How Does the Post Colonial Establishment Maintain Control of the Muslim World In the Age of Imaginary Independence?
----------------------

Introduction - There is no Independence only a Neo-Colonial Secular Order
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the period of direct colonial rule over many of the Muslim lands when their was a gradual granting of 'independence', many Muslims believed the days of liberation from foreign oppression from disbelievers had come to an end and that now they could gradually build their countries and live as Muslims. This erroneous assumption was due to not understanding the nature of the conflict between truth and falsehood and Islam and kufr, as demonstrated by Quranic information and historical experience.

Indeed when the disbelieving nations abandoned direct rule over the Muslim lands, this was not because they wanted to allow the Muslims to live an Islamic way of life and neither because they had sought repenatance from their own aggression and plunder. Rather it was due to them having already engineered the social, economic and political conditions whereby they could leave the maintenance of their foreign interests in domestic hands, at least as a facade of domestic self-rule.

It should be remembbered in this context, that the original conditions which made possible the invasions and direct rule of the colonialists over Muslim lands was due to the neglect of the Islamic laws and beliefs in the Muslim world in the first place. They did not invade immediately but only after a gradual process of subversion and deteriation which took place over several centuries through a range of means. The numerous sub-causes of decline of the Islamic civilisation though is not our subject here, although understanding the current subject fully is impossible without this related study.

It is important to understand that when these colonial nations and secular anti-Islamic forces left the Muslim world, they had an elaborate process of control to take its place both by what they left in those countries and by what they continued to create globally in terms of organizations and mechanisms, open and hidden.

Without understanding this fact, Muslims today may make the fatal error of considering that working to establish Dar al Islam and revive the Islamic way of life is as simple as overthrowing one of the National governments that took the place of the once untied Khilaafah ruling system that politically united the people throughout the Muslim world. Indeed, the struggle to establish Dar al Islam today and to revive Islamic civilisation is not just a struggle against the tyrannical regime under which a Muslim finds himself. It should be realised that the former clonizing State has originally established foreign interests in the Muslim world and has then maintained these interests by a range of alliances, collaborations and schemes.

The playing field of the struggle between Islam and Kufr is no longer confined to isolated geographical regions but rather it has expnaded to the whole world, Muslims being present the world over and enemies of Islam being present the world-over.

We take the example of Afghanistan, where the Taleban managed to seize power in the 1990's attempting to bring about Islamic law. The Taleban among other Muslims, found that they not only had to combat the disbelieving forces in their own country, but were fighting factions supported by former Soviet occupiers and other than them. The former leader, recognised by the United Nations and pleading for their support had invoked the global oligarchy of secular powers to oppose any Islamic rule in the area. The global forces of secular media continued to oppose Islamic law for the region and eventually the previous colonialist Britain along with the new Imperialist and openly anti-Islamic government of the U.S.A. invaded with the assistance of dozens of European and Asian nations.

We also see the example of the F.I.S. in Algeria, who had won an electoral victory only to be then brutally opposed by the military regime supported by the former colonizing France and further indirectly supported by Britain who pursues Natural Gas interests through the mega corporation BP. The United Nations not being a tool of peace and national sovereignty but a tool of secular imperialism collectively agreed to do nothing despite its claim of being pro-democratic, despite the open support from France to crush the results of the electoral process.

The Muslims of Bosnia also found that there war was not just defended themselves against the Serbs but it was also the arms embargoes placed upon Muslims by Britain, and other European Nations who of course have Royal ties with the Serbs and whose supposed 'mediators' maintained economic interests in the former Yugoslavia, Lord Carrington [Mediator for the Balkans conflict] reportedly having ties to Serbian car companies. The Serbs were of course also supported by her long term ally Russia, so that the forces of anti-Islam orchestrated a situation where Muslims were disarmed while the aggressor Serbia was armed. However, when the efforts of the Mujaahideen looked like Serbians were in danger of losing the superpowers of the U.N. intervened so that a protectorate secular state could be established thus blocking any Islamic revival in the area.

These few examples make clear that any government in the Muslim world, even though labelling itself with independence is actually not so. It is only a mask worn to placate the ignorant and misguided nationalists. In reality the former colonizing State maintains an indirect control as do the other forces of the secular establishment via multi-national corporations, financial institutions, global political structures and other covert alliances. As soon as a reginon where the oligarchy has material and ideological interests is threatened, then an immediate process is activated where they will seek to enforce their will to ensure the continuity of their global order.

