What does “Arab socialism mean”?
How did Social Darwinism lead to the formation and spread of Arab socialism?
How did this ideology, which led to the deaths of millions of innocent people, infiltrate into Arab countries?
What destructive effect did the Darwinist Communist intellectual system have on the Arab people?
What does Adnan Oktar have to say on the subject?
In what major developments have Adnan Oktar’s Atlas of Creation, which has had a huge global impact, and his other works read by millions of people, been instrumental, by Allah’s leave?
Communists have always been among the most fervid adherents of Social Darwinism. This relationship between Darwinism and communism goes back to the founders of both “isms.” Marx and Engels, the founders of communism, read Darwin’s Origin of Species as soon as it was published and admired the book’s “dialectical materialist” approach. Correspondence between Marx and Engels shows that they both considered Darwin’s theory to be “the foundation of communism in terms of the natural sciences.” Indeed, in his book Dialectics of Nature, written under the influence of Darwin, Engels praised Darwin and tried, in his own eyes, to make a contribution to the theory of evolution in the chapter “The Part Played by Labor in the Transition from Ape to Man.”
All the Russian communists who followed Marx and Engels' path, such as Plekhanov, Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin, adopted Darwin’s theory of evolution. Plekhanov, regarded as the founder of Russian communism, is famous for regarding Marxism as "Darwinism in its application to social science."
Trotsky declared that “Darwin's discovery is the highest triumph of the dialectic in the whole field of organic matter.” 2
“Darwinist education” played a major role in the formation of the communist cadres. It is a fact confirmed by historians, for instance, historians note the fact that Stalin was religious in his youth, but became an atheist because of Darwin's books. 3
Mao, who slaughtered millions of people, openly described the philosophical basis of the order he established as "Chinese socialism is founded upon Darwin and the theory of evolution." 4
In short, there is an insoluble bond between the theory of evolution and communism. The theory of evolution maintains that living things are the work of chance, and it also provided a supposed scientific justification for atheism. That is why communism, a totally atheist ideology, is inescapably bound to Darwinism. The fact that communism, based on Darwinist materialist thinking, slaughtered millions of people in Arab countries alone throughout the 20th century, gives one a better idea of the disasters Darwinism has inflicted on the world.
The State of Muslims in the 20th Century
The last Islamic Union in the world was the great and glorious Ottoman Empire. Since its collapse, the Islamic world has been divided into countries great and small. Most of these were for a long time colonized by Western powers. From the 1920s on, the entire Middle East, North Africa, the Indian sub-continent and the Muslims of the Pacific fell under the rule of European colonialist powers, particularly Britain and France. The Muslims of Central Asia and the Caucasus came under the rule of an even harsher regime, the Soviet Russian dictatorship. The Muslims of the Balkans were ruled by non-Muslim peoples such as the Serbs and Croats.
In short, a large part of the world’s Muslims were colonized for much of the 20th century. After the World War II, the administrations in these Muslim countries adopted communism and assumed an anti-Islamic identity. Ideological trends diametrically opposed to the values at the heart of Islamic moral values gained strength in some of those Islamic countries that obtained independence in the 1950s. The “Arab Socialism” that had a profound influence on the Arab world in the 1950s and ‘60s is one such example.
The Arab Socialism that Developed in the Arab World in the Wake of the Ottomans
Arab socialism was a movement that combined extreme nationalism with a fanatical third world leftism, and was fundamentally supported by the Soviet Union. Arab socialism combined a slightly milder version of Soviet-style communism with strong Arab nationalism, and first came to power in Egypt. Gamal Abdel Nasser, one of the officers who overthrew the Egyptian monarchy and then assumed power, soon revealed a conception of government that oppressed the Muslim public. Syria and Iraq followed on the heels of Egypt. Socialist regimes seized power through bloody coups in all these countries.
