Press Release
America Recruits Malaysia in Its False Call to Fight Terrorism is a Fight on Muslims using Muslims
(Translated)

After the signing of Malaysia and the United States of an agreement last November to strengthen the cooperation in the fight against terrorism, it became apparent that America has recruited Malaysia’s rulers and harnessed this Muslim country to its goals under the pretext of the fight against terrorism. Under the agreement, and as stated by Zahid Hamidi, the Deputy Prime Minister, according to the terms of this agreement, Malaysia can access the US database of known and suspected "terrorists" which contains 1.2 million fingerprints, to prevent the suspects from entering the country and to prevent the use of Malaysia as a transit center. And no doubt what is meant by terrorism, which they agreed to fight and is defined by America, is a war against Islam and Muslims to prevent the establishment of a state that will end the interests of the West there. In addition, Malaysia has another role assigned to it by America, US President Barack Obama said, during his visit to Malaysia, during the summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations last month: "Malaysia can provide unusual support for issues such as addressing misleading speech that has spread and is adopted by terrorist organizations around the world." I.e. to change it according to the American vision and invite people for ideas that will satisfy America. This was expressed by the West when they spoke of "the moderate Islam" as they claim. This is why the head of the Malaysian government, Najib Abdul Razak, said in his opening speech to the summit, "the military measures alone may not be sufficient to overcome the extremist group Daesh or other terrorist organizations and groups in the world," and he stressed that "it is necessary to start research and study why do people tend to embrace extremist ideas? So that we can deal with this phenomenon." He continued, "We must not lose sight of the fact that the ideology itself must be exposed as a lie." On the other hand, the two presidents agreed on the need to expose the terrorist misleading ideology - in their words - and how will it be exposed and for its deception to be known? This is only done through the lie called "moderate Islam" as defined by the West.

Moreover, assigning the role of Malaysia to serve America's goals emerged when Malaysia decided to send the relevant experts to Australia next February to help in the fight against terrorism, as quoted by Bernama news agency that the Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister, Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said that, "The relevant experts will be of the Royal Malaysian Police and the Malaysian Department of Prisons, and the Malaysian Department of Islamic Affairs, as well as university professors." This means the exploitation of Australia (the insolent America's ally and hostile to Islam and the Muslims) to Malaysia in two inseparable lines: First: the fight against so-called terrorism or extremism and to eliminate it, Secondly: to change Islam under the pretext of reform, launched by the former Australian and anti-Islam antagonist, Prime Minister Tony Abbott. There is no doubt that America wants to recruit the whole world to serve its colonial objectives under the pretext of fighting terrorism. Thus it attempted to lead a broad alliance under this pretext, especially after its success in the recruitment of Russia, Iran, and its party in Lebanon and servitude to carry out what America cannot do itself in the face of Syria's revolution in particular, and in the incitement of Europe to contribute and march with it on different interests. America now gathers Muslim rulers in its coalition to the fight against terrorism, like the one took place in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Conference held in Riyadh, which announced the formation of the Islamic alliance to fight "terrorism" and called on the body of the senior scholars of the Islamic world to rush to join the alliance.

In this context also America is recruiting the Southeast Asian countries, especially the Islamic countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia. America used the rulers of Indonesia to fulfill its goals, it was under its grip since the Suharto era, but since the end of the era of Sukarno, and reached its peak during the reign of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, when he signed the overall Indonesia-United States partnership contract in 2010, including the partnership in the fight against terrorism. Indonesia also conducted a cooperation and alliance with countries allied to America such as Iran, Egypt, Australia, and others, America now tried to activate the role of Malaysia. As the US strategy is to fight terrorism and create a moderate Islam, this is why Malaysia strongly used for it.

There is no doubt that the use of each of the two terms: "moderate Islam" and "fight against terrorism" is the way used by America and its allies to prevent the unification of Muslims and the return of Islam in life’s affairs, Allah (swt) says:

((وَلَا يَزَالُونَ يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ حَتَّى يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَنْ دِينِكُمْ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعُوا))

“And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able” [Al-Baqara: 217]

Moreover it is also a way to maintain the colonial interests. Thus, to enter into the alliance with America or cooperation with it is a major crime. It is a colonial alliance and cooperation body which Islam forbids participation in it. Anyone of the tyrant rulers who enters such an alliance, under American influence, is not ashamed of Allah and His Messenger and the believers and seeks mischief on earth. The Almighty says:

((وَإِنْ كَادُوا لَيَفْتِنُونَكَ عَنِ الَّذِي أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ لِتَفْتَرِيَ عَلَيْنَا غَيْرَهُ وَإِذًا لَاتَّخَذُوكَ خَلِيلًا * وَلَوْلَا أَنْ ثَبَّتْنَاكَ لَقَدْ كِدْتَ تَرْكَنُ إِلَيْهِمْ شَيْئًا قَلِيلًا * إِذًا لَأَذَقْنَاكَ ضِعْفَ الْحَيَاةِ وَضِعْفَ الْمَمَاتِ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ عَلَيْنَا نَصِيرًا))

“And indeed, they were about to tempt you away from that which We revealed to you in order to [make] you invent about Us something else; and then they would have taken you as a friend* And if We had not strengthened you, you would have almost inclined to them a little* Then [if you had], We would have made you taste double [punishment in] life and double [after] death. Then you would not find for yourself against Us a helper” [Al-Isra: 73-75]

We ask Allah (swt) to make the believers steadfast as He (swt) made the Messenger (saw) steadfast and to make those who befriended America and its allies taste double punishment in life and double that after death and foil their plots, Allah (swt) says:

((وَمَكْرُ أُولَئِكَ هُوَ يَبُور))

“And the plotting of those - it will perish” [Fatir: 10]
