Press Release
Tokyo I to Tokyo II; a New Look from Occupation to Colonialism
(Translated)

The series of national and regional conferences begun at the dawn of the Afghanistan occupation. For the second time, it is Tokyo's turn. Today, 8th of July 2012, Tokyo is hosting an international conference called "Tokyo II International Conference" in which authorities from 70 major donor countries will gather to contribute to the colonialists under the slogan " Donation for Afghanistan's reconstruction beyond 2014".

Holding such conferences on the issues of the Islamic Ummah is aimed to drawing colonialist maps for the Ummah including the political and economic aspects of their life, and nothing else. This is one of the very useful methods for the capitalistic system to impose its foreign policy and to spoil public opinion and to distract them from focusing on the real solution to their problems i.e. "establishing the Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate"". They therefore call it "donation" instead of colonialist economic programs. But if we look at the price of these donations, we can easily find that during the last 11 years, murdering innocent civilians, assaulting the glorious Islam, increasing of poverty, unemployment, immorality, oppression and looting has been the hallmark of the democratic system. Unsurprisingly, according to their own organizations' statistical reports, more than 70% of the Afghanistan people live below the poverty line. Furthermore, the increasing number of beggars on the roads of Kabul and other provinces' are undeniable facts that prove the above claim.

In addition, the planned withdrawal of the NATO troops in 2014 is another key issue in this conference which is called the turning point in Afghanistan's history. But there are many factors including Afghans' Jihad against the colonialists, western economic crisis, military budget reduction, national defense and the current year's elections, that made the US not to withdraw as they did from Iraq, rather it will change the nature of its existence in the region. As this was indicated by the United States Secretary of Defense that; in the years ahead the US will focus on Asia, specially the lands around the Pacific Ocean. Yet there are still 16000 troops in Iraq in the US embassy. And beside that, there are still many active American military bases all around Iraq. They will do the same in Afghanistan, as they will reduce their troops in number very abruptly, and keep a limited number of troops besides their political envoys, who don't fight directly, but of course arrange the Muslims to fight the Islamic Ummah. They will stay here to obtain their colonialist goals, whether it is their influence into Russia and China, or the broadening of their control over the Eurasian region, or their looting of the resources of Islamic Ummah's and the hindrance of the rise of the Khilafah "Caliphate" State in the region.

O Muslims of Afghanistan!

As Allah SWT has apparently forbidden us from building friendship (al-wala) with Kuffar, it is also decreed for us by our Prophet Mohammad SAW that accepting donations from the Kuffar under their own banners is totally Haram. Therefore, instead of asking donations and aids from the West, ask these from the Creator of the West and Muslims and strive day and night to establish the Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" which is based on the Sharia law and divine system, and is truly the only solution for all problems in Muslim world. You are the part of the Muslim Ummah, who has triumphantly come out of all political, economic and military austerities. You've always chosen the right way, except a number of tyrants, and of course through the pure Jihad in Allah SWT's way, you have proven your loyalty to your Lord. You hence must not be beguiled by these western deceptions, because Allah SWT is the only One who grants the predominance of this Ummah over the others and truly He is the one who honors and disgraces anyone he wants.

( إِنَّ الَّذِینَ كَفَرُواْ ینفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ لِیصُدُّواْ عَن سَبِیلِ اللّهِ فَسَینفِقُونَهَا ثُمَّ تَكُونُ عَلَیهِمْ حَسْرَةً ثُمَّ یغْلَبُونَ وَالَّذِینَ كَفَرُواْ إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ یحْشَرُونَ )

"Verily, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder (men) from the Path of Allâh, and so will they continue to spend it; but in the end it will become an anguish for them. Then they will be defeated. And those who disbelieve will be gathered unto Hell." (Surah Anfal, 36)
