Hadi Calls US Parties Two Faces of Same Dollar

KUALA LUMPUR — PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang has likened the United States’ Republican and Democratic parties to two faces of the same one-dollar bill, arguing that American election outcomes make no difference to Washington’s posture toward Islam.

In a commentary dated Nov 14 addressing the US midterm elections, the Marang MP claimed that regardless of which party wins, both maintain an identical, adverse stance toward Muslims. Without offering evidence, Hadi alleged that both major parties operate under Zionist and Freemason influence, claiming global financial institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund fund election machinery and media to deceive the public.

Advising Muslims living in countries where they do not hold political power, Hadi stated that they are permitted to strategically align with a lesser adversary without endorsing their ideology. Invoking the Islamic principle of choosing the lesser of two harms alongside the concept of taqiyyah (concealing one’s beliefs for self-protection), he argued that siding temporarily with a less dangerous rival is a tactical move to defeat a greater threat, provided core Islamic principles are never compromised.

Hadi further criticized Western democracy as a self-destructive system that “worships the dollar” and elevates negligent leaders. However, noting the election of Muslim candidates to the US Congress, he urged Muslims to utilize democratic freedoms to practice and proclaim their faith peacefully while avoiding extremism.
