Liberty is the Right of any human which aspires to a dignified and empowered existence. Much in the same way self determionation holds a central role in the United Nations’ recognized human rights, the freedom to express an identity which supersedes that of the nation state can not be denied by any moral grounds. The emergent identity of the Muslim is never going to be a right given to a lesser being, but to the contrary, it is a basic facet of his or her protected liberties. Now with that being stated, it follows that the citizenry of the nation state being suddenly acutely aware of its waning place in the priority of its citizenry may seek to prevent the free Muslim from asserting this rising aspect of his citizenship, due to fears of the authority once monopolized by the nation state eroding. Why this is taking place is clearly due to the failure of said regimes to effectively enfranchise its many segments of society and provide a forum for their civil traditions of cometing interest to develop. Thus, expression is stifled by the one party, despotic, corrupt, and narrow spectrum of citizens whom are empowered to take ownershiop of the reigns of power. Furthermore, the natural means which saw such autocratic adminstrations overthrown in the Western experience has been artificially halted in teh Arab World due to foregin military support of inept autocracies. These aging juntas are nearly universally found in the Arab World, which has come to be regarded as largely vassal states, peripheral to the incumbent world powers. This frustrated polity whose expression can be soley found in the confines of the Mosque, and in futile cyniciscm of the coffee shop, has build up pressure which in time turned to Radicalsim and on to Violent conflict. Given that the prime objective of the Islamist insurrection is to remove failed Arab nation states, it is not surprising that their efforts soon turned to their percieved patrons in the west. Rather than undertake a linear campaign, their inferior numbers dictated strategies which effectively innovated warfare to a degree equal to that of any disruptive contenter in history. Rather than mount campaigns against ranks of soldiers equally matched, the only hope the Islamist Insurrection ha to succeed is to use asymmetrical warfare, and create subterfuge laden campaigns featuring provocations and misdirected manipulation of the world media to achieve an overall obvjective which is not measured in acres, but rather in the dissemination of paradigms in a target population which likely would support the subsequent overt revolution in the Arab Nations targeted. The Islamist contingent does not offer the target population the promise of active involvement in the decentralizaiton of adminstrative power, rather it shuns the liberal democracy as a construct of the West, to be left behind along with Bougois trappings currently prevalent in Arab Upper classes. Thus the Islamist dilemma is how to secure the support of the masses whose political representation will continue to be nomnal under the proposed new theocratic alternative. The answer is by the active creation of a socially widespread change in culture and values, whcih is the subject of my next maxim: Paradgim Deployment in Ideological Warfare.
