Press Release
O Panetta! The Ummah Lost Patience with America a Long Time Ago!

On 7 June 2012, the US Defence Secretary, Leon Panetta, expressed his frustration over Pakistan's frustration over America's crusade in Afghanistan and the tribal areas, saying, "We are reaching the limits of our patience." Washington and its puppet in Pakistan, Kayani, should know that the Ummah has lost patience with American oppression a long time ago and the Muslims of Pakistan are no exception.

With Kayani's connivance, Pakistan's armed forces, which is the most capable armed forces of the Ummah to stand in the face of America's brutal hegemony, has suffered immensely. Rather than standing with the Muslims of the tribal areas against America's illegitimate occupation of Afghanistan, Pakistan's armed forces have lost thousands of troops in a wasteful war of Fitna in the tribal areas. A war to secure America's cowardly troops who lose their minds when confronted by a handful of meagerly armed tribal Muslims. The losses incurred by the armed forces are in addition to those in false flag attacks, that the American agencies and private military organizations launched themselves against the armed forces, but blamed the tribal Muslims, in order to push the armed forces into the tribal areas. If this were not enough for Muslims to lose their patience, America has stretched Pakistan;s armed forces over three fronts. Firstly America pushed Pakistan's armed forces into the tribal areas. Secondly America opened Afghanistan to India so it can create havoc in Baluchistan, as well as the tribal areas. Thirdly, America asked Kayani and his small band of traitors to bow before India through normalization, encouraging India to increase its oppression in Kashmir. And if this were all not enough for Muslims to lose their patience, what of the billions of dollars of losses to Pakistan's economy and tens of thousands of civilian lives lost, through America's drone attacks and terrorist bomb blasts?

Indeed the Ummah has lost its patience with American injustice and now has arisen in a revolution against America, which is led for the moment by the brave Muslims of Syria who cry "الشعب يريد خلافة من جديد" "The people want a new Khilafah "Caliphate"." It now remains for officers of the Muslim armed forces around the world to turn the tide for Islam, by dusting off the small coterie of traitors that rest on their broad shoulders, as a man would dust off a fly. It remains for such officers to bless their mighty shoulders by granting the Nussrah to Hizb ut-Tahrir for the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate". And then Panetta and his friends will see what they dread to see. An Ummah honored and glorified by Islam, taking America to task for each and every one of its horrendous crimes against humanity.

[وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ]

"But honour, power and glory belong to Allâh, and to His Messenger (Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]), and to the believers, but the hypocrites know not." [Surah al-Munafiqoun 63:8].

We advise Panetta and his colonialist country to discard its brutal policies and plans against the Islamic Ummah, to confine its rotten ideology of "freedom" to the dustbin of history and embrace the noble, divine, alternative ideology, Islam, which is better for them, granting success in this world and the Hereafter. And should they refuse, they must take a lesson from their predecessors in false ideologies, the Romans, Persians and the Pharaohs

[أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَبَأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ فَذَاقُوا وَبَالَ أَمْرِهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ]

"Has not the news reached you of those who disbelieved aforetime And so they tasted the evil result of their disbelief, and theirs will be a painful torment." [Surah At-Taghubun 64:5]
