Trump Threatens Oman, Finds Not One of the Rulers of Muslims Willing to Deter Him
US President Donald Trump threatened to attack Oman, a US ally, if it sides with Iran on the issue of reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said Oman must “behave … or else we’ll have to blow them up,” in response to a question about whether he would accept a short-term agreement allowing Iran and the Gulf state to control the waterway.
“The strait is going to be open to everybody,” Trump told reporters during a meeting with his administration at the White House. “They would like to control it,” said Trump, who stressed the strait is part of international waters. In an extraordinary threat, he added: “Oman will behave just like everybody else. Or else we’ll have to blow them up. They understand that. They’ll be fine.”
Al-Waie: Trump found none amongst the rulers of Muslims to deter him, and thus, in his eyes, they became even more insignificant. They are accustomed to kidnapping, torture, and oppressing their people, while preparing for wars against occupiers is not within their agenda. If Trump had found men among the rulers of Muslims who would respond to him in kind, he would not have dared to make his reckless statements. However, they have become accustomed to humiliation, subservience, and dependency. Only the coming Khilafah (Caliphate), by the Permission of Allah (swt), will be able to restrain him, silence his tongue, and return America to its continent and isolation as it was before World War II.
The Uzbek Regime is Using Despicable Methods to Subdue Steadfast Prisoners Whose Release Dates are Approaching.
The Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir in Uzbekistan issued a press release entitled “The Mirziyoyev Regime Practices the Most Heinous Methods of Repression Against Muslims in Zarafshan Prison!” dated 26 Dhu al-Qi'dah 1447 AH, corresponding to Wednesday, May 13, 2026 CE.
The release stated, “According to the news and reports we have received, there are systematic violations and psychological and physical pressures being practiced against detainees in Prison No. 12 in the city of Zarafshan in Navoiy Region. This abuse specifically targets the members of Hizb ut Tahrir imprisoned behind bars because of their steadfastness upon saying ‘Our Lord is Allah,’ as they are subjected to humiliating provocations aimed at undermining their dignity and humiliating them.
The oppressive regime has once again directed its filthy claws toward the shabab steadfast upon the Deen of Allah, especially those still languishing in Correctional Institution No. 12 in Zarafshan. The crimes committed this time not only contradict human values, but surpass even animal instincts in their ugliness, as they involve vile provocations aimed at crushing human dignity and dishonoring personal honor.
The head of the operational department in the institution, Lieutenant Colonel of the State Security Service Mahmoud Huseynov, along with his aides, continues to use vile methods to subjugate steadfast prisoners whose release dates are approaching, with the aim of extracting forced ‘repentance’ from them and breaking their will. Among these brothers are Asad Allah Ishboltayev and Sodiq Khojayev, against whom what is called ‘the green substance provocations’ are being practiced. This is a filthy performance imitating the policy of the tyrant Islam Karimov, based on threatening the prisoner with sexual assault during sleep in order to force him, under this horrific threat, to write fake ‘letters of repentance.’
These practices reveal the true face of the authoritarian regime and the depth of its hidden hatred toward Muslims. The policy of playing both sides, which this regime pursues today by throwing itself at times into the arms of colonialist Russia and at other times into the arms of crusader America, is the origin and essence of these injustices. At a time when Russia practices the harshest forms of humiliation against Muslim migrants, and while Donald Trump sheds the blood of the Islamic Ummah in Gaza, Iran, and Sudan like rivers, the Mirziyoyev regime seeks their approval by repressing its own people and fellow Muslims with the vilest and most degrading methods.”
Moroccan Rulers Sponsor the Boujloud Carnival to Drag Muslims Back to Pre-Islamic Rimes!
The Boujloud or Bilmawn ritual sparks renewed debate among Moroccans every Eid al-Adha. Some consider it part of the Amazigh cultural heritage deeply rooted in collective memory, while others view it as a practice that has lost some of its original meaning due to the transformations it has undergone over time.
While some voices criticize the Boujloud ritual, sometimes deeming it a “heresy” or a stage for extraneous practices that deviate from tradition, others defend this popular carnival, emphasizing that it is not merely a fleeting costume, but an intangible heritage deeply rooted in identity and history, requiring preservation rather than erasure.
Al-Waie: The rulers of Morocco, having ruined the country, are now striving to transform its people into disbelievers and sinners, coinciding with the slaughter of Muslims and their days of veneration and glorification of Allah (swt). The corrupt regime in Morocco insists on reviving the bygone era of ignorance and its paganism, in a blatant contradiction and reversal of values, replacing the sacred with the base and defiled, and turning days of veneration, glorification, praise, and magnification into days of polytheism, defilement, and the cawing and braying of animals! This is an official policy to mislead the children of Muslims. It is the bygone era of pagan ignorance presented to the children of Islam as folklore and empty talk. It is polytheism and disbelief presented to them as a mockery during a season of defilement, with animal hides and horns and the performance of its antiquated pagan rituals.
