Why would Allah help those bleed each other in his name?

Allah command his followers to fight the enemy against injustice, he did not command to fight eachother in his name.

Muslims will be beaten and humiliated by another nation due to reasons I outline above.

You are true sectarian. Open your eyes.

Because the US has very weak manufacturing capability, and its technological progress also sucks compared to China.

And the only thing they can do is to boast their fake paper GDP.

See how the US is getting annihilated by China in the most recent EV/renewable energy competition, and soon it gonna be the high end chips and AI, then the space race for moon landing.

Russia is becoming irrelevant, and the US will soon become the second Russia.

Yes OIC is hoping that China becomes the world's largest economy. That is the milestone and should be the goal of China.
 

Syrian rebel leader’s victory speech held a message for Iran, Trump and Israel​

In his long journey from young al Qaeda fighter two decades ago, to rebel commander espousing sectarian tolerance, Abu Mohammad al-Jolani has had plenty of time to plan to fine-tune his narrative.

It is no surprise that the Islamist rebel chose Damascus’s venerated Umayyad Mosque – not a TV studio, nor newly absented presidential palace, but a place of towering religious significance, which at 1,300 years old is one of the world’s most ancient mosques – to deliver that message.

It was a message to all those who had taken him to power, and propelled his Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) fighters at startling speed across Syria to oust President Bashar al-Assad.

To the newly liberated Syrians:
“This victory, my brothers, has come through the suffering of those who endured imprisonment,” he said. In a country where the God you chose, and how you pray, can define your class, limit your aspirations and pit you against your neighbor, Jolani sent a very clear signal in the Umayyad Mosque. He is a Sunni Muslim, part of Syria’s majority. Assad was an Alawite. There are Christians, Druze, Shia Muslims, Ismailis and more.

Yet the words he chose appeared intended to break those old bounds. “This new triumph, my brothers, marks a new chapter in the history of the region, a history fraught with dangers (that left) Syria as a playground for Iranian ambitions, spreading sectarianism, stirring corruption,” he said.

To Iran:
He sent an apparent message to Tehran’s theocracy — that their meddling is over, their easy land access to their mega proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon is over, their support for Syrian Hezbollah is over, and gone too is the home they once had for Iran’s weapons stockpiles.

To US and Israel:
This is a message Jolani will know is being heard in Tel Aviv and Washington, where he is considered to be a member of a proscribed terrorist organization with a $10 million bounty on his head. “Your interests are understood in the new Syria,” he said. An understanding on his part that these are the powers capable of bringing him down.

Jolani’s message was also tuned for regional powers he’ll need to keep onside, promising to clean shop. “Syria is being purified,” he said, referring to the country’s regional reputation as a narco-state, saying Assad’s Syria had “become the world’s leading source of Captagon,” an amphetamine-type drug, and criminality through the region.
 

HTS leader not only player in Syria's fast-changing future​

"The game starts now," is how Ms Forestier describes the start of this momentous new chapter marked by an explosion of celebration in the streets, but also critical questions about what emerges next.

As the Islamist Hayat Tahrir-al Shams (HTS) pushed forward with astonishing speed, facing scant resistance, it sparked a rush by rebel forces in other regions of Syria as well as a surge of armed local groups keen to play a part in their own areas.

"Fighting the Assad regime was the glue that kept this de facto coalition together", says Thomas Juneau, Middle East expert at the University of Ottawa's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, who is also in Doha.

"Now that Assad has fled, continued unity among the groups that toppled him will be a challenge," he says.

The groups include an umbrella alliance of Turkish-backed militias known as the Syrian National Army who, like the HTS, dominated a corner of northwest Syria. In the northeast, the mainly Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) groups have also gained ground and will be determined to hold on to their gains.

But HTS's ambitious high-profile leader has seized the spotlight. His rhetoric and record are now under scrutiny by Syrians, as well as in neighbouring capitals, and far beyond. The commander whose militia first emerged as an Al-Qaeda affiliate broke ranks with the jihadist group in 2016 and has been trying to polish his image since then. For years, he's sent conciliatory messages abroad; now he is reassuring Syria's many minority communities they have nothing to worry about.

"There is a cautious welcome to his messages," maintains Ms Forestier. "But we cannot forget the past eight years of his authoritarian rule and his background."

The rule of HTS, both a political and paramilitary organisation, in the conservative province of Idlib was marked by the establishment of a working administration called the Salvation Government, which included limited freedom of religion, but was also marked by repressive measures.

For your information Israel initially supported HAMAS also when it was created by its founders. They thought it would help reduce power of PLA and whole world saw how it backfired on Israel. People of Syria need to now sit together and rebuild their country and Armed Forces and have an election as soon as possible
 
Regional foreign ministers, including President Assad's former staunch allies Iran and Russia, left wrong-footed by this spectacular turn of events, are still calling for efforts to forge an inclusive political process. That's echoed by Mr Pedersen.

"This dark chapter has left deep scars, but today we look forward with cautious hope to the opening of a new one—one of peace, reconciliation, dignity, and inclusion for all Syrians", he said after his meetings here in Doha, where halls packed with senior diplomats, scholars, and officials from the world over are buzzing with the latest news from Syria.

Many observers here seem reluctant to draw quick conclusions about what kind of rule will emerge in a country known for its diversity of Christian and Muslim sects.

"I don't want to go down that line of thinking yet," said one Western diplomat asked about any concerns regarding a harsh Islamist-dominated order. "We're just getting started with HTS, who have led a bloodless coup."

Juneau agrees. "For now, it is good to simply appreciate the truly historical collapse of one of the most brutal regimes of the past decades," he said.
