Freedom Of Press Is An Empty Slogan In Democracy

Following the indefinite ban of weekly tabloid paper (Mwanahalisi) from 30 July 2012, for what the government of Tanzania termed as prolonged disobedience by its managing editor and publisher and the possibility of that particular paper causing worries among citizens, Hizb-ut Tahrir / East Africa would like to expose this issue in two aspects;

As intrigues continue over "transitional government", the ‘dissident' Brigadier, Manaf Tlass, emerged in Ihram clothing (Translated)

There has been much talk recently about the ‘transitional government' that would lead a process of change in Syria. As this alleged "national" government, whose formation America wants to supervise, ManafTlass - a Syrian Brigadier - has emerged on the scene.

Brigadier Tlass defected in an unusual way, not seen with the natural spontaneous defections that thousands of the loyal honest officers and soldiers preceded him in that.

He emerged leaving little time for speculation, to declare on the channels screens and through the press, with words revealing the real role assigned to him.

He said that he wished "to draw a road map out of the crisis and re-drawing Syria in a civilized way as it was, even more beautiful".

We ask ourselves: Was Syria beautiful under the rule of the deceased Hafez [al Assad] -throughout who's reign and at the beginning of the rule of the criminal Bashar (a period extending from 1972 to 2004) his father General Mustafa Tlass acted as Defence Minister?

At that time Manaf was a close friend of Basil al-Assad, the former crown prince, who died in 1994. ManafTlass's friendship turned to the second son, Bashar, when he inherited the role. This clearly shows that in the dissident Brigadier's mind, there is no black history of Syria during the period in which the family of Al-Assad and the family of Mustafa Tlass ravaged corruption and destruction.

As for the rebels, their opinion of his lying and trickery will not alter, even if he changed his skin and appeared on screen wearing ihram while performing Umrah, just as his predecessors Hafiz, Basil and Bashar have appeared before. Allah,the Almighty said:

(يُخَادِعُونَ اللّهَ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلاَّ أَنفُسَهُم وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ (9) فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ اللّهُ مَرَضاً وَلَهُم عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْذِبُونَ)

"They think to beguile Allah and those who believe, but they deceive only themselves, and they perceive it not. There is disease in their hearts, and Allah increased their disease; and they will have a painful punishment because they lie."

What the American newspaper "The Wall Street Journal" reported about U.S. officials in the administration of President Barack Obama as saying that "focus on the Brigadier ManafTlass, an old friend of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, is on the rise - at a time when hopes in the ability of the Syrian National Council to rally the opposition under one front are fading", explains how Ahmet Davutoglu, the godfather of American policy in the region, received the dissident Brigadier, Manaf on 27/07/2012.

He is the first military that Davutoglu met despite the presence of many Syrian dissident officers in Turkey for more than a year, according to what was said by the Turkish Foreign Ministry. His visit coincided with statements by the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, that Al-Assad has begun to lose control, and that in his view the opposition forces have come to control matters in Syria. This shows one aspect of the conspiracy against the revolution, whose fruits America and its agents in Turkey want to pick.

O rebelling Muslims in Syria:

It has become clear to you how the Assad regime has served America's policy in the region, and how he secured the borders of the Zionist entity. Have Manaf and his father been other than part of this regime, dressed with treason and servility to America?! It should be clear to you how the doors are open to Brigadier ManafTlass in Turkey and other countries, while they have been narrowed for others, like Hussein Harmoush!!

Let Muslims know that America is proceeding in its criminal and terrible plan towards stricken Syria and its brave people in order to ensure its own influence and to ensure the security of the Zionist entity, with no consideration for spilled blood and destroyed cities.

We, in Hizb-ut Tahrir, ask you to have full awareness of the American plans so as to frustrate them and bring down those who conspire with it, before bringing down the criminal Syrian regime conspiring with them; this regime, which commits its terrible crimes against both human beings and trees in Syria, for its own benefit and the benefit of (Israel).

We do not accept that the pure clean blood of our martyrs and the sacrifices of our young heroes and the efforts of our loyal officers to be invested by an opportunist, a cheap man, a national council serving foreign interests, or political figures that knock the doors of the West and the East.

We rather invite all free revolutionaries to save Syria of Sham (the centre of the abode of Islam), by working to establish the Law of Allah through the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" State. Be with the party that trusts in the promise of the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him, for all Muslims of its establishment when he said:

"ثم تكون خلافة على منهاج النبوة"

"And then it will be Khilafah "Caliphate" on the model of prophet hood".

And to the people of the Sham specifically, when he said:

"عقر دار الإسلام الشام"

"The centre of the abode of Islam 'Dar al-Islam' is al-Sham."

Statement of Hizb-ut Tahrir / Indonesia: Solidarity Act for Muslims in Rohingya

  • Published in Pictures
  •   |  

It is widely reported that Buddhist extremist groups and the Burmese regime suppressed and slaughtered Muslims in Rakhine or Arakan, Burma. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees, UNHCR, reported that the attacks which occurred since last June have killed more than 20,000 Muslims and displacing hundreds of thousands. International Amnesty also recognizes that the Muslims in Burma have become victims of Buddhist extremist groups and the Burmese authorities.

 

After decades of discrimination, Muslims in Rohingya who have been living in Burma for centuries are now stateless. The Burma regime continues its brutality; restricting Muslim activity, robbing their lands and depriving them of public services. These evil acts force them to flee to other countries like Bangladesh, Malaysia and Thailand. There are more than 500 thousand Muslims in Burma whom were 10 million, (20% of the population). According to UNHCR, about one million Muslims in Rohingya are now forced to live outside of Myanmar, but there is no third country willing to accept them permanently.

