Ideological aggression.
Based on what has been said, it is appropriate to highlight the ideological threats directed against our country today. They consist of:
1) aspirations aimed at restoring the Islamic caliphate and uniting Muslim nations under its banner into a new empire;
2) the idea of reuniting the young independent states into the former Union;
3) attempts to falsify our history, national values and the essence of religion;
4) efforts aimed at spreading immorality and corrupting the people morally;
5) actions aimed at causing regional and interstate conflicts through various ideological means.
1. Attempts to restore the Islamic caliphate look dangerous. For example, let's take a look at any literature related to Hizbut-Tahrir, it calls for the restoration of the caliphate. "Akromily" promotes the idea of restoration of caliphate first in Andijan region, then in Fergana valley, then in the entire territory of our country, and then in all Muslim countries. It is known from the history of Islam that after the death of Prophet Muhammad, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (632-634), Umar ibn Khattab (634-644), Uthman ibn Affan (644-656), Ali ibn Abu Talib (656- 661) led one after another. During this period, the caliph was considered the leader of both religion and the state. It later became a kingdom, and in 661-749, the leadership passed from the Meccan nobles to the dynasty of Muawiya bin Abu Sufyan, and was named the Ummayid dynasty. In 749, the throne passed into the hands of the Abdul Abbas al-Safok dynasty, a descendant of Mohammad Payo'ambar's uncles. Their state became known as the Abbasids and lasted until 1238, when they were conquered by the Mongols. At the same time, in the 1924th-1924th centuries, the Fatimid dynasty also established its own state in Egypt and Morocco. From the 4th century, the Ottoman Turks also declared a caliphate, which lasted until March XNUMX, XNUMX. With the declaration of Turkey as a republic, the power of the caliphate was put to an end, and the last caliph, Abdumajid, was expelled from Istanbul to Switzerland in the early hours of March XNUMX, XNUMX. In the XNUMXth century, the Islamic world and other countries are developing along the path of development they have chosen. The historical experience of the past years has shown that it is possible to develop freely even without the caliphate. The caliphate remained in the pages of history.
2. Today, in some of the republics of the former Union, there are forces that want to restore the old regime, and have made this their ideological goal. The former Shura regime ended after the social and political changes of 1991. However, as it is impossible to go back to the past and turn history upside down, independent countries that have found their way, especially Uzbekistan and the Uzbek people, will never agree to return to the old situation. Islam Karimov spoke about the former regime in his work "Uzbekistan is striving for the XNUMXst century" and said: "Today, if we tell the truth about that period objectively, our life at that time is related to world history and if we compare it with the practice, it should be said openly that at that time Uzbekistan had become a one-sided economy - a semi-colonial country with an economy completely dependent on the center. Now, Uzbekistan has chosen its own and appropriate path of development in this regard, it will never turn back from the chosen path of independence.
3. The people of Uzbekistan, the Uzbek people have a great spiritual heritage. But under the influence of the former ideology, our history has been illuminated one-sidedly for many years. But there are still many problems in this area. "It is known from history that the forces that want to subjugate a nation first try to separate it from its identity, history, and culture... as long as the harmful effects continue, the nation will lose its identity, its thousand-year-old traditions It is not a question of losing and turning into a crowd." A force that knows this very well and various polygons strive to separate us from our history and forcefully falsify it. In this regard, they try to use different ways, especially to mislead our youth.
4. In order to instill a foreign ideology into the hearts and minds of the people of our country, our enemies are paying great attention to ideological tools that seem harmless at first glance, as if they are free of politics. In particular, light-hearted or militant films, which have been shown in recent years, are an example of this. It is known that many people, especially young people, watch these movies with interest. It's no secret that many people are prone to riots in their nature and behavior. Taking this into account, the President noted: "That's why most young viewers, who have not yet formed their minds, often learn various evil, savagery and cruelty from such films. As a result, their diet becomes hard, and they don't even realize that their hearts are filled with vices such as stubbornness, violence, and immorality. There are even young men and women who want to blindly imitate the heroes of such shows and films. Because they don't understand how the work they do under the influence of such fabricated interpretations will lead to sad consequences. "Unfortunately, our television shows such films."
