Obama presidency will bring no change in the Muslim world

London, UK, 5 November 2008 – The western world is rejoicing at the election of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America. The hatred for Bush and the unpopularity of US policy over the last 8 years has been hugely damaging for the ‘freedom and democracy’ brand and many hope Obama will be the saviour who will change America’s image as a war monger in the world.

Commenting on Obama’s election, Taji Mustafa, media representative of Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain said, “America is not one man. America is its institutions, which have compromised the very principles they claim to uphold. America has its capitalist system whose weaknesses lie exposed. One man can never change those problems that are systemic in a state, no matter how eloquently he pledges to do so. America is a capitalist state with a capitalist foreign policy and that is to colonise other states. As such she will seek to maintain her domination of the Muslim world and continue that capitalist agenda of exploitation. Presidents come and go, policies may be amended, but there will be no real change.”

“We should look beyond personality and evaluate declared policies. Barack Obama has declared his willingness to attack Pakistan, intensify the war in Afghanistan and keep promoting disaster capitalism. He has also pledged unstinting support for the brutal Israeli occupation of Palestine. Where is the 'real' change from the policies of George W Bush?”

“Real change in the Muslim world cannot come from having faith in one man. It will never come from emulating a failed capitalist system. It will only come when the Muslim world transfers its faith in Islam to faith in Islam's political ideas and restore the Islamic Khilafah: an accountable, just system, not open to manipulation, which puts the poor and needy at the centre of its economic programme, and which will defend its lands from occupation and exploitation.”

We should rely only on ourselves & ask Allah to give us "HIDAYAT" & reward us with better leaders.most of all we shouldn,t out of way expect from others specially from YAHOOD & NUSSARAHS.

u r right

There is no doubt that v should always seek help from Allah but i think Obama's administration will be helpful than Bush's because i believe they reaslied that without Pakistan's help that can't win there terriosm fight.

So i think this would @least help pakistan's economy.

Yeah Yeah..... If you dont like the policies of western countries than perhaps you should re-evaluate the situation of muslim countries. Come on guys, who are you fooling.

IF EVERY MUSLIM MALE GREW A BEARD AND EVERY SISTER WEAR A HIJAB THAN PERHAPS WE GOT SOME MORAL GROUND TO WAVE OUR FLAG FROM ....

What i mean is ..... im born and raised in the uk but i still get off my a.. and keep a check on my roots

NOW when my parents arrived here ( uk) along with thousands of other economic migrants , the only things they were interested in was cash, which is ok but chasing the dunya at the expense of your spiritual wellbeing is the cause of most problems, if all the Pakistani muslims came here (uk) and stuck to what they were taught as kids ( Quran ) then may be the westerners like my self would be more in tune with muslims.
