Wretched Rulers of Afghanistan and Pakistan for the Sake of their American masters Fan Flames of Hatred Clash over Torkham Border, Durand Line

On 14 June 2016 US State Department spokesman John Kirby said at a press briefing “We are all watching the tensions very closely,” i.e between Afghanistan and Pakistan on the borders.

To the aware Muslim, it is neither a surprise that the US is watching the border tensions closely, nor that its officials are in contact with both sides. In fact, under guidance of their masters in Washington, the US agents within the Raheel-Nawaz regime, on one side of the Durand Line, and the Ashraf Ghani regime on the other, are fighting a war of words, with occasional physical clashes, to ensure the success of the US divide and rule plan for both countries. Pitting Muslims against Muslims and dividing their strength only benefits the dominant colonialist power today, which has eyes on the huge mineral wealth of Afghanistan amongst its many treasures.

So that the American Neo-Colonialist of today does not meet the same fate as the British Imperialist and Soviet Russian of yesterday, under the guise of cross border management and border control, both the Pakistani and Afghan regimes will now act as a protective barrier for the US military footprint in Afghanistan. These lowly traitors are shielding the American crusaders from the fierce Muslim tribal resistance from either side of the border, which has prevented the US troops from settling, for their lack of bravery has neither been compensated by their strength in arms nor their long years of trying.

Moreover, this division of Muslims allows the rise of India as the dominant regional power, according to the US plan for the region, which represents even more danger for all Muslims. It has not escaped the notice of the one who cares for the affairs of the Muslims, that India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, opened Afghanistan’s new parliament building in December 2015 and then on 4 June 2016 inaugurated a restored dam near the western city of Herat. And India financed both structures! Also in May 2016, Modi and Ghani stood together, alongside Hassan Rohani, Iran’s president, to strike a partnership to develop Iran’s Chabahar port which will compete with Pakistan’s China-backed port in Gwadar, just 170km east of Chabahar. So fanning nationalistic passions within Pakistan will only create a negative Afghan nationalism which is anti-Pakistan and pro-India, resulting in increasing Indian influence in Afghanistan and reducing feelings of brotherhood.

The division of Muslim Lands has benefitted only their enemies and represents a lost opportunity to strengthen the Muslims through their collective pooled resources, which are considerable and the envy of the world and regional powers today. Pakistani and Afghan rulers are fanning the flames of nationalism so brothers fight each other and the focus of the Muslims of the region shifts away from American presence. Muslims will always suffer by succumbing to the poisonous division tactics of Washington and its stooges in the Muslim World, weakening themselves before their enemies by abandoning the command of Islam to unify as one Ummah and one state under a Khaleefah Rashid.

Allah (swt) said, [إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَة] “Indeed, the Believers are but one brotherhood.” [Surah al-Hujarat 49:10] and RasulAllah (saaw) warned us of weakening ourselves before our enemies through abandoning Islam,

«يُوشِكُ الأُمَمُ أنْ تَدَاعَى عَليْكُم كَمَا تَدَاعَى الأكَلَةُ إلَى قَصْعَتِهَا»، فقالَ قَائِلٌ: وَمِنْ قِلّةٍ نَحْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ قالَ: «بَلْ أنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ كَثِيرٌ، وَلَكِنّكُمْ غُثَاءُ كَغُثَاءِ السّيْلِ، وَلَيَنْزِعَنّ اللّهُ مِنْ صُدُورِ عَدُوكُمْ المَهَابَةَ مِنْكُمْ، وَلَيَقْذِفَنّ اللّهُ في قُلُوبِكُم الَوَهْنَ»، فقالَ قَائِلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ الله وَمَا الْوَهْنُ؟ قالَ: «حُبّ الدّنْيَا وَكَرَاهِيَةُ المَوْتِ»

“The nations will fall upon you, inviting others just like the guests invited to a meal.” They asked, “Will we be few in numbers on that day?” He (saw) replied, “No you will be many, but you will be like the froth on the waters. Allah will remove fear of you from the hearts of your enemies and He will cast Wahan in your hearts.” They asked, “What is Wahan, O RasulAllah?” He (saw) replied, “Love of life and fear of death.” [Abu Daud]

Thus, Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan calls upon the officers of Pakistan's armed forces to end the mischief of the traitors by granting the Nussrah (Material Support) for the immediate restoration of the Khilafah "Caliphate" (Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood, so ending the raging fire of disunity and gathering the Muslims as one hand against their oppressors. Allah (swt) said,

[وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنْتُمْ أَعْدَاءً فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُمْ بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَانًا وَكُنْتُمْ عَلَىٰ شَفَا حُفْرَةٍ مِنَ النَّارِ فَأَنْقَذَكُمْ مِنْهَا كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ آيَاتِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ]

“And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided.” [Surah Aali Imran 3:103]
