The LBJ analogy is in many ways fitting as message for Muslims. But I disagree that LBJ is a metaphor for Muslim. Be careful when you say ‘we will continue to decline’. I am not declining. My masjid is pretty new – built post-9/11 – praise Allah. It is too crowed though; no room for the FBI to sit. 🙂 It may seem like the Muslim world is in turmoil. Really? Is that what you call breaking free from the legacy of the Ottomans, the Europeans, the dictators, and soon, the monarchies? Oh, I deplore the dying, but so many died under the tyranny of the aforementioned too. This is the most glorious time to be Muslim. We are witnessing a great transformation from the shadows to the light. Allah always wins. We are not LBJ’s army. We are Muslims. Remember that.
