Praise be to Allah and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and upon his family and companions and those who follow him...

Dear Distinguished guests, may Allah bestow upon you the blessing of His obedience, Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuhu

((وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ))

"Allâh has promised those among you who believe and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the land, as He granted it to those before them." [TMQ an-Noor: 55]
The Prophet (saw) said:

«ثُمَّ تَكُونُ جَبْرِيَّةً، فَتَكُونُ مَاُ شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ، ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةٌ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ»

"Then there will be an oppressive monarchy as long as Allah wills, then he will eliminate it if he so wills. Then a Khilafah "Caliphate" on the way of Prophethood will prevail." (Extracted by Ahmad and Al Tayalsi)

My brothers and sisters, I like to begin with the promise of Allah of Istikhlaf (receiving the power), and the glad tidings of the Messenger (saw) of the return of the Khilafah "Caliphate" after the oppressive rule that we live under... I begin with hope before the pain that befell the Islamic Ummah for more than ninety years, in 28 Rajab 1342 AH corresponding to March 1924 CE when the colonialists Kuffar led by Britain at the time and their agents from the Arabs and Turks, were able to demolish the Khilafah "Caliphate". This decision was issued in the second session held by the Ankara parliament on Monday the third of March 1924, and the meeting lasted from 3:25pm until 6:45pm and ended with the issuance of this fatal decision to the Ummah; the abolition of the Khilafah "Caliphate"... The irony is that the vote for the decision was through a show of hands rather than by a secret ballot! All of this was under an atmosphere charged with fear that makes voting by show of hands, revealing the voters, which is a very dangerous matter! Since that black day and the Islamic Ummah suffers in life and its position among the nations:

After the Muslims were one Ummah, one state, and one Khilafah "Caliphate", the Muslims became torn to over fifty countries or statelets... and after our Constitution was rulings legislated by the Lord of humans, our Constitution is now legislated by humans ... and after Muslims opened lands and spread goodness throughout the world and were the leaders of worlds; Muslim lands became reduced from its edges rather from its core! Jews who were marked with humiliation and wretchedness have occupied Palestine, land of Isra' Wal Mi'raj, not only this, but the rulers of the Muslims recognize the Jewish state and are holding diplomatic relations with them! .. And after the Khaleefah led an army to rescue the oppressed woman who cried, "Wa Mu'tasimah!" He avenged her from those who mistreated her and he opened Amuriyah, which is close to Ankara today, since then Muslim women all over the world are oppressed and their sanctities violated, and none of the rulers in the Muslim countries rescue them. After the countries used to seek support from us, as France did when they asked the Khaleefah Suleiman the Magnificent to help release their captive king, now we resort to the Kaffir colonists to solve our issues ...

Thus, dear brothers and sisters, Muslims are surrounded with calamities and tribulations and engulfed by killings before them and behind them; and they are in a dilemma! This is not because of their small number or the lack of supplies, but because their shield has been removed, the Imam, the Khaleefah is a shield fought from behind and is protected by.

«...َإِنَّمَا الإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ...»

"Verily the Imam is but a shield, is fought from behind, and is protected by."

Bukhari narrated it in his Saheeh, and with the demise of the shield and Protection Muslims became without guardianship and protection, but they are controlled by rulers who do not fear Allah, only interested in their colonialist masters' benefits, oppressing and controlling people.

((وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ))

"And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned" [Ash-Shu'ara: 227]

The Khilafah "Caliphate", my brothers and sisters, is the source of Muslims' glory and their power, and this is known by the leaders of colonialism, and this is why Curzon said in the British House of Commons when the Khilafah "Caliphate" was demolished, "The issue is that Turkey is wiped out and will not have any influence, because we have eliminated its moral force: Khilafah "Caliphate" and Islam." Because they know this, they were not satisfied with the demolition of the Khilafah "Caliphate" only, but exert every effort to prevent its return once again, and so they launched a fierce war against those working for its restoration. Therefore they were furious when they heard about the launch of Hizb ut Tahrir sixty years ago, and that the party took the issue of the return of the Khilafah "Caliphate" as the Ummah's vital issue. Therefore they relentlessly fought against it and their agents too with all the evil methods, their arsenal of calumny, arrests, and torture leading to martyrdom and long prison sentences, but they failed and the Hizb remains standing kneeling only to Allah... And finally they fought it; the colonialist Kuffar took advantage of crimes of some Islamic movements, which declared Khilafah "Caliphate" not according to the Shariah, and carried out un-Islamic actions of slaughter, burning, vandalism, and destruction ...the colonialist Kuffar took advantage of the crimes of these movements, and focused on them, and they ferociously show them on screens, to frighten Muslims that the Khilafah "Caliphate" they want perpetrates such heinous crimes, so that people hate the true Khilafah "Caliphate"...

