A delegation from Hizb ut Tahrir Australia this morning visited the Bangladesh High Commission in Canberra to meet with the High Commissioner in relation to continuing imprisonment and torture of Hizb ut Tahrir members and activists in Bangladesh. Given the absence of the High Commissioner and his deputy, the delegation was received by an embassy officer, Musharraf Hussain, who listened to the delegation and said that he would bring the matter up with the High Commissioner.
London, UK, September 23rd 2011 - In his first speech to the United Nations General Assembly, David Cameron argued for continued colonial interventions across the world but Britain's continued support and arming of brutal dictators in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere exposes the dishonesty of his claims that intervention are for humanitarian reasons .
In May this year, it was revealed that Britain was training Saudi Arabia's National Guard - the elite security force that was used to crush the anti-regime protests in Bahrain earlier this year resulting in the murder of unarmed protesters and the arrest and torture of political opponents.
Commenting on the ‘Cameron doctrine', Taji Mustafa, media representative of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Britain, said: "The hypocrisy and duplicity of the British government is breathtaking. With one face Cameron preaches pious platitudes about intervening for humanitarian reasons, and gives Western powers a pat on the back for intervening against the UK's former ally Gaddafi [who was being sold British weapons as late as February this year]. With the other, the UK continues to support and arm butchers in Bahrain - and elsewhere - and justifies the double standards with vague words like ‘the situation in different countries is different.'"
"Just as Blair outlined his ‘liberal interventionism' in Chicago and the subsequent brutal invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, yesterday in New York, Cameron outlined his doctrine citing Libya as a justification. He argued for armed interventions to stop governments killing their own people but conveniently failed to mention Bahrain, whose crown prince he welcomed to Downing street in May 2011, and to whom the UK supplied ‘crowd control ammunition'."
"None of us expect an imminent UK sponsored attack on Israel or Zimbabwe, nor is the UK going to stop selling arms to Saudi Arabia and other brutal regimes. This proves that western governments intervene not for some ‘humanitarian' ideal, but to pursue political, economic and ideological agendas."
"The governments of Britain and America talk strongly about democracy and human rights in regions where it suits them, but maintain the status quo when it suits them."
"Much of his speech was focused on North Africa and the Middle East and Cameron again attacked the idea of an Islamic caliphate saying ‘people aren't in Tahrir Square in Cairo and Freedom Square in Libya for an Islamist caliphate' - omitting the fact that nearly a million people gathered in Tahrir Square a few weeks ago calling for Shari'ah."
"Western leaders fear a loss of control, knowing that the only way the region will be truly independent from western colonial interference is when the corrupt and tyrannical regimes they back are replaced by a new system - the Caliphate, which will stand up to western imperialism in all its forms, and look out for the interests of the people."

Hizb ut-Tahrir organized protest meetings outside various mosques today in Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet against US naval exercise in the Bay of Bengal. Last Sunday (19 September, 2011) the US Navy begun its eight day long security exercise termed ‘CARAT' (Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training). The speakers at the protest meetings said that the United States is an enemy state and called upon the Muslims to raise their voice against US domination over the Muslim Army of Bangladesh. America considers Bangladesh's strategic location as vital to her regional plan. This naval exercise and other so-called security cooperation are nothing less than a malicious design by America to subjugate the Muslims so that she can implement her strategic design for the region. Here is what Moriarty said in a cable to Washington on 19 January, 2010: "Increasing Bangladesh's naval capabilities and US Navy-Bangladesh Navy interoperability for joint operations is a key US goal. Improving Bangladesh's maritime domain awareness and interoperability will enhance US ability to secure freedom of navigation in the strategic sea lines of communication within the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal."
On top of that we are witnessing how America is relentless in her crusade against the rise of Islam in the world including this region. Thus American presence in the region is part of her design to delay the re-establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" in Bangladesh, Pakistan or Indonesia where the call for Khilafah "Caliphate" by Hizb ut-Tahrir has gained strong support among the people and the party is close to achieving its goal. America knows very well that the return of the Khilafah "Caliphate" would be the beginning of her end - the end of her crusade against the Muslims and her dominion in the world.
The speakers called upon the Muslims to protest against the government's subservience to America; and to work for the re-establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate". They urged the people of power to refuse to cooperate with the colonialist political and military officials. If the American enemy is not stopped immediately and decisively she will achieve an upper hand and inflict great harm upon the Ummah. Allah (SWT) warned the Muslims,
"Should they gain the upper hand over you, they would behave to you as enemies, and stretch forth their hands and their tongues against you with evil, and they desire that you should disbelieve." [TMQ Surah Al-Mumtahanah: 2]

The current GOB resorted to a policy of brutal repression against Hizb ut-Tahrir since February, 2009, when the party exposed Sheikh Hasina and her government's collaboration in the massacre of officers of the Muslim Army of Bangladesh. Up till now hundreds of party members and activists, along with the party's official spokesman, Mohiuddin Ahmed, have been imprisoned under false cases. They are denied bail despite fulfilling all legal requirements.
