Press Release
The colonialist Invaders are set to launch sectarian crises in Afghanistan
(Translated)

On Tuesday, 6th Dec, when a large number of people were busy in Abul Fazl shrine, commemorating 10th of Muhram (Ashura), a bloody bomb blast killed for about 50 people and more than 140 got injured, in Murad Khani area of Kabul. A similar tragic incident took place in Mazar as well.

For this new developing phenomenon the people of Afghanistan should consider the following points seriously;

• The Muslims of Afghanistan should first of all ask themselves, why, till now, such incidents have never taken place? Who is behind all these bomb blast in Iraq and Pakistan? And who is getting benefit out of it? It's very obvious that the colonialist forces, their secret agencies and mercenaries are behind all these acts of brutalities. The best example to prove this is the existence of Black water and DynCorp in Iraq, which is the CIA contracted companies, through which they are creating all this sectarian crises in Iraq and other countries. Lashkare Jhangwi, taking the responsibility in itself is a colonialist design because Lashkare Jhangwi is the brainchild of the Pakistani intelligence, whose aim is to create sectarian rift between Muslims in addition to all other problems that we have been facing.

• Furthermore, such heinous act of terrorism provides the opportunity to the crusaders to make the people of Afghanistan realize that without their existence such incidents will happen, as a result, the people of Afghanistan themselves would start demanding the signing of the strategic pact.

• It's a proven fact that there were not sectarian crises in Afghanistan and the actual cause for all such incidents is the existence of the colonialist crusaders who wants to create sectarian crises in Afghanistan in addition to the national, tribal, linguistic and other rifts, so that to further divide the people of Afghanistan and turn them against each other. This way the people of Afghanistan will lose their sight of the real problem of Kufar invading their land and will get trapped in these issues.

• Both Shia and Sunni constitute huge portions of the Islamic Ummah and in the history of Islamic state (khilafah) both lived mostly in peace and tranquility, contributing to the development of the society. In the Islamic land such incidents took place with the direct and indirect involvement of the traitor rulers, who has coincided with their colonialist masters so that to protect their positions.

• Using one Muslim to kill another is absolutely Haram and the perpetrator shall face Qisas in this world and severe punishment in the hereafter. Similarly, if two Muslims fight each other without any sharai reason, both will go to the hell fire. Muhammad (Saw) said "cursing a Muslim is fisq and killing him is Kufr". Similarly in one other hadith he (saw) said "after me by killing one another, don't convert back to Kufr".

Lastly, Hizb ut tahrir shares condolence with the families who lost their loved one in this tragic incident and ask Allah (Swt) to give the families patience in this tough time. Moreover, we ask the Muslims of Afghanistan not to be instigated by the plots of the Kufar; indeed they want to take full benefit of such criminal acts. Indeed, they give no value to human life, though being Muslims we know what our beloved prophet (saw) has said in one of his hadith "In the sight of Allah (swt) the worth of the blood of a Muslims is more than the entire world". (Ibn Maja)

Therefore, we request all different Islamic schools to maintain patience and use all its efforts and energies against the crusaders who are behind all these atrocious acts and should strive hard to re-establish the Islamic khilafah that will take us out from the clutches of the colonialists and will reunify the Ummah under the banner of Islam and under the single leadership of the khilafah.