Below are just a few of the mechanisms of maintaining control of the Muslim world and its resources:-

Wars of 'Liberation'
--------------------
Allah (swt) says, “And they will never stop fighting you until they turn you back from your deen if they can. And whoever of you turns back from his deen and dies as a disbeliever, then his deeds will be lost in this life and the hereafter and they will be dwellers of the Fire. They will abide therein forever.” (al Baqarah 2:217)

The old colonial invasions have not stopped but carry on under new terminology. The Muslim world gets invaded in order to:-

i) Prevent the establishment of Islamic governance by which the world can see the supreme example of living Islam.

ii) Extract vital resources that foreign nations are dependent upon

iii) Set up new dictators, even by means of doctored elections in order to comply with the objectives of the invadin force

iv) Set up military bases in order to attack other regions of 'instability' (i.e. resistance to neo-colonization)

v) Send a warning to any attemtpting to overthrow a despotic regime that opposition to the global status quo of evil will not be tolerated

vi) Pretend that all of this occupation, theft and murder is actually a gesture of help and concern for Muslim populations. Thereby, outrageously using it as a political bargaining tool for the ignorant.

vii) Dismantling any infrastructure, economic and material progress which leads a country to economic and military independence or even competition with the neo-colonizing states. (We see this for instance in the gradual destruction of Iraq through regular bombing for over a decade in addition to the ecnomic sanctions, Iraq previously was relatively prosperous. We see also the same threat presented to Iran due to its economic independence due to Nuclear progress).

Support for Tyrannical Rulers
-----------------------------
Allah (swt) says “And thus We have set up in every town great ones of its wicked people to plot [liyamkuroo] therein. But they plot [yamkuroona] not except against their ownselves and they perceive it not.” (al Ana’m 6:123)

Tyrannical governments in the Muslim world serve the purpose of ensuring the flow of resources out of the Muslim world and enforcing the brutal, torturous and murderous measures to prevent the people establishing an Islamic system. At times of neo-colonial invasion, the puppet rulers also assist these large scale murders of Muslims by giving military and logistical assistance to the foreign disbelieving armies. So we see for instance that the invasion of Iraq although instigated by a Superpower against an impoverished country and third world condition army, took place with a coalition of over thirty countries.

Oil Companies & Other Mining Companies
--------------------------------------
Allah (swt) says "And when it is said to them 'Make not corruption on the earth' they say 'We are only making beneficial reform.' Verily they are the corrupters but they perceive it not." (al baqarah 2:11-12)

The industrialised secular establishment is totally dependent upon minerals, oil and its by-products which reside in the Muslim world. Through mining corporations and oil companies a secular elite can preserve its own life by a relationship which is just presented as 'free trade' and the 'open market'. However when the relationships are closely analysed we see that the relationship is not one of free trade but rather one of disproportionate influence followed by control then theft.

The Muslim world's oil is not controlled by its domestic populations, neither directly, not by means of genuine representatives. The resources are controlled by external agents and maintained by domestic accomplices who also derive a personal benefit for their treachery.

A oil company or mining company creates the impression of a government dealing with a private trader disconnected from foreign elites and interests of foreign governments but in reality, neo-imperial or neo-colonial nations are hand in hand with such corporations. This is such that if a corporation is not getting the price or co-operation necessary then they can call on the support of their ties to domestic government. The relationship between the Bush (Junior and Senior) presidencies, oil companies and the two major wars against Iraq are now public knowledge, , Bush Junior's Republican campaign benefitting from $48 from the petro-chemical industry, but often overlooked are all the other oil companies relations with government foreign military and financial policies. Exxon-Mobil which controls the largest oil-pharmaceutical refinery in America, in Bush's Houston-Texas, has operations thoughout the Muslim world (Chad for instance taking over from French oil giant Elf, though France maintains a military relationship with the dictatorial regime and has troops and other French citizens posted to ensure the benefit derived from its 'former' colony).

Due to the presence of its citizens working for such companies the foreign government has an excuse always to intervene in the country as well as conduct operations through its intelligence officials.

