Pattern of “Do More” Followed by Barbaric Attacks
In the wake of the barbaric attack on a school in Peshawar, US State Department said on 19 December 2014 that Washington would welcome increased cooperation with Pakistan in the fight against terrorism. “We have been working closely with all levels of the Pakistan government,” the State Department’s spokesperson Jen Psaki told a briefing in Washington. As for the purpose of the working closely, in a Dawn interview published on 28 November, US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Ambassador Feldman, when asked if General Raheel’s US visit achieved its goals said that, “We had very straightforward, constructive and honest discussions on the need to go after all terrorists, including the Haqqani Network, and to make sure that all terrorist safe havens are shut down.”
It is a painfully familiar pattern. American demands to do more are underlined with barbaric acts, followed by compliance with the demands. The attacks on Meena Bazaar in Peshawar, Moon Market in Lahore and the Rawalpindi attacks on GHQ and a Masjid are just a few examples. More recently, the attack on Karachi Airport came before North Waziristan Operations. And now the animalistic slaughter of children came before hammer and anvil operations in the tribal areas on both sides of the Pak-Afghan border, under the supervision of America.
Breaking this pattern of destruction demands referral to the book of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Alliance with America is forbidden by Islam as it is a belligerently hostile state. It is this alliance that opened the doors to American intelligence and private military who gain intelligence, plan, infiltrate, supply and fund the corruptible for undertaking barbaric acts. Allah سبحانه وتعالى said,
إِنَّمَا يَنْهَاكُمْ اللَّهُ عَنْ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَأَخْرَجُوكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُوا عَلَى إِخْرَاجِكُمْ أَنْ تَوَلَّوْهُمْ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمْ الظَّالِمُونَ
“Allah forbids your alliance with those who fight you because of your Deen, and drive you from your homelands, or aid others to do so: and as for those who turn to them in alliance, they are truly oppressors.”
(Surah al-Mumtahina 60:9)
And rather than fighting those who resist occupation, Islam ordered the fighting of the American forces occupying Afghanistan. He سبحانه وتعالى said,
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قَاتِلُوا الَّذِينَ يَلُونَكُمْ مِنْ الْكُفَّارِ وَلْيَجِدُوا فِيكُمْ غِلْظَةً وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِينَ
“O you who believe! Fight those of the Disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty ‘unto Him’.”
(Tawba 9: 123)
However, referring to the Book of Allah سبحانه وتعالى will never occur in this Kufr system and our situation will only change through the establishment of the Khilafah.
OIC Rubs Salt in the Wounds of the Muslims of Pakistan, When Armed Forces of the Ummah Need Mobilization Against US Occupation
The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) will organise in Peshawar a peace conference of Ulema and ambassadors of Muslim countries to adopt a joint strategy against terrorism. This was said by OIC Secretary General Iyad Amin Madani during a meeting with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervez Khattak here on 20 December.
The OIC claims representation of the Muslim Lands, whose armed forces number into millions, dwarfing the armed forces of America, India and the Jewish entity in number and bravery. It is well known that whenever Americans occupies Muslim Lands, there is always mayhem and bloodshed. It is well known in Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan that wherever US intelligence and private military takes hold, it undertakes campaigns of bombings and assassination to support the continuation of the occupation. This army of terrorist trainers and funders roams the country with sophisticated equipment and huge funding resources, so that not even the most sensitive military areas can be secured. However, rather than utilizing the immense strength of the Ummah to rid it of foreign occupation, the traitorous OIC leadership calls for ridding America of those who are fighting its occupation. It is high time that the Khilafah was established, unifying the mighty Ummah against its tormentors.
Good and Bad Taliban Ploy Being Used for American Interests
On 16 December, whilst condemning the attack on the Peshawar school, the United States confirmed that after Jan 2, US forces in Afghanistan will target those Taliban that have a direct threat to the US. The Dawn Newspaper reported on 22 December that, “Being a member of the Taliban doesn’t mean that the United States is going to prosecute operations against you for that reason alone,” Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby adding that, “We’ve also concurred that a member of the Taliban who undertakes missions against us or our Afghan partners — by that act alone, renders himself vulnerable and liable to US action.” So, America has drawn an important distinction, which is that the bad Taliban are those that attack the US occupation, whereas the good Taliban are the ones that do not. This is consistent with its plan to maintain its occupation of Afghanistan.
As for America’s agents in Islamabad, they used a “good and bad Taliban” ploy to pull the wool over the eyes of the armed forces. They initially insisted that they were playing a double game with America and only going after those who attack the armed forces, the bad Taliban. They claimed that they would not attack those who are fighting the American occupation in Afghanistan. They even allowed the armed forces to hold their opinion that the Afghan Taliban are good Taliban, a view that they have held since the time of the Soviet Russian invasion of Afghanistan. But now they have abandoned the double game facade and are making calls that they will go after all Taliban, including those who are fighting America only.