After the collapse of Soviet Union and the end of Afghan war, the geopolitical scenario in Eurasia, especially in South and Central Asia changed. The new Islamic states in Central Asia provided new lucrative economic incentives. Pakistan had become a nuclear power. Its armed forces and intelligence agencies, particularly Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had become too powerful and influential in the region. ISI's influence was spread in Indian Punjab, Kashmir and all the way to SAARC countries; whilst Afghanistan was its backyard. China was the next emerging threat in Eurasia which needed containment. China has decades old ties with Pakistan and there is favorable public opinion, both in the masses and military. Thus it was difficult for the US to overtly use Pakistan against China.
As part of a new Great Game, America has needed to forge ‘strategic partnership' with India and use Pakistan and India as a block against China. For this to happen it was necessary to put India at ease vis-a-vis her western borders with Pakistan and its engagement in Kashmir. America knew that India could never pose a threat to China if her forces are divided on two fronts. Hence, it has become imperative for the US to weaken Pakistani armed forces by dividing it on two fronts, as well as forcing Pakistan to normalize relationship with India, so that India could focus unilaterally towards China, a country that India has fought in war and has disputes with.
The traitor rulers in the military leadership weakened Pakistan's armed forces by pushing it into war with its foreign policy assets i.e. the Jihadis and Tribals. Also to contain Pakistan's regional power which she exercised through its strong and professional intelligence agencies, it was necessary to clamp down on the ISI and make it inward looking by forcing it to concentrate on Jihadies and sincere politicians. Using 9-11 as a cover, US entered the region and was able to reverse the Kashmir and Afghan policy as well as weaken Pakistan through engineering ‘controlled chaos' using Blackwater, CIA and her agents in the political and military leadership. This is in addition to the traitor rulers leaving the people in neglect as they face a variety of crises that could be averted by a sincere leadership and the Islamic system, such as the electricity crisis, sugar crisis, floods and many others.
The other reason to weaken Pakistan is that Pakistan had become too strong during the time of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. The call for Jihad and implementation of Islam was the talk of the town which US calls "radicalization" of the Pakistani society. In such a scenario, it became necessary for the US to block the possibility of emergence of the Islamic State i.e. Khilafah "Caliphate", which would disturb the balance in Eurasia and pose an ideological challenge to US interests in the whole world. For this very purpose, a strong Muslim state with a "radicalized" population was very dangerous of US interest. This not only required secularizing the Pakistani society, but also weakening the state of Pakistan considerably, so that a strong Khilafah "Caliphate" could not emerge from it.
US policy advisor George Friedman alludes to this matter in his book "The Next 100 Years." He writes, "the goal of these interventions [Iraq and Afghanistan] was never to achieve something-whatever the political rhetoric might have said-but to prevent something. The United States wanted to prevent stability in areas where another power might emerge. Its goal was not to stabilize, but to destabilize. And that explains how the United States responded to the Islamic earthquake-it wanted to prevent a large, powerful Islamic state from emerging". [page 46] He further writes: "the first line of defense against Islamic radicals will be the Muslim states themselves"... "they [the Muslim rulers] will use their national power-their intelligence, security, and military capabilities" to crush these radicals... "An Islamic world in chaos, incapable of uniting, means the United States has achieved its strategic goal"... "So long as the Muslims are fighting each other, the United States has won its war". [page 49]. And this is exactly what the US agents of the likes of Kayani, Pasha and Zardari are doing i.e. crushing anybody calling for Islam and making Muslims fight Muslims.
Before there is further weakening of Pakistan and extension of the American plan, the Muslims must establish the Khilafah "Caliphate". It is the Khilafah "Caliphate" alone that will rally the Muslims on the basis of Islam. It will sever the hands of the American influence in the country. It will close enemy embassies and bases and expel the military and intelligence. It will work for the unification of the Muslim World. It will reach out to non-belligerent Muslim countries in order to gain them to Islam. By doing so, the Khilafah "Caliphate" will ensure the supremacy of Islam and the failure of Kufr. And the practical step is for the sincere officers in Pakistan's armed forces to respond to the demand of the Ummah and grant the Nussrah to its party, Hizb ut-Tahrir, for the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate".

IMF fears time to fix financial system is running out
The International Monetary Fund fired another shot across the bow of the global economy on Wednesday, warning that there's not much time left to fix the crippled financial system. It said political fighting is hampering efforts to restore economic stability and reckoned up to €300bn (£263bn) could be lost by banks as a result of the eurozone debt crisis. Worryingly, the agency said markets have lost faith in political leaders to provide a lasting solution to the economic problems in the eurozone and the US. The "political weakness" comes as market turbulence from the eurozone, a credit rating downgrade for the US and signs of a global economic slowdown shocked the global financial system, the IMF said. Elsewhere, the IMF estimated that the sovereign debt crisis in Europe had added €300bn (£261.9bn) to the risk exposure of banks in the European Union. The IMF is holding its annual meeting at the end of this week in Washington DC. The meeting brings together finance ministers and central bankers from around the world.
No matter how hard the West tries to save its global financial system, the writing is on the wall for capitalism. What he world requires is not more of the same bitter medicine, but a new financial system based on the gold standard, with clear ownership rights for contracts, and where public property is protected and used for the benefit of the people. This can only be achieved through implementing Shariah via the Caliphate.
