Hizb ut-Tahrir organized protest meetings outside various mosques today in Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet against US naval exercise in the Bay of Bengal. Last Sunday (19 September, 2011) the US Navy begun its eight day long security exercise termed ‘CARAT' (Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training). The speakers at the protest meetings said that the United States is an enemy state and called upon the Muslims to raise their voice against US domination over the Muslim Army of Bangladesh. America considers Bangladesh's strategic location as vital to her regional plan. This naval exercise and other so-called security cooperation are nothing less than a malicious design by America to subjugate the Muslims so that she can implement her strategic design for the region. Here is what Moriarty said in a cable to Washington on 19 January, 2010: "Increasing Bangladesh's naval capabilities and US Navy-Bangladesh Navy interoperability for joint operations is a key US goal. Improving Bangladesh's maritime domain awareness and interoperability will enhance US ability to secure freedom of navigation in the strategic sea lines of communication within the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal."

On top of that we are witnessing how America is relentless in her crusade against the rise of Islam in the world including this region. Thus American presence in the region is part of her design to delay the re-establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" in Bangladesh, Pakistan or Indonesia where the call for Khilafah "Caliphate" by Hizb ut-Tahrir has gained strong support among the people and the party is close to achieving its goal. America knows very well that the return of the Khilafah "Caliphate" would be the beginning of her end - the end of her crusade against the Muslims and her dominion in the world.

The speakers called upon the Muslims to protest against the government's subservience to America; and to work for the re-establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate". They urged the people of power to refuse to cooperate with the colonialist political and military officials. If the American enemy is not stopped immediately and decisively she will achieve an upper hand and inflict great harm upon the Ummah. Allah (SWT) warned the Muslims,
"Should they gain the upper hand over you, they would behave to you as enemies, and stretch forth their hands and their tongues against you with evil, and they desire that you should disbelieve." [TMQ Surah Al-Mumtahanah: 2]
