discuss Islamic army consolidation

[Oshawott]

With the ongoing Iran-Israel war, Iran has propsed to build an Islamic army that will be comprising of armies of Islamic countries that inlcude Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and others.

While I think that such a move is extremely unlikely, I was wondering what would be the impact of it?

Would we be looking at a communal society at the global level? What are your thoughts?

I think it will make for a perfect opportunity for Americans and other countries to join an Israel foreign legion to help back against the Greatest Satan, Iran.

 

[Apsara]

While the idea of a unified Islamic army has been floated in rhetoric before, actually forming an army around Islam would face enormous barriers: ideological differences, national interests, regional rivalries (e.g., Iran–Saudi Arabia tensions), and differing military capabilities. Countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan have their own internal challenges and would be cautious about being drawn into a broader geopolitical conflict under Iran’s leadership.

Islam is a divided culture. There is division of Shia and Sunnies, and there is a division between Arbas and non-Arabs (or converted). There is no unity in Islam, and I don't see a possibility of Consolidated Islamic Army.
