitalism in its early stages brought about great progress to humanity. Production was increased, means of communication were improved and national resources were exploited on a large scale for the interest of both sides.
But such a glorious picture did not last long because the natural development of capitalism gradually changed this great freedom to great evil and rendered oppression to the majority in society. Consequently, this concept of freedom led to the freedom of monopoly, accumulation of wealth among
the minority, usury and injustice in wages for workers. The propagandists of capitalism declared that capitalism was based on freedom of competition, that conforms to the interest of individuals and communities, but it became monopoly, the very contrary of competition.
Capitalism is a materialistic theory of social system, therefore contrary to human nature. The moral values in Capitalism refer to self-interest and always ally to the ruling class. Formally, capitalists use people and governments to justify their aims. On the international level, the conflict among the capitalist countries led to competition for raw material resources, new markets for their goods and investments which in turn gave rise to colonialism.
Global North Problems: Laissez-faire capitalism
These problems exist within and between societies. While poverty will not be eradicated completely, the gap between rich and poor can be narrowed if equitable policies are implemented. Yet there are more billionaires in the world today than ever before, while nearly a billion people live in abject poverty. This is the direct result of policies implemented by governments to reward those at the very top while the poorest in society keep getting poorer because of deliberate neglect. This is referred to as laissez-faire capitalism in which it is claimed that the wealth accumulated by the rich will trickle down to the poor. There are huge tax breaks for the rich while such vital public services as healthcare and education suffer underfunding or funds cut off completely.
The Donald Trump regime has given the top corporations $1 trillion in tax cuts while those at the bottom have been left to fend for themselves. Trump himself is a billionaire although much of his wealth has been accumulated through shady deals or fraudulent means. Some critics even accuse his foundation of running a money-laundering racket for the Russian mafia.
In its annual report released before the World Economic Summit at Davos, the British charity Oxfam said, “The wealth of the world’s billionaires increased $900 billion in the last year (2018), which is $2.5 billion a day.” Oxfam went on to say, “26 people owned the same [amount of wealth] as the 3.8 billion people who make up the poorest half of humanity.”
In the 10 years since the financial crisis of October 2008 that caused enormous suffering through a financial meltdown, the fortunes of the richest have risen dramatically. The number of billionaires has almost doubled, with a new billionaire created every two days between 2017 and 2018. Such Ponzi schemes as the dot.com, housing, and derivatives bubbles burst, inflicting enormous suffering on the poor. The “too big to fail” corporations and banks were bailed out with some $1.5 trillion in handouts while the poor were dispossessed of their homes because they could not pay their mortgages! America, the world’s leading capitalist, acts as a welfare state for the rich.
This is the problem within societies. The problems between societies, especially exploitation of some states by others, is even worse. We can begin with the period of colonialism. It can be summed up in a single word: plunder. The wealth and resources stolen from colonies in Asia, Africa, and the Muslim East financed European development. Today the plunder continues by other means but is no less destructive.
Post-modernistic Pluralism
In this sense, one of the main features of postmodernism that caught my attention was the plurality of thoughts and ideologies existent, which often are opposed and that sometimes become a reason to be interpreted as a weakness in terms of convictions and principles. In the context of postmodernism there is no supreme criterion of knowledge. Therefore, there are various explanations, assertions and interpretations of the truth that do not allow to readily generate a single conception of things.
To a great extent, I think that this is an important explanation of why we are constantly judging others. We come from generations that lived in a whole different condition; a condition that was dominated by a single reality as explanation (modernism). Therefore, we -as a new generation- are living the clash of these two different contexts. Although we live in a new world in which there should be the possibility of coexistence between different worldviews, we haven’t completely understood what this entails.
On the other hand, there is an anthropocentrism that leads to insensitivity to the great social problems and a lack of interest regarding various issues of everyday life such as politics. Similarly, this anthropocentrism leads to hedonism, in which we find ourselves in a constant pursuit of pleasure.
To reduce all these problems of identity, we fall into a sense of living day to day without worrying about the future and long-term plans. This uncertainty derives from the rupture of schemes; which in turn were systems (or a system) that provided a protection to the individual and made him feel safe. Therefore, it is somehow understandable that the individual chooses as a defense mechanism to give up a long-term planning.
Obeying the Taghoot
The modern Western state: A state without moral boundaries
We live in the era of ‘nation-states’ writes Meneses (2006:233). ‘In nation-states, especially in those that are democrat[tic], there is understood to be no excuse for a lack of allegiance to the government’ (Meneses 2006:234). The modern conception of the nation-state, governed by values, is foreign to Arab-conceptual thinking. The modern-state is characterised by self-rule (vs. foreign rule), religious freedom, democracy, egalitarian justice, territorially based citizenship and ethnic pluralism (cf. Meneses 2006:238). These democratic values are ‘secular values’ to which individuals and the head of the state are held accountable in a Western state. Western states have demanded loyalty to these identified ‘democratic norms’, and in so doing, have marginalised ‘religious norms’. The West has made a distinction between the secular and the sacred in order and to separate public from private norms and marginalised religious norms to the private sphere. Western democracy comes at a high price – that of undermining religious norms and direction.20 Secular norms are individualistic in nature while there are commonality between the norms of Islam and Christianity in that they are collective in nature and covenantal in reformed Christianity. One of the ways of addressing this problem is through the identification of a set of universal norms – norms which are contributed to by both the state’s ‘democratic norms’ and religion’s ‘moral norms’. Before there can be a common morality and ‘common norms’, both Islam and Christianity has to be clear as to what are the universal norms and to actively oppose the imposition of fundamentalist norms of a minority upon the majority

Rigged Elections
The Mubarak regime had embarked on a systematic crackdown on opposition groups and independent media, culminating in perhaps the most rigged elections in the country’s history. The results of the first round—returning 209 out of 211 seats to the ruling party—surprised everyone, including even regime officials hoping for a more ‘credible’ result. The old paradigm—of pushing for small openings from within—was roundly discredited.
Repressed Protests
The model, boiled down to its essence, is devastatingly simple: bring enough people into the streets and overwhelm the regime with sheer numbers. “No state can repress all of the people all of the time.” Once protesters reach a critical mass, the regime finds itself in a precarious situation. The use of lethal force can provide the spark for an embattled opposition, as on Iran’s ‘Black Friday,’ when around a hundred Iranians were killed on the way to their revolution.
Such a show of strength came at a price: nearly four thousand Brotherhood members were arrested. Yet, the international community was largely silent. Paying a high price, the Brotherhood learned its lesson. If that’s what happened when the world was watching, what about when it wasn’t.
