Press Release
Elections in America and Britain Compete in Targeting Islam and Muslims
(Translated)

Amid the patronage of both America and Britain for the massacres committed by the Jewish entity, which was established by the British Empire itself, and after more than nine months of their support for the bloodshed of Muslims in Gaza, presidential and party election campaigns are currently underway in America and Britain. In these campaigns, those who consider themselves most deserving of leading these two colonial states, which have starved and humiliated nations, making their greatest efforts to obtain a morsel of food, a sip of water, and a light that now extinguishes more than it illuminates in the major capitals and cities of Islamic countries, such as Cairo and Karachi.

Today, in America, politicians with hands dripping with the blood of Muslims compete, unabashedly announcing their support for the criminal state, the Jewish entity, and even outdoing each other in sending more support to this entity. They blame each other for the shortcomings in supplying them with bombs and weaponries that kill innocent children and women in the Blessed Land of Palestine. Despite Biden extending all forms of military, financial, political, and media support to the Jewish entity, his rival Trump mocked him, calling him "Palestinian" as a reference to his failure in supporting the genocide in Gaza! He hinted that he would increase support for the Jewish entity to achieve its dream of superiority over the Muslim Ummah in the blessed land of Palestine and to annihilate it.

As for Britain, both parties (the Conservatives and Labour) are competing, exploiting the issue of immigrants, most of whom are from Islamic countries afflicted by their governments, which are Agent of Britain and America. They promise to deport refugees and the weak or limit their influx, leaving them to face their fate in seas and oceans. The Hindu crusader Sunak, the British Prime Minister, went to the Jewish entity on a military plane carrying tanks and weapons, boasting about leading a European crusade to invade the blessed land once again!

These are the election campaigns in the great Crusader states, campaigns that call for the killing of Muslims and the support of their killers, and the persecution of the weak and refugees among them. Is there any benefit for Muslims in these elections? Can they find fairness among these conspirators? It goes without saying that Muslims have no stake in these elections; they are the victims and the sacrifices. The difference between the Conservatives and Labour and between the Republicans and Democrats is in the mechanism and tool of slaughter, so it is inconceivable that someone who wants to kill us with cannons and tanks is better than someone who wants to kill us through starvation, drowning, or other means!

Electing any of these competitors is unequivocally impermissible, regardless of the interpretations of the sultan’s scholars and the worshipers of the pound and the dollar. There is no disagreement that electing any of them is a license for them to kill more Muslims and increase their suffering worldwide, particularly in the blessed land of Palestine. Whoever wishes to be a partner to these criminals should appoint someone to vote for them. In doing so, they would be unjust to themselves and would have no part in being allies of Allah.

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى أَوْلِيَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ مِنْكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ]

“O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.” [Surat Al-Ma’ida:51]

Muslims residing in Western countries, including America and Britain, have the duty to defend the sanctities of Muslims from the violations of these criminals. This cannot be achieved by engaging in the conspiracies woven by these candidates by voting for any of them, for they are all faces of the same usurious coin. Rather, it should be done by denouncing them through all possible legitimate means and methods, as permitted by the laws of those countries themselves. This role, in addition to being a duty towards their nation and the oppressed on earth, including the people of the blessed land and Gaza, is also a noble act not contested by any fair-minded individuals and those of values among the independent thinkers in the West.

These days, their voices have become louder due to the exposure of their politicians and political parties and the exposure of the false slogans they have long raised, such as freedom, human rights, and democracy. However, they are in dire need of Muslims who live among them to guide them to the right path and present Islam to them as a civilized alternative to replace the capitalist system that has made humanity and Western peoples suffer.

This is the role of Muslims in the West: the role of bearers of the message of truth to all people, by which they do good to the fair-minded in those countries. Their presence in the West thus becomes positive by the best standards that please Allah, and it leads the people of those countries from the darkness of capitalism and its injustices to the light of Islam and its justice. In this way, they fulfill their duty of delivering the message instead of engaging in the dirty Western political game that is based on the skulls of Muslims and deprives people of their rights. They are callers to Allah to save people, not to dissolve into lost and misguided societies. Allah Almighty says:

[وَلْتَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ]

“And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful.” [Surat Aal-i-Imran:104].
