America’s CIA Must Be Ejected from Muslim Lands

The US State Department warned American citizens in Pakistan on 10 December that the report on the CIA’s brutal interrogation techniques could cause retaliatory attacks. “US citizens in Pakistan should be aware that the release of declassified versions of the executive summary, findings, and conclusions of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence’s study on the CIA’s Rendition, Detention and Interrogation programme could prompt anti-US protests and violence against US interests, including private US citizens,” said a travel advisory issued by the State Department.

The Americans are well aware of the intense hatred the Muslims have for it. Its hostile behavior includes bombing of civilians, invasion, occupation and torture that even the animals of the jungle would shy from. Moreover, the Americans know that their presence on Muslim soil exposes them to attack. Their presence in Pakistan extends to intelligence, private military and diplomatic staff, who are involved in creating mischief in the region. Yet, the Raheel-Nawaz regime maintain this harmful presence on Muslims Lands, in direct conflict with the sentiments within the people and the armed forces.

The Muslims hatred of America is in accordance to the Islamic injunctions regarding the belligerent hostile state. And the Khilafah state being an Islamic state will act according to the Muslim sentiments by expelling all the American personnel from Pakistan’s soil. Allah سبحانه وتعالى said,

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ تُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ- إِنْ يَثْقَفُوكُمْ يَكُونُوا لَكُمْ أَعْدَاءً وَيَبْسُطُوا إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُمْ بِالسُّوءِ وَوَدُّوا لَوْ تَكْفُرُونَ

“O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies as allies, showing affection towards them.- 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 Al-Mumtahina 60:2)

Only the Khilafah will Deal with India as it Should Be Dealt with

The Foreign Office on 13 December warned India against misjudging Pakistan’s defence capabilities. “There must not be any miscalculation about Pakistan’s resolve to defend itself and thwart any aggression,” Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam said. There is anger at the regime’s weak response towards Indian aggression and tough words do not compensate. This weak stance is despite many factors in Pakistan’s favour for asserting dominance in its region.

The Hindu state is a fragile rule, with a tendency to collapse. It is based on bigotry to the point that there are a myriad of secessionist groups, which seek the division of India. It is incapable of providing security and prosperity to non-Hindus or even Hindus of lower castes. The Hindu state is energy dependent on the huge gas and oil reserves with the Muslim Lands and upon Pakistan for access to these resources. India’s influence Afghanistan is purely dependent on Pakistan, its logistical support, its intelligence and its professionally competent armed forces. However, the current regime exploits Pakistan’s strength to support the American occupation in Afghanistan, which opened the doors to India in the first place.

Only the Khilafah will return matters to Pakistan’s favour. Islam is a unifying force for the Muslims of South and Central Asia that are over half a billion in number, of which nearly 200 million are in the Hindu state itself. The combined forces of the Islamic Ummah is approaching six million, those of the Hindu state stand at one million. The call for Khilafah has permeated through Central and South Asia, so the platform for the reunification of the Muslim Lands is in place. Moreover, there are many non-hostile non-Muslim states in the region who resent American and Indian aggression on their doorstep. They are also amenable to access to the huge resources of the Muslim Lands.

Muslims Sacrifice for Islam, not for Kufr Democracy

Imran Khan speaking to reporters on 15 December said, “I want to apologise to the residents of Lahore. We have been holding protests since the past four months but the government has left us with no other option but to take to the streets,” he said. “If we do not make sacrifices today then our children would need to make sacrifices tomorrow.”

Imran is insulting the Muslims by lecturing them about sacrifice. There is no such groundswell for Democracy today and nor will there be tomorrow because the majority of people know well that Democracy contradicts Islam. Imran Khan and the other supporters of Democracy, from the regime and the opposition, must realize that the people of Pakistan do not balk at sacrifice as long as it is for Islam. Pakistan was established after tremendous sacrifices, motivated by Islam as Pakistan was to be established for the sake of Islam. The immense bravery in war with India, the support for Kashmir and the ejection of the Soviet Russian occupation from the region are all through a love of Islam. The heartwarming generosity seen during the earthquake of 2005 and the floods of 2010 were all for the sake of Islam.

RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم and his Companions (ra) sacrificed for the sake of abolishing man-made law and establishing the ruling by all that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has revealed. It is upon the Ansaar of today, the officers of the armed forces, to honour that sacrifice by granting the Nussrah to 000 000 for the return of the Khilafah to Pakistan.

Expel the US Presence on Our Soil to End Bloodshed

The 16 November ‪‎Peshawar attack‬, which left 132 school children and 9 school staff dead, is heartbreaking. It is great depravity or grand delusion, or both, that pushes someone to kill children in cold blood. Depravity whereby the quest for political and economic gain blinds a person to justify the unjustifiable and transgress the boundaries of Allah. Or delusion whereby a person’s heart and intellect can no longer see as clearly wrong that which is. However, we must not let emotions blind our own capacity to think clearly. Many well-meaning people are expressing sentiments of vengeance. They can’t wait but to cheer on the army as it increases attacks in the tribal regions. Yet it is these very attacks that caused the problem in the first place!

