The Loya Jirga (Grand Traditional Meeting) is arranged under the guise of an advisory meeting (Shura) in order to sign the Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA) with the colonial crusaders.

This meeting is designed for complete animosity against Islam and the Muslim Ummah. We as the Islamic Ummah strongly condemn this action of the puppet government and present the following points based on Islamic Politics and looking after the affairs of the Ummah:

• Making a forbidden (Haram) action legal (Halal) is not allowed in Islam (Haram). Assistance from Kafir states who are in a state of war with the Islamic Ummah is also considered as illegal (Haram). Meanwhile, Strategic Pacts, Security Agreements and Financial Aids are instruments and tools that are used by the colonial states for national legitimization of their crimes and to provide a justification so that the political and historic responsibility falls on the shoulders of the so-called people’s representatives in the Jirga.

• Today it is as clear as the sun that the Mujahideen and the Muslim nation of Afghanistan is against signing the BSA with the colonial crusaders. However, the Afghan puppet government has tried to label the opposite figures as the agents of neighboring countries, e.g. Iran and Pakistan. As a result the puppet government has labeled the honest sons and those who struggle against the crusaders colonization as Iranian and Pakistani agents. Nonetheless Iran has played the puppet role in cases such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Pakistan is also busy serving the interests of their American master in Northern Waziristan and elsewhere. Therefore, the governments of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran are on the same table.

• The Mujahideen and Muslim nation of Afghanistan has always expressed their strongest hatred towards the puppet government and its so called Jirga’s, meetings, and so called representatives. Because based on the BSA and the strategic pacts, permanent influence of the enemy is ensured over our beloved Ummah and land. Allah سبحانه وتعالى has put Ashab-e-Kahf in a similar position and states their stance as:

إِنَّهُمْ إِن يَظْهَرُوا عَلَيْكُمْ يَرْجُمُوكُمْ أَوْ يُعِيدُوكُمْ فِي مِلَّتِهِمْ وَلَن تُفْلِحُوا إِذاً أَبَداً

“For if they find out about you they will stone you or make you revert to their religion and then you will never have success.'”

(Kahf: 20)

It is therefore upon the Mujahideen and Muslim nation of Afghanistan to stand against the traitors, tyrants and their Jirgas that suppress us and ensure the interests of their masters. It is upon the Muslims of Afghanistan to take the stand of Ashab-e-Kahf as an example in order to prevent further crimes and heinous acts of the crusaders that they implement through their ideology, and kill our people similar to what happened with Ashab-ul-Ukhdood.

• This illegitimate Jirga is participated by the so called Ulema, Jihadi leaders, Political opportunists, bloody capitalists and bribers who are all trying to deceive public opinion. They have sold their land, dignity, honor and ideology for nothing. We have seen this process starting from Bonn and ending with dozens of seminars, conferences, meetings and gatherings that never raised the standard of living of ordinary Afghans.

• Thus, Loya Jirga carries the same agenda as Dar-ul-Nadwa of Quraish did with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. It is therefore no different to Dar-ul-Nadwa, except that the participants of Dar-ul-Nadwa were all polytheists, while the participants of Loya Jirga are traitors and tyrants of the Muslims Ummah deceived by Modern Taghoot.

بَشِّرِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ بِأَنَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا الَّذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِن دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۚ أَيَبْتَغُونَ عِندَهُمُ الْعِزَّةَ فَإِنَّ الْعِزَّةَ لِلَّـهِ جَمِيعًا

“Give news to the hypocrites that they will have a painful punishment. Do those who take the disbelievers as protectors, rather than the believers, hope to find power and strength with them? Power and strength belong entirely to Allah.”

(an-Nissa: 138-9)
