To welcome Muharram and remind the Muslim Ummah of the Hijrah, the migration of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, Hizb ut Tahrir in Indonesia carried out various activities namely longmarches, motor convoys and dzikir together. These activities were organised throughout the main cities in Indonesia.

Hijrah is the moment when Allah (swt) differentiated between truth and falsehood by giving the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam real power and authority which was manifested in the form of the first Islamic State.

HTI calls all elements of the Muslim Ummah to take Muharram as its momentum to change the Jahiliyah system, secular system and replace it with the Islamic system by establishing the Islamic State, Khilafah "Caliphate" Islamiyah.

US: Florida Parents Protest Textbook Chapter on Islam

A school board meeting was postponed Tuesday after upset Volusia County parents said a world history textbook in schools statewide teaches children more about Islam than other religions. Parents in Volusia County said the book has an entire chapter on Islam but doesn't give the same attention to other religions. They protested outside school district headquarters, calling for equal education. Demonstrators on both sides had a heated discussion. "The people behind this movement are reflecting a national trend of hate groups that are promoting hatred of their Muslim neighbours. I think that's un-American and it's frankly just promoting intolerance, and right now what I think our community needs is to learn from each other," said Hassan Shibly, CAIR Florida executive director. The Volusia County School Board said it postponed its Tuesday meeting "in the interest of public safety." The district said it was contacted by the US. Department of Justice before the meeting was supposed to start and said "the nature of this information raised substantial safety concerns." The district said with the information it received, it decided to put more security measures in place to make sure everyone at the meeting would be safe.[Source: ActionNewsJax.com]

Muslim Workers in America Fired for Praying

For more than three years, Mohamed Maow worked at DHL Global Mail in Hebron, Ky. He said he earned $11.57 an hour to sort mail and was paid time-and-a-half for over-time. Maow, 27, a refugee from Somalia who came to the U.S. in 2007, said he never received any negative comments about his performance. Yet on Oct. 9, after he said DHL supervisors reversed a policy of flexible break times that allowed Maow and fellow Somalis time to pray, he was among two dozen Muslims fired for stopping to say five-minute evening prayers required by their religious beliefs. Maow's is one of 11 complaints filed with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that allege DHL Global Mail fired a group of Somali Muslims for exercising their legally protected religious rights. Fired workers, three of them full-time employees of DHL and the other 21 part-time who help through two temporary service agencies, said they had been allowed to pray by previous supervisors. DHL officials at corporate headquarters in Weston, Fla., and at the Hebron location did not respond to requests from The Cincinnati Enquirer for comment. Reached Wednesday at her Columbus office, in-house DHL counsel Christa Johnson said, "I have no comment at this time." She had responded in writing to CAIR, which would not provide a copy of the letter to The Enquirer. [Source: The Cincinnati Enquirer]

Kerry Makes Highest-Level American Visit to Egypt Since Morsi Ouster

US Secretary of State John Kerry made a brief stop Sunday in Cairo, where he said that America was a friend of the Egyptian people and committed to contributing to Egypt's success. At a press conference, Kerry said that the relationship between the U.S. and Egypt is "very important" and added that whatever happens with the North African country's current political instability is "profoundly important" to the Middle East and the interest of the United States. Kerry's visit was his first since the Egyptian military's removal of Mohammed Morsi in July, which was followed by a harsh crackdown on his protesting supporters that led the US. to suspend hundreds of millions of dollars in aid. The State Department apparently expected a frosty reception for Kerry, especially with tensions running high on the eve of Monday's scheduled start of Morsi's trial on charges of inciting murder. The department refused to confirm Kerry's visit until he landed in Cairo, even though Egypt's official news agency reported the impending trip three days earlier. The secrecy was unprecedented for a secretary of state's travel to Egypt, for decades one of the closest US. allies in the Arab world, and highlighted the deep rifts today between Washington and Cairo. Egypt's foreign minister, Nabil Fahmy, said last month that US.-Egyptian relations were in "turmoil" and warned that the strain could affect the entire Middle East. With U.S. influence ebbing, Kerry's message about the importance of economic and constitutional reforms was expected to be met with suspicion, if not outright hostility, by Egyptian leaders and a population deeply mistrustful of Washington's motives. Many Egyptians accuse the Obama administration of taking sides in their domestic political turmoil; American officials adamantly deny it. [Source: Fox News]

