News:

More than a thousand of MPs, members of Provincial Councils, tribal leaders and influential people gathered yesterday (03/09/13) in Kabul. They asked Afghan government to consider the security situation of the country and postpone the Provincial and Presidential Elections of April 2014. They were consisted of elders, leaders and youths, who claimed that their movement is not backed by any party and it is purely from among the people.

Comment:

Democracy had no value in the Afghan society, from the very first day it stepped onto the Afghan soil. What is ironic is this movement is arranged by those who claimed the slogans of democratic freedoms and elections during 12 years of invasion. Meanwhile, during implementation of the so called democracy in the country, Afghans had only seen bloodshed and disrespect towards their Aqeedah. This is why, MPs and PC members, or those who oath to implement and support Western and Capitalist democracy and non-Islamic constitution, now turned against it.

Particular facts behind this scenario that explains why they are trying to throw away democratic values are as under:

The people who denied communism and fought against it for a long time in the past, could not ignore the political advantages and vast amount of money poured into the country by the West. So at first they started to implement the Western imported system that brought nothing except poverty, unemployment, adultery, corruption and "Fitnah" to the Muslims of Afghanistan. Thus, after a long time this spectrum of people awakened and turned against democracy.

During past two presidential and parliamentary elections, the Elections Commission and Western Advisors proved that elections in the presence of colonialism means nothing. By considering the huge corruption and fraud in the elections, only those become president, Member of Parliament or Member of Provincial Councils, who are most committed to the Western and Democratic values. Therefore, people don't have belief in the process, its value and its significance in their lives...

As a result of political and intellectual struggle by Hizb ut Tahrir particularly in the provinces with low level of war, has paved the way for the people to understand the Shari'ah Law and differentiate it from democracy, elections, Western concepts and that the current government is a puppet of the US   and is implementing western agenda in the country. This struggle, nevertheless, will continue with its energy and significance towards the Islamic awakening in this part of the Islamic land.

A hard and strong resistance against US and NATO occupation in major parts of the country, turned these areas into "no election zones". The vote boxes are filled in the provincial capitals in the favor of those candidates who pays more than the others, who consequently win the so-called elections.

In the meantime, the lack of an industrial and economic progress and as well as the lack of a real, ideological and people backed party, only paved the way for those who accept western values and concepts and stand before any foreign embassy for political support, thus the successful candidates become real puppets.

In another scene, the Kafir West before elections has raised many issues to preserve its occupation and colonialism in the country.

The West tried to bring forward those distinguished individuals and parties before elections under one umbrella which is called National Ijma'a (National Consensus), so specific candidates will have the chance to announce their commitment to the western ideology. This concept is portrayed and carried by Zalmay Khalilzad, an American politician who is natively an Afghan. On the other hand, this concept is further developed by western technocrats like Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, Ali Ahmad Jalali and Anwarul Haq Ahadi.

As it is mentioned in the news above, another western agenda is to create an alternative through Karzai's team. And that will be an interim government in case if the Elections are faced with a boycott by the people that will be expressed either via Loya Jirga or other means. And this can be achieved through insecurity. So, this is another possible mean that will finally lead to an emergency situation that will result to an interim government.

Another issue that is pursued in both cases, is the peace process with armed anti-government forces. Attempts will be made on a permanent base in order to make peace with them based on American conditions and also the way for any changes in the constitution will be open. This is an issue that seems to be followed in both cases.

Therefore, such electoral coalitions which are made of former Mujahidin and some criminals, has zero influence among ordinary people and they are perceived as stock companies trying to play with the fate of Muslims in Afghanistan. They only try to gain political and financial advantages, therefore no one believes them. In the meantime, Western technocrats also have nearly zero level of influence among ordinary people, as they have shown their full capacity in the ministries. Furthermore, they only try to retain the interests of the West and don't care about people's standard of living.

Despite the above mentioned points, Afghan government claims that it sense no security threats in 3435 polling centers from total of seven thousand. Remaining centers are completely under control of the armed anti-government elements.

In conclusion, the US led invasion in the past 12 years, made Afghanistan a hell to Afghans. This is achieved by their manmade laws, plans and concepts which are implemented through brutal bombardments and direct occupation. But the time has come that Democracy gives its last breaths in itself mad hell, and no Muslim will desire to live under Democracy in the future.
