Rebels Make Gains in Syria

Since the rebel victory in Idlib in late March, the rebels have made considerable advances in their ongoing offensive in the wider Idlib province and northwestern Hama provinces. The biggest gain by the rebels occurred when they managed to seize the critical Idlib town of Jisr al-Shughour. The rebels then seized large portions of the northern al-Ghab Plain, cutting off the two roads from the south that connect to the M4 highway, thereby largely isolating the remaining al-Assad forces in the Frikah-Ariha-Mastoumah pocket in Idlib. The Bashar al-Assad was forced to send reinforcements from Damascus to reopen the route. The rebels were unable for some time to carry out large scale offensives, but this has changed with the operation that took back Idlib. Large-scale coordinated rebel offensives are becoming the norm in the uprising now and the regime is struggling to contain it. This shift, though still in its early stages resulted in stratfor concluding the following: "....but the rebels have shown sufficient capabilities and successes that it is time to re-examine the question of what happens if they actually take the country."

Another Riot Another Killing in the US

Riots broke out across Baltimore, in the state of Maryland on Monday 27 after the funeral of a 25-year-old black man who was fatally injured while in police custody. Freddie Gray died April 17, a week after his spine was partially severed while in police custody after his arrest. Something happened to the victim during transport as an Autopsy showed that a "significant spinal injury" caused Gray's death, Gray's spine was severed 80% at his neck, according to a statement from his family attorney. The police initially stopped Gray because he "fled unprovoked upon noticing police presence," according to court documents. Officers say they then saw a knife clipped to the inside of Gray's pants pocket. "We know that having a knife is not necessarily a crime," Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake of Baltimore said, according to The New York Times. But matters escalated after the funeral service and as a result Maryland governor Larry Hogan declared a state of emergency, activating the state's 5,000 national guard, troops from the US national guard began rolling into Baltimore in armoured vehicles on Monday night after violent clashes, looting and fires led city authorities to declare a week-long curfew banning people from the streets at night.

Gray's case is the latest flashpoint for demonstrators who accuse American police of killing young black men without justification. The US has long struggled with a two-tier society with many languishing in the depths of poverty, with little justice in the face a police force that uses brutality to tackle disturbances and protests. The economic crisis form 2008 is now revealing the fracture eat the heart if US society, which the regime was able to hide due to economic prosperity. One US commentator highlighted there is a problem in the soul of the US, which if not fixed could lead to the falloff the US.

Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan Elections

The two most important countries in Central Asia have completed their presidential elections Uzbekistan's elections took place after the Nowruz festivities, on March 29. Just across the border, Kazakhstan went to the polls on April 26. Both elections featured Central Asia's strongmen, Islam Karimov in Uzbekistan and Nursultan Nazarbayev in Kazakhstan. Both have been leading their respective countries since independence and win elections in staged elections rather than a free vote. Karimov confirmed expectations with 90.39%, while Nazarbayev did even better with 97.7% of the votes. Karimov is in a bad state, suffering from a heart attack in 2014, reports a double undertakes his assignments, this has led to a number of factions jockeying for position in a post Karimov regime.

But what is for certain is that both leaders will stand against Islam and Muslims, which has been a consistent feature of their rule.

News and Comment Oppression in Uzbekistan and the Story of Yusuf (as)

  • Published in News & Comment
  •   |  

News:

While Uzbekistan is a land with a long Islamic history which has produced great figures who have made amazing contributions to our Deen, the current leader, Islam Karimov's current legacy is one of ongoing and unspeakable oppression. His regime continues to jail those calling for Islam from various groups. Scholars who oppose the regime are jailed or assassinated, and thousands of dawah carriers have been tortured and martyred in the jails with reports of some being purposely infected with diseases to increase their suffering. Many people suffer poor living conditions and live in fear of the regime's police and security forces.

 

Comment:

News of Muslims facing sever oppression and enduring unimaginable suffering tears our hearts. How do they manage? How do they stand firm on their Deen? Where does the strength come from?

