America's Permanent Presence Must Be Met with Jihad by Armed Forces

President Barack Obama's new Pentagon Chief said on 21 February the United States was seriously considering slowing the pace of troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, as the country faces a growing Taliban insurgency. US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter's comments in Kabul offered the clearest sign yet that Washington was ready to delay the closure of some bases and retain more troops after appeals by Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and advice from commanders. "That could mean taking another look at the timing and sequencing of base closures to ensure we have the right array of coalition capabilities," he said at a joint news conference with Mr Ghani.

Such a report is no surprise as it is clear already that America aims to maintain a permanent presence in the highly strategic Afghanistan, using a limited withdrawal as cover. The Muslims of the region fully know the danger of such a foreign hostile presence as they have expelled the British Empire and the Soviet Union previously. Moreover, their motivation for the complete removal of such Kuffar forces comes from Islam which mandates Jihad against the enemy. Yet, the current regime's in Afghanistan and Pakistan have sold their Aakhira in return for cheap prizes from the Americans. They work day and night to secure the American presence through political, military and economic means.
Only the Khilafah "Caliphate" will end the American presence in the region for it alone will gather the Muslim armed forces' as well as the tribal Muslims from both sides of the Durand Line as one unified formidable force.

Deals with America's Puppet Will Never Secure Peace in the Region

On 24 February, Afghanistan's Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah told reporters in Kabul that peace talks with the Taliban would begin in the "near future". The Americans pressed upon Pakistan to play its role. "In terms of the role of Pakistan, we have long encouraged Pakistan to support (Afghan) President (Ashraf) Ghani's reconciliation efforts," said the State Department's spokesperson Jen Psaki when asked to define Islamabad's role in these talks. "We, of course, remain in support and in contact with President Ghani on these matters as well as certainly countries like Pakistan who have a stake in the outcome," she said.

The puppets of America in Pakistan are having a hard time selling a peace deal to end the war of liberation against America. The Muslims, including those in the armed forces, are aware of the difference between those miscreants who attack schools and army officers and the noble mujahideen who are fighting the crusaders. The Muslims have respect for their purpose and despise America intensely. The aspiration to liberate Muslims Lands is part of the Ummah of Islam. In this region, the Muslims have been cultured about Jihad since the time of the Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashida and they have always been defiant against enemies, regardless of their number or strength. The deal that America desires is to ensure that its puppet in Kabul can continue to allow an American presence well after the withdrawal.
The need of the time is the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" which will bring permanent peace within Afghanistan, by unifying the Muslim Lands as one powerful state that will protect the Muslims from America's mischief.

Jihad Against American Occupation is an Obligation, Not Terrorism

Speaking at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London on 25 February, the Interior Minister, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, said it was a positive aspect of the recent Washington summit that President Barack Obama made a brave speech categorically stating "we must not connect Islam and terrorism". Chaudhry Nisar said, "We need to close ranks behind the message of President Obama to strengthen international unity against terrorism." Then he pointed out, "There were no incidents of terrorism and suicide bombings before 9/11, except occasional cases related to sectarianism, but 9/11 brought a sea change."

The regime's Interior Minister is following his mentor and master Obama as always. Obama's speech which the regime has praised, was full of deception. America wishes that the Muslims abandon Jihad against American occupation, which America considers terrorism. In order, to convince Muslims to abandon Jihad, America tarnishes Jihad by including it with cowardly attacks on civilians and military personnel, sectarian and otherwise. However, Jihad is a Duty whereas killing Muslims is a grave sin. Moreover, America itself is responsible for the killing of Muslims, directly during its invasion and covertly through the black operations of its Raymond Davis network that has infiltrated the naive amongst the Muslims. The Interior Minister himself pointed out that terrorism has surged since 9/11 and the reason is that Musharraf opened the doors to the American FBI, CIA and private military at that time. Doors that subsequent regimes have kept open.

The Muslims do not need Obama, the head of the crusaders, to either explain their religion or help them adhere to it! Only the Khilafah "Caliphate" will ensure that whatever Islam has mandated is implemented and whatever it has forbidden will be abstained from. It will mobilize the armed forces in Jihad against occupations. It will eradicate foreign hostile assets from our lands to secure the Muslims.

Regime Deprives the Public and the State of Its Critical Revenue, Through Privatization

Addressing the inaugural ceremony of Expo Pakistan, the country's biggest trade fair showcasing the largest collection of export merchandise and services, in Karachi on 26 February, the Prime Minister said Karachi would be turned into a cradle of peace by 2018. He added, "Pakistan is a land of business opportunities. We offer foreign buyers a very competitive sourcing option. The captains of our industry have carved out their niche in the world market due to their production efficiencies and business ethics."

As the local industry and agriculture founders and collapses, the regime is rushing ahead with foreign ownership of Pakistan's energy and large-scale industry. So, not only is the public and the state deprived of essential forms of revenue, the profits of the foreign owners will leave the country. Thus, whilst patting itself on the back, the regime is pushing the people into the fires of poverty and hardship, whilst preventing the rise of Pakistan as an economic power.

The Khilafah "Caliphate" will ensure that the Shariah rules are implemented regarding the economy. So public property such as electricity and gas will be used for securing the benefit of the citizens, regardless of language, school of thought or religion. And the state will dominate in ownership of engine and heavy machinery manufacture, as well as construction and telecommunications, on the way to becoming a strong industrial state.
