Working with America does not Work for Pakistan

The Foreign Office (FO) on 22 August 2017 rejected United States’ President Donald Trump’s allegations that Pakistan offers safe haven to “agents of chaos”, as he announced America’s new strategy on Afghanistan and South Asia. The FO, issuing a rejoinder to the US president’s statements said: “As a matter of policy, Pakistan does not allow use of its territory against any country. Instead of relying on the false narrative of safe havens, the US needs to work with Pakistan to eradicate terrorism.”

How can anyone in their right mind want the US to work with Pakistan anymore? The US works Pakistan mercilessly like a slave and then beats and berates it as thanks. It is because the US has worked with Pakistan to eradicate “terrorism” that Pakistan got into the mess it is in now. The US worked with Musharraf to enable it to occupy Afghanistan in the first place, which created turmoil in the entire region. Without Musharraf’s work the US would never have been able to invade the region in the first place. The US then worked with Musharraf to expand its intelligence presence in Pakistan to address the tribal resistance to its occupation and directly supervise the pro-Islam elements in Pakistan’s own intelligence. This was to prevent the US occupation facing the same fate as that of Soviet Russia and Imperial Britain previously. Concurrently it worked with Musharraf to declare the Jihad in Occupied Kashmir against the Hindu forces as “terrorism,” bolstering India in its efforts to oppress Muslims.

The US then worked with Kayani to expand its private military presence which launched false flag operations to prod our armed forces into action against the tribal resistance. Blood shed, mayhem and chaos were the result, as exemplified by the Raymond Davis case. The US then worked with Kayani and then Raheel to further put pressure on the tribal resistance, crossing the red lines of Waziristan and then North Waziristan. Without the work of Kayani and Raheel, the US would have had to have beaten a hasty retreat long ago.

As for now, the US is working with Bajwa to force the tribal resistance into negotiations with the US so that it can stay, whilst simultaneously exercising “restraint” before increasing Hindu State hostility in Occupied (Maqbooza) Kashmir and across the Line of Control into Liberated (Azaad) Kashmir.

Clearly, the time to end working for the US has arrived. Allah (swt) 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 allies showing them affection even when they disbelieve in that truth that has come to you.”

(Surah Mumtahina 60:1)

And He said (swt),

إِن يَثْقَفُوكُمْ يَكُونُواْ لَكُمْ أَعْدَآءً وَيَبْسُطُواْ إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُمْ بِالسُّوءِ وَوَدُّواْ لَوْ تَكْفُرُونَ

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 Mumtahina 60:2)

 

Bajwa Meets the US Ambassador as an Abused Slave Meets His Master

Gen Bajwa told United States Ambassador David Hale, who called on him on 23 August 2017 to explain his country’s new policy on Afghanistan and South Asia, that Pakistan “was not looking for any material or financial assistance from USA but trust, understanding and acknowledgement of our contributions” as stated in the ISPR’s Press Release (PR-432/2017-ISPR).

From whom is Bajwa seeking trust, understanding, acknowledgement and honor?! Who exactly is the United States with whom Bajwa still maintains alliance with? It 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. It is a dishonorable capitalist nation that has mobilized financial institutions, such as the IMF and World Bank, to deprive resource rich nations of their natural resources and industrial capabilities, whilst plunging them into debt that can never be repaid through a web of interest (riba) and choking taxation. It is an arrogant, secular state, unworthy of leadership on the Earth of Allah (swt), Lord of the Worlds, that has made clear that it is American First and the rest of the world last. In its pursuit to secure the interests of its greedy, gray-suited men, it has unleashed weapons of mass destruction upon the women, children and elderly and set its cowardly, dishonorable troops upon the lives, properties, honor and sanctities of others.

How can we expect honor and trust from an alliance with such a hostile enemy, when Allah (swt) warned,

الَّذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِن دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَيَبْتَغُونَ عِندَهُمُ الْعِزَّةَ فَإِنَّ الْعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًا

Those who take disbelievers for allies instead of believers, do they seek honor, power and glory with them? Verily, then to Allah belongs all honor, power and glory.”

(Surah an-Nisa’a 4:139)

How, O Muslims?! The American crusaders will never grant honor even if tens of thousands more of us are burnt in the fires of chaos and thousands more of our officers and soldiers are burnt as fuel for the US crusade. So, how long are we to tolerate rulers like Bajwa, who see fit to submit themselves as self-disrespecting slaves, before an ungrateful and cruel master?

 

Answer Trump in his Language: Close US Embassy, Consulates and Bases!

A meeting of high-level military and political leadership took place at the PM House on 24 August 2017, under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, to devise a “detailed reply” to President Donald Trump’s accusation of Pakistan being a “safe haven” for terrorists. Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal, Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif, Chairman Joint Chief of Staff Committee Zubair Hayat, Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa, Air Chief ACM Sohail Aman, and Naval Chief Admiral Muhammad Zakaullah are among those in attendance.

More words, statements and rebuttals, when actions involving fire and steel are the need of the time! Such meetings are failed attempts at face saving before an Ummah that is wide awake to its reality and its needs. Why respond to Trump’s agenda when you can set an agenda for the world’s thug?! It is upon Pakistan’s leadership to announce immediate withdrawal from America’s crusade, defiantly expel the US ambassador and round up the American CIA, FBI and private military that have launched a campaign of blasts and assassinations to prod our capable armed forces into the tribal areas to fight America’s war for it. That’s just the start. The embassy and consulates must be sealed, as well as the Raymond Davis bases that infest our cities and even our sensitive military cantonment areas. Even that’s just the start. Our intelligence must reject any orders to force the Afghan Taliban to be ensnared in the maze of negotiations to legitimize the US military footprint and instead fully mobilizing them in their love for Jihad and martyrdom. Our armed forces must stand at the Durand Line to shoot down any fleeing US troops and observe as the US occupation is torn asunder, as the Soviet Russians and Imperialist British before them. And for the creative Islamic leadership, even that’s just the start.

Seven decades of alliance with the colonialists has confirmed that it is a well-trodden path of betrayal, humiliation and insecurity. The last sixteen years of alliance with the crusaders has only brought us civilian and military leaders that traded our security and your blood to secure their own luxurious retirements. It brought us Musharraf who mobilized our intelligence, air bases and air corridors to secure the Americans an occupation that they could never achieve by themselves. It brought us Kayani and Raheel who mobilized our strength and power in the tribal areas to grant respite to the cowardly crusaders, who, if left on their own, would have long ago sunk in the “graveyard of the empires.”  And it has now brought us Bajwa, who seeks alliance with the untrustworthy and is busy now extending a rope of political legitimacy to the exhausted US military presence on our doorstep, by herding the Afghan Taliban into the maze of negotiations.

How can such cheap, greedy leaders be tolerated to lead a believing armed forces that holds in its heart the saying of Allah (swt),

يَوْمَ لا يَنْفَعُ مَالٌ وَلا بَنُونَ * إِلاَّ مَنْ أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ

The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children- But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart.”

(Surah ash-Shura’a 26:88-89)