Help in Building 'Democratic Institutions'
-----------------------------------------
Allah (swt) says, “They intend to put out the light of Allah with their mouths. But Allah will bring his Light to perfection even if the disbelievers hate it.” (as Saff 61:8)

Building democratic institutions translates as building control mechanisms. Education, media, civlil liberties and other forms of social, economic and cultural influence are means of maintaining a secularist ideology in favour of the former colonizing power and its sister structures.

The Muslim world's domestic controlling elites all emanate from the American, British and other european run schools or they were 'educated' in those countries.

Freemasonry
-----------
Allah (swt) says “Verily najwaa [covert meetings] are only from shaytaan in order that he may cause grief to the believers. But he can not harm them in the least, except as Allah permits. And in Allah let the believers put their trust.” (al Mujaadilah 58:10)

The european colonialists such as Britain, France, Spain and Portugal did not colonise countries without also creating domestic political elites compliant with their own material and ideological interests. One of the main means to achieve this was by spreading covert fraternities such as Freemasonry to act as a cohesive between the former colonialist establishment and the domestic face of the colonised state and a cohesive to the colonised states various institutions. In France where the political establishment is dominated by Freemasonry after its masonic secular revolution against Monarchy, Church and religion the masonic fraternity was extended to its colonies in order to maintain an unseen link and give motivation for States to remain compliant, due to the fell of elitism. This process was spread even more so by Britain, whose own political, judicial, medical, military and law enforcement institutions are flooded with Freemasonry (one only needs to witness the masonic symbolism which saturate official buildings).

The separation of religion and State, which freemasonry targets is of course the opposite of the Islamic political viewpoint and so masonry with its deceptive rhetoric of 'equality, fraternity, liberty, relief' is ideal for misleading the public into a subverted masonic control while they imagine that the institutions work in their interest. In truth it maintains power for the few at the expense of the majority in secular system which have no fixed criteria of accountability.

United Nations
--------------
Allah (swt) says "And the disbelievers are awliyaa' [protectors, allies, supporters] of one another and unless you do so there will be calamities on the earth and great corruption." (al Anfaal 8:73)

The United Nations was set up as successor to the League of Nations after the second world war with the declared aim of preventing war and settling international disputes in a peaceful manner. The reality however is that the UN is a tool of imperialism and war for the superpowers and major european nations in the pursuit of secular ideological interests and economic gain.

Whenever a government such as the U.S.A. wants to initiate an invasion, then there is just a few procedures of legitimization taken through the UN. Similarly, the UN also justifies the blatantly oppressive measures by allowing five major powers the right of veto, that is immunity from laws they impose on others.

The united nations is also a method of gathering global resources and infrastructure to serve the goals of the secular elite, the UN possessing many organs of social, economic and political control.

These facts are continuously demonstrated by the UN's acceptance of Israeli aggression against Palestinian Muslims, and the UN's acceptance of the various invasions instigated by the USA.

World Bank/International Monetary Fund
--------------------------------------
Allah (swt) says, “Verily those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder (men) from the Path of Allah, and so will they continue to spend it, but in the end it will become a regret [hasrah] for them. Then they will be overcome [yughlaboon].” (al Anfaal 8:36)

The global financial institutions are a means of making mega-profits to fund global projects in favour of the global secular oligarchy. Their relationship with the former colonized states is that the countries become endebted to these financial institutions and then this debt becomes a means of political and social control over them. The bank can put conditions on loans such as the need to implement various social and education programs.

Humanitarian Aid
----------------
Humanitarian aid is some times a means of introducing spies into a country, more importantly however, humanitarian aid is a doorway to social and then political interference in a country. The downfall of the Uthmaani Sultaniyyah was assisted by the infiltration of groups coming in the guise of humanitarian aid. This was combined with infiltration of other groups for 'human progress' such as scientific associations, who claimed to be donating material progress. However, such groups would also pass views contradictory to the Islamic beliefs and laws and contradictory to the Islamic political viewpoint as a whole. We see this trend continued today with humanitarian groups, opposing the concept of Islamic laws and punishments and general social laws of segregation of the sexes. Christian missionaries and medical associations would also come claiming to provide medical relief or assistance to their own fellow christians, but this would quickly turn into covert propagation. We see this trend has moved on with military officials as well as the U.S. president in the recent invasion of Iraq openly declaring their support for missionary organisations.

