KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 — PAS President Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang has described the US Republicans and Democrats as two faces of the same dollar bill, while telling Muslims who are not yet in power that they may take sides without endorsing those they side with.

In a commentary dated today on the United States’ midterm elections, the Marang MP argued that the outcome of any American vote makes no difference to how Washington treats Islam.

“Although there are two big parties… the truth is that both are bound to the face of a one-dollar bill that carries two different pictures, yet its value remains the same one dollar,” Hadi wrote.

“Whichever party wins the election, their attitude towards Islam remains the same,” he said.

He claimed that both parties sit under the umbrella of “Zionist Jews” whose single struggle is to conquer the world under a Greater Israel as the sole superpower, without offering evidence.

Hadi also alleged that Freemasons and Zionists control the economy and media, and that the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and financial institutions fund election machinery and media “free to lie and deceive”.

On how Muslims should respond, he said they are told not to give their allegiance to major powers and enemies of Islam, except where they are not yet in power.

“In such circumstances, Muslims are permitted to practise taqiyyah without giving their approval,” he said, referring to the concealment of one’s beliefs to protect oneself.

Citing Surah al-Rum and the Islamic principle of bearing the lesser of two harms, Hadi said siding temporarily with the less dangerous enemy is “not running away, but choosing to defeat the bigger enemy first, even though both are enemies of Islam”.
