New world order and İslamic movements

The phenomenon of universalism is an important characteristic of human being. From the beginning of the world, human beings have been in conflict with each other in order to dominate others and force them to obey. Islamic world has experienced this conflict more because of its geographical location in which early civilization and divine religions emerged. After the emergence of Islam, Muslims have played an important role to fight against Persian, Roman and Byzantium empires, which used to dominate geographical territory of Islamic world. Muslims have expanded their hegemony to Europe in the West, and China in the East. After the decline of Islamic power in these regions, now so-called Islamic world covers Middle Eastern part of Asia. After the decline of Ottoman Empire, demolishing of caliphate and emergence of petroleum and underground resources, this territory has been the center of interest of Western world which wants to take control of the region. Thus, as a reaction to this, so-called Islamic movements have appeared in the Islamic world. There are many reasons for the emergence of these movements such as migration, to bring the caliphate back, to resist Western imperialism, and national, ideological and political conflicts in the Islamic states, and so on. Furthermore, historical, internal, political, tribal, racial, religious, sectarian, and operational conflicts have also led to the emergence of these movements. However, some of these movements have been used as an excuse by the Western to control the Islamic world. Islamic movements have also aimed to lead the Islamic world. They have reacted to the world powers. The relations between the United States and Islamic movements could be explained in the light of cold war. The US has used some of these movements as oppose to the Soviet Union and other powers. However, after the demise of communist block, the capitalist block has remained the only world power under the leading of US, and thus the good relationship between some Islamic movements and the US has turned to hostility. While, the US supported such groups as al-Qaeda against Russia in order to be the supreme power of the world, later the subsistence of Islamic movements have been turned to the phrase of 'fight with Radical Islamic movements' by the world powers such as US, Russia, China. Thus, these movements have been useful tools for the regional and international powers. This power relation has lead to such conflicts between Shia and Sunni which has three dimensions, Arab, Turk and Iran. For this reason, in this triangle environment, different Salafi, Wasati and Shia based movements have appeared. Taking advantage of these conflicts, ISIS has been an important tool regional and international powers to control Muslim territories. Later, ISIS has turned into Islamic State (IS) and declared the caliphate. As a result, ISIS has become a proof and an excuse for the external powers to control over the region.