It is hard to sometimes understand how people survive such oppression. In the case of Uzbekistan, after prison sentences, the regime sometimes demands that Islamic dawah carriers must pledge not to return to calling people to live by Islam. Many refuse preferring to stand in obedience to Allah (swt) and seeking His Pleasure. This reminds us of the story of Yusuf (as) and the beautiful patience that his father endured after his brothers returned without the young Yusuf (as). His father was distraught and grief stricken but relied on Allah (swt) and Allah (swt) provided a happy outcome for him in the end. It is the reading and remembrance of such stories of endurance in the Qur'an and Seerah of the Prophet (saw) which helps the believers suffering the most unimaginable oppression to endure - knowing the that Allah (swt) will deliver them and make His Deen victorious long after Karimov and his like are confined to the dustbin of history. May we continue to raise awareness and make dua for an end to the oppression of our brothers and sisters in Uzbekistan, Syria, Central African Republic and other such places.

News and Comment The Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) 2015 - Whose Ends Does It Serve?

  • Published in News & Comment
  •   |  

 

News:

On Nov 26, 2014, the Malaysian Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak presented a white paper entitled "Towards Addressing Threats of Islamic State (IS) Groups" in Parliament in acknowledging the continued threat of violence within and outside the country. Consequently, on April 7, 2015, the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) 2015 was passed without amendment at the Parliament at about 2:25 am after a debate of more than 12 hours. POTA was passed to "fight the growing global threat of terrorism" but is also noted to curb basic civil liberties, which is why arguments continue to surround the preventive detention law. Under the proposed law, police can arrest any person without a warrant as long as they suspect the person is involved in terrorist activities. These suspects can be detained for up to two years, which can also be extended indefinitely. There is also no guarantee of legal representation for the suspects. Under POTA, suspects cannot have their case heard in any court as judicial reviews are not allowed.

 

Comment:

The passing of POTA is in reality an effort to revive the defunct Internal Security Act (ISA). Although POTA states that no person shall be arrested and detained solely for his/her political belief or political activity, the political activity prescribed must be lawful, which connotes that whatever activity, although it is political in nature, but not allowed by the government, can be categorized as terrorism. There is thus no difference between this law and ISA which was originally enacted to curb the activities of the communists, but was consequently extensively used by the government on its political enemies. There is no guarantee that this new law will not be used by the government as ISA had been used before this.

The fundamental element that makes this law contrary to Islam, as far as Islamic law of evidence is concerned, is that POTA gives the government the authority to detain a person for a very long time by only mere suspicion, not by evidence and this is clearly in violation to Islam. It is this very element that is used by the Malaysian government on its political enemies, which seems convenient, in that the enacting of POTA manifests the government's effort in going hand in hand with what the United States of America (US) wants. We all know that the "war on terrorism" has been aggressively promoted by the US across the globe, especially in Muslim countries, targeting Muslims as "terrorists" in this war. Any activities that are not in line with US interests, not to mention endangering the US, especially activities to re-establish the Islamic State (Khilafah "Caliphate"), despite being carried out politically, fall under the definition of "extremism" and "terrorism" by the US. And on this, the US wants all Muslim rulers to side with them in her "war" to curb the efforts of sincere Muslims in implementing Islam under the auspices of the Khilafah "Caliphate". It should be clear, however, that real acts of terrorism or violence or taking up of arms to overthrow the government or to cause chaos or disorder, including killing people without rights, Muslims or non-Muslims alike, are wrong and sinful acts that deserve punishment. We unequivocally reject any form of violence and the offender must be brought to justice and tried, but not arrested and detained only on grounds of suspicion. The wrongdoer must be tried and punished in accordance with what Allah (swt) has revealed.

POTA is another example of man-made law that is contrary to Islam, born from the womb of democracy. POTA, just like ISA and other man-made laws, are realized because they are approved by the majority of lawmakers through the democratic process. As long as this Kufr system is practiced and upheld, all kinds of laws, no matter how cruel the laws may be, can easily be approved. The question is, where do these lawmakers obtain the authority to enact such laws if not from the people who elected them? Hence, sincere Muslims must work to uproot this damaging Kufr system and come hand in hand with those who are working day and night to establish the Deen of Allah (swt) by way of re-establishing the Khilafah "Caliphate" upon the method of Prophethood.

