Wa alaykum Salam,
It is true that the Muslims are in a very weak position. And there are many things and angles to these issues that very few people know. So political talk such as this is not very helpful. I have been to places such as Lebanon, to the Palestinian refugee camps and so forth. But, whatever their condition the answer to our problems is always the same.

TAWHEED!! -
Forget bashing leaders or countries or anyone. It all starts with me and you. The correct way of understanding our situation is by learning Islam properly according to the Quran and Sunnah, and Allah will help us by giving us unity and strength. Even if the enemies of the Muslims had all the weapons in the World if Allah willed, they would never be able to harm a single Muslim, and we would be able to defeat them easily.
Now, I have to close this thread because our website is not for discussing these issues. We need to understand how to solve our issues in the light of the Quran and Sunnah. We do as Allah has commanded us to do. right?
Political rallies, rebelling against the Rulers, Signing petitions, Crying, blowing buildings up, causing hatred and mistrust between our Muslims are all things we see day in day out, in Muslim countries and also in the Non-Muslim countries. These things, will never change anything, except perhaps bring about worse conditions.
The only thing that will change us, is how we live and apply Islam to our lives. Allah will improve our conditions. If a Muslim questions this, then they have problems with their Iman and their understanding of Islam.
The Arabs were successful ONLY because of Islam. Simply being Arab is not the quality that made them successful. You know, the Arabs were the laughing stock of that region. The Romans and Persians did not even drop a bead of sweat thinking about the bedouin desert dwellers. The Arabs were busy fighting between themselves.
Islam bought about unity and love between not just the Arabs, but every Muslim no matter where he was from or position they had. Our most wonderful example is none other than our most beautiful and beloved Companions of the Prophet
.
As time went past, the Muslims became weak, they had left implementing Islam properly. Finally, they started allying and fighting each other over land. For example, in Spain. Many of the regions in Muslim Spain fought each other, some even made deals and allied with the Catholics.
The only way for the Muslims to succeed is to go back to basics and put the Quran and Sunnah into their lives. Today, you go to Morocco, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Pakistan, India and many other countries you will find Muslims venerating saints and making dua to the dead. How can they ever succeed when they do Shirk? These same people will then go and complain about this and that, without realising the problem stems from their not practising Islam properly. Even in Palestine there are these problems.
