The English-language political of 'War on Islam' was coined in Islamist discourse in the 1990s and popularized as a conspiracy theory only after 2001. Has argued that the historical Muslim indifference to the West turned to 'alarmed dislike' with the beginning of Western military superiority in the 17th century. However, with the end of the era of Western colonialism, rage against non-Muslims and the governments of Muslim-majority countries stems not from alleged non-Muslim aggression and enmity, but allegedly from frustration over the unrelenting encroachment of mostly and Western culture, technology, economies, and from a yearning for a 'return to the glorious days when Islam reigned supreme.'
See also: and The most influential who have alleged a broad malicious conspiracy against the societal system of Islam are: Sayyid Qutb From the background of the organization and ideology, possibly the most influential Islamist author, often described as 'the man whose ideas would shape ', also preached that the West was not just in conflict with Islam but plotting against it. In his book, first published in 1964, he wrote: The Western ways of thought have an enmity toward all, and in particular with greater hostility toward Islam. This enmity toward Islam is especially pronounced and many times is the result of a well-thought-out scheme the object of which is first to shake the foundations of Islamic beliefs and then gradually to demolish the structure of Muslim society. Has described Qutb's attitude as one of 'radical contempt and hatred' for the West, and complains that the propensity of Muslims like Qutb to blame problems on outside conspiracies 'is currently paralyzing Muslim political thought. For to say that every failure is the devil's work is the same as asking God, or the devil himself (which is to say these days the Americans), to solve one's problems.' Among the early books following Qutb is Qadat al-gharb yaquluman: dammiru al-Islam, ubidu ahlahu ( Western Leaders Are Saying: Destroy Islam, Annihilate All of Its People) written by Jalal `Alam and published in 1977.
Ayatollah Khomeini Ayatollah, the Islamist leader of the 1979 and founder of the Islamic Republic of, preached that Western or sought to make Muslims suffer, to 'plunder' their resources and other wealth, and had to undermine Islam first because Islam stood in the way of this stealing and. Khomeini claims some of the alleged Western plots being not recent but hundreds of years old. Europeans have known the power of Islam themselves for it once ruled part of, and they know that true Islam is opposed to their activities. (.) From the very outset, therefore, they have sought to remove this obstacle from their path by disparaging Islam (.). They have resorted to malicious propaganda (.). The agents of imperialism are busy in every corner of the Islamic world drawing our youth away from us with their evil propaganda. They are destroying Islam!
Agents – both foreigners sent by the imperialists and natives employed by them – have spread out into every village and region of Iran and are leading our children and young people astray. Osama bin Laden From a perspective, emphasizes the alleged war and urges Muslims to take arms against it in almost all of his written or recorded messages. In his 1998 where he declared the killing of 'Americans and their allies—civilians and military—is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it,' bin Laden listed three reasons for the fatwa: the presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia, the increase in in following US-supported sanctions there, and US aid to. All these crimes and sins committed by the Americans are a clear declaration of war on Allah, his messenger, and Muslims. What bears no doubt in this fierce Judeo-Christian campaign against the Muslim world, the likes of which has never been seen before, is that the Muslims must prepare all possible might to repel the enemy (.). Every day, from east to west, our of 1200 million Muslims is being slaughtered (.) We (.) see events not as isolated incidents, but as part of a long chain of conspiracies, a war of annihilation (.). The West (.) will not be able to respect others' beliefs or feelings.
(.) They regard jihad for the sake of God or defending one's self or his country as an act of terror. Claims of proof for a 'War against Islam'.
Preaches the at the 'I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people of whatever, and, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends. I say this to those who are present, it meant also for those who are absent. Moreover, Christ commands it.' Islamic tradition and history According to scholar David B. Cook, a religious studies professor at, what some believe is evidence for the existence of the alleged 'War against Islam' is found in a popular, one that supposedly prophesies a war against Islam is the 'Tradition of Thawban' : The Messenger of God said: The nations are about to flock against you the Muslims from every horizon, just as hungry people flock to a kettle.
We said: O Messenger of God, will we be few on that day? He said: No, you will be many in number, but you will be scum, like the scum of a flash-flood, without any weight, since fear will be removed from the hearts of your enemies, and weakness (wahn ) will be placed in your hearts. We said: O Messenger of God, what does the word wahn mean?
