The most significant impediment for establishment of an Islamic state in the present age has been created by the long presence of western colonial powers in our lands.
When they established their authority in our lands, they replaced our laws with their laws.
They introduced their education system in our lands annihilating ours.
They expelled people who were educated in our education system from government jobs and availed them only for people educated in their education system.
They also occupied our economic system by introducing their organizations and policies. So, western educated people monopolized our economies. Thus western colonial powers were able to create a generation among us who were void of the concept of our civilization, culture and idea.
They were actively cut off from Islam, history of Islam and Islamic tradition as well as from the emotion and intellect of Islam.
And this phenomena is a hindrance to revival of Islam"
