Set the Malign to Fail the Benign

By Khalid AlKhaja

My pious readers,

   It is common knowledge and natural that some national and religious minorities feel insecure and distrustful in their surroundings. However, the national and religious majorities can also feel insecure and distrustful, because of the misery of its past or its lack of solid principles and its sense of threat from stronger alien principles capable of undermining its control. The greater the sense of insecurity, vulnerability, and threat, the more extreme minorities or the majorities will be in defending their existence and control.
    This book examines the state of mistrust, hesitation, fear, and weakness in the collective psychology of the Western Christendom, which deservedly leads the world and its reflection on its political personality. The book also examines in detail how political Islam (Shiite and Sunni Islamists) has failed to deal with Western Christendom's hesitant policy in the region.

   And the outcome is...the loss of humanity.

Dedication

My favorite number is 32, so I dedicate this book to the future generations of 2132 and 3132. I apologize to you for the mess created by our generation, for not investing better in humanity, and for all the opportunities lost due to our actions.

You are probably looking down on us as we look down on those who practiced slavery before us. You are probably wondering how someone could be so blind in not pursuing what benefits mankind, just as we are wondering how could the previous generations have been so blind in practicing ugly slavery without remorse.

I beg you not to trash the past, but to honor it, as you would have probably done as poorly as we did if you were with us, just as we would have probably practiced the ugly slavery if we had lived in the time of those before us.

There is a blind spot for every generation, and you are probably having one of your own. You're probably walking past an atrocity committed by you without even noticing. Try to discover your blind spots and uncover atrocities that you could be subconsciously committing.

Perhaps I need to translate this book into Arabic, as I am not so sure if English will still be the language of humanity in the year 3132. 

Acknowledgments

I would like to thank my friends who always encouraged me to write. I would also like to thank my wise editor, Mr. Bill Smart, for his patience, guidance, and insights.

Bless you and your loved ones.

About the Author

Dear Reader

This book is about cultures and how they shape the political identities of different nations.

This study is not about being critical, but it’s about being self-critical. It’s not about ordinary people but about institutions. It sheds light on our good and bad practices, strengths and weaknesses, threats and opportunities. This is a step towards becoming a strategic, learning, and competitive nation able to play smarter and score better results in the ever-lasting global competition. May the fairest and most just win.

While reading, remember that Bernard Lewis defined Christendom as:

...the entire civilization shaped by the Christianity religion but includes many elements that are not part of that religion or maybe hostile to that religion, but nevertheless, arises within this civilization. One has to say that Hitler and the Nazis arose within Christendom, but no one could say that they arose within Christianity. This is a distinction that is important to bear in mind.

Accordingly, in this article, Western Christendom refers to the entire Christian civilization, but not Christianity as a religion nor its peaceful followers.

Furthermore, I don't demonize people, as I believe people are good and intend good, no matter how strange they look to us. So, this book does not judge people or their intents, but it judges their decisions and actions. People could act evil, even if they intend good. That’s why you will fail if you expect this book to give you an opinion about people and their intentions, but you will succeed if you expect it to give you an opinion about their decisions and actions.

Please bear this in mind.

Introduction

Those seeking salvation in Islam (the right path) must first seek admission to the University of Islam. The application form for this university is in Chapter 1 of the Quran. The first and most important condition for admission to the University of Islam is the sincerity of intent and integrity. The students then need to complete the approved curriculum successfully, unconditionally, and orderly, being the other 113 chapters of the Quran. In return, the University guarantees you the right to question, research, and constructively criticize the curriculum within the limits of reason and honor, as the angels and Prophet Abraham (ﷺ) did with the Creator the Almighty when they sincerely and respectively questioned the wisdom in his creation of mankind and how he revived the dead as in the following two verses:

And [mention, O Muḥammad], when your Lord said to the angels, Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority.’¹ They said, Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we exalt You with praise and declare Your perfection?’² He [Allah] said, Indeed, I know that which you do not know.’"

~ Quran, Chapter 2, Verse 30

And [mention] when Abraham said, My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead. [Allah] said, Have you not believed? He said, Yes, but [I ask] only that my heart may be satisfied. [Allah] said, Take four birds and commit them to yourself.¹ Then [after slaughtering them] put on each hill a portion of them; then call them – they will come [flying] to you in haste. And know that Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.’"

~ Quran, Chapter 2, Verse 260.

After admission, the students begin their onboarding program with the first class of the first course, Chapter 2 (Al-Baqarah), Verses 1 to 5. During the onboarding program, Verse 2 confidently reassures the sincere students of the integrity and the perfection of the university and its adopted curriculum, while the other skeptic students are challenged with the best of wisdom as follows:

This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah.

