Afghanistan’s Parliament voted on Monday July 22, 2013 to disqualify one of the country’s top security chiefs by impeaching the blow of expected withdrawal in 2014. “Afghan government is now at the hand of the wolves and I am alone unable to remove them.” Said General Ghulam Mujtaba Patang, “The Government and Parliament should have a closer coordination in order to remove the wolves who actually rule all 3 forces of the country.”
Comment:
A wolf speaking to other wolves clearly reflects their further coordination and assistance in making proper preys. Particularly, when the Halal and Haram bases as the sole standard of actions are replaced by limited human intellect and man-made laws. It is therefore that wolves, tigers and other prey seekers will dominant the space. Do the Government and the Parliament not call themselves defender of Islam and Muslims? Truly, they do so, but have forgotten what Allah سبحانه وتعالى has clearly mentioned in His Book:
وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنْكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَىٰ
“As for the one who disregards My message, he will have a miserable life, and we resurrect him, on the Day of resurrection, blind.”
(Ta Ha, 20:124)
The preliminary students of Democracy in Afghanistan, occasionally admits the results of Capitalist Democracy in Afghan society. Similarly to what Gen. Ghulam Mujtaba Patang has clearly said in order to achieve the so called confidence vote of Parliament.
As well, every single seat in the ministries has its specific price among the MPs and the government. Furthermore, every directorate inside ministries along with local offices in the provinces has their special prices. Inside the Ministry of Interior under Gen. Mujtaba Patand, its headquarters and its sub-offices have their specific prices. Even check-posts inside cities, streets and vendors have to pay the government thugs.
Similarly, according to the report released by the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime in Afghanistan on Thursday, 07 February 2013, bribes paid in the country in 2012 totaled 3.9 billion USD, almost a quarter of the entire amount of aid the international community has pledged to Afghanistan in the Tokyo Conference equaling to the country’s GDP from the last two years. However the total amount of the bribes paid to the officials in 2010 tolled to a sum of $2.5 billion.
Similar to that, on the 5th of December, 2012, in its new yearly report, Transparency International, an organization which does research and publishes reports on corruption, has titled Afghanistan, Somalia and North Korea the most corrupt countries of the world. The report published in 2012, Afghanistan, Somalia and North Korea got eight marks out of a hundred, and however, in the year 2011 and 2010 Afghanistan’s position was listed as second receiving 15 and 11 marks respectively.
New York Times in its issue of April, stated that for more than a decade, bundles of American dollars packed into suitcases, backpacks and, on occasion, plastic shopping bags have been dropped off every month or so at the offices of Afghanistan’s president. They were used for influencing ex-Mujahidin leaders or current democrats. All speak of tens of millions of dollars having flowed from the C.I.A. to the office of President Hamid Karzai, according to current and former advisers to the Afghan leader. “We called it ‘ghost money,’ “ said Khalil Roman, who served as Mr. Karzai’s Deputy in Chief of Staff from 2002 until 2005. “The US is the main supporter of corruption in Afghanistan,” said a US official. Various reports, published in recent years exposed millions of dollars called “Ghost Money” that are dropped off to the president’s office by Iran and other countries in order to ensure their interest.
By considering the following points it becomes clear that both the Afghan Government and Crusaders admitted the existence of high scale corruption in the country, which is a direct result of implementing Capitalist Democracy. Hamid Karzai, the head of this broken regime after the escape of his Central Bank Chairman to the US said: “Individuals with dual citizenship do what they wish, then after corruption, they take their way to Washington, London, Paris and elsewhere.” Moreover, Colonialist occupiers did not confine only in institutionalizing the corruption, but they went further, even that Gen. David Petraeus called the current corruption in Afghanistan as the historic heritage of Afghan Society. Meanwhile, the corruption that we observe today in Afghanistan, has never been seen throughout the history and they have no evidence to confirm it.
Such despondent situation in Afghanistan is the product of western invasions, Capitalistic ideas and democratic system, in the last twelve years. Because the crusaders invaders under the leadership of United States have not only invaded Afghanistan militarily rather the onslaught was ideological, cultural, political and economic in nature that changed the mindset of those Afghans that are part of the system to abandon Islamic Shariah as their sources to determine right and wrong. They were made to believe that they should decide their mater on the yard stick of ‘benefit’ rather then what is prescribed and what is forbidden by the Islamic Shariah. Blessing and honor are made to search in the western values of materialism then Islam, which is to get the pleasure of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. This whole malicious agenda is implemented by the Afghan government, propagated through the western backed media and sponsored by the crusaders both financially and militarily. This capitalistic ideology has only focused on few elites and has changed their lives, leaving the majority of the population in poverty, lawlessness and chaos.
The destruction of manmade system is not only the financial and administrative chaos rather has badly affected other spheres of life. For example, when communists use to take over a territory they use to kill almost 30% of their inhabitants through poverty, oppression, killings etc. Capitalism on other hand has caused two World Wars killing millions of human beings. Even today we witness western countries facing dire economic problems for which they can’t find a viable solution.
Moreover, other problems that are there in other social spheres of life and have disturbed the whole social fabric are homosexuality, incest, pedophilia, soaring divorce rates etc are few just examples. However, if we look at the 1300 years history of Islamic Khilafah such problems, wars, mass killings of innocent human beings, sexual deviations and other such crimes were nonexistent.
It’s not only Afghanistan that is suffering from all these ills due to western democracy and capitalism rather we see Iraq and Somalia also facing the same situation. Such manmade system has spread the behaviors called {eating of “suht”} among some Muslims, which means earning and devouring the forbidden that was the attitude of the cursed ones at the time of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. For the Islamic Ummah the root cause of these difficulties and sufferings is the implementation of manmade ideologies instead of Islam.
We call upon you O’ Noble Ummah of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to rise up and join Hizb ut Tahrir for the re-establishment of the Islamic Khilafah following the methodology of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.
أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ بَدَّلُواْ نِعْمَةَ اللّهِ كُفْراً وَأَحَلُّواْ قَوْمَهُمْ دَارَ الْبَوَارِ جَهَنَّمَ يَصْلَوْنَهَا وَبِئْسَ الْقَرَارُ
“Do you not see those who have exchanged Allah’s blessing for kufr, and moved their people to the abode of ruin: Hell, where they will roast? What an evil place to stay!”
(Ibrahim, 14:28-29)
