Islamic Globalization

"What is worse than politically correct writing?" (Jeremiah Horrigan - Journalist)
"There is a world that wants to have mercy and a world that does not have any." (Authorless)
Is globalization facing an inevitable decline, designed of being pressured by the emerging Islamic fundamentalism project? We are not jumping to any deduction, on the other hand, we are trying to understand whether the historical moment has privileged a renaissance of a spiritual afflatus, which was hidden for a couple of centuries within the Muslim world.
Islamic history has always expressed a continual military movement n order to plan the basis of propagation of a messianic political-religious ideology. Europe, in its history, has often faced this project of expansion for thousand years about.

Things obviously are changed and today Islam is trying to spread its life concept through global communication network. However, from a certain perspective, this approach tends to unclear their tradition and from another angle is imposing a hegemonic alternative culture, which looks very similar to the socialist one. Moreover we should realize the reason why "anti-imperialists" activities are referring to Islam as an alliance of intents. The search for a new ethic, combined with a fundamentalist fideism, is based on the assumption that their faith is the most universal, valuable and widely accepted.
Both messianic, Socialism and Islamism are commonly pursuing the same path to conquer the humanity, despite theories that argue the impossibility of flanking them by anarchist and communist world. On this point the history of the Red Brigades in Italy was an example of hidden sponsorship by intellectuals and Social-Communist political fringes.
The cold war, in a certain way, has frozen the history and has prevented phenomena of religious explosion, although we have no sentimental regret of that period. As soon as Communism, as organization structure, collapsed, history re-started across the world. The Islamic perspective proposes a Manichean view of the humanity that stands in contrast with the rest of the planet (and which is similar to the Socialist viewpoint). A cultural homogeneity of religion is measured versus the heterogeneous world, often packed in its idolatry of the human rights. Can we continue to lead our revolutionary heritage of "immortal principles" against a strong mono-idealistic Islamic standpoint?
In general, Europe moves from the confused meanderings of interreligious dialogue, especially on the basis of a complete absence of a strong faith. The Western world, therefore, cannot believe that had failed in its demand of human rights. The death of God, ardently desired by the revolutionaries, opened the black hole that is not manageable through rationalist proposals. By eliminating the Christian principles, which were bulwark and defense of the Roman civilization, Europe stands today in a weak and bewildered position. In the Islamic world is currently in place a process of identity reconstruction and re-conversion to the past values by using the media networks.
Islam was such a military power that was able to get away from the Christianity both Africa and Middle East. Still other worries can be seen, however, in the Islamic migration to the nihilistic Europe that has banished God from its foundation, as well as the purely sociological need to improve the living standard. This pseudo-messianic vision is coupled with original and innovative formation of a European Islam identity. Thousand years of history have taught anything to Europeans.
However just opposite to the Islamic world there was another specular identity in the past: the Christianity. The vulgate of "politically correct" wants to demonstrate that Christianity was in the invasion attitude, when the historical facts demonstrated that it was always in a position of defense. After the end of the 1st and 2nd world war, the Christian world, supported by neo-modernist and socialist ideas, revised its expansion as a sin and then lost its history, identity and appeal. Christianity, combining the Jewish, Greek and Roman traditions, had raised the largest civilization in human history.
Nihilism, socialism and modernism have removed the value and history of Christian peoples, which resulted in the loss of European uniqueness. Dialogue of the nihilist and relativist Europe has opened the door to the Trojan horse of Islamic retaliation.
