The Tragedy of Colonization in Disconnecting the Ummah

Colonization not only physically colonized lands but also disconnected the ummah, leading to fragmented memories and disconnected limbs. In the past, scholars talked about the ummah as a unified entity spanning from Morocco to Jakarta. Today, lack of unity is evident as people from different regions are questioned for discussing political matters of other regions. This disconnect indicates a lack of appreciation for history and fosters a rebranding of history culminating in accusations of antisemitism. Understanding local cultures and adjusting communication styles can help deliver messages effectively, as seen in adapting to American culture by learning American football examples for better communication. The distortion of history is highlighted when Blinken visited Tel Aviv and emphasized his Jewish identity, implying a challenge to the region, despite historical events showing Muslims never tried to oust Jews. This signifies an effort to rebrand unique regional history.
