Barack Obama today welcomes the Egyptian tyrant Hosni Mubarak and his son and rumoured successor, Gamal Mubarak, to the White House. Obama promised a change in US policy towards the Muslim world, but has continued drone attacks in Pakistan, intensification of the war in Afghanistan and continues to be as supportive of the tyrants and criminal rulers in the Muslim world as any of his predecessors.

"The visit now comes at a critical time... because the American side is coming closer to announcing its vision on how to achieve peace and end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," Egyptian Foreign Minister, Ahmed Abul-Gheit said. Mubarak, as usual, will be central to promoting US plans in the Middle East.

In a recent BBC interview he described Mubarak, the Pharaoh of Egypt, who tortures and represses his opponents saying “he’s been a stalwart ally to the US... he’s been a force for stability and good in the region”. He also praised Mubarak’s “sustained peace with Israel” which included blockading the people of Gaza from getting help and humanitarian relief.

The United States of America is a Capitalist state whose institutions are geared towards maintaining America’s power around the world, even if it means people have to live under occupation and tyranny. So regardless of whether it is Bush, Obama or anyone else, fundamental US interests and policies will never change.

What is required by Muslims all over the world is to continue working, following the Sunnah of the Prophet (saw), to remove the corrupt rulers that the Western leaders court, and re-establish the leadership for the Muslim Ummah, the Khilafah State, once again.

This would be a state that would not create the terror unleashed by the United States, but a state that would end occupation and bring stability and security in the Muslim world. It is a state that would have an economic system to help end poverty and bring tranquillity to the world. It is a state that would uphold the Shariah of Allah (swt), the dignity of His Messenger (saw), and the well being of its citizens.
