Press Release
Beware, Beware Oh Muslims of Assad's Plan to Fragment Syria!
(Translated)

According to sources in the Kurdish Democratic Union Party on Thursday 18 July, that the formation of a Syrian Kurdistan, Western Kurdistan, is imminent, and that the head of the Democratic Union Party Saleh Mohammad Muslim is scheduled to preside over the government. On the other hand, the official spokesman of the People's Council of West Kurdistan, Shirzad Adil al-Yazidi, stated some time ago to the Middle East Newspaper based on a proposal from the People's Council of West Kurdistan, preparations are under way to organize parliamentary elections, ensuing formation of a local government to manage the affairs of the Kurdish areas in Syria! This news came one day after the rebels were expelled by the Kurdish fighters of the entire Ras Al-Ain city bordering Turkey on Wednesday 17th of July.

Pushing the fighters of the Democratic Union Party to confront their rebelling brothers is a malicious satanic plan, and the talk about political leaders' intention to form a Syrian Kurdistan government is even more malicious. The Bashar regime is a regime that is drowning in the waves of the revolution from all sides, it almost fell a resounding fall if it were not for the support of the Iranian regime and its party in Lebanon extending its numbered days. The Assad regime, in such a plight, is examining all means, lest it grants him survival and salvation when America finishes grooming an agent to replace an agent! The Assad regime meanwhile does not hesitate in committing the most malicious of afflictions and the most horrible of crimes. However,

(سَيُصِيبُ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا صَغَارٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَعَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَمْكُرُونَ)

"Soon will the wicked be overtaken by humiliation before Allah, and a severe punishment, for all their plots." [Al-An'am:124]

O Muslims, Kurds and Arabs,

Islam has guided humanity to a Aqeedah of Iman melting in its pot all kinds of nationalities and affiliations, bringing together in its spaciousness brotherhood the black and white, Arabs and non-Arabs, establishing between them the measure of justice and equality, the noble Prophet (saw) said, on the authority of Ahmad from Abi Nadra,

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، أَلَا إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ وَاحِدٌ، وَإِنَّ أَبَاكُمْ وَاحِدٌ، أَلَا لَا فَضْلَ لِعَرَبِيٍّ عَلَى عَجَمِيٍّ، وَلَا لِعَجَمِيٍّ عَلَى عَرَبِيٍّ، وَلَا أَحْمَرَ عَلَى أَسْوَدَ، وَلَا أَسْوَدَ عَلَى أَحْمَرَ، إِلَّا بِالتَّقْوَى

"O people! Verily, your Lord is one and your father is one. All of you belong to one ancestry of Adam and Adam was created out of clay. There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab and for a non-Arab over an Arab; nor for white over the black nor for the black over the white except in piety. Verily, the noblest among you is he who is the most pious."

So beware! Beware of falling into America's trap and its agent Bashar who seek to fragment your country, dissipating your unity and dispersing your word! So discard away all types of Assabiyyah (tribalism) and all calls of Jahilliyah (Period of Ignorance) which eventually cause destruction in the Dunya and necessitate torment in the Hereafter.

We in Hizb ut Tahrir call unto you to be slaves of Allah, brothers to one another... and to work with us with seriousness and sincerity for the establishment of the righteous Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" state, for it is the Dawah of your Prophet, and in it is the pleasure of your Lord... The Khilafah "Caliphate" is what will free Syria from the terrorism of Assad and his regime, and from the hegemony of America and the West!

(إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ)

"Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you." [al-Hujarat: 13]