~ Quran, Chapter 2, Verse 2.

Then, Verses 3 to 5 introduces the students to the attributes and behaviors necessary to successfully search for the straight path. Verse 3, in particular, says:

Who believe in the unseen, establish prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them.

Faith in the divine unseen knowledge is a behavior that develops the necessary sense of reality and disbelief in the impossible. Simply, Islam does not believe in the impossible but believes in the divine unseen knowledge. This behavior moderately and rationally unleashes students’ perceptions and imagination. It also emphasizes the need for patience while acquiring knowledge, as there will always be certain facts that remain hidden in a universe that is continuously expanding at the speed of light. The curriculum deals only with the principles and pillars that act as a guide to the straight path (the fundamentals). The absence of certain sciences, such as cosmic facts, should not prevent the student from practicing things that will benefit him and his society, such as praying and giving out alms. This attribute emphasizes that a student seeking the straight path should be patient, calm, balanced, useful, constructive, and not troubled, puritanical, hurtful, and destructive.

Similarly, I am sure that this book does not answer all questions that could come to the mind of my pious readers, although while writing, I have done my best to put myself in my readers’ shoes and answer their possible questions. But I am confident that the study has adequately covered the fundamentals, which are the most important. Fundamentals are our yardstick that enables us to answer our own questions. I simply beg you to be patient while reading and trust that your questions will be answered before you carefully finish reading the book for the second time. If not, I will be pleased to address all your questions. After all, the first revelation of the Quran mentions twice the word ‘Iqraa’ which means read or recite, as in Chapter 96, Verses 1 to 4:

Recite in the name of your Lord who created, Created man from a clinging substance. Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous, Who taught by the pen.

My dear reader, I know that you are right, but you could be wrong, and I know that I am wrong, but I could be right. So, stay beautiful as usual!

The Unceremonious Generosity

Why did they leave so generously and unceremoniously?

Because they never did. One doesn’t leave by "generously and unceremoniously" serving cheese on a mousetrap. Does he?

Basically, It is their strategic partnerships that eliminated the Western-Western competition and enabled them to transform their older military presence into a new, soft, human, smart, knowledge-based, legal, and invisible form. The new sexy look allows Western Christendom to remotely continue the Crusades, exploiting the world and weakening its competitors without leaving a trace. It allows them to dominate the foolish game (a toxic and destructive competition) without jeopardizing the reputation of the West and Christianity, using the following smart tools:

"Set to fail the radical and over-ambitious, or the foolish-in-mind."

"Act as a fool."

Paradoxically, evidence shows that these smart tools can’t guarantee success. These tools are smart but could often become pharaonically over-smart and fallible. Unlike a proper strategy, the long-term effectiveness of such tools (policies) is not as wished for. Understandably, this must be quite disturbing to Western Christendom.

Don’t be puzzled, be patient and allow me to explain the history of failure of these tools by elaborating on the following three case studies, where the "radical over-ambitious were set to fail" to indirectly harm an enemy and/or weaken a competitor:

The "radical over-ambitious" Zionists of the Jewish world.

The "radical over-ambitious" Islamists of the Islamic World.

The "radical over-ambitious" Hindus of the Asian world.

But, before examining the above three case studies, let us better understand the above-mentioned smart tools.

The First Smart Tool

Set to fail the radical and over-ambitious.

جدم الغشيم و الحقه

It’s a famous proverb that means, Let the fool lead and follow him. It’s a set to fail the radical over-ambitious strategy, or better yet, set the malign to fail the benign. In other words, let the radical over-ambitious lead and take the bullet on your behalf; or better yet, help your radical over-ambitious enemy or potential competitor to lead, knowing he will be subconsciously strengthening you by weakening himself or others.

It takes well-funded centers for strategic studies and research to identify and invest in the right "radical over-ambitious, and if he did not exist, to foster one. Ignorant, fractured, damaged, and volatile minorities are normally the best radical over-ambitious" types that a competitor could wish for. The collective psychological structure of such minorities is founded on complexities and not dogma, as it appears to be. Such damaged minorities feel severe fear of conspiracies against their very existence that often makes them suicidal and ready to be triggered and blown away!

Indeed, it's commendable how Western Christendom has mastered the use of these tools, but I commend more those very few third-world countries who have mastered the art of dealing with it. Hats off to both.

The Second Smart Tool

Act as a fool.

الكيل بمكيالين

It’s another proverb that means double standard, or in this case, to conveniently act as a fool, just like Mr. Fuji’s foolish referees.

