Traitor rulers seek to purge Pakistan’s armed forces to protect America’s Raj
On 11 February 2012, several Pakistani newspapers and television channels carried news of the court martial proceedings of one of the most capable officers in the Pakistan Army, Brigadier Ali Khan, along with four other military officers. Brigadier Ali Khan is reported to have been detained after demanding that someone within the military leadership must be held accountable for America’s invasion of Pakistan and subsequent military assault on Abbotabad in May 2011.
The news reports added that this officer, of humble origins from Punjab province, had a distinguished thirty two year military career and was a gold medallist. Army officers who had served with Brigadier Ali Khan further stated that he had been exerting influence on the military leadership to stop the alliance with America in its crusade against the Muslims of the tribal areas and Afghanistan. Matters came to a head when he openly challenged the then Chief of Army Staff, General Musharraf, in the military’s prestigious Quetta Staff College as to why Musharraf did not make public the details of the alliance agreement with America. He further demanded the clear definition of the “limits” of alliance with America. With not a word of truth to defend himself, General Musharraf only a few weeks later, presided personally over the promotion board, and denied Brigadier Ali Khan’s expected promotion to Major General, such that at the time of his court martial proceedings Ali Khan was the oldest Brigadier in the Pakistan Army.
Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan wishes to raise the following points regarding the court martial proceedings against Brigadier Ali Khan:
Firstly, after America’s invasion in May 2011 of Abbotabad, the Corps Commanders met and according to the ISPR statement, PR108/2011-ISPR of 5 May 2011, “COAS made it very clear that any similar action, violating the sovereignty of Pakistan, will warrant a review on the level of military/ intelligence co-operation with the United States.” Yet, on 26 November 2011, American forces with NATO forces conducted a similar action, violating Pakistan’s airspace and martyring over two dozen Muslim soldiers. As for the promise for review, according to a news report on 7 February 2012, the current Chief of Army Staff, General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani, limited this to announcing the suspension of the supply lines through Pakistan for the NATO and American forces in Afghanistan. But on 9 February 2012 it was reported that the US ambassador, Cameron Munter, confirmed that Pakistan’s airspace was still being used to supply the Western forces. Is this in keeping to the decision to review the co-operation with America? Who really should be subject to court martial, the likes of Brigadier Ali Khan or the likes of General Kayani, we ask?
Secondly, after the November NATO attacks, Kayani announced to an enraged Pakistan armed forces that America’s drone attacks are to be ceased and the NATO supply line closed. We ask here, if Kayani was really so defiant of America, why did he not announce such “bold” measures immediately after the Abbotabad attacks? Or is it the case, he always could but wilfully did not, despite the consequence in terms of dozens of lives lost in the NATO attacks and thousands lost in drone attacks? Or was this all just to pull the wool over the eyes of the sincere in the armed forces, to cool their anger, so that America could continue to exploit Pakistan’s military and intelligence capabilities, uninterrupted and without review? So, who really should be subject to court martial, the likes of Brigadier Ali Khan or the likes of General Kayani, we ask again?
Thirdly, on 27 January 2011, the American intelligence operative, Raymond Davis, whilst collecting information for drone attacks, shot and killed two Pakistanis, whilst in possession of long range radio, GPS equipment and a catalogue of photographs of sensitive locations. Yet, with the approval of Director General of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), General Ahmed Shuja Pasha, Hussain Haqqani brokered a deal for the release of Raymond Davis, without any care for the evident plot against Pakistan’s security and sovereignty. And until today America’s intelligence officials have free reign in the country. We ask here, how many deaths of Muslims is Ali Khan responsible for? We ask which drone attacks did Ali Khan gather intelligence for? So, who really should be subject to court martial, the likes of Brigadier Ali Khan or the likes of General Pasha, we ask yet again?
