Press Release
The 8Subh Daily is Shaping Public Opinion in Favor of the Crusaders
(Translated)

On Tuesday, July 2, 2013, the 8Subh Daily published an article from the Le Monde Diplomatique, titled "Afghanistan's New Fundamentalist Players" translated into Dari. The article points out the US-Taliban peace talks, but it has tried to draw concerns to the future of the new growing fundamental movements. Besides many fallacies, the article wants to distort the public opinion in the country against Hizb ut Tahrir. "One fundamentalist group to have benefited from the social upheaval is Hizb ut Tahrir, a political party that was originally founded in Israel in the 1950s." Then the article furthers its deceitful and contradictory baseless quotes from Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Afghanistan's Spokesman, Saifullah Mustanir, that anyone, even barely familiar with Hizb's concepts, understands are wrong and self-made.

Hizb-ut Tahrir Wilayah Afghanistan Media Office calls upon the Afghan media outlet to consider the following points:

First; there are several Afghan media outlets that collect and publish, all reports fit with the Western agenda that accuse the Islamic parties with their deceitful terms such as fundamentalists, terrorists, extremists and so on. The western crusaders have intentionally fabricated these terms in order to mislead the notion of the Ummah from awakening and revival of the true Islamic life.

Second; we officially ask all the media outlets, not to publish any biased and one-sided articles on Hizb, before contacting Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Afghanistan Media Office Members. Otherwise, your good-will would be damaged among the Ummah, as unprofessional journalism and conspirator media service providers.

Third; recently such baseless reports on Hizb, have been increasingly published through the Afghan Media. It proves that Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Afghanistan has been as successful to expand its influence among different spectrums in the country, as the enemies of Muslims and Islam, can't tolerate. They, hence, are spreading such untruths against the Hizb.

Fourth; Hizb ut Tahrir is a political party, whose ideology is Islam, and whose objective is to revive the righteous Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate", by exactly following the Prophet's (saw) path. In 1953, Hizb ut Tahrir was founded in Palestine by Sheikh Taqiuddin An-Nabahani. And now the Hizb is led by the great Islamic Scholar, Engineer, Sheikh Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah throughout the world. Under the leadership of Abu Al-Rashtah, the Hizb has been working tirelessly, and now is seeking Nusrah to establish the Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate".

So at the end, it is worth mentioning that Hizb is in its last step of seeking to establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" exactly how it was carried out by the Prophet (saw), which is called the Nusrah Stage. And verily with support from our Allah (swt), the Ummah will conduct Bayah with the righteous Khaleefah. A government that will first unite the Ummah, then lead them towards prosperity in its lifetime and in the Hereafter.

[... لِّيَهْلِكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ عَن بَيِّنَةٍ وَيَحْيَى مَنْ حَيَّ عَن بَيِّنَةٍ ...]

"...so that those who were to be destroyed (for their rejecting the faith) might be destroyed after a clear evidence, and those who were to live (i.e. believers) might live after a clear evidence..." [TMQ Al-Anfal:42]