5. Another ideological tool that threatens our country is the attempt to create long-lasting regional and interstate conflicts, which some ideological and ideological centers operating in the territory of some countries have taken as their goal. They are trying to smuggle anti-narcotics, banned literature, various weapons from the territory of a certain country to another country. Some of their forces are standing on the territory of Afghanistan, trying to make aggressive actions against the Central Asian countries - the territory of Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, against the lives of the peoples living there, and to shed the blood of innocent people. In the words of Islam Karimov, "Our common enemies, who have committed such bloodshed and hatred, should have no place in our holy land."
These threats are, first of all, the manifestation of aggression in an ideological form, aimed at conquering the hearts and minds of ordinary people, depriving them of their national values, the achievements of universal civilization, and finally taking our country as a dependent.
In order to protect our people from various ideological threats, to form ideological immunity in the members of our society, it was first necessary to arm them with the national idea, the ideology of independence.
After the independence of Uzbekistan, old ideological complications, dry nonsense, old political and ideological structures that were against the interests of our people were abolished in our country. Necessary measures were taken to ensure social justice, security, social protection, rights and freedoms, honor and dignity of citizens, regardless of nationality, religion and belief, and the rule of law. Unpleasant situations that disturb the healthy socio-political environment in the society and confuse the minds of people have been eliminated. The path of unification, solidarity, and rational use of all opportunities for the sake of the interests of the country and the people was taken.
But from the first years of independence, the need for spiritual purification was felt in our society. In such conditions, the President of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov was the first to show the need to get rid of old beliefs for spiritual purification in society, and later he justified the need to create a national independence ideology and drew the attention of our society to it.
The ideology of the Soviets instilled in the minds of people the concept of social equality, in today's terms, the concept of tyranny. Such a mood did not allow a person to take initiative. Because if a person is not interested in the product of his work, he loses the sense of honest work and responsibility. It is possible to get rid of this evil through the national independence ideology. In Uzbekistan, a national independence ideology was developed based on the idea of establishing a free and prosperous Motherland. The main concepts and principles of the idea of national independence were reflected in the works of Islam Karimov and proved theoretically.
The national idea, the ideology of independence is improved and updated according to the progress of social development. Certain rules, introduced by the demand of the times, have passed their function and given way to other more relevant features. The idea of national independence is a product of constant renewal, a product of consciousness and thinking.
The idea of national independence is a collection of political, legal, ethical, aesthetic, philosophical, scientific, ecological, religious, and demographic historical views on strengthening the independence of Uzbekistan and turning it into a great country. It is a very powerful spiritual weapon, an ideological factor that educates in the spirit of faith. For this reason, it is an important task today not to allow the territory of our country to become a training ground for young ideologies, to form ideological immunity in the consciousness, worldview, social attitude to life, and behavior of the people of Uzbekistan, and to instill the ideology of national independence into the hearts and minds of our compatriots. "The way to do this is to strengthen the faith of our people, first of all, our youth, to strengthen their will, to educate them as mature people with their own independent opinion. To establish in their thinking the virtue of not forgetting their identity, preserving and respecting the sacred values of their ancestors. It is to make them live with pride and pride that I am an Uzbek child.
Today, when ideological struggles are intensifying, it is appropriate to establish a healthy attitude in the hearts of young people towards our Motherland, our rich history, our national values, our mother tongue, which is the immortal soul of the nation, the holy religion inherited from our ancestors, and to form their ideological immunity. After all, as our head of state said, before treating a disease, the human body first develops immunity against it. If we can form ideological immunity against harmful ideas in the hearts and minds of our youth, we will be able to educate people who are selfless for their country, homeland and people who will not fall for the deceptions of various "callers".
So, by inculcating the idea of national independence in the minds of workers, it is the command of the times, the demand of the times, to create ideological immunity in them. This is not an instantaneous process. This requires everyone's activity and efficiency. Its implementation will further increase the potential of Uzbekistan, ensure the establishment of a great country in the future, and strengthen the faith of our people.