He said: Love of this world, and fear of death. Cook claims that the idea of a Western war against the societal system of Islam is a belief 'at the heart of the radical Muslim and especially the globalist radical Muslim;' a factor 'binding globalist radical Muslims together.' Western supporters of the belief in ingrained Western hatred/hostility of Islam include historian, and -based novelist and author.
According to Savory, felt threatened by Islam and its march into Europe, (the Muslim advanced into Europe as far as northern France before being defeated at the 732; the Muslim attempted to conquer twice, laying siege to the city in and ), and thus became hostile to it. Alleged legacy of the Crusades Islamists who use this term often point to the and European, believing it to be an example of an attempt to destroy the Muslim way of life., for example, not only believed the West had 'a well-thought-out scheme the object of which is first to shake the foundations of Islamic beliefs,' but maintained that the medieval Christian Crusades were not 'a form of,' but rather Western imperialism was a new form of the Crusades, 'latter-day' imperialism in Muslim lands being 'but a mask for the crusading spirit.' Savory says: It is not surprising, therefore, to find a great similarity between the medieval view that it was safe to speak ill of Muhammad because his malignity exceeded whatever ill could be spoken of him, and the tone of nineteenth-century which exhorted the to abandon the false religion which they had been taught.
There were even echos of the old crusading spirit. When the occupied in 1830, they declared that they had in mind 'the greatest benefit to Christendom'. Similarly, solution to the 'problem' of the Ottoman empire was to bring it into modern Europe under Christian tutelage. When the French invaded in 1881, they considered their action a sacred duty 'which a superior civilisation owes to the populations which are less advanced'. And UK soldiers in Helmand province. Referred to the as a Crusade On September 16, 2001, President referred to the war in as a Crusade: 'This crusade, this war on terrorism is going to take a while.
And the American people must be patient. I'm going to be patient.' In contrast, historian points out that the Crusaders had strong motives to wage the Crusade other than the denigration of Islam. The lands they attempted to recover were the lands where Christianity was founded, including 'the holy land where Christ had lived, taught and died', and where 'a substantial proportion of the population. Perhaps even a majority, was still Christian', since 'not much more than four centuries had passed since the Arab Muslim conquerors had wrested theses lands from Christendom'.
Rather than the Crusades leaving a psychological scar passed down through the ages among Muslims, the Arabs of the time did not refer to the Crusaders as Crusaders or Christians but as Franks or Infidels, and 'with few exceptions', the Muslim historians of the time showed 'little interest in whence or why the Franks had come, and report their arrival and their departure with equal lack of curiosity'. Modern-day events.

In modern day, events alleged to be attacks on Islam include media portrayal of the religion itself and 'the '. Alleged conspiracies against Islam sometimes involve other Muslims who are accused of being. The believed that 'agents of imperialism', the term he gave to 'secular' pro-Western Muslims, were 'busy in every corner of the Islamic world drawing our youth away from us with their evil.' The 2005 were satirical depicting in a newspaper that led to protests and the burning of the and Danish in, and were seen by Osama bin Laden as part of the 'Zionist-crusaders war on Islam'. In an audio message, Osama bin Laden described the cartoons as taking place in the framework of a 'new Crusade' against Islam, in which he said the has played a 'large and lengthy role' and asserted 'you went overboard in your unbelief and freed yourselves of the etiquettes of dispute and fighting and went to the extent of publishing these insulting drawings.'
'This is the greater and more serious tragedy (than bombing Muslim villagers), and reckoning for it will be more severe.' Among others, 's blamed a 'Zionist conspiracy' for the row over the cartoons. The Palestinian envoy to alleged the party concocted distribution of Muhammad worldwide in a bid to create a clash between the West and the Muslim world.
Reception Reactions in the non-Muslim West to the alleged war have varied. Some Western political leaders have dismissed the claims of a war being fought against Islam as untrue, while also being sensitive to Muslim fears of such a 'war' and shaping some of their political statements and actions with Muslim fears in mind - including denouncing those who verbally attack Muslims. Other non-Muslims have argued that the truth of a religious war is the other way around - it being Muslims who are waging war against non-Muslims. At least one non-Islamist Muslim , has called the claim of a war on Islam 'paranoid'.
Reception in American politics. See also: Following Islamist terrorist attacks both President (following the ) and (after the ) made a point of stating that the US was not at war with Islam, instead saying that they were at 'war against evil' (Bush) and 'people who have perverted Islam' (Obama).