There was no room for concepts such as peace or moderation in Arab socialists’ programs. On the contrary, the concept of conflict that lies at the heart of Marxist ideology was much more important to them. In that climate, tensions in the Arab world grew rapidly.
As the Islamic Union – the main element that has made the "Pax Ottomana" (“the Ottoman Peace”) in the region possible – was being eliminated, Arab nationalism was stirred up. Arabs were also divided among themselves. Thus it was that following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century, Muslim Arab peoples living in the Middle East and North Africa were left unprotected. Artificial kingdoms appeared in the Arab world, that had previously been bound to the caliphate, in the wake of the caliphate’s elimination. The family of Hussein bin Ali, Sharif of Mecca, who had initiated the “Arab Revolt” against the Ottomans during the First World War I, came to head these kingdoms. During the inter-war period, Muslim lands witnessed the strong presence of colonialist European states. Atheist zionists also raised the climate of violence there in order to establish the state of Israel. Terrorist activities, political assassinations and bombings followed hot on one another’s heels. The region became a war zone. Arab intellectuals and state administrations adopted one aim in order to increase their political influence; to turn the Muslim people away from Islam and introduce artificial ideologies that coalesce around their leaders.
How Did the Communist Intellectual System Gradually Seize Power in Arab Countries?
- The administration phase: In the period between the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the World War II, the colonialist powers Great Britain and France established an intensely repressive system in Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. Fascist Germany and Italy were busy repressing Muslims in such countries as Libya and Ethiopia. Enormous pressure was put on religious people in this period, while new generation intellectuals and state administrators were receiving a Darwinist education in Europe. The aim was to distance first the administrators in Arab countries and then the public from Islamic moral values, and thus to maintain the colonialist system. The communist and Darwinist education provided in Europe resulted in the appearance of a communist new generation and ideologies in the Muslim Arab world that were far removed from the moral values of Islam.
- The military phase: Following the end of the World War II, which resulted in the economic collapse of the states of Europe, the cold war began, a struggle between two opposing axes, together with a communist movement among Arab countries. These movements uttered Arab nationalist slogans and also wished to establish a communist-socialist regime. Communist ideology found particular support among the upper echelons of the various militaries because Arab armies had also received Darwinist materialist training in Europe during the colonialist period and consisted of cadres who had been completely distanced from Islamic moral values.
- The coup phase: The Arab socialist-communist movement seized power through a number of coups right up until the 1970s. Arab socialist eras dawned with Gamal Abdel Nasser in Egypt, Colonel Gaddafi in Libya, in Iraq with first General Hassan al-Bakr and then Saddam Hussein and in Syria with the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party and Hafez al-Assad. Arab states were communized through these coups. The communist took the name of the Ba’ath Party in politics in Iraq and Syria, and throughout the decades of their rule, communist cadres were installed in the most crucial positions in the state, the army, the civil service and the education system.
- The Beginning of Darwinist Communist Education in Arab Lands: During the cold war, communist regimes in Arab states drew closer to the Soviet Union. Soviet ideologues transferred the Darwinist, materialist and communist education that had formerly been provided in Europe to the Arab countries themselves. As a result of this 30 - 40 year period of education, countries emerged that had Muslim populations but in which all religious institutions had been eradicated, in which communist regimes based on violence had replaced the moral values of Islam.
The Destructive Impact of the Darwinist Communist Intellectual System on the Arab People
From the second half of the 20th century, Muslim peoples were governed by Darwinist-communist regimes and organizations. In that period, Arab peoples in various countries were subjected to war, ethnic slaughter, terrorist activity or official persecution. Series of communist rebellions led to constant instability and impoverishment. The Muslim public became ever poorer, despite their countries’ huge oil revenues, while these made the ruling classes and their associates even wealthier.
As with other communist regimes, Arab communism used all kinds of despotism to cling onto power and adopted a false mask of Arab nationalism. The climate of love, affection and compassion that had been enjoyed, by way of the moral values of Islam, in the Ottoman period, was replaced by the savagery, barbarity and despotism of communism.