Turkey follows the West and considers sanctions against Syria
High quality global journalism requires investment. Please share this article with others using the link below, do not cut & paste the article. Turkey is preparing the way for possible sanctions on its neighbour Syria, in a move likely to increase the pressure on President Bashar al-Assad to step down. In comments to journalists in New York on Tuesday night, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish prime minister, said the imposition of fresh sanctions by Ankara - on top of the US and EU measures already in place - was now being discussed with Washington. "Our foreign ministers will together review what our sanctions might be," said Mr Erdogan, adding that he would soon visit Syrian refugee camps in Turkey's Hatay province. The moves reflect Ankara's mounting concern at Syria's crackdown on pro-democracy activists, and also shift Turkey's policy much closer to that of the US, which has championed sanctions for months. Ankara is one of Syria's biggest trading partners and bilateral trade has soared as ties have improved, with Turkish exports to Damascus reaching a value of $1.64bn last year, compared with Syrian sales to Turkey worth $630m.
Rather than sending in Turkish soldiers to protect Syrians from Assad's regime, Erdogan is considering sanctions, which will only effect the Syria's beleaguered population. Furthermore, it will give more time for Assad to carry out his brutal oppression.
America building secret drone bases in Africa and Arabia to fight Islam
The Obama administration is assembling a constellation of secret drone bases for counterterrorism operations in the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula as part of a newly aggressive campaign to attack al-Qaeda affiliates in Somalia and Yemen, U.S. officials said. One of the installations is being established in Ethiopia, a U.S. ally in the fight against al-Shabab, the Somali militant group that controls much of the country. Another base is in the Seychelles, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, where a small fleet of "hunter killer" drones resumed operations this month after an experimental mission demonstrated that the unmanned aircraft could effectively patrol Somali territory from there. The U.S. military also has flown drones over Somalia and Yemen from bases in Djibouti, a tiny African nation at the junction of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. In addition, the CIA is building a secret airstrip in the Arabian Peninsula so it can deploy armed drones over Yemen. The rapid expansion of the undeclared drone wars is a reflection of the growing alarm with which U.S. officials view the activities of al-Qaeda affiliates in Yemen and Somalia, even as al-Qaeda's core leadership in Pakistan has been weakened by U.S. counterterrorism operations.
If it was not for the agent rulers of the Muslim world, America would not be able to use the assets of the Muslim ummah against her. By allowing the US to use airbases, waterways and the ummah's resources, the agent rulers have hidden America's true weakness from the people.
Kyrgyz protesters demand hijab to be allowed in schools
Protestors have demonstrated in front of the Kyrgyz Education Ministry to demand that Islamic head scarves be allowed in secondary schools, RFE/RL's Kyrgyz Service reports. Education Minister Kanat Sadykov later held talks with several representatives of the protesters in Bishkek, but the results of those meetings were not made public. Protest organizer Duishon Abdyldaev, told RFE/RL that demonstrations will spread to other parts of the country on September 23 if girls wearing hijabs continue to be expelled or kept from attending classes at secondary schools. On September 15, Kanatbek Turdukojoev, an imam in the northern village of Orto-Oruktu, filed a lawsuit against a secondary school for not allowing his daughter to wear an Islamic head scarf. Jamal Frontbek-Kyzy said female students who wear the Islamic head scarf are being discriminated against. Frontbek-Kyzy said when the school year began on September 1st many female Muslims were either forced to remove their head scarves at school or were sent home if they refused to take them off.
America accuses Pakistan of attacking US targets
US officials say there is mounting evidence that Pakistan's chief intelligence agency has been encouraging a Pakistan-based militant network to attack US targets. The allegations, if fully confirmed, heighten a painful dilemma for President Barack Obama's administration. Washington is under growing political pressure to take action against the Haqqani network after a spate of deadly attacks US officials have attributed to it. These include last week's strike againstthe American Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. Some US intelligence reporting alleges that Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence directorate (ISI) specifically directed, or urged, the Haqqani network to carry out the September 13 attack on the embassy and a NATO headquarters in Kabul, according two US officials and a source familiar with recent US-Pakistan official contacts. However, officials cautioned that this information is uncorroborated. Another US official familiar with internal government assessments said that at the very least, the available intelligence strongly suggests the ISI has been egging on elements of the Haqqani network to launch attacks at American targets in the region. While American officials have aired allegations of ties between the ISI and the Haqqani network in recent days, they have not publicly cited evidence that the Pakistani agency, or elements of it, urged its proxy to attack US targets.
The time has come for Muslims of Pakistan to demand that the army leadership of Pakistan severs its relations with America that seeks to destroy Pakistan. Allah says in the "Oh you who believe (in this Qur'an), do not take (such) Jews and Christians as friends and allies who themselves are friends and allies of each other. And whoever of you (Muslims) turn to them (with friendship and alliance) becomes, verily, one of them; behold, Allah does not guide such evildoers." (TMQ:Qur'an, al-Maidah, 5:51)
