Alhamdulillah, the assembly of speeches that Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah of Jordan called for in order to condemn the American intervention in Syria and to denounce the crimes of its agent Bashar in Syria and the crimes of its agents the rulers in Egypt, has concluded. A large gathering from the sons of Jordan of Ash-Sham answered the call of the Hizb. A large number participated in the activities of the assembly despite the rise in temperature.

The assembly commenced by recitation of verses of al-Zikr al-Hakeem (Qur'an). Then the speech of the Head of the Media Office of Wilayah of Jordan, Brother Mahmoud Qataishat followed; in his speech he warned the Muslims from relying on the Kuffar, as stated in his speech: "Here is America and all the Kaffir states from behind waging a fierce crusade on Islam and the Muslims by its own hands and those of its agents and henchmen in the Muslim land. Here it is killing Muslims in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Yemen with its weapons and drones. And it kills Muslims in the land of Ash-Sham by the hand of its tyrant agent Bashar and it supplies him with all the means in order to survive. And it kills the Muslims in Egypt by the hands of its agent the tyrant As-Sisi in Rab'a al-Adawiyah, Nahda, and on the streets and mosques." In his speech he warned the Muslims from accepting or allowing the Kuffar from the East and the West from interfering in the affairs of the Muslims under any pretext or name whether it is military or political, because this is a betrayal to Allah, His Messenger, and the Believers. He also called the Muslims facing this tragic reality to uproot the rulers and work for the return of the Islamic authority and to establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" state that will cut off the hands of America and the other Kaffir states that are meddling with the Muslim lands.

Brother Bilal Al Qasrawi also delivered a speech speaking about the role of America to supply the butcher Bashar with all the means of power and survival and how it conspires against Ash-Sham revolution. And in his speech he commended the sincere revolutionaries in Ash-Sham and said that they will not be fooled by the attempts of America to isolate their revolution and its demand to manufacture a new agent.

Brother Abu Bakr Fuqaha' continued with his speech, in it he warned the Muslims not to rely on the kufar and he directed an advice to the Islamic Movements in Ash-Sham and Egypt to not accept a compromise in any part of their Deen and that their aim must not just be to overthrow or elect a ruler or sit on the Ruling Chair, but instead their aim must be to implement the Shar' of Allah (swt) by establishing the Khilafah "Caliphate" state.

There were slogans raised and they included: "The revolutionaries of Ash-Sham said it: ‘We will not change our Deen for your democracy.'", "Until when will my blood in Ash-Sham and Egypt be sacrificed for the West?", "They lied and said:" The solution is in democracy, so the result was the massacre of Rab'a Al- Adawiyah" and "Your intervention is an aggression and an aid to your helpers". The local and international Media covered the assembly that had a noticeable security presence. Media outlets conducted many press interviews with the Head of the Media office and a number of participants.

Sheikh Shawki Khudair

Who was assassinated at the sinful and treacherous hands on this day, the seventh of Dhul Qi'ddah year 1434 AH, corresponding to the twelfth of September 2013 CE, in the city of Baquba, as he left one of Allah's (swt) houses after he prayed Maghrib, after which he was transferred to the hospital where his pure soul left to its Maker, complaining of the cruelty of a lost individual who made a pact with the Shaytan and his supporters to offset every call to Almighty Allah that has good for this Ummah in this world and the Hereafter.

May Allah (swt) bless you Abu Ahmad and shower you with His Mercy. And write for you martyrdom on His path. You carried the responsibility of the Muslims, calling for the rule by Allah Almighty's Shar', and the realization of the Messenger's (saw) promise with the establishment of the second Righteous Khilafah "Caliphate" on the way of the Prophethood. We are sad to part with you, for Allah is what He took and His is what he gave, and we do not say except what pleases our Lord...

(إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ)

"Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return."

US Welcomes 'Significant' Russian Proposal on Syrian Weapons Handover

The US has welcomed what it called "very specific" Russian proposals to secure the handover of Syria's chemical weapons before key talks in Geneva on Thursday. Placing its faith in Moscow's leverage over its Syrian ally, the White House urged patience and said it was increasingly confident that its Kremlin partners were acting in good faith by "putting their prestige on the line". "We have seen more co-operation from Russia in the last two days than we have heard in the last two years," said White House spokesman Jay Carney. "The proposal they have put forward is very specific and the Syrian reaction is a total about-face. This is significant." The sudden thaw in White House attitudes toward Russia has met with scepticism in Washington, where many see it as an excuse for Barack Obama to avoid defeat in Congress over military action against Syria. A speech by Obama to the American people on Wednesday night was criticised by hawkish Republicans after it called for a suspension of Senate attempts to pass a resolution authorising US strikes. The White House insisted the Russian offer was genuine and a direct result of the pressure it had put on Syria. "There is no question that the credible threat of US force helped bring us to this point," Carney said. "By making this proposal Russia has, to its credit, put its prestige on the line when it comes to a close ally." But writing on Wednesday night in the New York Times, Vladimir Putin drew contrast between Russia's approach and the Obama administration's talk of military intervention - something the Russian president warned could "increase violence and unleash a new wave of terrorism."  Syria was not witnessing a battle for democracy but "an armed conflict between government and opposition in a multi-religious country", Putin said, in an editorial repeating assertions that rebels rather than the government might have used chemical weapons, "to provoke intervention by their powerful foreign patrons", and may be planning further attacks, even against Israel." [An American attack] could undermine multilateral efforts to resolve the Iranian nuclear problem and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and further destabilise the Middle East and North Africa. It could throw the entire system of international law and order out of balance." [Source: The Guardian]

