The UAE is a strategic enemy of Islam in the global information war

By 5Pillars (RMS)

Fero Imen argues that the UAE has exposed itself through its media campaigns portraying Muslims as enemies and criminalising legitimate resistance, and must now be considered a strategic adversary of Islam and Muslims.

There is a saying: “When a clown moves into a palace, he does not become a king – the palace becomes a circus.”

Few lines capture the reality of the UAE’s political project more accurately than this.

These oil-funded, power-hungry desert autocrats – who could not survive a single day without Western patronage – still behave as if the Muslim world were frozen in the stunned, disoriented years after 9/11.

They believe fear still governs us. They believe disinformation still blinds us. They believe their money can still purchase silence, compliance and forgetfulness.

But that illusion has been shattered. And we can sense their fear in every action.

UAE PR campaign to weaken Islam

The United Arab Emirates presents itself as a beacon of modernity, liberalism, and stability. Towering skyscrapers, high-end PR campaigns, and glossy international image projects convey progress and peace.

Yet beneath the surface lies a carefully orchestrated, global information war. Ugly and calculated. This is not marketing. This is a manipulative strategy to weaken Islam, delegitimise Muslim identity, and control narratives about the Muslim world.

In this arena, the UAE operates not merely as a regional power, but as an overt globally acting enemy of Islam.

The UAE’s approach is meticulous. Social media networks, PR firms, platforms like X, and strategically positioned influencers amplify narratives that portray Islamic identity, pro-Palestinian solidarity, and legitimate criticism of Israel or Western policy as “extremism,” “terrorism” or “Muslim Brotherhood.”

Meanwhile, the UAE’s own interventions – support for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan, close alliances with Israel, or collaboration with Western powers – are presented as moral imperatives or peacekeeping initiatives.

Western-Zionist and Emirati fools such as Tommy Robinson, Mariam Almazrouie, Rauda Altenaiji and Nas Daily unite in this dirty play of deliberately embedded circus, magnifying anti-Muslim narratives on a global scale.

Reframing genocide

Sudan and Gaza lay bare the UAE’s true agenda. Official claims of neutrality conceal the UAE’s support for violent actors, while Islamic solidarity and pro-Palestinian voices are systematically reframed as radical threats.

As Middle East expert Dr. Andreas Krieg notes, these tactics are neither accidental nor ad hoc – they are part of a long-term, globally orchestrated campaign to suppress Muslim movements.

The origins of this strategy stretch back to the early 2000s. Under the Pentagon’s “War on Terror” framework, comprehensive plans were developed to influence Muslim thought, political structures, and cultural systems in Muslim-majority countries.

Think tanks such as RAND produced detailed studies on how media, education, and digital communications could be leveraged to systematically delegitimise Islam, Muslim identity, and resistance movements.

These programs combined military, ideological, and cultural instruments to generate long-term control. A strategy that has already been successfully implemented in Saudi Arabia and North Africa.

Far right and anti-Muslim narratives

The UAE has perfected these strategies: alliances with Israel, Western governments and far-right movements, combined with sophisticated media operations, create the illusion of a powerfull UAE and a weakened Muslim narrative, discredit legitimate criticism, and control global perception.

One thing is unmistakable: the UAE is a strategic adversary of Islam and Muslims. Every alliance, media campaign, and digital operation serves the same purpose: portraying Muslims as enemies, marginalising Islamic identity, and criminalising legitimate resistance.

“Look at us – progressive, modern – the good Muslims – letting our daughters perform hair-flipping rituals before world leaders at welcoming ceremonies” – straight out of an old Japanese horror movie.

Every tweet, every media campaign, every influencer post is calibrated to shift perception, delegitimise Muslim voices, and normalise a narrative in which Muslims are inherently threatening. Their alliciance with their Zionist masters and paid far-right American/British collared dogs reveal that this is a global, ideologically driven campaign.

This is not propaganda by accident – it is a weaponised, strategic, and global assault on Muslim identity, combining the lessons of Pentagon-era strategy with contemporary digital manipulation.

We now hold the pen

What they fail to understand – their biggest fear – is that Muslims today are not passive, confused or politically unconscious. We are alert. We are informed. We are organised. And above all, we are watching – carefully, patiently, relentlessly.

We now know exactly who stands with us, and who has sold themselves to power, proximity and Western approval. We know who chose Palestine, and who chose palaces. Who chose truth, and who chose relevance. Who chose the Ummah and who chose dunya and influence.

The era in which others wrote our story is ending. We now hold the pen.

Narratives are no longer monopolised by collared Gulf monarchs, Western think tanks, or Zionist-aligned media ecosystems influenced by AIPAC and sell-out politicians. The same people once dismissed as voiceless are now documenting, archiving, naming and exposing. The record is being written in real time – and it is unforgiving.

Even those who once mistook money for legitimacy now understand this much: history has a long memory. Betrayal leaves a trace. Complicity is recorded. And political choices, once made, do not disappear simply because they were expensive or well-branded.

The UAE may control platforms, algorithms, and influence networks for now – but it no longer controls judgment.

And judgment, unlike propaganda, cannot be bought.
