                               The Intricacies of the Evil's Alliance

                  will set you onto them. Then they can only be your
                  neighbours there a very short time. (Surat al-Ahzab: 60)

                  Another method the evil have employed for thousands of
              years to such an end has been to coax the good into a conflict
              against their brothers and friends. All civil wars, conflicts
              and senseless enmities that have come about in history,
              originated from the all-out efforts of the evil. As a result of
              the enmity stirred up by the provocation of the evil, fellow
              citizens, even close friends and brothers, struggled against
              each other, and tortured and killed one another.
                  Also, in our day, through publications, speeches,
              lobbying and diplomacy, such people stealthily manage to
              bring two countries into a war, or stir up enmity among a
              people by dividing a nation into factions. This is an evil
              scheme that turns brother against brother. The purpose is to
              weaken these countries by civil wars and internal conflict so
              as to reconcile the structure of the target countries to their
              own goals and ideologies.

                  Another method employed by the evil alliance against the
              good is, as mentioned in previous sections, to portray some
              of the good as wicked in the eyes of other good people. To
              this end, they initiate underhanded strategies, ranging from
              spreading unfounded accusations to outright insults, so as to
              make the disparaging message "Look! We have unmasked
              the good; as you see, they are not on the right way." The
              intention in this case is to prevent the good to come together,
              and to support and protect the oppressed.
                  However, people of conscience who are able to analyse
              these tactics, so as to recognise and avert the secret plans of
              the evil, thanks to their conscience and sound mind, will
