The rise of the prominence of economics as a discipline is inevitable with the mechanization of war. Strategy and tactics matter less and less, and the outcomes of wars are increasingly determined by economic exhaustion rather than spectacular tactical victories.

The reliance on costly military-industrial complexes for security puts massive pressure on nations to integrate into the globalized liberal order, because such a wide range of materials and inputs are required for the development and maintenance of these complexes. This pressure is one of the main control mechanisms used to suppress sharia.

The successful resistance of the liberal order by the Muslims of Afghanistan signals a shift towards an alternative model which can be replicated and deployed elsewhere with the permission of Allah. This model could be called a high fertility, low technology model. It’s not really low technology, though, because humans and animals are actually much more sophisticated than any man-made technology. What I mean by technology here is mechanized, industrial, humanmade technology. The kuffar sacrifice fertility for this technology, thus pursuing a low fertility, high technology strategy.

This sacrifice takes the form of trading early marriage for lengthy education to generate technicians capable of producing, maintaining, and operating technology. In other words, they choose to rely on what their own hands produce rather than upon the creation of Allah. Not only do they delay marriage to accomplish this, they also kill their children through contraception and abortion.

They also use their technology to attack and kill children in other countries, insult these countries as being inferior because of having lower life expectancy, and then offer “development” assistance to help them increase their life expectancy. They believe their way of life is superior, so they try to impose it on everyone else in the world.

The reality is that it’s impossible for everyone to live like them because the earth is not designed to support this kind of lifestyle. In fact, people chasing the false hope of being able to live this lifestyle is the main reason that the kuffar are able to afford it in the first place, because people running after this false hope generates demand for Western goods and services, and Satan’s beautification of this evil lifestyle also helps to convince Muslims to accept the invasion, occupation, and acculturation of their lands.

The remedy for this disease is to obey Allah and his Messenger ﷺ with regards to marriage: marry as soon as you have the ability, and don’t kill your children for fear of poverty. Don’t damage your family by looking at or interacting with non-mahram women, or allowing your wife to interact with non-mahram men. This results in loving marriages that produce children faster than the kuffar are able to kill them.

This is why the IMF makes “development” loans conditional on higher female participation in formal education and the formal labor force. This directly undermines a society’s ability to resist the liberal order. Placing an expectation of formal, secular education upon girls encourages them to delay marriage, thus lowering fertility. When they use this education to go and work outside the home, the quality of marriages declines and divorce increases, lowering both the quality and quantity of the population, and pushing them instead toward dependence on Western-dominated forms of government and industry.

It must be understood that programs that promote secular education, particularly among girls, are direct complements to hostile military actions by disbelieving nations, so it makes no sense to treat invading soldiers differently than those who are actively engaged in promoting and implementing these kinds of programs. The strength of the Islamic economic and political system is supported by modesty, just as fahisha is integral to the strength of the liberal economic and political order.