Fact is it was not the Pashtun Muslims, either side of the artificially-imposed Durand line, who attacked anyone in Pakistan first. Traitors within the Pakistani military and political leadership that rushed to side with the US in its invasion of Afghanistan, hiding behind stupid excuses like the ones Musharraf presented. An invasion which wrought havoc in Afghanistan of untold proportions. An invasion, before which, attacks on market places and schools were unknown. An invasion who harm did not remain in Afghanistan alone.

Part of what was giving strength to the resisting mujahidin in Afghanistan was their ability to move back and forth into the tribal regions of Pakistan amongst their brothers and tribes. To re-coup and re-group in Pakistan before moving back to resist the invaders in Pakistan. When the US realised this they sought to extend the war into Pakistan to cut of this sanctuary to the mujahidin. Unable to wage war themselves in Pakistan (politically difficult), they pushed the Pakistani military to do their bidding, and the traitors in the military leadership obliged – (it’s for this sort of betrayal that army chiefs like Raheel Sharif gets medals bestowed on them by the US).

And so began the “operations” within Pakistan, each time with a convenient attack on civilians somewhere to garner public support. Named Rah-e-Haq, Rah-e-Raist, Rah-e-Najat, etc., but all actually in Rah-e-America and indeed it was only the US agenda in the region that benefited from them. Pakistan only became more unstable. It is but common sense that if you light fires in your own land, chaos will ensure. If you oppress others, that oppression will catch up with you. If you attack parts of your own body, then entire body will suffer.

So regardless of whether this particular cowardly attack has been orchestrated by the US or not – indeed, US operatives have been caught red-handed in the past, only to then be released! – or by some deluded Muslims exacting revenge, the blood of our children is not only on the hands of such perpetrators but also on the hands the traitors in the political and military leadership who have facilitated this chaos. The traitors in the Raheel-Nawaz regime whose agency to the US comes before any interests of the ummah and its children. The solution is not more operations – that will only make things worse – but to expel the American presence in Pakistan, along with its agents. Wallahu al-Musta’an.

Cut off the Head of the Snake, Seal American Embassy, Consulates and Expel American Personnel

On his visit to Kabul on 17 December, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif sought handover of top Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan chief Mullah Fazalullah who is wanted for terrorism cases in Pakistan. The army chief shared classified intelligence details with the Afghan officials and revealed to them that the mastermind behind the Peshawar attack, who was from Afghanistan, was giving directives to terrorists.

When a snake enters your house, you must grab it by the head, not the tail, or it will always bite youl. Wherever American intelligence have gotten into a country, bloodshed is the result, from Central America, through Iraq and onto South East Asia. Through intelligence gathering and infiltrations, as preparations for bloody black operations, American intelligence has given many countries their blackest of days. It is upon the armed forces to immediately seal the American embassy and consulates, which are fortresses in all but name. It is upon the armed forces to round up and expel the intelligence and private military whose safe houses are known in residential as well as military cantonment areas. This is the only way to purge Pakistan of such bloodshed and restore the peace and security that the people yearn.

Such bold and necessary actions will never be undertaken by a regime that has enslaved itself to America, insisting that it is an alliance of equals. They will only be undertaken by a Khaleefah, obedient to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم treating America as it ought to be, an open enemy, 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)

Government Exploits Grief to Further American Plan

The Interior Ministry on 18 December approached American Embassy to send some counter-terrorism experts who are proficient in South Asian security affairs to assist Pakistan’s top counter-terrorism body – the National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA), said a senior official.

We pray to Allah سبحانه وتعالى that He holds to account and punishes the people involved in the horrific murder of children in Peshawar for they violated His command and attacked and killed the innocent. May Allah give patience to the parents who lost their children in this terrible tragedy. To Allah we belong to Him shall we return. However, the criminal rulers are trying to exploit the situation to further the American plans. By exploiting our grief and anger, they invite us to become a fuel for the American war instead of rallying the people to end it.

The rulers want us to believe that there are only two types of people who exist in the society. Those who support military operations in FATA and those who support the Peshawar massacre. O Allah curse them and destroy them how they have lead their people to destruction. Islam tells as that the enemy is to be treated as an enemy. So, the ISAF General, the Viceroy of Afghanistan cannot help us and nor can the American counter-terrorism personnel. They are the enemy. America is the enemy, who is fueling this war of fitna in Pakistan by orchestrating such attacks through its intelligence presence. An intelligence presence which our rulers help her maintain.

There is a third group. A much larger group in society which stands neither for military operations nor justifies murder. This group rejects this false choice and calls for the ejection of US military, intelligence and diplomatic presence from our lands and ending the war on terror.

Electricity, Petrol and Oil Must Be Public Property for Relief from Hardship

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced on 12 December at Rs2.32 per unit reduction in electricity tariff and promised a further cut in prices of petroleum products. “I want to give good news to the countrymen from Peshawar that electricity prices are being reduced by Rs2.32 per unit, while the rates of petroleum products will go down further next year,” he said.

The regime continues its deceiving of the people regarding energy prices. The general trend is rises, of which more are on the way, but temporary reductions are announced with great fanfare. The root of the problem is the governments privatization of energy, which forces private owners to raise prices to secure profits for themselves. Rising energy costs have destroyed local industry, with industrialists closing down manufacturing units and turning to import trade.

The Khilafah will provide affordable energy and nurture rapid industrislization because Islam mandates energy is a public property whose entire benefit is for looking after the affairs of the people, regardless of religion or ethnicity.
