The world has to wake up to the stark reality and danger of political Islam. Right now, the Western world has either not realised it or they deliberately ignoring it. The result is what happened in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and is happening in Bangladesh. Islam in its present form is not compatible with the world’s progress and is, in fact, a great danger to humanity. But the nations are busy with money-making and merry-making while this cancer is spreading its tentacles slowly on every possible organ and institution. Even India and Indians, despite all the generations of cruelty, torture, and forceful conversions, have still not woken up to the danger. It needs courage and strong political will to take the strongest possible action to stem the rot before it spreads – it already has. Disintegration of Pakistan and implosion of Bangladesh are urgently needed to save India and the world. But both are being artificially supported and propped up by the US and China for their own puppet game. As for India, it is waiting for things to happen on their own, magically, without any proactive measures from our side. We wait for a divine intervention, whereas the Divine waits for us to offer ourselves as His instrument. Of course, as an average citizen, we can do nothing except raise our voice against the threat. But the government can do many things, but either they are planning some deep strategy or else just waiting for things to resolve on their own. Their silence and inaction is intriguing, especially since many things could be done even without engaging in full-scale war. Perhaps things are happening below the surfaces which are not being shared by the public. Whatever it be, one thing is certain: if the division lasts, if Pakistan and the Jihadist, Islamist forces continue to have their play, then India will not be able to rise to its full glory, and the world will be seriously crippled in its forward advance. Sri Aurobindo cautioned us.
‘But the old communal division into Hindu and Muslim seems to have hardened into the figure of a permanent political division of the country. It is to be hoped that the Congress and the nation will not accept the settled fact as for ever settled or as anything more than a temporary expedient. For if it lasts, India may be seriously weakened, even crippled: civil strife may remain always possible, possible even a new invasion and foreign conquest. The partition of the country must go,—it is to be hoped by a slackening of tension, by a progressive understanding of the need of peace and concord, by the constant necessity of common and concerted action, even of an instrument of union for that purpose. In this way unity may come about under whatever form—the exact form may have a pragmatic but not a fundamental importance. But by whatever means, the division must and will go. For without it the destiny of India might be seriously impaired and even frustrated. But that must not be.’

It is a package of political Islam that we need to reckon with and tackle. Turkiye, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh are only symptoms. Naturally, it requires the world, especially the USA, to come together and be sincere in the ideals for which it is supposed to stand. But as happened with Germany, US, in the process of finding its soul, has ended up mistaking its vital being and the national ego for its soul. One has to wait and aspire. It is the governments that have to call the shots.
