America’s Arab-Islamic Subjugation

Two days after Israel conducted airstrikes on a Hamas compound in Doha on September 9, 2025, without causing much damage, an Arab-Islamic summit was convened at Doha. The Israeli airstrikes were greenlighted by US President Donal Trump and Jordan, Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia through whose airspace Israeli jets flew 1,800 km to strike Doha would have had advance information. Turkey and Pakistan attended the summit at Doha, in which an Arab-Islamic NATO was proposed, with Pakistan offering a nuclear shield for the alliance.

The charade being played that this alliance was against Israel was most amusing because none of these countries have the balls to fight Israel. On the contrary, it was aimed at Iran and same was the case in the Saudi Arabia-Pakistan Defence Agreement (SPDA). Besides, this summit was orchestrated by Washington in preparation of the 2025 Gaza Peace Summit in Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt, chaired by Trump on October 13, 2025. Peace in Gaza, however, remains questionable with Israel continuing airstrikes on suspected Hamas locations in Gaza and continuing operations in the West Bank, while Trump’s dream of his Riviera and Beach Resort in Gaza remains alive. Peace will remain elusive anyway with the two-state solution not acceptable to the US and Israel. 

Qatar has been funding terrorist organizations, including Hamas, world over but simultaneously posing as the peace broker. This has helped the US use terrorist organizations to advance its national interests. In fact, the American plan to handover Afghanistan on a platter to the Taliban in August 2021 was chalked out between the US and Pakistan at Doha. With US CENTCOM in situ, the US had been attacking Syria for decades in order to kill the Iran-Syria pipeline, promoting Qatar’s oil supply to Europe. After the Israeli airstrike in Doha, Trump signed an executive order vowing to use all measures (including the US military) to defend Qatar, with the text saying Washington will view any armed attack on Qatar as a threat to the US itself.

A recent joke is Turkey issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This is nothing more than Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan posing as a tough guy and saving face after Al-Sharaa (former al-Qaeda terrorist since 2003) was installed as President of Syria by the CIA, Erdogan was most upset by this development. But then Trump hosted Erdogan in Washington and tasked him to revitalize al-Qaeda on the same lines Erdogan armed and trained ISIS with American and British instructors in 2012-2013. So, Erdogan is now training, arming Al-Sharaa’s soldiers/mercenaries at three locations inside Turkey to be unleashed in accordance with what Washington wants – Iran, India, Africa, where? Not surprising AQIS has given a call for lone-wolf attacks in India. Concurrently, Pakistan’s LeT commander Saifullah Khan has publicly stated a top aide of Hafiz Saeed is planning an attack on India via Bangladesh.

Al-Sharaa addressed the UNGA on September 24, 2025, first Syrian president to do so in 60 years. On October 15, al-Sharaa met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. On November 6, 2025, the UNSC adopted an UN-backed resolution to lift sanctions on al-Sharaa and Syria's Interior Minister, Anas Hasan Khattab. However, China’s ambassador to the UN Fu Cong said, “The US proposal did not adequately address legitimate concerns of all parties regarding counterterrorism and security in Syria. The sponsor did not fully heed the views of all members and forced the council to take action even when there were huge differences among council members in an attempt to serve its own political agenda.” The US is now establishing military presence in Syria to counter Russian influence in the region and for the CIA to coordinate al-Qaeda operations.

Within a week of the US invading Afghanistan in 2001, a team from RAND Corporation visited India. When asked how long US troops would remain in Afghanistan, the response was minimum 50 years; reasons given were massive mineral and energy reserves in Central Asia, plus proximity to China and Russia. But US troops withdrew in 20 years for well-known reasons. Now with the craze for securing Rare Earth Elements (REEs), Trump hosted the leaders of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan (C5 Countries) in the White House to boost critical mineral and energy ties. Trump called Central Asia "an extremely wealthy region," saying he wants to make America's partnership with the five countries stronger. After the meeting, Trump announced a US$35 billion investment deal with Uzbekistan. Kazakhstan has signed the Abraham Accords to normalize relations with Israel; countries that signed the accord earlier are the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. 

The US is allowing Qatar to build an air force facility in Idaho (USA) where pilots from Qatar would be trained to fly F-15 fighter jets. The US is also actively considering a multi-billion deal for sale of F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter aircraft to Saudi Arabia. Notably, both Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are immune to China’s genocide against Uighur Muslims, even demolishing mosques and constructing public toilets on the same plots of land.

In 1970, Pakistani troops under Zia-Ul-Haq (later Pakistan’s President) killed 25,000 Palestinians in Jordan, while protests are presently being held in Pakistan presently against massacre of Palestinians in Gaza (https://www.indiatoday.in/history-of-it/story/pakistan-army-mercenary-saudi-arabia-defence-pact-hire-zia-ul-haq-black-september-palestinians-killed-jordan-grand-mosque-zimbabwe-2797005-2025-10-03).  Little wonder then Pakistani Generals and their Gulf Patrons are termed “Prostitutes of the Empire” (read America) by Junaid S Ahmad, Director Centre  for the Study of Islam and Decolonization (CSID), Islamabad, Pakistan (https://countercurrents.org/2025/09/the-prostitutes-of-empire-pakistans-generals-and-their-gulf-patrons/).

The Taliban-Pakistan peace talks are off, which were transitional, with Pakistan fencing and barricading the Durand Line that divides the Pashtuns, and which the Afghans never recognized. Moreover, the TTP are coming home (Pakistan) to roost. Pakistan has rejected Taliban’s demand to not allow drone strikes from Pakistani territory. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had acknowledged providing a base to a foreign country to deploy drones. At the Istanbul peace talks, Pakistani officials admitted that the drone strikes hitting Afghan provinces were being launched from Pakistan under a security arrangement with the US. However, this was deleted from the records.

The latest is Ahmed Massoud, leader of the National Resistance Front (NRF) of Afghanistan meeting ISI General Shahab Aslam in Abu Dhabi, the UAE. Massoud has been asked to expand the NRF and include all the ethnic groups of Afghanistan. No intelligence needed to decipher this is orchestrated by Washington. It must be recalled that the US handed over Afghanistan to the Taliban on a platter in August 2021 after the deal was negotiated between the US and Pakistan in Doha, Qatar. The NRF retreated to the Panjshir Valley to form a new resistance front led by Ahmad Massoud. The Pakistani military then conducted air and drone strikes in Panjshir Valley and provided all help for a Taliban offensive against the NRF.

Finally, it can be safely assumed that the US will continue to subjugate the Arab-Islamic world using its military prowess, terrorist organizations as proxies, submissive, greedy and duplicitous sheikhs/leaders, and Pakistani generals playing the prostitute to the highest bidders. As per the proposed 27th Amendment to Pakistan’s Constitution, which constitutionalizes appointment of Field Marshal (FM), creation of ‘Commander of Defence Forces’ (CDF) and a ‘Constitutional Court; (separate from Supreme Court), Asim Munir will stay FM for life - coolest coup pulled off. The Shehbaz Sharif government will polish Munir’s boots and Trump will have the CDF courtesan dancing to his tune.
