White House expected to issue statement on Jerusalem as capital of Jewish State

Successive American presidents have been issuing six monthly waivers since 1995 on implementation of a law passed by the US Congress on relocating the US embassy in the Jewish state from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Despite US President Donald Trump’s campaign pledges, he too signed the same waiver in June, but is now pressing senior staff in the White House to go ahead with his pledge. According to the Huffington Post:

President Donald Trump is expected to make a key policy announcement next week on the U.S. position on the status of Jerusalem, a decision that may have dramatic repercussions for the delicate peace process between Israelis and Palestinians.

Like other presidential candidates before him, Trump repeatedly promised during his campaign to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The move would placate the Israeli government and conservative allies in the U.S., but would meet a furious response from Palestinians and would complicate the already daunting task of brokering an Israeli-Palestinian peace accord.

Trump has neglected to follow through on his promise in his first months in office, but facing a deadline next week, White House officials have signaled that the president might finally move forward with the plan. In an address last week, Vice President Mike Pence said Trump was “actively considering” how to make the change.

The long-time US hesitancy over this issue is just one more indication of how well America and the West perceive the ascendancy of the Muslim Ummah and the dangers of this for their imperial interests in Muslim lands. Nevertheless, supporting the Jewish entity is intrinsic to the securing of these interests, so America knows that it cannot permanently alienate the Jewish regime.

With Allah’s permission, the Muslim Ummah will indeed rise, as the West fears, and re-establish their state based only on their noble Deen, thus eliminating Western imperial interests and the guardians of these interests implanted within Muslims lands.

Roman Catholic Pope finally mentions the word ‘Rohingya’ after leaving Myanmar

After standing idly by during the mass killing and exodus of Rohingya Muslims, the West sent its leading cleric, Pope Francis, the head of the Roman Catholic Church to visit Myanmar and Bangladesh. However, despite his continued rhetoric about the need for respecting the rights of all, he failed to even utter the word ‘Rohingya’ while in Myanmar, only now remembering to mention them after entering Bangladesh. According to The Salt Lake Tribune:

Pope Francis asked for forgiveness Friday from refugees in Bangladesh for all the hurt and persecution they have endured, demanded their rights be recognized and pronounced the word he had so assiduously avoided only days earlier in Myanmar: “Rohingya.”

In a deeply moving encounter, Francis greeted and blessed a group of Rohingya Muslim refugees, grasping their hands and listening to their stories in a show of public solidarity amid Asia’s worst refugee crisis in decades.

He apologized for the “indifference of the world” to their plight and then pronounced the name of their ethnic group to a gathering of Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu and Christian leaders.

“The presence of God today is also called ‘Rohingya,’” he said.

Muslims have no need for the patronising visit of the Pope. If he is indeed so concerned about the Rohingya tragedy, then he should speak out against America, which continues to defend Myanmar’s newly installed civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi from criticism for her inaction over this calamity. America seeks to use Suu Kyi to establish its control in Myanmar, so that this bordering country can also be used against China; the mass loss of human life is inconsequential for America in the face of its strategic goals.

Pope Francis has no need to preoccupy himself with the affairs of Muslims. Sincere, ideological, indigenous leadership is already present within Muslims and will soon arise, with Allah’s permission, to take charge of our affairs. Pope Francis should instead focus his concern on the West, which has adopted the secular Capitalist ideology and is waging war on all religion at home and abroad. It is this evil ideology that is fundamentally responsible for the suffering of humanity in the world today.

The West struggling to control Bitcoin

After the astonishing recent increases in the price of the digital currency Bitcoin to now over $11,000, this internet-based phenomenon is expected to become mainstream, despite the concerns of Western governments.

According to Bloomberg:

Two U.S. exchanges, including the parent of the venerable Chicago Mercantile Exchange, are racing to embrace bitcoin, dragging federal regulators into a realm skeptics call a fad and fraud.

The development shows how some big financial players are moving to co-opt the volatile cryptocurrency and lure more mainstream investors into the market, even before regulators have agreed on just what bitcoin is.

CME Group Inc.’s contracts will debut Dec. 18. Cboe Global Markets Inc. didn’t announce a start date. Both got the green light Friday after going through a process called self-certification -- a pledge to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission that the products don’t run afoul of the law. The news pushed bitcoin’s price higher.

Bitcoin generation is independent of central banks and so contradicts a century of efforts that Western elites have undertaken to exert full control over national fiat currencies. Previously, currency was tied to gold, which brought stability, the absence of rampant inflation, and the protection of money from manipulation. The rise of Bitcoin proves that there is a great demand for a return to a currency that is free of central bank interference.

Central Banks and fiat currencies are at the centre of the evil Capitalist financial system that is a means for elite appropriation of the wealth of humanity, leaving them with valueless paper and untold debt. The true solution to this is the return of the righteous Islamic Khilafah State (Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood that will build its currency and financial system on the bimetallic gold and silver standard, as directed by the Islamic sharia, and thus end the role of Capitalist banking within the state.