Nevertheless as they failed with previous methods, they will fail this time too, InshaAllah. People are aware of the legitimate Khilafah "Caliphate", and they can distinguish between it and the alleged Khilafah "Caliphate", the true Khilafah "Caliphate" is not unknown. It is a distinctive system demonstrated by the Messenger of Allah (saw) followed by the guided Khulafaa after him. The Khilafah "Caliphate" is not an empire nor a monarchy, it is not a presidential or parliamentary republic, nor a dictatorship or democracy, not following Allah's legislation, nor any kind of man-made systems, but it is the Khilafah "Caliphate" of Justice, and its rulers are Khulafaa, imams, people fight behind them and are protected by them ... It is a Khilafah "Caliphate" that protects the blood, safeguards the honour and preserves the wealth, and fulfills contracts of protection for Dhimma and takes the bayah willingly and by choice not by oppression and coercion, people migrate safely to it, they do not flee it in panic ...

My dear attending brothers and sisters, O people of sight and insight, O men of understanding, O the ones who feel the pain as a result of the loss of the Khilafah "Caliphate", the shield and protection of Muslims ... Remove yourselves of this great sin, and work to resume the Islamic way of life on earth by re-establishing the guided Khilafah "Caliphate" state, neglecting it is a great sin, except for those who work for it, the Messenger (saw) says:

»ومن مات وليس في عنقه بيعة مات ميتة جاهلية»

"And whosoever dies without having a Bay'ah upon his neck (i.e. without a system of Bay'ah existing), he dies the death of Jahiliyyah."
Narrated by Muslim, that is the allegiance of a Khaleefah who is established legally, so move your men and your women and your people to work diligently and honestly and faithfully, to establish the Khilafah "Caliphate", truly it is a great triumph.

In conclusion, I would like to remind you and assure you: I remind you that this city, Uskudar which your conference is being held was the first success of the conquest of Constantinople, and is where the armies that were sent by the Khaleefah from Asia where launched from to the conquest of Constantinople, they camped here and then they departed from its port to the corresponding port on the European side to invade and besiege Constantinople. This was repeated many times until Allah (swt) blessed Sultan Muhammad Al Fatih with this great success as the Prophet (saw) said:

»لَتُفْتَحَنَّ الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةُ، فَلَنِعْمَ الْأَمِيرُ أَمِيرُهَا، وَلَنِعْمَ الْجَيْشُ ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشُ»

"You will open Constantinople, its Ameer is the best Ameer, and its army is the best army." (Narrated by Ahmad). And I assure you that your brethren in Hizb ut Tahrir are firm on the Haq, working hard to achieve Allah Almighty's promise and the glad tiding of the Messenger (saw) of the return of the Khilafah "Caliphate", they do not fear anybody but Allah, and they follow the path of the Messenger of Allah (saw). And your brothers are nearly reaching the objective with the permission of Allah (swt), they will be, and you, shaded under the Raya Al ‘Uqab, the banner of the Messenger of Allah (saw), and so the Khilafah "Caliphate" will shine on earth, and spread safety and security and justice in the lands of Islam.

((وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ * بِنَصْرِ اللَّهِ يَنْصُرُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ))

"And that day the believers will rejoice * In the victory of Allah. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful" [Ar-Rum: 4-5]

And the final conclusion, I congratulate you for your conference, may you have the Barakah of Allah, and start in the name of Allah... I ask Allah (swt) that this conference will yield good and blessed fruits bringing glory to Islam and Muslims, and humiliate the colonialist Kuffar.

((وَاللَّهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَى أَمْرِهِ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ))

"And Allah is predominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know" [Yusuf: 21]

Wa Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuhu

News and Comment Mamata Banerjee's Trip to Bangladesh was A Mockery of the Peoples' Sufferings

  • Published in News & Comment
  •   |  

News:

The Chief Minister of West Bengal, India, Mamata Banerjee has visited Bangladesh on February 19, 2015 on a three-day courtesy trip at the invitation of the Government of Bangladesh to strengthen bilateral relations between Bangladesh and West Bengal.  At a press briefing the day before, Bangladesh Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed their hope to settle the long pending Teesta River water sharing pact and ratification of the land boundary agreement with India during Mamata's visit.

Comment:

Mamata Banerjee's visit has been portrayed as a crucial one by the Hasina government, intending to trick the Bangladeshi people into thinking that the visit would settle the pending water sharing and land boundary pacts between India and Bangladesh. But the fact of the matter is that historically India has always been a fierce enemy to Bangladesh's national interests and has never cared about these issues. A false hope has deliberately been created for Mamata's visit in much the same way it was created during the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit in 2011. We all know that back then Mamata pulled herself out of Manmohan's entourage at the very last minute in protest of the Teesta water sharing agreement to win over West Bengal's public opinion on her side.

Back in 1975 India first constructed the notorious Farakka Dam on the Ganges River and since then has constructed many dams and kept diverting water supply from the upstream of 50 out of 54 international rivers flowing through India to Bangladesh, causing ruthless sufferings to Bangladeshi farmers. Such cruel one-sided withdrawal of water has brought about havoc to growing crops on thousands of hectares land in northern Bangladesh. And not only the agriculture, but Bangladesh's water-based biodiversity, habitation and fisheries resources are also facing extinction as Teesta and many other riverbed turns into desert-like sandy zone during the lean seasons. Nevertheless, Mamata has always been adamant on her anti-Bangladesh stance and, all of a sudden, there is no apparent reason for her to risk her political career by being sympathetic towards the Bangladeshi Muslims while going against the public opinion of her constituency especially before the coming state election.

Had she really been serious to settle these issues, she would have brought technical experts on water resources along with her 39-member delegation; rather that was mainly a cultural delegation full of dancers, singers and actors of West Bengal. Moreover, there was no separate agenda on Teesta and Land Boundary agreements during her 3-day visit and she rather talked about those deals while attending a cultural program indicative of the level of seriousness both Hasina and Mamata had about settling those issues. The prominent Indian newspaper "The Hindu" stated that Mamata had been invited by Foreign Minister A.H. Mahmood Ali to attend the historic occasion commemorating the Bengali Language Movement of 1952. Moreover, Mamata also kept a group of West Bengal-based businessmen in her delegation team to pave the way for them in Bangladesh more lucratively. Hence, unsurprisingly, Indian delegates got what they had expected while Bangladesh got another round of false promise by India with no explicit timeline to resolve the illusive deals. So this cunning maneuvering by Mamata in cahoots with Sheikh Hasina was nothing but to fulfill their political agenda.

We call upon the Muslims of Bangladesh to work actively with Hizb ut Tahrir to establish the rightly guided Khilafah "Caliphate" that can only protect the resources of this noble Ummah. The political work of Hizb ut Tahrir has gathered momentum and victory of Allah is very near for the believers, insha'Allah and with the promised Khilafah "Caliphate" state Allah (swt) will bring humiliation to the disbelieving and polytheist states and their lackeys.

((يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ تَنْصُرُوا اللَّهَ يَنْصُرْكُمْ وَيُثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَكُمْ))

"Oh you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will support you and plant your feet firmly." [Surah Muhammad: 7]

Spain's Muslim Business Owners Feel Squeezed By New Zoning Proposals

Spain's Mediterranean coast is home to the country's biggest Muslim community. And in one town there, local politicians have proposed new zoning laws that have people pondering what it means to be Spanish, or Muslim, or both. Ruling conservatives in the town of Tarragona want to limit the number of kebab shops and Internet cafes in the town center, keeping them 500 yards apart to "protect traditional Spanish businesses" and prevent what they call ghettos. But just what is a traditional Spanish business? "You tell me! My tomatoes are Spanish, and so are the potatoes I sell," says Nouari Benzawi, an Algerian immigrant who runs a kebab shop and halal grocery store. "Please explain this to me!" he exclaims, stomping around his shop, pointing out Spanish products. "Do I need to sell pork to be a traditional Spanish business? Do I need to sell wine?" He doesn't sell these items, for religious reasons. Benzawi, 52, is a Muslim who has lived in Spain for 20 years. He is married to a Spaniard and holds a Spanish passport. "My business is legal," Benzawi says. "I pay my taxes. I don't sell contraband. So what are they so worried about? This is called discrimination." Authorities have said the new zoning laws, if passed, would not force the closure of existing businesses, but would regulate how and where new ones can open. Benzawi believes the proposal unfairly targets a certain type of business that is often owned or run by immigrants like himself. Spain has a relatively small Muslim population, at about 2 percent of the total. The largest concentration is along the Mediterranean coast, in the region of Catalonia. In some coastal towns, including Tarragona, Muslims comprise about 10 percent of the population. [Source: NPR]

Are we witnessing the beginning of the new Spanish Inquisition? What is next after zoning proposals-eating pork and drinking alcohol? Before Muslims were driven out of Spain several hundred years ago, they were forced to eat pork to prove their loyalty to the Spanish state. All indications are that history is about to repeat itself.

Will America Ever Leave Afghanistan?

Since the war in Afghanistan formally ended at the close of 2014, hardly a week goes by without another report of the Obama administration considering revising its troop withdrawal timeline or that the current mission in Afghanistan is far from its putative non-combat advisory role. Indeed, during a surprise trip to the country, Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter said the administration is considering slowing down its troop withdrawal timetable. Yet, during his State of the Union Address, President Obama noted that Afghan forces "have now taken the lead" and touted America's support for Afghanistan's so-called "first democratic transition." As the combat mission in Afghanistan ended last year, the president lauded the effort, asserting that the international coalition has "helped the Afghan people reclaim their communities, take the lead for their own security, hold historic elections and complete the first democratic transfer of power in their country's history." The administration has continually sought to portray post-2014 U.S. involvement in Afghanistan as an effort to train and advise Afghan forces to take the lead in securing the newly democratic Afghanistan. While the Obama administration publicly touts the success of the Afghan mission and the end of the war, deliberations over the contours of the post-2014 U.S. presence continue. All of this dissembling begs the question: is America's longest war really over. All indication are that this not the case and for what? Remarkably, the United States has spent more on reconstruction in inflation-adjusted dollars during its 13 years in Afghanistan than it did on the Marshall Plan, which helped rebuild Europe after World War II. The United States can expect very little return on its investment in Afghanistan, particularly in the short term. While the administration considers slowing its troop drawdown and hawks on Capitol Hill and in the media call for a conditions-based withdrawal, it is time to look beyond military solutions to Afghanistan's problems, formulate a new strategy for bringing peace to Afghanistan, and bring America's longest war to a true close. [Source: The National Interest]

America's reluctance to leave may stem from a variety of reasons such as the return of the Taliban to powers. However, it just could be, that if America was to pull out completely, the world would quickly realize that America achieved nothing in Afghanistan-only humiliation of epic proportions.

Pakistan to Host Two-Day Forum of Islamic Countries

Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed on Thursday announced that for the first time in Pakistan a two-day "Think Tanks Forum of the Islamic Countries" will be held on March 7-8 in Islamabad, under the joint auspices of the Pakistan-China Institute (PCI), the Turkish Asian Centre for Strategic Studies (TASAM), the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) and Pakistan's Senate Committee on Defence. Senator Mushahid Hussain is Chairman of the organising committee of the think tanks forum, which Pakistan is hosting for the first time. Previously held every two years in Istanbul, Cairo, Baku, Baghdad and Tehran, the subject of this year's forum is "Addressing Multi-Dimensional Security Challenges in the Islamic Countries" and will focus on themes addressing security challenges (such as terrorism, extremism and cyber security); cooperation in defence, politics and economy; dialogue among Muslims to promote unity; as well as promoting a soft power image of Muslim countries as a whole. [Source: Daily Times]

Will the Islamic countries discuss America's role in fomenting sectarianism, extra-judicial killings, covert assassinations, supporting militants to overthrow regimes, promoting disunity across the Muslim world etc.? If not, then it will be another forum to protect American interests at the expense of the Muslim ummah.

