Muslim Collective Sovereignty from the West

The UAE and Saudi Arabia are logically pressuring Egypt to take to to to adhere and to implement the structural structural adjustment reforms required by the IMF precisely because that will open up more opportunities for them to purchase, for example, some of the industrial sectors and the companies that are currently under the ownership of the army. This is what going all the way back to to to twenty twelve, twenty thirteen, one of the objectives always was to take from the army to to force the army to privatize all of the economic stake that they have in Egypt so that that could be bought by foreign companies, foreign investors, Western foreign investors. But as I say, The UAE and Saudi Arabia are doing the buying now, or they are anyway competing in the buying. And so they want more of that to happen in Egypt, which will give them more sovereignty, The UAE and Saudi Arabia, more sovereignty over Egypt, which as I said, I prefer that to to you being bought by the West. I think it's better for you because at least you have countries in the region, Muslim countries in the region who have a stake in regional stability and prosperity.

Mhmm. Whereas the West just has a stake in your slavery.

This is the key point here in having like, because they also in in in this question, there's also the another question embedded in it that that this this notion of complete independence.

Mhmm.

You know, like, how can we be, like, completely sovereign, you know. Mhmm. Sovereignty is a goal, but it comes to

a process. Well, see, and and and I mean, this actually becomes a very long discussion. We don't have time for it now.

Yeah. I'm

sorry. Yeah. No. No. It's okay.

No. But it becomes a long discussion because because then then you get into the issue of your delusional ideas about the khilafah, which your delusional ideas about the khilafah make you reject and be opposed to what's happening now even though that's the the actual basis upon which the khilafa was, you know, existed. In terms of, like, say, when we talk about Western economic imperialism, Western economic colonialism, colonization of Egypt through the IMF, okay, you're opposed to that. But you could you could argue, and the and the Kufar do argue that the expansion of Islam was colonialist, that the expansion of Islam was a colon that Islam was a colonizing force in Africa and in Asia and so on. We don't think of it that way because, of course, that's not what it was.

It wasn't the Muslims going there to steal your resources. But neither is this. If Egypt is coming under the sway of The UAE and Saudi Arabia, that's creating an Islamic block with centralized leadership, to some degree centralized leadership, while also being decentralized because you still have your government. If all falls under Saudi Arabia and UAE, and then there's connection with Turkey, you can have an Islamic block all the way from Turkey all the way to Morocco. If if you have if you have the the the the the geographic territory of the Ottoman Empire can be revived as an Islamic block under one, sort of economic, one one economic block, one sort of, economic strategy, sort of, more or less a central but consultative planning, strategic planning for the region, policy, governance, everything.

This is as close as you're gonna get to something like a Khilafa. Mhmm. And it's not that far away from Khilafa.

Yeah.

But you're mad about it. You don't wanna think about it because, number one, you have just a bias against Saudi Arabia. You have a bias against UAE or whatever. And because you have in your head this whole thing of nationalism and and our independence and, know, Egypt should be sovereign and what what have you. Yeah.

Okay. But but maybe you maybe your sovereignty is gonna be based on solidarity with other Muslim countries. Yeah. That's the basis of your sovereignty is by sovereignty meaning sovereign from the West Yeah. That Muslims and the Muslim world and Muslim interests have control over your economy, over your planning, over your country, over over your society.

You're part of a whole.
