"Manifest destiny" isn't just the historical term for westward expansion. It's the term that the politicians of the time used to justify taking over the Native American and Spanish lands. They believed (or publicly stated, anyway) that it was God's will for the United States to expand from Atlantic to Pacific.
I like the point ejb3939 made about the symbol of Islam. I'll try to decipher the metaphor. The sun is the United States. The sun is the most powerful object in our solar system, and the United States is the most powerful nation right now. The sun (aka the US) abuses its power and bullies the moon and stars (Middle East countries), who are now rebelling. I could be wrong, but hey, I tried.
The last part is obviously about bombs dropping, buildings falling, etc.
