On 19th May 2014, many news agencies including AP, CBS and the Guardian reported that a top White House official has assured the deans of prominent U.S. public health schools that the CIA will no longer use vaccination programs as cover for spying operations. The agency used the ruse in targeting Osama bin Laden before the U.S. raid that killed him in 2011. Lisa Monaco, President Barack Obama's top counterterrorism adviser, wrote to the deans of 13 public health schools last week, saying that the CIA has agreed it would no longer use vaccination programs or workers for intelligence purposes. The agency also agreed to not use genetic materials obtained through such programs.

Comment

CIA has finally admitted that it used the polio vaccination program in the country as a shield to hide its nefarious designs against the sovereignty of Pakistan. The health and safety of the Muslim children means nothing to world's greatest capitalist and democratic country US, whose sole purpose is to safeguard its own national interests. This has also proved that the US is not sincere in its so called efforts to eradicate polio from Pakistan, Nigeria and Afghanistan as professed in Obama's high profile address to the Muslim world in 2009. The fact of the matter is that polio cases have increased since the polio eradication campaigns have been organized under the banner of world health organization. According to the report by the health organization, Pakistan was the only country with reported endemic polio that saw a rise in new cases in 2012. Pakistan accounted for more than a fifth of all polio cases identified across the world in 2013. How can a country involved in killings of thousands of Muslim children around the world in Afghanistan, Iraq and Northern areas of Pakistan and the silent abettor of killings in Syria, Burma, Nigeria and other places be considered benevolent helper for the health care of the very Muslims it aims to annihilate?

More over, many cases have been reported in Pakistan where children died after being vaccinated as expired vaccines or vaccines under heated and unhygienic conditions were used, which only reiterates the need for an authority and state which is sincere to the cause of Muslims and really takes care of the affairs of the Muslims, men, women and children. As long as the Muslim rulers are blindly following the agenda of their foreign masters, the incidents like using health care programs for the security of western interests will keep happening. Khilafah "Caliphate" is the only state that prioritizes the health, safety and security of its own citizens and does not allows any foreign interference in its affairs. Only Khilafah "Caliphate" can protect the Muslim children hence all efforts should be made to restore it as soon as possible. Allah (swt) has said,

((يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَتَّخِذُواْ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى أَوْلِيَاء بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاء بَعْضٍ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ))

"... Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust" [al-Maida, 51]

Also, 'Abdullah ibn Dinar related from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said,

«كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْؤول عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ، الإِمَامُ رَاعٍ وَمَسْؤولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ»

"All of you are shepherds and each of you is responsible for his flock. An Imam is a shepherd and he is responsible for those in his care.'' (Bukhari)
