Press Release
As long as Afghanistan remains a US War Project, the Killing of Children cannot be Stopped

On the 11th June, media sources reported quoting Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission that Afghan children are not safe and that over six million of them are living in critical conditions, affected daily by the ravage of war. On Wednesday, 31st May, a huge bomb exploded in Kabul, capital of Afghanistan, killing and wounding over 500 people, including women and children.

Before this attack, at least 715 civilians had been killed in the first three months of the year. Between January and April 2017 alone the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) preliminarily recorded 987 children casualties (283 deaths and 704 injured), a 21 percent increase in child deaths compared to the same period in 2016 (more than 900 children were killed in the year 2016).

According to so called democratic values, “Children's rights are the human rights of children with particular attention to the rights of special protection and care afforded to minors.” However, when America invaded and colonialized this Muslim land, sowing death and destruction upon innocent men, women and children without distinction, they disregarded their false values for the sake of their political and economic interests.

Furthermore, successive western secular puppet regimes in Kabul have completely forsaken their duties to their people, concerned only with filling their own pockets with the wealth of the land and fulfilling the instructions of their western masters. America uses Afghanistan as their military base for their war projects and ultimately the real goal of America, with its 8400 troops in Afghanistan, its War on Terror, and implanting of western subservient regimes in the region, is to fight the resurgence of Islam across the Muslim world, and to destroy the Islamic identity of the Ummah, in order to prevent the re-establishment of the second Khilafah Rashidah (righteous Caliphate) which will put an end to their meddling and colonization of our lands and guarantee security and guardianship for all its citizens.

As long as the Ummah is not freed from the shackles of secularism and the clutches of the bloody hands of the colonialists, the situation in Afghanistan and other Muslim lands will continue to be one of bloodshed, destruction, poverty and utter misery. Only the Caliphate upon the Method of the Prophethood can bring the Islamic values comprehensively, which includes truly securing the real rights of children, as well as guaranteeing the protection of the whole Ummah.

(قَالَ اهْبِطَا مِنْهَا جَمِيعًا بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِّي هُدًى فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقَى * وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى)

“So there will surely come to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My guidance, he shall not go astray nor be unhappy. But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Qur'an nor acts on its orders, etc.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection.” [Ta-Ha: 123-124]
