Islamic World on Fire

The Islamic World is in turmoil since the time of colonial slavery. The colonial powers left behind a compliant ruling elite after granting independence, which followed the similar policies and agendas of the western nations. Today Muslim world is on fire and they themselves are to be blamed. This write up is an opinion on the situation.

Islamic World on Fire

TOTAL WAR: Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Qatar, KSA, UAE, Bahrain, Yemen; USA & Israel And Russia, Ukraine & European Nations

The Islamic World has been under severe conflicts and turmoil since last two centuries and they have been constrained and captivated in territorial boundaries after European Colonial rule. The colonial era designed, cultured, nurtured, developed and cemented internal conflicts between the new territorial nation states based on regional, ethnical biases and sectarian differences. The well designed and expertly executed game plan has now embroiled whole of Islamic world into senseless conflicts and war and the year 2026 is now witnessing the major portion of the "Islamic World on Fire". The global map of conflict is increasingly shaped by armed conflicts involving Muslims on one side or the other, or on both.

The "Islamic World on Fire" describes severe, ongoing instability across Muslim-majority nations, driven by geopolitical conflicts, extremism, and political turmoil, particularly in the Middle East. Key drivers include the aftermath of foreign interventions, economic weakness, and the rise of transnational militant groups (mostly funded by Western Agencies particularly USA).

Geopolitical Conflict: The Arab world faces heavy fighting and emergencies in nations like Syria and Libya, with heightened tensions resulting in war between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Regional Instability: Western Analysts and Muslim scholars describe the "House of Islam" as experiencing a "fire" due to arbitrary senseless created borders, weak governance (kingship or otherwise), and high dependency on resources (selling natural resources for buying arms and fighting with no ends).

During most of the Cold War, there was an increase in the number of ongoing armed conflicts worldwide, but the number decreased sharply after the fall of the Berlin Wall. This trend is even stronger if we restrict our survey to conflicts large enough to be classified as wars (more than 1,000 combat-related deaths in a calendar year). However; since 9/11 the conflicts involving Muslim countries have taken lead and today, it’s mostly the Muslim countries. Mohammad Usman Rana so aptly put it in "Aftenposten, ‘Islam’s house is on fire’; "This is not a ‘clash of civilizations’ between Islam and the West, but a ‘bloody internal Muslim battle over Muslims’ hearts and minds".

American Escalation and Military Mobilization Against Iran: Between Reality and Media Propaganda

Now let's read a write up from an Arab Sunni Scholar about War of Iran with Israel / USA.....

