There is no benefit for anyone in analyzing the extraordinarily destructive attacks by the US, the UK, and Israel on Iran through a religious or sectarian lens. Analyses conducted in this manner and the ideas put forward will only distance us and the entire world from reality. Unfortunately, after Gaza, the US, the UK, and Israel have turned towards Iran and revived the colonial concepts of the nineteenth century. Concepts that, just a few years ago, we only read about in books—used by the Anglo-Saxons to define the "other"—are now circulating openly around us. When defining the world outside Europe, they created new global categories by separating geography from its people. While categorizing people as primitive, savage, uncivilized, or semi-civilized, they attributed extraordinary importance to the lands these people inhabited. The meaning of the civilizing mission was shaped by this separation of people from their land. The fundamental concepts used to justify civilizing the entire non-European world have also changed according to time and place.

Once an ideological framework was established, there was no issue with concepts varying by region. The most significant reason for the reintroduction of these same concepts while destroying Palestine completely was the continuation of the resistance. When the USA, the UK, and Israel killed Palestinians who refused to surrender, they made no distinction between infants, children, youth, and the elderly, and felt no need to even conceal the genocide. Because the Palestinians did not leave their land, they were likened to non-human entities. The deliberate killing of nearly two hundred children by the US and Israel in Iran today is also a result of this same ideological perspective.

Explaining the horrific tableau unfolding in Iran through the notion of Jewish dominance over the US and the UK is a great misfortune. When the idea of Jewish dominance is placed at the center, the formation of a religiously-based conceptual framework becomes inevitable. Indeed, after World War II, an extraordinary discourse was constructed around Jewish history and theology in imperialist centers, and the entire world submitted to this discourse. While this religion-centric discourse rendered the colonial and imperial ambitions of the US and the UK invisible, concepts derived from Jewish history and theology were poured out upon the entire world. This is precisely what is meant by intellectual supremacy. In reality, the concept of intellectual supremacy does not refer to a trivia contest. Knowing a little more or less does not achieve intellectual supremacy. The one who can impose their perspective has seized supremacy. Those who submit have lost the faculty of thought.

At the core of the discursive supremacy of the US, the UK, and Israel lies imposition. They constructed a romantic discourse and convinced the world of it. Today, it is extremely significant that only the Muslim world dares to challenge the Evangelical Zionist discursive supremacy of the US, the UK, and Israel on earth. Some might object, claiming this observation is religion-centric. Despite potential objections, the Muslim world's refusal to submit cannot be explained by religious bigotry or hostility. It is also incorrect to define the ideologies born from the resistance continuing for at least two centuries in the heartland of Islam as merely reactive. The concept of reaction indicates a bestial state expressed through terms like uncivilized, semi-civilized, primitive, and savage. Because they are said to act on instinct, the ideologies emerging from them are also considered products of instinct—that is, reactive. These definitions have also been used for the ideology of Islamism. It is very clear that they view the Iranians from the same perspective.

As the US and Israel set Iran ablaze, concepts centered on religion and sect have begun to invade and occupy our mental world at an incredible speed. This, undoubtedly, is a reflection of imperialist and colonialist aggression. They want to re-establish the intellectual supremacy shaken by religious-centric discourses. In this framework, Shia-Sunni conflict would provide them with more than the opportunity they seek. This way, they would cleanse the geography of its people and its culture. It must be said that they want to cleanse the lands where civilization could spread of the people living on them. Killing all living beings indiscriminately is a requirement of their ideology. This is what they believe. Even Karl Marx said, "they do not know how to suffer." He, too, believed in the civilizing mission. Thus, societies without history would finally enter the stage of history.

Will the Muslim resistance be broken? That is the question we need to find an answer to. My personal opinion is that whether the world is plunged into a new pagan darkness depends on the answer to this question. If the Muslim resistance is broken, they will adorn the entire earth with pagan temples. They believe in this.
