If one agreement is to be blamed for the geographical and political decline of the Muslim world, it would undoubtedly be the “Sykes-Picot” agreement of 1916. This secret agreement was actually a stab in the back of Muslims—a fratricidal conspiracy through which the Western colonial powers shattered the heartland of the Muslim Ummah, that is, the Arab world.
