Press Release
Violation of a Mosque and Martyrdom of Seven Muslims in Occupied Kashmir
Organized Jihad through Pakistan's Armed Forces against India is Required, Not Alliance with the Hindu Thugs

On Wednesday night, Indian Border Security Forces tried to force entry into a mosque in Kohl, situated in the southern district of Occupied Kashmir, Ramdin. The Imam of the mosque heroically resisted the Hindu thugs and was martyred by them. The next day, when locals demonstrated against this outrageous crime, Hindu security forces opened fire on them as well, resulting in the martyrdom of six more Muslims, whilst dozens were injured.

Such regular atrocities against the Muslims of Occupied Kashmir is a source of grief and shame, when it occurs on the doorstep of a powerful Muslim state, with a population of more than 180 million people and the seventh largest armed forces in the world, equipped with nuclear missiles. India is only encouraged to oppress Muslims because the traitors in Pakistan's political and military leadership are not challenging India in any matter, as per the instruction of their masters in Washington. First the Musharraf-Aziz regime, then the Kayani-Zardari regime, and now the Kayani-Sharif regime are all towing the same American line. Whether India holds back our river water, or accuses us of attacks on the Indian Parliament or on the people of Mumbai, or treats the Muslims of Occupied Kashmir and India as third-class citizens, lower than their low-caste Hindu "Untouchables," martyring them as it pleases, Pakistan's oath-breakers never respond in a language that Hindus would understand.

It is a duty upon the Muslims of Pakistan and their armed forces to liberate Kashmir and its people from Indian aggression and occupation. The Kayani-Sharif regime touts are not only throwing this obligation behind their backs in order to please America, they are flattering, kneeling and prostrating before the Hindu state. Hindu hands are completely drenched in Muslim blood, they violate the honor of our mothers, sisters and daughters, yet we have been told that making economic and diplomatic alliances with such unjust, untrustworthy thugs is in our interest! Allah(swt) says:

[إِنَّمَا يَنْهَاكُمُ ٱللَّهُ عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ وَأَخْرَجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُواْ عَلَىٰ إِخْرَاجِكُمْ أَن تَوَلَّوْهُمْ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُمْ فَأُوْلَـٰئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّالِمُون]

"It is only as regards those who fought against you on account of Deen, and have driven you out of your homes, and helped to drive you out, that Allah forbids you to ally with them. And whosoever will befriend them, then such are the Oppressors." [Surah Al-Mumtahina 60:9]

O sincere officers of the Armed Forces! The Muslims of Kashmir, your brothers and sisters, are calling you for help. If a handful of Mujahideen of Afghanistan can bring the American forces, re-enforced by forces from around forty countries, to their knees, than you are more than able to fight the Hindu murderers and rapists. To be freely able to do your duty, you must remove the traitors in your leadership, who are chains of slavery to Washington, and provide the Nussrah (Support) to Hizb ut Tahrir, led by its Ameer, the eminent scholar, Sheikh Ata ibn Khalil Abu Ar-Rashtah for the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate". Only then will a Khaleefah Rashid prepare a magnificent force of Muslims, to liberate Kashmir and all occupied Muslims territories from the evil grasp of the Kuffar.
