Political vacuum and failure

  The knowledge, relationships, and mutual imaginations between the “community groups” in Syria and other neighboring entities are largely based on the most common and widespread collective memory, which is characterized by a number of different stereotypes, The stereotypes present themselves in a totalitarian guise or robe with a formal religious origin, so that it can be said that there are no social relations between people, but rather religious relations between them, and there is no society, but rather religion, and religion is imprisoned by its sanctity, and the prisoner is in a closed place. Therefore, closure has become a characteristic of these multiple groups, which live geographically for many reasons alongside each other as tribes and clans, and not socially with each other, as was the case and still is with the pre-state pattern or with the pre-society or state, i.e., with the tribe and clan.     The danger of this closed-minded situation lies in its being “castrated,” unable to reproduce intellectually or give birth to civilization, because it is bound by sanctity and imprisoned in its corridors and dens, Furthermore, the victim of this rigid conformity is only concerned with the afterlife, and therefore unconcerned with this worldly life, That is, they are preoccupied with heavenly eternity and unconcerned with earthly transience; this worldly life has no value to them, Consequently, they readily abandon this life, whether their own or someone else’s. Contempt for life does not allow for division or distinction, and a culture of death does not include a culture of life, All of this inevitably leads to an escalation of violence that destroys this worldly life and perpetuates the virtual life in paradise between the thighs of women. Then comes the withdrawal from dialogue and understanding, Violence is an inevitable result of contempt for life, as evidenced by the status of what is called “martyrdom” and the concept of “in the path of God,” as well as many other concepts such as the notion that man is predestined and not free, which means he is afflicted with a fatalistic paralysis, meaning he is not responsible, Regarding his actions and their consequences, and he is not bound by respect for the freedom of others, nor does the freedom of others define his freedom (Rosa Luxemburg), His sword, his absoluteness, and his decisiveness are the determinants of everything, meaning he is completely unrestrained, He seizes the territories of others as he wishes, kills as he wishes, and deals with others as he wishes, because he is better than others and because he is from the best nation, i.e., he is a narcissist. He allows himself to violate others, but according to the necessities that permit the forbidden, he sometimes hides behind God, who ordered him to plunder and loot others, their lands, and their money, as expressed in the promise that Ibn Abdullah spoke about regarding the treasures of Chosroes and regarding the daughters of the Yellow One and other things, such as what came in the Pact of Omar and the laws of the jizya, which have no equal in their ferocity and animality in human history, which knows occupations but does not know anything similar to the Pact of Omar, The sun did not set on the colonies of Britain, but Britain did not know anything similar to the Pact of Omar. The danger of the savage, closed, fatalistic, sanctifying, narcissistic Bedouin situation lies in other aspects, such as its transformation over time into an “instinct,” not only among the rulers representing absolute and eternal tribal leaders, but also among every individual, The individual has become, by nature and mentality, a tribal leader on hold, due to the presence of another leader who kills any competitor. The danger extends to the national consciousness and culture and to the national social bond, which has been destroyed by the personal, i.e., religious bond, because the religious bond is personal in nature, while the national bond is social in nature. There is no wonder in this kind of development among the peoples of the Quraysh or Ottoman Anatolian colonies, due to the times of the monarchical colonial period and the spread of the concept of Arabization since the Umayyad era in particular, and after them came Turkification in the early twentieth century. Turkification failed the Committee of Union and Progress and the Ottoman authority ended at the hands of Ataturk. In contrast, Arabism and Arabization failed after the failure of the regimes that were built on an Arab basis. The death of Arabism and its regimes led to a political “vacuum” that was filled by political Islam, which will inevitably fail not primarily at the hands of its enemies, but mainly on its own!  The failure of the Muslim Brotherhood is both expected and inevitable, due to several fatal factors in the Brotherhood’s political personality. Among these factors is the monopoly on absolute truth, derived from heaven and fixed, meaning it does not change and is therefore considered inherently dead. Absolute certainty is deadly, unlike doubt, which is life-giving, as Nietzsche said. Furthermore, the political Brotherhood’s orientation is contrary to the movement of history, and no movement that opposes history—that is, opposes the evolutionary nature of humanity, which knows no cessation of time—has succeeded so far. No method of governance adopted by the political Brotherhood has not led to the partial or complete demise of those who adopted it, Here, we can mention dozens of countries that failed based on the methodologies of the Muhammadan Brotherhood, and the degree of failure was directly proportional to the amount of implementation, The greatest failure, for example, was in Afghanistan, which coincided with the most extensive implementation, unlike countries like Malaysia, where implementation was practically nonexistent, while success was at its peak!
