Al-Shabab: Is this the return of Paganism as we know it or mere Coincidence?

[LayZie G.]

On the question of history repeating itself, George Bernard Shaw summed it up best when he said; "If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.", harsh but true, you would agree, yea?

 

The cheerleaders of the the youth movement or as they like to be called the Al-Shabaabs, have not only convinced among their circle but work tiresly around the clock to convince anyone within an ear shot that these boys, led by few men and their idols are fulfilling their divine calling and no one should stand in the way of that. The cheerleaders are convinced that this movement are immune to corruption and in fact go as far as arguing that they are not touched by greed for money or lust for power that may pave the way for future political ambition.

 

So, does this mean we are suppose to take their word for it? Are we suppose to just accept this as the absolute truth and hope and pray that they will be right and we will be wrong?

 

Are we suppose to ignore history and take the word of few unreliable, incapable human beings over the evidence of past events?

 

Didn't the Prophet's(peace be upon him) own companions fight among themselves for the way in which they can go about selecting a leader of the celestial empire and what steps should be taken in the event of his death? The bickering was evident long before the Prophet(peace be upon him) was laid to rest and it went on long after he was dead. He( prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him) fought the corrupt few, he got rid of the greed brought by merchants by turning it to do good for the poor, because he (prophet mohamed, peace be upon him) was getting rid of evil in hopes of building a celestial empire for the majority of muslims, only to resurface centuries later.

 

YOu might argue and say there is no evidence of paganism, not even traces of it returning, especially with the youth movement but if you are right, how do you explain the cult like mentality of this group? How do you explain the constant reference to their idols or the fact that they make no secret in sharing the original source of their decrees and how these groups discuss at length the admiration they have for few men, whom some have never laid eyes on. These very same figures that are described to the ummas, the true victims of this pagan cult, who are forced to submit to the calling of few humans, not asked, but forced to submit to this cult or face the consequences because they are supreme beings. The figures that those groups admire have been in hiding in the mountains between afghan and pakistan borders, near the pakistan tribal areas for a decade or more. Men who are hid from the rest of the world, whose death can not be confirmed one way or another but are seen by some as godly figures who deserve nothing but praises and worship, just as must of Arabia once idolized many gods. In the dates when Arabia was called just that, the ummas honored the long traditional of idol worship and continued from generation to generation because thats what they were taught to believe and the same goes for these ummas in southern somalia and the youth who brutalize them daily, because thats the word of Robow, so it must be true. It appears that this time, it has caught on, not in Arabia but present day South Somalia, in the horn of Africa. This alone should be alarming to most of you, if not all of you because as you know because similar figures were worshipped in some part of Arabia before Islam. In those days, pagan rituals were the norm, for some, it brought luck and for others it got them through praying through difficulties of everyday life. In other words, it was the order of the day to stop short a minute to bow to a stone, or a figure resembling one of their many idols if they were away.

 

Today, we can except the shabaabs to order various decree in the name of their supreme leader(s). To give credit first and foremost to the Robows of their world. But tomorrow, it may be actual figures, the sand, the grass, the waters, who really knowS?

 

This in itself is showcasing their animalistic instincts. To leave God and to give grace to a fatherly figure, the commander(s) of the savages and to oppose talks of any kind because of their allergies and the savagery traits they carry in their genes would not allow them to reason because they know anarchy and only anarchy will bring them that much closer pagan cult. The temptation is too much to ignore. They resist any and all ions, including civilization and modernization but is this the return of Paganism or just a mere coincidence?

Good post indeed there is something wrong with all these mad men. But what does it say about the nation that produced such monsters or gives shelter to such men?

^Lazy-I'm not well versed in deen (I mean indepth analysis of such complex issue), but I think you are throwing alot of charges without presenting sources or understanding implications. I do agree you with one thing you say though, whatever the cause is, man's ultimate goal is power, anyone who convince himself otherwise is just delusional. The question is will that power be used for good or evil.This is what differentiates good leaders from the bad ones.
