Kerry Refused to Apologize for the American Crimes in Afghanistan He Slapped the ‘Tough' Karzai on his Face that is Already Used to Humiliation

After the U.S. administration of the occupation of Afghanistan defined the terms of the security treaty with Afghanistan - that provides a legal cover to legitimize the acts of murder and piracy committed by American soldiers, including raids on the Afghans' homes- American agent Karzai (whose name has become synonymous with agent activity and betrayal) tried begging for a fig leaf to cover his vice.

News & Comment Sexual violence in parts of UK is 'as bad as in warzones'

According to a new report, the level of sexual violence in gang-afflicted neighbourhoods of the UK is comparable to that seen in war zones.
"In some areas the level of sexual violence and the types of violence inflicted are comparable to how sexual violence is used in war-torn territories," said Professor Jenny Pearce of the University of Bedforshire, lead researcher on the sexual violence report for the Office of the Children's Commissioner.

Called ‘It's Wrong But You Get Used To It', the report found that girls as young as 11 are being systematically exploited, groomed, and raped in the worst gang-affected areas of the UK, with the peer-on-peer violence going unreported and ignored.

Sue Berelowitz, the Deputy Children's Commissioner, said rape was widespread and happened "on a daily basis" in the worst-hit areas. "As soon as a girl has had sex, coerced or otherwise, it is completely open season on her. She has abrogated all right to refuse to have sex with someone for all time. They will and do have sex with her any time, any place and anywhere," she said. She added that the "sheer levels of sadism" uncovered by the inquiry had been shocking.

John Pitts, a researcher for the report and an expert on gangs, said he had been shocked by the "normality" of the violence reported. "There was an acceptance or resignation of the brutality of their lives," he said.

"These young people are very difficult to get to, but when we did we found sexual violence appeared to be routine and regarded as unexceptional. For many of them this was the wallpaper of their lives."

Comment

Living here, you sometimes start to think that few things can shock you but then a report like this comes along. We live in technologically modern cities, where things appear neat, pretty and organised on the surface yet a report like this highlights another side of UK society which is not limited to one part of the country. These are some of the shocking problems confronting liberal and secular societies where values of right and wrong keep evolving. Someone on the radio even argued that women having multiple sexual partners is a good thing - as she saw it as a progress for liberal values and free expression.

So what solutions are offered? Matthew Reed, chief executive of the Children's Society, said: "Schools, health and youth services must get better at teaching children about healthy relationships. They need to teach both boys and girls about what consent means, so children can protect themselves from becoming involved in exploitation."

Who is best placed to teach about ‘healthy relationships' between men and women? Where is the mention of the role of families? As the liberal culture promotes all types of relationships, what exactly is a healthy relationship between men and women? And what about stopping the popular culture that sometimes glorifies sexual violence against women in music videos and films - claiming it is harmless fun? What about the glorification of gangster culture?

Unfortunately, when reports like these highlight the type of problem it has, there is a lot of talk about the problem but little about tackling the values that lead to the problem - because some of those values are ‘beyond question' since they are regarded as the latest manifestation of freedom and liberalism.

Like most families, Muslim families living in areas where such problems are prevalent fear for their children, have to make a lot of dua for their protection and do everything to instill the correct way Islam teaches us to value and protect women and engage in relationships between men and women.

News & Comment Absolute Internet Freedom in Malaysia is Destructing the Behavior of Many of Malaysia's Youth

  • Published in News & Comment
  •   |  

News

On the 18th of November, the news website, Malaysiandigest.com reported on a story about an unhealthy trend among the youths in Malaysia to mimic the liberal Western way of life propagated through billions of internet sites, including many pornography sites. The report addresses the worrying fall out on the youth of absolute freedom of the internet, associating it with the rise of rape cases. It is estimated that 10 women are raped every day in the country, with many more going unreported. At least half of the victims are said to be children and teenage girls below 16 years old. Some pornography sites even deliberately target the young by registering website names that mimic children's TV shows. Former Prime Minister Tun Mahathir Mohamad also stated recently that he thinks the internet should be censored.

