Former Deputy PM John Prescott Links Tony Blair's Iraq Invasion with Radicalisation of Young Muslims

John Prescott has reportedly linked Tony Blair's invasion in Iraq and Afghanistan to the radicalisation of young Muslims at a fundraising event for his son. Prescott's comments were made in February as he spoke at the fundraising event in Gainsborough, The Telegraph reports. The outspoken former deputy PM, who was recently appointed as an unpaid adviser with special responsibility for climate change by Labour leader Ed Miliband, said he believes Blair was wrong for invading Iraq in 2003. "They told us it wasn't regime change. It was. And that's exactly what the Americans have had," he was recorded saying. "Now Tony, unfortunately is still in to that. I mean the way he's going now, he now wants to invade everywhere. He should put a white coat on with a red cross and let's start the bloody crusades again." He went on, "When I hear people talking about how people are radicalised, young Muslims. I'll tell you how they are radicalised. "Every time they watch the television where their families are worried, their kids are being killed or murdered and rockets, you know, firing on all these people, that's what radicalises them."

Finally, one of Tony Blair's closest allies has come out and told the truth about Britain's ongoing crusade in the Muslim world and the deep-seated hatred against Islam that lurks in Britain's political establishment. Despite this, many Muslims continue to support the British Labour Party. Allah (swt) says:

﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَتَّخِذُواْ بِطَانَةً مِّن دُونِكُمْ لاَ يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبَالاً وَدُّواْ مَا عَنِتُّمْ قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَاء مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الآيَاتِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ﴾

"Oh you who have Iman! Do not take for intimate friends from among others than your own people; they do not fall short of inflicting loss upon you; they love what distresses you; vehement hatred has already appeared from out of their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater still; indeed, We have made the communications clear to you, if you will understand." [TMQ: Al-i-Imran: 118]

Ban Muslim Headscarf in Universities, Says Former French President Sarkozy

The opposition leader said he "does not see the consistency of a system where the headscarf is forbidden in primary and secondary school, and in high school, and allowed in universities". A 2004 France banned religious symbols from public schools including the Islamic veil. He added, "It does not make sense." Sarkozy has previously been outspoken about the burka. In 2009, he said the garment reduced women to servitude and backed an official probe to look at banning the veil. France's parliament the passed a burka ban in 2010, leading to protests from Islamic groups who said it was discriminatory. Speaking to TF1, Sarkozy also said French schools should stop serving alternative meals for religious reasons. "I am opposed to the so-called alternative meals where, depending on the origin of the children, the parents' religion, we choose different meals," he said. "The republic has an identity. France is a republic not just a democracy. In a democracy, everyone does what he wants as long as it does not harm others. A republic demands more than that," he added. "If you want your children to have a faith-based diet, you go into private education." [Source: Express UK]

Sarkozy is on a quest to rekindle his political career and he is exploiting the current public sentiments to advocate harsh living conditions for Muslims in France. This is part of a broader initiative to change Islam in the West. Allah says:

﴿وَلَن تَرْضَى عَنكَ الْيَهُودُ وَلاَ النَّصَارَى حَتَّى تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ قُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى اللّهِ هُوَ الْهُدَى وَلَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَاءهُم بَعْدَ الَّذِي جَاءكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلاَ نَصِيرٍ﴾

"And never will the Jews or the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion. Say, "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the [only] guidance. If you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, you would have against Allah no protector or helper." [TMQ: Al-Baqarah: 120]

Pakistani Drone Successfully Test Fires a Laser Guided Missile

Drone war is almost synonymous with Pakistan, where for years American drones fought back Taliban and al Qaeda operations across the border from Afghanistan. It's a tremendously contentious policy, with American planes dropping bombs on insurgents within Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (and, often, killing civilians in the process). What happens to the drone war when American forces leave Afghanistan? Turns out Pakistan may use its own drone to battle insurgents. After years of development, Pakistan is putting the finishing touches on the Burraq, an indigenously made armed drone that successfully test-fired a laser-guided missile. The Burraq bears a strong resemblance to China's CH-3 drone, with forward canards, a pusher propeller, and long, back-sloping wings. The announcement, from the Twitter account of Pakistan's military spokesman Asim Bajwal, notes that the Burraq fired successful on both still and moving targets, that the new drone can operate in all weather, and with pinpoint accuracy. Before building their own drones, Pakistan tried to acquire some from the United States, but those requests were refused. The United States recently relaxed restrictions to allow for the export of armed drones, but it's unclear whether America would be willing to sell any to Pakistan in the future. Why would Pakistan want armed drones of its own? Drones like the Burraq are counter-insurgency weapons, which combine long flight times, surveillance video, and guided missiles to watch for and attack people believed to be part of violent groups. Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) sit on the border with Afghanistan, and following the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, FATA became an operating base for the Taliban. In 2009, following a push by the Taliban into other cities in Pakistan, the Pakistanis launched a ground campaign to drive the Taliban back. Thousands of refugees fled the area to avoid the violence. Drone strikes are an alternative to fighting insurgencies on that scale from the ground. And with the Burraq, Pakistan can now do drone strikes on their own, without the United States.