Indian State of Maharashtra Bans Beef

India's western state of Maharashtra, home of the country's financial capital Mumbai, has introduced a draconian beef ban, which would allow for up to five years imprisonment for sale or possession of the meat. The comprehensive beef ban, backed by the state's new Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata party administration, is one of the toughest attempts yet to prevent beef-eating in India, where many members of the Hindu majority, especially those of the upper castes, revere cows as sacred. Many Indian states have laws that ban or regulate the slaughter of cows, though not all states that ban cow slaughter also ban the sale of beef products, in effect allowing the meat to be consumed if it is brought in from other states. However, Maharashtra's law not only bans the slaughter of cows and sale of beef, but the possession of the meat, which is now to be formally considered as contraband. It also imposes the toughest punishment - of up to five years in prison - for violations. The law, passed two decades ago by Maharashtra's state legislature, was only given the necessary assent of India's president, Pranab Mukherjee, on Monday. Hindu nationalist groups, vocal advocates of the ban, rejoiced at the new restrictions, with Devendra Fadnavis, Maharashtra's chief minister, tweeting: "Our dream on the ban of cow slaughter becomes a reality now." But critics said the restrictions would prevent members of India's Muslim and Christian minorities - and other groups that have no such taboo around eating beef, including some low-caste Hindus - from accessing an important and affordable source of protein. [Source: Financial Times]

What a strange week for Muslims in India. On the one-hand some Muslims leaders welcome BJP alliance with a Muslim Kashmiri party, while other leaders reject BJP's decision to ban the eating of their Hindu god. Will the Muslims of India finally wake up and take action against their inept leaders that can no longer protect their interests?

Horse-Trading Democracy

The PML-N and PTI have been shuttling between the Pakistani opposition parties, since the arrival of former President Zardari on 26 February. This shuttling is to get their consensus on the proposed 22nd Amendment that would force party members to vote for their party candidates and for the ballot to be done in an open manner rather than the secret ballot that has characterized past senate elections. The PPP and JUI-F have opposed the proposed amendment, whereas the MQM has championed it arguing that it would end horse-trading in the senate elections.

This so called political crisis is further evidence of the corrupt politics in Pakistan and how the political class jostles around to ensure their interests are not harmed. It was not long ago when all the political class agreed to the 21st Amendment that brought into being military courts albeit with the stick of the real ruler of Pakistan, the military but now the same political class is once again in disarray unable to decide on the procedure of the senate elections. One may argue well it's a good proposal by the PML-N to make the elections open, transparent and force party members to vote for their candidates blocking the possibility of horse-trading, with candidates paying huge sums to ensure they are selected into the senate. However a scratch of the surface will reveal how the PML-N and PTI have information that there is a possible revolt in the ranks of both parties with the senate elections giving the prime opportunity to register ones dissent by voting for a candidate from another party, thus weakening one's own party and leveraging the other. To preempt this PML N and PTI have been eager to force through this amendment to ensure party loyalty and the PPP and JUIF have been waiting to capitalize in the elections, with its candidates likely to benefit from the dissent from its competitors.

Even if the amendment is passed, it would not stop horse-trading as what would happen now there would be candidates purchasing the backing of their respective party leaderships and party members instead of those from other political parties, meaning that the corruption would still continue and fester in the political system. The only way to end this horse-trading would be to end the horse which is democracy that since its inception in Europe after the enlightenment period has served the interests of the capitalist class that has been able to dominate political proceedings and open the door for vested interests to penetrate the political system to serve their own interests and to throw crumbs to the people, such as elections, a media, and some financial investment in infrastructure, education and health to create an impression that they somehow care but in reality the amount they bleed from the political system is way excessive compared to the amount they pump back into the people.

