6 Political Decolonization: International Islamic Shura Council

• Ideology: Theism
  • Political Hierarchy: Consultative Democracy
    • Consultative democracy means that people can engage with the policies of the government at every level of society, and they are being consulted at every level.
  • Wealth Distribution: Socialist Market Economy
    • The system is a market economy with the predominance of public ownership and state-owned enterprises.
  • Core Values
    • China is opposed to the use of human rights and democracy as a political tool to interfere in other countries.
    • “China is firm in supporting the international system with the UN at its core,” and opposes hegemony, power politics, unilateralism, and a Cold War mentality.
    • Establishing systems and multi-lateral institutions of public benefit.
    • Working for a truly stable international order
    • Purpose of BRICS: “A small number of countries have arbitrarily imposed illegal and unilateral sanctions, severely undermining the harmony and stability of international relations.”  Mr. Han encouraged the international community to jointly resist such acts.
• Foreign Policy: Contributions
  • Development should be at the center of the international agenda, with “win-win outcomes”.
  • China is a natural member of the Global South, firm in upholding their legitimate rights and interests.
  • Determined to stop the advancement of Western-style democracy, using democratic slogans to destabilize sovereign states and advance American geopolitical interests.
  • No nation wants to risk direct conflict with any of the UN Security Council Members, especially America and China.  They prefer fighting through proxies.
• Core Members
  • China
  • Russia
    • Chechnya
  • Syria
    • Enter Russia on September 30, 2015, and all this changed. Russia decided it was not going to allow another government to be overthrown through Western conspiracy.While we fully support the right of the Syrian people to have their own representative government, the issue in Syria has gone beyond that.  What is underway is no longer about the rights of the Syrian people. At one stage there were over 40 different groupings in Syria. Al-Assad had been receiving very little assistance from Iran or Hezbollah with the exception of advisors, this being the price he paid for not following their wise and astute advice given with sincerity.In August 2012 a report by Reuters confirmed what analysts had been speculating from the beginning, that the rebels in Syria were being supported by the hegemonic powers.  The report stated “Obama’s order, approved earlier this year and known as an intelligence ‘finding,’ broadly permits the CIA and other US agencies to provide support that could help the rebels oust Asad.”  The aim underpinning support for the rebels was evident from an interview conducted with a key FSA figure by the Israeli publication, Israel Hayom. The rebel identified only by an alias Kamal, stated, “Al-Asad’s fall will eliminate the link in the chain that ties Iran with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Not only would you be rid of an enemy, but you [Israel] would also weaken two others.”Islamists on Iran’s border
      • Iran, Russia, and Hezbollah joined the fight.  All three knew that if Syria fell, their own nations would be next on the regime-changers agenda.
      • Speaking on CNN’s Amanpour show last week, Defense Minister Ehud Barak argued that “the toppling down of Assad will be a major blow to the radical axis, major blow to Iran and it will weaken dramatically both Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza.”
    • Islamists on Israel’s border
      • Like in Libya and Egypt, the US doesn’t want to see the rise of an Islamic government, and the US knew that if Assad collapses too quickly, the ensuing chaos would see Islamic groups rise and take over a strategic part of the Middle East, which they also see as threatening to Israel’s borders (which Assad had helped keep quiet and peaceful).
    • Fight until exhaustion
      • The picture that emerges is that neither the US nor Russia wants al-Asad to succeed completely. They both want fighting to continue to exhaust government forces to the point that the government would be forced to accept a ceasefire on the terms dictated by the two powers. Russia and the US have agreed on a new constitution for Syria that they want to put to a vote.  The constitution calls for devolution of power, a pluralistic society and system and elections in 18 months.
    • Genocide
      • Many drawing parallels between Israel’s punishing blockade of Gaza with Syria’s siege of the Yarmouk refugee camp, which brought the Palestinian population there to the brink of starvation.
  • North Korea
  • Iran
    • Strategic interests (Power)
      • Strong regional Allies
      • No enemy forces in the region
    • Iran wants a cold war with Israel
      • Iran wants no war and no peace
      • Iran want to establish deterrence, without any escalations into war.
      • Just to demonstrate their ability to hurt their enemies, without doing so.
      • Terms used: Strategic Patience, Heroic Flexibility
      • A cold war is a state of conflict between nations that does not involve direct military action but is pursued primarily through economic and political actions, propaganda, acts of espionage or proxy wars waged by surrogates.
    • Iran’s nuclear program appears to most Israeli’s as an existential threat
      • “Negotiations will not stop Iran from improving the crucial part of any nuclear weapons program.”
      • An Iranian nuclear weapons capability would not only end that nuclear monopoly but could also prompt other adversaries, like Saudi Arabia and Egypt, to go nuclear as well.
      • If Iran were to reach the threshold of a nuclear weapons state, Tehran would find it much easier to call on its allies in Syria and Hezbollah to strike Israel, knowing that its nuclear weapons would serve as a deterrent to Israel responding against Iran itself.
    • Turning people’s political solidarity into religious affiliation
      • “We,” Ghuzlan wrote, “agree with the essence of Qaradawi’s critique of the Shia. The Brotherhood prefers not to enter into religious polemics in order to preserve the unity of the Muslim Nation, but Iran should respect that approach too and not take advantage of it by acting to spread Shiism.”
    • The Axis of Resistance
      • The Axis of Resistance dominates Israel’s foreign policy
      • Iraq
        • The disastrous arms-for-hostages policy convinced Iraqis rightly that the United States was trying to play both sides of the conflict.  Both Iraqis and Iranians came to believe the United States was manipulating each of them during the war.
        • President George W. Bush toppled Saddam and ended his brutal dictatorship, but in doing so, Bush opened the door to a Shia majority government which is much friendlier to Tehran than to Riyadh or Amman, or Washington. These are sobering reminders of the unintended consequences of wars.
        • Iraq’s post-American power-sharing arrangement grants winners and losers alike shares of government power; this system promotes corruption and bad governance, but it also makes it difficult for a single authoritarian to ever take full control of state resources.
      • Hamas & PIJ
        • Both Hamas and Islamic Jihad publicly thanked Islamic Iran for giving them real (material) help on the ground
      • Yemen
        • Ansar Allah
      • Lebanon

  • Saudi Arabia

      • Saudi bases used against Iraq.
