12 THE INTELLECTUAL STRUGGLE AGAINST DARWINISM

eties with atheism, immorality, anarchy and conflict—and this
has led to terrible social catastrophes. The 20 th century, a period
of wars, massacres, anarchy and terror, is proof of this. Some na-
tions regarded other populations as species of animals that had

not yet completed the so-called evolutionary process. They imag-
ined that progress was only possible through conflict, believed
that the savage laws of nature also applied to human beings, and
turned the world into a massive lake of blood.
Darwinist propaganda is still being promulgated intensively
today. Young people are encouraged to think they have no re-
sponsibility to anyone but themselves, and are thus directed to-
wards immorality, to the oppression of others by being told that
other people are of no worth. They are encouraged toward chaos,
anarchy and terror, with the claim that these are all justified.
Given that many countries are struggling with the social
problems stemming from Darwinism, it is vitally important to be
warned against Darwinist indoctrination and deceptions, in order
that such a grave peril be intellectually neutralized. Yet those who
fail to understand Darwinism and the threats it poses are also un-
able to comprehend the importance of the intellectual struggle
against it.
Rather than joining in the intellectual struggle against

Darwinism, these individuals resort to various means to ignore
and avoid it. Some seek to trivialize this intellectual struggle by
saying, "Darwinism is not actually all that important," and urge
others to view it in that same light. Others seek a supposed "mid-
dle path" between the theory of evolution and Islam, thus seeking
to reconcile Darwinism and Islam in their own private ways. Yet
it should be totally out of the question for any Muslim to seek any
intellectual "reconciliation" between Darwinism and Islam.
