The Italian colonisation of Libya, which was part of the Ottoman Empire, started in 1911 and lasted till 1947. An example of how Muslims reacted to this event can be seen in the lines of an Arabic scholar: “Ayn al-qarar wa qad nakas alamuna bi-Tarabulas.” (How can we live in peace, now that our flags have fallen down in Tripoli?) This event symbolically reflects the case of the entire Muslim world. Muslims today are living with a defeatist mentality and the present negative attitude can be attributed to this psyche. From the past 200 years, the Muslim world has been living with the feeling that its flags have been brought down everywhere. Earlier, western colonisers had brought down Muslim flags in Africa and Asia, and in today’s times, Israel with America’s support has brought down their flag. Consequently, Muslims are living in hatred for the west and consider it to be an enemy of Islam.
