MI5 singles out the credit crunch as a major threat
Following on the heels of US intelligence reports, the MI5 UK's domestic intelligence service warned of new major threats spawning from the credit crunch crisis. Jonathan Evans the head of the MI5 said the international recession could be a "watershed moment" which will shift the balance of power away from the West. He said, "Where there have been watershed moments, there have often been national security implications from that, a new alignment. We have to maintain flexibility and respond to threats. The world will not stay the same."
Israeli 'Sound Bombs' Reported 'Exploding' Wombs Of Pregnant Palestinian Woman And Girls
Disturbing reports have circulated during the debriefing of Russian and Ukrainian medical personal evacuated from Gaza that detail the gruesome 'explosion' of over 188 pregnant Palestinian women and girls wombs due to the use by Israeli Air Force fighter jets of what are termed 'sound bombs'. Britain's Guardian News Service reports that Israel's use of these 'sound bombs' is to "warn people away before flattening the homes with missiles" and Palestinian psychiatrist Dr. Khalid Dahlan has previously stated that: "Israel's sonic blasts are part of a larger psy-ops war that is aimed at directly at children; it has no other conceivable purpose. The explosions have no military value except to attack the fragile psyche of the most vulnerable and sensitive. As the survey indicates, Israel's plan has succeeded quite admirably. In fact, Israel is so pleased with the results of its psy-ops terror-campaign that it has developed "sound bombs" which are intended to create widespread fear and trauma. This new weapon has been successfully deployed in Gaza "inducing miscarriages and traumatizing children". Israel is aware of these effects and continues to use the weapon regardless of the human suffering it causes."
Saudi cleric condemns pro-Gaza protests
Sheikh Saalih al-Fawzaan, chief justice of the Supreme Judicial Council and one of the country's top scholars of Islamic Shariat law, said the protests represent "corruption on Earth, and not righteousness or reform", according to Al Hayat daily. Fawzaan, who also serves on the Council of Scholars which advises the Grand Mufti, Saudi Arabia's highest Muslim figure, said demonstrations result in chaos and can become acts of sabotage and destruction. "What good do demonstrations and rallies serve?" he asked. His statement came in the wake of protests last Monday in eastern Saudi Arabia against Israel's attacks on Gaza. A protest was broken up by police firing rubber bullets and 11 people were arrested. Such demonstrations are rare in Saudi Arabia, and Interior Ministry spokesman General Mansur al-Turki said earlier this week that they were banned.
Hasina's election majority to aid US policies courtesy of Britain
Aided by a compromise deal between Britain and America, Sheikh Hasina Wajed was sworn in for her second spell as Bangladesh's prime minister on 6/1/09. Her party the Awami League won 230 seats out of 300, giving her a clear majority to govern without forming a coalition. There is little doubt that she will use her newfound majority in parliament to legitimise the decisions and policies of the pro-American caretaker government. Nonetheless, the election victory clearly demonstrates that the US has again failed to create a broad based party independent of the Awami League and the Bangladeshi National Party, and was forced to broker a deal with Britain.
Zardari confers award to Boucher for his enmity towards Pakistan
On 5/1/2009 President Zardari conferred the prestigious civilian award Hilal-i-Quaid-i-Azam on US Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher for his services to Pakistan. Soon after receiving the award Boucher insisted that US air attacks against Pakistan would continue. The air raids have killed thousands of innocent civilians and displaced further tens of thousands from their homes in FATA. But why would Zardari confer the country's highest award on Boucher who is a low ranking US state department official, and is destined to be replaced this month? Perhaps, it was Boucher who helped Zardari become the President of Pakistan, so that he could plunder the country at will.
Hizb ut Tahrir/ Britain: Thousands protest in London, calling on armies to defend Gaza
Muslims in India joined the ranks of millions of Muslims across the world calling on the armies to move to defence the Muslims of Gaza. Approximately ten thousand Muslims held a large protest against the horrific attacks against Gaza by the illegal state of Israel on Friday 9th January 2009 at 2pm at Iqbal Maidan in the Indian City of Bhopal.
Various Islamic organizations both Sunni and Shia, activists, scholars and the Qazi (Islamic judge) of Bhopal, Mufti Abdul Lateef came together to protest against the Israeli terrorism towards Gaza and the complicity of the Arab and Muslim rulers who have betrayed their responsibility to aid the besieged Muslims of Gaza. They called upon the armies of the Muslim countries to defend Gaza and liberate Palestine.
The Islamic scholar, Sheikh Farooq Abbas, one of the organizers of the demonstration said, "As the Israeli entity continues shedding the blood of our brothers and sisters in Gaza, Arab regimes remain silent. Instead of releasing their armies, the Saudi king phoned George Bush (the butcher of Baghdad) and the Egyptian regime blamed the Palestinians, highlighting their complicity in Israel's aggression."
"Arab countries surrounding Palestine have over 2 million soldiers, spend over $100 billion on arms annually and dwarf Israel's forces. Egypt alone has 220 F-16 fighter planes and 450,000 soldiers. It is time these armies move to defend Gaza and remove these rulers, re-establishing the Islamic Caliphate which will unify the Muslim lands and answer the cries of the Palestinians, Iraqis, Afghanis, Somalis and all Muslims living under oppression."
The chair of the event, Maulana Masih Alam from Madrsassa Tarjume Wali Masjid and representative of the Milli Council emphasized the need of a Khalifah for the Muslim Ummah whom we can unite behind.

On 4th Muharram 1430 Hijri. Hizb ut-Tahrir Wilayah of Turkey issued a leaflet entitled "The Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashida state, and not the rulers who are agents of the Kafir colonliasts, is the sole mechanism to end the massacres of the Jewish entity".
The widely distributed leaflet exposed the position of the rulers of Turkey who had maintained close relations with Israel both before and during the massacre in Gaza. It criticised the position of those rulers whose only response was to call on the United Nations to act to resolve the situation in the Middle East.
It reminded the Muslims of Turkey that it was the duty of the Turkish rulers to respond to the attacks by moving their large armies, currently confined to their barracks, against the Israeli aggression. It also exposed the failure of the Turkish regime to even break political and military relations with Israel and close down its embassy.
Finally, it urged the Muslims of Turkey to work with Hizb ut-Tahrir to re-establish the Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" state that would end the Israeli aggression.
"The Imam is a shield, you fight from behind him and are protected by him"
