WHY?

WHY?

Why were we ruled for a thousand years by Mohammedan invaders and for centuries by European colonists? Because for millenia we have been a trusting people, well-intentioned towards all but lacking in worldly wisdom that calls for righteous self-defence against evil instead of capitulating to it in the name of imagined good-reading of toxic philosophy, political thought that wears the mask of religion. And we have been terribly disunited, divided by narrow self-interest, and weakened by our massive ignorance of Christianity and Islam in their proselytising intent. We are a nation of much imagination and little learning even today. Hence, we suffer.
