Refrain from meddling in their internal politics.
Not exploit their countries for oil but let them sell the oil themselves and respect that their countries won the oil lottery and that we are too dependent on oil.
Let Israel take care of itself and not pump American money into Israel. God will take care of his chosen people according to his plan and does not need "help".

This vanguard of true Muslims was going to undertake the renovation of Islam and of civilization all over the world. The vanguard was going to turn against the false Muslims and ''hypocrites'' and do as Muhammad had done, which was to found a new state, based on the Koran.
