Q
THERE WAS
NO SHORTAGE OF
PRIESTS, MYSTICS AND GURUS
WHO ARGUED THAT THEY ALONE
HELD THE SOLUTION TO ALL OF HUMANITY'S WOES,
INCLUDING TO THE NEW PROBLEMS CREATED BY THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION.
For example, between 1820s and 1880s AeGYPT (backed by Britain) conquered Sudan & tried
to modernize the country & incorporate it into the new international trade network. This destabilized
traditional Sudanese society, creating widespread resentment & fostering revolts! In 1881
a local religious leader, Muhammad Ahmad bin Abdallah, declared that he was the
Mahdi the Messiah), sent to establish God's law on earth![See Dad's Army!]
His supporters defeated the Anglo-AeGYPTian army and
beheaded its commander - General Charles Gordon -
in a gesture that shocked Victorian Britain!
They then established in Sudan an
Islamic Theocracy governed by
shariah law, which
lasted until
1898.
