Islamophobia is the White House’s Weapon to Control the Muslim World

Hatred of Islam became a noticeable part of the Western political establishment at the end of last century, when there was a significant increase in political and economic activity among Muslim states, as well as in their role in providing energy security to Europe and North America. Muslim countries received a significant impulse from the victory of the Iranian Revolution in 1979, and since 2010 revolutionary activity has become more acute in many states, resulting in the Arab Spring.

Iran’s spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a meeting with the country’s leadership and ambassadors from Muslim countries on 31 August 2011, characterized the Islamic political awakening: “Today Muslim society is experiencing important events… the Islamic awakening and experience, which is now being gained by some Muslim countries, has led their people to decide their own destiny.This is a very important and valuable historical development. The events that are taking place in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain and some other countries demonstrate the active participation of their population in a political struggle. The people of these countries themselves are trying to control their own destiny, and that is among the most important events of our time. Such processes can permanently define the nature of Muslim society and the entire Middle East region.”

In the ruling political circles in the West, primarily the United States, these processes have invoked hostility, resulting in a growing hatred of Islam, which has relatively quickly escalated into Islamophobia. From the first days of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, the United States and its western allies, in order to establish control over the Muslim movement and combat its influence in the Middle East and other regions of the world, began a large-scale effort in the form of information warfare, to create among westerners distorted views of political Islam. The “black PR” was conducted against Iran, under which the country was accused of belonging to an “axis of evil” and of supporting global terrorism. Iran was declared to be the greatest threat to global stability, and so Iranophobia was born.

In order to counter the growth of political consciousness in Muslim countries and their desire to live independently from Washington’s orders, the United States initiated a series of internal conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa, militarily intervened in Muslim countries, and intensified strife between Shiites and Sunnis. On the previously trodden path of the creation and use of the terrorist organization “Al-Qaeda” in the fight against political opponents in Afghanistan, Washington, with the complicity of the Gulf monarchies, began to establish new extremist groups such as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in the Middle East, to use them in the fight against Iran, Syria, and Iraq. Along with this, it systemically provided financial, political, and military support to the so-called “moderate opposition”, which, as subsequent events showed, was no more than a bunch of radical militants and terrorists.
