News:
In the aftermath of the brutal attack on the Public Army School in Peshawar, the government under the supervision of the army announced a national plan of action to fight terrorism. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif addressed the nation through national TV and warned the terrorists saying "your days are numbered..." He also announced a 20-point plan to combat terrorism, which includes the establishment of a Rapid Reaction Force, special courts run by military officers to try terrorists, and greater regulation of madrassas. However, for the umpteenth time the government failed to acknowledge the root cause of terrorism plaguing Pakistan.
Comment:
Unless Pakistan boldly addresses the primary cause behind the terror attacks, the situation in the country will deteriorate further. Terror attacks were unheard of until America returned to Afghanistan in October 2001. Since then, Pakistan has been plunged into a cycle of violence perpetrated against civilians on a magnitude and scale not witnessed before.
The obvious cause behind the terror attacks is well known by all parties in Pakistan, but rarely is it singled out, ridiculed and eliminated. America's state terrorism masqueraded within the confines of international law and supported by Pakistan's military brass is the chief cause behind terror that continues to engulf the streets of Pakistan. America's principal terror inflicting tools on the Pakistani population are: robotic death drones that indiscriminately kill civilians, numerous US incursions into Pakistan such as the Abbottabad raid and Raymond Davis like operatives free to roam streets of Pakistan to plan the next terror attack. None of these items appear on Nawaz Sharif's list and yet all of these terror inflicting methods are well known and documented.
The other pillar behind America's state sponsored terrorism against the Pakistani people is the unstinting support provided by Pakistan's military rulers. This includes: sharing intelligence with American army personnel, furnishing air bases for American drones, providing safe houses for American operatives in Pakistani cities, and ensuring that the American hegemony over Pakistan continues. The cooperation that began during the Musharraf era, mushroomed under Kayani and is now spearheaded by General Sharif shows no sign of abating.
It has not escaped attention of the Pakistani public how some of the high profile terror attacks and incursion by US forces have occurred in military areas, which are supposedly well guarded and protected. So if the military cannot protect its own kind, how does one expect the military to protect Pakistan and its people from Pakistan's archenemies? Furthermore, no senior army officer is held accountable or punished for the lapse of security, which only serves to raise suspicion that the army brass is in cohorts with America.
If the Pakistani civil and military leadership are sincere about stopping the terror attacks then they must resolutely address the primary cause. All that is required is the implementation of the following 2-point plan:
1. Sever all links with America. This includes the closure of the American embassy, cessation of intelligence sharing and the confiscation of all air bases provided to the Americans. This must be accompanied by the expulsion of all American civil and military personnel from the country.
2. The Pakistani military top brass should publicly repent, and renounce its subjugation to America. This act of remorse should be augmented by the cessation of military activities against the tribes living in both sides of the Pakistani border, and opening up the ranks of the Pakistani army to sincere militants who yearn to fight for the honour and dignity of Islam. This new pact should be employed to safeguard Pakistan's frontiers from the armies of crusaders and their allies.
Nevertheless, the forgoing points are only a temporary measure to stop terror attacks. A permanent solution necessitates the establishment of the rightly guarded Khilafah "Caliphate". Only the Khilafah "Caliphate" can unite the Pakistani army Afghans, Pakistani militants and the Pakistani public under the banner of Islam. Allah says:
واعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنْتُمْ أَعْدَاءً فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُمْ بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَانًا وَكُنْتُمْ عَلَى شَفَا حُفْرَةٍ مِنَ النَّارِ فَأَنْقَذَكُمْ مِنْهَا كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ آيَاتِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
"And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided." [TMQ: Al-Imran:103]
Once united under a Khilafah "Caliphate", the crusaders and the enemies of Islam will think twice before lifting their hands to strike Muslims! The Messenger of Allah (saw) said,
«وَإِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ فَإِنْ أَمَرَ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَعَدَلَ فَإِنَّ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ أَجْرًا وَإِنْ قَالَ بِغَيْرِهِ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُ»

At his address to the ceremony held on January 1st 2015, for the transfer of security responsibilities from the International Crusading forces to Afghan Security Forces, the Afghan President, Ashraf Ghani, said, "There's no good or bad terrorism. It is for international community particular the countries in our region to go towards stability and prosperity or drown". This is at a time that the tyrant rulers of Pakistan, Iran and other regional states and their western masters, repeatedly state the same message of hatred and hypocrisy.
