Back
in December, 2024, when Syria was finally liberated from the terrible
Baathist—Alawite regime, I wrote: “Whoever the new Syrian
government is they would be wise to curtail the agency of the
minorities in that country, as the minorities naturally sided with
the brutal but secular dictatorship. An aggressive policy of
Sunnification is required for Syria so as to ensure that such a
situation of a heretical minority gaining power in that country is
never again repeated. And we know that the Nusairi so-called Alawites
were only empowered as a consequence of the policy of the French
imperialist in the twentieth century. As I have explained, the
heretical minorities naturally ally with the external enemies of
Islam as they feel it is necessary to secure their own existence and
prosperity at the expense of the Sunni Muslim majority.”
Now
since the fall of the Assad regime, Alawites and pro-Assad elements
in western Syria, particularly in the Latakia and Tartus regions,
launched an insurgency in which they have ambushed and killed
countless security forces of the new government and their allies. In
response to this terrorism, the pro-government security forces moved
in on the troubled regions to neutralize the Alawite threat. The
sectarian conflict reached its zenith in March, 2025, but has since
cooled down and law and order has been restored. Then in late April
to early May, 2025, the Druze stirred dissension in southern Syria,
rising up in open rebellion against the new Syrian government. The
Zionist State backed their Druze pawns and launched several strikes
against the new Syrian government.
All
of this demonstrates the lethal danger posed by heretical groups, the
Zanadiqah, such as the Nusayris (Alawites), Druze, Batinis
(Isma’ilis), etc. In Syria, the Druze and the Kurdish Marxists are
openly allied with the Zionist State, whose enmity to Islam and the
Muslims is not hidden from anyone.
Whereas
in the past God commanded, in the Torah and via some of the ancient
Israelite Prophets like Moses, Joshua and Samuel, the eradication of
various pagan nations from the Holy Land, in our time it is the
extermination of the Zindiq sects that is divinely sanctioned.
Yesterday it was the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites,
Hivites, Jebusites and Amalekites and today it is the
Alawites/Nusayris, Druze, Ismailis/Batinis, Zikris, Bahais, Yazidis,
Bektashis, Ahmadis/Qadianis, etc.
Certain
parts of the Muslim World today are more prone to the threat of these
and other heretical sects. The threat to the Sunni Muslims of Syria,
who comprise four-fifths of the overall Syrian population, has
already been laid bare.
In
neighboring Iraq, the Twelver Shi’ah, Rafidis who blaspheme against
the Prophet’s successors, wives and companions رضى
الله عنهم and
believe the Holy Quran has been corrupted, form the majority, about
three-fifths, of that country. Since the Americans liberated Iraq in
2003 from the Baathist regime of Saddam, the Shi’ite clergy and
Shi’ite religious parties have been totally empowered through the
ballot. Since coming to power, the Shi’ite dominated government of
Iraq, in coordination with Shi’ite militias backed by Iran,
effected an ethnic cleansing of Sunni Muslims from much of Baghdad.
Today, the situation of the Sunnis in Iraq is precarious, and they
have essentially been relegated to the status of second class
citizens.
Moving
east to Iran, the Twelver Shi’ites form the overwhelming majority
of that country since the Safavids beginning in the 16th
century imposed Shi’ism upon the Iranians who were once
predominantly Sunni. Still, about one-tenth of Iran is Sunni,
predominantly belonging to the Kurdish, Baloch and Turkmen ethnic
minorities. They have been sidelined and marginalized, particularly
since 1979 when Khomeini seized power and established Wilayat
al-Faqih—a Shi’ite theocracy in which the clergy govern the
country in the name of the mythic Twelfth Imam.
Further
east to Afghanistan, the state of affairs is significantly better.
The Taliban, or Islamic Emirate, have been in control since
liberating Afghanistan from American occupation about four years ago.
Despite considerable ethnic heterogeneity, the vast majority, about
nine-tenths, is Sunni. The Hazara community, a Turco-Mongol ethnic
group that settled in central Afghanistan centuries ago, are
predominantly Twelver Shi’ah. Historically, they have posed a
security threat to Afghanistan, but they were pacified during the
reign of the great Emir Abdul Rahman Khan, and by the original
Taliban in the 1990s. The restoration of Taliban governance ensures
that the Hazara Shi’ites remain under necessary surveillance. Yet
this community should not be underestimated. During Syria’s
devastating civil war, tens of thousands of Hazara fighters,
organized as the Liwa Fatemiyoun, had their entry facilitated into
Syria by the Iranians, and were used as cannon fodder to cause much
bloodshed against the Sunni Muslims.
