Attack on Quetta Police Training College: Cut the Head of the Snake, End the Alliance with America

At least sixty police cadets and guards have been killed in an attack by militants on a heavily fortified police college in the Pakistani city of Quetta, in the constantly troubled province of Baluchistan. Hizb ut-Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan strongly condemn this brutal attack. Whilst the Muslims count their dead and nurse their injured, as usual there are fingers pointing in all directions but with no hope of resolution. Some fingers point at Islamic State (IS), others at Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and yet others are pointing at Indian intelligence RAW. As usual, there are visits to the injured in hospitals and promises of compensation and investigation with no sign of the tangible measures that need to be taken to cut the snake of Fitna from its head. And as usual there is talk about strategic shift and foreign policy review so as to align even more closely to US demands regarding its so-called War on Terror, with complete disregard for the Islamic rulings regarding the treatment of the belligerently hostile state.

In a bid to pacify angered Muslims, the regime on the one hand saw that there are foreign hands and masterminds, yet it continuously binds Pakistan tightly to relations with those hostile states. So on the one hand, it acknowledges that which is well known, that US intelligence has infiltrated local groups, inciting the ignorant amongst them to turn their weapons away from the crusaders who occupy Afghanistan or the Indian slaughtering the Muslims of Kashmir day and night, onto their own Muslim brethren. Yet, on the other hand, the regime strengthens its ties with the US, making repeated reassurances of its commitment to the US demands. And on the one hand, it laments at the huge Indian presence in Afghanistan that the US extended it, which is used as a launching pad for attacks within Pakistan. Yet, on the other hand, the regime calls for talks with India over Kashmir, restraint and normalization.

The affairs of the Muslims will continue to be untied and adrift until they are all anchored firmly to the Quran and the Sunnah. It is upon the Muslims of Pakistan to abandon alliance with the US and normalization with India by embracing the Khilafah project. Only then will the enemy be treated as an enemy and the Muslims will be secured from its harm. Only then will the reach of the enemy into our lands be cut decisively and the fires of Fitna put out for good. Allah سبحانه وتعالى said,

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ تُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ وَقَدْ كَفَرُوا بِمَا جَاءَكُمْ مِنْ الْحَقِّ

O you who believe! Choose not My enemies who are your enemies as friends showing them affection even when they disbelieve in that truth that has come to you”

(Surah Mumtahina 60:1)

And He said سبحانه وتعالى,

إِن يَثْقَفُوكُمْ يَكُونُواْ لَكُمْ أَعْدَآءً وَيَبْسُطُواْ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُمْ بِالسُّوءِ وَوَدُّواْ لَوْ تَكْفُرُونَ

Should they gain the upper hand over you, they would behave to you as enemies, and stretch forth their hands and their tongues against you with evil, and they desire that you should disbelieve”

(Surah Mumtahina 60:2)