The Abrahamic Movement Is Openly Active in Syria
In recent weeks, the Abrahamic Movement has intensified its presence in Syria through a series of appointments aimed at opening channels of communication with various segments of Syrian society. In this context, the Syrian branch of the Abrahamic Movement, headed by Engineer Jamal Sabbagh, issued appointment decrees that included Muhammad Ibrahim al-Sayyid as the movement's director for the Alawite community, Dr. Joseph Freiou as the director for the Syriac community, Dr. Samer al-Ahmad as director of the legal committee, and Sami Nawfal as director of the media committee.
Concurrently, on May 13th, Tom Wegner, founder of the global Abrahamic Movement, announced the appointment of Majd Jbeili as the movement's special envoy to the Alawite community. The movement's leadership in Syria also issued a statement affirming its commitment to dialogue, pluralism, and coexistence, and rejecting hate speech and extremism.
Al-Waie: When rulers rely on the West rather than on Shariah Law and the popular support it commands, the result is that they take orders from their backers. These are the same Western entities that label you a "terrorist" and then remove the label when they find you agreeable. Accepting normalization with the Jewish entity and promoting the Abrahamic religion opens the door for its propagation through political parties, while simultaneously preventing political party activity for advocates of a civilizational Islam project.
Thomas Friedman: How Big a Plate of Crow Will Trump Eat in the Iran War?
New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman said, “Only two questions remain regarding the U.S. war with Iran. One, how big a plate of crow will President Trump have to eat to end this conflict with at least some achievements? And two, will he tell us the crow he’s eating is lobster or filet mignon?”
He adds “Personally, I am fine if Trump has to eat a pile of crow — for instance, the ‘unconditional surrender’ of Iran that he promised will not be coming his way — if it results in Iran relinquishing its roughly 1,000 pounds of near weapons-grade uranium. It would take the immediate threat of an Iranian bomb off the table, and that would be a very good thing.”
Friedman emphasized “But please spare me the nonsense that Trump has secured a perfect and delicious deal. Because securing that highly enriched uranium will not only leave the vile, murderous Islamic republic regime in power (and still holding some 10 tons of low-enriched uranium) — but actually strengthen it in troubling ways.”
He added, “For starters, Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio will all be remembered as the team that gave the Islamic republic a second lease on life just when it was more on the ropes than ever with its own people.”
Friedman believes that, “That’s because the only way Iran will relinquish that near bomb-grade uranium will be as part of a deal that over time lifts the U.S. blockade on Iran’s oil exports and the whole web of U.S. economic sanctions on Tehran. That relief will provide the regime with a huge injection of cash that it will be able to use to buy off — or continue to repress — its opponents at home and to fuel its proxies in Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen.”
The author quotes Robert Litwak, an arms control expert and author of “Rogue States and U.S. Foreign Policy,” as saying that “Trump launched this war of choice with the transformational goal of regime change. He is on the verge of ending it through a transactional deal that will be a variant of the agreement Obama negotiated in 2015, and Trump recklessly jettisoned in 2018, that constrained Iran’s nuclear ambitions.”
Friedman adds that, “Because Trump and his national security team did no apparent scenario planning before the war — relying only on promises by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel that the Iranian regime would fall like a house of cards after a few weeks of heavy bombing — they failed to anticipate what Iran might do with its back against the wall.”
He detailed, “The first was to close the Strait of Hormuz, the vital oil shipping lane through which roughly 20 percent of the world’s crude oil has to pass, a move that sent the price you pay at the pump soaring. With just some drones, cruise missiles and Revolutionary Guards in speedboats firing machine guns, Iran discovered it could put the U.S. economy and many others in a chokehold.”
He adds, “To put it another way, Trump and Netanyahu assumed their multibillion-dollar giant weapons systems could be used to bomb Iran into relinquishing its ingredients for a weapon of mass destruction. Accidentally, though, they enabled Iran to discover it had a weapon of “mass disruption” — cheap drones that could close the Strait of Hormuz.”
The author emphasizes that “Now, and forever, Iranians will know that we know that Tehran can shut off the world’s most important oil tap anytime it wants. This new source of leverage for the Iranian regime is priceless. Trump’s failure to anticipate this is no accident. It is because he thinks he knows everything — when he doesn’t at all.”