Comment:
It is obvious that there is no historical evidence indicating to the existance of the terrorism and terrorist attacks in the Muslim World prior to the invasion and colonialization of the lands. The terrorist attacks has always started and later increased after parts of our lands are invaded by the invading forces. The realities of Afghanistan, Palestine and Kashmir are the better examples of this harsh reality.
Under the guise of "War Against Terror" the United States since 2001 have attacked the Muslim Ummah on a very massive scale and this crusading war still continues in full strength and on a much larger geographical stage.
Any non-biased research over the outcome of the western, especially the United States' attacks on Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya, Mali, Yemen etc. will illustrate the true picture of the terrorism. The United States and its NATO members, through their intelligence agencies, security contracting companies and mercenary contract killing forces, are launching such terrorist attacks that openly targets the public, including children, men and women of the Muslim Ummah. In addition, they also murder our brothers in belief through the use of drones, B52, F16, cruise missiles and other types of airstrikes.
In addition, the colonialists have installed their puppet and tyrant rulers such as Ashraf Ghani, Bashar ul Asad, Nawaz Sharif etc. and their secular ruling systems in our lands. Therefore, to protect the interests of their masters, the behavior of these rulers towards the Ummah is maintained upon, either accept the puppet secularist rule of the west upon themselves, or they may "drawn". In other words, they may be killed in masses the same as the Muslims of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, etc. To understand the statement made by President Ghani, we need to look in to the terrifying activities of the Syrian tyrant Bashar al Assad, Egyptian Pharaoh Gen. Sisi, Uzbek cruel and Jewish ruler Karimov, etc. that they commit against our brothers in belief.
By using the excuse of "Bad Terrorists" (their own murderous and security companies) and their activities, they are targeting those true Mujahideen and Muslims who are resisting (true Jihad) the invasion of their lands and challenge their presence and interests within the Muslim lands, so to eradicate the courage of Jihad amongst the Ummah. Despite the fact that they can destroy the capacities amongst the Muslim Ummah, however, they may never be able to eradiate the strength of Imaan (Islamic Faith) from the hearts of the people who never abandon carrying the obligation of Jihad righteously for even one day.
It is necessary to remind the traitor rulers of today of the shameful defeat of the past transgressing and invading masters such as the British old colonialist forces and the Russian Communism, whose puppets such as Babrak Karmal, Tarakae, Dr. Najeeb, Qadhafi, Saddam Hussain, Mubarak, Bin Ali, Musharraf etc. and their status after their rules ended. What makes them to believe that they maybe spared from not ending up with such horrific states? Even if they did not witness their punishment during this life, how can they get away from the justice of the Al Muntaqim, Al Aziz and Al Jabbar Khaliq in Hereafter?
The decision is upon yourself to be made. You decide, whether those aforementioned rulers to be considered as "Good or Bad"? Will you also indulge into cruelty, tyranny, treason, and bloody behavior against the Muslim Ummah?

With hearts full of patience and acceptance of Allah's Will, Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Egypt mourns to the Ummah one of its righteous Shabab:
Engineer Aladdin Zinati
Whose soul submitted to its Creator on Monday morning, 05/01/2015, at the age of 57 years in which he spent in obedience to Allah and His Messenger (saw); a carrier of the Da'wah and a trusted guardian for Islam.
The deceased was among the conscious Shabab who hastened to forgiveness from their Lord and whose Gardens as wide as the heavens and earth, carrying the call with Hizb ut Tahrir for more than thirty years, which he spent more than five years in the oppressor's prisons enduring adversity, expecting the reward from the Powerful (Al-Qawei), the Compeller (Al-Jabbar), Who crushes the titans and humiliate the haughty tyrants.
May Allah have mercy on our dear brother; he was pleasant, warm and a devotee of the Da'wah and its Shabab, working rightfully and was steadfast on the right and optimistic of the promise of Allah Almighty. ‘O Allah, have mercy upon your servant, the righteous, the Mujahid, though we do not ascribe purity to anyone, and make honorable his reception. Expand his entry and exchange his home for a better abode, and his family for a better family, and gather us and him under the banner of the Prophet on the Day of Resurrection.
The Janazah prayer for the deceased body will be performed, Allah willing, today after Asr prayer in Masjid An-Nour wa Ar-Rahma at Helmeyet Az-Zaytoon in Cairo, and condolences will be received after Maghrib prayer on Wednesday, 07/01/2015, in the Occasions Hall of Masjid Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim- Salah Salem.