Mr. Fuji’s Referees

Mr. Fuji was presented to the world as a corrupt Japanese WWF wrestling star who entertained many of us back in the 80s with his salt trick. I will never forget our cook sarcastically saying with a smiling face, Here comes the salt man, every time Mr. Fuji walked his way into the wrestling ring. Honestly, our uneducated cook was not the only one who knew that Mr. Fuji was hiding some salt in his underwear to sprinkle into his opponent’s eyes whenever he was losing. Mr. Fuji never failed to carry some salt, and the referees never failed to fail to notice his salt. Basically, those referees could conveniently see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil. It was really frustrating to watch Mr. Fuji fooling all the referees and using the salt trick against the good guys without being caught. Rest in peace, Mr. Fuji.

Indeed, it's commendable how Western Christendom could conveniently "act as a fool and miss the obvious and the ugly reality. Napoleon Bonaparte said, Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." Hats off!

So, you may rightly ask, my dear reader, are there enough historical pieces of evidence to back up the above claims? Can you prove that the "set to fail radical over-ambitious and act as a fool" are not simply another conspiracy theory adopted by the jealous to target the successful?

Of course, we can prove it. We simply need to look back into recent history, spotting such "radical over-ambitious who were successfully set to fail and how act as a fool was conveniently used by Western Christendom to let the radical over-ambitious" do the required ugly deeds.

There are three reasonably obvious examples in recent history, and they are covered in the following three case studies.

Case Study 1:

The Radical Over-Ambitious Zionists of the Jewish World

Were the Zionists Jews generously and unceremoniously set to fail as a "radical over-ambitious" minority by Western Christendom to tarnish Jewish reputation and weaken the Islamic competition?

Until the early modern period, Jews were looked at inferiorly by the Christians in Western Christendom. Historically, Judaism and Christianity have failed to coexist in the Holy Land of Jerusalem. In the last 1,000 years, Western Christendom subjected the European Jews to different sorts of abuse, discrimination, and elimination. Such clashes between the lovers and the killers of Jesus Christ (ﷺ) were unavoidable. Please refer to the article link on the next page titled Relations between Jews and Non-Jews, written by Antony Polonsky.

Belfour the Anti-Semitic

Then on November 2, 1917, the United Kingdom Foreign Secretary, Arthur Belfour, issued a Declaration to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland, an organization that was brought into being by Theodor Herzl in 1897, announcing support for the establishment of national home for the Jewish people in Palestine, that had a small minority Jewish population. This harmony between the lovers and the killers of Jesus Christ (ﷺ) was abnormal and unpredictable.

Interestingly:

In 1896, Theodor Herzl wrote in the preface of his book Der Judenstaat (The State of the Jews): Everything depends on our propelling force. And what is our propelling force? The misery of the Jews. This sounds like radical and Creative Anarchy rhetoric!

Arthur Balfour acted anti-Semitic when he promulgated the 1905 Aliens Act to stop the immigration to Britain of Jewish refugees fleeing the vicious anti-Semitic pogroms in the Russian Empire.

Edwin Samuel Montagu was the only Jewish member of the cabinet headed by David Lloyd George to which Belfour belonged. During a meeting in 1896, Montagu promised Herzl to cooperate with him in his quest to establish a Jewish state that is tolerant of its non-Jewish surroundings and remains under the sovereignty of Turkey (the Ottoman Empire). See page 48 of Theodore Herzl's book, State of Israel, published by Dover Publications, Inc., New York.

Yet, Montage considered the Balfour Declaration anti-Semitic. In a memo to the cabinet, Montagu considered the declaration a tool to free (cleanse) Europe from Jews and wrote:

I assume that it means that Mahommedans [Muslims] and Christians are to make way for the Jews and that the Jews should be put in all positions of preference and should be peculiarly associated with Palestine in the same way that England is with the English or France with the French, that Turks and other Mahommedans in Palestine will be regarded as foreigners, just in the same way as Jews will hereafter be treated as foreigners in every country but Palestine.

Hence, isn’t it safe to question Jesus Christ (ﷺ) lover’s decision to generously and unceremoniously offer support to the killers of Jesus Christ (ﷺ)?

Zionism

Zionism is a secular nationalist ideology that exists to support the return of Jews to the promised Land of Israel. The borders of the Land of Israel are defined based on the Old and the New Testaments. Different interpretations of the biblical verses have made the border a disputed topic among the Christians and Jewish Zionists. But the most radical borders of the Land of Israel include Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt, and the entire Arabian Peninsula. Obviously, this involves a quite radical change to the geopolitics of the Middle East. It’s no wonder why the Belfour Declaration was issued to the radically over-ambitious Zionists and not to Montagu.
