The ummah has a lack of political leadership, and it has been this way since about the ~1920s, since the Arabs sold out to the Europeans thinking (King Hussein of Jordan) that the Europeans would play fair and give him the entire Arab dominion, from Mashriq to Maghreb, as his kingdom. But the sell-out traitor did not realize that the colonials are snakes and only serve themselves.

Ever since then, we have been in free fall politically, but we are slowly recovering. First we will kick Bashar out, then we will kick the Saudis out one day, and eventually, we may be able to reconstitute our political identity as a civilization.

Our Ummah has beyond a joke. We're a testing field for Westerners' new weapons, and we're the angel of death for one another so long it appeases our foreign masters.

You think colonialism ended -- but it is not so. The colonial never went away, he just rules us by proxy through a friendly, familiar Arab face. And it's not just the Muslim ummah, most of the world is subject to hegemony at the hands of Western corporate neo-colonialism. But the Muslims are the only ones with a collective, cohesive identity capable of resisting this successfully one day.

"We" are not easily manipulated into killing each other as much as our colonial puppets allow their tin-pot armies to kill each other, from Egypt to Libya to al-Jazeerat-al-Arabiyyah to Iraq to Syria to Jordan (Black September). But, again, times are changing.

You may have lost hope, but I am probably younger than you and I still see the grains of sand roll by as I see hope for our future on the horizon. No tyrant rules forever.