 

Through these policies, the Burma regime clearly intends to kill out Muslims (Muslim cleansing) as it is clearly understood from the murderous President of Myanmar's statement, Thein Sein "Myanmar will deport Rohingyans if there is a third country willing to accept them." For Thein Sein who acts cruelly to his own people, there are only two solutions for Muslims in Rohingya: living in camps or deportation.

 

What a sad reality! Muslims in Rohingya are an integral part of the 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. So, how could the great number of Muslims be unable to protect their persecuted brothers? Where is the respectability of this Ummah? After all that happened to Muslims in Pattani southern Thailand, Moro, South Filipinos, as well as in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine demonstrate one thing: Muslims are weak and helpless after the shade of the Islamic world, the Caliphate, collapsed in 1924.

 

Therefore, Hizbut Tahrir-Indonesia together with Islamic organizations will conduct a series of solidarity actions throughout various cities in Indonesia starting Friday, 3rd of August 2012. We:

 

1-Condemnextremist Buddhists and the monks supporting the regime's acts of violence against Muslims, destroying their property, murdering them and evicting them from Rohingya. This outrage should never be performed by civilized men.

 

2-Demand that the Burmese regime to immediately halt the brutality and all policies to slaughter Muslims in Arakan. Burma authorities should recognize Muslims in Rohingya as legitimate citizens and give them their rights because they existed in these lands for centuries.

 

3-Demand that the Indonesia government as the leader of ASEAN to take effective action to stop this cruelty and protect the immigrants of Rohingya who enter Indonesia territory.

 

4-Call on Muslims to take action together as solidarity for the Muslims in Rohingya during this blessed Ramadhan, the month of Jihad (syahrul Jihad). Furthermore we call upon the Muslims to work and struggle together to re-establish the Islamic Caliphate. Only under the shade of Caliphate, the 1.5 billions Muslims can be strongly united, thus protecting their dignity wherever they are, including the dignity of Muslims in Rohingya. Thus, similar brutality will never recur. Inshaallah.

 

Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakiil, ni'mal mawla wa ni'man nashiir.

Morsi takes over from Mubarak only to rekindle the peace process to safeguard the Jewish state

  • Published in Analysis
  •   |  

Uproar and commotion has erupted in Egypt over revelations that President Morsi has sent a communiqué confirming Egypt's commitment to peaceful ties with the Jewish state. In the letter sent to Shimon Peres, President of the Jewish State, Morsi states: "I am looking forward to exerting our best efforts to get the Middle East Peace Process back to its right track in order to achieve security and stability for all peoples of the region, including that Israeli people." Despite vociferous denials by Morsis's representatives, the letter appears to be genuine. The English newspaper The Guardian reported that Peres's office said the president's aides received the official communiqué on July 31st 2012 from the Egyptian ambassador to the Jewish state, both by registered mail and by fax from the Egyptian embassy in Tel Aviv. Furthermore, the paper stated that the fax number which appeared on the faxed letter was registered to the Egyptian embassy in Tel Aviv.

The appearance of the letter is not an extraordinary occurrence; rather it is a manifestation of Morsi's pledge to respect Egypt's international agreements, which includes the peace accords with Israel. The presence of the Egyptian embassy in the heartland of the Jewish state underscores Morsi's intention to have harmonious relations with the Jews.

The timing of the letter comes hot on the heels of visits to Cairo by Palestinian leaders- President Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas's political chief Khaled Meshal. After his meeting with Morsi, Abbas told reporters: "the doors of the political process with Israel are shut." Notwithstanding the close ties between Morsi's brotherhood and Hamas, no new offers were made to Meshal to ease the miserable plight of Palestinians in Gaza. In fact Morsi reaffirmed that he would not pick sides between the divided Palestinian leadership. He said, "We have said before that we stand at equal distance from all Palestinian factions. We support and aid them and are always happy to help in reconciliation."

These statements clearly point towards the fact the Morsi under Tantawi's auspices has been tasked by America to reconcile difference between the Palestinian leadership and kick start the Middle East peace process, which is designed to safeguard the security of the Jewish state. So both Morsi and Tantawi are working together and picking up pieces left behind during Mubarak's ouster to unify the Palestinian factions and re-launch the peace process. Speaking on the collaboration between Morsi and Tantawi for common goals, US Defense Secretary Panetta said, "It's my view that President Morsi and Field Marshal Tantawi have a very good working relationship and are working together for the same ends." In return America is offering Tantawi and Morsi $1.3 billion in aid to commit high treason against the ummah and continue working with America and the Jewish state.

Do not Morsi and Tantawi heed the words of Allah that explicitly warn about taking allies that are sworn enemies of the Muslim ummah? Allah says:

"Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you (O Muhammad Peace be upon him ) till you follow their religion. Say: "Verily, the Guidance of Allâh (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism) that is the (only) Guidance." [TMQ 2:120]

"O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliyâ' (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Auliyâ' of each other. And if any amongst you takes them (as Auliyâ'), then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allâh guides not those people who are the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers and unjust). "[TMQ 5:51]

The Muslims of Egypt must stand firm against the plans of the disbelieving American state to provide security and peace to the Jewish state. They must reject every proposal taken by Morsi and Tantawi that either strengthens America's hegemony over them or places Egypt's resources in the defense of the Jewish state.

The Muslims of Egypt must ensure that the resources of the country are placed in the defense of Islam and the Muslim ummah only. And that every last morsel of these resources is used in the liberation of Palestine! This can only be achieved by Muslims of Egypt uniting with their brothers in the armed forces to re-establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" state and permanently lift the state of siege and fear perpetrated by the Jewish state against the Palestinian people.

"O you who believe! answer (the call of) Allah and His Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life." [TMQ: 8:24]