Throughout the period of Ottoman rule, the Middle East preserved its nature as a calm and stable region, unlike today. The departure of the Ottomans from the region at the beginning of the 20th century coincided with the arrival of a new power. Atheist zionist leaders were agreed on the need to remove the Ottomans from the region if they were to acquire the Holy Land. The first operations in the light of that objective also represented the first instances of the age of the buying and selling of Arab leaders. Revolts, wars and stratagems first appeared for the sake of ensuring the Holy Land remained out of control. That instability and insecurity have never ended from that day to this, and the tears and bloodshed have never come to an end...
The Communist Leaders of the Arab World
1. IRAQ - Saddam Hussein
Saddam Hussein was a leading communist and Ba’ath Party militant. As a member of the party, he received a military education based on Darwinism and materialism. It assumed power in Iraq following an internal party coup. Following the Hassan al-Bakr coup, he served as deputy prime minister in the government and seized power himself in 1979 while head of the Revolutionary Command Council. The Ba’ath Party administration then accused 68 of its administrators of treason, and hanged 22 of them. There was now just one center of power in the country following this bloody party revolution. Saddam took a leaf out of the Darwinist Gamal Abdel Nasser’s book and described himself as a socialist revolutionary. He initiated the 8-year Iran-Iraq War in 1980. In 1991 he started the Gulf War by invading Kuwait. Both wars ended in the deaths of millions of Muslims. The attack on the town of Halabja in northern Iraq in which chemical weapons were used and in which tens of thousands of innocent Muslims were killed was just one of the crimes against humanity of Saddam’s regime. Saddam Hussein was also responsible for a massacre after the Gulf War in which tens of thousands of Shiites died.
2. PALESTINE
George Habash
A Darwinist, Marxist-Leninist militant. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine founded by him acts in line with the communist ideology of the Palestine Liberation Organization, of which it is a subsidiary. He was responsible for many terrorist attacks and plane hijackings in the 1970s and ‘80s. He sparked the Palestine-Jordanian fighting known as Black September. He also made Lebanon a training ground for communist militants from all over the world.
Palestine Liberation Organization
In the initial stage it was set up as a Marxist-Leninist structure. That meant it was for long regarded as a terrorist organization. It was a left-leaning organization largely kept alive by support from the Soviets and socialist Arab countries.
In the same way, al Fatah, set up in 1959 under the leadership of Yasser Arafat was an organization that acted in the light of communist ideology and had a Darwinist-materialist nature. In 1968, al Fatah, which began being influential within the PLO, began preparing for terrorist activities by training guerrillas. The guerrilla group Black September split away from al Fatah in 1971 and in 1972, under the influence of Darwinist indoctrination, ruthlessly killed 11 athletes it had taken hostage at the Munich Olympics.
The recent abandonment of Darwinist, Leninist thinking within both the PLO and al Fatah has led both organizations to work toward protecting the rights of innocent Muslims.
3. EGYPT - General Gamal Abdel Nasser
Carried out a coup in 1952 with 9 other officers under the name of the “Free Officers Committee,” overthrowing King Farouk and ruling the country for 20 years. He was one of the revolutionary members of the Arab socialist movement. He developed a nationalist, Darwinist-Stalinist ideology known as Nasserism. The Free Officers were a communist organization and carried out a violent coup in Iraq in 1958, overthrowing and bloodily killing King Faisal.
He stage-managed a fake assassination attempt in 1954, and held the Muslim Brotherhood responsible for it, putting intense pressure on the Muslim population. In the wake of the coup he closed all the political parties and banned the establishment of any new ones. The al-Azhar University and the scholars from it were placed under intense pressure during his rule.
