"but there is something called muslim brotherhood."
What muslim brotherhood? There never was one.
Muslims couldn't wait till the prophet died to kill the half of the 'rightly guided' ones. Right after the prophet's death, arab muslims revolted and had to be brutally crushed by abu bakr. During the crusades, muslims routinely aided the crusaders against their fellow muslims. Muslims lost sicily becuz the amir of sicily invited kufur normans to defeat his fellow muslim rivals. Muslims invaded and destroyed moorish spain in 900s becuz they disagreed with kind of Islam the moors practiced.
In all throughout Islamic history, muslims have been bickering and fighting among themselves. Not even the existantial threat posed by kufars persuaded muslims to unite.
Besides, are you emplying muslim brotherhood somehow will embetter muslims? If so, how?
The West surpassed the muslim world while they were divided. Whether it was religious wars or imperial competition, the West was not united while it overtook the Islamic world.
So history can demonstrate you don't need unity to achieve supramcy. What for, then, for muslim brotherhood? What good will it bring to the muslims?
Its another illusion that muslims have been brainwashed to believe. All your problems are becuz of disunity. While there is no evidence that unity brings prominance or it is even possible since there was never a muslim unity. Magical thinking does wonders![/quote]
Muslim brotherhood as i said earlier is a mystery for you because you are not a muslim, the bonds are there, its not something magical.
So what if muslims slaughter each other, you are right muslims have only been united for a brief period of time, unity is not = to brotherhood.
For example closeley related somali clans from the same forefather routinely kill each other, big deal, it doesnt mean that they are not family.
Yes unity is not the panacea of all the ailements of the muslim ummah,
but it can be a start.The problem is that unity is not possible without freedom and democratic rule within muslim countries.
Muslims have to understand that the people have to be free to make choices, they have to be in charge of thier own destiney, and that while they are ruled by Kings, Shiekhs, Amirs, Sultans, Presidents for life
they will always be handicapped and downtrodden.