Comment

According to a study conducted by the National University of Malaysia, 60% of internet users in the country utilize it for entertainment and pleasure such as watching videos on YouTube and playing games. Thus, unhealthy cultures have spread within the society and influenced people, especially teenagers and children. It has caused many teenagers to become obsessed with games, watching videos, and chatting on the internet, affecting their education and causing them to become lazy in other spheres of their life or in fulfilling their Islamic or family responsibilities.

Further exacerbating the situation, pornography videos which are very easily accessible on the internet have influenced teenagers and even children. Although pornography magazines and other similar material have been prohibited to enter Malaysia, the advent of 'absolute freedom' provided under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 and the Bill of Guarantees MSC related to the internet, has facilitated the speedy online spread of pornographic videos within the society and without censorship. This absolute internet freedom that has been endorsed by the Malaysian government and that is based on Western liberal values, allows internet companies and sites to function with few limits and also encourages individuals to pursue and fulfill their desires in any way they wish, carrying with it therefore the high possibility of causing an increase in acts that violate the dignity of women and girls within the society. Many cases of rape involve teenagers who initially met and socialized through social networking sites like Facebook and twitter.

Worried about this social ill, the government has begun to take steps to develop a system of Internet censorship as is done in many countries, including China and Australia. Nonetheless, these actions have not brought a resolution to the problem because what should be removed from society is not only pornographic and obscene material but also the concepts and corrupt values stemming from ideologies such as liberalism and secularism that underlie such images. These values, that promote immoral, loose behavior between men and women, are also propagated through many other means within the state, including in magazines, books and entertainment. Hence, these ideologies will not only damage the faith (Aqeedah) of Muslims but will also corrupt and destruct the minds of our future generation, causing them to imitate the terrible and destructive cultures brought in from the West. Therefore, through the ideas of liberalism and secularism, the government has provided absolute freedom to use the internet without thinking of its negative implications.

The government's failure to apply the Islamic Shariah as a whole, including the education and social systems has cause adolescents to become more susceptible and influenced by information gained from the internet. The Islamic education system that emphasizes the development of the Islamic mentality and disposition within children from a young age shapes the pattern of attitude and mindset of young adults. Consequently, the Islamic faith will shine through an adolescent's behavior and way of thinking, empowering them with the ability to differentiate between Islamic thoughts and those ideas and actions that contradict Islam. In addition, the Islamic social system also segregates men and women, and should be applied - whether in the real world or the virtual world as in social networks. This system will also curb the culture of free-mixing as practiced by the West. Therefore, the state must implement the Shariah comprehensively to gain back the purity and cleanliness of the Muslims alongside discarding all damaged concepts, ideologies, and systems that have influenced our youth in a destructive way.

Answer to the Question About the Impurity of Animal Urine and Dung

  • Published in Q&A
  •   |  
The evidence of the prohibition of its utilization came in the Hadeeth of the Prophet (saw) on Istinja' (purification after defecation) (it is impure), and is found with Ibn Khuzaymah with an addition (it is impure, it is a donkey's dung). I read in Ash-Shawkaani's Neel Al-Awtar, quoting at-Tamimi, that dung (rawth) is specifically what comes from horses, mules and donkeys.

The Bloodthirsty Karimov Regime's Thirst is Not Quenched of the Blood of Muslims!

The year 2013 was full of grief and sorrow for the Muslims in Uzbekistan, due to the many martyrs who passed away in the prisons of Karimov, the criminal Jew. Most of the martyrs were Shabab of Hizb ut Tahrir, who were arrested in the period between 1999 and 2000. The mercenaries of Karimov and his thugs tortured these Shabab...

Geneva II Conference: There has to be an Explicit Declaration that Anyone who Accepts to Participate in it in any Form is an Agent of the West and a Traitor to the Muslims (Translated)

On 25/11/2013 the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, declared that the Geneva II Conference will be held on 22/01/2014. He said: "We have a clear goal, which is the full implementation of the Geneva Statement issued in Geneva on 30/06/2012, and the establishment of an inclusive transitional rule, built on mutual agreement (between the parties to the conflict), and with full executive powers, including military and security entities." The U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, whose country has been running the actions around the Geneva Conference and its secret and overt siblings for months, has welcomed to "seek to hold a conference for peace in Syria", which he described as "the best opportunity" to form a new transitional government in the troubled country and take it out of its crisis. The National Coalition had announced its agreement to attend earlier this month, if a number of conditions set by them were approved. America's Lakhdar, the UN and Arab envoy to Syria, reassured on the same day that the Geneva II Conference "will begin without preconditions". It is noteworthy that there is still a dispute over who will represent the Syrian opposition in the conference.

