American Muslims are disappointed that Donald Trump reneged on his pledge to them so soon after the election. In Michigan, he “promised” the Muslims that he would end the war on Gaza. But he had also told Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “finish the job” in Gaza.

Unfortunately, American Muslims were not paying close attention. By ignoring the ground realities in America, Muslims have failed again. It was unrealistic to accept Trump’s promises.

Muslim concerns have been reinforced by Trump’s pick of Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, Elise Stefanik as US ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz as National Security Advisor and Mike Huckabee as ambassador-designate to Israel.

All four and a host of other Trump nominees are hardcore zionists, rabidly anti-Muslim and unapologetic war hawks (read that as war on Muslims). Like Trump, Rubio, Stefanik and Waltz have all received substantial funds from pro-Israel groups. The evangelical Christian Huckabee denies the very existence of Palestinians.

Commenting on Waltz’s pick, Dave DeCamp, news editor of Antiwar.com wrote: “Waltz is a staunch supporter of Israel and has repeated Trump’s calls to allow Israel to ‘finish the job’ in Gaza....” This is another way of saying accelerate the genocide in Gaza and exterminate the Palestinians. The headline of DeCamp’s article was: “Trump Picks Rep. Mike Waltz as National Security Advisor”.

The American Muslims’ support of Trump is a repeat of the mistake they made in the 2000 presidential race. They fell for George Bush’s statement that the US should carry a smaller footprint globally.

Bush unleashed wars on Afghanistan and Iraq slaughtering millions of innocent Muslims. His presidency initiated the war on terror [war of terror] at the behest of zionist Israel.

Are American Muslims unaware that in his first term as president, Trump banned immigration from seven Muslim majority countries? He is extremely anti-immigrant accusing them of indulging in crime and even falsely claiming they eat people’s pet dogs and cats. He has especially targeted people from Latin America vowing to expel them as soon as he takes office.

It was the Muslim vote that enabled Trump to win Michigan, one of the swing states, as well as secure victory in other states because Muslims either voted for Trump, or did not vote for his Democratic rival Kamala Harris. While the Muslim decision to not support Harris because of Joe Biden’s support for Israeli genocide in Gaza was correct, to fall for Trump’s promise reflects political immaturity, indeed naivety.

It is small consolation that Trump did not choose Mike Pompeo or Nikki Haley for cabinet posts. The caste of villains and criminals he has tapped for inclusion are no better, in fact much worse.

The trouble with America is that while non-Americans have no say in who the president of the United States should be (incidentally, nor do most Americans!), he has enormous impact on the lives of billions of people worldwide.

Let us list some of the areas that Trump’s decisions impacted in his first term as president. In 2017, he recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and opened the US embassy there. At a stroke he overturned decades-long US policy and international consensus. He also recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights, in clear violation of international law.

In September 2020, Trump brokered the “Abraham Accords” between Israel and the Arabian regimes. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain recognized the zionist entity. This was followed by Morocco and Sudan. These were meant to bury the Palestinians’ quest for independence and statehood.

The Saudis were on their way to “normalize” relations with Israel but for the October 7, 2023 Al-Aqsa Storm by the Islamic resistance in Gaza. It stopped the Arabian rulers’ treachery in its tracks. Regardless, Trump managed to strengthen Israel’s regional integration.

Despite its enormous footprint, that has shrunk somewhat now, the US is not the only problem. Anti-Muslim venom is spewed from many quarters whose roots can be traced directly to Tel Aviv. And it did not start in October 2023; the crusade against Islam has been going on for decades.

We need to examine the reasons for this phenomenon but first let us reflect on last month’s attacks by zionist hooligans on pro-Palestinian protesters in Amsterdam. The Dutch authorities’ reaction was also revealing.

The Israeli football team, the Maccabi Tel Aviv, played against Ajax Amsterdam on November 7 (For the record, the zionists lost 5-0). A pro-Palestinian rally was attacked by Maccabi fans a day before the match. Zionist hooligans also attacked pro-Palestinian protesters outside the Johan Cruyff Arena in the Dutch capital on the night of the match.

Maccabi fans included Israeli soldiers who had participated in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Attacks on pro-Palestinian protesters were preceded by Israeli hooligans chanting racist and vulgar slogans against the Palestinians in Amsterdam.

In one video, the zionists were heard singing: “Let the IDF win, and f*** the Arabs!” Another video captured a zionist screaming: “F*** you terrorists, Sinwar die, everybody die.” This was a reference to Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar who was martyred on October 16 in Rafah while fighting the zionist invaders.

Dutch politicians of all stripes condemned Amsterdammers who defended themselves and their properties from zionist attacks. Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof posted on X (November 8): “Completely unacceptable anti-Semitic attacks on Israelis. I am in close contact with all those involved.”

He went on to say he was ashamed of what happened in the Netherlands. How do people defending themselves against zionist attacks become anti-semitic?

Not everyone in the Netherlands, however, was so blind to zionist terrorism. Amsterdam City Council member Jazie Veldhuyzen was quite clear: “They [the zionists] began attacking houses of people in Amsterdam with Palestinian flags, so that’s actually where the violence started.”

The Dutch premier could not be oblivious of what council member Veldhuyzen had said. The police admitted that it was the zionist hooligans who initiated attacks on pro-Palestinian protesters leading to their retaliation.

What happened in Amsterdam last month or what has gone on elsewhere in Europe—England, France, Germany, Austria, or even so-called peaceful Sweden—are reflective of a much larger problem. And zionist fingerprints can be seen everywhere.

Why are immigrants in general and Muslims in particular targeted in the west? Immigrants are seen by whites as ‘swamping’ their land. They also fear losing their privileges in society.

Muslims are feared even more because they refuse to accept western social values. Family structure in the west has disintegrated. Muslims maintain strong family bonds. Further, most Muslims have remained attached to their faith. This is reflected in large attendances at mosques while churches remain empty.

If Muslims cannot be detached from their faith, they cannot be influenced like other groups to serve the white man’s agenda. In short, Muslims cannot be integrated into the larger society. They do not drink, do not indulge in pre-marital sex and shun other vices prevalent in society.

The white-dominated establishment in every western country—in Europe and North America—sees this as a problem. They have gone to extremes to force Muslims to abandon their faith.

In France, girls in state schools are forbidden to wear the hijab since 2004. Then came the burkini ban. Muslims women wearing a full-body covering to swim have been arrested. The west takes pride in individual freedom but is unable to tolerate Muslim women covering themselves. Women are only free to uncover themselves.

Qur’an burnings are another phenomenon widespread in Europe and the US. The clear intent is to provoke the Muslims and show them as being “intolerant”.

If in some countries, mosque minarets are banned (Sweden), in others the police have attacked mosques and shut them down completely after making scandalous allegations (Germany). Every policy is driven by anti-Muslim hatred.

Zionist Israel’s hand is evident behind all these policies. Muslims have made major inroads especially among the young people in exposing the true nature of zionism. The Israeli genocide of Palestinians has led to an awakening that the zionists are terrified of. They see their carefully-crafted image of history’s perpetual victims crumbling.

Without this image, the zionist project cannot be sustained or survive.
