Throughout those days of June 1967, the Arab rulers at the time committed a heinous crime against the Muslim ummah. During those six days, they enabled the Jewish state to defeat the armies of the Muslim ummah in Egypt, Jordan and Syria, led by their criminal leaders, including Hafez Assad in Syria, who announced the fall of Qunaitra one whole day before the entry of the enemy to the Golan Heights. The town of Qunaitra was located behind the lines of the Syrian army fighting then in the Golan Heights; thus leading to the disruption and withdrawal of the army. On that fateful day, Hafiz Assad, the agent of the West received authority in Damascus as a prize for selling off the Golan Heights.
So, Syria was struck many times under the leadership of this criminal family:
On the day when Hafez Assad sold off the Golan Heights, the day when he secured the borders of the Jewish state, the day he committed the massacre of Hama, and the day when the murderer Bashar inherited the authority after the death of his father, the killer. Here is Bashar today, continuing the criminal legacy of his father by committing daily massacres in Syria with the complicity of the entire world against its blessed revolution. This is because there is still a debt owed since the sale of the Golan Heights. We, in Hizb ut-Tahrir in Syria remind the people, especially those who claim to resist the occupation and live off the support of this criminal regime, that Hafez Assad who sold off the Golan, and his son after him are the loyal allies of the Jewish state. Bashar announced yesterday before the new council of puppets that the enemy is not at the battle front against the Jews; rather the enemy is at home: in the heart of Homs which is pounded day and night, in Dar'aa, Idleb, Aleppo and Damascus, which are embittered by bombing, killing and detention ... We remind people that the shells of Bashar killed the defenseless Muslim people, dozens of times more than the Jewish state killed in all of its wars with Syria. Is it not time for the advocates of this regime to come to their senses, if they have any, to understand that they support a malicious, criminal, and oppressive agent regime that not only protects the Jewish state; but is the bitterest enemy of the ummah: her deen, her land and her honour. He (SWT) says:
أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الأَرْضِ فَتَكُونَ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ يَعْقِلُونَ بِهَا أَوْ آذَانٌ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا فَإِنَّهَا لا تَعْمَى الأَبْصَارُ وَلَكِنْ تَعْمَى الْقُلُوبُ الَّتِي فِي الصُّدُورِ
"Do they not travel through the earth, where they would have hearts by which they contemplate, or ears by which they hear. Indeed, the sight is not blind; it is rather the hearts (located) in the chests are blind"
In conclusion, we say to the rising Muslim people in beloved Syria:
You have realized the path to your salvation through the revolution against this criminal regime; and you understood the stance of America and the West against from the successive deadlines given to the regime; the latest deadline was the Annan plan. Since the announcement of this plan the number of martyrs reached more than 2286 martyrs, of whom 206 are children and 214 are women. So, declare the categorical rejection of any intervention of the West in your issues, and cut off the head of the snake and purify the country of the Al Assad criminal ring and their associates. Let the memory of the conspiracy of June 1967 be another motivation for you to revenge the violation of the sanctities of Allah. Hand over the reins of your authority to the faithful of you from Hizb ut-Tahrir to establish the state of Islam, the rightly guided Khilafah "Caliphate" State. Then the Muslim armies led by the Khaleefah will rush for a victory which our hearts have longed for, to defeat the enemy, and return every occupied, wasted or sold inch of the land of Islam. Rather, they would spread the Truth to the entire world, so that your State returns as a beacon of light, and your ummah becomes the best nation brought for mankind. Stand firm; for no matter the forces of evil gathered against you they are more despicable in the sight of Allah than the dung beetle. Look to the heavens rather than to the earth; for Allah All Mighty alone is your supporter, and He promised you of victory; and indeed His promise is true. He (SWT) says:
وَاذْكُرُوا إِذْ أَنْتُمْ قَلِيلٌ مُسْتَضْعَفُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ تَخَافُونَ أَنْ يَتَخَطَّفَكُمُ النَّاسُ فَآَوَاكُمْ وَأَيَّدَكُمْ بِنَصْرِهِ وَرَزَقَكُمْ مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ.
