This religious duty of the Muslims has been an important economic artery of (Saudi) Arabia for
centuries and serves as a substitute for the tribute that the Prophet laid on non-Muslims to glorify the
Arab Imperialism.

What really makes Islam as the ambassador of Arab Imperialism is the fact that it demands of
non-Arab Muslims to follow the Arab cultural and moral lead blindly. How is it done?

This impossible goal has been made possible by the Divine Command that states Allah has
made Muhammad for every believer the model of Behavior, which he must follow to avoid the fire of
hell and qualify for the luxuries of paradise:

"You (Muslims) have had a good example in God's Messenger (Muhammad) for whoso-
ever hopes for God and the Last Day." (The Confederates, XXXIII:20)

In Islam, the 'Last Day' is the Day of Judgment when a person's fate shall be decided in terms of
heaven and hell: the basis of verdict shall be whether or not he or she has followed the Prophet as the
Model of Behavior. In simple language, paradise is meant only for those who believe, feel, think, walk,
talk, sleep, eat and drink as Muhammad did. We all know that Muhammad was a great Arab patriot
and practiced the Arab culture. Therefore, every non-Arab Muslim must adore Arabia like Muhammad
and adopt all Arab cultural, moral and spiritual values.

This is not a wishful interpretation, but is actually happening in all countries that lie within the pale
of Islam: this principle is the foundation of the Arab Imperialism, and it perpetuates itself through the
force of faith irrespective of whether the Arabs are politically ascendant or not!

Again, Islam or the Arab Imperialism is different from the Roman, Iranian, Turkish or British
Imperialism because it is not based on political or economic power but exploitation of human weakness,
emanating from instinctive fear of uncertainty, which makes man feel that he is drowning and must clutch
at a straw to survive, irrespective of how irrational this act might be.

By imposing dictatorship of faith on its followers, Islam has crucified their rational and inventive
faculties, leading to the degradation of their national cultures; this has become the major cause of their
backwardness, and all the evils that spring from it.

To assess the significance of the Battle of Badr, one must realize that had the Prophet lost it, the
doctrine of Islam would have been laid to rest along with the bodies of its crusaders. This little event, in
fact, proved to be a vigorous seed, whose branches spread into both the east and west. However, the
west checked its growth in the Battle of Tours. Such a great contribution has been made by this event to
the survival and advancement of civilization that I am tempted to continue it as part three of this article.
