THE Hizbut Tahrir (HT) will observe the 87th anniversary of the abolition of Islamic Khilafat by British colonists on August 1.

Addressing a press conference on Thursday, Naveed Butt, the spokesman for HT, said that the day will be observed all over the world to commemorate the blackest day of Muslim history when traitor Mustafa Kamal implemented the colonists designs by eliminating the Khilafat and enforcing democracy in its place, following which the British cut up like cake the huge Muslim state into fifty small pieces.

Naveed quoted the then British foreign secretary Lord Curzon who while addressing the House of Commons on July 24, 1924 said that as "Turkey has been destroyed and she will never regain her past glory because we have shattered her spiritual strength, i.e. Khilafat and Islam".

Butt said the combined strength of fifty spineless Muslim states was far weaker compared to the single Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" state despite that it was known as a weak state among Europe.

He said the difference between a weak Khilafah "Caliphate" state and fifty agent states is evident from the fact that Khalifah responded to a distress call of one woman in Sindh by sending armies to save the captives whereas the fifty deaf and dumb rulers of Muslims states were unable to help millions of bewailing women in Palestine, Kashmir, Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon and Chechnya.

On the Khilafah "Caliphate" day, he said various activities had been planned including rallies, conferences, distribution of pamphlets and handbills to activate the Ummah to get united and re-establish the Khilafat so that exploitation of Muslims by colonists and Imperialists could be stopped.

He said the next goal of colonists after eliminating Khilafat was to keep Muslims divided. For that purpose they created fifty Muslim states which were in fact fifty prisons and appointed jailers such as Karzai and Musharraf on them. Then they began systematic plundering and exploitation of Muslim resources, said Naveed Butt.

From Oil in the Arab world to gas in the Central Asia, and from armies of Pakistan and Bangladesh to gold and jewels of Africa, all resources were channelled to the west for peanuts, Butt said.

He said to keep Muslims divided, western agents gave them hollow slogans of nationalism and useless platforms such as the Arab League etc. The biggest frauds of them was the OIC which have done nothing but rubber stamp every colonist agenda and back the west's tool the UNO, instead of supporting the Muslim people in every crisis.

He reminded that in its last days, Khalifah Abdul Hameed II refused the offer by Zionist movement founder Heartzle seeking settlement of Jews in Palestine against receiving huge money. Despite that Khilafah "Caliphate" state badly needed money to settle some debts at that time, the Khalifah declined the lucrative offer by saying that he had no power to cut the body of Muslim state.

Khalifah said he would never work against Muslims' interests in his life time adding that if God forbid Khilafat was destroyed, Zionists might get Palestine free of cost, said Naveed Butt.

Butt said in his last days, the Khalifah also threatened war against France and Britain in 1906 and forced both the countries to immediately stop staging a play in which blasphemy of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) was committed. He said the response of Muslim rulers to the recent blasphemy by Denmark and other European press should be compared to that.

He said as long as Khilafat was there even in the weakest form the Muslim armies were moved on the call of one woman.

Khalifah Mo'stasim and Governor Hajjaj Bin Yusuf responded the call of one woman, sending Muslim army to invade robbers in Sindh.

But today, millions of Muslim women are wailing but to no avail of over fifty deaf and dumb Muslim rulers. Butt said the aim of Hizbut Tahrir by observing Khilafah "Caliphate" day was to inculcate among the Muslims that the solution to all of their problems laid in establishing Islamic Khilafat which would protect their lives and resources against all the enemies.
