Al-Qaeda magazine: No difference between Biden, Trump on Islam

U.S. policy with regard to the Muslim world is dictated by the “Zionist-Crusader alliance through their agents among Arab leaders,” states “Al-Khalusa.”

According to Al-Qaeda’s Al-Khalusa magazine, as far as America’s relationship with the Muslim world is concerned, a Biden administration will differ from the Trump administration in tone only, not in substance.

An article in the magazine’s Nov. 15 issue claims that the conflict between the United States and Islam is being directed by the “Zionist-Crusader alliance through their agents among Arab leaders and the Shi’ites, who are the donkeys of the Christians,” according to a report shared exclusively with JNS by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

The article goes on to state that U.S. Middle East policy is clear “for those who understand the real nature of the conflict,” and notes that no U.S. president will condemn Israel and side with the Palestinians.

“U.S. discourse and the political narrative cannot change,” it states, going on to note that Trump has “boasted about his Zionism and enmity towards Muslims.”

“Any difference in the formula after any U.S. election,” the article states, can be understood as “propaganda” that only “flirts” with the possibility of change.

The article accused the United States of “seeking to distort Muslim ideology, particularly in schools, by adapting textbooks to suit U.S. policy, thus implementing them softly, smartly using tools within Muslim communities in a way that will not cause resentment or backlash.”

“People shouldn’t think that, ‘Oh this is not going to happen to me,’” the 32-year-old Judaic studies teacher told JNS. “It can happen to anyone walking the streets, anyone with their groceries.”
The state must make changes “to clearly address content that is not permitted, while preserving the ability of candidates to present their qualifications to voters,” its secretary of state told JNS.
Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote that the New Jersey attorney general’s demand for donor information may deter donors from associating with First Choice, a Christian pregnancy resource center.
“It’s very important, not only for Israel, but also for the United States, that people will be more familiar with the real history,” Yigal Dilmoni, of American Friends of Judea and Samaria, told JNS.
“When influential voices spread conspiracy theories, promote terrorism or dehumanize Jewish people, it fuels real-world violence and intimidation,” Rep. Josh Gottheimer said.
The authority “continues to provide a system of compensation in support of terrorism through new mechanisms and under a different name,” the U.S. State Department informed Congress.
