Once again western powers are gathering to interfere in the affairs of the Muslim world and decide the fate of the Ummah. This week the colonialist powers plan to convene international conferences in London to discuss the situation in Yemen and Afghanistan. The subject of discussion is not to liberate the Muslim Ummah from the shackles of colonialism, rather it is subdue the resistive populations of these countries and preserve the interests of the colonialist powers.

This is clearly observed in the flurry of diplomatic activities taking place between the colonialist powers and leaders of the Islamic countries. For instance, on Saturday in Sana'a, US Ambassador Stephen Seche and British Ambassador Tim Torlot under the guise of cooperation and enhancing ties held separate meeting with Yemen's Undersecretary of the Foreign Ministry, Mohi al-Deen al-Dhabi. After this meeting the leaders of the Islamic countries were found busy conferring with each other how best to execute the agenda their colonialist masters have put before them. Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit told Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh that Egypt would provide Yemen "political, economic, and security support" at the London conference.

Afghanistan's leader Karzai is also planning to unveil America's latest agenda for afghanistan.  The plan which includes training more Afghan police, talking to moderate elements of the Taliban, building Afghanistan's civilian institutions and denying sanctuary to militants  will be supported by Afghanistan neighbours-Iran and Pakistan.

The flagrant interference of Western powers and the mobilization of Muslim rulers to serve their agenda from a cursory perspective paints a gloomy picture and reminds us of the words of the messenger of Allah(saw),"'The nations shall gather and team up against you (i.e., Muslims) as the predators gather and team up against their preys. A questioner asked: 'Is it because of us being low in numbers at that day?' The Prophet replied: 'No, you that day shall be in great numbers, but you will be as powerless as the foam of the water on the surface of the river, and Allah shall remove any fear from your enemies toward you, and He shall put in your hearts a corruption.' A questioner asked: 'O Apostle of Allah, what is the corruption?' The Prophet replied: 'The love of life's amusements and the fear of death.' (Translation of Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 37, Number 4297)"

However, a close examination of the events reveals that the Western powers are far from mighty and powerful. Their ever increasing reliance upon the assets of the Muslim Ummah to execute their agenda obliterates the myth that the West is too powerful to dislodge as an arbitrator of international affairs. Had not the leaders of the Muslim world placed air bases, waterways, intelligence, oil wealth, natural resources and the armies of the Ummah in the hands of the kafir colonialists-the western powers would have been unable to execute their nefarious plans and continue to dominate the Muslim world. Furthermore, the Western powers are divided and compete with each other over the resources of the Muslim world. For instance Europe's lack of support to stabilize Afghanistan has irked America for the past eight years. Yet, the leaders of the Ummah are unable to exploit these fissures and rescue the Ummah from the kafir colonialist powers. On the contrary, the rulers compete with each other strengthen the hand of their master through the pillage and bloodshed of the Ummah. The only way for the Islamic Ummah to permanently end western interference in her lands is to re-establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashida. Only through the Khilafah "Caliphate" will the Ummah be able to manage her own affairs and write her own political destiny.