Russia was Egypt’s closest ally in Nasser’s time. The army, the economy, education, the universities and the press all virtually passed into Russian control. Communist and Darwinist views came to dominate the curriculum. Egypt was full of Russian agents. A huge move in the direction of communism began from 1962 in particular. The name of the National Union was changed to the Arab Socialist Union.
Nasser stood as the sole candidate in election in 1965, and stepped up his pressure on the Muslim Brotherhood after receiving 99% of the vote. Many Islamic scholars were arrested and executed, including Sayyid Qutb, Muhammad Qutb and Hassan-al Banna. Thousands of Muslims were tortured and killed.
Communist and revolutionary figures were installed in the judicial system. Following criticism from the Egyptian Judges’ Club in 1969, hundreds of sitting judges were removed from their posts by the Nasser regime and replaced by communist members, in what would come to be known as the “massacre of the judiciary.”
4. ALGERIA - Ahmed Ben Bella
Ben Bella came to power in the wake of Algerian independence from France. He had previously served as a legionary in the French Army and had received a Darwinist, materialist education in France. He was awarded the title “Hero of the Soviet Union.” He brought communists into the state administration and is still involved in the administration of the African Union.
5. TUNISIA – Habib Bourguiba
Habib Bourguiba was under French control right from childhood. He received a Darwinist education and studied law and politics at the Sorbonne. After returning to Tunisia, Bourguiba encouraged the people to revolt, thus establishing the conditions necessary for the French colonialists to eliminate Tunisian Muslims. After independence Bourguiba was made president of Tunisia, but suddenly changed and started following an anti-Islamic policy.
He had Islamic educational institutions closed down, particularly University of Zaytuna, the symbol of Tunisia. He kept the mosques under surveillance and prohibited performance of the prayer outside certain specified hours. He had thousands of Muslims arrested and severely tortured in the prisons. Thousands of Muslims lost their lives in the time of Habib Bourguiba.
6. YEMEN – Imam Ahmad bin Yahya
When South Yemen was administered by the British it was a moderate, pro-Western country. It then became a Soviet ally. North Yemen, on the other hand, remained in the hands of the Darwinist and materialist dictator Ahmad bin Yahya until 1962. He imposed heavy taxes on the tribes of the country, and kept a few prominent members of each one as hostages in the palace in order to keep the tribes under control or prevent any potential tribal revolts. He even took these people along on foreign visits.
THE PAHLAVI DYNASTY AIMED TO ESTABLISH A DARWINIST SOCIETY IN IRAN
7. IRAN: The Pahlavi Dynasty
Reza Shah Pahlavi overthrew the Iranian Soviet Socialist republic, established in 1920 with support from the Bolsheviks, with the help of the British and of guerrillas who had been trained in Russia, and became commander in chief of the army. In 1925 he declared himself Shah and founded the Pahlavi dynasty. Muslims encountered severe pressure throughout the time of Reza Shah Pahlavi, who saw it as his main aim to protect British interests in Iran. Islamic education institutions were closed and Darwinist education imposed instead. Islamic clothing was banned and women were not allowed to cover their heads. The army was restructured by the Europeans. In the early 1960s, the USA replaced the British. Supported by the USA, Muhammad Reza Pahlavi assumed the throne. As Pahlavi’s pressure on Muslims increased, so did popular resistance. Pahlavi’s 65,000-member organization SAVAK [Iran’s security and intelligence secret police] perpetrated enormous slaughter. Protesting students were shot at. Thousands of people lost their lives.
