Egypt’s Turmoil A Matter of FAITH The Islamic Spring

Shortly before the big depression, in 1928, Hassan El Banna toyed with the idea of resurrecting the Islamic Empire in the same spirit of the Holy Prophet, of spreading peace and justice among mankind. Only in 2011, such realization harvested its early produce by Mohamed Moris reigning Egypt, Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey, Khaled Mashaal in Palestine.

After fourteen centuries of consecutive occupations and defeats, the majority of Muslims and Arabs expressed genuine concern about the constant Quranic reminder that Prophet Muhammad, despite his illiteracy and impoverishment, has brought to Mankind the most impeccable and most eloquent legislature, a body of laws that aids humans in choosing the straight path of the faithful, not the losing path of delusional minds.

In the fifteenth century, Europe had already learned and experienced about expansive missions of the Islamic Empire, which controlled major water crossings between Europe and South East Asia. Looking west and away from the Islamic center of power in the Middle East, the Europeans struck their greatest luck in discovering the New World. With its amble natural resources, England and France were able to build stronger armies and massive ships that latter enabled the submission of the Islamic nations to the new rising powers of Europe.
