Islam's Intrinsic Political Nature

Islam views the world as divided between belief and unbelief, unlike Christianity. Islam seeks to govern all aspects of a person's life intrinsically, without a separation of religion and politics. The distinction between Islam and Islamism is a modern concept, as Islam is inherently political. Muhammad, being a statesman and a warlord, sets a different example from Jesus in Christianity. The immediate political power in Islam contrasts with early Christianity's oppression and external struggles. Islam commands the spread of faith globally and is rooted in power, contrasting with Christianity's emphasis on meekness. The failure of Islam to dominate the world for centuries is a source of humiliation, as Islam inherently rejects non-Muslim rule. This perpetual quest for victory affects all aspects of Islam.
