The Undoing of Secularism

The Islamic Awakening and the Death of Arab Secularism

This video traces the Arab world’s dramatic transformation from secular modernity to rigid religious orthodoxy, a shift not born of grassroots devotion, but of geopolitical design. It recounts how the promise of progressive, cosmopolitan societies in Cairo, Damascus, and Baghdad was systematically dismantled after Nasser’s 1967 defeat, paving the way for a Saudi-led Islamic Awakening that replaced secular institutions with theocratic ones. Through petro-dollar funding, ideological warfare, and cultural engineering, the Gulf exported a brand of politicized Islam that now threatens Europe. The same playbook, mosque networks, Sharia accommodation, religious lobbying, and weaponized victimhood, is unfolding across Western democracies. This is not just a history lesson, it’s a warning. Europe must decide: will it defend secularism, or repeat the Arab world’s fall under the illusion of tolerance?
