The sect in general, represents a parasitic structure that has no rights over the individual or the stateو The subject of mutual rights is limited to the individual and the state, and each has a right over the other and a duty towards the otherو The parasitism of the sect over the individual and the state is due to the fact that it offers the individual nothing but the material of discord, enmity, betrayal, and then excommunication of the other, and it offers the state nothing but the material of fragmentation and demographic and geographic division, The sect, in its Eastern Mediterranean political form, is a state within a state, and thus a material of continuous political exhaustion for this state, It is also a material of material exhaustion, as the costs of building thousands of places of worship, for example, are enough to build hundreds of universities and hospitals, The sect, by its nature, is sectarian, selling the individual a superficial affiliation that leads to the destruction of the national affiliation that is considered subordinate, and leads to infighting between sects, which leads to conflicts and wars that may destroy the state.

The state that can progress and offer something positive to humanity is a pluralistic socio-political state with a contract that is subject to development and change, Sectarian entities or sectarian affiliation that parasitizes politics are not suitable for change and development because, in the eyes of those who believe in it, it is sacred. A citizen’s affiliation to a sect is superior and destructive to national affiliation, A citizen’s affiliation to a political party is a subordinate affiliation and forms the foundation upon which the nation can be built, The superiority of sectarian affiliation is due to its sanctity, which does not accept being placed under national affiliation, which is not sacred and is subject to change and replacement, National affiliation is optional, meaning that a person can choose the nation he wants, unlike sectarian affiliation, which is considered a forced and compulsory affiliation, and apostasy from it is a crime punishable by death.

  The culture of freedom and freedom of choice is overthrown in groups with sectarian political affiliations immediately after birth, From birth onward, a religious affiliation is determined as an innate characteristic, which the individual must live by, All other aspects of life are then appropriated by religion and its rulings, even the economy, food, clothing, and even a handshake. This is exemplified by Mr. Ahmed al-Sharaa’s behavior towards the foreign minister of a European country sent by the European Union, or the governor of Mosul’s treatment of an EU envoy who brought aid to the devastated city after ISIS attacks, We should also mention Erdogan’s behavior towards the head of the European Union, when he refused to offer her a chair during her visit to Ankara, All these actions, and many more, were rooted in religious ideology, because religion possesses the individual and their nation to serve it, As one of the leaders of the recent Syrian uprising stated, the citizen exists to serve religion, not the nation, and the nation’s role is to serve religion. Furthermore, internationalist religion does not recognize the concept of the nation, because, according to their beliefs, the nation is an idol, and serving or worshipping idols is the ultimate goal. Religiously forbidden.

All of the above represents a kind of neo-colonialism, which prevents the growth of independence and prevents the maturation of the practice of freedom and responsibility, It encourages dependency and destroys rationality by eliminating the need for it, Religion has always nationalized human behavior in its finest details, meaning that the human being is filled with religion and there is no space in his mind and being for anything else. So what is the need for reason, will, and the formation of a special consciousness for the individual human being! In this case, the human being turns into a religious colony with conditions harsher than the conditions of any other human colonization.

The political sect represents a continuous state of separation from the political society of the state, and a continuous readiness to threaten a deeper separation when it does not achieve what it wants of hegemony and the occupation of the human being, The problems of this human being are exacerbated when there are multiple and contradictory colonial sectarian entities, Then the homeland is completely abolished and turns into partial entities that usually fight with each other, Instead of one law that is applied to everyone equally, these entities are subject to different rulings that are hostile to each other, which leads to the conflict of the parts within the one state, which then becomes a formal, crisis-ridden and constantly anxious entity,The people here lose the characteristic of society and turn into peoples, groups or tribes living alongside each other, not with each other cooperatively, but contradictory and hostile, This situation represents a pre-state condition, or a state of sectarian mini-states, which are covered or concealed by a veil of sermons of tolerance, coexistence and false love.

What is the point of all this when a person is a citizen, and national belonging represents the highest form of belonging, and when religious affiliation remains a private matter without social and therefore political depth? Religious affiliation is inherently personal, and because it is personal, it lacks socio-political depth, Consequently, social conflicts based on personal religious affiliation do not exist, There are no social conflicts based on religion in advanced societies and countries, The conflicts here are political, and political positions are not sacred, so they are relatively easy to resolve, On the contrary, we see that conflicts between groups that have cloaked politics in the garb of religion require patching up any crack or disagreement between the different garbs with additional tools such as thinning the skin of tolerance, affection, hypocrisy, and lies, like claiming brotherhood, They commit massacres against those who are religiously different and then describe those who are religiously different as “our people,” as if it were someone’s duty to slaughter their own people or others,Sectarianism causes the deadly disease and then offers the medicine that caused the disease in the first place!
