"The success of Egyptian and Tunisian people will be materialized when the Americans cannot take the leadership of the popular stream and when the world arrogance and the Zionists cannot attain their goals," Abbas Rajayee said on Sunday.
Expressing concern about the US attempts to divert the Islamic uprisings of the Tunisian and Egyptian people, Rajayee cautioned that political figures like Amr Moussa and Mohamed ElBaradei who have announced readiness to take the leadership of the Egyptian people are just two hirelings of the US in the country.
He also warned that the western countries have hatched plots to sow seeds of discord among Muslim nations in a bid to divide their countries like what was seen in Sudan recently, and called on the Islamic nations to keep vigilant against such conspiracies.
The United States and certain other western countries have adopted a double-standard approach towards the Egyptians' popular protests against the dictatorship of President Hosni Mubarak. People in the Middle-East now believe that the western approach to the Egyptian and Tunisian revolutions has unveiled the true nature of their stance on democracy.
When asked if Mubarak was a dictator, United States Vice-President Joseph Biden said, "Mubarak has been an ally of ours in a number of things."
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also called on Hosni Mubarak's regime and Egyptian protesters to "show restraint."
Western analysts underline that such statements leave negative effects on the Muslim nations of the region because it creates the impression that the United States has double standards when it comes to human rights and democracy.
Political observers believe that the recent uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen and Jordan are a result of America's double standards in the Middle-East and its biased policies against different nations.
The United States and Europe supported the dictatorship of Zine El Abidin Ben Ali, the ousted Tunisian President, and showed indifference to the Tunisian people's cries of protest.
In Egypt, the United States and the West also supported Mubarak in repressing Islamic groups and intellectuals and torturing freedom-seeking Egyptian youth.
Under the pretext of human rights, the United States criticizes establishments that respect human and civil rights but stand against its authoritarian policies.