America wants to ensure that from behind this conference, power is safely transitioned to it through a "governing transitional body which enjoys full executive powers, including military and security entities". This is the fundamental clause from the Geneva I Conference, and it will be the main clause in the Geneva II Conference, to which the coalition has agreed beforehand. To safeguard this point from their perspective, it is necessary to eliminate the overwhelming Islamic Project by striking the "Takfiris" and "Extremists" to get rid of the Islamic project, which has increasingly swept the popular arena, as to be decided in the Conference. This is what made America accelerate in holding the conference, before the Islamic Project represented in the Khilafah "Caliphate" can outpace their sectarian project of the region, known as America's project for a new Middle East. Iraq was a first "model" in this project, and Syria is going to be the second model, while America has already extended its rope to drag Syria along. To achieve this, an American formulated international intervention is not farfetched, to implement the solution of Geneva II, so as to ensure the control over the areas of conflict, and to ensure the elimination of the Islamic Project, and then to ensure that the transition of power takes place according to the American project. The rest of what is being said of details, such as securing humanitarian passageways, providing the nutritional needs, releasing detainees and even demanding the ouster of "Chemical Bashar", these are subordinate problems, no matter how hard they try to enlarge them, which can be overcome.

Oh Muslims Rebelling in Ash-Sham, the land of Goodness:

Hizb ut Tahrir has already sent down many leaflets, denoting the gravity of such a conference, reminding that "The Geneva II Conference is a Conspiratorial, Treacherous, Submissive American Conference that must be rejected under all Circumstances. Participation is prohibited by the Shar'ia, just as Silence around its Holding" and that "America Remains Insistent on Holding the Geneva II Conference. Beware of it, and Beware of its Envoy Brahimi, and Beware of its Agent, the National Coalition" and "Finally, the Coalition announced its Bow to Ford all the way down to their Feet. Whereas their Bow before only slightly Exceeded the Limits of their Knees!"

The position on the Geneva II Conference should be solid, evident, without disguise and unambiguous. Therefore all the Muslims in Syria, whom the Coalition claims to represent, have to declare their rejection of the conference, and their lack of acknowledgment of the decisions that will be approved of at the conference, as well as the rejection of the Coalition and that it does not represent them and has no popular extension. The militant groups have already announced that acceptance of participation in the conference is a treacherous action. They must complete this position by explicitly declaring that the Coalition is a creation of the West, especially America, which represents only those who founded it.

Oh Muslims:

The conflict in Syria ash-Sham is now a conflict of civilizations, between capitalism and Islam. All of us feel the help of Allah Almighty for the Muslims in this conflict, who were able to stand in the face of an unprecedented international conspiracy. This is what should motivate them to increase their commitment to what Allah commands, so that His help for us will be complete, and our victory from the Strong, the Glorious will be undiminished. Allah Almighty grants victory to those who give victory to him honestly and sincerely. This requires that everyone from the general Muslims, their scholars, their nobles and the people of power head to support those working to establish a Khilafah "Caliphate". Hizb ut Tahrir continues reminding you of the method of the Messenger of Allah (saw) as the only method for its establishment. The Almighty said:

((مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ الْعِزَّةَ فَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ جَمِيعًا إِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ الْكَلِمُ الطَّيِّبُ وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ يَرْفَعُهُ وَالَّذِينَ يَمْكُرُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَكْرُ أُولَئِكَ هُوَ يَبُورُ))

"Whoever desires honor [through power] - then to Allah belongs all honor. To Him ascends good speech, and righteous work raises it. But they who plot evil deeds will have a severe punishment, and the plotting of those - it will perish." [Fatir: 10]
