Conspiracy of Clash of Civilizations and teachings of Hadrat Sultan Bahoo

A lot has been written about clash of civilizations especially over the last 3 decades and mostly by prominent academics and intellectuals. We will enlighten this topic with teachings of Hadrat Sultan Bahoo. Portraying it more as a prediction rather than a reconciliation manual. The ironic thing is that when analyzed in detail and scrutinized on facts and figures, it becomes very obvious that the factual basis is very thin for a clash between civilizations to happen naturally, as it is being shown that it is a natural happening phenomenon. the most prominent among those writers who wrote about the clash of civilizations is Samuel Huntington and Bernard lewis.

If someone would have informed me that those books are written by post-cold war generals and policymakers, who went out of a job after the cold war finished, I would have easily believed so. Because both the writers have painted it with biased and prejudice colors.  The main purpose was to keep the western mainstream public ‘s mentality in a constant state of war. Namely that the cold war is finished but we have a bigger clash awaiting us hence to justify the oppression. Samuel Huntington’s essay about the clash of civilizations first time appeared in the journal of foreign affairs in 1993 and later on developed into a book.  The publication of this essay in the journal of foreign affairs is evident enough about t its importance to the policymakers. According to these writings, the most primary conflict would be between western and nonwestern civilizations, i.e Islamic and Confucian. Towards the end of Huntington’s book he offered a solution that what the west must do to keep other civilizations weak and keep their dominance over them,  the following is from his book.

The west must exploit differences and conflicts among Confucian and Islamic states to support civilization and groups sympathetic to western values and interests, to strengthen international institutions that reflect and legitimate western interests and values, and to promote the involvement of non-western states in those institutions.

Now after reading the above quote from his book even a person who is not academic or aware of the global politics can easily determine that it's very aggressive and interventionist attitude towards other civilizations make them more western or mere copies of one's image. The western civilization is the central point in all those books and essays and portraying as if all other civilizations are in direct conflict with the west. the obvious reasons are off course left out from these writing which is the illegal occupation of lands to control the resources. The topic chosen for these writings is very misleading and deceptive showing the greed for power and resources as a phenomenon of clash of civilizations. Leaving out the core reasons for these clashes is evident enough to show that these books and essays are written for artificially engineering this clash for the dominance of the west and suggestions are not there to reconcile or resolve anything either.

These writings are just an extension of painting other civilizations especially Islam in white and black and solidifying the already negative image into a more sinister one to keep the artificially engineered pessimistic state of mind of the west alive to add fuel to the fire. The ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and the Spanish inquisition which were the acts of hate towards other people cannot be portrayed as a clash between civilizations as suggested in these writings. The definition of clash of civilization is being mingled and twisted in a way in these writings that any person with limited knowledge of history would be so confused and full of rage towards other cultures as to confront them. Surely teachings of Hadrat Sultan Bahoo can help us in this regard.