Former Pakistani Ambassador to US Haqqani Reveals America's Secret Letter

US President Barack Obama secretly offered Pakistan in 2009 that he would nudge India towards negotiations on Kashmir in lieu of it ending support to terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Taliban, but much to his disappointment Islamabad rejected the offer. "Since the 1950s Pakistan had wanted an American role in South Asia. Now it was being offered one. In the end Pakistan would have to negotiate the Kashmir issue directly with India. But at least now the American president was saying that he would nudge the Indians toward those negotiations," Pakistan's former ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani writes in his book 'Magnificent Delusions,' which hit the stores on Tuesday. This is Haqqani's interpretation of the secret letter written by President Obama to the then President Asif Ali Zardari, which was personally hand delivered by his then National Security Adviser Gen (rtd) James Jones. The letter's content is for the first time being disclosed by Haqqani, the then Pakistan's envoy to the US. In his 300-page book, Haqqani writes that in November 2009, Jones had travelled to Islamabad to hand deliver a letter written by Obama to Zardari.Dated November 11, 2009, through the letter Obama offered Pakistan to become America's "long-term strategic" partner. The letter "even hinted at addressing Pakistan's oft-stated desire for a settlement of the Kashmir dispute," he writes. "Obama wrote that the United States would tell countries of the region that 'the old ways of doing business are no longer acceptable'. He acknowledged that some countries - a reference to India - had used 'unresolved disputes to leave open bilateral wounds for years or decades. They must find ways to come together'," Haqqani writes.

For the past 90 years, the Turkish Republic has regarded its citizens as its enemy; since its inception October 29th of 1923 on the basis of the secular democratic idea; built on the remains of the Ottoman Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" State which was destroyed by the local agents, admirers of the malicious English and the West; which was regarded at the time even by the recognised powers of the time as the "Sick Man".

Due to this hostile view towards Islam and the Muslims held by this corrupt regime: The Islamic laws in ruling were replaced with Western laws, there was an intrusion on the Islamic way of life through the rejection of Allah's commands and prohibitions, the mosques were shut down and converted to stables, the Athan (call to prayer) was changed into the Turkish language faraway from its origin, major sins like Zina (extra marital relations) and Riba (interest) and alcohol usage have became legal according to the laws of the State, and thousands of Muslims were killed and assaulted for refusing to keeping silent over this oppression.

The Republic regime in contradiction to Islam is based on secularism that denies the right of Allah of control and management of the earth. It regards the laws revealed and explained by Him (swt) to the people as rules that do not agree with the times. By the idea of democracy, man is made sovereign not Allah (swt).

At the time when the circle of "Nationals" were forcing the Muslims to adopt the Republic like soldiers do and by the strict laws, the conservative democrats began their work to fool the Muslims by explaining the word "Al-Jumhoor" (the public) as an Arabic word which means "the majority" in an attempt to make the Muslims adopt it through changing the interpretations of the Shar'i texts.

For this reason they still continue to celebrate the ominous day of the establishment of the Republic as a festival with full knowledge of the hadeeth of the Prophet (saw) which explicitly says:

«أبدلكم الله تعالى بهما خيرا منهما، يوم الفطر والأضحى».

"Allah Ta'ala has replaced them for you with better than them, the day of Fitr and Adha" [Narrated by Abu Daoud].

In terms of the reality, while they celebrate this festival, this regime does not have any recorded successes: whether in the political front, economic, security, education, society or moral level. The Turkish state failed in every stage to secure political stability, including the ruling AK party. On the political front, the country became a follower to the outside foreign policy of the major powers. On the economic front, the country's foreign debts did not decrease from their known levels of billions of dollars, which pulled people into the interest based loans swamp, and it failed to deliver the state of luxury to the poor class of society contrary to their claims.

As for the crime levels, it is increasing day by day, nonstop. Even the numbers displayed by the Security Department and the Statistics Institute showed that crime have reached terrifying levels.