Letter From Andijan

  • Published in Articles

This letter was escaped from Andijan Prison on 12.12.2005:

Letter From Andijan

 

This place, awakening after the morning adhan (prayer call), is not a mosque or a madrassah. This is the Andijan prison, which is rightly prided by its personnel for being at par with Jaslyk and Qorovul-bozor prisons for torturing the prisoners, for scoring second after prisons where death sentences are executed. Just as the prison did serve the empire of evil in the past, now after the Jewish president Karimov took the power it serves as the scene for humiliation of Islam and execution of Muslims. The reality of the prison irrefutably proves one fact: hardships experienced by Muslims of Uzbekistan are not limited only to Uzbekistan, as a matter of fact they reflect the prevailing situation concerning the Islamic Ummah in all Central Asian countries, which recently announced their "independence". Because the Andijan massacre is nothing but only the beginning of "happy life" ordinary Muslims expect from disgusting democracy. The only difference between Andijan and Guantanamo is that the personnel of Guantanamo are not Muslims. But what about personnel of Andijan prison? What kind of people are they? The mere revelation of some means and methods of torture used here shall be enough for brained people to imagine the scope of crime taking place in Andijan.

The Andijan prison is divided into three parts: Mahalla, Bombay, and Samara. Mahalla is production unit, which extensively uses cheap labor for the benefit of prison administration. Bombay is the place where prisoners, whose criminal investigation has not been completed, are kept. Samara is the unit for women and minors, also it is the site where all dirty means and methods of tortures are experimented on the so-called by the prison managers "desperates" (Muslim political prisoners). The implementation of corrupt democracy brought such results that serial killers, political prisoners and cold-blooded criminals are all together "reeducated" at this prison. It is equally hard to both get in here and avoid tortures (the law-enforcement bodies employees do not serve their terms in Andijan, while the spies among prisoners never get tortured).

This is the list of prison administration staff:

Rahmonov Odil - head of prison;

Sultonov Madamin - deputy head of prison;

Ismoilov Bakhtiyor - assistant head of prison for political issues;

Abdullaev Ergash - assistant head of prison for general issues;

Yuldashev Abdufattah - head of operative unit;

Soliev Dolim - chief operative officer;

Hakimov Zuhriddin - chief operative officer of Mahalla unit;

Hasanboev Shokir - head of order maintenance unit;

Rahimov Kamoliddin - operative officer of Mahalla unit;

Arziboev Fozil - head of Samara unit;

Saydullo  - head of sentry;

Muidinov Temurmalik - operative officer of women's unit;

DPNK's (assistants of prison head): Avaz, Tohir, Samigh, Sanjar;

Unit heads: Umid, Shuhrat, Mu'min, Dadakhon;

Mirzaboev Abdurasul - head of production unit;

Yaqubov Shokir - operative officer of Mahalla unit;

Mullajonov Dilmurod - head of medical unit;

Aslboev Ma'mur - head of special unit;

Abdurazzaqov Erkin - operative officer;

Tokhtarov Qahramon - operative officer;

Karimov Jamoliddin - censor;

Burhan - head of search unit;

Sodiqov Halim - member of search unit;

Qodir - balandyor (distributor of food).

All these listed persons were among the most faithful puppets of Jewish Karimov before Andijan massacre. Some of them after May 13th were sacrificed as political victims (i.e. charged for crimes), others were fired as the members of Andijan clan, while some others further intensified their oppression in order to justify themselves in the eyes of president administration.

Newly arriving prisoners, before getting their usual "dirty-stinky inmate" status undergo personal examination turned into material plunder, an interview consisting of moral and physical humiliation, torture and beatings. The administration even has its own slogan: "This is Andijan-central. Never forget where you are. You have only one right - that is obeying. Verdict is final, there is no place for appeals". If a person expresses slightest sign of discontent, he will be "treated" either at the damp camera filled with sewage waters, where the laundry takes 2-3 days to dry, or at the camera featuring agents, spies and torturers backed by prison administration, or at the camera designated for prisoners with HIV or tuberculosis. But if operative officers are not satisfied with this, then they use the procedure of constant movements from one cell to another.

