THE FOLLOWING VIDEOS OFFER INTERESTING PERSPECTIVES ON HOW A NEW AGE OF ABANDONMENT OF FAITH AND RELIGION DAWNS IN THE WEST AND VIRULENT GENOCIDAL ISLAMOPHOBIA ARISES IN THE EAST. THE SECOND VIDEO LAMBLASTS ISLAMOPHOBIA ESPECIALLY IN INDIA AND CHINA.
THE SPEAKER ARGUES THAT THE AGE OF REASON HAS BEEN ABANDONED TO AN AGE OF FEELING OR DESIRE OR HAWA. THIS NEW IDEOLOGY IS DEFINING MORALITY AND ETHICS IN OUR TIMES IN A HI TECH ENVIROMENT. HE ADMITS A HUGE SPIRITUAL CRISIS IS ENVELOPING THE WESTERN WORLD.
HE REFERS TO MUSLIMS BECOMING WITNESSES TO THE TRUTH. SOMEONE SHOULD ASK HIM WHAT IS THE POINT OF BEING A WITNESS WHEN THE TITANIC IS SINKING? THE COMMUNITY IS BEHAVING LIKE A WORRIED RESIDENT ON THE TITANIC ONLY CONCERNED WITH THEIR LIVING ROOM AND UTTERING SOME WARNINGS INSTEAD OF GETTING OUT WITH LIFE BOATS.
IN THE SECOND VIDEO FOCUSSING ON INDIA AND CHINA THE SPEAKER DOES NOT RELATE THE CONCEPT OF HIJRA WITH JIHAD. MUSLIM SELF DETERMINATION IN THE MODERN WORLD CAN NOT JUST PLEAD FOR ASSISTANCE FROM OTHERS. THEIR NUMBERS ARE IN THE MILLIONS AND THEY NEED TO RE-ORGANISE TO RESIST AND DEFEND THEMSELVES. MUSLIM LEADERSHIP NEEDS TO RISE TO THE CHALLENGE IN INDIA AND IF NECESSARY THEY NEED TO CHANGE THEIR LEADERSHIP.
BUT WHAT THE SPEAKER FAILS TO ADDRESS IS HARNESSING THE CONCEPT OF HIJRAH TO MUSLIM HOMELANDS OR CREATE NEW ONES IF REQUIRED . HE IS COMFORTABLE IN DIGGING DEEPER INTO NONMUSLIM SOCIETIES AND IDEOLOGIES AS THOUGH UPHOLDING PERSONAL PIETY AND FAMILY VALUES WILL PROTECT MUSLIM IDENTITY AND SURVIVAL.
IN THIS RESPECT HE HAS FAILED IN OFFERING RADICAL ISLAMIC SOLUTIONS TO THE NEW GENERATIONS. THEY HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD URGENTLY AND DEVISE A NEW ISLAMIC SURVIVAL STRATEGY AS NOTHING ELSE WILL SUFFICE .
