9th August 2014, Obama Vows to Continue Iraq Airstrikes 'If Necessary'

The United States launched a series of airstrikes against IS in northern Iraq on Friday, using Predator drones and Navy F-18 fighter jets to destroy rebel positions around the city of Erbil.

"We've begun a humanitarian effort to help those Iraqi civilians trapped on that mountain. The terrorists that have taken over parts of Iraq have been especially brutal to religious minorities-rounding up families, executing men, enslaving women, and threatening the systematic destruction of an entire religious community, which would be genocide," said Obama.

"The thousands-perhaps tens of thousands-of Iraqi men, women and children who fled to that mountain were starving and dying of thirst.  The food and water we airdropped will help them survive.  I've also approved targeted American airstrikes to help Iraqi forces break the siege and rescue these families."

"...when countless innocent people are facing a massacre, and when we have the ability to help prevent it-the United States can't just look away," Obama said. "That's not who we are. We're Americans.  We act.  We lead.  And that's what we're going to do on that mountain. As one American who wrote to me yesterday said, "It is the right thing to do."  (Source www.businessinsider.com)

Comment:

The immediate decision and prompt action by US President Barack Obama to launch military airstrikes on IS in the city of Erbil Iraq, while nothing has being done to "Israel" in Palestine, showed us the real face of US hypocrisy.

Since early of July, Gaza is being attacked by "Israel" and more than 2000 of innocent civilians have been injured and massacred including women and children. Houses, mosque and schools being bombarded by the rockets with no sense of humanity and these entire places are demolished into ash.

No food and water, no place for the shelter, not even a single humanitarian effort by US to the Palestinian people. On 4th August 2014, Barack Obama has approved $225 million emergency aid to "Israel" for the military assistant instead.

Muslims must realize that whatever the US plans and actions are merely based on their rules of interest in the region. It is the US interest to help the independent of Northern Kurdish from Iraq. US is dividing further the Muslims in Iraq and inciting internal conflict between Sunni and Shia. It is the US's main interest to help its allies "Israel" to kill the innocent people in Gaza. The "humanitarian" effort in the city of Erbil is another lie to the world.

The issue of Palestine led by US, assisted by its ally, Egypt is facilitating the issue to be solved through the peace dialogue. Should the Muslim take the enemies of Allah as the assistance, when it is clear evidence what they do is nothing more to protect their own interest and hatred to the Muslim?

Allah (swt) said in Al-Quran,

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا بِطَانَةً مِنْ دُونِكُمْ لَا يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبَالًا وَدُّوا مَا عَنِتُّمْ قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَاءُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ ۚ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الْآيَاتِ ۖ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

"O you who have believed, do not take as intimates those other than yourselves, for they will not spare you [any] ruin. They wish you would have hardship. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater. We have certainly made clear to you the signs, if you will use reason." [Ali Imran: 118]

US and its allies are the enemies to Muslim and should not be taken as friend or protector. They work with each other against the Muslims. We should support Allah and Allah will grant us the victory.

((يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ تَنْصُرُوا اللَّهَ يَنْصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُمْ))

"O you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will support you and plant firmly your feet." [Muhammad: 47].
