Press Release
White House Statements regarding Arrest of Muhammad Badie'!
(Translated)

Tuesday evening, the White House has expressed its objections to the arrest operation by the hands of the Egyptian authorities of the general guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, Muhammad Badie'.

The White House said: "The arrest of the general guide of the Brotherhood is not in line with the human rights that we believe in" and he also pointed to, "the arrest of Muhammad Badie' does not help in solving the crisis."

One is left confused by the impudence of the White House leader, and its deceptive media machine. The Prophet (saw) said: «إِذَا لَمْ تَسْتَحِ فَاصْنَعْ مَا شِئْتَ» "If you have no shame then do as you please." [By the authority of Ibn Majah]

The White House has no shame when it speaks of human rights, which it claims to believe in, while it is the hidden sponsor of the exposed massacres in Egypt!

Where are the human rights when the massacres are committed in Syria?! Where are the human rights when the drones attack the Muslims in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen?! Where are the human rights from the acts of the American criminals in the prisons of Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and Bagram, let alone the secret network of prisons that belong to the CIA? Let us not forget also the full support of America to the Jews and their massacres in Palestine, and their silence regarding the massacres that are committed against the Muslims in Chechnya, Kashmir and others!!

O Muslims: American does not care much about the arrest of the general guide, Muhammad Badie', or the killing of his son or even thousands more unjustly with hostility. What America cares for are its interests alone. America has no fixed or continuous friend but has fixed interests. This is why we warn everyone against placing their trust in America, the flag bearer of slaughter and betrayal.

But the question we want to pose to the Egyptian army is: Is it not it high time for your hearts to be humbled to the Zikr of Allah and what was revealed of the Haq (truth)? Is it not time for you to reject the poison of the West and to expel them from the Muslim lands and to absolutely forbid them from intervening in Egypt's affairs and the affairs of other Muslim countries? Is it not time that this army became the protective shield to the Muslim Ummah, instead of being the protective shield to the enemies of the Ummah and its interests? Is it not time for these armies to think about their greatest duty: which is to liberate Al-Aqsa?

We remind you of the noble Hadeeth, on the authority of Tirmidhi and narrated by the mother of the Believers Aisha (ra), The Prophet (saw) said:

«من أرضى الناس بسخط الله وكله الله إلى  الناس ومن أسخط الناس برضا الله كفاه الله مؤنة الناس» "The one who wants to please people by displeasing Allah, Allah will turn his affairs to the people, and the one who displeases people in order to please Allah, Allah will protect him from the people's wrath." You should seek the pleasure of your Lord by holding on to His rope and Shari'ah and to disbelief in Taghoot - and the head of Taghoot is man-made law regardless of its name and it is headed by Secular Democracy.

O Muslims, all of these catastrophes taking place in Egypt, and other places, are the natural result of the intervention of the West and East in our affairs. This would not have happened if the Khilafah "Caliphate" State had existed!

We call upon you to work with Hizb ut Tahrir to support this Deen and to give Bay'ah to a Khaleefah who will manage us by Allah's Shariah and end our bloodshed, protect our sanctities and honour; thereby achieve glory in this life and the Hereafter.

(هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا)

"It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Deen of Haqq, to make it dominant over all other ways of life and enough is Allah for a Witness." [Surah Al fatih: Aya 28]
