Trump Takes Up War on Muslims

Newly-installed US President Donald Trump has begun actions to continue America’s long-standing war on Muslims by restricting access of Muslims travelling to the United States from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. According to the New York Times:

“President Trump on Friday closed the nation’s borders to refugees from around the world, ordering that families fleeing the slaughter in Syria be indefinitely blocked from entering the United States, and temporarily suspending immigration from several predominantly Muslim countries.

In an executive order that he said was part of an extreme vetting plan to keep out “radical Islamic terrorists,” Mr. Trump also established a religious test for refugees from Muslim nations: He ordered that Christians and others from minority religions be granted priority over Muslims.

“We don’t want them here,” Mr. Trump said of Islamist terrorists during a signing ceremony at the Pentagon. “We want to ensure that we are not admitting into our country the very threats our soldiers are fighting overseas. We only want to admit those into our country who will support our country, and love deeply our people.”

But Trump lies. America’s problem is not terrorism; America is quite ready to commit and provoke terrorism, including against its own population, in order to fulfil its political objectives. America’s real fear is not of terrorism but of losing its Muslim empire, as Muslims have begun rising up against their Western-backed rulers in country after country.

The election of Trump is a last initiative of the American establishment to undertake radical actions to save its Muslim empire. With the permission of Allah, these efforts will surely fail, and Muslims will be liberated by the re-establishment of Islam.

Britain Rushes to Show Support for US Trump

Despite the apparent contradiction between Trump’s populist unethical positions and the West’s stated political values, UK Prime Minister Theresa May rushed to make the first official visit to the new President, demonstrating Britain’s firm support for the new American administration. According to an article in the Guardian:

“Theresa May has said she believed she could a forge a strong personal relationship with Donald Trump, arguing that “sometimes, opposites attract”, as she set out how post-Brexit Britain could work with his country to shape the world.

On the eve of a much-anticipated visit to the Oval Office, the prime minister used a speech to Republican leaders in Philadelphia to pledge that the two countries “have a joint responsibility to lead”, but not as they did before.

May argued that a new “special relationship” would be nothing like the one between Tony Blair and George W Bush, which saw the pair collaborate in invading Iraq and Afghanistan. “The days of Britain and America intervening in sovereign countries in an attempt to remake the world in our own image are decisively over.”

In fact despite May’s denial of intervention abroad, Britain and America continue to be heavily engaged in wars within the Muslim world. And May is fully committed to further deepening Britain’s relationship with America wherever possible, as the same article notes:

Despite the growing controversy in the UK and worldwide about Trump’s remarks on the use of torture, as well as a series of other policies including the border wall with Mexico, May said she was determined to “deepen” links. She added: “It is in our interests – those of Britain and America together – to stand strong together to defend our values, our interests and the very ideas in which we believe.”

In truth, the West bases its values and ideas on self-interest alone and is ready to sacrifice any principles it claims whenever Western interests are at stake.

Clashes between Syrian Factions Point to Foreign Political Affiliations

The true reality of the understanding between Turkey and Russia is now being exposed as opposition factions in Syria enter into clashes with each other. According to Reuters:

“Jihadists from al Qaeda's former Syria branch and rebels who have recently joined forces against them fought in heavy clashes in the northwest of the country on Friday, a rebel official and a monitoring group said.

Fighting between Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, formerly the al Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front, and more moderate, foreign-backed factions erupted this week in areas west of Aleppo and the adjacent rebel-held province of Idlib.

The clashes, which are taking place separately to the main battle in Syria's conflict - that between rebels and the Syrian government - threaten to further weaken opposition to President Bashar al-Assad in the insurgents' biggest territorial stronghold.”

The West will continue to weaken the Ummah as long as they divide in different factions each attached to its own source of foreign funding. In the absence of the Imam, it is essential that those engaged in jihad find a sincere political leadership to unify behind, such as the leadership of Hizb ut Tahrir, which has remained committed to the cause of Muslims and the noble Deen without being contaminated by foreign funding or influence. Such a block would be able to not only evict the Western disbelieving imperialist but also be successful in re-establishing the righteous Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" State (Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood.
