Pakistan Headlines – 4 July 2015

End All Foreign Contact with Political Parties

The government on 26 June formally asked the British authorities for access to information cited in a BBC report which alleged that Indian government funded the ethnic party MQM, whose stronghold is Karachi, and trained militants linked to the party. Interior Minister Chaud­hry Nisar Ali Khan had a day earlier, after a meeting with British High Commissioner Philip Barton, said, “On the advice of the high commissioner (Barton), I will formally write to the British government to seek their help in the matter at an official level.”

The allegations against the MQM are actually the tip of a very large iceberg. The origin of the problem is the existence of personnel of belligerently hostile states on our soil and their open access to the political parties, ruling and opposition. These personnel meet regularly with political parties of all backgrounds to influence them and it is known that where further persuasion is needed, funds are given. So it is known that the US military and civil administration officials, Senators, Congressmen and Ambassador to Pakistan meet with political parties and various ministers directly. Such contact and funding is used only to nurture agents and secure foreign interests in Pakistan.

Only the Khilafah will sever the perverting influence on our political media from its basis. It will end the presence of personnel from foreign belligerent states on our soil It will investigate any contact between any individual and those of foreign states, belligerent or not, to end the foreign hostile influence on our soil.

 

Democracy Ensures Plundering and Corruption

President Mam­noon Hussain said on 29 June 2015 that law was taking its course against plunderers of national resources and time had come to ensure effective accountability. Addressing a seminar at the Presidency on ‘Accountability and Good Governance’, he called for exemplary punishment for people involved in corrupt practices irrespective of their status in order to eradicate corruption from the country. “For this purpose all related departments should expedite their anti-corruption activities to meet the public expectations,” he said. “State institutions should ensure corruption-free good governance as per aspirations of the people for putting the country on the track of sustainable growth and development,” the president said.

The President is seeking to prevent corruption through Demorcracy, when Democracy itself is the cause of corruption. Democracy is the reason why Pakistan is a wealthy country, but poor people and political parties, but immensely rich rulers and politicians. Over six decades, legislation has secured the ownership of public and state properties by a small elite. Using democracy they make laws that are preferential for their personal business interests, in addition to securing their assets from taxation.

The only way to end corruption is to abolish Democracy and establish the Khilafah. The Khilafah is the state whose institutions are based on Allah سبحانه وتعالى alone is Sovereign, closing the doors for men to secure wealth by making laws according to their whims and desires. In the Khilafah the Ummah and the Courts of the Unjust Act are the mechanisms by which the Khaleefah or any ruler would be removed for implementing other than Islam. Political parties and the elected members of the Council of the Ummah will hold the rulers to account and advise them according to Islam.

 

Western Civilization Justifies Despicable Acts in the Name of Freedom

On 27 June 2015, Hamza Ali Abbasi, actor, created a strong discussion on social media when he burst out at Pakistani ‘liberals’ for supporting legalization of same sex marriages in US, asking, “My heart sank when my 12 yr old nephew asked me what is gay? And why are people celebrating gay marriage being legal.” The real rot of Western Civilization is becoming visible for Muslims to see. At its very core Western Civilization is about the individual and his freedoms. Western historians refer to the reign of religion as “dark ages” and the political struggle against religion as an era of “enlightenment”. In these terms is visible the West’s emotional attitude towards religion and tells us something about their objectivity towards history.

In the fierce clash between the church and the “enlightenment” thinkers who rejected religion all together, a compromise was reached. The church would give up its insistence on religion’s political role and the “enlightenment” camp would give up their rejection of religion, as long as it remained confined to personal life. This was the birth of secularism and individualism which are the hallmark of Western Civilization. The West’s struggle against religion was explained by adopting the word “freedom”. This freedom in the context of Western political experience was freedom from the restrictions of religion. Thus followed Western political narrative. Man was born “free”. No one has the right to tell him what is right and what is wrong, not even God. The ultimate success and triumph for the West is that man is to fulfil his sensual pleasures as he sees fit.

Islam is a Deen of obedience. Man has a choice, but he is not free. He was created to worship Allah which requires submitting to His commands in personal and political life. The Islamic Civilization is in direct contradiction with Western Civilization. It is the Obedient Servant Versus the “Free Man”. If a Muslim is disgusted by homosexuality for it being a rejection of Allah’s commands, the Muslim must be as disgusted with the Western Civilization and the ideals which give birth to and celebrate such despicable acts.

 

Entire Opposition is B-Team to American Agent Rulers in “Baaree Baaree” Politics

Following months of speculation and rumours about possible defections from the Pakistan People’s Party, the first batch of PPP leaders formally announced their decision to join the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI). In a short statement before the media, Samsam Bokhari, former minister of state for information, said PPP Co-Chairman Asif Zardari’s continued policy of conciliation with the ruling PML-N in Punjab had made them virtually redundant in the province’s political sphere and forced them to change sides. “Over the last two years, we have been feeling like the PML-N’s B-team, which was totally against the PPP’s ideology.”

In actual fact, all the parties that are engaged in Democracy are B-Teams to the ruling party. Due to heavy contact and influence of the Americans, the ruling party makes man-made laws to fulfil the colonialist agenda in the country. At the same time, the American State Department officials, ambassador, senators and congressmen also maintain heavy contact with the opposition to ensure that the US policies are not disrupted, until the ruling party is hated by the people, used up and spent. This is why the people sense “Baaree Baaree Siyasat” (“Turn by turn politics.”). So during the time of the PPP civilian government, PML-N made no significant agitations, awaiting its turn. Now, during the time of PML-N, the PPP is doing the same, in accordance to the will of the puppet masters sitting in Washington. The PTI will not end the B-team politics either as it too is part of the Democratic set-up. It will secure the American agenda through Democracy once it enters rule and then when it is used up and spent, another will replace it.

The Muslims of Pakistan do not need changes in faces. They need the abolition of Democracy and the return of the Khilafah. Only then will there be laws derived exclusively from the Quran and Sunnah, rather than based on the whims and desires of men, shutting out the colonialist interests in the region forever.
