« لعنة الله على الراشي والمرتشي »
Allah's Curse is on the Briber and the Bribed [Rawah u Ibn-Majah and Al-Tirmidhi]
(Translated)

According to the report released by the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime in Afghanistan on Thursday, 07 February 2013, bribes paid in the country in 2012 totaled 3.9 billion USD, almost a quarter of the entire amount of aid the international community has pledged to Afghanistan in the Tokyo Conference equaling to the country's GDP from the last two years. However the total amount of the bribes paid to the officials in 2010 tolled to a sum of $2.5 billion.

It is a shame for us Muslims in Afghanistan, because all the miseries such as colonialism, oppression and corruption are the obvious side-effects of the capitalistic democracy implemented on us by the Western colonialists, although Allah (swt) has revealed the best system to us. The Afghan government has been trying to at least reduce the level of corruption and extortion through its legislative amendments and reforms, but they are much ignorant to realize that capitalism itself is feeding the troll, not to mention that it is not being implemented wholeheartedly.

Imposing the capitalistic democracy on the Muslim and Mujahid people of Afghanistan has brought and broadened immorality, corruption, kidnapping, severe poverty and many other calamities to this part of Ummah. Capitalism has spread the behaviors called {eating of "suht"}, which means earning and devouring the forbidden, which was the attitude of the cursed ones at the time of the Prophet (saw). The rulers, judges, authorities and everyone else are plagued by the severe epidemic of extortion that emanated from nothing except capitalism, which has been challenging the rightful ones and supporting the deceitful.

It is therefore, upon the Muslims in Afghanistan to stand against the rotten and corrupt capitalistic democracy which has been imposed on them by the western crusaders and their slaves for more than 12 years.
