Paris Shooting Confirms Neglect of Muslim Rulers’ in Preventing Insults of RasulAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم

Pakistan’s Foreign Office on 8 January condemned the deadly shooting in Paris in which 12 people were killed. During the weekly Foreign Office news briefing, spokesperson Tasneem Aslam said Pakistan’s stance on blasphemous material was clear, emphasising that religions and beliefs should be respected.

Muslims will never ever, accept the right of anyone from East or the West to insult their Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم whatever the excuse may be. There is a difference between the misuse of blasphemy law and insisting on the right of blasphemy on the basis of freedom of expression. If anyone had any delusions about tolerance being an integral part of Western secularism and liberal democracies they should look at the reaction of Western governments and Western societies after the Paris shooting. Showing the true filth of Western Civilization, thousands have marched claiming that the right of people to insult the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم of Islam is an integral and proud tradition of Western Civilization. This is the reality of secularism and democracy. They are an enemy of religion. They are an enemy of Islam and we whole hardheartedly reject the rotten Western civilization which has sought to globalize such corrupt ideals.

But make no mistake. The real culprits are the Muslim rulers. 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! The honor of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم would not be protected by individuals rather it is the duty of Muslim rulers to protect the sanctities of Islam. But instead of fearing our rulers, Western governments are conferring our Generals with medals for their servitude in fighting their own people and strengthening Western occupation of Muslim lands. Only the Khilafah would return Islam to glory and might and protect the honor of the Prophet.

Regime Complains of Indian Hostility but Does Not Act Against It

Adviser to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz said 12 January that India is using Afghan soil to carry out attacks on Pakistan, however, adding that Indian involvement had decreased since the adoption of a joint Pak-Afghan policy to not to let their soils be used against each other. He was speaking on DawnNews program ‘Faisla Awam Ka’. This stance of the government is nothing new. Within the circles of the leadership, there are constant discussions about how the Indians are infiltrating the tribal areas and launching attacks on Pakistan’s armed forces and civilian populations. This opinion is then used to justify the operations in the tribal regions.

However, the regime’s actions are not in line with its complaint. Were it sincere to its stance, it would deal with both India differently. It would never allow India to maintain a diplomatic presence within Pakistan for it is a hostile state and must be treated as such. From the days of the Cold War, it is well known that diplomatic missions are used for spying, funding and supervising hostile operations. Moreover, India would never have enjoyed the influence that it has in Afghanistan were it not for America. It is only since America occupied Afghanistan, did America allow India to establish several consulates within Afghanistan, all within striking distance of Pakistan. Indeed, Hindus by their cowardly nature would never be bold enough to strike Pakistan, had they not the support of America. As for the operations in the tribal regions, at the end of the day they benefit both India and America, as the regime does not distinguish between the miscreants who attack Pakistanis and the noble mujhaideen who are a serious threat to the American occupation and its accompanying Indian presence.

The only way out for Pakistan is the establishment of the Khilafah and the implementation of the Islamic laws regarding the enemy states. Only the Khilafah will treat India and America as hostile states, ending their diplomatic, intelligence and military presence within Pakistan. Moreover it will strive to liberate all Muslim Lands of kuffar occupation, whether Afghanistan or Kashmir.

Kerry Praises Regime for Efforts to Safeguard US Occupation of Afghanistan

US Secretary of State John Kerry on 14 January appeared convinced about a positive change in Pakistan’s approach to confronting militancy, but would wait to see its results. “Pakistani forces deserve enormous credit for the ongoing military operations that they have already undertaken in North Waziristan and elsewhere, and these operations have already produced significant results. But make no mistake; the task is a difficult one and it is not done,” Secretary Kerry told reporters after co-chairing the fifth edition of the ministerial level Strategic Dialogue with his Pakistani counterpart Sartaj Aziz in Islamabad.

There is good reason that America is pleased with Pakistan’s forces being engaged in a fight in the tribal regions. America knows the great capability of Pakistan’s armed forces in ending foreign occupation of Muslim Land. It observed that when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, the highly capable intelligence of Pakistan’s armed forces, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), organized and enabled the tribal fighters against the Russian occupation, bloodying Russia’s nose such that she withdrew completely and never dared to return since. So, now that America itself invaded Afghanistan, Pakistan’s armed forces have the ability to drive her out of the region forever. And America also knows that North Waziristan is the key to Pakistan’s strategic depth in the region, protecting its lands and people from harm.

So, in order to simultaneously divide the Muslims, sink the armed forces into a quagmire of civil war and amputate Pakistan’s strategic depth, America specifically intensified demands for operations in North Waziristan, since September 2011. And just before the current operations, US Deputy Secretary of State, William Burns, visited Pakistan on 9 May 2014 and personally met key agents within Pakistan’s military and political leadership and instructed them to take action against militants launching attacks on American forces in Afghanistan. This was followed by US Congress linking aid to Pakistan to military operations in Waziristan and now US has provided aid for military operations in North Waziristan from the Coalition Support Fund.

Only the Khilafah will end the American ploy to ensnare Pakistan’s armed forces. It will mobilize the Muslims against the American occupation, simultaneously unifying the Muslims and exposing any hypocrites in their ranks.

Praise from the Kuffar is a Sign of Treachery

On 14 January 2015, General Raheel Sharif received a Guard of Honour in Britain. Last month in the US he received a medal… Last year in Australia, he received a Guard of Honour… When the open enemies of Islam praise and confer awards on a man, what does that reveal about his actions and allegiance? Are they recognising him for his service to Islam and the Ummah? Or for his service to them?

The Muslims must be alerted about any man receiving such praise from the kuffar, for the Muslims does not support anyone blindly. The Muslim is not fooled by the propaganda, lies and deception. For the Muslim is aware that he will be questioned on the Day of Judgment about who he supported, even by a word.

The Pakistan Army is brave and excellent force. It is the Ummah’s army. It has the potential to be a true army of Islam, raising the flag of Islam in the capitals of the current Kuffar lands. However, traitors in its leadership have sold themselves cheaply to the enemies of Allah. The Ummah in Pakistan needs to take back her army, by removing from its ranks the traitors. Each Muslim must play his part in that by speaking the truth and calling for what is right. And the brave officers of the army itself must grant the Nussrah for the return of Khilafah to the lands of Pakistan, the Good, the Pure.

Regime Embraces Enemies as Friends

The Raheel-Nawaz regime hosted ambassadors from the US, Germany, Australia, Netherlands and others in North Waziristan Agency, 15 January 2014, who were taken around and briefed on the progress of the military operation ‘Zarb-e-Azb.’ The delegation ‘lauded’ what they saw, according to the armed forces’ public relations service, ISPR, which described the ambassadors as representatives of “friendly countries.”

One must ask: if a state like the US, which has brought only war and destruction to this region and the rest of the Muslim world and which is openly fights Islam and Muslims, is a friendly country, then what does a foe look like?!

The reality is that the US is an openly hostile state and the people of Pakistan know this well. This is why its representatives like John Kerry hide their dates of arrival when visiting and why the President of the US won’t not even dare to visit. Obama knows the reception he will get from the people of Pakistan. It is only the few traitors in the political and military leadership who take the enemies of the Ummah as friends. And these enemies laud their work because they are ones who instructed it in the first place and it is for them it is being carried out.