Since the 1979 Khomeini Revolution and the subsequent declaration of the Islamic Republic of Iran based on the doctrine of Velayat-e Faqih (Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist), US-Iranian relations have witnessed numerous misleading and perplexing political and security developments and interactions. This revolution was portrayed in the media as hostile to the West, America, and Israel, describing America as the Great Satan and declaring its support for the causes of the Islamic nation in general, and the Palestinian cause in particular. Simultaneously, several official bilateral meetings were held between American and Iranian political leaders to mitigate crises and address their underlying causes. Despite this, escalation and hostile displays continued, ebbing and flowing, like a tug-of-war between the two sides. This escalation and US military mobilization reached its current level of tension and hostility, with these meetings between the two sides intensifying from the Carter era through the presidencies of Bush Sr. and Jr., Reagan, Obama, Trump during his first term, and up to Biden and Trump. Currently, without any end in sight to this escalating tension, which has intensified during Trump's second term, and which has become a source of global and regional concern, fearing that this escalation could lead to a wider war in the region, affecting global security, stability, and peace, a review of the course of relations, developments, and interactions on the global and regional stage between America and Tehran since the Iranian Revolution reveals that this hostility is artificial, not genuine. This is because the Islamic Republic of Iran is a strategic ally of America, along with Turkey and Israel. Therefore, this tension and hostile escalation between the two sides is nothing more than media propaganda, based on understandings between America and Iran, to serve the current American political strategy internationally, regionally, and globally, under the pretext of the threat of terrorism allegedly supported by Iran. Domestically, it serves to maintain the cohesion of the American union by distracting and deceiving the American public with the threat of an external enemy represented by Islamic terrorism and the axis of evil led and supported by Iran. Furthermore, it serves the American regional strategy of ensuring the success of its current political project in shaping the future of the Middle East. The Middle East, by restructuring it into what is called the New Middle East, by fragmenting it into administrative cantons on ethnic and sectarian grounds, using Iran as a functional tool to ensure the success of this project, necessitates strengthening the Iranian political entity, represented by the Islamic Republic, by maintaining internal cohesion along ethnic and sectarian lines and rallying the population around its spiritual and political leadership, and preventing the fracturing of the Iranian home front. The idea of the Iranian Islamic Republic based on the Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist (Velayat-e Faqih) is alien to Twelver Shi'a thought, which revolves around the idea of awaiting the appearance of the Mahdi, son of Hasan al-Askari, the twelfth Imam of the Prophet's family. He will restore to the Shi'a, under the leadership of the Prophet's family from the lineage of Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib, their status and rights to the Imamate, which were usurped from them. He will avenge them against the Umayyads, the killers of Husayn, and correct the religious, intellectual, and political deviations introduced by those who usurped the Imamate of the Prophet's family. He will fill the earth with justice and equity after it has been filled with corruption and injustice. It is for all these reasons that this [project/initiative] was made. Manufactured hostility is essential for the success of the current US political strategy internationally and regionally. This is evidenced by the fact that the intensity of hostility is sometimes followed by periods of de-escalation and Iranian cooperation with the US, as happened during the era of George H.W. Bush. Afghanistan was handed over to the US in its war there, after being used to weaken and dismantle Russia, removing it from the international arena. Similarly, Iran handed Iraq over to the US during the era of George W. Bush, enabling it to control the Gulf and Saudi Arabia. Under Obama, the US gave Tehran free rein in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, using the Iranian threat as a tool to advance the American project of preserving US interests in Saudi Arabia, the Arabian Gulf, and Oman, and to liquidate the Palestinian cause according to the American political vision, within the framework of restructuring the Arab states in the region. Thus, it becomes clear that this American military escalation, the continued tension in relations between the US and Iran, and the emergence of hostility and political disputes between the two countries are not genuine, but rather manufactured and managed through understandings that align with the fact that the Islamic Republic of Iran is nothing more than a functional tool in the current US political strategy internationally. Regionally, we find that the more the war of words and military escalation between the two sides intensifies, the more sabotage and terrorism increase in the region. This escalation is always accompanied by a series of negotiations and meetings aimed at reaching agreements and forming alliances here and there. In the current circumstances, we find that the current military escalation and mobilization are under the pretext of preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear state. This mobilization and escalation are being used as a means of pressuring Iran to reach a nuclear peace agreement. Trump sent messages to Supreme Leader Khamenei in this regard, the first during the negotiations held in Amman on April 12, 2025, and the second on April 19, 2025. Amid this escalation and the accompanying negotiations, we find that the US military presence in the Middle East has been reinforced under the pretext of the escalating threat of war. In reality, this is not actually a declaration of war between America and Iran. Rather, this military escalation is merely a political maneuver with a military show of force, aimed at preventing a strategic political vacuum in the region that some major international and regional powers might try to fill. This political maneuver also aims to this political maneuver, a show of American military force, also aims to prevent Israel and certain major international and regional powers from gaining independent influence over American strategic interests internationally and regionally. It anticipates a popular challenge to the current American political strategy in the region, fueled by the rise of revolutionary Islam among the region's populations following the genocidal war on Gaza, the desecration of Palestinian holy sites, and the ongoing aggression against the Palestinian people and their property. Consequently, it is not unlikely that America will launch a pre-arranged military strike against Iran, provoking Iran to retaliate with a devastating attack on Israel and create chaos in the region. This would aim to topple some regimes, thus enabling America to begin restructuring the region's states. This scenario is not inevitable but rather a possible option, contingent on the suitability of the international and regional circumstances and the balance of power, both internationally and regionally, to allow America to control regional and global reactions. Based on this assessment, the American military escalation in the region and the heightened hostility between America and Iran do not necessarily lead to actual war, but may... This leads to a political agreement between the two sides, and therefore Trump gave Iran a ten-day deadline to reach an agreement.

Concluding Remarks

Some scholars describe the crisis in Islamic World as a "fire of ignorance" and a rejection of true Islamic knowledge. The Muslim World "slaved by internal strife and sold out ruling elite"; cultured and developed the "ideological" extremism as a solution to worldly backwardness and strengthened sectarian biases on war footing. The scholars' class from religion and science were produced from respected schools of thoughts; where poisonous deceitful literature were written and propagated vigorously across all conflict regions. As a result all sane arguments were lost and sane voices were silenced; alternatively Muslims neglected the real enemy of Islam and Muslims as described by Quran and got involved in infightings violently. Thus the Muslim countries saw the rise of violent, non-state actors with various level of support in masses. Therefore, the global map of conflict increasingly witnessed armed conflicts involving Muslims on one side or the other, or on both. The year 2026 is for sure a full of colours drama showing Muslim Lands on fire.

