On Thursday 2nd January, Senator Mitch McConnell led a delegation of U.S. Senators on a visit to Afghanistan. While in Kabul they met with President Karzai and Afghan Parliamentarians to push forward talks to sign a crucial bilateral security deal and halt the release of prisoners the United States considers a threat to security. The Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told reporters at a news conference in Kabul on Thursday “If these releases go ahead it will do irreparable damage to the relationship”. Another member of the U.S. delegation John Mechan said that when we look back to the past 13 years of Afghanistan we see substantial development. It’s now pivotal for us not to repeat what happened in Iraq. We did succeed in Iraq but since we left Iraq the situation did not remain the same and we could not reach to the level of establishing peace and security in Iraq.

Comment:

America after starting its “War on Terror” against the Muslim Ummah has murdered around 50,000 Muslims in Afghanistan, 126,000 in Iraq and 36,000 in Pakistan, against around 2977 casualties of 9/11/2001. In addition, hundreds of thousands of people are injured, thousands other are kept in prisons of Bagram, Kandahar, Abu-Ghuraib, Guantanamo bay, and hundreds are imprisoned in secret prisons under severe humiliation, as well as millions of Muslims got homeless and displaced because of the barbarism inflicted upon them by the brutal U.S. occupation. These astonishing statistics give testimony that Muslim Ummah is ready to give any sacrifice to stand against the savagery and the real terrorism from the U.S. and its allied forces. Shamefully, all this is done by the name of Democracy, Freedom, Human rights, Globalization, civil state, civil society and other such sugar quoted but contaminant words.

Furthermore, few months back the American invader forces ostensibly handed over the charge of Bagram prison to the Afghan government after which some 3085 prisoners are under the command of Afghan government yet 400 Afghan prisoners and 50 other prisoners from other countries are still with American forces and were not handed over to the Afghan authorities. Those 88 prisoners whom America fears to release are with Afghan authorities. Few days ago 650 Bagram prisoners were set free because there were no evidences against them. This act of Afghan government faced stark reaction from the U.S. authorities, because this exposed the illegal and unjust confinement of the prisoners and the secret “Black prison” where the prisoners were brutally tortured and mortified by the ruthless invaders.

Abdul Shakor Dadras, who is one of the members of the committee for the Bagram prisoners said to the media “When I met the prisoners, they told me that each one of them were kept in “Black Prison” for more of less one month. They said we can’t say much what we have been through in the “Black Prison” but there was not light at all and was extremely dark place. They also said that the distance between this “Black Prison” and Bagram Prison is around 7 to 10 minutes”

Now keeping all this in mind you think about the logic given by the American senators, who neglect the inhuman imprisonment and humiliation of the innocent Muslims at the hands of U.S. savages but worries about the 88 prisoners who sent the invader forces to the worst of the hell fire, as well as consider it the contention between the U.S. and its puppet Afghan government.

Moreover, the utter hypocrisy of the U.S. government can be seen by the statement of John Mechan who on one hand blame U.S. invasion for the chaos in Iraq and on the other hand give this impression to the people of Afghanistan that like Iraq if U.S. withdraws from Afghanistan, it will also face the same fate, hence the U.S. should not repeat the same mistake in Afghanistan and should stay here for long. He fails to realize that the same U.S. government has signed both security and strategic pacts with Iraq, under which thousands of U.S. military and intelligence officials are given diplomatic immunity from any crime they commit on Iraqi soil. It is the same private security agencies, intelligence agencies and military officials that are the real cause of chaos in Iraq and because of which hundreds of people die in Iraq on daily bases. They also divided Iraq on tribal, religious and nationalist lines, as well as trying to do the same in Afghanistan in order to have justification for their existence.

Lastly, if the Muslims analyze the miseries and problems in every corner of the Islamic lands, they will witness that the foremost reason for all this is the western colonialism, their evil ideology, their failed civilization and above all the puppets ruling elite of the Muslim world. Indeed the west and the traitor rulers of the Muslim world don’t want Muslim to reunify under the umbrella of the Islamic Khilafah and to challenge their fragile secular capitalistic ideology, which in fact is on the verge of irretrievable collapse. Allah سبحانه وتعالى said in the Holy Qur’an;

قَاتَلَهُمُ اللّهُ أَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ

“Allah fight them! How perverted they are!”
