    Indeed, I expect shootings and murders and social upheaval to increase as this nation continues to fail to recognize and obey its divine messenger. Those who would worship their political leaders and expect salvation by electing some party or another shall all be sorely disappointed. There is no remedy short of revitalization of human hearts - a process that requires a creative word from God.

    Feel free to disagree with my assessment, but I am utterly certain that political spin will not redeem this nation. Don't let me stop you, though.

    Your greed for more has distracted you
    until you go down to your graves.
    No, indeed you will soon know.
    Certainly you will soon know.
    Indeed, If you knew the knowledge of certainty
    you would see Hell,
    then you would surely see it with the eye of certainty.
    And on that Day you will be asked about the pleasures you enjoyed.

    Qur'an 102 (Safi Kaskas translation)

    Of course, this is merely an apropos scripture, not an endorsement of the institution. Modern day Islam is as astray as modern day Christianity.
