There is no logic in the religious Arab tendency to invoke the past as a single, sacred entity, because its general framework is religious and incapable of development and adaptation to changing life circumstances, There is absolutely no logic in selecting the worst aspects of the past to be the ruler, the dominant force, and the colonizer of the present and future, such as the caliphate, the guardian jurist, the position on women, the objectification of man, the role of the Creator in appointing the guardian, caliph, or guardian jurist, then Sharia, and other outdated customs and traditions…etc.
The Arabs have distinguished themselves from other peoples in their wrong choices and their incomprehensible inclination towards evil and depravity, such as addiction to wars, then the practice of violence, racism, revenge, individualism, arrogance, and distancing themselves from objectivity, then falling into schizophrenia, double standards, and hostility towards the other, which is promoted in most Friday sermons, then the inclination towards exclusion, personalization, tribalism, and the model of a patriarchal pastoral society , etc., so that it has become difficult to challenge Ibn Khaldun’s description of them in his well-known introduction regarding the ruin that befalls wherever the Arabs go!!
Whoever does not want a total “revolutionary” break with the past must dig up this past, dismantle it, and discard what is unsuitable from it with complete impartiality and objectivity There is no benefit in falsifying and distorting the past, and the greatest benefit lies in the possibility of reconciling with it, Reconciliation is not at all with that past, but rather with some of its useful parts, which can be identified through digging, dismantling, and objective analysis, which does not aim to vilify the past, but rather to liberate it from the vilified, Digging up and dismantling is an intellectual, philosophical, and historical process of the utmost sophistication and necessity for moving life forward, in the present and the future,Digging up and analyzing the past serves it and raises its status and value, especially after getting to know it and being able to move away from its negatives and mistakes.
The past that wants to be respected must represent a process of mutual liberation with the present, The past that wants to remain necessary must get rid of the concept of “competition” with the present, because the present and the future do not reconcile with their rivals, who want to replace them, From the womb of competition, absolute “antagonism” may be born, which includes the rejection of all the past, or the past’s seizure of all the present and the future by violence, which at a certain stage becomes a manifestation of “antagonism” and difference, as happened between past-oriented fundamentalism and mature futureism in this region, which led to the depletion of all parties.
The core of the fundamentalist, takfiri, self-proclaimed, and self-enclosed religious thought is the creation of a culture of opposition, and consequently, a war on life. This core is rigid and incapable of creative interaction with the ever-renewing conditions of life, It is a violent, combative core that denies everything new, It is a core that has fought against time for 1440 years, and fighting against time means trying to eliminate the innovations that every era needs, Killing innovations means remaining in an old era as if nothing has changed in those centuries. Eliminating time is something that reason and history reject, and whoever rejects time and its circumstances places himself outside of history.
What has the world produced from the realities of the people of faith and the best of nations? Or what remains of the reality of those peoples after the erosion of their political, social, and economic structures, leading to a state of helplessness even in the area of food security, and then the success in building a submissive individual qualified for servitude and political and social desolation, and then falling into the trap of ignorance, superstition, and myth, etc.? Was the peoples’ treatment of these problems by running away and evading confrontation by resorting to conspiracy theories a success? Or was the rigid rejection of modernity, even to the point of self-hatred and self-loathing representing a culture of defeat, decline, suicide, nihilism, or a death wish a success? What remains in reality is coercion, the disintegration of social structures, then oppression, illiteracy, and savagery, There is not enough space to mention everything that remains, but the problem can be summarized in a question: Does the life of people in the countries of the region know anything positive? Even oil-producing countries will suffer from poverty, hardship, and backwardness after the oil runs dry, In the oil era, some peoples of the region, such as the Iranian people, experienced extreme poverty, until the value of the Iranian currency reached zero, despite the abundance of underground wealth, which made the state’s income very high while the individual’s income was very low to an unimaginable level.
The Iranian mullahs were characterized by the impoverishment and horrific enslavement of the people in order to survive in the era of conquests or what they called the era of exporting revolutions. They sold oil at low prices to buy weapons and to arm themselves with the intention of being able to seize several Arab capitals. After the mullahs became a source of failure and instability, they turned into a danger to themselves, their neighbors, and the global community, and it became necessary to destroy them. Israel, America, and other global and local powers destroyed them.
The outcome of the current war will be the destruction of the mullahs and the liberation of Iranians and their neighbors from fear and from conquests, i.e., the export of the revolution, Just as the Arabs lied about conquests when they claimed that their conquests liberated peoples, the mullahs lied when they claimed that it was their duty to export their revolution to liberate peoples, Their “revolution” was not a revolution, but rather the opposite of a revolution, The Supreme Leader does not revolt, nor does he advance or liberate, but rather he enslaves, kills, is religiously fanatical, and seizes four capitals of four countries in the region!
Anyone familiar with history will find that Persian scholars were the torchbearers who tried to illuminate the path for the Bedouin Arabs to progress,As a result, they were rejected and slaughtered because Bedouin culture neither absorbed nor understood them, Those who remained converted to Islam, and the characteristics of the Bedouin Arabs were transferred to their consciousness, The Arabized Persians turned against their Persian identity, just as the Levantines turned against their Levantine identity, the Egyptians against their Pharaonic identity, and the Kurds against their Kurdish identity, And so on… The mentality of conquest transformed into a mentality of exporting revolution, which knows no bounds for the entity of the Supreme Leader, just as the Quraysh Caliph knew no bounds for the entity of the Caliphate, Sectarian fanaticism was the common denominator among them, as it was in the days of Ali and Uthman, or Yazid and Hussein. Violence and death were their path to life alongside the virgins of Paradise, Failure and poverty were their end,There is a significant time gap between the Arabized Persians, especially after 1979, and the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula, who looted and plundered the conquered territories, while the Arabized, Islamized Persians looted and plundered the earth’s depths, And their oil, they all impoverished the people and robbed the people of the colonies of their freedom and money and imposed tribute on them, to the point that the mullahs of Iran implemented a financial system similar to the khums of war spoils during the days of the Quraysh Caliphate.
Despite the long life of the Quraysh Caliphate and the short life of the mullahs, failure to varying degrees was the fate of all of them, There is no doubt that there are differences between them, such as the differences between Sunnis and Shiites, and then between the princes and kings of the Gulf, who have become partially “Americanized” and still live in capitalist prosperity, and host millions of Arab and foreign workers, while we do not know about the Iranian financial system employing a single poor worker from among the poor believers from the rest of the neighboring countries such as Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan and others.
Comparing the Quraysh conquests with the export of what is called the mullahs’ revolution requires further refutation and analysis, which we will attempt to present in additional articles, In short, it can be said that the socio-religious structure in Iran has corrupted the lives of 100 million Arabized Persians, just as religious Arabism has corrupted the lives of 450 million Arabized Levantines, Egyptians, and others, The mullahs committed self-destruction akin to religious suicide, which was justified mythically by the continuous victory over life, i.e., by death or what they called martyrdom, Their death was necessary and a condition for the myth of the Mahdi’s appearance, What is the benefit of the Mahdi’s appearance when he finds those who await him dead? No mind can comprehend or understand convictions, beliefs, and myths that have no parallel, not even in Karbala!
