COMMUNALIZATION OF THE RELIGION
Another reason for public alienation from the real
Islam is that the faithfulls fall from the high
pedestal of principled religion to the level of
communal religion. Then, this communal agenda is
Islamized, the ideals of Islam being replaced by
communal aspirations. This is the result, in modern
times, of Muslims being faced with many kinds of
communal problems, such as the usurpation of their
land, deprivation of political power, cultural
invasion, exploitation in terms of economic
resources, etc. And there are many other similar
communal problems from which present day
Muslims are suffering at the hands of their
opponents.
All over the world, Muslims have launched
movements on these scores. In some places they
take the form of protest and demands, while in
others they develop into armed conflicts. If such
activities have any justification, it is purely
communal. Muslims fight for their communal
objectives, but they call it Islamic
jihad
. Their leaders
form political parties, they enter into violent conflict
