Long ago, around 711–712, Muhammad ibn al-Qasim (695–715) was deputed by his governor Hajjaj ibn Yusuf of the Umayyad Caliphate as a military commander to invade India at the age of 17, to answer the cry of a Muslim woman who wanted the help of the Muslim Caliphate when she was tortured by the Hindu Raja Dahir, king of Debal (part of Sindh and Punjab, present-day Pakistan). He was accused of torture of Muslims and piracy against Arab ships. He captured Aror, the capital of Brahmanabad and Multan, and established the Umayyad province and Muslim era in the Indian subcontinent. Qasim enforced harsh penalties where resistance was strong, and introduced Islamic law and administration to the region. Ibn al-Qasim was called back in 715 CE and there he died.

Today, not one Muslim woman, but thousands of Muslim men and women were crying in the streets of the USA—Washington, New York, and other states—against the present government of Iran, for this is not the capital of the Muslim world, but thousands of Muslims, and among them Christian women, are tortured and hanged, innocent people of Iran who, without changing the regime, under democratic ways, are still in prison for 40 years. To protest against a government and change it is very clean and democratic, and the right of every citizen of every country, but the present government there uses only torture. Many have said they are advised in Iran to change the regime, but they cannot say who they are, as they will be put to death.

In mid-February, when President Donald Trump was worshipping in a church, he was asked that if the USA attacks Iran, he said he knew a great religious population of Sunni and Shia, and now Christian servants of Shia, so great that no Shia of any calibre can serve and will not serve us on Christian standards. This happened when Imam Hassan and Husain were martyred; their holy bodies were covered in church and Christian-guarded, three bodies with honour and respect up till their burial, and how can we destroy that standard? Although there are few Christians, who are also being treated badly, but I have told them they should migrate to other countries. Iranian people demand regime change so that democracy—a country with a population of 92% Shia—will never bring a non-Shia leadership. But this Supreme Leadership is pressing their people’s voices under vital punishments; they are not protesting against the Shia republic, but only demand a change of leadership of the government of Iran.

Now the world has seen during the present war how much Israeli handlers are available in Iran. Do you think it is for months of crops? Certainly not. It is the yield of many decades, even more than 30 years. In 1948, Israel became independent; since its birth, the Iranian Empire adopted it, nourished it in every aspect of life, from agriculture, technology, army, spy industry, Air Force, and atomic technology (so-called peaceful usage). Iran has arranged its development and training not only from brother Islamic countries, but from all possible Western countries. It was great doing this, not for atomic technology; Iran gave financial aid and guarantees for Israel. Why was Iran doing this? It was doing this only because it can use this power against Arab countries, especially against Saudi Arabia. But a revolution in Iran expelled King Reza out of Iran in 1979, and the new regime, which was powered by a 92% Shia population, consisted of Shia who turned from Israel and started many private groups consisting of Shia, and made them bu ers against Israel. They are fighting against Israel in Gaza, Jordan, and Yemen. From time to time, they are disturbing Arab states. Also, Iran has waged war against Israel; no Christian country like any body will invade Israel because no Muslims will like and tolerate an attack on Khana-e-Kaba and Karbala Sharif, so no Muslim will tolerate an attack on Jerusalem–Israel. Because all the memories of our lives are there, millions of people pay homage to those sacred sites. In 1967, when Egypt was made a high success against Israel, Christian mothers of Europe and America started yelling, “When will Israel get help, when all memories of Jesus in Israel will be buried under waves?” Kindly observe Israeli ingenuity. Christians are deeply held in Jerusalem and all over Israel; thanks to God that all venerated and sacred places are in the custody of Muslims, and some are in the courts of Christian judges. The world cannot imagine these holy places. So Israel, I think, will remain because, in Shia, against Israel’s side, there are religious problems. Iranians, when visiting Israel, pay homage to these holy places and pay them highly. Who should stop these people?

President Trump’s Demands and Regional Context

Now we come to the present war: USA President Donald Trump, after negotiations with his helpers, has demanded:

• No change in the regime of your government.
• You will give capital punishment to the protesters against the regime, because protesters have no right to use it.
• You will not attack our hegemony, because Iran will use that weapon on Arab states, and first of all, Iran handed it to Israel. Iran triggered this as you can see; now they are with your enemy state. Why do you not consider that you are fighting for the sake of the enemy of Israel, and no should-be leader will accept it? The Shia are with the Protestants of Iran, who are their biggest enemies against the attack. Iran and Arab enmity, founded on religious grounds: Iran is Shia and Saudi Arabia is Sunni-led, and both are accepted world-wide.
• Pakistani senior journalist Nisar Hassan used to say that Arabs are the richest kings because America needs this. Americans told them that this boiling mud is erupting from their deserts; it is very precious. These Americans gave Arab machines to pump out this boiling mud, crude oil, made oil fields, and gave them markets. American rock-‘n’-roll singers used to laugh and say that they are puppets. America is selling Arabian oil. If they come to defend Arabs, they are not doing anything wrong.
• America has requested the Pakistan Army to defend Khana-eKaba, and the Pakistan Army is doing that work with love and pride.
• Iran and insurgent groups active around Israel are busy in their work.
• So many international requests by America and Israel that the government of Iran should stop these activities against Israel and the Arab world, and stop killing Iranian Muslim protesters who were demanding a change to the regime. So America and Israel, after many months of warnings…

Operation Epic Fury

President Donald Trump, exercising his power as Commander-in-Chief of the USA, operated an attack on Iran as Operation Epic Fury, with joint operations of Israel, roaring lions, and battles started in this war. Although America and Israelis are seen in front, this re is made by thousands of Iranian Muslims who were demonstrating against Iranian Supreme Leadership and regime. Why is Iran very weak? Because the body of Iran is filled with activists of Israel and workers of the expelled monarch. May God bless peace around Arab countries and Karbala Sharif and in the hearts of citizens. I say: world, believe or not believe, American President Trump is doing his best to bring peace to tortured people, even at the risk of his life.
