                         40. Days of Anarchy and Chaos








                              The Hour will come when vi-
                               olence, bloodshed, and anar-
                                   chy become common.

                                  (Muntakhab Kanz al-
                                         `Ummal)



                  Anarchy and conflict were among the most obvious features of

              the twentieth century. In countless wars, rebellions, and conflicts, a
              great number of people died, and security and peace became one of
              the survivors’ greatest longings. The seemingly unending civil wars
              in some African countries, rebellions in many countries (especially in
              Central and South America), wars and clashes
              throughout Asia, and conflict in the
              Middle East are only the most
              obvious examples of this
              chaos.
                  This aside, during

              the last decade, anar-
              chy and terror seem
              to have gone global.
