William Burns Visits Pakistan, Demanding Military Operation in North Waziristan
Pakistan Armed Forces Must Reject the American Demand of Military Operations in North Waziristan

The US Deputy Secretary of State, William Burns, during his visit to Pakistan demanded immediate military operations in North Waziristan, against those Mujahideen who are fighting in Afghanistan against American occupying forces. William Burns' demand establishes the fact that this war is not against fighting terrorism, rather it is a war against Mujahideen fighting against American occupation. The people of Pakistan and its armed forces have been very clear from the very first day that those who are fighting against American occupation are Mujahideen, who are waging Jihad and fulfilling an obligation from Islam.

Cowardly American forces, despite their military might, cannot face handfuls of Mujahideen, equipped with inferior arms. Therefore, America collaborates with traitors in Pakistan's political and military leadership to suppress those Mujahideen in the tribal areas, who are resisting the American occupation of Afghanistan. However, the people of Pakistan and its armed forces detest targeting those Mujahideen, who are fighting against the American crusaders. Therefore, on American instructions, traitors in the political and military leadership allowed the Raymond Davis network to enter Pakistan, to plan and supervise terrorist attacks on military and civilian targets. So after every terrorist incident, its blame was placed on the tribal Muslims, so the people of Pakistan and its armed forces were pushed to believe that this is not an American war, rather it is their own war. Traitors always used this propaganda technique in order to provide security for American forces in Afghanistan, forcing Pakistan's armed forces to undertake military operations in the tribal areas.

Is it mere coincidence that whenever an American political or military official is expected to arrive in Pakistan with a demand for military operations in the tribal areas, attacks on Pakistan's armed forces in tribal area gathers pace? Just a day before William Burns' visit, attacks occurred on Pakistan armed forces in North Waziristan, killing ten military men. The arrest of an American FBI agent from Karachi airport and recovery of espionage gadgets from his possession, just a few days ago, once again was a stark reminder that behind every terrorist incident in Pakistan, there is the hand of American intelligence and the Raymond Davis network. Indeed, America is notorious the world over for black operations to fuel low intensity conflicts.

Hizb ut Tahrir wants to make it clear to Pakistan's armed forces that whilst the traitors in the political and military leadership remain in power, they will continue to allow American agencies and Raymond Davis network to spread a reign of terror across the country and spill your scared blood in the name of fighting the war on terror, in order to protect cowardly American forces in Afghanistan. Therefore, you must come forward and take the matters into your hands, by giving the Nussrah to Hizb ut Tahrir under the leadership of its Ameer, Sheikh Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah for the re-establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate". Then, in contrast to Pakistan's current constitution, the Islamic constitution of Khilafah "Caliphate" will declare America as an enemy, instead of declaring it as a friend, and Khilafah "Caliphate" will mobilize the best army of the world in order to cleanse this region from the filth of American presence and this action alone insure the long lasting peace in this region.

Allah (swt) said,

[لاَ يَتَّخِذْ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِنْ دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَلَيْسَ مِنْ اللَّهِ فِي شَيْءٍ]

"Let not the believers take the disbelievers as allies instead of the believers, and whoever does that, will never be helped by Allah in any way" [Surah Aali-Imran 3:28].
