B169 Islamophobia and the Ideological Assault From the Past to the Present Volume 1

This volume discusses the influence of polytheism and mysticism on the development of Greek philosophy which in turn forever transformed Christianity. It then shows how a continuation of this process weakened the Muslim world until it was devastated by the Crusades and the Mongol invasions. Rabī’ b. Hādī al Madkhalī states, “The ideological assault began before the days of M’amūn — it was in the days of Jahm b. Ṣafwān (78-128 h.).  Since that time, the plots against Islam began, and the scheme was pointed at the core of Islam.” Even many orientalists recognized that the onslaught of Western philosophy caused the decline of Muslim civilization.
