Reasons led the fall of Ottoman
Empire
Multiple factors generated a vital role in the fall of
Ottoman Empire, one of the most power empires
for several centuries.
Historians say that one of the reasons
broke the back of this great Empire pushing it on way of decline was the block,
led by Christian countries, that put this Empire under its constant attacks,
invasions, sedition and conspiracies to crush the Empire that had enlightened
the West and Europe through its Islamic teaching and moral values abolishing so
many old and inhuman traditions and culture were common in Western and European
society at that time.
After recognizing the factors of the
decline of Empire, the efforts were made to address all the mistakes but it was
proved too little too late. And finally, this great Empire collapsed completely
after years of insurgency, invasions, attacks, lack of Islamic system, and
growing the threat of emerging groups in various territories of Ottoman Empire.
Endless wars and violence in Muslim
countries
Since two world wars ended, a series of
wars, violence and conflicts have been taking place in Muslim countries or,
where the Muslims live in majority. Establishment of Israel, Arab-Israeli-wars,
Suez war (1956), wars in Somalia, Iran Iraq war, massacre of Bosnian Muslims,
Iraq-Kuwait-war, Iraq wars, Gulf war, Afghanistan wars, 9/11 attacks, Terror
campaign, Sudan war, Islamophobia, bans on building of minarets, bans on
wearing veil, Gaza wars (2008-2009) Muslim prisoners in Guantanamo, and finally
a long war on terror and illegal drone attacks throughout the world are all
related and tied to one aim.
Who are behind these wars and
violence?
There were certain blocks, at the time of Ottoman Empire, who did not let it to exit and live safe,
secure and free from violence.
This time, when the era has advanced, the
blocks are same, though faces have been changed; way of work has been
moderated, slogans, thoughts, terms, ideologies, targets and the way of destruction
have been revolutionized.
In past, Muslims had been making intensive
efforts to keep their borders, citizens, resources, territories and regions
safe and secure averting invasions and conspiracies.
In 21st century, Muslim
countries climate is same with little bit changes. In past, they failed in
quashing such blocks even they collapsed; in present, the scenario is same
without registering any remarkable move.
The supreme aim behind these plots
The target was very clear. The aim was
evident. The purpose was the destruction and ruing of peace in Muslim countries
without giving them a single opportunity to take their power back or pose any
threat to others.
These aims were same when Ottoman Empire was under constant invasion by the block.
The same aim dominates this time too. Muslim countries' resources, economic,
political circles, their culture, religious identities are under extreme
occupation of the same block.
There have been intensive efforts for
decades for not allowing Muslims and Muslim countries to live in peaceful
climate and they do think about development and growth.
Certain powers of the world do not want to
let them free to live and grow in calm environment that is why after ending an
issue: a new unrest, a new campaign and a new propaganda to be generated to
encounter them. This conspiracy was exited when Ottoman
Empire was in power and its borders had been expanding. The same
attitude stands this time, because there is no logic to drag Muslims, Muslim
countries into trouble humiliating Islam, Qura'an and their messenger,
irrigating Muslims religious sentiments.
The supreme aim was to make Muslims
defenseless, desolate and down-and-out from being a strongest nation in the
world.
Muslims' intensive efforts to get rid from
the influence of the same bloc did not show significant result till now.
Peace is necessary for development
Development, growth, education,
innovation, reformations and offering peaceful environment to generation so
that it is able to demonstrate its god-gifted skill are tied to peace, calm,
harmony and stability in countries political situation.
If Muslim youths have been lagging behind
in education and in other sectors, or Muslim countries unable to offer stable
governments to their citizens, it's men peace does not exit there. Wars,
violence, ethnic conflicts and political uncertainty are shattering their
dreams and are not allowing them to concentrate on their future's target.
The same environment played an active role
in shattering the foundations of Ottoman Empire.
Wars, insurgency and threat from certain quarters dragged it to the way of
collapse.
What the way out
Though conspiracies always been hatched,
enemies always tried to shatter the foundations of Muslim countries, the
efforts always been made to wipe us out from the map, the Muslims, holding
precious Islamic heritage that taught the world a lessen of humanity and human
rights, still dominates in the world, Islamic traditions still exit here that
is why, I say, there is no way out for Muslims except following the way of
Islam because all roads bound to fall and decline. Others may get success on
moving in same track, but for Muslims, there is no way except Islam because
this religion and its teaching are for all and for everyone. It removes
injustice, corruption, ethnic and color slogans, establishes justice, peace and
offers solution to all problems Muslims have been facing and trying to remove
them through imported culture. But the million dolor question is who will
accept it especially when worldly technology influenced them?