Cooking of food with raw (unheated) oil, insufficient frying of its ingredients to preserve the necessary food weight, humidity in the cells and total absence of heating during winter require that each cell has a kitchen-range or a little electric oven. However, only the agents of administration are allowed to have them, others are not. If officers find such an item during routine search, there will be consequences for the inmates: humiliation, torture, and extraction of money from the wealthy or asking for bribes to cover up the findings.

Ineffable humiliation during morning and evening check-ups is enough for the inmates to be nervous 24 hours a day. To direct complaints to the head of prison, not to mention controlling authorities, is more difficult than to get the audience of Chinese emperor. Countless complaints. 10-15 day hunger strikes (not to mention 5-10 day ones), disemboweling of one's stomach, swallowing metal rods or spoons, cutting the veins, month-long silent strikes sometimes attract the attention of prison administration, but even these do not guarantee the just settlement of problems. None of the prison employees lags behind Rahmonov in obstructionism. The medical unit serves the agents and spies, not regular prisoners, operative officers, not medical personnel, distribute diet food. Even medical treatment is provided by operative and order maintenance officers such as brutal Eshonturaev Ghofur. Hospital cells are rest-rooms for agents and spies, whereas the real sick inmates are kept in isolation wards. Though the administration has been replaced after May 13 events, the method of the work with inmates did not change. According to the administration: preaching is slandering, request of one's rights - terrorism, enjoining what is right and prohibiting what is wrong - violation of internal order, charitable actions - crime.

Before we discuss the events of May 13th, we would like to cite some examples of thoughts, words and actions of the above persons.

Sultonov Madamin, deputy head of prison: "There are both legal and illegal ways we can treat prisoners".

Abdullaev Ergash,  assistant head of prison for general issues: "Only what I say counts! Beware of me".

Ismoilov Bakhtiyor, assistant head of prison for political issues. When one prisoner said: "Though the president of Kyrgyzstan Akaev did not harm his people, he was forced to leave the country. What will happen to you when Jewish Karimov flees the country?", he replied: "You all will be shot".

Yuldashev Abdufattah, head of operative unit: "If I say tally-ho to my people, they will cure you. Thank me for showing a great restraint. And do not hope that days shall continue as they do now, so far we have been showing a restraint. Wait until we do our part".

Soliev Dolim, chief operative officer: "I am a Red cross for you. If you have got any complaints, submit them to me".

Hasanboev Shokir, head of order maintenance unit. When a prisoner (Kholmurodov Akrom) he had conflicted with while on duty in Pop region of Namangan province was transferred to Andijan prison, he met him with as follows: "You will either die here or be outraged". The prisoner could not avoid his harassment even by hanging himself. Where are the complaints he had sent to the controlling prosecutor? Only God and Shokir know this. (When Akram hung himself, his cellmates rushed to save him, and afterwards they all went on a 15-day hunger strike).

Arziboev Fozil (head of Samara unit) together with Saydullo battered underage Elmurod to semi-consciousness because he shouted adhan (prayer-call) and threatened: "If you ever repeat this the punishment will be worse".

Hakimov Zuhriddin (he is of Arabian descent) says: "What are you talking about? The Jewish governs us even by raping our mothers, so what? Now we have found a real friend. That the US is bastard is now well-known. Now we are not afraid of neither Red cross nor Human rights". Then threatens those who used to be leaders of criminal groups: "Well, there are famous criminals coming from Russia to Uzbekistan. As soon as they get the strings of power into their hands I personally will tell them that you had joined the brethren (Muslim political prisoners are called so in prisons)". Also, he offers reward to anyone who beats Zokir (big-bodied, physically fit courageous man, sentenced for religious beliefs).

Muidinov Temurmalik is operative officer working in women's unit. He can compete with the so-called "Mama Roza"'s (souteneurs) in providing comfortable conditions for agent prisoners willing to fornicate with female prisoners.

Abdurazzaqov Erkin, operative officer working with 159s (159 is the Criminal code article all religious prisoners are charged with). Though now he is fired, his "deeds" outdo those of everybody else. He was a treasury of perverted mistreatment found in all prison personnel. Forcing the prisoners kneel, throwing them down to the floor with hands and legs tied, compelling them to curse themselves, beating them in groups are from his arsenal of methods. However, these things could be expected from anyone mentioned in the above list.

