Bedouin culture was transferred to the consciousness of these peoples through the gateway of conquests and the gateway of religion, which was also affected by it, and consequently became a practitioner and promoter of it, The influence of religion on Bedouinism fell in the Saqifa, for in the Saqifa the concept of “the nation” fell, which was supposed to be the alternative to the concept of the tribe or clan, The tribes and clans did not turn into something resembling a single nation except in one field, which was the field of war, captivity, and plunder.

 The Bedouin characteristics were not innate, but acquired through the influence of the harsh desert environment on the desert inhabitants, an environment that does not allow for the practice of the duality of production-subsistence, due to the inability to produce in the barren desert, which is difficult to transform into agricultural land and thus to settle in the place, i.e., to establish cities, This led to reliance on the duality of plunder-subsistence, which over time turned into a “heritage” that is still dominant to this moment under the name of corruption, violence, tribalism and dictatorship, Did not the barbaric julanism deception insist on considering Syria a continuation of the Umayyads?

  Given the scarcity of the arid desert and the harshness of the environment, the Bedouin found in the new religion an organizer of the dilemma of obtaining the necessary sustenance to cover the costs of life, Sustenance came under the shadow of spears, Instead of each tribe or clan practicing raiding on its own, they united under the umbrella of religious conquests outside the desert, They raided, then stole, plundered, and enslaved, Under the rule of the fifth, the spoils of the raid were divided with one-fifth going to the leadership and four-fifths to the mujahideen, Can the spoils and the division of the stolen goods be considered jihad in the path of God? Is considering spoils permissible and pure in any way ethical? Is it correct to consider the saying that whoever dies without thinking of raiding has died with a branch of hypocrisy? Is it not shameful to consider all of that as a completion of the virtues of morality!

The history of invasion in the Arabian Peninsula is older than the history of religion, Religion was a continuation of the Bedouin invasion, and it was a sponsor and contributor to it, Rather, it can be said that the culture of pre-Islamic invasion was documented by religion, whose influence was limited to providing the unified banner for the invaders and legitimizing what they did, The period between the birth of the islam and the first invasion under the new banner was so short that it allows for doubt that the mujahideen fighting under the banner of religion were not really followers of the religion with certainty, but rather followers of the Bedouin plunderers (Saraqino), which the religion organized and encouraged and turned their individual practices into collective practices, That is, it contributed to consecrating the invasion by unifying the invading tribes and diverting the goals of the unified invasion outside the Arabian Peninsula under the name of conquests and jihad in the way of God.

   The goal of the invasion outside the island was the rich, fertile regions such as Mesopotamia, then the Nile Valley, the Levant, and others, They chose the fertile regions not to work in agriculture, for the invaders did not know the culture of work! Rather, they encroached upon others and practiced harsh and brutal taxation, which impoverished the peoples of the conquered colonies. The culture of work and production was nonexistent among them. Unfortunately, they were only men of the sword, theft, and plunder (Saraqino).

 They established a military regime in the colonies, which contributed to the Arabization and Bedouinization of the peoples under their control, The rule was Bedouin, and the ruler was an absolute, oppressive, Qurayshi Bedouin,They implemented this through various means, including forcing people to change their religion, language, and values, They occupied minds as well as strongholds, They were obsessed with rapid population growth, which enabled them to secure a sufficient number of fighters,Initially, they relied on others for administration, but they maintained control of the key positions in the power structure. The decision-making power was theirs alone, They did not integrate with the colony inhabitants, and the colonists had no role other than providing services, paying tribute, and providing captives and slaves, They learned nothing of value from the inhabitants of the conquered territories, What could the conquered peoples learn from them other than violence, warfare, domination, the collection of tribute and taxes, and the Bedouin customs and traditions imposed alongside the new religion? And alongside the new language, by the sword.

    Bedouin characteristics were imposed, and thus Bedouin culture prevailed, Previous civilizations such as the Sumerian, Greek, Roman, Persian, Pharaonic, and others disappeared. The peoples who invented the alphabet and the plow stopped creating, as the atmosphere imposed by the invaders was not compatible with creativity, It was an atmosphere of obstacles, prohibitions, and restrictions, Thus, by looking at the region, one can confirm that the wheel of progress and development stopped, The Levant turned into a functional desert, and the inhabitants of the Levant turned into Bedouins without a desert. That is, development forward did not only stop, but there was