Instead of fulfilling the Quranic injunction to strike fear into the hearts of the enemies of Islam as per the ayah in surah Al-Anfal,

﴿وَأَعِدُّواْ لَهُم مَّا اسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن قُوَّةٍ وَمِن رِّبَاطِ الْخَيْلِ تُرْهِبُونَ بِهِ عَدْوَّ اللّهِ وَعَدُوَّكُمْ وَآخَرِينَ مِن دُونِهِمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَهُمُ اللّهُ يَعْلَمُهُمْ وَمَا تُنفِقُواْ مِن شَيْءٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ يُوَفَّ إِلَيْكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لاَ تُظْلَمُونَ﴾

"And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know [but] whom Allah knows. And whatever you spend in the cause of Allah will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged." [TMQ: Al-Anfal: 60]

Pakistan's military leadership intends to use the new weapons not to ward off American threats but to terrorize hundreds of thousands of Pakistani civilians living in the tribal area.

The Raheel-Nawaz regime has taken actions against MQM to give credibility to the American drafted National Action Plan. The regime has taken this action to deceive the people that the National Action Plan is not specific to those who for one reason or the other are affiliated to Islamic causes.

Against the backdrop of the distribution of the final declaration of the workshop of the two regions Darfur and Kordofan widely by Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah of Sudan, in all public places of gatherings, transportation terminals and others in Khartoum and the cities of different provinces, the security authorities in Khartoum arrested Brother Ameen Awad Al-Kareem on Monday morning, March 16, 2015 up until writing this statement.

Only the Khilafah "Caliphate" Will Protect the Non-Muslims in Muslim Lands

Fourteen people were killed and more than 70 injured when two suicide bombers attacked churches in Lahore on 15 March, sparking mob violence in which two other suspected militants died. Up to 4,000 Christians later took to the streets of Lahore, many armed with clubs as they smashed vehicles and attacked a city bus station in a rare show of anger. The bombings occurred during prayers at two churches located around half a kilometre apart in the city's Youhanabad neighbourhood that is home to more than 100,000 Christians, officials said. Yet, again the regime has failed in its responsibility because it allows the Raymond Davis network to function on our soil, American spies who plan and buy assassins to create chaos within Pakistan. It failed, as it did not evict the hostile foreign personnel from our soil, whether it is intelligence, private military or diplomatic staff.

Islam has mandated the protection of the non-Muslim citizens in the Khilafah "Caliphate" state, as 000 000 adopted in its "Introduction to the Constitution", regarding Articles 5 and 6, "It is a duty upon us to give the people of the Dhimmah the protection given to the Muslims, due to words of the Messenger of Allah

أَلا مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا مُعَاهِدًا لَهُ ذِمَّةُ اللَّهِ وَذِمَّةُ رَسُولِهِ فَقَدْ أَخْفَرَ بِذِمَّةِ اللَّهِ، فَلا يُرَحْ رَائِحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّ رِيحَهَا لَيُوجَدُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا

"He who kills a covenanted person unjustly shall not find the scent of heaven; its scent is found the distance of a hundred year march", transmitted by Al-Tirmidhi who said it is Hasan Sahih. And al-Bukhari transmitted it with the words

«مَنْ قَتَلَ مُعَاهَدًا لَمْ يَرِحْ رَائِحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّ رِيحَهَا تُوجَدُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا»

"whoever killed a covenanted person will not smell the scent of heaven; and its scent covers the distance of 40 years".

And as the Ameer made clear in his address of 3 March 2015 to the Khilafah "Caliphate" Conference in Turkey, such killing only blackens the name of the Khilafah "Caliphate" which is about to return soon inshaaAllah. This blackening only assists the colonialist agenda. He said, "... 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. 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"."

Only the Khilafah "Caliphate" will Secure Afghanistan from Chinese and American Designs

The reconciliation process initiated by the National Unity government of Afghanistan with the Taliban should be supported by the international community, Pakistan's Ambassador to the United Nations told the UN Security Council on 16 March 2015. Ambassador Dr Maleeha Lodhi welcomed China's closer engagement in promoting reconciliation and economic development in Afghanistan.

