“O You who believe, take not my enemies and your enemies (disbelievers and polytheists) as friends”
(Translated)
On 9th May 2013, while addressing a gathering at Kabul University, Hamid Karzai said that U.S. security pact negotiations are on their way. He said, “America wants to ensure nine military bases across Afghanistan after 2014.” According to him, these nine bases would be spread throughout Kabul, Bagram, Mazar-e-Sharif, Jalalabad, Gardez, Qandahar, Helmand, Shen-Dand and Hirat. In addition, he said that Afghanistan too has demands and conditions in the security pact, which includes, the security of Afghanistan, training and strengthening the security forces of Afghanistan, strengthening infrastructure and economic resources of Afghanistan. Karzai also said, “I am ready to allow the U.S. to establish its military bases on the conditions we have put forward.” Furthermore, Karzai said, that the relationship of Afghanistan with the U.S. and NATO forces is in the interest of Afghanistan.
Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Afghanistan condemns the whole process in the strongest possible words and calls upon the Ummah to realize the following points based on an Islamic viewpoint:
- Just recently the U.S. by using its puppet rulers, managed to create tension between Afghanistan and Pakistan on the border area of Goshta (district of Ningarhar), to convince the people of Afghanistan that it is in their interest to agree to the U.S. demands of having military bases in Afghanistan. These tensions are the joint endeavor of the U.S. and the rulers on both sides of the border to pave the way for signing the strategic pact. We all know that the government of Afghanistan has agreed and signed a joint agreement between U.S., NATO and Pakistani forces that allows Pakistan to take control of various checkpoints along the border between the two countries. However, when Pakistani forces started acting on the agreement, the Afghani government ordered their forces to attack Pakistani forces, which caused the conflict between Muslims on both sides of the Durand border - the legacy of the master of colonialism: the British Empire.
- Taking the Kaffir crusaders as allies and seeking their military assistance is absolutely forbidden in Islam. Yet Karzai, who got himself elected through fraudulent democratic elections, acts as if the people of Afghanistan are in favor of allowing the U.S. nine military bases in Afghanistan. However, the reality is that the Mujahid nation of Afghanistan is not ready to ask anything from anyone except Allah (swt). So how could this friendship with the U.S. and NATO be better for the Muslims of Afghanistan, which has brought nothing by miseries, insult, abhorrence, poverty, obscenity and corruption to Afghanistan and its people?
- On the other hand, Karzai and his likes believe that by enslaving themselves and obeying demands, his master will grant them reverence and will keep them in authority forever. However Allah (swt) has clearly said that such expectation and hopes are imaginative and hypocritical.
((بَشِّرِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ بِأَنَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا، الَّذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِنْ دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَيَبْتَغُونَ عِنْدَهُمُ الْعِزَّةَ فَإِنَّ الْعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًا))
“Give glad tidings to the hypocrites that for them there is a painful punishment. Those who take unbelievers for guides instead of believers, are they seeking might with them? Surely, the might altogether belongs to Allah.” [TMQ An-Nisa: 138-139]
In the past, we know that the Mujahid nation of Afghanistan stood against the invasion of U.S.S.R only to attain the pleasure of Allah (swt), more than 2 million Muslims had sacrificed their lives for the sake of Allah (swt) and his Deen that resulted in a humiliating defeat of the enemies. What has happened to these people who do not raise their voice against the Kafir conspiracies against the Muslims? Yes, we have people with firm belief and unwavering resolve in this country who will not allow Karzai and his likes to sell the land of martyrs to the Kafir colonialists.
The Muslims of Afghanistan should understand the reality of the Ummah around the world, as the Islamic Ummah is moving fast towards the Islamic awareness. Soon the Khilafah (which will truly give honor to the Ummah and implement Islam) will be established to reunify the Islamic lands under its shade in one unified state.
O Muslims of Afghanistan: Do not allow these traitor rulers to sell the blood and sacrifice of the millions of Muslims, including those of the Sahaba (ra) to the Kuffar.

Abolish Democracy, Establish Khilafah
New Jockey for America’s Horse in Pakistan, Democracy
Through the 2013 elections, America now has a new jockey for its “horse in Pakistan”, democracy, as its Ambassador Mr. Olson called it. And throughout the election campaign, America was forced to breathe life into this dying and diseased horse. People have lost hope in democracy and see Islam as its replacement and only hope for the country. So, America’s agents tried to drown the Ummah with a campaign of billions of Rupees for democracy, in which multinational companies and some Ulemah were made to play their part. Despite this campaign, those who did vote, did not vote through a faith in democracy, but rather to try and save themselves from even more harm from America’s rabid horse. The opinion on the streets was that those who decided to vote, would vote for the “least worst” or the “best of the worst” or the “smaller thief over the bigger thief.” Such are the “high” standards that democracy has set!
