Why can't muslims unite?

[Anonymous]

There are 2 billion muslims in the world and they let big governments torture other muslims. Why can't muslim countries unite and fuck israel, US, russia, china etc?

Been asking myself the same question. The major problem is that Muslims are not united due to cultural differences and sectarianism that disunites them. Shi'a, for example, are extremely oppressed by the majority Sunni sect. Sunnis would never unite with the Shi'a despite the fact that they're part of the same religion.

Even within the same country, there are disputes between tribes. Different tribes constantly war with one another and hate each other. If a girl wanted to marry a man from a different tribe she wouldn't be allowed and would have to run away with him in order to marry him.

One of the only places where different sects and religions are living relatively peacefully and equally together right now is Lebanon. Sunnis, Shi'a and Christians are living side by side in Lebanon but it took a civil war to get there.

Because Muslims face the same issues that "Black" people face, Asians face, Europeans face, and American Indians face.

They are not a race.

They are not a single culture.

The interaction they have with each other has lead to historical issues between different groupings.

Culture is the only meaningful difference groups of human being have between each other. And it is only through the negotiation of those differences can folks overcome these problems.

Numbers aren't the problem. The problem is that Islam is stuck in medevil times. Islamic civilisation is built on the accomplishments of the Greeks, Romans, indians and others with nothing added which is why it decayed in the 17th century until the crusader nations spainish, Portuguese, French, Dutch and British became their masters.
