I don’t think anyone will disagree that western interventions, fueled by certain western governments desire for geopolitical gains, is a major cause behind much of the turmoil in certain muslim countries.

But at the same time, why are we constantly seeing these power struggles between different fractions in muslim countries? Whats the root cause behind that?

If the US provides certain groups with weapons in Iraq or Syria or wherever, why are those guns, bombs and tanks always turned towards our own people? Why the slaughtering and butchering? Why these constant power struggles? Why can’t sunnis tolerate shias, and vice versa? Why are we more inclined to condemn Israeli atrocities against the Palestinians than we are to condemn TTP’s butchering of our own people?

Why are we intolerant toward those who are different than us? We need to find the root cause of these issues.

Because we have left Islam …
Because we have love for the dunya
Because we have fear of death
Because of those western governments sticking their fingers between the faults lines in Muslims and prizing them apart … They are dividing us also, don’t believe this is not on their road map

Looking internally about how we can love each other more is vastly different to how this thread began … which is about inspecting ourselves for extreme elements and altering or rejecting or blaming Islam for it. That is what KK Shahid wants …
