Attack on Peshawar Airport, Jamrood and Nowshera Cantt More Cruel and Crude Attempts to Force Us to Accept America's War against Islam as Our War

On Saturday night, at around 8:30 pm, terrorists attacked Peshawar Airport. After a few hours the sneaky British state media, the BBC, aired news that an alleged Talban spokesman, Ehsan ullah Ehsan, a shadowy and unknown personality, claimed the responsibility of attack. Media channels then started commenting after airing this incident, with the "experts," mouthpieces of the government, giving their opinion, that we must accept this American war against Islam and Muslims in the region and continue to make our soldiers a fuel in this war of Fitna.

After this attack the government decided to launch a military operation in Pashtakhra and Bara Road, with the Minister of Information Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Mian Iftikhar Hussain, demanding a full fledged operation. Prior to this, on 12th December 2012, US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta stated during his visit to Kabul that the Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani had indicated a willingness to try to put more pressure on safe havens. And today the Pentagon has informed the US Congress that they are releasing 700 million dollars to Pakistan, under the Coalition Support Fund, as if it were blood money!

After the killing of two Pakistani citizens at the hands of the American killer, Raymond Davis, in broad day light, the Muslims of Pakistan now know that the "Raymond Davis Network" is involved in attacks on civilian and military installations, to build an atmosphere of fear to support America's war of Fitna. The Muslims know that traitors in the political and military leadership have allowed the CIA and private organizations like Black Water to spy and conduct terrorist activities in tribal areas specifically, as well as all over Pakistan. The Muslims of the armed forces do not want to fight against their tribal Muslim brothers. However, in order to gain their support, they have been told that we are fighting kafir in the tribal areas, not with the Muslims. So, stories of recovering wine from terrorist bases or reports of uncircumcised bodies of terrorists are widely circulated. And now they have brought forward another "evidence," in the form of a dead body having a large Satan tattoo! The pictures of the body are being widely circulated, so the traitors within the political and military leadership can convince people that we do not want to send our forces in tribal areas to fight our Muslims brothers, rather we send them to fight the kuffar. But still the people refuse to be made fools of at the hands of traitor rulers and their American masters.

These traitor rulers are fighting on the orders of their American masters. They have turned the entire tribal area into a battlefield for the last eight years, which has resulted in the killing of thousands of civilians and solders and forced millions of tribal people to become refugees in their own country, whilst the country has become destabilized severely. It has been mentioned by the media and well-respected former diplomats and military men, many times, that Black Water has "Safe Houses" in the major cities and even military cantonment areas. But no action has been taken to uproot these "terrorist safe havens" so far. In order to fulfill American interests in the region, these traitor rulers have thrown thousands of our soldiers in the fire of this war of Fitna, but they have never taken action against hideouts of Black Water in sensitive military cantonments or heavily populated residential areas such as Gulberg, Lahore. This attitude shows that these traitors do not want to stop the attacks on markets, military installations, civilians and military personnel. Instead, they use these attacks to further fuel this American war against Islam and Muslims. If these rulers were sincere with us, then they would have never allowed these private American mercenaries to even enter in Pakistan.

The reasons for the misery of our people are these traitor rulers and the colonialist system they implement over our heads. Only once rulers are thrown in the dust bin of history and a pledge is given to a Khaleefah for ruling by Islam, will the Muslims' honor, dignity and life be secured. RasulAllah (saw) declared the Khaleefah a shield for the Ummah

"إِنَّمَا الْإِمَامُ جُنَّةٌ يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ وَيُتَّقَى بِهِ"

"Indeed, the Khaleefah is a shield, from behind whom you fight and by whom you are protected." (Muslim). Today we do not have that shield, so Muslims are not secure in their own lands.

O Muslims! We call you to the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" and for the restoration of the shield. We invite you to stand with Hizb ut Tahrir in order to fulfill this Islamic Obligation. O Muslims of Pakistan and sincere officers in the armed forces! Stand with Hizb ut Tahrir to fulfill the prophecy of Rasool Allah (saw)

"ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةً عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ"

"Then there will be a Khilafah "Caliphate" according to the method of Prophethood."(Ahmed).