Conclusion:
BY ALLAH’S LEAVE, ISLAM WILL ENTER A GOLDEN AGE WITH THE TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION
Muslim countries were not governed in the light of Islamic moral values in the 20th century. As can be seen from the examples cited throughout this text, their rulers were Darwinists, communists and totalitarians. Their military officers underwent communist training. In other words, even though they were Muslim, there was no difference between them and the Soviet Union or other Eastern Bloc countries. The reason why the region has remained backward is not Islam, as Darwinist, materialist circles have attempted to suggest for so many years, but the fact that due to this communist mindset people did not live according to the moral values of Islam. The ruling class in the Arab world and the people in general have only just started to be freed from the influence of this Darwinist and communist education. Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan’s taking on the Palestinian problem and protecting the Palestinian people as shown at the Davos summit, followed by the way the Arab world expressed its longing for the Ottoman Empire and Islamic moral values are manifest examples of this. Following the end of the Darwinist rule that lasted for the last 150 years and the refutation of all its claims, a huge re-awakening of faith has begun in the Arab world, as in the rest of the world. Adnan Oktar’s Atlas of Creation, the giant work that reveals the fraudulent nature and invalidity of Darwinism, thus neutralizing it, and his other works that have been downloaded millions of times, have made a major contribution to this.
This awakening in the Islamic world, that began with the collapse of Darwinism and the Darwinist dictatorship in the 21st century, will, by Allah’s leave, result in the Turkish-Islamic Union. When the time ordained by Allah comes, Islamic moral values will rule the world and Islam will embark on the Golden Age, for so long awaited in the light of the hadiths of the Prophet (saas).
When Allah’s help and victory have arrived and you have seen people entering Allah’s religion in droves, then glorify your Lord’s praise and ask His forgiveness. He is the Ever-Returning. (Surat an-Nasr, 1-3)
The Ideologues of Arab Communism
• Arab socialism was developed under the influence of such 19th century Darwinist and materialist philosophers as the German Johann Fichte and Auguste Comte of France.
• Michel Aflaq, regarded as the founder of Arab communism, was Syrian. His mother was Jewish and his father Christian. He received a Marxist education in France, followed by studies in the 1930s at the Sorbonne, the bastion of Darwinism and communism. The first constitution of the Ba’ath Party founded in Syria by Aflaq in 1943 was drafted by him, based on Marxist and anti-religious ideas. The word “religion” did not even appear in the constitution. [i] In 1953 the party merged with the Arab Socialist Movement, becoming the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party. The party was established on Darwinist, Marxist and socialist principles. It was later organized in all Arab countries, especially Lebanon, Jordan, South Yemen, Iraq and Libya. It operated secretly in some countries and openly in others. He served as minister of education in Syria. After Syria, Aflaq sought sanctuary in Iraq, being the one who found and raised Saddam Hussein in ideological terms, and who brought him to power. He was also a founder of the Iraq Ba’ath Party and one of the regime’s ideologues. He continued as deputy president of the Iraq Ba’ath Party until his death in 1989. After his death, Saddam Hussein announced him as a Muslim and had a tomb built for him. But the new Iraqi administration pulled the tomb down.
• Ali Salih al-Sa’di was an Iraq Ba’ath Party ideologue and took the party down a communist, Stalinist path.
• Zaki al-Arsuzi, a Syrian Ba’ath Party ideologue and founder, studied in the Department of Philosophy in the Sorbonne. Ideologues such as Sati’ al-Husri were also under the influence of the Nazi-German racism of the time.

Statements by Mr. Adnan Oktar Regarding the Darwinist, Materialist Intellectual System That Took over in Arab Countries
“In time they extended their tentacles into all Islamic countries, like an octopus. [For example,] Gamal Abdel Nasser in Egypt. Egypt came under the control of communists. Iraq fell into the hands of Stalinists, thanks to Saddam. Syria was also in Stalinist hands through Hafez al-Assad. Yemen also fell into communist hands. Palestine was already a school for communists, it was the communists’ training camp. They spread Darwinism to the whole Islamic world. That is what the tradition says: Seventy thousand turbaned religious scholars will follow the Dajjal [the Antichrist]. In other words, they will be communists, Darwinists and materialists, and will cunningly lead Muslims toward lack of religion and lack of faith. That is what the hadith implies. This also implies communist religious scholars.” (From a live interview with Adnan Oktar on 22 March, 2009, for Kanal 67)
