In order to protest the atrocious “terrorist” acts over the recent days and with the aim of drawing attention to the colonialists behind these attacks, Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Turkey held press statements in Istanbul, Bursa, Ankara, Mersin and Sanliurfa on the blessed day of Friday. The press statements were held following the funeral prayer in absence held for the Muslims who lost their lives due to the “terrorist” attacks in Van, Elazig, Diyarbakir, Gaziantep, Halep, Gaza, and the latest attack today in Cizre.
The following statements were highlighted in the press statement participated by the Ummah:
Those in actual authority for the “terrorist” incidents, massacres and the entire rottenness in our country and the Muslim world are the capitalist states built upon the basis of democracy and secularism. Consequently, the instigators of these entire “terrorist” acts are the capitalist colonial Western states. Namely, America, England, Russia, France and the other colonial powers. Because there is no massacre and no crime these imperialist states would not do for their own interests. After the destruction of the Ottoman Khilafah State, the world came under the dominance of these Kuffar states, thus turning the world literally into a sea of blood. These Western states, who compete with each other in their hostility towards Islam and the Muslims, have supported all kinds of oppression and attacks against the Muslims through the hands of their local collaborators. The events of the night of July 15 and all the “terror” incidents occurring in our country for years are incidents actually organized by them. So why are friendships still made with our enemies under the presumption of real politics and political conjuncture? Which intellect, which person with a sense of conscience and responsibility can be friend and ally with the murderer of its people? Yet heed what our Lord says: ﴿وَلَن تَرْضَى عَنكَ الْيَهُودُ وَلاَ النَّصَارَى حَتَّى تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ﴾ “And never will the Jews or the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion.” [al-Baqara: 120]
O Muslims! Not a single day goes by without a new “terrorist” attack! Not a single day goes by where not a massacre occurs towards the Muslims! Can you tell me, how much longer are we going to tolerate these savage attacks? So say then, how long will the ember burn where it falls? How many more innocent children will be slaughtered? Can you tell who is going to stop these rampaging “terrorist” states, these stone-hearted butchers, these fiends void of any humane values? Who is going to put an end to these massacres and attacks? For the sake of Allah, for the sake of His Messenger, say, who will save the Muslims from being oppressed and murdered?
Is it those who consider an agreement with the Jewish entity in Palestine as an obligation? Is it those who said we are in need of ‘Israel’ in the region – who showered bombs upon Gaza and who occupied Al-Aqsa, one of the three sacred places of the Muslims in this world, just five days ago? Who are those who trust in these invading Jews, who even broke their covenant to Allah and His Messengers?
Or who are those who seek peace with the tyrant Assad, who slaughtered more than 500,000 Muslims, whose Shabbiha dishonoured thousands of our sisters and murdered more than 100,000 children?? Is it those who can hardly wait to shake the bloody hand of killer Assad??
Or is it those who strive against the subcontractors of “terror”, but fail to utter a single word against the colonial states behind it? Is it those cowards who shout their heads off by saying the Master Mind is on, but who are too scared to tell which state or who the Master Mind is?
O Muslims! In fact, the colonialists are not scared when murdering! The Jews do not hesitate when bombing! The “terrorists” are fearless when in action! But your rulers are fear of the colonialist Kuffar! Is not Allah Azza wa Jal the most worthy to be feared of in this world? See how our Lord calls out to those rulers who know that the true perpetrators of these “terror” incidents are the colonialist states, rather they still insist on making friendship pacts with them, still accepting them as allies, keeping their ambassadors who are the perpetrators of “terror”, on these soils: ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَتَّخِذُواْ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى أَوْلِيَاء بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاء بَعْضٍ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ﴾ “O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you – then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.” [al-Ma’idah: 51]
O Leaders! Are you hoping for the help of those Kuffar whom Allah Azza wa Jal exposes as enemies? How can you continue to shake hands with the colonialist states behind the “terrorist” incidents, and how can you host these killers in the palaces, which as you say, belong to the Ummah? How can you now move your army – which you were not able to move while tyrant Assad according to the demands of America murdered young and old, women, men and children in the hundreds of thousands?
O Rulers! Indeed, dignity and power belong to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Therefore, work only to please our Lord! Because pleasing America means betraying the Muslims, for the whole world knows very well how the murderer America treats the Muslims. So stay away from it and its politics! Obey Islam and the laws of the Shariah! By Allah, this will be best for you in this world and in the Hereafter!
O Muslims! We are a distinguished Ummah, who believe in the same Allah, who take Him as god, and embrace His Messenger as our counsellor and guide. We are the best nation, enjoining the good and forbidding the evil. We are the glorious Ummah who fought at the Dardanelles and in Kut Al Amara against the Kuffar as a single body. And if we now become a single Ummah again, we will be able to deal with the true perpetrators behind these “terrorist” incidents. As is well known, “The kuffar are a single nation.” Therefore, we need to stand against the Kuffar in a single body. If they are able to take common action against the Muslims, despite the loads of controversy and political struggles between them; why can’t we be united, in spite of having the same Deen, the same history and same culture? Why can’t we act commonly, although we are a single nation? Because, despite this Ummah has a huge body, it is headless. However, as Rasulallah (saw) said in a Hadith: «إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ» “The Imam is a shield, behind whom you fight and protect yourself” – this head is a rightly guided Khalifah (Khalifah Rashidah), who will unite the Muslims under one roof. What will unite the Muslims under one roof, as it did in the past, is the Khilafah Rashidah upon the Method of Prophethood? It is the Khilafah Rashidah, which the colonialist West tried to destruct for centuries and which it seeks to prevent from re-establishment with all means. Therefore, this is what the Muslims should strive for, since this is the only solution to all problems including the problem of “terror”. This is the glad tiding of liberation of Rasulallah Sallallahu Aleyhi wa Sallam. So we call, as our Lord commanded: ﴿لِمِثْلِ هَذَا فَلْيَعْمَلْ الْعَامِلُونَ﴾ “For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work.” [As-Saffat: 61]
