Enough of a Spineless Leadership that Allies and Seeks Honor with the United States!

General Bajwa, the army chief of the world's sixth largest army and only Muslim nuclear power, met the US ambassador on 23 August 2017. This critical meeting was two days after the blustering speech of the US President, Donald Trump, which poured scorn on the immense suffering and losses that Pakistan has endured, ever since Washington launched its crusade against Muslims, the so-called War on Terror, sixteen long years ago. It was upon Bajwa to announce immediate withdrawal from America's crusade, defiantly expel the US ambassador and round up the American CIA, FBI and private military that have launched a campaign of blasts and assassinations to prod our capable armed forces into the tribal areas to fight America's war for it. However, instead, Bajwa announced submissively through an ISPR statement, "We are not looking for any material or financial assistance from the US, but trust, understanding and [an] acknowledgement of our contributions.”

O Muslims of Pakistan in General, and their Armed Forces in Particular!

Hizb ut Tahrir/ Wilayah Pakistan asks you all, from whom is Bajwa seeking trust, understanding, acknowledgement and honor?! Who exactly is the United States in whom Bajwa still maintains alliance with? It is an untrustworthy colonialist nation that harbors the world's largest and most well-funded terrorist organization, the CIA. It is thus responsible for false flag operations, bombings and murders, to further US foreign policy objectives, throughout the world, from South America to South East Asia. It is a dishonorable capitalist nation that has mobilized financial institutions, such as the IMF and World Bank, to deprive resource rich nations of their natural resources and industrial capabilities, whilst plunging them into debt that can never be repaid through a web of interest (riba) and choking taxation. It is an arrogant, secular state, unworthy of leadership on the Earth of Allah (swt), Lord of the Worlds, that has made clear that it is America First and the rest of the world last. In its pursuit of securing the interests of its greedy gray-suited men, it has unleashed weapons of mass destruction upon the women, children and elderly and set its cowardly, dishonorable troops upon the lives, properties, honor and sanctities of others.

How can we expect honor and trust from alliance with such a hostile enemy, when Allah (swt) warned,

]الَّذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِن دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَيَبْتَغُونَ عِندَهُمُ الْعِزَّةَ فَإِنَّ الْعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًا[ “Those who take disbelievers for allies instead of believers, do they seek honor, power and glory with them? Verily, then to Allah belongs all honor, power and glory.” [Surah an-Nisa'a 4:139] How, O Muslims?! The American crusaders will never grant honor even if tens of thousands more of us are burnt in the fires of chaos and thousands more of our officers and soldiers are burnt as fuel for the US crusade. So, how long are we to tolerate rulers like Bajwa who see fit to submit themselves as self-disrespecting slaves, before an ungrateful and cruel master?

O Muslims of Pakistan in General, and their Armed Forces in Particular!

Hizb ut Tahrir/ Wilayah Pakistan asks you all, whom is Bajwa seeking to represent through such a spineless stance?! Who exactly are we that Bajwa seeks to belittle us before our enemies through alliance with them? We are an honorable armed forces and noble people that harbor deep love for Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saaw). We are a brave armed forces and lively people that are the rightful inheritors to a proud and defiant legacy. It is an Islamic legacy that began from the time of the Khilafah Rashida (Righteous Caliphate) through Islam's dominance of the Indian Subcontinent, through to the defiant resistance the British Raj, through the immense sacrifice to establish a state in the name of Islam in August 1947 and now a deep, restlessness at the injustice of the American Raj. And we are a competent armed forces and resourceful people that do not count our martyrs, when we are upholding the Word of Allah (swt) as the highest.

And we are a respected powerful armed forces and worthy people that have within ourselves all the means to rise as the firm, secure, starting point of the Khilafah on the Method of the Prophethood, which will abide by Islam and unify the entire Ummah again as the just leadership that the oppressed world is longing for and looking for. Allah (swt) said,

[كُنتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ ۗ وَلَوْ آمَنَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُم ۚ مِّنْهُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ]

"You are (the) best (of) people raised for all of humankind - enjoining the right and forbidding from the wrong and believing in Allah. And if the People of the Book believed, surely that would have been good for them. Among them (are) [the] believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient." [Surah Aali Imran 3:110] So, how long will we wait before moving to establish the Khilafah on the Method of the Prophethood? Indeed, the passive, observer only makes time his enemy, whilst the sincere and aware believer striving in the service of Allah (swt), makes time his firm friend, counting for him.

O Muslims of Pakistan's Armed Forces!

Seven decades of alliance with the colonialists has confirmed that it is a well-trodden path of betrayal, humiliation and insecurity. The last sixteen years of alliance with the crusaders has only brought you military leaders that traded our security and your blood to secure their own luxurious retirements. It brought you Musharraf who mobilized your intelligence, air bases and air corridors to secure the Americans an occupation that they could never achieve by themselves. It brought you Kayani and Raheel who mobilized your strength and power in the tribal areas to grant respite to the cowardly crusaders, who, if left on their own, would have long ago sunk in the "graveyard of the empires", like the British Imperialists and Soviet Russians before them. And it has now brought you Bajwa, who seeks allies with the untrustworthy and is busy now extending a rope of political legitimacy to the exhausted US military presence on our doorstep, by herding the Afghan Taliban into the maze of negotiations.

How can such cheap, greedy leaders be tolerated to lead a believing armed forces that holds in its heart the saying of Allah (swt), [يَوْمَ لا يَنْفَعُ مَالٌ وَلا بَنُونَ * إِلاَّ مَنْ أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ] “The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children- But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart.” [Surah ash-Shura'a 26:88-89]? How long will you lions of the Ummah accept to be chained by sell-out, spineless leaderships? Grant Hizb ut Tahrir Nussrah now for the re-establishment of the Khilafah on the Method of the Prophethood and earn the Duas, blessings and support of this noble Ummah. Respond!
