End the US Presence in Pakistan, the Cause of Bombings and Insecurity

In the build-up for talks between Pakistan's rulers and their American masters in Washington, in the last week of January 2014, Pakistan was rocked yet again by a campaign of bomb blasts and assassinations, targeting both its civilians and its armed forces. The Raheel-Nawaz regime then mobilized to exploit this ruthless and bloody campaign for building support for military operations in Waziristan, an area that has been the launching pad for significant attacks against the occupying forces of America in Afghanistan, which have bruised their ribs and gripped their hearts with fear.

As for the evil campaign of bombings in Pakistan, those who are well informed of matters know well that American intelligence has infiltrated the loose tribal networks many years ago. This campaign of chaos is the direct outcome of American foreign policy, specifically the policies of low intensity conflict and covert, "black" operations. It is such low intensity conflict which destroys internal stability, strains our capability, strangulates our potential and justifies repeated American interference to ask us to "do more." And it is the covert operations, such as "false flag" attacks in the name of the enemy, which are an American ploy, practiced by its intelligence agencies all over the world from Latin America to South East Asia, to make sure that conflict continues by burning the country in the fires of confusion and insecurity. This is actually why on 1 December 2009, US President Obama declared, "There have been those who have said fighting against extremism is not their fight... as innocents have been killed from Karachi to Islamabad, it has become clear that it is the Pakistani people who are the most endangered by extremism."

Such chaos in Pakistan benefits America alone. It wants the Pakistan military to target tribal fighters who are crossing the border with Afghanistan to fight the American occupation in Afghanistan. America instigates such chaos as it knows well about the strong Islamic sentiments in Pakistan's armed forces which motivated it to play a major role in causing the collapse of the super power of its time, the Soviet Russia, by supporting the tribal Muslims against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. However, having occupied Afghanistan itself, America now regards this goodness as a grave and imminent threat to its occupation in Afghanistan. And above all, America fears deeply that the armed forces will do their duty and grant support for the return of the Khilafah "Caliphate" to these Muslim Lands, a matter that keeps them awake in their beds for it will mark the end of American hegemony in the region. In November 2009 an American press article called, "Defending the Arsenal- In an unstable Pakistan, can nuclear warheads be kept safe?" stated, "The principal fear is mutiny-that extremists inside the Pakistani military might stage a coup...A senior Obama Administration official brought up Hizb ut-Tahrir...whose goal is to establish the Caliphate (Khilafah "Caliphate"). 'They've penetrated the Pakistani military and now have cells in the Army.'"

As for the operations in Waziristan themselves, America needs them now more than ever. With its economy collapsing if it has not collapsed completely already, its armed forces demoralized and steeped in cowardice, America is desperate to secure a permanent presence for itself in Afghanistan through negotiations, after a limited withdrawal. That is why it has mobilized traitors within the leadership of Pakistan to raise hue and cry for operations and negotiations. Not only does America seek to achieve a victory that it could never achieve for itself, Muslims suffer further losses for the sake of America's security, just as they suffered during previous operations. Muslims are displaced from their homes, the country is plunged into insecurity and the largest Muslim army, with hundreds of thousands of brave men, yearning for martyrdom or victory, will be reduced to a mercenary force to defend the cowardly American military forces from certain humiliation. And Muslims on both sides kill Muslims yet again to advance the aims of the Kuffar, earning the anger of Allah (swt). Allah (swt) said,

[وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمً]

"And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his Recompense is Hell to abide therein, and the Wrath and the Curse of Allah are upon him, and a great punishment is prepared for Him." [Surah An-Nisa 4:93]

And RasulAllah (saw) said,

"إذا التقى المسلمان بسيفيهما فالقاتل والمقتول في النار , قلنا يا رسول الله هذا القاتل فما بال المقتول قال انه كان حريصا على قتل صاحبه"

"When two Muslims face each other in fighting and one kills the other, then both the killer and the killed are in the hell-fire." The Companions asked, "O Messenger of Allah, this is the killer - what about the poor person who has been killed?" The Prophet (saw) said, "He had the intention to kill his companion."

O Muslims of Pakistan!

Unless and until Pakistan is purified of all American presence, our armed forces and tribal people will burn in this war of Fitna. Our military must act to close American Embassy, expel US diplomats including its ambassador and expel its military and intelligence operatives. And our tribal people must eliminate all miscreants from within their ranks, who call for attacks on Pakistan armed forces, rather than seeking their support to establish Khilafah "Caliphate" through them. It is upon us to ensure that our armed forces and tribal fighters both turn their fire and steel against the American presence, which is the source of the intricate planning, huge funding and sophisticated arms supply that has allowed the targeting of military and civilian targets for so long. As long as this American presence exists on our soil, we will never see an end to this devastating war, even if we were to lose far more than we have already lost. And be assured, upon the return of our Khilafah "Caliphate", which is very soon inshaaAllah, both our armed forces and tribal fighters will be mobilized without delay to strike at America's presence in the region in a way that will strike fear in their hearts, scare the Shaytaan out from their beings and smash their ambition against this Ummah to smithereens.

So, join your nights and days in the noble work for re-establishing the Khilafah "Caliphate", as the Shebaab of Hizb ut Tahrir do. Stand side to side with the shebaab and mobilize the Muslims of Pakistan in a vibrant, powerful wave for real change. Let no Masjid, school, university campus, market, office be deprived of the call for the Khilafah "Caliphate". Use your ingenuity to use all the means and styles that Allah (swt) has availed for you to carry the call loud and clear, whether it is by discussions, bayyans, dars, SMS, e-mail, radio or even television broadcast. Let the call for Khilafah "Caliphate" resound throughout this land and within this part of the Islamic Ummah. And call your sons, brothers, fathers and uncles in the Pakistan armed forces to deliver a death blow to the American presence in the region by giving the Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir for the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate", which will end the tide of humiliation and defeat and usher in an era of honour, power and glory.

[وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ]

"But honour, power and glory belong to Allâh, and to His Messenger (Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]), and to the believers, but the hypocrites know not." [Surah al-Munafiqoun 63:8]
