Donald Trump Pledges to Continue War against Islam

Since the collapse of Communism, when President George HW Bush immediately engaged in war with Iraq, it is evident that the United States top foreign policy objective has been building and securing its empire in the Muslim world. Obama talked about peace but actually ended up extending George W Bush’s wars and bombing seven different Muslim countries: Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Iraq and Syria. As a final act of his presidency, the Pentagon announced on Friday that an Air Force B-52 bomber killed more than 100 in Syria.

Now Trump is vocally pledging war against Islam, in the name of attacking “radical Islamic terrorism”. In his inaugural speech on Friday, as he assumed the Presidency, Trump said:

We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones – and unite the civilized world against radical Islamic Terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.

And Trump further confirmed this in a statement issued on the White House website, titled ‘America First Foreign Policy’. According to Reuters:

The Trump administration will make defeating "radical Islamic terror groups" its top foreign policy goal, according to a statement posted on the White House website moments after Donald Trump's inauguration as U.S. president.

With Allah’s permission, Trump and others like him will only succeed in unifying Muslims in throwing off the chains of the disbelieving Western imperialists that still retain control over our countries despite formally declaring our countries ‘independent’.

Turkey Now Openly Supporting Assad in Syria

Despite previously positioning himself as a supporter of the people of Syria against Assad, Erdogan is now revealing his true support for Russia and Syria in accordance with the American plan for the region. Reuters reported only on Wednesday:

“Russia said its war planes had joined forces with Turkish jets for the first time on Wednesday to target Islamic State militants holding the town of al-Bab in northern Syria, evidence of increasingly close cooperation between Moscow and Ankara.”

And now Turkey is shamelessly openly supporting Assad; according to Reuters on Friday:

“Turkey can no longer insist on a resolution of the conflict in Syria without the involvement of President Bashar al-Assad, as the situation on the ground has changed dramatically, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek said on Friday.

Turkey has long insisted that Assad must go for sustainable peace to be achieved in Syria. But it has become less insistent on his immediate departure since its recent rapprochement with Russia, which backs the Syrian leader, and ahead of peace talks planned in Kazakhstan next week.

"As far as our position on Assad is concerned, we think that the suffering of (the) Syrian people and the tragedies, clearly the blame is squarely on Assad. But we have to be pragmatic, realistic," Simsek told a panel on Syria and Iraq at the World Economic Forum in Davos.”

Each of our rulers, in turn betrays his true allegiance, which is to foreign powers, instead of to their own people. Erdogan brings nothing to Muslims except war and destruction and the furthering of the plans of the disbelieving imperialist West.

Turkish Assembly Passes Polemic Bill to Boost Erdogan Powers

Erdogan has been working hard to please his American masters by cooperating with Russia over its slaughter of the people of Syria. Erdogan’s reward for this is the increase in his powers as President of Turkey. According to the New York Times:

Turkey's parliament on Saturday approved a contentious constitutional reform package, paving the way for a referendum on a presidential system that would greatly expand the powers of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's office...

In an all-night session that ended early Saturday, lawmakers voted in favor of a set of amendments presented by the ruling party, founded by Erdogan. The reform bill cleared the minimum threshold necessary to put the measures to a national referendum for final approval.

It is extremely dangerous to have large majority parties in democratic systems, as there is virtually no limit on the legislation that they can pass and the powers they can appropriate for themselves. This is in sharp contrast to the Islamic system where the Khalifah is restricted in legislative adoption to the divine texts and the valid Islamic opinions emanating from it. Failure to adequately explain himself on this count could result in his decrees being revoked by the Qadhee Madhalim. The democratic system, by talking of ‘separation of powers’ alleges that legislation can be a check on the executive. But what is happening in Turkey is clear proof of the short-sightedness of this approach. By the Will of Allah, the day is close when these treacherous democratic systems will be overturned and we will see the re-establishment of the righteous Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" (Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood.