As for the Education System, it remains deficient, only good for futility and games. It has led to dissolution of the youth. Youth under this Education System have become a generation that deals with drugs, alcohol and immorality; and the capitalist mind-set dominate them.

The family unit which is the basic nucleus of society is in a pitiful state. Family ties which Allah (swt) ordered to be connected (as is well known by all) is cut. According to the information presented by the Family Ministry that 150,000 divorce cases happen every year.

These numbers are not unexpected. Allah (swt) is the Creator and the Planner, more knowledgeable of the Universe, Man, and life and He (swt) puts down the excellent system for their organisation. As there is no doubt that Islam is a complete and comprehensive system of life that takes care of the affairs and presents all solutions to its problems, it is not incomplete. Do the rulers of today and their followers think that Islam is incomplete? God Forbid, because it is witnessed that they import kufr systems to implement over the people to suppress the Muslims. According to which creed can they prove that what they hold is "the best"? Allah (swt) says:

((الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الإِسْلاَمَ دِينًا))

"This day I have perfected for you your deen and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as a deen." [Al Ma'ida: 3]

The Prophet's Seerah has clearly proved beyond doubt that the Khilafah "Caliphate" System is the only system that implements the Systems of Islam which is for people's lives; it implements it in a complete and comprehensive way. The Islamic History for over 1400 century is the best testimony to this.

Look to what became of us when we forgot the Khilafah "Caliphate" so fast and yet it has not been a century since its destruction. Did you see how our minds were fooled with? We have become in a state of ignorance about our ideology and our great systems to the extent that we became pawns under the kufr systems, its thoughts and way of life. How can we be satisfied with this situation? When Allah (swt) says:

((وَاللّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَقُّ أَن يُرْضُوهُ إِن كَانُواْ مُؤْمِنِينَ))

"Allah and His Messenger are more worthy for them to satisfy, if they should be believers." [At-Tawba: 62]

Under an unprecedented American attack in dealing with the Syrian file, and under severe pressure on the oppositional National Coalition to attend the Geneva II conference, Washington is spending its outmost effort for the conference to be held, to impose their solution. Following their path and serving them, their envoy Lakhdar Brahimi took off with his American mission after receiving green light from the U.S. to move. So he shuttled to some countries in the region, and then met the criminal Bashar on Wednesday, 30/10/2013 CE. He concluded his trip in Tehran on Saturday 02/11/2013 CE to present the outcome of his meetings to America, whose Foreign Minister meets with the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs today on 05/11/2013 CE. Within this meeting the practical steps for the holding of the conference will be agreed upon, including setting the date for it to take place. On top of this, the American Lakhdar's movements and statements have coincided with the positions of both America and Russia, and Iran and the criminal regime of Bashar al-Assad, and have all been united in the same direction: The need for this conference, giving Bashar and Iran a role to ensure that American interests are achieved through the conference. America has contributed to strengthen the position of its agent Bashar militarily and supplied him with money, men and arms through their agents, under Iranian lead, and by protecting him from international accountability after using chemical weapons against Muslims in Syria. They have even strengthened his international position and praised him for abandoning this weaponry for the benefit of the West and the Jewish entity, the enemies of Islam and Muslims. Hence their agent Bashar goes to the conference in a position of strength, and the other party is weak, and hence America can dictate its terms of a solution.

The Geneva II Conference is a perfidious, submissive American conference cooked in the cellars of the U.S. State Department, and carried out in the corridors of the United Nations as one of its subsidiaries, which is now led by the assistant of the former U.S. Secretary of State Jeffrey Feltman, who works as a political adviser to its president Ban Ki-Moon. On top of this, America has chosen the lowest personalities from the secular figures to form what is known as the Syrian National Coalition to represent Muslims in the upcoming negotiations. To make it worse, those who are even more despicable in representation will be added to them: the members of the National Coordination Body for the Force of Democratic Change, the direct agents of the criminal Syrian regime. It is well known that what was adopted by the Geneva I Conference from a demand for the formation of a transitional ruling body with full executive authority, including members of the current government, the opposition and other groups, was formed on the basis of mutual compatibility in order to reach a democratic system of governance. It is a U.S. demand which America wants to make a framework for a solution. It is no secret that this body will be on the pattern of the Iraqi Governing Council in terms of sectarian and ethnic distribution within it. We have started witnessing such features through the Kurdish military moves and the statements of the Christian party who conjures up a crisis with the Muslims so its political demands and demands for representation in the Council are justified. This gives the pre-image of the colonial, malicious American intentions against Muslims in Syria and the region.