This has been the story of Pakistan with capitalists and vested interests hijacking the system and using it to serve their own interests. The PML-N, PPP, PTI, MQM and others have benefited themselves and allowed capitalists to benefit such as the Manshas and Lakhanis that profit at the expense of the people that sink into ever more hardship. So the solution to the corruption is not an amendment to the constitution but for the horse being democracy to be thrown out and for a new political system, the Khilafah "Caliphate" to take its place that puts the people first before capitalists and vested interests, that distributes wealth rather than monopolize, that gives ownership of the natural assets to the people and not to private interests, that breaks monopolies allowing enterprises to breathe, that protects the market from the dumping practices of global capitalists and importantly provides insaaf (justice), where the rich and poor can seek their rights in a fair and efficient judicial process that does not favour the rich or impede the poor.

 

Democracy Will Always Attract the Corrupt, Just As Filth Attracts Flies

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has again accused main political parties of being part of "undemocratic and corrupt designs" to rig the coming Senate elections. In his usual acidic tone, Mr Khan hit out at the ruling PML-N and JUI-F and opposition PPP for what he called returning to their traditional ways of politics which involved buying and selling of votes. "It has become evident that the government was never sincere to end horse-trading by bringing in a constitutional amendment as it is also reflected in Nawaz Sharif's trip to Saudi Arabia at this crucial time," the PTI chief was quoted as saying in a terse press statement issued by the party's media wing on 2 March 2015.

As usual, PTI is missing the point and proving yet again that it has no agenda for real change. No constitutional amendment can ever change Democracy from being a system for the corrupt to get richer. The corrupt swarm around Democracy like flies around filth because in Democracy man is given the right to make law according to his whims and desires.  Democracy always guarantees excessive privileges for the elite in power and gross deprivation for the people. Democracy links authority with sovereignty, so those elected to power, have the right to make law according to their whims and desires. This ensures that the law-makers are able to amass immense wealth for themselves and their associates by manipulating laws in their favor. Wherever Democracy exists, small elites have changed law to ensure their private ownership of the sources of great wealth, whether it is electricity, oil, gas, minerals, large-scale industry and arms manufacture.

As for America, the global standard-bearer for Democracy and the master of Pakistan's regime, the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few under Democracy is glaringly evident. On 9 January 2014, the New York Times reported that, "The median net worth for lawmakers in the House and Senate was $1,008,767 - up 4.4 percent ... according to the analysis, conducted by the nonprofit Center for Responsive Politics, which examines the influence of money on politics in Washington." And on 4 December 2013, the US President lamented, "And the result is an economy that's become profoundly unequal, and families that are more insecure... Since 1979...our productivity is up by more than 90 percent, but the income of the typical family has increased by less than eight percent. Since 1979, our economy has more than doubled in size, but most of that growth has flowed to a fortunate few... The top 10 percent no longer takes in one-third of our income - it now takes half." So if this is the state of Democracy in its homeland and leading advocate, what can Pakistan expect from Democracy, even if it continued for another seven decades, without interruption?

 

Armed Forces Must Be Mobilized to Close Indian and American Embassies

The 180th Corps Commanders' Confe­rence was held at the General Headquarters here on 3 March. Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Raheel Sharif chaired the conference. According to ISPR, the forum dwelt at length on various professional matters. The commanders also undertook a comprehensive review of operational preparedness and the internal and external security situation of the country, including progress of the ongoing Zarb-i-Azb operation.

In 2013, traitors in the military leadership ensured that the Pakistan Army's India centric doctrine was revised and now defines internal threats as the greatest risk to the countries security. India is no longer seen as a threat to our security, and America's so-called war on terror, which is a war on Islam and Muslims, is the primary focus for the Pakistan Army. This revision is made at a time when America desperately seeks to establish a permanent military presence in the region, camouflaged by a limited troop withdrawal. The Green Book declaration is a conclusion of the strategy adopted by the US since 9/11 to re-orientate Pakistan, its role in the area, and the role of the Pakistani armed forces. The US objective has been three fold: 1. To ensure that the Pakistan army is engaged in a perpetual war within its own borders. 2. To change the Indian centric focus within the army, in order to enable the rise of India as a regional power. 3. To use the army as a way of policing the Ummah in its quest for the return of the Khilafah "Caliphate".

