They think that it is enough to drive away the dogs and rats from the sick man for him to be able to get up and start walking. There are those who see only dogs but they do not see rats nor the bully nor the ailments of the sick man. Such people look at rats and bullies as friends and well-wishers. There are realists who see the whole problem in a comprehensive way, that is, the sickness requiring diagnosis and full treatment, the problem of removing the bully from the top and removing dogs and rats who are nibbling all parts of the body of the sick man, the Ummah. However, the dogs and rats are under the protection of the bully and the bully is too strong to be removed from top of the body of the sick man by force.
Education is the key to the external solution.
This education can take place only through persistent, untiring and innovative da'wah efforts. The internal solution is to bring the Ummah back to the Qur'an and Sunnah and to remove opinion and innovation-based cultural Islam from the body. The governments of the West who have their heavy foot on the body of Muslim Ummah and meddle in the affairs of Muslim countries, can do so only with the tacit approval of their populations as expressed in their elected bodies. In the West, members of the legislatures and administrations are accountable to the population and have to stand up for reelection, providing an opportunity for the population to express their approval or disapproval of policies. If administrations adopt unpopular policies and legislators approve them, the population will bring them down in an election.