Let's discuss Qodir (balandyor) separately. This person responsible for distribution of food always gives a short weight from the food of prisoners. He reduces the time of prisoners' walk. This giant man (almost 2 meter tall) got so scared during shootings of May 13th that he had spent all day hiding somewhere. And now he is a Swarzenegger-like ruffian smashing "akrami"s.

Yuldashev Abdufattah and his subordinates have important and serious objectives to pursue. To achieve the results sought they spend days and nights without a break. Their "GREAT" objective is to keep the brethren from call, to prevent them from enjoining what's right and prohibiting from what's wrong, prohibit the faithful from performing their religious rites, to reestablish the old good times of rule by criminal leaders, to suppress the religious atmosphere in prison AND to please their master Jewish Karimov.

Yusupov Bakhodir from Marghilan (this is his current name, its authenticity could not be verified), nicknamed "hafiz", formerly a personal barber of Qorovul-bozor prison head, a personal tailor of Andijan prison head, currently a favorite of Yuldashev Abdufattah, said the following: "I am an uncompromising arch-enemy of Islam and Muslims, especially of members of Hizbut Tahrir. Though I perform prayers for the sake of appearance, I swore to fight Muslims until my death". He deems himself to be the expert of lies, slander and treason. He prides himself of having outdone Muidinov Temurmalik for 5,000 sums despite the latter's creating conditions for him to fornicate with a female prisoner; he claims to have uncovered a large-scale political crime in Andijan prison as though he is the only person to know that Andijan prison has links with San.gorod (medical prison in Tashkent), that Samara and Mahalla units are interconnected through that and this person. And he brags that he can write complaints about this condition to GUIN (state administration of prisons), Internal ministry and Security service and, in turn, to trick them too. Our proof is that after Andijan events he was the first person to appear on TV under a different name to have witnessed the events (of which we are live witnesses) the way his masters had taught him. Because of his and his colleagues' misinformation 14 inmates from Mahalla and 13 prisoners from Samara were dispatched to Tashkent prison, 2 inmates were transferred from Mahalla to Samara.

On April 16 in Mahalla, April 19 in the prison as a whole a tough examination had been launched. From 21 to 25 April the process was led by GUIN. At the first stage of examination any printed and written stuff - books, notes, copies of Quran and Hadith books - excluding letters had been confiscated. Even some letters were confiscated. As the examination was approaching its final stage, even belongings needed for the daily life were confiscated. Sometimes the searches were conducted twice a day as if there was secret criminal activity in the cells. The rumors stating that "brethren are responsible for such a state of affairs, to crush them there needs to be a "criminal authority" system reestablished, if there is anyone willing to be the leader we will help him" started to actively circulate among prisoners. Some were seriously affected by this propaganda, some surprised, the majority of prisoners got nervous eve though they would clearly understand these dirty games. Simultaneously, the court considering reading a final verdict on 23 persons accused of being members of "akrami" announced a break. In fact, only those who possess enlightened mind would see disgusting plots behind these events. The night of May 12 to 13th at around 00:40 the unexpected burst of fire started the Andijan events. During one and a half hour 4 men (prison guards) were killed with precise shootings, all gates and doors of prison were open. The very appearance of "saviors", the way they held guns, words used and exchange of glances - all clearly revealed them to be from special taskforces. Their major slogan was: "Freedom! Go out! Let's go to mayor's office!" On several occasions they would open cell's door and ask: "Is there anyone from brethren?" Though 4 prison guards inside the prison were killed, no attempts by "saviors" to force inmates out were observed. However, some of their leaders would say: "What on earth has happened to prisoners? Why do not these prisoners want to go out as would gladly have done others?" 540 out of approximately 700 prisoners in all bought this unexpected and temporary freedom and escaped from prison. 160 prisoners (around 60 of them are brethren) did not go outside at all. Only 3 of the brethren went to prison courtyard to warn others not to fall for this trap, and immediately returned. They did not go outside not because they hate freedom, but because they have clearly understood real political and criminal motives behind these events. Even those who escaped did so not in search of freedom, but to breath some fresh air outside of prison's frowzy climate of intimidation and lawlessness. But, there were cases when some of the prisoners took advantage of several hours of "freedom" and committed crimes, one of them even killed his own son, several overly excited prisoners involuntarily participated in shootings.

