It is a holy crusade for the Americans. They believe that God supports them in it to eliminate the “infidels,” paving the way for Judgment Day, which must be preceded by the Battle of Armageddon. This is how military commanders addressed their soldiers in military barracks where they had gathered, reciting verses from what they call the Bible. These events were repeated in more than fifty military barracks in America, where they indicated that this war is “all part of God’s divine plan” and a fulfillment of the prophecies of the Book of Revelation, and that “President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.” The American Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) documented dozens of testimonies from soldiers and officers complaining about extremist religious rhetoric in their units.

This trend is not isolated, nor is it confined to a narrow group or obscure individuals. Instead, it is taking shape on a wide scale and across multiple segments of American society. A lawsuit was filed against the U.S. Department of Labor, where Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer hosts monthly prayer gatherings inspired by Hegseth. Similarly, U.S. politician and Congressman Lindsey Graham posted on X on 28 February 2026, as the attack on Iran began, “I just listened to President Trump’s 8 minute speech again, describing what is taking place and urging the Iranian people to seize the moment. His speech will go down in history as the catalyst for the most historic change in the Middle East in a thousand years,” referring to the return of the Messiah after the Resurrection.

In an interview with conservative American journalist, Tucker Carlson, broadcast on Friday, February 20, U.S. Ambassador to the Jewish entity Mike Huckabee asserted that Jews have a biblical right to the land stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates, adding, in response to a question about the original deed in the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament, “it would be fine if they took it all.”

The influence of the popular “Left Behind” novel series, which has sold over 65 million copies, is also invoked in shaping the American evangelical imagination regarding the Jewish entity, war, and the end of the world.

A Pew Research Center poll conducted in November 2022 showed that 39% of American adults believe humanity is living in the end times, a figure that rises to 63% among white evangelical Protestants (Al Jazeera, March 4, 2026). Republican Congressman Andy Ogles posted on 9 March 2026, “Muslims don't belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie.”

Netanyahu also made a statement on Saturday evening, 14 March 2026, saying at a press conference, “I think we all realize that we will eventually reach the Kingdom of Heaven, and we will reach the stage of preparing for the return of Christ, and we can secure our future thanks to this immense power, both spiritual and physical,” indicating that the current confrontation is “a resurrection war that will redraw the map of the Middle East.”

The one leading this campaign against Islam is not a journalist, a strategic thinker, or an obscure politician, but instead the US Secretary of War, whose body is covered in tattoos bearing Crusader symbols, and who has written and spoken hatred for Islam and Muslims. We will take some excerpts from his writings and statements that illustrate this animosity.

In his book “American Crusade: Our Fight to Stay Free,” Hegseth stated, “The “Islam = Peace” narrative is a naive and cowardly worldview.” He added, “Islamism is the most dangerous threat to freedom in the world. It cannot be negotiated with, coexisted with, or understood; it must be exposed, marginalized, and crushed. Just like the Christian crusaders who pushed back the Muslim hordes in the twelfth century, American Crusaders will need to muster the same courage against Islamists today.” In another passage from the same book, Hegseth expresses a hardline stance toward Islam, saying, “The longer Americans live with the delusion that Islam is a religion of peace—especially as the demographics of Europe and the United States continue to change—the more difficult our task. Islam has been at war with its enemies—meaning all “infidels”—since it was founded, and it will never stop.”

In a statement on 2 March 2026, Hegseth said, “Crazy regimes like Iran hell bent on prophetic Islamist delusions cannot have nuclear weapons.” In a press briefing with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Air Force Gen. Dan Caine on 19 March, 2026, Hegseth declared, “Name the Islamist enemy, whether they are Sunni or Shia,”... and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

President Trump himself is not immune to this trend. He appointed a Secretary of War with widely known and extreme hostility toward Islam. On 9 March, 2016, on CNN, Trump said, “I think Islam hates us. There’s something there that — there’s a tremendous hatred there. There’s a tremendous hatred. We have to get to the bottom of it. There’s an unbelievable hatred of us.”

The Battle of Armageddon, or the Resurrection War, is—in their belief—a war that will be waged against the Jews, in which the “infidels”—meaning us, of course—will be killed, Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa will be destroyed, and the Temple will be built on its ruins, paving the way for the return of the Messiah to rule the world with absolute justice for a thousand years. Despite voices within and outside America opposing this approach, and some even opposing the war itself as a violation of international law, nothing has changed. The war continues to rage, and the existential threat persists.

Yes, this war has political objectives, both international and regional. It was intended to dismantle Iran's power and bring it completely under American influence, thus strengthening the US's dominance in the Middle East and enabling it to control the region's oil, which would facilitate its plan to control the world. It also aims to empower the Jewish entity to dominate the region as America’s policeman. This, in itself, constitutes a colonialist threat that must be confronted. However, what is unprecedented is the raising of the banner of theology as one of the war's defining characteristics, which some analyses have described as a crusade.

This blatant hostility towards Islam, which has characterized this war, has heightened the sense among Muslims that their faith is under attack, necessitating a united front in its defense. Hiding behind these rulers will not repel an aggressor, nor will it absolve one of responsibility.

Therefore, it is a Shariah obligation upon the military commanders, especially those in and around the region, as the first line of defense for this Ummah and its ‘Aqeedah, to take the initiative and replace these systems with a system that would unify the Ummah, consolidate its efforts, and harness all its capabilities to defend its ‘Aqeedah and sanctities, thereby nullifying the doctrine of Armageddon. Allah (swt) said,

[لِمِثْلِ هَذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ الْعَامِلُونَ]“For the like of this, let those who do good deeds, do good deeds” [TMQ Surah As-Saafaat: 61].
