News Right Now: Calling the Kettle Black

Welcome to the episode ‘Calling the Kettle Black'

This week the increasingly feeble figure of President Joe Biden mustered just enough discourse to address the global community, by calling Vladimir Putin a "pure thug" and "murderous dictator," in his latest pointed attack against the Russian President as the war in Ukraine rages on. He spoke on St. Patrick's Day at Capitol Hill, Biden said Putin is "a murderous dictator, a pure thug who is waging an immoral war against the people of Ukraine."And earlier Thursday, in a meeting with Micheál Martin, the Taoiseach of Ireland, Biden also zeroed in on the Russian leader, saying, "Putin's brutality and what he's doing and his troops are doing in Ukraine, is just inhumane."

Biden’s comments were of course well received by the European nations who stand to lose economically due to their dependence on Russian gas - and therefore they blindly support the US position (even though behind closed doors they believe Biden to be ineffectual). However, obviously, the Kremlin reacted angrily, saying the comments were unprecedented and described the relationship between the two countries as “very bad”.

Today we see the US as little more than a failing nation deluded by its own ever evolving hypocrisy, and blinkered by its superior opinion of itself as a global peacekeeper and champion of progressive values.

It is undeniable that since the inception of the US, death and destruction of the most grievous nature grew exponentially within North and South America against indigenous populations, to eradicate communities, land grab, colonize, enslave and pillage resources not yet content; however, successive US governments repeated the wicked agenda to secure dominance and privilege on a global scale. Via their immoral foreign policy of securing material benefit at any cost, the US has been at war for at least 227 out of its 245 year history. It has officially declared war 12 times and is involved in scores of wars around the world at any given time. In 2014 it took part in 134 separate military conflicts – and since 9/11 its inhumane so called War on Terror, justifies constant US interference - not only within the Muslim world, but the entire global south, and as far East as is possible to contain the threat to it from China.

The war crimes committed by the US in Afghanistan were even worse than those of the Soviet Union, hiding the reality of its cruelty, unlawful imprisonments and wrongdoings - and all this whilst sloganizing its ‘Democracy and Human Rights’ mantra! Staggering statistics for the twenty year period of the War on Terror indicate well over 5 million Muslims were killed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and Yemen – with tens of thousands more, made disabled through injury and chemical weapons - and millions more permanently displaced, living as refugees in the most sordid of conditions which have led to soaring levels of illness and abject poverty unknown in the Muslims world until now. Whether Republican or Democrat, every recent US president has unleashed a blood bath upon the Muslims in the Middle East through the use of Daisy Cutter and Cluster bombs, the most deadly chemical weapon White Phosphorus, as upon the Iraqi town of Fallujah, an incessant army of unmanned Drones which murder entire families in cold blood while being controlled from air bases 10,000 miles away – and their cheapest weapons – the rulers of the Muslims and the Zionist entity – who shoot, starve, displace and impoverish their own people, by way of oppressive and unjust policies - simply to appease their Western masters, and like lap dogs, hope to win favour with them.

Another example of American imperialism is through its latest deception, where the Biden government pretends to respect and defend human rights, in order to put pressure on China and thus secure its own interests – nothing to do with saving the lives and dignity of the tens of thousands of oppressed Uighur Muslims suffering atrocities there. It is clear to those who understand the failing of any man made system that only the Khilafah, based on the divine speech of Allah swt will manage to stand up to the world’s criminals like Putin and Biden - because every other nation always acts according to its own interests, and stops at nothing however corrupted and tyrannical to achieve their earthly goals.

In contrast, the Islamic army that has a noble cause of raising the word of Allah (swt) and establishing the justice of Islam, will never commit any such crimes nor take any soul except what is rightful. So it is the dire need of the time for the Ummah to establish the Khilafah (Caliphate) and appoint the Khalifah (caliph), to protect itself so that no colonial kufr nation will ever dare to commit war crimes in the Muslims lands - rather they will be expelled from it.So it is the need of the time for the Ummah to appoint a Khalifah to become a reference point - witnessing over humankind with the justice of Islam - unlike the current international community that is witnessing over humankind with the oppression of their evil ideology.

(وَكَذٰلِكَ جَعَلْنٰكُمْ اُمَّةً وَّسَطًا لِّتَکُوْنُوْا شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُوْنَ الرَّسُوْلُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيْدًا)

“And thus we have made you a just community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you.” [2:143]
