Last week the barbaric crusader force NATO again violated Pakistani airspace and launched a callous attack on two Pakistani border check posts, killing 24 soldiers and wounding several others. The attack is the latest episode of NATO's flagrant violation of Pakistani sovereignty, which in conjunction with America routinely carries out vicious drone strikes that have slaughtered countless innocent civilians.
When killing Pakistani civilians is not enough to satisfy their thirst for Muslim blood, NATO and America occasionally kill Pakistani soldiers and then apportion the blame on the Pakistanis for starting the confrontation. But in all such incidents the lack of physical response from the Pakistani army only emboldens NATO and bolsters America's will to carry out further raids.

Earlier this year, America undertook a prolonged violation of Pakistani sovereignty and launched a daring raid in Abbotabad that again went unchallenged. Pakistanis to this day are angry at the army and many suspect Kayani for aiding and abetting America.

The ease at which NATO and America violate Pakistan's sovereignty to carry out drone strikes, land operations, reconnaissance missions, and other non-military activities such as interference in the judicial system to secure the release of Raymond Davis is extremely worrisome, especially as the response from both the government and the army is always tough on rhetoric but empty on concrete actions. Meek actions like the temporary closure of the Afghan-Pak border to prevent convoys laden with fuel and goods from reaching NATO are not enough. It only adds insult to injury. By choosing not to stand up to the crusaders, Kiyani and Zardari are keen to humiliate Pakistanis further. Both have spearheaded America's crusade by granting America full access to kill, maim, torture and displace Pakistanis in the tribal areas. Their foremost concern is to protect their alliance with the American crusaders. Allah says in the Quran: "O ye who believe! Choose not My enemy and your enemy for friends. Do ye give them friendship when they disbelieve in that truth which hath come unto you, driving out the messenger and you because ye believe in Allah, your Lord? "[TMQ Al Mumtahina:1]

If the reaction of Kayani and Zardari is bad enough, the reaction from Pakistan's political establishment is even worse. Some of these politicians who advocate a tough response have earlier been exposed for siding with America's war against Islam. Their stance only smacks of hypocrisy and their treachery reeks of evilness. Allah promises the hypocrites a severe punishment. He (SWT) says:"To the Hypocrites give the glad tidings that there is for them a grievous penalty."[TMQ: Al Maida:138].

It is up to the Muslims of Pakistan to press sincere officers and soldiers in the army to immediately implement the following actions:
1. Permanently sever the NATO supply line and seize all equipment and fuel.

2. Close all airbases and waterways to NATO and American personnel. All military personnel, embassy staff belonging to Western forces are to be ejected from Pakistan.

3. Terminate all western led military training programmes and military aid
4. Dismantle all American death squads that operate with impunity in Pakistan.
5. Stop all forms of intelligence sharing with NATO, CIA and other foreign agencies.
6. Press Turkey and other Muslim countries to withdraw all forms of assistance to NATO and the American crusader.
7. Shoot down any predator drone and NATO aircraft that violates Pakistani airspace.
The above actions are temporary measures to prevent the crusaders from violating Pakistan's sovereignty. A more permanent solution requires the Pakistani people to work jointly with the people of power to re-establish the Islamic state. Only then will the crusaders be vanquished and removed from Pakistan.
