President Donald J. Trump has taken the most foolish action throughout his presidency by giving his full recognition of Jerusalem (Baitulmaqdis) as the capital of Israel last Wednesday night. Such action will not only create chaos in many parts of the world but would also affect all the ongoing efforts and battles against militants and terrorism which we are currently embarking. With such latest foolish and reckless action, militant and terrorist will certainly use this unilateral recognition to create and spark more violence and at the same time could easily spread their barbaric and uncivilised influence worldwide.

President Trump need to be smart when its come to the international politic and diplomatic relation. It is not like running a company which he used to engage before becoming US President. A simple action taken by him in the capacity of a country leader can bring or cause many implications affecting people life. He need to be more cautious and think deeply before taking any drastic action. When its come to Palestinian and Israeli conflict it require higher professionalism on the part of the US President to solve the conflict peacefully and satisfactorily for all sides as it involve many highly complex and sensitive issue concerning race and religion. President Trump cannot take his own unilateral action without having prior consultation and agreement by all relevant parties involved in the conflict. By recognizing Jerusalem as the capital city of Israel, it will not solve any problem instead it would give rise to many inconceivable problems in the future and President Trump will need to bear all the coming consequences.

Muslim all over the world must stay united on this issue and force President Trump to take back the unilateral declaration which he had made. All Muslim nations through the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) must set aside all the small differences and continue pressure America to change their point on such vital issue.