The Raheel-Nawaz welcomes China's role and presents its support as an attempt to reduce dependence on America. However, this regime has no vision other than what its masters in Washington dictate. America desires Chinese support of its faltering occupation. As for China, it has its eyes on the huge resources of Afghanistan, more than $1 trillion in potential mineral wealth, which are resources of this Ummah. The Mineral Group's state-owned company have spent $3 billion on a copper mine in Aynak Mine "about 50 kilometers south of Kabul." China National Petroleum Corporation (the largest oil company in the country) agreed in 2011 to develop the Amu Darya Basin in Afghanistan, which is a project that will generate $7 billion in profits. In addition, like America, China fears the brave Muslim fighters who are resisting brutal treatment of Muslims and violation of Muslim lands. Specifically in the case of China, it fears the resistance of East Turkestan, the Uighur Muslims, who are supported by Afghan Muslims, within the area known as the Wakhan Corridor, a highly strategic narrow strip of land in the northeast of Afghanistan, at the nexus of China, Tajikistan and Pakistan. Only the Khilafah "Caliphate" will restore the wealth of the lands and the Ummah to their rightful status. It will work to unify the Muslims as one effective power to resist all those who have exploit them for so long.

Entrapping Armed Forces in Internal War is American Plan

Army Chief Gen Raheel Sharif has renewed call for intelligence coordination and called for fearlessly continuing counter-terrorism operations. "We have resolved to cleanse Pakistan of all kinds of terrorism. Let us join hands. Operations must continue fearlessly," he was quoted by the Inter Services Public Relations as having said at a passing out ceremony of the first batch of law-enforcement personnel at the army-run National Counter Terrorism Training Centre on Pabbi Hills on 18 March.

In 2013, General Raheel paid a key role in ensuring 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".

Only the Khilafah "Caliphate" can free Pakistan's armed forces from the trap in which America has ensnared them through its agents. Only the Khilafah "Caliphate" will rally the Muslims together, tribal and armed forces, in a glorious Jihad Fee Sibeelillah against the Kuffar occupying forces. This action will expose the munafiqeen and rally the Muslims against the disbelievers. Allah (swt) said,

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ مَاتُواْ وَهُمْ كُفَّارٌ فَلَن يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ - فَلاَ تَهِنُواْ وَتَدْعُواْ إِلَى السَّلْمِ وَأَنتُمُ الاٌّعْلَوْنَ وَاللَّهُ مَعَكُمْ وَلَن يَتِرَكُمْ أَعْمَـلَكُم

"Indeed, those who disbelieved and obstructed others from the path of Allah and then died as disbelievers never will Allah not forgive them - So do not lose heart and beg for peace while you are superior. Allah is with you and He will never deprive you of (the reward of) your deeds." [Surah Muhammad [47: 34, 35]

Regime Exploits MQM Crackdown to Save National Action Plan

Following the dramatic last-minute decision to postpone the execution of death row prisoner Saulat Mirza, the government on 19 March decided to reopen the investigation into the murder of former Karachi Electric Supply Company managing director Shahid Hamid. In the video, broadcast on several private TV channels on the night of 18 March and all-day on 19 March, Mirza had confessed murdering Mr Hamid, allegedly on the orders of MQM Chief Altaf Hussain, which were conveyed through his confidant, MQM leader Babar Ghauri. He also accused Sindh Governor Ishratul Ibad of patronising criminals within the party.

The regime is seeking a public relations victory by pursuing the criminals within the MQM. The regime is facing strong resentment against its National Action Plan which the people can see is being implemented to persecute those who are fighting against the American occupation of Afghanistan or those who are working for Islam in the country. The regime has undertaken over 25,000 arrests and launched nearly as many combing operations, taking in many Islamic activists. Prominent Ulema and other Islamic leaders have been raising their objection to the National Action Plan on the grounds that it is to benefit America. Now, the MQM crackdown is being used by the regime to claim before the people that it is not persecuting Islam loving people exclusively, but is only interested in providing security.

However the MQM crackdown is just an eye wash. Had the regime been sincere to the security of the people it would have first rounded up the Raymond Davis network American spies, who fund, plan and supervise bombings and assassinations that have plunged Pakistan into chaos. It would thus cut the snake of insecurity from its head and genuinely earn the respect and admiration of the people. It would close the American consulate in Karachi which is used to incite sectarian and ethnic conflict within Karachi and far beyond it, into Baluchistan. And it would expel all American officials, military and political, who are in constant contact with traitors in Pakistan's leadership, to order and forbid.

Only the Khilafah "Caliphate" will take the necessary steps to provide security for the Muslim Lands by cleansing them of all foreign hostile presence.
