Islam is in danger: The new Brotherhood game in America after liquidation of Soleimani

As events escalate between Washington and
Tehran following the targeting of the first commander of the Quds Force Corps,
Qassem Soleimani, the international organization of the Muslim Brotherhood, the
United States branch and its representative, the Council on American Islamic
Relations or CARE, are active in employing events to serve their political
agenda and support their allies at home and abroad.
In the wake of the incident targeting the
American militia leader in the Middle East, Soleimani, CARE began publishing
data on the need to respect human rights and the standards of American
citizenship when dealing with citizens of Iranian descent and immigrants, as
well as transforming the purely political struggle of a religious battle that
threatens Muslims.
The Iranian minority file
CARE advisory council published on its
official page on the social networking site Facebook a statement entitled
"Know your rights" for the sake of the Iranians affected by the
current crisis, claiming that a source of its own refused to mention its name.
The statement included the statement of the
executive director of the Washington branch of the Council. It read that CARE
strives to verify the reports received about the detention of Iranian-American
citizens in the ports of entry. In addition to that, the director of litigation
at the CARE branch in New York, Ahmed Mohamed, said that they also received
information about the detention of people of Iranian origin in New York Customs
and Ports, noting that the citizen who arrives in New York is an American
returning from Iran and the authorities must respect human rights.
Ahmad Muhammad added that he also had
information from private sources about the detention of 60 travelers of Iranian
origin and their interrogation with inappropriate questions about their
political views and their vision about the current Iranian authority and its
practices towards American and international society.
Political maneuvers
The CARE Foundation entered the
Iranian-American crisis in a different way, as it was not satisfied with
pitting the Iranian minority in the United States, creating a crisis situation
and promoting its expansion. Rather, it exploited the political battle in a
religious way to hone sympathy against Trump.
The CARE Foundation highlighted Trump's tweets
about US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Congressional Democrat leader Chuck
Schumer reposting a photo showing Pelosi and Schumer with a headscarf (hijab)
behind them, Iran's flag, to signify that their positions in parliament serve
Tehran, not Washington, with regard to the campaign that Democrats led against
Trump to undermine the use of force against Iran as well as to try him on
domestic issues.
Then, CARE turned the tweet from a mere
internal political struggle into a religious crisis to reduce Trump's
popularity and promote the need to withdraw confidence from him.
The Council of American Islamic Relations
published a statement on January 13, 2020 in which it expressed its
dissatisfaction with Pelosi’s veiled display of the negative connotation it has
towards Muslim dress and increases Islamophobia in the country.
In the statement, the CEO of CARE Nihad Awad
said, “Trump's tweet expresses the lack of professionalism, heinous attack, and
hostility to Islam and Muslims, which increases the risk of being targeted by
fanatics in the country, accusing Trump of deliberately insulting Muslims
through his policy of religious intolerance and potentially spreading in
Countries.”
Awad called on all Americans of all religions
to oppose the religious hatred promoted by Trump, adding that these acts
increase intolerance.
He pointed out that the Council monitored an
unprecedented rise in intolerance against Muslims in the country during the
recent times, particularly since Trump was elected President of the United
States.
While Awad claimed that the Los Angeles branch
office received a bomb threat at its headquarters during the annual banquet
attended by Democratic Party deputy, Ilhan Omar, referring to Ilhan's
accusation of sympathy for political Islam groups and specifically the base
responsible for the September 11 attacks.
Besides, the council posted on social media on
January 13 that council representatives will be located in Washington
headquarters to respond to media inquiries, interview journalists about this
matter, and discuss Trump's abuses of Muslims.