Though these events did not seriously affect the day-to-day life of prisoners, they entailed Andijan massacre, large scale persecution, arrests, fear-mongering, and tortures of arrested citizens. Some former puppets written off by the authorities were designated as scapegoats and charged. 4 people were killed in Andijan prison, criminal cases were brought against 5 persons, and 5-10 people were fired. Several cowardly and impudent persons were given a chance to show off and vindicate.

The questions about whereabouts of prison guards at that night, when they occupied every waste hole and mice burrow should be directed to them personally. Because these "heroes" continued their usual rule over "dirty prisoners" as soon as the things have settled.

Pulatov I. was appointed as a new head of Andijan prison, Osarov Shahobiddin as his deputy. Osarov started his term by saying: "I value a single pubic hair of my new subordinates more than a hundred dirty-stinky prisoners like you". Having brutally beaten one of the brethren for giving 50 grams of tea to his cellmate, he took him for a tour to all cells and showed him as an example, and said: "Watch this, if any one of you gives something to your mates, you will be just like this. I personally will rape you with batons". Then he proceeded and punished the adhan callers by placing them in isolation wards.

Tokhtarov Qahramon, appointed to lead the order maintenance unit, has dubbed the innocent victims of Andijan massacre - women, children and elderly extremists, and announced he would in cold blood shoot at the people if he was given a gun. When one of the brethren explained him the degree of meanness of these words, he designated a punishment for the brother.

Karimov Jamoliddin, a prison censor, has prohibited to write letters filled with Islamic ideas, and called brethren writing such letters "wahhabi" and "terrorist". When he was conducting a search of one of the brethren, the following conversation took place:

Jamoliddin: You live like a cattle (hinting at cell's disorder).

Brother: Well, taking into consideration that you conduct searches twice a day, this is normal. Tell me, by the way, what are you looking for?

J: You have study circles. We look for your books.

B: What you are looking for is stored in our heads.

J: That is why it is necessary to decapitate you.

Truly, unless the disgusting democracy is fully replaced, the rotations of presidents, ministers and heads (of prisons) will yield no benefit.

O Muslims! The situation inside prisons is no different from the situation outside. In addition to leeches such as judges-prosecutors, law enforcement officers sucking the blood of the society, there are new ones - neighborhood vigilantes and elders as well as treacherous imams of mosques, together they all serve their grand master - the enemy of Allah and us - Jewish Karimov.

These problems have one right solution, that is the reestablishment of rightly guided Caliphate and complete implementation of heavenly shariah laws.

PS. On April 16 of 2005 Muhammadiev Otabek, Omonturdiev Abbos, Oripov Siddiq, and Haydarov Muzaffar were sentenced to additional prison terms ranging from 12 to 16 years, allegedly for conspiring activities. These sentences specify that from 2 to 3.5 years of these terms are to be served in closed (incommunicado) prisons. Before the court has finished considering these cases, the ill-healthed Muhammadiev Otabek died on August 23 (God willing, martyr). Even though we do not know all the details of the treatment he had gotten while he underwent surgery (under surveillance of Andijan department of National security), we know for sure that medical unit of the prison did not do enough to cure him. One of the brethren who stood by Otabek during his last minutes says: "His last movement was extending his hands towards the window of the cell, he smiled as if he was glad to see someone, then he died". Otabek, whose nickname was "qariyb" was of the orators of Mahalla unit. May God accept his martyrdom. Three of these four brethren (all are from Tashkent) have been previously transferred from UYA 64/47 as the conspirers, even though Andijan prison is a closed prison.

