whole plan. Under that plan, the Muslim world would see that their
Mahdi is dead and lose all hope and expectations. This was a system-

atic scenario aimed at the weakening and further exploitation of the
Islamic world.
People with radical mindsets are no doubt guilty on the subject,
but we must not ignore the forces that feed them. War always serves

some people's interests at a time when the armaments industry is so
strong. It is usually radical groups who are incited to fight, but it is
those who need war for their own wicked ends who pull their strings.
These groups ready for war because of their ignorance are an ideal
"cover" for these forces behind the scenes; they are merely pawns that
can easily be sent to war.

This does not of course mitigate the crimes of those who have fall-
en into the clutches of radical groups and peddlers of superstition, split
up into sects and declared one another to be the enemy, but neither
should this important reality be ignored. Indeed, the various organisa-

tions that openly stage and manage protests and uprisings, particular-
ly in Muslim countries, have no hesitation about openly expressing
their aims.

Considering this, in order for there to be peace, the benefit of all
mankind need to be pursued rather than personal advantage, the
hunger for land and enmities need to come to an end, and the fanatical
mindset has to be eliminated. The true faiths, religious moral values,
the believers and the Qur'an are all essential to that end. Conflicts
based on a desire for political or material advantage, territory or ideol-
ogy always grow and assume the most terrible dimensions. What can

do away with all this is proper education in the true understanding of
faith using the Qur'an as its point of reference. This education can elim-
inate all these errors and absorb all enmities. Once people's mindset
has changed, there will be no grounds for hostility or war and the only
way to achieve that change in mindset is through education according
to the morality of the Qur'an.
