Divide and Conquer: Muslims vs Islam: Volume One

Muslims today have been unable to apprehend the extent of the catastrophe they have been living under, or the utter betrayal through which the current leaders of the Arab world were able to attain power. For 1300 years, Muslims had lived under some form of consolidated Muslim rule, first under the Abbasid Empire, from 750 AD to the conquest of Baghdad by the Mongols in 1258, followed by the Ottoman Empire, until its collapse following World War I. The Muslims are entirely to be blame for their own demise, but it was not without some assistance from foreign powers, particularly the expanding British Empire and particularly their devastating strategy of Divide and Conquer. First in Arabia, the British instigated the notorious heretical Wahhabi movement to undermine the Ottoman Empire from within. In India, under the British East India Company, and then the British Raj, Wahhabi influence resulted in a quagmire of internecine strife led by the Deobandis, Barelvis and Ahl-i Hadith. These movements were part of a larger trend cultivated by British agents known as Revivalism, an open attack on the legal foundations of Islam, known as the Madhabs, which had long been protected by the "Closing of the Doors of Ijtihad." That agenda continues to further distance Muslims from the true basis of Sunni Islam in our time, through the most recent manifestation of the Divide and Conquer strategy, that of Salafis against Sufis, or Traditional Muslims, known as Wasatim, who provide accurate criticism of the other, in order to each recruit dupes to their respective deviations.
