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 has 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 knows that whatever they do, Allah سبحانه وتعالى will reveal it.
وَمَكَرُوا وَمَكَرَ اللَّهُ ۖ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ
“They plotted and Allah plotted. But Allah is the best of plotters.”
(Ali-Imran: 54)
Do we still believe in human made law of Democracy and take the Kuffar as friends and protectors for Muslims? Allah سبحانه وتعالى reminded us not to take the 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
“You who have iman! do not take the Jews and Christians as your friends; they are the friends of one another. Any of you who takes them as friends is one of them. Allah does not guide wrongdoing people.”
(Al-Maaida, 5:51)
The Khaleefah is the protector for Muslims, follow Allah’s سبحانه وتعالى guidance and the path of His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, then victory will be for us.
وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۥ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فَإِنَّ حِزۡبَ ٱللَّهِ هُمُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبُونَ
“As for those who make Allah their friend, and His Messenger and those who have iman: it is the party of Allah who are victorious!”
(Al-Maidah: 56)