Fourthly, the court martial proceedings against Brigadier Ali Khan are about the American policy within the Muslim Lands, as executed by traitors within the military leadership, of purging the Muslim armed forces of any sincere and capable officer who wants a strong and liberated Ummah. This policy is in place because America is concerned that matters will otherwise slip out of its hands as she seeks control of the Muslims through the Muslim armed forces. In an interview with the Washington Times on 24 November 2008, Army Maj. Gen. John M. Custer, commander of the U.S. Army Intelligence Centre at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, announced with regret that, “The older military leaders love us, they understand American culture, and they know we are not the enemy, but they are aging out of the force.” In the Washington Post in March 2009, David Kilcullen, who was adviser to then CENTCOM commander General, David H Petraeus, on America’s war, said “Pakistan has 173 million people, 100 nuclear weapons, an army bigger than the US Army … We’re now reaching the point where within one to six months we could see the collapse of the Pakistani state … an extremist takeover — that would dwarf everything we’ve seen in the war on terror today.” It is this American policy of purging those officers who are inclined to Islam that is being pursued by America’s agents in Bangladesh, led by Shaikh Hasina, with the arrests of dozens of sincere officers, who stood on the side of Islam and against the traitor rulers who ally with America. It is this purging policy that has been followed over decades in Syria, such that America can now stand back and watch as its agent President Bashar al-Assad wages war against his own people with heavy artillery, tanks and air force, over several months. We ask here, is this not the policy that Kayani and Pasha are pursuing, rewarded by America with extensions for their loyal service? Is this policy not to make the officers of Pakistan’s armed forces into guardians for American interests against their own people, whom they have sworn to protect against foreign aggressors? Has this policy not already been pursued in the tribal areas and have Kayani and Pasha not shown their willingness to extend this war of Fitna into Pakistan’s major cities, including Karachi? Is this not why any sincere officer is hounded out of the armed forces or made an example so that others will not make a stand? So, who really should be subject to court martial, sincere officers like Brigadier Ali Khan or traitors like Kayani and Pasha, we ask?
O officers of Pakistan’s armed forces!
Know that on the one hand America works to control this vast Ummah through the most powerful faction within it, the Muslim armed forces, and on the other she wishes to keep the public in check by banning and censoring Hizb ut Tahrir which is the sincere global political leadership of the Ummah. All colonialist powers who have designs over the Ummah have banned Hizb ut Tahrir in the Muslim countries through their respective agent rulers. Russia has banned the Hizb in the Central Asia through her puppet rulers, whilst US has banned Hizb in Pakistan, Bangladesh and various Arab countries like Syria and Egypt, whilst Britain has done the same in Jordan, Libya, Tunisia to name a few. But despite this Hizb has grown to become the largest political party in the world, working in over forty countries under the single leadership of the mujtahid, Shaikh Atta bin Khaleel Abu Rashta. Hizb ut Tahrir along with the sincere people within the armed forces is capable of liberating the Ummah from colonialist slavery.
O officers of Pakistan’s armed forces!
Do you not see the strength that exists within you and how the US depends upon you to achieve its interests? Do you not see that America is pursuing this vindictive purging because it is threatened by your strength? Do you not see that Kayani and Pasha must silence the likes of Brigadier Ali Khan because he speaks of that which you carry in your hearts and minds? This is why America fears this institution and wants to convert it into a feeble minded mercenary force to secure its interests. Brigadier Ali Khan is neither the first to be persecuted, nor will he be the last as long as America and her agents work to make sure that the entire institution submits to their command, blindly and without care for Pakistan’s security and sovereignty.
So, where do you stand as America seeks to herd you as guardians for her against your own people? Where do you stand as the sincere are subject to court martial and the traitors are granted extensions?
Some of you stand with the traitor rulers and the kuffar Americans, supporting them for worldly gains with full knowledge of the mischief that they do. Know that such people will be punished with the traitors at the hands of the Ummah when the Khilafah is established soon inshaAllah. And know that the punishment of Allah سبحانه و تعالى is greater than any suffering in this life. Allah سبحانه و تعالى said,
فَأَذَاقَهُمْ اللَّهُ الْخِزْيَ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَلَعَذَابُ الآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ
“So, Allah made them taste the disgrace in the present life, but greater is the torment of the Hereafter if they only knew” [Surah al-Zamar 39:26]
Others of you are silent, squandering the strength that Allah سبحانه و تعالى has bestowed upon you and about which you will be asked on the Day of all Days. Do you not see how the army of Fir’awn was punished along with the tyrant they obeyed? Does this life and its fleeting pleasures tempt you from the eternal bliss of Jannah? Allah سبحانه و تعالى said,
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمْ انفِرُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ أَرَضِيتُمْ بِالْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا مِنْ الآخِرَةِ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فِي الآخِرَةِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلٌ
“O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that when you are asked to march forth in the cause of Allah, you cling heavily to the earth Are you pleased with the life of this world rather than the Hereafter But little is the enjoyment of the life of this world compared to the Hereafter.” [Surah at-Tawba 9:38]
And yet others of you are yearning for defeat of the enemies and victory for Muslims. So, it is time, dear brothers, it is time to rush to grant the Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir for the establishment of the Khilafah. And may Allah سبحانه و تعالى bring the day through you soon, when the mischief and falsehood of the criminals traitors are obliterated by the truth of Islam. Allah سبحانه و تعالى said,
لِيُحِقَّ الْحَقَّ وَيُبْطِلَ الْبَاطِلَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُجْرِمُونَ
“That He might cause the truth to triumph and bring falsehood to nothing, even though the criminals hate it.” [Surah al-Anfaal 8:8]
