Press Release
America and the world do not care about the blood of Muslims and the killing of civilians by explosive barrels!
(Translated)

Since August 2012, when barrel bombs were first used by the murderous regime of Bashar Al Assad, from that time tools of death and destruction carried by these barrels has been rained down upon civilians. Barrel bombs are cheap compared to other bombs and rockets, and easy weapons of terror for government forces, and are simply thrown out of helicopters to cause indiscriminate terror and death to civilian populations below. It is estimated that 6000 barrel bombs have been used in Syria causing the deaths of more than 20,000 people.

It seems that Resolution No. 2139 issued by the Security Council of the United Nations on February 22, 2014, which banned such weapons, does not actually follow in order to implement it and the mouthpieces say that this license to continue to use it only increased Bashar's regime thirst for shedding the blood of Muslims in Syria and the use of these barrels increased and expanded to extend to other regions.  In Aleppo alone, Human Rights Watch identified 650 strikes between the passing of the resolution and July 14 2014. However, the U.S. and European governments have been highly selective in manipulating the reports of  ‘war crimes' committed by some groups, while showing little interest in the larger and systematic atrocities committed by their agents and still continue to perpetuate crimes. This suspicious silence has encouraged the sectarian regime in Iraq to follow the same example in Syria, by beginning to use explosive barrels on a large scale in various parts of Iraq from Fallujah to al-Karmath to Tikrit to Baiji to Mosul.

This blatant hypocrisy by the leaders of the United States and Europe represented in their silence regarding the massacres of Muslims by their agents in Syria and Iraq... And their unwavering support for the Jewish entity during its fierce punitive campaign against Gaza which scorched humans, trees and stones. All this proves without a doubt that these claims of concern for humanity and respect for human life and dignity are misleading claims and practices contrary to complete lies on the ground! Overall, they do not care about the rights of Muslims, their dignity nor their blood, and sometimes to find them condemning the infringement against some Muslims because it serves their interests, while at the same time turning a blind eye to the crimes of their agents and friends if it serves their interests... Thus, entities of death that were planted in the Islamic world serve to disperse the Muslims, and disperse their forces, and tear their country to entities and regions rivaling to facilitate themselves to plunder the wealth and control the capabilities; and most importantly, to impede or delay the establishment of the second Rightly Guided Khilafah "Caliphate" on the method of the Prophethood.... A Khilafah "Caliphate" which will expose all their lies and plots and shut their mouths and restrain their counterfeit claims of being guardians of truth, goodness, justice, and decency in the world that they have hitherto filled with violence and corruption of others. However, all these attempts failed blatantly, whereas we, in Hizb ut Tahrir, are certain that the Islamic Ummah around the globe is ready to assume the management of the new world order once again, and that is not beyond Allah.

(يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِؤُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ * هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ)

"It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion, although those who associate others with Allah dislike it. * O you who have believed, shall I guide you to a transaction that will save you from a painful punishment." [As-Saff: 9-10]
