The document discusses the rise of an Islamic Empire across multiple regions including Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania. It asserts that artificial boundaries created by Western nations in the Arab world will dissolve as various Muslim groups consolidate control over geographic areas. This will occur through a "patches" method, with groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Taliban gaining dominance in different regions. The document predicts that within a decade, the US will withdraw involvement from the Old World as it experiences limitations against unwavering Muslim convictions. It concludes that these processes threaten Israeli autonomy and that Israel must vigilantly monitor the unfolding consolidation of an Islamic Empire.

On the Road to an Islamic Empire
Prof. Zvi Sever is a professor at the University of Indianapolis in Indiana, United States.
We are now in the midst of dramatic transitions in the Moslem world, such as the revolution in
Tunisia, Egypt and other countries. The fundamental changes taking place encompass the
collapse of the organizational structure of the country and an attempt to recreate itself once
again.
As I stated in a letter dated March, 1996 to the Prime Minister and Minister of Defense,
Mr. Shimon Peres, an Islamic Empire is now in the process of rebirth and reformation. This
movement is rapidly growing stronger and spreading to different areas, so that it will eventually
include most of the so-called “Old World”, namely the European continent, Asia, Africa and
Oceania. Since the time of writing that document (see also “The Emergence of a New Islamic
Zvi Sever, 2008) this phenomenon has only gained momentum. The road to an Islamic Empire
will be paved by a combination of processes, and one of them will involve the transformation of
the basic organizational structure.
Thus, for example, the artificial process being forced upon the Arab world— the setting of
boundaries and the creation of new states— will become the first victim for the sake of
consolidation of the Islamic Empire. We will witness the dissolution of these states and the
organization of new rule, as will be realized through the “patches” method.
For this reason, more and more “patches of belonging” will appear on the map of those areas
that are still lacking statehood and have no definition and unifying cohesiveness.
Thus the “Hizbollah patch” appeared in Southern Lebanon, and another “patch” emerged in the
empowering of Hamas in northeast Egypt (what we refer to as the Gaza strip). There is also a
patch in the stronghold of the Taliban in Afghanistan and many other patches of control from
Muslim groups. In coming years we won’t be surprised to note old and new Muslim groups
which have taken dominion over certain geographical regions and follow a devout way of life
according to the religious dictates of Islam. This process, which is presently limited mainly to
the Arab world, will soon engulf other nations with other Muslim populations (Arabs comprise
only about 20% of the total Muslim population).
As this process continues, we will note how reconsideration will take place in the United States.
This nation, which crossed the oceans and brought about turmoil in the Old World during World
War II, has become the most influential nation on earth. For the first time in the history of the
human race, a mere 4% of people has radically affected 100% of the world’s population. And

2. this impact is perceptible in every tent, hut, house, apartment and building on the globe. Now
that they are experiencing the limitations of power against the unwavering convictions of the
Muslim faith, it seems that Americans are beginning a process of clarification which will
continue beyond the current (and possibly the next) Presidential Office of President Obama. At
the end of this process, and within a single decade, the American people will either withdraw or
disengage from the Old World, for the first time since World War II.
It must be remembered that we cannot change the irrevocable past, and therefore these
processes threaten the future existence of an autonomous Jewish State in this region of the
planet.
We, the Israeli people, are incapable of having any real impact on this highly significant process
of the 21st century: the concretization of an Islamic Empire throughout most parts of
the Old World and the American reluctance to get involved in suppressing this. Thus,
we must be highly vigilant and aware as this dual process continues to unfold, and to
engage in internal dialogue concerning our place in the hierarchy of events.
