Mandegar Daily Should Explain: Whether a Paper for Ummah or for Colonialism
(Translated)

On Saturday, May 18th 2013, the Mandegar Daily accused Hizb ut Tahrir on their website in an article titled: "What poisoned the school students this time?" which included the following: "Everyone knows that the extremist groups such as Taliban and Hizb ut Tahrir and...are against education for girls. These groups have always been trying to interrupt the educational process. These groups have been witnessed many times to be killing Mullah Imams of Mosques, school teachers and students, igniting Masajed and schools on fire and ...and it is of course undeniably criminal acts."

We, the Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Afghanistan, strongly reject such baseless accusations and officially ask the Mandegar Daily management to immediately retract their accusations and publish the upcoming "Sokhan-e Roz" exclusively to express their regret of publicizing such allegations against the Hizb. They should revive the Hizb's goodwill among their patrons by officially asking apologies from the Hizb through their website. Or else be notoriously known as a liar and a deceptive propagating tool, who is giving a hand to the western crusaders.

The Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Afghanistan considers the issue in two points;

First; it seems that the Mandegar Daily is used to its shallow analogy and generalizes the outcome they sense is true. They generalize their one-dimensional sight when exploring cases and political issues, which is a severe flaw in journalism for a well-known paper. They, therefore, enlisted Hizb ut Tahrir in their accusation without a single proof for their claims.

Second; or are they also among such media and commentary station that have accepted western serfdom that distort the facts and truth among the Muslim Ummah. And with full coordination with the western intelligence sanctuaries (embassies), they are proliferating in favor of the crusaders.

In the case of the Mandegar Daily, Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Afghanistan considers the first. However, it doesn't deny the second probability, as western funds have been flowing into the media in Afghanistan for a long time. Every Muslim, probably you either, know that Hizb ut Tahrir has a very active women branch world-wide, which is represented by a Muslimah whose name is Dr. Nazreen Nawaz. The women of Hizb ut Tahrir are working throughout the Muslim world to enhance the role of Muslim women to participate in the Dawah towards revival of a true Islamic life under the banner of the Khilafah "Caliphate", with their brothers. They are working tirelessly to spread the Dawah to the rest of the Muslim women all across the globe. One should consider before accusing, that had the Hizb opposed women in terms of education, Dawah, and their participation in Islamic intellectual battle against that of the west and political activism in the community, it would have never included them as a strong part of the Dawah carriers!

Finally, it is obvious Hizb ut Tahrir is a global political party that works to revive the Islamic way of life among the Muslim Ummah, only through political and intellectual means, which the Hizb believes is truly the method of our beloved Prophet (saw). So, until the time the Khilafah "Caliphate" is not re-established, the Hizb is committed not to take any physical actions.

The Hizb is renown internationally through its remarkable media power, for its Islamic concepts that under the Islamic social system, men and women have their own obligations and status in terms of education and participation in social activities. However, misery came from capitalism in which men exploit women as economic goods which is completely against her nature (fitrah) of motherhood and purity (ef'fah). Hizb ut Tahrir has reiterated many times that Khilafah "Caliphate" is the only system that can prepare the true Islamic conditions for women to participate in intellectual and political activities in society, which no other system can achieve. And truly, women are never discriminated in any aspects of life, under the Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate". Men and women under the divine rules of Islam, have rather their exclusive and noble rights such as; citizenship, education, business and so on. In the end, we call upon the Mandegar Daily editors to fear Allah (swt) who says in His Quran;

(مَا يَلْفِظُ مِن قَوْلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيْهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٌ)

"Not a word does he (or she) utter, but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it)." (Surah Qaf, 18)