The existence of the humanitarian aid groups also allows the governments of the countries where the groups originate to intervene for the sake of protecting their foreign nationals who have fallen into trouble in the countries they have travelled to.

Reconstruction after Conflict
-----------------------------
Allah (swt) says, “And let not their wealth or their children dazzle you in reality Allah’s desire is to punish them with these things in the life of this world, and that their souls shall depart while they are disbelievers.” (at Tawbah 9:85)

One way to extract resources from a country while simultaneously exercising control over infrastructure is to invade a country and destroy the infrastructure so that the invading coalition can rebuild it in its own image. Not only do they plan the new infrastructure to serve its own economic, military and ideological purposes but they are also paid by the wealth of the country they have made derelict. We see in the recent invasion of Iraq the ties of Vice President Dick Cheney with the Bechtel and Halliburton corporations who were contracted for much of the rebuilding of Iraq.

Multi National Corporations
---------------------------
Allah (swt) says, “Arrogant in the land and plotting evil [makras sayyi’i]. But the evil plot [al makrus sayyu’] encompasses only him who makes it. Then, can they expect anything (else) but the Sunnah of the Peoples of old? So no change will you find in Allah’s Sunnah and no turning off will you find in Allah’s Sunnah.” (Faatir 35:43)

Multi national corporations such as Nike, McDonalds, IBM, Microsoft etc hold such sway over the economies of Muslim countries that they can almost play a direct role in Economic policies. However, it is not only the cheap virtual slave labour and extraction of natural resources that multinationals benefit from in the Muslim world. The large corporations come with a whole advertising culture which contradicts the Islamic viewpoint, which serves not only to dismantle the social and cultural heritage of the Muslim world but which also helps to mould people's opinions in order to buy their products. Anyone who has been to Bangladesh, Pakistan and similar countries can not help to notice the dense crowds of poverty stricken and suffering people marching past the towering advertisements which occupy all directions. A dream is promised while the crowds are in a nightmare.

The Arms Trade
--------------
Allah (swt) says, "They fight not against you even together, except in fortified townships, or from behind walls. Their enmity among themselves is very great. You would think they were united, but their hearts are divided that is because they are a people who understand not." (al Hashr 59:14)

Although the disbelieving elites make alliances against the Muslim world they due to their own selfishness and interests disagree in methods of combatting the Muslim world and they often compete against each other for potential spoils. They compete economically and in other means each interest group like a wolf tearing away meat for itself. Abu Hurairah said, I heard the Prophet saying to Thawban, "O Thawban, what will you do when the nations call one another to invade you as people call one another to come and eat from one bowl? Thawban said, May my father and my mother be sacrificed for you. O Messenger of Allah! Is it because we are so few The Prophet said, No, on that day you (Muslims) will be many, but Allah will put weakness (wahn) in your hearts." The people asked, What is that weakness, O Messenger of Allah? He said, "It is love for this world and dislike of fighting." (AHMAD and in a version of ABU DAWOOD "...dislike of death.")


In order to keep a country weak and instable, European and American governments allow private arms manufacturers (who also supply those European and American governments) to supply conflicts with the necessary arms to prolong an internal conflict, sometimes this is indirectly achieved through an intermediary trading country which is outside the scrutiny of European and American governmental institutions.

This is also a way in which Euro/American government or the arms companies can test out their new military hardware, at the expense of Muslim blood which they see as the the cheapest.

The weakening of the infrastructure and resources of a country is not only restricted to internal conflict but it is also takes the form of supplying both sides in a conflict between neighbouring states. This is regularly seen in Africa and saw its most horrific long term example in the Iran/Iraq war.

Supplying such conflicts which lead to wide scale civilian deaths and destruction of infrastructure and services is also an excuse to enter the country for 'peace keeping'. Once this has been achieved, either through the former colonial State or via a collaboration of countries (such as the co-alition presently occupying Iraq subsequent to UN resolutions legitimizing the occupation) usually following an orchestrated UN resolution, allows a full process of control to take over, each national institution falling under the 'assistance' of the 'international community' (i.e. the neo-colonial establishment).

The arms trade, is also a reason to put a country in debt and further control it (not its puppet leader who never usually suffers, but rather its impoverished civilians) due arms trading barriers to supply of aid etc. This also highlights the need to involve an intermediary country in the trading so that the blame can not rest on the external country deriving benefit.