"And remember when you were few and vulnerable on earth; where you were afraid that people might sweep you away; so He gave you homage, supported you with His victory and provided you with good things, that you may be grateful."

Almost eighteen months after the downfall of Mubarak, America through her loyal agents in the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) has effectively scuttled the Egyptian revolution and disarmed the Muslim brotherhood. By doing so, the US has successfully managed to keep the regime intact minus a few missing faces. This is similar to the much coveted Yemeni model, where the West was able to keep Salah's regime in power without him. In the present Egyptian regime, the only outward casualty of any prominence is Mubarak. Set against this background the claims of a Morsi victory in the presidential elections by supporters of the Muslim brotherhood not only sound increasingly hollow but are extremely naïve indeed.
Over the past year or so, SCAF a vestige of the Nasserite period has adroitly hoodwinked the Egyptian people and tamed the divided opposition to retain absolute control over Egyptian affairs and continue with America's hegemony in the region. The nomination of Shafiq's candidature to the presidency, acquittal of Mubarak's sons, and the declaration by the Supreme Court to dissolve parliament are just some of the glaring measures enacted by the army generals to ensure that SCAF retains its grip on power. But perhaps the most daring of all political maneuvers instigated by SCAF was its decree to limit the powers of the President.
Such an act bestows full control to the army general over all civilian and legislative matters. In summary it is a carte blanche to write the country's constitutions in the army's image. SCAF is free to appoint assembly members to write the constitution, interfere in the drafting of the articles and veto any proposed canons that are deemed against the interests of the army generals.
SCAF could not have mustered the courage to take such a bold military coup against the Egyptian people if it was not for the antics of the Islamic opposition. The Islamic opposition never spoke with one voice and repeatedly contradicted itself by trying to please the West, the army, the Egyptian Muslims and the rest. The Islamic parties were unable to express unambiguous opinions on Egypt's relations with America and Israel, the role of Shariah in society, the system of ruling and the treatment of non-Muslims. In their quest to appease the West they forgot to fear Allah (SWT) and sought to assuage the apprehensions of His (SWT) creation. Allah says:
"Oh you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared and die not except as Muslims." [Al-Imran: 102]
"Oh you who believe! Keep your duty to Allah and fear Him, and always speak the truth. He will direct you to do righteous deeds and will forgive you your sins. And whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, has indeed achieved a great achievement." [Al-Ahzaab: 70-71]
In their desire to appear more liberal to the West, the Islamic opposition lost the confidence of ordinary Egyptians, many of whom increasingly saw hypocrisy in their actions and began to turn away from them. Ordinary Muslims were not the only ones who were disappointed. The rank and file of these movements, especially the young, challenged the stance adopted by their leaders. They found it very difficult to digest Islam's domination by Taghoot. Allah says:
"Have you seen those who claim to believe in the revelation revealed to you and the revelation revealed earlier? They seek the ruling of taghoot (non-Islam) although they have been ordered to disbelieve in it." [TMQ An-Nisa: 60].
However, what made matters worse for the Islamic opposition was their blind adherence to the democratic election process while remaining silent on the actions of SCAF. Islamic parties in Egypt must understand that it is impossible to bring Islam through either participation or negotiations with the systems of Kufr. Our modern history is replete with examples where Islamic parties have failed miserably to bring about Islam through engagement with Kufr. The dismissal of the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) in Algeria in 1991 and the exploitation of the Mutahiddah Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) by Musharraf in 2002 are two such striking examples.
The only way for Muslims of Egypt to escape from the tyranny of the West and the rule of their agents is through the re-establishment of the Islamic state. Islamic parties must join forces with Muslims of Egypt and collaborate with sincere officers in the Egyptian army to re-establish Khliafah Rashida by giving baya to the Khaleefah who will rule according to the Quran and Sunnah.
"Verily, Allah will help those who help His (cause)." [Al-Hajj: 40]