The new jockey of America’s horse will subjugate Pakistan even more before India, as per his American masters’ instruction, who ordered and forbid him through his previous two terms, to the point that the people prayed for the immediate end of his rule. Already, the incoming jockey disclosed his intention regarding surrender before India, before a group of Indian journalists, in such a submissive and shameless manner, that a leading Urdu national daily wrote in its editorial, asking him, “Are you going to contest this election in Pakistan or in India?” The new jockey will facilitate America in order to secure permanent bases in Afghanistan, under the guise of a limited, partial withdrawal. By doing so he will grant a “permanent stay visa” to hostile colonialist forces on the door step of the world’s sole Muslim power, to conspire and ignite a war of Fitna, as it has been doing since the beginning of its crusade. This new jockey will implement the IMF’s budget for Pakistan, further burdening the people by imposing increased taxes, crippling Pakistan’s industry that is already reeling from rampant inflation and energy shortages. And not only will he provide cover for Kayani’s treachery, the jockey will pave the way for Kayani’s promotion as a five star, powerful Chief of Defence Staff, a post to be created as a reward from America for burning our armed forces as fuel for its crusade.
Now that the people have seen “no change,” it’s time to work for real change, by abolishing democracy and establishing Khilafah.

Abolish Democracy, Establish Khilafah
Kayani-Sharif Regime Bows before India, even before Nawaz Sharif Takes the Oath of Office!
Pakistan’s Prime Minister in waiting, Nawaz Sharif, has bowed in front of India, even before taking the oath of office, under the watchful eye of America’s key agent in Pakistan, Kayani. So the Kayani-Sharif regime has already proved that it is the new jockey of America’s horse in Pakistan, democracy, and is the true successor of the Musharaf-Aziz and Kayani-Zardari legacy. Talking to foreign news journalists, Nawaz Sharif extended an invitation to the Prime Minister of India, to attend his oath ceremony. Prior to this, Nawaz had already stated on an Indian TV channel that he will visit India, whether India invites him or not. First, the Musharraf-Aziz, then the Kayani-Zardari regime and now the Kayani-Sharif regime desire to please India consistently by any means, regardless of the humiliation. This is the result of an American policy which wants to place India in front of China, by weakening Pakistan to a submissive state before India, rather than achieving its true potential as the nucleus of a global Khilafah state.
During the last decade, Indian rulers rejected arrogantly the invitation to tour Pakistan, extended by Pakistani rulers. But one after another, who ever came into power, Pakistan’s rulers never dared to oppose the American policy to appease India. How humiliating it is that a Kaffir Mushrik Hindu consistently rejects offers, but the rulers of Muslim Pakistan are shameless in bowing in front of them. Does Nawaz Sharif not know that even today almost seven hundred thousand Indian forces in occupied Kashmir are killing the Muslims and dishonoring their women? Does he not consider that the pure and blessed blood of more than one hundred thousand martyrs in occupied Kashmir is of more value than having trade with India? Does he not care that India is working to make the fertile lands of Pakistan barren, by building several dams in occupied Kashmir? Does he not consider that India, with the protection and support of America, is interfering in Baluchistan and tribal areas through Afghanistan, but the Kayani-Sharif regime is assuring him that our land will not be used against India? And just a few days prior, one Pakistani prisoner was brutally killed in a jail of occupied Kashmir and India refused to provide protection to Pakistanis in India. Despite all of this, Mr. Nawaz Sharif still wants to embrace India, proving that democracy is America’s horse in Pakistan, as stated by the US Ambassador to Pakistan, Mr. Olson. And this is why the Kayani-Sharif regime will follow the footsteps of the Musharraf-Aziz and Kayani-Zardari regime. This new regime is so eager to implement American instructions, by bowing in front of India, that it has done so, even before Sharif has taken his oath!
O Muslims of Pakistan! Democracy always imposes and will continue to impose such disgraceful rulers who do not care about the interests of their people, or their dignity and honor. Democracy allows rulers to have regard and value only for America and the enemy Kuffar. You must arise to abolish democracy and become part of 000 000’s work for the establishment of Khilafah under its Ameer, Shaikh Ata Bin Khalil Abu Ar-Rashta. O sincere officers in the armed forces! Give Nusrah to 000 000 for the establishment of Khilafah and revive your thousand years of great history in this region.

Bashar Annihilates Women and Children Killing more than 800 in Banyas! Where are the Muslim Armies? Where are the Men?!
