Three times defeat of the Britain, defeat of the Soviet Union, and as for now, the defeat of the US and NATO has made Afghanistan turn into a lethal black-hole for the infidel (Kufr) world who seem to be unable to comprehend any potential threats that might arise from this region against their interests. Therefore, any travel by Thomas West is part of the US’s engagement policy which the US has adopted instead of enforcing a complete isolation and sanctions against the Islamic Emirate.

The US wants an Afghanistan that’s far from the reach of its rivals, China and Russia, but it also worries that Afghanistan would become the epicenter of a great Islamic State that will unite Central Asia and South Asia together. Additionally, the US is way too concerned of the foreign fighters (Mujahideen) that might attack US and NATO targets from the soil of Afghanistan. As a result, the US works tirelessly to strengthen its political, economic, intelligence, and cultural influence within Afghanistan.

To keep the sensitivity out of the eyes of the US citizens and the public opinion, the US prefers to strengthen its influence in Afghanistan through its puppet governments and its allies – as the key stooges of the US who play well in this game are Qatar, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Iran, UAE, Saudi Arabia, as well as its strategic allies, European states, India, Japan, and other countries.

The US wants the Islamic Emirate to gradually submit to international (Kufr) values, laws, and organizations by means of engagement policy – this aim was well described as ‘Pushing the Taliban in the Right Direction’ by Ned Price, State Department’s Spokesperson months before. It encourages the Islamic Emirate to move in the direction of secularism, the secular world order, and liberal values in order to push the Islamic Emirate align with the US interests just like other puppet states of Islamic lands.

Though the US and NATO withdrew their military forces from Afghanistan, they gradually re-entered the country to influence the arenas of politics, economy, intelligence, and culture. The US and NATO’s withdrawal from Afghanistan never meant that the US would leave the country. Due to this, we were openly warning the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate of the US’s wicked intention regarding the ending of its protracted war through Doha Agreement – an accord that was solely aimed at relieving itself from the Taliban fighters in order to earn time to contain the threats posed by China and Russia against the US in the global stage.

The Islamic Emirate must fully realize the evil nature of the US and Western governments’ “Carrot & Stick” approach, and must take decisive steps to stop it. The Islamic Emirate must immediately stop engaging and/or diving in the current world order; and instead, it must concentrate on the Islamic Ummah, the capabilities, geography, geopolitical situation, and resources of Islamic lands in order to bring about a new world order that would pave the way for the establishment of a great Islamic State (Rightly guided Khilafah), In Shah Allah! By that time, the Islamic Khilafah would begin inviting other nations enter on the Muslims’ playground, and it would also remove any obstacle that would avert the people from being guided to the right path by means of its foreign policy (Dawah and Jihad). Besides, the Islamic Ummah would then undertake its primary responsibility which is to lead the entire humans from the darkness of evil capitalism and Kufr to the light of Islam so that scores of people are led to Paradise to be protected from the Hellfire.
