Ambition is a foreign concept to Arab and Turkish Moslems on their home ground. If Allah wills that I will be rich then I will be rich, etc. They are barely or in competent fighters but they are ferocious hard to defeat because of that fatalism- If Allah wills that I will die then I will die. And of course there are those 70 raisins or whatever they are.Beating back Islamic advance requires what it required in the past. The strongest Moslem entity must be defeated in battle so thoroughly and that country so devastated that Moslems everywhere adopt the attitude that Allah does not wish for Islam to prevail in this generation/this century. Then Islam will go quiescent for a tie, quiescent and lethargic. The peace will be only temporary, however. The Islamic War that began in the 600s will continue until everyone on earth is Moslem or until no one on earth is Moslem. Ending that War requires killing or forcibly converting all living Moslems, all of them.

If they can blame it on Allah they do not have to do anything - a culture of laziness.

The history of the legat term https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_of_God is interesting:

The phrase act of God has a much older tradition. Its legal origins can be found in Roman law, which heavily influenced the development of civil law in England. In Roman law, obligations arose from duties and contracts.48 For example, a person had a duty to answer a summons or writ. Judges could grant an essoin (excuse) for failure to appear in court or failure to answer a writ if the person were detained by a superior force, vim maiorem.
