Do We Have the Right to Be Angry at the US and Trump? The Sword of Divine Justice

The world woke up to a morning that not even Hollywood screenwriters could have scripted. The United States played the card it had kept "on the table" for years; it entered Venezuela, took President Maduro and his wife from their bedroom, and transported them to New York. A head of state was packaged and carried away like a common criminal from the very soil where he claimed sovereignty.

So, what did the world do? Nothing. A few feeble messages of condemnation, diplomatic declarations of "concern"... That was all.

At this precise moment, we must ask that crucial, uncomfortable, yet realistic question: Do world states, politicians, and even we, as individuals, have the right to be angry at the United States and President Donald Trump?

Let me give the answer in advance: I believe we do not.

Why? Let us put aside jingoism and look at the cold face of truth, the bloody pages of recent history, and the unwavering scales of "Divine Justice."

The Tragic End of Dictators and the Silence of the People

They say history consists of repetition; if lessons were learned, would it repeat? When the US entered the Middle East, it toppled Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Saddam was a leader who rained death upon his own people, gassing Kurds in Halabja. What was the result? He was executed at the hands of his own people, by his own executioners.

Look at Libya. Gaddafi, the "Leader of the Tents," ruled his country with an iron fist for years. He was lynched by his own people, dying a gruesome death in the middle of the street. The US intervention was merely a trigger; the real rage had accumulated within.

Bashar al-Assad in Syria... He carried the flag of cruelty he inherited from his father, Hafez al-Assad, even further. He bombed his own cities and turned his people into refugees. The result? He lost his seat of power, his country turned into ruins, and he became a pariah taking shelter under Russia's wings.

And Egypt... The most rooted state in the region. Elected Mohamed Morsi was ousted by a US-backed coup led by Sisi. Could the Egyptian people protect their will? No. The law of power defeated the power of law, and the order continued.

And now Venezuela... Maduro has been taken down. Did the people pour into the streets to save their leader from the hands of US soldiers? No. Because the people were being tested with hunger, poverty, and oppression.

Who is Next? Iran and the Approaching Storm

It is no secret which link in this chain comes next. Iran. For a long time, Iran's top commanders, nuclear scientists, and even state administrators have been eliminated one by one through assassinations. Whispers that the Shah Reza Pahlavi dynasty is preparing to return are now being spoken out loud.

As a person of conscience, I ask: Should we grieve for a regime that hangs people wildly from cranes in its own squares, denies women the right to life, and suffocates its people? Should we shed tears because a state that treats its own citizens like "animals" is being dismantled by someone else?

If the Iranian state had approached its own people with justice and compassion, would those people not have built a wall of flesh against an intervention coming from outside today? If Saddam hadn't poisoned his own people, would he have met such a fate?

Divine Justice and the Role of the US

Look at the geography of the Middle East. God has granted these lands oil, natural gas, and wealth. But the rulers of these countries have repaid this blessing to their people in the form of "oppression, blood, and tears."

This is exactly where "Divine Justice" comes into play. God punishes leaders who do not pity their people, and administrations that break the scales of justice, sometimes through the hand of another tyrant, and sometimes through the hands of the US and Trump.

Yes, the methods applied by the US may be contrary to 21st-century legal norms and human rights. This may be imperialism. But let us not forget the theological maxim: "The oppressor is the sword of Allah." God first uses that sword to punish those who deserve it, and then turns to punish the sword (the oppressor) itself.

If the US enters a country waving its arms, and that country's army, police, and people hand over their leaders without any resistance, this is proof that those leaders had long lost their legitimacy in the hearts of their people. This is a document of warning for everyone.

Warning Bells Ring for the US and Trump Too

Let it not be thought that this "Divine Sword" applies only to Eastern dictators. Divine justice does not miss. The world's superpower, the US, is today being shaken by unprecedented storms, hurricanes, and natural disasters. The sky strikes the US with a fury that even the most powerful technologies are helpless against. This is a warning to the US as well. It is a warning saying, "Do not rely on your power, do not veer into cruelty."

Let's come to Trump... He announced that he "wants to go to heaven." To many of us, this may seem ironic, even comical. But only God knows the unseen and the hearts. It is narrated in the Hadiths; a sinful woman was forgiven and went to heaven because she descended into a well with her shoe to give water to a dog dying of thirst. Who knows? Perhaps Trump will take a step that will be conducive to world peace or save humanity from a scourge, gaining the Creator's pleasure. We cannot know this; the judgment belongs to God.

Bediüzzaman’s Discovery and the Danger of Fragmentation

The following magnificent determination of the great scholar Bediüzzaman Said Nursi describes these days beautifully: “The Ottoman government is pregnant with Europe; it will give birth to a European-like government. Europe is pregnant with Islam; it will give birth to an Islamic state.”

Historical cycles are at work. While the West becomes pregnant with the justice of Islam through its own internal crises, the Islamic world is trying to overcome its own corruption through Western-type secular or democratic births.

However, there is a great danger in our region. Today, structures like the SDF/YPG fuel separatism. Those who rebelled against the Ottomans and separated now want to divide further, to break into smaller pieces. This trend is dragging our geography into a process similar to Gaza—constantly bleeding, constantly oppressed. We grieve for the pain experienced today in Palestine by the grandchildren of those who stabbed the Ottomans in the back, our hearts burn; but we cannot ignore the manifestation of divine fate and justice.

Final Call: Wake Up or We Will Perish!

Scriptures warn clearly. The people of Ad, the people of Thamud, the people of Noah... They were all destroyed by a "scream," a flood, a disaster. Why? Because of cruelty, transgression, and injustice.

Just yesterday, all of humanity faced the reality of a pandemic. An invisible microbe rendered kings and slaves, superpowers and the weak alike, helpless. Millions died. This was a divine "stop" warning to modern man.

But it seems no one intends to come to their senses. From here, I call out to all world leaders, power holders, and humanity:

Heed the divine warnings. Avoid extremism, cruelty, and arrogance. Man's cruelty to man, man's cruelty to animals, and man's cruelty to nature must end.

Justice is not just a sign in courtrooms; it is the reason the universe stands. If we do not fix this scale, we will prepare our own apocalypse with our own hands. The extinction scenarios we watch in movies could one day become reality itself.

Let us face our mistakes and distance ourselves from evil. Otherwise, neither the power of the US, nor the money of oil, nor the walls of palaces will be able to protect us from the approaching end.