(Translated)
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and others, hundreds of women and children were killed in many neighborhoods throughout the Syrian city of Banyas, and are witnessing hundreds of families fleeing out of fear of "new massacres" after the massacre in the neighboring city of al-Bayda. This escape is happening following the intensification of field executions by the regime forces and their loyal militias in al-Bayda, where 29 civiliansincluding six children were killed, the day after 150 people were executed; with some being slaughtered in city streets.
The series of murder, destruction, terror and intimidation by the killer Bashar and his repressive abhorrent regime with the on-going ugly massacres that is unprecedented in modern history. The massacres in al-Bayda and Banyas confirm that Bashar and his regime do not belong to the human race, for their hearts are hard like stone, in fact even harder, as it has been revealed that hundreds of victims were executed in cold blood, either shot, slaughtered or burned. According to the Revolution Military Council in Banyas, up until last night, the number of martyrs has reached 800 in al-Bayda alone, including entire families, mostly women, children and elderly, whose bodies filled streets and paths. There was talk of more than a hundred martyrs in the Ra's al-Nabi' area in the city of Banyas that was overrun by Bashar's Shabiha intent on murder and rape.
This all occurs while the international community, headed by America, stands by watching silently without any reaction, confirms their complicity and plotting, even though the United States, in the words of Jennifer Psaki, a spokeswoman for the U.S. State Department, continues in its duplicity and claims it is "horrified" at the reports of these massacres, while White House spokesman Josh Ernst stressed the need to bring those responsible for the grave violation of human rights and international law to account, as if it wasn't America that ordered these appalling massacres and butchery since it is in their interest. In light of the facts about the Syrian revolution and its Islamic orientation - to prolong the conflict, hence an Islamic State is not established that will threaten America's interests and threaten the existence of a Jewish state, to weaken the grip and steadfastness of the people of al-Sham and compel them to accept the proposed meager political solution that is far as possible of their aim of the establishment of the Islamic Khilafah.
The current regimes in the Arab and Islamic lands, rather the regimes of humiliation, the rulers of shame and lapdogs, are also complicit with this tyrant due to their cowardice and failure to rescue their people and brothers, in fact they conspire against them and their revolution. Furthermore, they are satisfied in receiving the fleeing refugees that arrive to their countries escaping from treachery, killing and slaughter; that is, if we transcendently call these death camps which imprison them as their welcome.
These agent-regimes have not mobilized a single soldier in their army, or fired a single bullet from their stockpiles filled with weapons and ammunition to rescue the women and children of al-Sham! Whereas under the Islamic State, the role of the Khilafah's army was to protect the Ummah and support it; in which the Khalifah would prepare the army and equipment; chanting Takbeer with soldiers following suit chanting "Go to Jihad" to triumph the Deen of Allah, to avenge a woman’s pleas for help and call for the Khaleefah, and to rescue a tormented elder or child. A single soldier with his Aqeedah and faith used to be equivalent to the enemy’s entire army, demonstrating the Almighty's saying:
((وَجَاهِدُوا فِي اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِ هُوَ اجْتَبَاكُمْ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ مِنْ حَرَجٍ مِّلَّةَ أَبِيكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ هُوَ سَمَّاكُمُ الْمُسْلِمينَ مِن قَبْلُ وَفِي هَذَا لِيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاء عَلَى النَّاسِ))
“And strive for Allah with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your father, Abraham. Allah named you "Muslims" before [in former scriptures] and in this [revelation] that the Messenger may be a witness over you and you may be witnesses over the people.”
Oh Armies stowed in your barracks:
Enough of your silence! Do the scenes of killing, slaughter, fire and rape carried out nonstop against women, children and elderly not infuriate you?! Where are the men of the men? Where are those who possess sincerity to their Deen and Ummah? Where are the decision makers that will retaliate for the honor of women, blood of the martyrs and the agony of the wounded?
You have not been gathered to protect the rulers or to fight against your brothers in Deen. Your place is not on these artificial borders that were made to implant conflict and division among the Muslims. Instead, your position is to defend your Islamic Ummah... Your role is to support the Haqq (Truth) and Deen, and to support those who want to resume Allah's Shariah to the Earth... We in Hizb ut Tahrir, under the leadership of the eminent scholar, the sincere leader Ata ibn Khalil Abu Rashta, call on you to give the Hizb the Nusrah to establish the Khilafah state to avenge your women and blood of your martyrs. So hasten oh armies… Be the supporters of Allah to attain glory in both worlds.
((فَآَتَاهُمُ اللهُ ثَوَابَ الدُّنْيَا وَحُسْنَ ثَوَابِ الآَخِرَةِ))
“So Allah gave them the reward of this world and the good reward of the Hereafter. And Allah loves the doers of good.”
