Is the US descending into further chaos?

Newly formed NFAC militia in Georgia

The United States of America is currently undergoing turbulent times since the brutal killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black American by police in Minneapolis. The killing ignited spontaneous protest marches across the United States calling for an end to police brutality on African Americans, racial inequality and injustice towards people of colour.

The protests organized by Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement received support from all racial and ethnic communities across the United States. Millions of people marched in cities and towns demanding justice for all those killed under police custody. Black Americans have become so frustrated with the status quo that they have decided to form their own militias to protect and liberate members of the black community.

    

The disproportionate use of force by the police to disperse the protesters prompted the United Nations human rights office to issue stark warnings to US authorities. The law enforcement officials have attacked journalists and either confiscated or destroyed their equipment on several occasions.

President Donald Trump often busy with China bashing amid the Covid-19 pandemic calls the BLM protesters as anarchists, agitators and looters trying to undermine everything the United States stands for. President Trump denies there exists oppression, racism, injustice, bigotry and bias towards non-whites in the United States.  

Yemenis will not give in to subjugation

Four years ago Saudi Arabia launched its brutal military campaign against Yemen with the hope of crushing out Houti Ansarullah movement and restoring the unpopular President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi to power.

Millions of children face starvation in Yemen

The war on Yemen turned out to be the biggest blunder and miscalculation ever made by the Saudi Kingdom. Though Saudi coalition bombing has destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and driven the country into starvation, the Yemenis are not a type of people that will give in to aggression, plunder and subjugation. The arrogant Saudi rulers want to rob Yemenis of everything, including their rights to determine their own future.

The Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) is determined to keep waging the illegal war on Yemen while claiming the Houthis were an Iranian proxy even before the intervention. The attack on Yemen was necessary to prevent Iranian influence in the region was a fabricated lie.

Saudi foreign policies are dictated by their masters in Washington in order to subjugate and humiliate the people of Yemen. Before the Saudi imposed war on Yemen began in 2015, the Saudi planes had begun aerial attacks on Houhti positions as far back as 2009. After an attack on US embassy, the United States issued an indirect warning on Yemen by threatening to invade and eliminate al-Qaeda terrorists. The United States trying to play victim hires terrorists and mercenaries to stage attacks on itself to justify its nefarious agenda.

Teachers dismissed for wearing face-veil restored to their jobs

Many face-veiled women working as teachers in schools who were dismissed by the former educational authorities under President Yamin Abdul Gayoom has been reinstated to their jobs. This has been announced by the current Minister of Education Dr Aishath Ali who stated that it is unacceptable for a person to loose job for wearing a style of clothes permissible under social norms.

Dr Aishath Ali

It was a promise made during the presidential campaign by President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih to employ all individuals who lost their jobs while refusing to bow down political pressure from the former administration of Yamin. Speaking during a programme on Raajje Tv, Dr Aishath said almost all individuls who filed a case of complaint against loosing jobs had been employed again.

Saudi mufti loses royal favour

Many people especially the Salafis around the world are firm in their belief that the institution of Islamic scholarly learning in Saudi Arabia are not influenced by the ruling royal elite. However, the recent events in the kingdom has proven otherwise. One such event is the dismissal of Abdulaziz Al Sheikh, the grand mufti, widely believed to be upon the orders of the king Salman himself.

Abdulaziz Al Sheikh

Since the establishment of the Saudi royal kingdom in the Arabian Peninsula, its successive rulers have bribed or terrorized the Wahhabi clerics in the country to submission. The rulers have used the fatwas extracted from these scholars to push forward their nefarious political agenda. Therefore, most Saudi influenced or funded religious institutions have long lost their credibility in the Muslim world.   

It is not common or perhaps strange for a Saudi mufti to speak in public out of his own accord to inform the people what he believes about a certain matter. The muftis have always spoken to public in the form of religious rulings or decrees. These rulings have to be harmonious or in consistent with the policies of the royal court. The mufti and the highest scholarly institution over which he presides is totally controlled by the rulers of the state.

It certainly is not an isolated incident for Al Sheikh to make such a huge controversial public comment concerning the people of Iran to say that Iranians are not Muslims. It is most likely that Al Sheikh has secretly been mandated or commissioned to make such a move in order to widen the sectarian divide within the nation of Islam.

It seems that Al Sheikh has taken upon himself the medieval papal authority of excommunication. His obnoxious method of excluding anyone or even whole communities (who abhor Saudi-Zionist alliance) from the fold of Islam has disastrous consequences upon all Muslims.

For decades Saudi rulers have used Wahhabi clerics as tools to justify their oppressive rule over the people of Arabia and discarding them whenever they want and appointing others who would do their bidding without any hesitation.

The Wahhabis who now calls themselves Salafis are at the forefront of fermenting a worldwide conflict between Sunnis and Shias within the house of Islam. Though the Salafis are spearheading a movement for collision with Shias, no Shia institution of Islamic learning has issued a religious ruling claiming that Salafis are not Muslims.

Salafis are not Sunnis: Grand Imam of al-Azhar

In an Islamic conference held in Grozny, the Chechen capital, Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of al-Azhar University in Egypt has said Salafis are not Sunni Muslims.

Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb

The conference held on August 17-25 was attended by a large number of Muslim scholars from all over the world to detach or disassociate themselves and Sunni Islam from the terrorist ISIS that have been causing extreme destruction in the Arab countries.

Many well-known scholars in the Muslim world hold the opinion that takfiri terrorists groups like ISIL or ISIS who continues to fight under the banner of Salafism has nothing to do with Sunni Islam.

The remarks by the Grand Imam of al-Azhar outraged the pro-government religious clerics and paid preachers in Saudi Arabia who issued a statement saying it was an attempt to undermine the Wahhabism practiced in Saudi Arabia.

The Wahhabi ideology which slowly evolved into Salafism is the root cause of the CIA-Mossad engineered bogus jihad wreaking havoc in the Middle East and beyond.
