WE are living in a polarised society which is part of the Muslim world that is just as much polarised, if not more. If history is anything to go by, signs of polarisation can be seen pretty early.
The increasing trend appears to be some sort of Divine punishment for some acts of omission and commission related to the early parts of Islamic history.
Perhaps so grave were those acts that the Muslims even after well over a thousand years continue to face the consequences in the shape of polarisation rather than unity.