Since the conditions of the solution have not yet become clear, for the existence of an overwhelming Islamic position in the revolution, it is expected that America will first of all apply pressure to hold this conference, only to receive the legitimacy of the Governing Council. Then the next step of working on the ground will follow, to eliminate Islamic militant revolutionary groups by way of political, media and military mobilization, and sending international peace forces that are effective, i.e. militant, as was stated by the American Lakhdar himself. This comes along the lines of the international ISAF forces in Afghanistan, which committed the most heinous crimes against the Muslims there. America works to install the new Karzai of Syria, and to split the fighters and give legitimacy to those who walk along with them and strike those who refuse to do so, after accusing them of terrorism. All of this will be carried out under the pretext of maintaining international legitimacy and the international solution, which is in fact the American solution.

The question that imposes itself here is: How do the National Coalition of Jarba and Kilo, and the Military Council of Idris accept to go to Geneva II and bow to the American solution, while America declares day and night that they will not intervene except on the basis of their interests?! On top of that, Bashar is their agent who schemes his criminal actions according to American commands, but as America has not been able to maintain him on the ruling chair, it is looking for an alternative agent ruler. Are they going to Geneva II alongside America to achieve this?! Does not the American silence around Assad's crime of using of chemical weapons against the people mean that they work against Muslims in Syria?! Further, does not their attendance of Geneva mean they are seeking to be part of the solution?!

Oh Conspirators from the Members of the National Coalition: Your participation in this conference, and in any other American-sponsored conference, is an unforgivable crime. The fury of the Ummah will come over you like a thunderbolt, if you do not stop throwing yourself into American laps. You are the new agents who will sell Muslim blood cheaply for empty positions and crippled chairs of ruling, standing on blood and body parts. In this role you are more dangerous than Bashar himself, his regime and his security team which will as a whole turn into your security apparatus.

Oh Righteous Muslims in Syria ash-Sham the Abode of Islam: Allah Almighty commands us assertively to rule with His complete Shari'ah in all affairs of life, and warns us from ruling with anything else, moreover to be our enemy as America. He (swt) said:

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَتَحَاكَمُوا إِلَى الطَّاغُوتِ وَقَدْ أُمِرُوا أَنْ يَكْفُرُوا بِهِ وَيُرِيدُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ يُضِلَّهُمْ ضَلَالًا بَعِيدًا

"Have you not seen those who claim to have believed in what was revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what was revealed before you? They wish to refer legislation to Taghut, while they were commanded to reject it; and Satan wishes to lead them far astray." [An-Nisa: 60]
He (swt) also said:

فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَرَجًا مِمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا

"But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muhammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing] submission." [An-Nisa: 65]

Therefore even resorting to America is Haram and its prohibition is grave. The titles placed for the Geneva II Conference reveal the severity of antagonism with the Deen of Allah. When America declares a fight against terrorism and terrorists, meaning Islam with "terrorism", and with "terrorists" meaning the owners of the Islamic project working to establish a Khilafah "Caliphate" state from among the Muslims, then this should make us realize that America understands the magnitude of danger posed on it through the Da'wah and the work for the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate". It stings America severely that the Da'wah for the Khilafah "Caliphate" is launching out with strength in Syria ash-Sham. Here is Hizb ut Tahrir, leader of this Da'wah, stretching out its hand to all those working sincerely, such that they appoint Hizb ut Tahrir to establish this great obligation that satisfies Allah Almighty according to His saying:

وَلَيَنْصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَنْ يَنْصُرُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ * الَّذِينَ إِنْ مَكَّنَّاهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَمَرُوا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَنَهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَلِلَّهِ عَاقِبَةُ الْأُمُورِ

"And Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might. [And they are] those who, if We give them authority in the land, establish prayer and give zakah and enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. And to Allah belongs the outcome of [all] matters." [Al-Hajj: 40-1]
