As long as Muslims were confident they could not be defeated, but now we are just puppets.
Islam is fixed, stable, ordered and disciplined, and so are Muslims.
Look at the Afghans, during the time of the Soviet invasion. They were among the poorest Muslims in the world, yet they were sustained by their faith in God, and God alone.
Likewise the leader of any state has to do the same, he has to enforce Shariah firmly, for he will be held in account later in the afterlife if he fails.
Laws are to be enforced justly but firmly, with an iron hand. This is the case anywhere, even in a family.
Islam's laws are fixed and that is why Islam is stable.
Islam is perfect, there is nothing to be added or changed.
Muslims must believe that all power, success and victory comes from God alone.
If my children do not behave according to Islam, if they do not pray for instance, I will punish them.
But the West is trying to weaken Islam from outside and inside. They attack our people and invade our countries from outside, and they weaken us from within with ideas like secularism, liberalism and democracy. This is all designed to contaminate our pure Islam.
But the weakness comes from these Westernised co-opted Muslim leaders who just want to look good in the eyes of the West and Western media.
Because Islam in its original form was tough and hard, not weak and pliable.
Arab leaders worry more about making money from the profits they get from oil and gas that they turn the other way when Lebanon is being destroyed right next to them. Their neighbours are being murdered, but they only make calculations for their own benefit.
Oil wealth has been a curse on us, made us weak and docile.
But the leaders of the OIC could not even accept Mahathir's proposal, yet they talk about respect and honour.