The True Muslim is supposed to be a person of wisdom and intuition; as he is considered to be blessed by divine guidance. However, Islamic world has seen absence of any such voice on decision making platform; because had the wisdom / intuition been available, this rise of conflicts on such a mass level would not have happened. It can therefore be said that the whole of Muslim World's leadership saddles have been occupied by ill wise persons (sans wisdom and divine guidance). Resultantly, all the Muslims are suffering from poverty, backwardness and lack of purpose in their lives (the purpose is clearly stated in Quran).

The 19th century was regarded as Pax Britannia ere which was dominated by Great Britain (UK) as colonist power, which engineered post colonial nation state Muslim countries. The British Raj also created fissure sects in many Muslim dominated lands like Indian Sub Continent by covertly supporting and elevating leaders of the sect as "Honourable Scholars and Leaders". The nation state Iran was handed over to King Raza Shah Pahlavi after WW-I and after the WW-II when Pax Americana was ensued, "Islamic Revolution" of Iran was secretly helped to spread "Shia" vigilante in the region and Iran-Iraq war was sponsored for the same reasons. The game continued to be played for four decades and None of the Muslim leader reflected any iota of wisdom to see the tactics employed by the real enemies of Islam. The "Divide and Rule" policy required the Muslim states to remain economically, politically and socially fragmented and weak.

Today, the Zionist Jews being led by European Rothschild, Morgan's and USA's AIPAC Jews are preparing for Pax Judaica; where the land of Jerusalem / Palestine will be bed rock of Anti- Christ (Dajjal) and for achieving that aim they wish and planned to have anarchy, disorder and chaos in all Muslim Lands. The leaders of Muslim countries are proving to be loyal lackeys of the Western World, especially USA and keeping all the morale and hope of common Muslims limited to survival only. Therefore, despite the fact the Islamic World is on Fire, not much protests and calls for action against the real enemies of Islam and Muslims are being waged any where in Muslim countries.

The time for Pax Americana has come to an end, therefore, the financial powers and strength of USA will be shifted to Israel and USA will be kept surviving as a military power so as to fight Zionist War against Muslims. The frightening truth of the shamelessness of Muslims' ruling elite is that many of them have allowed USA's military bases on their lands. Currently only two Muslim countries namely Iran and Afghanistan have such leaders who are not aligned with foreign masters. Therefore, the recent ignition of fire on these lands are actually for "Regime Change" so that fully compliant states are established as per the dictates and desires of Zionist Jews (USA is just a metaphor; not a state). As per a prophecy, Anti-Christ / Dajjal will appear in Iran with Seventy thousands Jews; therefore necessary arrangements are being ensured by USA / Israel and Western / European lackeys.

The last time the whole of Muslim World was raged with death and destruction by Mongol Barbarians. These days, its internal strife and communal infighting that is raging fire on Muslim lands. It’s an exact replica of what happened with the nation of Banu Israel.

Before the Second Diaspora (commonly dated to the Roman destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE and the subsequent Bar Kokhba revolt in 135 CE), the Jewish people were not a single unified nation-state, but rather a combination of a divided, struggling Judean states, fighting against each other with the help of non Jewish nations and powers. Some of them were actually actively seeking support from others non Jewish powers. Today, the Muslim nations are divided and fragmented with out any central authority in any sense and Muslim countries are actively engaged in various agreements and pact with non Muslim powers against each others.

The need of the time is to establish a "United Nations of Muslim Ummah" with no borders and all sea ports to remain open for sister nations. The Muslims are "One Nation" on the basis of single ideology that is to worship "One ALLAH" and follow "One Prophet Muhammad PBUH)" and "One Global Charter-ALQuran". The three basic fundamentals are enough for creating a common religious culture. YES, there may be different local customs, traditions and languages (not conflicting with religious fundamentals) freely observed, followed and celebrated. Let there be no borders and allow all Muslims to move freely with in all Muslim lands and with times to come, many similarities will emerge culturally as well, with Arabic as the common binding language.
