Comment:-
I think you may have inadvertently raised one of the main causes of angst
amongst people around the world. What if the United States sees itself as
being the world? Historically the 'Wilsonian model' as its raison d'etre.
But that's another 'object' for discussion elsewhere.

Your post got me thinking about the fact that Islam, Christianity, and
Judaism were once "oppressed minorities" within a wider holistic society.
The traditional 'millat concept' is somewhat different in social
organisation, and is more analogous to the 'apartheid' structure and
segregation system (without the implicit racism). In other words, a
quasi-Bantustans model, which seeks to divide and restrict along religious,
or ethno-religious, grounds. If one bothers to read some of the Muslim
literature on the subject, you can immediately see the similarities and use
of corresponding apologetic euphemisms, for example, "separate development"
and the more disingenuous "co-operative co-existence", as if they were
historic symbols of Muslim tolerance! If one adds traditional "millat"
constrictions, or curtailments, for instance, political rights of
non-Muslims, right of movement, the right to bear arms, choice of
residence, worship, occupation, and marriage, etc., you begin to see the
dimension for 'dire consequences'. Which begs the question, why would any
segment of Muslim society want to create a self-imposed "quasi-dhimmi"
status for themselves when there is an alternative? Isn't the underlying
militant activist ideology to wilfully set up a limited self-governing
'homeland' within the non-Muslim state, according to the traditional
'Sharia' model? Is that the underlying 'millat trouble' that is
surreptitiously being faced?
