Trump's US election campaign faces collapse in America as accusations emerge of misconduct and disrespect of women

As expected, the American political establishment has begun moving strongly against the political campaign of Republican candidate Donald Trump in the final weeks before the US Presidential elections. According to a report in the New York Times on Friday:

"Several of the Republican Party’s most generous donors called on the Republican National Committee on Thursday to disavow Donald J. Trump, saying that allegations by multiple women that Mr. Trump had groped or made inappropriate sexual advances toward them threatened to inflict lasting damage on the party’s image."

Disrespect and abuse of women is nothing new in American politics simply because it is deeply prevalent in American life in general. The ill-defined Western concept of Freedom, while containing elements of the noble ideal of liberation, also engenders disregard of societal norms and rules. Western men, emboldened by freedom of speech and freedom of the individual, play havoc with male-female relations. Women are heavily portrayed in the media as objects of exploitation instead of persons deserving the highest of honour and respect in society. Those living in Muslim societies cannot even imagine the degree of present Western depravity.

Trump has simply been behaving as a normal Western man, as his apology indicates when he says that this is simply usual 'locker room talk' and that ex-President Bill Clinton has said far worse to him while playing golf. The Western establishment is exposing this now for ulterior motives, just as the actions of President Clinton were exposed near the end of his term, which Hilary Clinton at that time publicly blamed on a 'vast right-wing conspiracy'.

Trump was only strongly patronised during the Republican primary campaign due to the weakness of Jeb Bush and the threat of Bernie Sanders. However, the American political establishment has no intent of appointing him as president, when they have a strongly pro-establishment alternative in the form of Hilary Clinton.

This all is the true face of Democracy, another ill-defined Western concept. The people vote but the political establishment has dominant control over their options and even their thinking.

Nigerian President faces criticism in the West for his comments about his wife

Answering questions about criticism by his wife at a press conference in Berlin, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari responded that his wife's place is the kitchen.

These comments have been seized upon by Western media to boost their portrayal of Muslim societies as suppressive of women. In fact the reverse is true.

Firstly, it is almost unheard of for politician's wives in the West to criticise their husbands, let alone a President's wife, the so-called 'first lady'. Simply the fact that Aisha Buhari had the confidence to do this says a lot about Muslim society. Secondly, Aisha Buhari has been politically active previously and had participated strongly in her husband's election campaign, so even President Buhari does not really think that women should not be part of politics. He was simply trying to counter a political attack from his wife.

Nigeria's Muslims should feel proud that Islam has given women the confidence to involve in politics and be outspoken about political matters, even if against their husbands' views. However, the Muslims of Nigeria should also realise that Islamic values are under threat as long as our political systems are dominated by Western thinking.

President Buhari's failure in addressing political issues in Nigeria is not simply because of some personal incompetence but because of the failed Nigerian political system. Only a return to ruling by Islam will return Nigeria to the great civilisation it experienced under Hausa rule previously.

Jewish entity criticised by America in UN Security Council

US President Obama, whose personal conflict with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is well-known, has found an opportunity in the UN Security Council for America to criticise ‘Israeli’ policy. According the news website middleeasteye.net:

'Israel is creating a one state reality on the ground by building and expanding settlements in the West Bank, the United States said at a special UN Security Council session on Friday.

'Deputy US ambassador to the UN, David Pressman, told the Security Council - at a meeting titled "Illegal Israeli Settlements: Obstacles to Peace and the Two-State Solution" - that Washington strongly opposes the settlements, which he described as "corrosive to peace".'

In fact the Jewish entity’s entire presence on Palestinian land is in accordance with American planning, direction and support in order to fulfil strategic American objectives in the region. Clashes such as these in the Security Council, or Obama's personal conflict with Netanyahu arise only because theJewish entity’s mismanagement of the situation and America's need to protect ‘Israel’ from its own stupidity.

The latest conflict is only further indicative of this. It is receiving little coverage in the Western press, and the criticism itself was delivered not by Obama, Biden, Kerry, or even the UN Ambassador Samantha Powell. Instead it was left to the US Deputy Ambassador to the UN, David Pressman, to make these comments.

Conflict between a master and his servant is normal and does not prove that the servant is not carrying out his master's wishes.

‘Israel’ has been planted by America as a thorn in the side of the Muslim Ummah. Only the re-established righteous Khilafah "Caliphate" upon the method of the Prophethood will be capable of eliminating it from our lands.