News and Comment The Success Stories of Women Empowerment under Capitalism is a Facade

  • Published in News & Comment
  •   |  

News:

On 25th April 2015, it was reported that the US presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton cited the example of Indian women entrepreneurs joining forces to secure micro-finance loans as she made a clarion call to achieving equal pay, ending sexual violence and providing equal opportunities to women across the world. She told a gathering at the sixth annual "Women in the World" Summit at New York that men and women equally have to be the "agents of change" and contribute to the progress required to ensure an equal world for all. Exuding hope that the world is closer than ever before to achieving such change, Clinton cited the example of how women in India, Bangladesh and Liberia are joining forces to improve their lives and secure their rights. "We have seen women all over the world become agents of change, drivers of progress, makers of peace. I have seen penniless women in India and Bangladesh banding together to secure micro-finance loans and start their own small businesses," Clinton said to a packed audience of celebrities, entrepreneurs, activists and students. "So many women are still paid less than men for the same work, with even wider gaps for women of colour," she said.

Comment:

The pretext of women empowerment has been used by the US and other western nations to colonize and loot the resources of the third world countries and Muslim lands since last century. These rosy promises like equal pay, ending sexual violence and providing equal opportunities have been made millions of times to the women of the world by these Capitalist politicians, only to result in more violence, sexual harassment and less respect for women. The US likes to make fools out of its own people as well as the people across the world by telling them that they are creating success stories by providing more jobs to women in the third world and developing countries, while in fact she and European countries are pushing the women in countries like India, Bangladesh and Pakistan to do jobs in humiliating conditions, with extremely long working hours and low wages, which barely feed them. These Capitalist nations, with their colonial mindset, want to achieve maximum profit out of the cheap labour force available in these poverty-ridden countries in fields like garment, textile, agricultural and other small industries. The living conditions for the majority of the population, in these countries is so poor, due to the interest based loans granted to them by the IMF and WB, with strenuous conditions, heavy taxes, high prices of utility goods and services; that the women are forced to leave the sanctity of their homes to do jobs in order to feed themselves and their families.

Moreover, Clinton describes the microfinance system as helpful to women, however the success stories are few while the majority of women who took loans in countries like India and Bangladesh are forced to pay huge amounts of interest for the rest of their lives. They have not been able to improve the standard of their living as promised by these micro financing institutions. For example the village in Bangladesh, Jobra, where Yunus of Grameen Bank pioneered his microcredit model is today just as poor as it was in 1970s while an increasing number of men in Jobra are now forced to undertake sporadic day-laboring jobs in nearby Dhaka and Chittagong to repay the installments on microloans that, in almost all cases have not lead to successful income-generating activities. The sexual harassment and objectification of women as a source of gratification for the males has increased rather multiplied under the Capitalist freedoms oriented system. The women in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and other countries are raped, tortured and humiliated under the sparkling promises of empowerment and equal opportunities. She has been fooled for more than a century now by the western liberal secular Capitalist system.

The western system of Capitalism has failed and no matter how hard they try to save it under the guise of women empowerment, it's a sham and has become a laughing stock for the realists.  Its time now to present the alternate model of system, a tested and reliable system, that worked brilliantly for more than 1300 years, only because it was not made by the limited mind of human beings, rather given by Allah (swt), the Creator of the universe, man and his small and limited mind. The system of Khilafah "Caliphate" that raised the status of women from mere objects and property to the highest ranks of mother, wife, sister and daughter, and where she was provided for, taken care of, protected and viewed as intellectual human beings. A system that ensured her basic rights like food, shelter, health and education in all circumstances and where she was fully able to pursue a profession of her choice without fear of being harassed or objectified. It is only this system of Khilafah "Caliphate" that can ensure the rights of women and her true liberation from the oppression of man-made systems in the future. This is the only system that can eradicate poverty as it did in the past. Allah (swt) says:

وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ أَقَامُواْ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالإِنجِيلَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيهِم مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ لأكَلُواْ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِهِم مِّنْهُمْ أُمَّةٌ مُّقْتَصِدَةٌ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ سَاء مَا يَعْمَلُونَ

"If they had observed the Torah and the Gospel and that which was revealed unto them from their Lord, they would surely have been nourished from above them and from beneath their feet. Among them there are people who are moderate, but many of them are of evil conduct." [TMQ: Al Mai'dah: 66]