Russia's Vladimir Putin Orders Missile Defence Shipment to Iran

Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his government on Wednesday to send five high-tech surface-to-air missile defence systems to Iran, a move intended in part to put a stop to Tehran's $4 billion lawsuit over a contract dispute. The shipment includes five S300VM Antey-2500 missile systems, United Press International reported. Iran's ambassador to Russia, Seyed Mahmoud Reza Sajadi, welcomed the announcement and said his country now will drop its lawsuit, which stems from a 2007 agreement. Then, Russia promised to give the country five missile defence systems that were modified versions of the S300 types. After Russia reneged, Iran sued. On Wednesday, Mr. Putin also said Russia will honour its previously forged deal to help construct a second nuclear power facility in Bushehr, UPI reported. The announcement comes on the heels of Russia's recent transfer of several S-300 missile defence systems to Syria. [Source: Washington Times]

Pentagon Opposes Full US Withdrawal from Afghanistan

Despite recent reports that the White House is considering a total troop withdrawal from Afghanistan after 2014, the Pentagon said Tuesday that "substantial" long-term U.S. military support -- including troops on the ground in training and support roles -- will be needed to prop up Afghan security forces after next year's deadline for ending the combat mission. In its biannual report to Congress on progress in the war, the Pentagon argued that Afghanistan's military is growing stronger but will require a lot more training, advising and foreign financial aid after the U.S. and NATO combat mission ends. Meanwhile, the White House has not ruled out leaving no troops behind after 2014, although officials have told the AP that the most likely option is a residual training force of roughly 9,000. Taliban attacks have been on the uptick in recent months, and the United Nations reported Wednesday that civilian casualties -- more than half of them caused by insurgent bomb attacks -- increased by 23% in the first half of 2013. The Pentagon's report implicitly rejected the "zero option," in which the U.S. would leave no troops in the country after the NATO withdrawal. While that option is considered unlikely, President Obama has grown frustrated in his dealings with Afghan President Hamid Karzai in recent months, and the White House has publicly floated the idea of total withdrawal. Peter Lavoy, the Pentagon's top Afghan policy official, spoke about the report at a news conference Tuesday, saying that a number of post-2014 options have been developed. Those options will take into account the Afghans' need for additional training and advising, as well as what the Pentagon views as a longer-term requirement for U.S. counterterrorism forces in Afghanistan, he said. "In none of these cases have we developed an option that is zero," Lavoy said.  It remains possible that the administration will be left with no option other than zero if it cannot successfully negotiate a security deal with Kabul that gives the U.S. a legal basis for having forces in Afghanistan after 2014. Talks on a security deal began last year but have made little recent headway as Karzai pushed back against Washington's efforts to broker a political agreement with the Taliban, whose insurgency remains far from defeated despite almost 12 years of U.S. military involvement. Karzai suspended talks on a security deal earlier this month in protest at the opening of a Taliban political office in Qatar, intended to facilitate peace talks. Karzai was outraged by the Taliban facility adopting the trappings of an embassy. [Source: Al Jazeera]

Indian Troops Deployed to Quell Hindu-Muslim Riots in Uttar Pradesh

Hundreds of troops have been deployed to quell deadly riots and clashes between Hindus and Muslims sparked by the killing of three villagers who had objected when a young woman was being harassed in northern India. Police said 19 people were killed, including an Indian journalist, a police photographer and several people who yesterday succumbed to injuries received a day earlier when the two groups fought with guns and knives in Kawal village, in Uttar Pradesh. The violence quickly spread to neighbouring villages in Muzaffarnagar district on Saturday night. "A curfew has been imposed in three riot-hit areas of Muzaffarnagar," said the head of the state's Home Ministry, R.M. Srivastava. "The situation is still very tense, but under control." Soldiers were going door-to-door to search for weapons. A high alert was declared for the entire state of Uttar Pradesh, which has a population of 200 million people. The clashes broke out on Saturday after thousands of Hindu farmers held a meeting in Kawal to demand justice in the August 27 killing of three men who had spoken out when a woman was being verbally harassed. The state's minority welfare minister, Mohammad Azam Khan, said some at the meeting gave provocative speeches calling for Muslims to be killed. The farmers were attacked as they were returning home after the meeting, senior police official Arun Kumar said. "The attack seemed well planned," Kumar said. "Some were armed with rifles and sharp-edged weapons." Gunfire was reported from several areas of the village. Within hours clashes broke out in neighbouring villages, Kumar said. A leader from the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party said tensions had been simmering since the three men were killed in a tea shop. "Had the killers been arrested, the situation might not have gone out of hand," Vijay Bahadur Pathak said. Uttar Pradesh was at the heart of some of India's worst communal clashes in December 1992 after a Hindu mob razed a 16th century mosque in Ayodhya. The government has warned that India is seeing a rise in communal violence, with 451 incidents reported this year, compared with 410 for all of 2012. Tensions were expected to escalate in the run-up to next year's national elections, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said in New Delhi. He said all 28 of India's states should stay alert and improve their ability to gather intelligence. [Source: South China Morning Post]
