The Mohammedans have called the rise of their political influence over the past three or four decades “the awakening,” as if political Mohammedanism had been in a deep slumber and then awakened. What is meant here is political awakening, not religious awakening. It’s as if, before the rise of politics, they were more religious and closer to the spirit of religion than we see now in countries like Iraq and Syria. We see the opposite in countries like Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. Now, in the context of the so-called “awakening,” we see an increase in superficial religiosity and a proliferation of massacres, which has sparked a massive wave not only against politics, but against religion itself. The highest rates of aversion to religion are seen in countries and societies afflicted by this political phenomenon, such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf, and Afghanistan under Taliban rule. We observe the opposite in Turkey, which is ruled by a party with religious roots, but which has abandoned the imposition of an Islamic system and has largely adhered to Ataturk’s secularism, with an acceptable degree of respect for democracy. The so-called awakening is nothing but a lie that usually precedes death, that is, the death of the ideology of those who employed religion to achieve worldly goals, such as dominating power, as is the case in Syria, by controlling people’s necks and blood and claiming to possess the keys to heaven and hell, then their failure to solve the economic and social problems of the peoples, which are exacerbated by corruption and a lack of understanding of the mechanism of these problems, including, for example, the problem of reproduction and procreation. The necessity of the multiplication of mujahideen for reasons related to the invasion 1440 years ago, has turned into a catastrophe of reproduction and procreation in this era, as it is not possible to achieve an economic renaissance in Syria as long as the human growth rate remains at 3.2%, the highest in the world, while the economic growth rate is the lowest in the world. There is no country that lives on charity from the global community in the medium and long term as Syria lives now, which begs for the salaries of its employees from Qatar and other countries. There is no country in the world that practices this insistence on returning society to Salafism and to ruminating on the past and imposing rulings. The past centuries have affected the societies of the twenty-first century, as is happening in Syria and Iraq, for example. The issue is not only related to inevitable economic failure, but also the failure to preserve the state and its cohesion as left by Sykes-Picot. How many largely independent parts are there in Syria now? Here, we can talk about five states, such as the state east of the Euphrates, then the coastal state, the southern Druze state, the central Idlib state, and in the north, a Turkish statelet. We do not know how many states will increase in the future! It seems that the political Muhammadanism that afflicted the Assad regime before the Golani regime carries within itself the seeds of its own demise, and it also appears that the growth of these seeds is contrary to the movement of history. Here we must ask about the reasons for these societies falling into these difficult pitfalls, and what are the reasons for this backward tendency, which we saw in a clownish manner in the imposition of the Quraysh jalabiya on those who play football, as if the Quraysh were playing football, and can the current religious authority ban the wearing of shorts and T-shirts in the world? The scene we saw a few days ago was one of the most ridiculous, astonishing and clownish scenes, but it is possible to understand that when studying the development of peoples from the Stone Age to the present day. Humanity has gone through three stages in its development. The first was the stage of irrationality, i.e. the stage of superstition and myths. Then came the stage of rationality, i.e. the philosophy of the Renaissance and Enlightenment. Finally, there was the stage of science. Peoples do not pass through these stages simultaneously or in parallel. Between these stages, there were different time intervals. The Muhammadan peoples are now living at the end of the stage of superstition and myths, as expressed by an Egyptian sheikh, who claimed that plants hear verses and perform prayers. The yield of these plants, such as wheat, is significantly higher than the yield of plants treated with chemical fertilizers. In other words, religious fertilizer is superior to chemical fertilizers. In addition, the sheikh discovered that plants hear, and all that remains for him is to say that they also speak. There are many such superstitions, so much so that it can be said that superstition absolutely dominates the religious mentality. The division of stages of development claims that it is not possible to burn a stage of the stages, so societies must pass through those stages, and several societies have passed through them with clear variation, which led to a great conflict between the peoples representing the variation of the stages, like the conflict that we are living now between the stage of the Western and Eastern scientific age with the stage of Middle Eastern superstition, that is, the Arab region, which insists on the superstitions that we mentioned as a vulgar example of it.The German philosopher Hegel claimed in his book (The Philosophy of History) that the history of any people is not only determined by internal factors, but also by external factors, meaning that the fate of every people is linked to the fate of the entire world. It can be said that the external influence on the historical path of any people has reached its peak in our current era, the era of globalization, where the interests of countries are intertwined with each other, and any local problem is considered an international problem. The current example of this intertwining was Iran, which will be destroyed finally because it also wants to destroy the world or at least impose its conditions on it. The events in Iran were preceded by the events in Iraq. Afghanistan, the representative of civilizational intractability, happened. It is not strange that Syria turns into a second Afghanistan, after the source of lies and promises practiced by the current authority dries up for many reasons, including the existence of several authorities within the framework of Al-Jolani, which does not control the country nor control itself as an authoritarian unit. There are big differences between Al-Jolani and Abu Amsha or Abu Dajna or the Minister of Interior or others. Here we must allude to the fate of Hamas and the fate of Gaza with it, then the fate of Hezbollah and the fate of Lebanon with it, then the fate of the rule of the jurist governor and the fate of Iran with it. All of them brought disasters to the societies they controlled. Even the relatively moderate Erdoganism, hiding behind Ataturk, will not escape a fate like the Iranian, Gazan or Lebanese fate. The division of Turkey is possible, at least it is being talked about in political circles, as most major events begin with talk about them and alluding to them. Then it turns into reality, perhaps Turkey will fall at the hands of the Armenian-Kurdish-Alawite problem, and at the hands of the United Nations resolutions condemning Turkey because of the Armenian problem years ago. It seems as if Erdogan’s political era is nearing its end, just as the Brotherhood ended in Kuwait, and just as it will end in Jordan and ended in Egypt, and just as happened in Lebanon in 2009 when the March 14 forces triumphed over the Hezbollah movement, and just as happened in Marrakesh and just as will happen in Iraq and other countries in the region, such as Saudi Arabia, the leader in this regard. Fundamentalism is aware of all these transformations that will affect Syria whether al-Jolani likes it or not. Al-Jolani will not benefit from committing massacres, the concept of remnants, kidnapping women, bombing churches, or threatening French schools, etc. These actions are not an indication of strength, but rather proof of weakness. Weakness is forcing Christians to emigrate. Rejection is weakness, not strength!
