No Matter Who Wins in Democracy, We Lose Because Democracy Ensures IMF and US Control

In the Senate elections for chairman and deputy chairman on 12th March 2018, the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) suffered a major setback at the hands of the opposition parties. Sadiq Sanjrani, an Independent senator from Balochistan, defeated PML-N Chairman and Leader of the House in Senate Raja Zafarul Haq by 57-46 in the secret ballot.

Senate elections attracted attention because of the possibility that the ruling PML-N and its coalition partners may get the majority in Senate, enabling them to pass any legislation without any difficulty. The Senate elections and the subsequent vote for a chairman were mired in allegations of horse trading and involvement of the agencies of the armed forces. The advocates of democracy tried to create an impression that the ongoing tussle between the PML-N and the military will decide the fate of Democracy and civilian supremacy.

However, the reality is that no matter who wins seats in Democracy, Democracy will ensure that policies will be formulated under US and IMF dictates. Regardless of the winners in Democracy, there will be neither mobilization of armed forces to rescue the Muslims of Syria from the tyrant Bashar, nor closure of the US embassy and the supply lines to its besieged forces in Afghanistan, nor an end of IMF dictates that have crippled our economy. All the rulers under Democracy, whether military or civilian, do not implement laws pertaining to the economy and foreign policy that are derived from the Quran and Sunnah. Instead, Democracy allows rulers to frame policies and laws according to the requirements of their personal interests and the interests of their colonialist masters.

We must look beyond the so-called setbacks of one party beating another in Democracy. Democracy itself is the setback, for it always sacrifices the interests of Islam and Muslims. We must ensure that the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of Prophethood is established which will end permanently the era of US and IMF dictates through the implementation of Islam. Allah swt said,

وَهَـذَا كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ مُبَارَكٌ فَاتَّبِعُوهُ وَاتَّقُواْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

And this is a blessed Book (the Qur’an) which We have sent down, so follow it and fear Allah (i.e. do not disobey His Orders), that you may receive mercy.”

(Surah Al-Anaam 6:155)

 

Seek Victory or Martyrdom in Wars to Liberate Muslim Lands, not Medals from the Crusaders for Supporting their Occupation

Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman, was awarded the United States Legion of Merit — the highest military award of US armed forces awarded to any foreign military high official — on 12 March 2018. The military award was presented by Commander US Air Forces Central Command, Lieutenant General Jeffrey L Harrigian, on behalf of Chief of Staff US Air Force General David L Goldfein — who witnessed the ceremony through a video link to the Air Headquarters. According to a Pakistan Air Force (PAF) press release, the award has been conferred on Air Chief Aman “in recognition of his leadership, sagacity, vision, demonstration of superb resolve and unwavering dedication to the global war on terrorism.”

At a time when the Muslims of Syria, Burma, Occupied Kashmir and Palestine are crying for help, it is surely salt in their wounds that those who should be mobilized for their rescue are being awarded medals by the crusaders. The “global war on terrorism” is a crusader war to occupy Muslim Lands and then condemn those who fight back as terrorism. Is it not terrorism for the US to invade and occupy the Muslim Lands of Iraq and Afghanistan, unleashing its animalistic troops on the civilian population? The US itself is an untrustworthy, colonialist nation that harbors the world’s largest and most well-funded terrorist organization, the CIA. It is thus responsible for false flag operations, bombings and murders, to further US foreign policy objectives, throughout the world, from South America to South East Asia. And the US is not satisfied with its own terrorism of Muslims, it fully supports and rewards the terrorism of the Jewish entity and India.

Yet, the advocates of Democracy fully support the US in its crusade and warmly welcome accolades from it. They open Pakistan’s air space to drones which strike at will and without challenge. They maintain the protection of an air corridor of supplies to the crusader forces, without which they would be in an even more desperate situation than they are now. However when it is Muslims that ask for help, their appeals fall on deaf hands, even though Allah (swt) said,

وَمَا لَكُمْ لاَ تُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاء وَالْوِلْدَانِ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَـذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ نَصِيرًا

And what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah and [for] the oppressed among men, women, and children who say, “Our Lord, take us out of this city of oppressive people and appoint for us from Yourself an ally and appoint for us from Yourself a supporter?”

(Surah An-Nisa: 4:75)

 

Pakistan’s Rulers Increase Ties with Iran, Ignoring its Support of the Tyrant of Syria

Iran’s Foreign Minister arrived in Pakistan on 11 March 2018, leading a high-level delegation that includes a large group of businessmen and was scheduled to meet civilian and military leadership. After meeting with visiting Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on 13 March 2018, Pakistan’s Army Chief General Qamar Javed said, “Regional peace is dependent upon wider cooperation within West Asia. We all need to cooperate to root out transnational security/crimes threat.” While earlier during the meeting with the Iranian visitor, Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi emphasized the need for Pakistan and Iran to work together ‘in all earnest’ to reach the $5 billion trade target by 2021”

Pakistan’s rulers hold talks for increasing ties with Iran, whilst not saying a word against Iran’s support of the tyrant of Syria, Bashar, the US puppet that is fighting the return of the Caliphate. However, Pakistan’s rulers also invite Iran to take active part in the US sponsored peace initiatives in Afghanistan to secure a permanent US presence. Pakistan’s rulers have sent troops in support of the US agent King Salman, whilst he slaughters Muslims in Yemen to create the atmosphere for emergency negotiations, to come thereby to a compromise solution, on the one hand. Whilst on the other hand, the Southern Movement, Hassan Baoum’s wing, is supported by America and its agents, especially Iran, so that the US dominates the outcome, after Muslim blood is spilled in rivers. Thus, both Iran and Pakistan are acting to secure US interests, coordinating and cooperating, whilst neglecting the interests of the Ummah.

The intervention of the Kafir colonialists in the Muslim countries is only possible because of the treacherous rulers that govern them. They are loyal to the enemies of Islam and Muslims, and follow them. RasulAllah ﷺ warned,

«إِنَّهَا سَتَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ سِنُونَ خَدَّاعَةٌ، يُصَدَّقُ فِيهَا الْكَاذِبُ، وَيُكَذَّبُ فِيهَا الصَّادِقُ، وَيُؤْتَمَنُ فِيهَا الْخَائِنُ، وَيُخَوَّنُ فِيهَا الْأَمِينُ، وَيَنْطِقُ فِيهَا الرُّوَيْبِضَةُ»، قِيلَ: وَمَا الرُّوَيْبِضَةُ يا رسول الله؟ قَالَ: «السَّفِيهُ يَتَكَلَّمُ فِي أَمْرِ الْعَامَّةِ»

“There will come to the people years of treachery; when the liar will be regarded as honest, and the honest man will be regarded as a liar; the traitor will be regarded as faithful, and the faithful man will be regarded as a traitor; and the Ruwaibida will decide matters.’ It was said: ‘Who are the Ruwaibida?’ He said: ‘Vile and base men who control the affairs of the people.’ [Ahmad] It is incumbent upon the Ummah to rid itself of these Ruwaibida and establish the ruling by Islam through re-establishment of the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood. Allah (swt) said,

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَى هُوَ قُلْ عَسَى أَن يَكُونَ قَرِيبًا

“…and they say, “When is that?” Say, “Perhaps it will be soon””

(Al-Isra’: 51)
