In einer Welt, die von Volksbewegungen Andersdenkender geprägt ist, kämpfen diese Gruppen gegen Diskriminierung und Unterdrückung, inspiriert von historischen Kämpfen wie dem der Afroamerikaner. Sie nutzen verschiedene Protestformen, um ihre Identität zu verteidigen und gegen die globale Ideologie anzutreten, die sie marginalisiert. Dabei werden unterschiedliche Phänomene wie "Wokeism" und "Zombeism" thematisiert, während im islamischen Kontext die Idee der Ummah als Antwort auf den Globalismus hervorgehoben wird.

Die geopolitische Lage im Nahen Osten wird durch den Abrahamischen Pakt und die Bemühungen um Frieden zwischen muslimischen Staaten und Israel geprägt.

Diese Entwicklung führt dazu, dass selbst gemäßigte Muslime von Radikalen eingeschüchtert werden. Um die Situation zu verbessern, wird ein Wandel in Israels Ansatz zur palästinensischen Frage gefordert, um einen verhandelbaren Prozess zur Entspannung globaler Spannungen einzuleiten.
