We live in a time where a man will get arrested for wanting the shariah in so-called muslim countries. It's really that bad
I mean I think every ethnic group has the people who will sell their fellows out for the foreign imperialists. I think it's what's holding the world back and allowing neo-colonialism. I assume probably there are Arabs who will sell out their fellows but- pretty much every ethnic group as far as I'm aware has such people.
My post was in response to someone who said Arabs are being targeted. I agree with him. I sometimes hear people say negative things about Arabs and it makes me angry. Most of the people at the masjid I attend are Arabs and I love them as my fellow Muslims. They are very kind to me and so when I hear people speak negatively against Arabs it makes me angry. I love my friends and I don't want to be disloyal to them.
As far as ethnic groups... when it comes to my own ethnic group, I have complaints. But people can complain when it's their own ethnic group- as I see it. But I try not to speak badly about other ethnic groups- although I do have a tendency to rant about Western imperialists. However, I detest the acts of imperialists because they practice imperialism- I don't care about their ethnic background.
In any case, I've said my thoughts and I don't want to overly talk about ethnic stuff. It is for good reason I think that people avoid such talk. As a Muslim, "my people" are my fellow Muslims- I don't care what their background is- whether they're African, Asian, Arab, European, etc. I hope that Allah removes every trace of nationalism from my heart.
Ultimately- definitely, struggle is taking place between Muslims and kuffar. I am happy that Allah has revealed Surah Al-Fatiha. Everytime that Al-Fatiha is recited, we have to remember- Allah is the Master of the Day of Judgement. No matter what fitna the future brings, we must not crack under pressure. I think we have to stay solid and hold fast to the rope of Allah no matter what the consequences. If things turn out great- wonderful. If things are difficult- we already have been told that ad-Dunya is a prison for those who believe. The time will come when holding onto Islam will be like holding on to... I believe hot charcoal if I remember correctly. I don't know if I can hold on to hot charcoal. But I have to do my very best. I want to do the best I can and I believe I have to think constantly of the Day of Judgement. I don't know what the future holds but I know I have to hold fast to the rope of Allah no matter what happens. When I was very young, I remember my cousins had a rope which hung from a tree. The tree was next to a ditch. It was fun! We used to grab the rope (one at a time) and jump- the rope would go in a circle over the ditch then bring you back to the land above the ditch. It's basically the same as when I was a child. I would hold on to the rope and the rope would burn my hand. But you absolutely had to hold on to the rope. Because if you let go, you'd fall into the ditch.
