Press Release
Oh Armies of Muslims: Who will Put an End to these Two Fools?!
(Translated)

Last night, satellite channels broadcast the reception ceremony for America's President Donald Trump for the Prime Minister of Jewish entity, along with the press conference that preceded their talks. Trump appeared as a clown aiming to amuse the audience watching him, with his reckless statements about the Gaza Strip, and his intention to empty it of its people and impose American control over it.

We will not comment on the shame that befell the American people as a result of their clown president’s statements, making them a laughingstock before the whole world, nor on the reactions of world leaders and their foreign ministers rejecting these absurd statements, describing them as contrary to international law, nor on the statement made by Amnesty International that described Trump's remarks as absurd!

Rather, what concerns and interests us most here, and which we will comment on, is the targeted Islamic ummah meant by these reckless statements. Is the apparent rejection from its rulers sufficient? Is their adherence to international law and not violating it enough to stand against these two fools?!

The true response of the Islamic uumah throughout history has been embodied in the stances of the Prophet Muhammad (swt), and the actions of the great men from among the Khalifah (caliphs) and leaders of the ummah; such as the stance of the Prophet (swt) towards Banu Qaynuqa when they assaulted a Muslim woman and killed a Muslim. The Prophet (swt) responded by mobilizing the army against them, besieging them, and eventually expelling them from the city to Adhri'at. Similar were the stances of Harun al-Rashid, who addressed the enemy of the ummah as 'son of the infidel', implying that the answer was a military action with an army whose front was by the enemy and its rear by the Khalifah, leading to the enemy's submission and return to paying tribute. Another stance was that of Al-Mu'tasim, who when he received the plea for help from a Muslim woman, did not rest until he avenged her and conquered Amorium. And the stance of Salahuddin, who united the ummah and its armies and liberated Palestine from the Crusaders, and the stance of Sultan Abdul Hamid II, who preserved it, as well as other great figures of the ummah, may Allah have mercy on them all.

What has befallen Gaza and its people in terms of destruction and killing has been caused by the American Jewish military machine, with American cover, protection, and support. This destruction and killing would not have occurred had the armies of Muslims mobilized to uproot the Jewish entity from the Blessed Land (Palestine) and cut off America’s presence from our lands.

O armies of the Muslims:

Have the blood not boiled in your veins as you watch the destruction and killing in Gaza, and then in the West Bank afterward?!

Has the spirit of the one who calls to the right not stirred within you?! Have you not been filled with pride, as you watched the foolish Trump welcome the war criminal Netanyahu like a hero, and you hear his remarks that provoke your nation while you are its armies, its support, and its protective shield?!

Hasn’t the time come for you to uproot these puppet rulers, remove their traitorous regimes, establish the rule of Islam, and defend the honor and dignity of your ummah? Where are the men among you who do not sleep under oppression, do not remain silent in the face of falsehood, and do not accept degradation in their deen and their ummah, in their lands and sanctities? This is your opportunity, so do not waste it. This is the Hizb ut Tahrir, which possesses a clear political vision based on Sharia, calling you to support it in establishing the second Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided caliphate) on the method of Prophethood, so that the ummah may rise up like one man in the face of those two tyrants and drive away the whispers of Satan.
