Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Pakistan firmly rejects the welcoming of US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, and the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, General Joseph F. Dunford, by the new rulers of Pakistan on 5 September 2018. The visit by the US military and political leadership is to secure the US presence in Afghanistan, by insisting Pakistan employs both force and persuasion to bring the Afghan Taliban to negotiations. This is why the US Pentagon has taken steps to cancel $300 million Coalition Support Fund on 1 September 2018, on the grounds that Pakistan must do more to end the fierce Afghan armed resistance that has brought US occupying forces to their knees.
Despite maintaining a pretense of “independence”, Pakistan’s rulers meet with US officials extensively to negotiate plans, even though the US presence in the region remains a real threat to Pakistan and its nuclear assets. Pakistan’s military and political leadership maintains intimate contact with the US even though the US presence holds open the doors of Afghanistan to India, so that it enjoys unprecedented presence and influence there, which the Hindu State has been using as a base to ignite the fires of chaos and Fitna throughout Pakistan. Is it not upon the rulers to permanently cut the supply line to the US troops that runs through Pakistan? Is it not upon the rulers to round up and expel the US private military and intelligence that orchestrated attacks on our Armed Forces to impose their war on us? Is it not time to seal the US embassy and consulates, which function as intelligence gathering outposts for the US State Department and Pentagon? Is it not upon the rulers to urge the sincere tribal fighters to fight, until they expel the American crusaders, as they expelled the British Imperialists and Soviet Russians before them? Is it not upon the rulers to openly announce rejection of any talks with the Americans to legitimize their permanent presence on the door step of the world’s only Muslim nuclear power?
It is clear that the rulers’ talk of “independence” and the Madinah State is just talk. It is time for the Muslims to insist on nothing less than the ruling by all that Allah swt has revealed, which alone will dignify us in Dunyah and raise our status in the Aakhira. Indeed, the guaranteed source of strength for Muslims is the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood. It alone will cut the thin thread by which the US presence hangs in the region by severing the NATO supply line, expelling its private military and intelligence and sealing the spy posts disguised as an embassy and consulates. It alone will mobilize all our abundant resources for the service of Islam and Muslims. It alone will work to unify all the current states of Muslims into the single most resourceful state in the world. Allah (swt) said,
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 power with them? Verily, then to Allah belongs all power.”
