The German Interior Minister yesterday, Wednesday 27th February 2008, called upon all European newspapers to re-publish the blasphemous cartoons defaming RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم. The cartoons first printed by a Danish newspaper around two years ago, were republished a few days back by no less than seventeen Danish newspapers! This reveals that the hatred against Islam is neither merely a media issue nor is it disconnected from the Western rulers, as they previously claimed. Rather it is a Western issue where the entire West is involved in its hatred against Islam and its people; moreover, what they conceal in their hearts is even worse!
At the time the cartoons were first published, the Muslims cried until they were hoarse, whilst denouncing the cartoons. The voices have continued to praise RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم, but the result was that the voices were suppressed by the rulers and rendered ineffective. So now the newspapers from Denmark dare to republish the same cartoons again- not just in one newspaper but in seventeen! And if that were not enough, the German minister has now jumped into the fray, calling all European newspapers to print those disgusting cartoons in the name of ‘freedom of expression.’ They are liars, the real reason is their concealed hate for Islam and Muslims. If that is not the case, will they then dare to respond to what the Jews say of their holocaust, even if they have a thousand and one explanations or justifications for ‘freedom of expression’?!
What then is the reason they want to weaken the Muslims, uproot them, violate their sanctities and defiantly provoke them without any fear?!
The Western kuffar are not worried in the least about the repercussions of their defamation of Islam and RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم, neither politically, economically or even militarily.
The newspapers publish these evil cartoons and the minister calls for more publications… yet, no Muslim country has severed its diplomatic ties with such countries, and their embassies in the Muslim world are accorded full respect and not one of their ambassadors has been reprimanded. Can this evil be stopped with such behaviour? As their ministers continue to be accorded higher reception protocols, of course they will persist in their defiance and call for publication of such sketches!
The newspapers publish these evil cartoons and the minister calls for more publications…yet petrol from the Muslim lands continues to provide energy for the living of the kafir west which abuses Islam and its Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Even then, the petrol supply is neither stopped nor slowed down…, nor do the Muslim rulers and their henchmen even withdraw their money from their banks to affect the economies of such countries! The newspapers publish these evil cartoons and the minister calls for more publications…yet the military bases of the enemies of Islam and Muslims thrive in the Muslim lands, their soldiers relax without fear in safety and launch offensives from these bases against Muslim lands… Yet neither are the bases shut nor are the soldiers deported. Our rulers do not even reprimand them!
So, what does the kafir West have to fear when speaking of defaming Islam, the Prophet of Islam صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Qur’an?! Would they ever fear the rulers of the Muslims lands who have abandoned Islam, suspended the hudud and forbade the peak of Islam, Jihad? Moreover, these rulers fought against the Khilafah that had kept the imperialist kuffar awake at night and prevailed over them. These rulers have fought those who work to revive the Khilafah; they imprison the faithful, torture them until they even martyr them! All these rulers are concerned with are their thrones and crowns, they do not care in the least about protecting Islam and its lands, even if the deen is humiliated, the Muslims countries are reviled and the Muslims are scorned. Allah's Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth!
Do these colonialist kafir matter so much to these rulers, that they fear them and stand in awe before them, completely ignoring their flagrant violations against the sanctities of Islam and the Prophet of Islam صلى الله عليه وسلم?!
O Muslims!
Only the Khilafah will silence the evil tongues so that Islam’s fort remains inviolable, guarded by its own steed and no one would dare to confront it, much less shake its roots. The Khilafah stands for Islam and not for thrones and crowns…indeed violating Islam’s sanctities amounts to declaring war on Islam, for which the Khilafah will mobilise its troops, missiles and armoury, so that the enemy never even thinks of speaking ill of Islam upon the provocation of Shaytan. The kafir colonialist, fearful of the Khilafah’s stern response, will never dare to speak ill of Islam, even before our troops are mobilised!
Indeed, the history of the Khilafah bears testimony that the Khilafah protected Islam and Muslims, not simply against such evil acts of defamation against the Quran and the Prophet of Islam صلى الله عليه وسلم, but even against relatively minor violations. Remember the story of the Muslim woman whose honour was violated by the yahood in their market in the time of RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم, they were fought and driven away for their act! And the story of the woman who was abused by the Romans; the Khaleefah himself led the forces to punish the perpetrators, and opened ‘Amouriah…Then those who attempted to violate the honour of the grave of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم during the Abbasid Khilafah, when Noor-uddin Zanki was the wali of Sham in the year 557 Hijri. The wali, carrying the Khilafah flag, marched to Madeenah to capture those Christians and killed them. They were digging a tunnel from a rented house and planned to reach the grave through the tunnel!
Even in the years when the Khilafah had become weaker, the Khilafah still protected Islam and Muslims and the Kuffar colonialists stood in awe. George Bernard Shaw in his diaries of 1913, at the time when the Khilafah was at its weakest, wrote that he was prevented by Lord Chamberlain from writing anything derogatory about RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم, because he was scared of the reaction of the Ambassador of the Uthmani Khilafah in London!
O Muslims!
Whoever truly loves RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم should stand up and work sincerely to re-establish the Khilafah.
Whoever is stricken with pain by the evil cartoons defaming RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم, should strive to re-establish the Khilafah.
Whoever is angered by such acts against RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم should make all efforts to re-establish the Khilafah.
Whoever desires that Allah سبحانه وتعالى purifies the hearts of the believers from such defamation should stand up and strive to re-establish the Khilafah.
Whoever loves RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم and holds him dear, must follow him and work to have the Khilafah to whom he can give the pledge of obedience (bai’ah), because RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
«ومن مات وليس في عنقه بيعة مات ميتة جاهلية»
“Whosoever dies without the bai’ah on his neck, dies the death of jahiliyyah.”
And finally whoever wishes that he be raised along with RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم should work to re-establish the Khilafah.
Thus, O Muslims, Allah سبحانه وتعالى disposes through the rule of the Khilafah, what He سبحانه وتعالى does not dispose through the Quran. So, therefore a thousand and one sermons, and another thousand and one cries and a plethora of statements against these evil acts defaming RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم will not prevent even one tenth of what the Muslim Khaleefah can achieve through his troops against those sponsoring acts that are cursed by Allah سبحانه وتعالى, RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم and the believers. Allah سبحانه وتعالى says,
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ لَعَنَهُمْ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا مُهِينًا
“Verily, those who annoy Allâh and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, Allâh has cursed them in this world and in the Hereafter, and has prepared for them a humiliating torment.” [Surah al-Ahzab 33:57]
Indeed, Hizb ut-Tahrir is seeking for you to make RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم victorious as is his صلى الله عليه وسلم due. Only then can you prevent this evil defamation of RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم, is there any other way out?! The Khilafah is the protective shield, just as RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم has said,
«الإمام ـ الخليفة ـ جنة يتقى به ويقاتل من ورائه»
“The Imam- or Khaleefah- is the shield behind which you fight and seek protection.”
O Muslims, why be weak? We know for sure what will stop these evil acts.
The Khilafah on the method of the Prophethood is the platform which will protect the earth and its people and property, it is an obligation, and a mandate, O Muslims, towards which every one must strive.
إِنَّ فِي هَذَا لَبَلاَغًا لِقَوْمٍ عَابِدِينَ
“In it is the message for those who worship Allah.” [Surah al-Anbiya 21:106]
