Silly Way to Stop Work for Establishment of Khilafah

Ansyad Mbay, Chairman of BNPT (National Agency for Combating Terrorism) tries to link the rise of sending bombs in packages of books to a number of figures-- known bearers of the liberal idea of ​​anti-Sharia and Khilafah "Caliphate", to Islamic groups who work to establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" Islamiyah.

 Muhammad Ismail Yusanto, the spokesman for Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia has denied the statement. "Linking bombs to serious efforts for re-establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate" is a silly way to try to push Khilafah "Caliphate" movement into a corner" This silly way is used because they proved unable intellectually, rationally, emotionally, and legally to stop Moslems support towards re-establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate".

"Legally, preaching to awaken the Muslims to re-establish Khilafah "Caliphate" is part of freedom of speech guaranteed by the constitution or existing laws,"

Emotionally, Khilafah "Caliphate" is close with the emotions of Moslems who now feel oppressed, weak and unable to face the challenges confronting the enemies of Islam. They can't face these all unless they are united under one command; Khilafah "Caliphate" Islamiyah.

Rationally, "What else could the Muslims do to face so many problems except back to the sharia and the caliphate?"

Intellectually, the Idea of re-establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate" has very solid theoretical basis both in theology, as well as history. In addition, Hizbut Tahrir as the carrier of this idea never uses violence in conveying this awareness.

Once again, it is very hard to them to uproot the growing of this idea and stop the support of Moslems which is day by day increasing. At least, it can be seen in the results of national Surveys both done by independent pollsters or clearly secular ones.
