Trump selects Anti-Islam Cabinet Members
As US President-elect Donald Trump continues to announce his choices for cabinet members, it is becoming increasingly clear that in security matters he is favouring those overtly opposed to Islam. According to an article on Thursday in the Washington Post:
“President-elect Donald Trump said Thursday he has chosen retired Marine Gen. James N. Mattis, who has said that responding to “political Islam” is the major security issue facing the United States, to be secretary of defense.
“We are going to appoint Mad Dog Mattis as our secretary of defense,” Trump told a rally in Cincinnati, the first stop on a post-election “thank-you tour.”
(General Mattis is known in military circles by the nickname ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis because of his outrageous comments about killing.)
It is noteworthy that General Mattis’ last assignment was as head of Central Command, the US military structure undertaking operations within most Muslim countries. It is said that he was removed from his position by the Obama administration for his excessively argumentative stance against American rapprochement with Iran.
General Mattis is only saying aloud what all Western leaders whisper amongst themselves. The West has clearly decided that Islam is their enemy. Their only disagreements are over tactics.
Our present rulers are not fit for defending Islam and Muslims; these rulers need to be replaced by sincere Islamic leadership that will implement Islam and carry its message to the world. Will the Muslim Ummah rise to the challenge?
Tens of Thousands Flee from Eastern Aleppo
With Obama’s presidential term close to ending, it is evident that America has allowed Russia and Syria to undertake massive strikes on eastern Aleppo in order to rapidly achieve their goals. According to a report by the Associated Press published in the New York Times:
“The U.N. said Friday an estimated 31,500 residents have been displaced following Syrian government advances into the besieged eastern Aleppo enclave this weekend, as government media reported from those newly-captured areas, demonstrating its restoration and resettlement efforts there.
The advance of government and allied troops was one of the most dramatic shifts in the conflict now in its sixth year, as their troops marched into areas controlled by the opposition since 2012. Losing eastern Aleppo would cost the opposition its most significant urban presence.”
Muslim rulers are either remaining silent or paying mere lip service to calls for a ceasefire. According to the same article:
“Speaking in Beirut at a joint press conference with his Lebanese counterpart Friday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said a cessation of hostilities should be announced "as soon as possible, immediately.”
America will surely soon call a ceasefire, but it will be announced only after major gains have been made by Syria’s illegitimate regime and their barbaric Russian backers. The purpose of such ceasefires is to consolidate fresh gains and give rest to advancing forces.
Instead of protecting the civilian Muslim population of Syria, our rulers are conspiring with America to return Syria to its control.
Obama meets with incoming United Nations Chief
Obama met on Friday with the incoming United Nations chief. According to Reuters:
“U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday said he was confident that United Nations secretary general-elect Antonio Guterres would be an effective leader of the international organization.
"He has an extraordinary reputation," Obama told reporters ahead of his meeting at the White House with Guterres, a former prime minister of Portugal.”
In fact, the secretary-general has little independence, and is almost wholly subservient to the global powers. The United Nations is in fact a mechanism for a few leading powers to resolve conflicts amongst themselves at the expense of the rest of the world’s countries. The UN is the true descendent of Europe’s great power conference of the 19th Century.
Muslims must reject the United Nations Organisation and expose it for what it is: a vehicle for great power exploitation of the world. The re-established righteous Khilafah "Caliphate" working upon the method of the Prophet (saw) will, with Allah’s permission, demonstrate to the world the true meaning of service to humanity.
