Press Release
Pak-US Dialogue to Limit Tactical Weapons
America is the Enemy of Islam and Muslims and Negotiation on Defense Matters with it is Treachery

Richard Olson, the US Special Representative for Pakistan and Afghanistan, told the US House Foreign Affairs Committee on 16 December 2015 that, “We’ve had a very candid discussion with the Pakistanis about some of the concerns that we have, including about shorter-range nuclear systems. And Pakistan has been prepared to engage with us in those discussions”.

Is the Raheel-Nawaz regime not aware of America’s “friendship” with Pakistan? In the 1965 Pakistan-India War, America stopped the supply of arms to Pakistan. In 1971, America did not come to the aid of Pakistan, which resulted in the division of its state, despite the presence of a defense agreement. In the 1980’s, America used Pakistan against the Soviet Union and left Pakistan high and dry to face the fallouts of that adventure. In 1998, when India conducted nuclear explosions, America did not place any sanctions against India. It instead pressurized Pakistan not to conduct nuclear tests and then imposed sanctions when Pakistan went ahead. In November 2011, America attacked Salala checkpost and martyred dozens of our soldiers and in May 2011, it invaded and attacked Abbotabad, despite the fact that it had declared Pakistan a non-NATO ally. Can any sane person discuss the most sensitive defense issues with America, whilst knowing its character? Indeed, only traitors in the political and military leadership can ignore American animosity because America is their master.

America is an open enemy of Islam and Muslims, so discussing Pakistan’s defense capabilities with it is open treachery. It is a deception to claim that the regime will not back down from its position, because if that were really the case, then what would there be left to discuss? It is also not right that the regime announces publicly that we have developed short range nuclear tactical weapons to counter the Indian cold-start doctrine only, as it is providing a reason to the enemy to force our abandoning of a modern and sophisticated weapon system, because if tension between Pakistan and India comes to an end, then Pakistan would lose the reason for keeping tactical nuclear capability. Weapons are not made to use against only one enemy, rather they are made to use against any enemy. India is not the only enemy of Pakistan, as America is also its enemy. America dares to attack Pakistan only whilst there are traitors in the political and military leadership. However, when a sincere leadership is in place, then America will not even dream of attacking Pakistan.

The sincere officers in the armed forces have to stop this treachery and this can only be done by providing Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir for the establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate" upon the method of the Prophethood. Whilst this duty is not honored, then we will continue to suffer immensely as we have suffered whenever we have allowed a regime to depend on America. Allah (swt) says,

[يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوۤاْ إِنْ تُطِيعُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَلَىٰ أَعْقَابِكُمْ فَتَنْقَلِبُواْ خَاسِرِينَ]

“O you who believe! If you obey those who disbelieve, they will send you back on your heels, and you will turn back (from Faith) as losers” [Al-i-Imran: 149]
