Tribal and sectarian countries fall apart very easily and in most cases they don't come back together and even if they do they'll have a very fragile peace. I guess this is where Islam comes in but I dont think the Muslim world is ready to put aside differences and come together under an Islamic state.
Assalamu Alaikum sister,
The prophet s.a.w accepted and blessed all surrounding tribes but one, who where subsequently cursed (*)
The idea of tribal life has served the Arabs and Islam well as nearly all know that Asabiyya (nationalism) is Haram.
In the case of Libya they where nearly wiped out as a race by the Italians during W.W ii almost 85%.
It was their tribal life that made them hard to find and extinguish so obviously they still believe in it.
If the west leaves them alone they will Inshallah bounce back, one man can't seperate them from their history not even Gadafi.
North Africa still has thousands of tribes and many of them still refuse central government rule.
What's wrong with that ?
These states are not Islamic any way.
The French foreign legion plus the Spanish one tried with no effect to eradicate them.
How many Muslims today can say like those tribes that they are truly free but their alliance to Islam.
The persecution is still going on but where cameras and T.V crews can't go so we don't see but not all don't know.
Sadly even Muslims call these people backward just because they want to remain free.
Could we though sacrifice the luxuries in our lives to be free ?
Surely reliance in nature's offerings keeps one closer to Allah S.W.T than reliance on a Kafir state.
I personally am jealous of their Yakin.
May Allah S.W.T keep our hearts free.
Masalam
PS: (*)The tribe in qustion is the Bani Najd mostly todays Kuwait
