Press Release
The Aqsa Women are still waiting for Al-Mutasim’s Chivalry in the Muslims’ Armies!!
(Translated)

The Ministry of Health of the Palestinian Authority announced the rising toll of the martyrs since the beginning of the events known as "Jerusalem’s Intifada" on the third of October, as of Monday morning 9/11/2015 as 80 martyrs and more than 6,000 wounded. According to statistics, children and women constituted a quarter of the number of martyrs, with 17 children killed. Among the martyrs were three young women: Bayan Asileh, Dania Arsheed, and Rasha Awaisi. Three women were also martyred, the eldest was Tharwat Ash-Sha’rawi, 72 years old, who was executed by the Jewish entity forces in cold blood on Friday afternoon on November 6th, in Al-Khalil (Hebron), who claimed that she carried out a run over operation.

The criminality of the Jewish entity surpassed all limits. It started to kill on the basis of suspicion and intentions, and it no longer differentiates between young or old, or between a young man and an old man, or between a woman and a man. Even infants suffered the criminality of this entity. The infant Ramadan Thawabteh (8 months old) was martyred due to suffocation with tear gas. What sin was committed by this baby and what offense was committed by the elderly woman to be executed in cold blood and to get shot at by 15 bullets?! What type of risk or threat did she pose to the Jewish criminal entity?!

This is asides from crimes and other abuses against women, children and unarmed civilians, such as the humiliating inspection and harassment at checkpoints, and violent arrests and pursuit, the demolition or sealing off of houses, and intimidation and scaremongering them in their homes day and night and other punitive, criminal, and brutal measures.

The blood of these female martyrs, indeed all the martyrs, and the distress calls of women each and every day is a trust on the necks of those in the Muslim Ummah, and upon the necks of their rulers and leaders of armies who watch the attacks of the Jewish entity and the herds of its settlers on the place of ascension of the Messenger of Allah (saw), and on the women, children and elderly, without being moved with chivalry like that of Al-Mutasim or (moved by the urge for their protection like Khalid or Saad or Salahuddin’s tears of grief and anguish at the state of the Ummah and its captive mosque!!

O people of power and protection, O commanders, officers and soldiers in the Muslim armies: After all the spillage of this pure blood, and lives lost, the violation of sanctities and honour, and homes destroyed, is it not time for you to move to support Allah and His believing slaves ?! Is it not time to answer the distress of the oppressed people of Palestine and other Muslim countries?

We called you before O officers, commanders and soldiers, and we renew our appeal to you as part of the campaign: "The Righteous Khilafah "Caliphate" is the Liberator of Al-Aqsa and the Protector of Its Women" launched by the Women's Section in the Central Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir in support of Al-Aqsa Mosque and Palestine and its women, children, elderly, and youth, so that you shake off the dust of dependence and humiliation from them so that they will be freed from the control of the criminal rulers, and give your support to Hizb ut Tahrir to establish the second righteous Khilafah "Caliphate" on the method of the Prophethood. It will ensure the safeguarding of honour and sanctities as it did before, and it is capable of stopping the crimes of the Jewish entity and will return Palestine to the embrace of the Islamic Ummah ... will you answer?!

((يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ ۖ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ))

“O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when He calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allah intervenes between a man and his heart and that to Him you will be gathered.” [Al-Anfal: 24]
