Press Release
The Hypocrite U.S. Congress Maintains Drone Attacks What about the Thousands of Muslims who Participate with America in the Killings?
(Translated)

The Republicans and Democrats, members of the House of Judiciary Committee, in Washington, have expressed concern over the drone attacks launched by the United States on the people who carry U.S. citizenship.  This was unveiled the beginning of last month; which the "White Paper" issued by the U.S. Department of Justice to Congress surfaced. It mentioned the confidential memo giving authority to the U.S. President to kill American people who are considered a threat to U.S. security.

What about the direct targeting of unarmed civilians conducted by the U.S. military in Afghanistan and Iraq?  What about the destruction of their homes and demolition of their country used by weapons and ammunition that perishes trees and stones?  How about the Islamic figures and scholars that have been killed by American organized gangs specialized to kill people in the Muslim countries and Syria?  What about the thousands of Muslims killed by the hidden and public support of America in Syria, Palestine, Kashmir, Chechnya, and others? Is their bloodshed worth nothing?!

The bloodshed from the cowboy American civilization, that falsely raises the slogans of freedom, with the image of the Statue of Liberty on the shores of New York cannot claim it was not them who carried out this bloodshed. Didn't the bloody cowboy civilization pave the way for a war with the Native American Indians, did history not witness when European colonists arrived?  This same civilization was not able to use its constitutional rights towards its American citizens when they abducted the Japanese- Americans from their homes and threw them in detainment camps during the Second World War.  The American government's criminal terrorist record is filled with inhumane scandals; have the people forgotten about prisoners tortured in Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, and Bagram? What about the secret prisons that were established and managed by the American CIA in more than 54 countries?

Oh Muslims, especially the secularists desperate for the Western civilization; the American and European.  Is it not time after you have witnessed the hypocritical and disgraced signs to reject the West and all what emerges from its evil sins, from the first capitalistic materialistic impurity, that does not have any standards of right and justice?  Shouldn't you be aware of the colonial West's politics, which aims to enslave you after it could not dismantle you? How it was also implemented upon the Native American Indians and the millions of Negroes taken as prisoners from Africa?

The equality, security, and peace are only attained with Allah's (swt) Shariah that balances the heavens and the earth;

(وَلاَ يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ أَن صَدُّوكُمْ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ أَن تَعْتَدُواْ وَتَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى الْبرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى وَلاَ تَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى الإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَاتَّقُواْ اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ)

"and let not the hatred of some people In (once) shutting you out of the sacred Mosque lead you to transgression (and hostility on your part). help ye one another In righteousness and piety, but help ye not one another In sin and rancour: fear Allah. for Allah is strict In punishment." [Al-Maida: 2]

We invite you to work with Hizb ut Tahrir to establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" that will attain justice, security, and protection.  The Khilafah "Caliphate" will be restored to its Islamic Ummah as it was the best Ummah enjoining the Khair and forbidding the Munkar, and believes in Allah...

(وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا الْمُرْسَلِينَ *إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ الْمَنصُورُونَ * وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ)

"Already has Our word been passed before (this) to Our servants sent (by Us), * That They would certainly be assisted * And that Our forces, They surely must conquer." [As-Saffat: 171-3]