The rulers have always been playing a double game against the armed forces. They pursue the American policy, but tailor the implementation to account for the fact that hatred of America is deep in the people of Pakistan and the armed forces. The Khilafah will end the games of the current rulers because it is bound by Islam. Islam forbids alliance with America. It forbids hostile nations from having any presence on Muslim Lands. And it obliges the mobilization of the armed forces to end any foreign occupation.
Military Courts to Curb Opposition to the American Raj
Prime Minis¬ter Nawaz Sharif announced in a late-night address to the nation on 24 December that the country’s political leadership had agreed to set up special military courts to try hardened terrorists. In his remarks to the meeting, Army Chief General Raheel Sharif referred to the 2009 Swat operation and said that terrorists with proven track records, captured by the army, had been freed by courts. “If this remains the state of affairs, there will be no use of the ongoing military operation in North Waziristan,” he was quoted as saying.
So the regime has failed in its duty to protect the Muslims. It has ignored that which is known to the people, that America is the head of the snake of barbaric attacks on the people and the armed forces. Even Americans themselves know that they are the head of the snake throughout the world, through the recent report regarding CIA brutality throughout the world. Yet, the regime has not lifted a finger to eliminate this clear and flagrant threat.
And to add to its crimes, the regime is now using the barbaric Peshawar attack as an excuse to pursue those who are raising arms against the illegal American occupation of Afghanistan, even though Islam orders the fighting of the occupying Kuffar forces. The regime did not stop there, for it has sought to pursue sympathizers (hamdard) which are those Muslims who raise their voices against the American occupation and for the implementation of Islam, even though Islam orders the Muslims to account the rulers for any transgression of Islam.
To save Pakistan from further harm, it is imperative that the regime is uprooted and the Khilafah is established in its place.
National Action Plan is to Prevent Jihad Against the Crusader Occupiers
Not only does the regime prevent the armed forces from fulfilling their duty of Jihad to end the Western occupation in Afghanistan, it orders the armed forces to engage in operations in the tribal regions in support of the occupying forces, under the banners of “alliance” and “strategic cooperation.” On 23 December 2014, the Chief of Army Staff, General Raheel Shareef met commanders of the Afghan National Army (ANA) and the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan (ISAF) and reaffirmed commitment to joint operations to eliminate all tribal fighters. An ISPR statement on the meeting said, “Both leaders (ANA and ISAF chiefs) assured their full support in fight against terrorism and eliminating terrorists on Afghan soil.” And the American blood money, from the Coalition Support Fund, comes with a condition that the crusaders will examine the effects of the operations to their satisfaction. Thus they commit to burn our armed forces as fuel for America’s collapsing crusade, even though Allah سبحانه وتعالى said,
إِنَّمَا يَنْهَاكُمْ اللَّهُ عَنْ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَأَخْرَجُوكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُوا عَلَى إِخْرَاجِكُمْ أَنْ تَوَلَّوْهُمْ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمْ الظَّالِمُونَ ْ
“Allah forbids your alliance with those who fight you because of your Deen, and drive you from your homelands, or aid others to do so: and as for those who turn to them in alliance, they are truly oppressors.”
(Surah al-Mumtahina 60:9)
Raheel-Nawaz Regime Forbid Jihad Against American Occupation
On 26 December, at least 23 suspected militants, including some key Taliban ‘commanders’, were killed as military planes pounded their hideouts in the Dattakhel area of North Waziristan Agency, according to the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR). The regime has engaged in treachery against the sanctity of the Muslims’ lands, it is in the form of measures to prevent Jihad against the occupying American forces in Afghanistan, under the banner of preventing “terrorism.” Previously the regime claimed to distinguish between those who attacked Pakistan and those that attacked the American occupation. However, now, the regime has declared them all as one and has ordered them all to be stopped, no longer distinguishing between the lowly murderer of children and the noble Mujahid fighting in the way of Allah against the Western crusaders. On 17 December 2014, Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, declared, “There will be no distinction between good and bad Taliban. The nation will continue this war with full resolve till the elimination of the last terrorist.” This is despite the severe condemnation from Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم for abandoning the duty of Jihad in the path of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Allah سبحانه وتعالى said,
الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَضَلَّ أَعْمَـلَهُمْ
“Those who disbelieve and hinder (men) from the Path of Allah (Jihad), He will render their deeds vain.”
(Surah Muhammad 47:1) ِ
And RasuAllah صلى الله عليه وسلم said,
مَا تَرَكَ قَوْمٌ الْجِهَادَ إِلا عَمَّهُمُ اللَّهُ بِالْعَذَابِ
“There is no people that abandoned Jihad, such that they are not stricken by Allah with punishment.” [Tabaraani]
