The US says it has signed deals worth more than $350bn with Saudi Arabia as Donald Trump begins his first foreign trip as president.
The agreements included an $110bn arms deal, which the White House described as the single biggest in US history.
On Sunday, Mr Trump will attend the Arab Islamic American Summit in Riyadh and speak about his “hopes of a peaceful vision of Islam”. Aides say the president hopes his speech will resonate worldwide and express “a common vision of peace, progress and prosperity”.
The summit agenda is expected to focus on combating Islamist militants and the growing regional influence of Iran.
Comment:
Some things don’t need further explanation. It is clear as the sun for everyone to perceive. Even for the blind and the deaf-mute with the slightest of Iman in his chest, the Saudi regime puts up in obedience of the US and its president, and has been marked as; disgrace, humiliation and treachery.
That’s why it is unneeded to speak about the 110 billion arms deal which is not aimed at protecting the Muslims but at protecting the US interest and at spilling Muslim blood in the region. Or the submissiveness of the S.A. regime to the biggest enemy state who has shown its clear hatred against Islam and the Muslims. No, I just want to pinpoint on something else and that’s the speech Trump gave at the summit in Riyadh to delegations from almost all the Muslim countries in de world.
No, I don’t want to excavate deep in to his nonsensical speech, where he spoke about “Islamist extremism” and “Islamic terror” and that the battle is between good and evil and not between different faiths, different sects or different civilizations. While he called for a Muslim ban from several Muslim countries domestically and has proved itself internationally as the evil terrorist state whose battle is against Islam and the Muslims. No, that’s also a well-known fact which is clear for anyone to see.
No, I just want to highlight the mere fact that Trump is able to address his speech to an assembly of Muslim countries!
If these leaders and representatives can come to gather as one body despite the anger of their “represented” Muslim nations; and come together for Kufr and fusuuk; to listen and obey a lunatic whose country has waged on Islam and the Muslims, even in their own countries and has a track record of parasitizing and deception.
This, how saddened it may sound, should give hope to the Muslims. Because if they can do all of this against all odds. Then what to think about the unification of the Muslims by a legal representative who they willingly choose for to listen and obey? One who will fight Kufr and fusuq and will run the people’s affairs in accordance with their belief; and who has sworn to protect and save Islam, themselves and humanity at all costs; and has a track record of honour, dignity and justice?
All we need is the political will and determination to switch the weakness of this abnormal and artificial situation of the Muslim Ummah, towards the position this Ummah really deserves. A situation where not Trump address its policies to the world but a Khalifah who address its policies to the peoples of the world.
