News:

On 28^th September, 2014, the Posts and Telecommunications Minister of Bangladesh, Abdul Latif Siddique made derogatory comments against RasulAllah (saw) and the blessed Hajj while addressing an Awami League party program in the USA. The outrageous anti-Islamic 'Hate Speech' by one of the influential Awami League ministers has caused fury among the pious Muslims of Bangladesh. Unsurprisingly, Sheikh Hasina did not take any significant measure to punish the culprit Latif Siddique for his evil act. Rather she ordered her thugs (police) to fire live bullets at the Muslims who were participating in a protest meeting organized by Hizb ut Tahrir on 17^th October, 2014. Police of this Godless regime of Hasina shot a Shab of Hizb ut Tahrir, Nafis Salam, in the back and when he collapsed to the ground they shot him twice in the leg at point blank range.

Comment:

The evil act of Latif Siddique on the one hand and the shooting of Nafis Salam on the other hand is another thoughtful reminder for the Muslims of Bangladesh that Hasina and her kufr government is the enemy of Islam. We cannot expect her to punish those who vilify RasulAllah (saw) as Islam has no place in her scale of values. Allah (swt) says in the Quran: ((النَّبِيُّ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ)) "The Prophet is closer to the believers than their own selves." [TMQ 33:6]. However Hasina has always shown her disregard for the words of Allah (swt) by letting the criminals who attack Rasul (saw) go free and suppress those who defend the honor of Islam. Her animosity and hatred towards Islam was also evident when she ordered the killing of the ulema at "Shapla Chattar" while they were demanding punishment for the atheist bloggers who slandered RasulAllah (saw). On the other hand many of those Islam-hater bloggers are roaming around freely till today on this very soil.

Moreover, Latif Siddique asserted that he will not retract his remarks which according to him he made "as a liberal and modern human being." Under the guise of the false notions of "liberal values" and "freedom of speech" the West and their lackeys keep on slandering Islam and our Prophet (saw). On one hand the lowly Latif Siddique and Hasina aim to hurt Muslims and on the other hand suppress the workers of the Khilafah "Caliphate" who wish to remove this democratic system which gives birth to the likes of Latif Siddique. Aligned with her western masters' outlook, Hasina's objective is also to create a generation of desensitized Muslim who would be indifferent to the attacks against Islam and RasulAllah (saw). If the sincere among them wants to protest, they will quickly be labeled as "terrorist" to be imprisoned.

Oh Muslims! How long will you seek justice from these kufr democratic governments which do not fail to harm Islam? How long will you delay in appointing a rightly guided Khaleefah who can only stop the audacity of the Islam-haters? History is witness that in the past many such cheap acts of defaming Islam had been crushed in their attempts by the powerful leadership of the Khilafah "Caliphate" state. The famous British writer George Bernard Shaw said in 1913 that he was stopped from writing blasphemous article about our beloved Prophet (saw) by Lord Chamberlin due to the fear of severe repercussions from the then Khilafah "Caliphate" state. Before the destruction of the Khilafah "Caliphate", Britain and France wanted to stage a 265 year old play of Voltaire titled "Fanaticism, or Mahomet the Prophet" disparaging the character of the Prophet (saw). But both the countries were forced to cancel the play upon receiving the ultimatum from the Khaleefah Abdul Hamid II who said in no unclear terms: "I will issue an edict to the Muslim Ummah declaring that Britain is attacking and insulting our Prophet. I will declare Jihad..."

Muhammad (saw) said, «لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِهِ وَأَهْلِهِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ» "None of you would be considered a believer until I become more beloved to him than his family, wealth and all the people." [Bukhari, Muslim] Therefore, oh Muslims, if you really love RasulAllah (saw) and wish to stand beside him in front of the fountain of Kawthar, then rush towards re-establishing the Khilafah "Caliphate" that can only protect the honor of Islam. Seeking any other means other than this will end up with frustration and apathy, and many new Latifs will arise from the gutter of Democracy to vilify Islam and honor of Rasul (saw).
