Hizb ut Tahrir Conducts Two Pickets and the Security Forces Prevent a Third One and Disperses Another

Amid heavy security and media presence, Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah of Jordan carried out on Friday 23/10/2015 two pickets in support of Al-Aqsa, and urged the armies to move for its support. This took place in Nizal district in the capital Amman and at the Ma’soom roundabout in the city of Zarqa. While security and Darak forces prevented the party’s picket in the city of Irbid; after the security forces turned the area around the Yarmouk University Mosque to a military barrack, and locked the doors of the mosque to force worshipers to exit from one door. They confiscated identity cards belonging to a number of participants, and they beat one of the participants and arrested him. They also broke up the Hizb’s picket in front of Ar-Ra’i Newspaper office and threatened to use force according to the Interior Ministry’s orders as was stated by the security officer on-site.

We want to raise questions regarding this:

For whose sake are Muslims in this country prevented from getting angry for the sake of Allah in support of Al-Aqsa and our people in Palestine? And what is the political interest that the Jordanian regime wants to achieve as a result of this sinful ban?!

On top of restricting the military sectors and stopping it from moving from their barracks in support of Al-Aqsa and all of Palestine, and on top of its audacity in conducting the security coordination and political and economic agreements with the Jewish entity, it is now preventing Muslims from supporting Al-Aqsa and supporting their brothers in Palestine, and the regime forgot that Al-Aqsa Mosque has been lost and usurped while being under its rule.

O Jordanian Regime:

It is a crime against Islam and the Ummah, that Al-Aqsa is usurped and lost while it is under your rule and you do not give it back to the Muslims. It is a collusion against Al-Aqsa that it is desecrated by the feet of Jewish herds and is threatened of being demolished and you only shout with condemnation, denunciation and blame in order not to waste the chances for peace, while you can mobilize the army to support Al-Aqsa, and liberate it and all of Palestine. Our army in Jordan is not a coward and is not known for cowardice, but its courage is known by all the people, and our military in Jordan is not separated from the Islamic Ummah and its issues but it is part of the Ummah and is for it, and our army in Jordan is not incapacitated, but have the capacity, efficiency, and Iman to move for the support in Al-Aqsa and all the issues of Muslims.

For whose interest are Muslims prohibited of support of Al-Aqsa? Or is it the heavy duty in protecting the Jewish entity and defending it?! Or is it your concern about your good image and good behavior at the capitals of the forces of tyranny and arrogance and colonialism?

Do you not know, O regime, that Muslims are one Ummah to the exclusion of other people, do you not know that Al-Aqsa Mosque is part of the doctrine of Muslims. No one can affect its status to the Muslims or terminate their full willingness to sacrifice their lives and all that is precious for its sake, to please Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw).

O Muslims:

Restricting the Muslim armies for the support of Allah, His Messenger, His Deen, believers and sanctities of Muslims, and that Muslims are prevented even from raising their voices in support of Al-Aqsa, all this confirms beyond any doubt, that the Khilafah "Caliphate" State on the method of Prophethood, the political entity of the Ummah, on top of being an Islamic duty, it is a definite necessity and need, so that the Ummah lives in dignity and glory under the laws of its Lord and live their lives on a straight path according to what pleases its Lord (swt). So work O Muslims with those who are working to establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" State on the method of Prophethood, and let us be partners in making victory and in building glory and pride.