The Khaleefah will treat hostile non-Muslim states on a war stance. These are nations who have occupied Muslim Land or other acts of similar aggression. The Khilafah "Caliphate" will focus the resources of the Ummah upon liberating occupied Islamic Lands, such as Kashmir and Palestine. It will also diminish the threat from the hostile states by ending the presence of all their bases, embassies and personnel within Muslim Lands. It will sever all political and military contact with hostile states, who use such contact to order and forbid their agents within the military and political leadership and fish for new ones. As in the past, the Khilafah "Caliphate" will not compromise on this matter, even if it would take decades to achieve, such as the liberation of Masjid Al-Aqsa from the crusaders.


Raheel-Nawaz Regime Seeks to Strengthen the American Occupation of Afghanistan

Pakistan's ambassador to Washington, Jalil Abbas Jilani, told reporters at a Monitor Breakfast Tuesday, on 3 March 2015, that the country has seen heightened militant activity along its border as US troops have drawn down in eastern Afghanistan. Hints from senior Obama administration officials that the United States could put off the planned end-of-2016 military withdrawal from Afghanistan are viewed positively by neighboring Pakistan, the country's ambassador to Washington, Jalil Abbas Jilani, told reporters at a Monitor breakfast Tuesday.  A slowing of the timetable for withdrawing US troops from Afghanistan "would be viewed very positively in Pakistan," given the increased militant activity the country has seen along the border as US troops in eastern Afghanistan have drawn down, Ambassador Jilani said.

The Muslims of Pakistan, including their armed forces, have great respect for noble mujahideen who bloodied the occupying Soviet Russia's nose, such that it never dared to return again to Afghanistan, just as the Muslims of the past forced the complete withdrawal of the British Empire's troops in the past. However, the traitors in the Pakistan's military and political leadership are strengthening the hands of the Western colonialists, just as the back-stabbing Mir Jafar and Mir Sadiq did in the time of the British Raj. Politicallly the Raheel-Nawaz regime is providing justification for Obama to delay the partial withdrawal, ensuring tens of thousands of "Raymond Davis" security contractors as well as thousands of regular troops remain as an occupying force. Militarily, the regime is turning its guns on the mujahideen rather than standing shoulder to shoulder with them against the occupying Western troops.

The Muslims are in dire need of the Khilafah "Caliphate", shield of the Ummah, which will gather the Muslims as an effective force against enemy occupation.


Only the Khilafah "Caliphate" will Unify the Muslim States as One State

The Foreign Office said on 6 March that it supported the Ummah's unity and had no sectarian or racial considerations in relations with countries in the Muslim world. Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam said, "Pakistan always stood for the unity of the Muslim Ummah. We do not look at Muslim Ummah through sectarian, racial or ethnic prism."

The current regimes are feeling the pressure from the Ummah which has adopted Islam and its Khilafah "Caliphate" as its call. So, the regimes are forced to pay lip service from time to time regarding the unity of the Ummah.

However, only the Khilafah "Caliphate" will practically realize the aspirations of the Muslims, ending division on sectarian and ethnic grounds. As Hizb ut Tahrir has adopted in its Introduction to the Constitution, Article 189, Clause 1, "The existing states in the Islamic world are considered to be part of one land and therefore they are not included within the sphere of foreign affairs. Relations with these countries are not considered to be in the realm of foreign policy and it is obligatory to work to unify all these countries into one state."

The Khilafah "Caliphate" is returning soon inshaaAllah and it will work from the moment of its establishment, whether in Pakistan or any other place, to abolish the false borders between Muslims, imposed by the colonialist enemies and maintained by their agents. Then the Ummmah will be as it is mandated in Islam, a single Ummah, with a single state, ruled by a Khaleefah, with a single armed forces, a single currency and a single Bayt ul-Maal.
