Press Release
Presidential and Parliamentary Systems are Two Sides of the Same Kufri Democratic System
(Translated)

The US has decided to demand for change in the system of Afghanistan after initiating dialogue with Taliban in their newly established office in Qatar due to some internal and external factors. Following this new development, some political opponents of the government, especially the heads of the National Front and National Coalition, who were previously part of the Karzai regime, have begun to demand a change in the political system. The demand for decentralized parliamentary system surfaced in the Berlin Conference where some opponents of Karzai government and some prominent US members of Congress initiated the discussion.

The Afghan media give wide coverage to this issue so much so that the entire Afghan media has become preoccupied with it. This situation has led Karzai proclaiming that he will defend the current system at the cost of his life, saying that changing the system was mission impossible. He said "Afghanistan is not political laboratory of strangers to test new systems and structures..."

There are two key reasons as to why this issue has become so important:

1- Since the elections are fast approaching, opponents of the government intend to hide the failure of the kufr system of democracy by presenting the idea of parliamentary system and trying to feed people with this false notion. Purported by foreign countries, these people want to betray the Muslims of Afghanistan once again. They want to continue to spill the blood of people and deceive them by offering the parliamentary form of government as an alternative to the current one.

2- Moreover, leaders of the Northern region, who provided direct support to the United States of America in its brutal invasion of Afghanistan, were sidelined by USA with an intention to use them to achieve its future goals. Since US has been engaged directly in negotiation with Taliban and Hizb-e-Islami, the interests of the leaders of the Northern region is at stake.

Democratic system is a kufr system of government, be it presidential or parliamentary, centralized or federal, because this system comes from humans. It was specifically designed to solve the issues of western countries. Democracy has no relation whatsoever with the revelation (wahi). Therefore, it can never solve problems of the Ummah. It has failed to solve issues faced by humanity in general. Rather, democracy has been a cause of wars and crisis, a clear example of which is Iraq after democratic elections of 2010.

Both presidential and parliamentary systems are two sides of the same coin whether implemented through central or federal styles. This system can never free Muslims in specific and humanity in general from the shackles of oppression and tyranny. The only system that could liberate the humanity, Muslim Ummah and the people of Afghanistan is the system that is based on the revelation from Allah (swt) that is the Khilafah "Caliphate". Only through Khilafah "Caliphate" we could implement Islam and could take it to the humanity for liberation. Khilafah "Caliphate" system is based on revelation and is not the product of human intellect. The Ummah has conviction in Khilafah "Caliphate" and is ready to give all kind of sacrifice to reestablish it.

(أَفَحُكْمَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَبْغُونَ وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللَّهِ حُكْمًا لِقَوْمٍ يُوقِنُونَ)

Is it the judgment of ˹pre-Islamic˺ ignorance they seek? Who could be a better judge than Allah for people of sure faith? (Surah Maidah, 50)
