Comment

Egypt has a long and strong relationship with the US for more than 65 years with a military aid assistance of hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Sisi's statement towards Muslim Brotherhood and the appointment of US ambassador to Egypt after the nine-month vacancy is happening at the same time of elections this month. It shows Sisi's full commitment as the servant to the US and the continuation of the previous regime Hosni Mubarak's policy. The appointment of US ambassador is an extra support given by US on top of 10 Apache helicopters and $650m assistance to Egypt's military in April 2014.

It means that the plan to remove the idea of Islam and implant the hatred towards it remains the objective of Egypt's regime. It seeks to do so with all its might, with the assistance of its Master, the US. This comes of course atop of the relationship, with Egypt since it is important for the US to continue the policy in the Middle East.

With the people's rule of law or democracy, the Egyptians have made the choice through the election in 2012 but this was not truly applicable to Egypt. The Democracy only applicable to assist the US allies and strengthen its power in the Middle East. The same had happened in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan in which rulers who do not serve US objective or interest will be changed.

Barrack Obama has been honored for human rights stands at Shoah Gala on 8th of May 2014 and has received a Noble Prize Award in 2009, failed to defend the right of the majority of Egyptians who has selected the president in 2012. He was not able to voice the right of people of Egypt to defend themselves in court. Hundreds of Muslims have been killed in Egypt after the military coup led by Sisi and US kept silent of this action. At the same time, he continues in providing aid and military assistance. By resending the ambassador, the US is acknowledging what the current Egyptian regime did as correct. This clearly shows the hypocrisy of the US and the work of its puppet, Sisi. We as Muslim know that whatever they do, Allah (swt) will reveal it.

((وَمَڪَرُواْ وَمَڪَرَ ٱللَّهُ‌ۖ وَٱللَّهُ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡمَـٰكِرِين))

"And they (the disbelievers) plan, and Allah plan (against them): and Allah is the best of planner." [Ali-Imran: 54]

Do we still believe in human made law of Democracy and take Kuffar as friend and protector for Muslims? Allah (swt) reminded us not to take Kuffar as our friend or protector,

((يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى أَوْلِيَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ مِنْكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ))

"O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people." [Al-Maidah: 51]

The Khalifah is the protector for Muslims, follow Allah's (swt) guidance and the path of His Messenger (saw), then victory will be for us.

((وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۥ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فَإِنَّ حِزۡبَ ٱللَّهِ هُمُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبُونَ))

"And whoever is an ally of Allah and His Messenger and those who have believed - indeed, the party of Allah - they will be the predominant." [Al-Maidah: 56]
