Revolutionary Spark in the Evil Empire!
By: Kayhan Int’l Staff Writer
Is it the first spark of a revolution in the history of the USA, a country dominated by white supremacists and acting since World War 2 as a willing instrument of Zionism and its terrorizing policies around the world?
We mean the election to the Senate of the first Muslim, and that too a practicing one, opposed to fraud, corruption, and exploitation, and adherence to the concept of justice and humanitarian values based on universal brotherhood.
Abdur-Rahman Mohammad Al-Seyyed, the 42 year medical professional of Egyptian stock, a US citizen by birth, married to a fellow Muslim woman of Indian origin, and aspiring for fairness in society, not just for his state Michigan or the country as a whole, but on the international level as well, is certainly a voice to be eagerly heard.
He is a welcome addition to the slowly but surely changing face of the US where the evil empire is about to fall, as was evident earlier this year by the election of Zohran Mamdani as the first-ever Muslim mayor of cosmopolitan New York strongly opposed to the international terrorism of the devilish duo –Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu.
Al-Seyyed, who defeated his rival of the Republican Party with a handsome margin, was quick to question whether Trump who claims that he and not Democrat Joe Biden, had won the US presidency in the 2020 elections, was not his own habitual lying self!!!
Irrespective of the exposure of Trump’s suicidal war against Iran or his criminal support for the illegal Zionist entity that brought about the downfall of the Republican Party in both the chambers of the Congress, one quote from the first Muslim senator, has attracted the world’s attention.
It is indicative of Al-Seyyed’s insight when he quoted the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Taleb (AS) on the equality of the human race by pointing out to that wonderful book, the Nahj al-Balagha.
He said in clear words when he referred in his public speech to the Imam’s instructions in Letter No. 53 – actually a manifesto for good governance – to the newly appointed governor of the then Christian majority Egypt, Malik al-Ashtar.
Al-Seyyed showed his deep knowledge and his own commitment to fairness in a polyglot society by quoting the Prophet’s Heir as telling al-Ashtar: People are of two kinds. Your brothers in faith and brothers as fellow humans – and social justice means, neither of them should be alienated.