Moving
north into Central Asia, the former Soviet Republics, while the
population is predominantly Sunni, many are only nominally so. Since
the early eighteenth century, the Russians had been conquering and
colonizing Muslim Central Asia. Thus, centuries of Russian colonial
rule, and then brutal Soviet repression, coerced the Turkic Muslim
peoples of Central Asia to secularize and become detached from their
Faith. When the USSR collapsed, the Central Asian Republics attained
independence but their rulers were former Soviet agents, part of a
Russified elite class who maintained the repressive atheistic
policies. In summary, the state of affairs for Islam in the former
Soviet Republics of Central Asia is quite dismal at the moment. While
there is not a problem of sectarian heresy there per se, there is an
equally if not more dangerous presence of secularists and atheists
whom the sincere Sunni Muslims have to contend with.
The
dynamics in Pakistan are radically different. Firstly, it has a
massively large population of about 250 million people. The vast
majority of Pakistanis are Sunni Muslims, but there is a significant
minority of Twelver Shi’ah, and other heretical sects like
Isma’ilis, Ahmadis/Qadianis, Zikris, Nurbakhshis, and a rapidly
growing number of Hadith-rejecters. Though most parts of Pakistan
Sunni Muslims are in the majority, there is one area where non-Sunnis
predominate, namely, Gilgit-Baltistan. This administrative area has a
crucial location, bordering China and Indian occupied Kashmir, and a
small population of about two million. Sunni Muslims are less than
one-third of the population, while two-fifths are Twelver Shi’ah, a
quarter are Isma’ili, and about six percent belong to the obscure
Nurbakhshi denomination. The sectarian demography of Gilgit-Baltistan
is concerning in light of active efforts by the Indian intelligence
agencies to destabilize the region. Non-Sunni sects and heretical
groups are easily manipulated by the external enemies of Islam and
foreign powers to cause a headache to the State and central
government. The manner in which the Zionists have made the Druze
their pawns in southern Syria could potentially be replicated by
Hindu India vis-à-vis
the Shi’ite sects in Gilgit-Baltistan. Already their are stirrings
of separatism in Gilgit-Baltistan and growing anti-State sentiments
among the non-Sunnis there. It would be wise for the Pakistani State
to revive the policy of the pious Zia-ul-Haq رحمة
الله عليه who
facilitated the settlement of Sunni Muslims into the Northern Areas
from mainland Pakistan, in order to dilute the native Shi’ites
there. As for the Ahmadis/Qadianis, a sect that believes in the false
prophet Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, since they were officially
declared a non-Muslim minority in 1974, the internal threat they
posed to Pakistan has been drastically reduced. Due to the passionate
efforts of the Sunni Ulama, the Pakistani masses socially boycott the
Qadianis and keep them in check. This has motivated the Qadianis to
covertly back social and political trends in Pakistan that seek to
secularize the state and society. The Qadianis remain behind the
scenes while employing useful idiots on their behalf to do the dirty
work of campaigning for secularity and actual secularism. Large
numbers of Qadianis have fled Pakistan and sought asylum abroad,
especially in Europe, where they lobby European and American
governments to go against Pakistan’s interests. Perhaps the most
dangerous flashpoint in Pakistan is the backwater province of
Baluchistan, where there is an ongoing separatist insurgency which is
increasingly using methods of terrorism targeting civilian settlers
from other provinces like Punjab. The Baluch separatists are rabid in
their hatred for the Pakistani State. They tend to have a Marxist and
secular outlook, despite some of them nominally professing Sunni
Islam. These Baluch separatists are openly supportive of Hindu India
and Zionism. They also have a soft corner for the heretical Zikris,
since the latter are “fellow” Baluch ethnics, and follow a
religious understanding that is indigenous to the area. This sect
should therefore be strictly monitored, and like Gilgit-Baltistan,
there should be a policy of aggressive Sunnification, through both
proselytism and settlement of conservative and loyalist Sunni Muslims
from other provinces.
Since
Hasina’s Awami League government collapsed in Bangladesh in early
August, 2024, the forces of secularism and atheism in that country
have been on the defense. Thankfully, Bangladesh is an overwhelmingly
Sunni Muslim country, though about eight percent of Bangladeshis are
Hindu. The Hindu presence is concerning since they would naturally be
more loyal to India and also fiercely opposed to the project of
political and cultural Islamization of Bangladesh. Nevertheless, the
lack of any significant presence of heretical sects means
Bangladesh’s transition to becoming more Islamic is potentially
smoother.
Like
Bangladesh, the Muslim countries of Indonesia and Malaysia are
probably lacking any significant internal armed conflict because the
populations are overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim with no significant
presence of heretical sects, particularly Shi’ites. There are some
New Age cults that are expanding their presence in Indonesia, and the
schools of Ulama there are generally liberal. The conservative and
traditionalist Sunni Muslims should look to Afghanistan and Pakistan
for strategies to wage the all important culture war against the
diabolical forces of liberalism, pluralism and feminism.