When Republican presidential nominee stated that foreign Muslims should to enter into the United States, until the administration can figure out what is going on, Republican Senator replied that 'Donald Trump has done the one single thing you cannot do — declare war on Islam itself. To all of our Muslim friends throughout the world, like the king of Jordan and the president of Egypt, I am sorry. He does not represent us.' Another reaction was that of The Washington Blade, a gay newspaper, which printed a full-page headline stating: 'To All Muslims: Trump Does Not Speak For Us.' , has also been accused of inciting a war against Islam, and has accused Muslims of being a ' here in the United States that needs to be dealt with immediately', and has called Islam 'a religion of submission', in contrast with the 'enlightened. Madiha Afzal of the wrote in August 2016 that Trump's allegations of an Islamic war on America were helping ISIS convince Muslims that America is at war with Islam. Reception in Muslim discourse.
See also: A measure of the strength of the belief that a non-Muslim power (the United States) is at least attempting to weaken, if not annihilate, Islam can be found in opinion polls that showed, as of late 2006/ early 2007, strong majorities — at least 70% — in the Muslim countries of Egypt, Morocco, Pakistan, and Indonesia, answering 'yes' to the pollsters' question: do you believe the United States seeks to “weaken and divide the Islamic world?” and write in their book Age of Sacred Terror: In the and, religious discourse dominates societies, the airwaves, and thinking about the world. Radical have proliferated throughout. Bookstores are dominated by works with religious themes The demand for, the belief that their governments are unfaithful to Islam and that Islam is the answer to all problems, and the certainty that the West has declared war on Islam; these are the themes that dominate public discussion. May not control or government, but they have occupied the popular imagination. The idea that the West is waging war on Islam has however been dismissed by many non-Muslims in the west., victim of a by Ayatollah Khomeini calling for his death, has argued that what Islamists have called a war of 'the west versus Islam' is more complicated. Islamists are 'opposed not only to the west and `the Jews` but to their fellow Islamists', an example being the fight between the and the Islamic Republic of Iran. 'This paranoid Islam, which blames outsiders, 'infidels', for all the ills of Muslim societies and whose proposed remedy is the closing of those societies to the rival project of modernity, is presently the fastest-growing version of Islam in the world,' according to Rushdie.
Western proponents of the 'War against Islam' theory. See also: According to, the conflict between Muslims and Westerners 'has its origins more in `the West` than in the House of Islam.' And can be traced to 'the poison flower of the Crusades, with their denigrations of distant cultures,' and other Western injustices. Proponents of this view often consider the with the accompanying, to be part of the war against Islam. Western colonialism in the throughout the 20th century is also regarded as such an attack by some. Citing, some Christian fundamentalists (such as 'Billion Bibles') allege that a war against Islam is self-defense because militant Muslims 'are waging war against us' and 'burn down churches, behead and/or massacre Christians in Ethiopia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Sudan, Somalia, Iran, Nigeria, Yemen, Kenya, Indonesia, Turkey, Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iraq, Mali, Malaysia, Bangladesh, etc.' Following the 9/11 attacks, one right-wing American website (Ayn Rand Institute) declared that 'politicians, the press, and academics have rushed to declare that this is not a war between Islam and the West.
Islam, we have been told again and again, is really `a religion of peace.` Perhaps the reason we have to be told this so many times is because it so obviously contradicts the facts.' See also. 'In recent years it has become the practice, in both western Europe and the Middle East, to see and present the Crusades as an early exercise in Western imperialism - as a wanton and predatory aggression by the European powers of the time against the Muslim or, as some would now say, against the Arab lands.
They were not seen in that light at the time, either by Christians or by Muslims. For contemporary Christians, the Crusades were religious wars, the purpose of which was to recover the lost lands of Christendom and in particular the holy land where Christ had lived, taught and died. In this connection, it may be recalled that when the Crusaders arrived in the Levant not much more than four centuries had passed since the Arab Muslim conquerors had wrested theses lands from Christendom - less than half the time from the Crusades to the present day - and that a substantial proportion of the population of these lands, perhaps even a majority, was still Christian.' 'With few exceptions, the Muslim historians show little interest in whence or why the Franks had come, and report their arrival and their departure with equal lack of curiosity. This was the age of Muslim weakness and division, and the Muslim world, in East and West alike, was being invaded by barbarians, both external and internal, from every side.' References.
