For another time the Muslims in Kenya have witnessed a series of oppressive invasions by the police on the mosques: Sakina and Musa in Mombasa. This brutal and barbaric action that lead to the death of a student and the arrest of around 250 youths, was ostensibly carried out under the guise of ejecting radicalized youths from the mosques. We of the Islamic Political Party Hizb ut Tahrir East Africa strongly condemn that inhumane act and would like to expound on the following:

The brutality and harshness of the Kenyan police has skyrocketed especially against the Muslims. While there exist various dangerous gangs that lynch innocent people like Baghdad Boys, Mungiki whose majority of their followers are Christians. Yet we have never witnessed a single church being under the police siege tantamount to what they normally do against the Muslims. Unfortunately, the police on their pursuit of oppression against the Muslims, tend to brand the Muslims awful and horrible names such as radicalists, extremists, religious fanatics in an endeavor to legalize their cruelty against them. This is the true picture and essence of the capitalist ideology police as they are only being used to brutalize Muslims.

The horrendous claim that there are good Muslims: moderates and bad Muslims: radicals is naught but a heinous plot hatched to divide them. Even if there exists a difference of opinion amongst them, the government has no legal right whatsoever to continue to subjugate and oppress them under that excuse. We strongly denounce these calls and slogans and the war on terror for in their totality are meant to combat Islam and Muslims.

This subjugation is as a result of the dearth of real representation of the Muslims issues. Even politicians, who come out feigning to condemn this brutality and cruelty, do it just to achieve political mileage. The evidence can be justified by their act of deceiving innocent Muslims that participation in the democratic system is the sole way of averting oppressions launched against Muslims. While knowingly concealing the glaring truth that it's the democratic system that is the source of all the tribulations, sufferings and the cruelty committed against innocent people and worse their fellow Muslims.

This subjugation and oppression being witnessed today, is just amongst many others that are being committed against the Muslims worldwide and, for granted, they will never cease till the Muslims embark on their abandoned tedious obligation to work towards the sole purpose of the reestablishment of the just Islamic State Khilafah "Caliphate" in one of the many Muslims countries. That is the only ruling system potent of safeguarding Muslims and non-Muslims alike against the oppression of their enemies.

India-Bangladesh Foundation and Dhaka University have jointly organized a two-day "1st India-Bangladesh High Commissioners' Summit 2014" in Dhaka on 14th November, 2014. The summit was conducted as part of strengthening economic and security cooperation between India and Bangladesh. A nine-point "Dhaka Declaration" has been adopted by former high diplomats who served in Dhaka and New Delhi.

In actual fact this summit was a farce, aiming to deceive public opinion. While India is aware of the prevailing massive anti-Indian sentiment among the Bangladeshi people, the lackey Hasina government is busy arranging such kind of gatherings in a bid to shore up the image of its master. It is not unknown to anyone in Bangladesh that India is our worst regional enemy obsessed with smothering Bangladesh economically and politically. However, we observed that the participants in that summit have glorified the bilateral relations between India and Bangladesh as friendly whereas we know that for the last forty-two years it has always been a predator-prey relationship. Since the independence of Bangladesh, Indian Border Security Force (BSF) has killed thousands of unarmed local Bangladeshi villagers with many more incidents of rapes, tortures and cruel imprisonment. Adding to the above, the so-called friendly state India has almost finished installing the longest geopolitical barbwire fencing (3326 kilometers) along the Bangladesh border. The glaring trade disparity between the two countries swelled to a record high (USD 5.6 billion) in the last fiscal year where Bangladeshi export in the Indian market hit rock bottom due to their restrictive import policies. Not only does India inflict severe harm on Bangladeshi economy and mass population, it orchestrated the biggest blow against our defense forces by carrying out the heinous Pilkhana Massacre.

Despite all the above crimes of India, Hasina is keen to entertain the wishes of her master from arranging such deceptive summits to permitting the National Intelligence Agency of India to visit Bangladesh as part of their ongoing conspiracy to subjugate the people of Bangladesh. We all know the primary reason for such security collaboration with Indian agencies is not only to tackle ‘militants', but to suppress the imminent rise of Islam under the cloak of combating terrorism.

Hizb ut Tahrir calls upon the Muslims of Bangladesh to work sincerely for the re-establishment of the rightly guided Khilafah "Caliphate" that can only bring end to all sorts of oppressions being committed by this mushrik state and regain India as part of the Islamic land. Thawban reported that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:

عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «عِصَابَتَانِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَحْرَزَهُمَا اللَّهُ مِنْ النَّارِ عِصَابَةٌ تَغْزُو الْهِنْدَ وَعِصَابَةٌ تَكُونُ مَعَ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَام»
