Press Release
Jordanian Government Bans the Women of Hizb ut Tahrir from Holding a Hizb ut Tahrir's Seminar Supporting the Women of Syria, Proving the Jordanian Regime's Partnership with the Criminal Assad Regime

The treachery of the acts and behaviours of the rulers and regimes of the Muslim world truly has no limits! On Saturday 27^th of April 2013, the Jordanian regime moved to ban Hizb ut Tahrir's women's conference entitled, "Hasten to Establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" to Protect the Honourable Women of Al-Sham" that was organized in support of the women and children of Syria. This despicable act to ban the conference places the Jordanian regime in full collusion and complicity with the crimes of the murderous Syrian regime against our families in Ash-Sham. Instead of turning his forces to fight the tyrant Assad to stop our families' bloodshed made permissible by the criminal Bashar in Syria, to defend the honour and dignity of our women who are violated night and day; King Abdullah chose to direct these forces to terrorize and intimidate a gathering of hundreds of women and children that included elderly grandmothers, pregnant women, and mothers with babies. By shamefully prohibiting women from expressing their support of their sisters in Syria, it accepts the heinous crimes executed by the Kufr Baathist regime against the honourable daughters of Al-Sham, proving without any possibility for doubt that the leadership in Jordan stands on the same side as Bashar's criminal regime. There is therefore not a hairbreadth of difference between Assad's regime and Abdullah's regime, but rather all the regimes of the Muslim world have gathered for the betrayal of this nation, and displayed their thirst of vengeance against its chaste and pure women!

Not only has this spineless and heartless cowardly Jordanian regime who has lost its humanity by betraying the women of Syria by abandoning them to their inevitable fate at the hands of Bashar by failing to mobilise a single soldier to defend their lives; not only has it deserted them when they sought their refuge and victory by ditching them in the Zaatari refugee "death" camp where they battle for survival; and not only has this regime committed all treacheries against the women of the Sham; but by banning this noble conference, it has multiplied its betrayal onto the blacklist and shown its willingness to even silence those who oppose the slaughter of their brothers and sisters in Syria and who support the pure struggle of the sincere revolutionaries fighting to replace this oppressive secular dictatorship with guardianship under Islamic rule.

The rulers in Jordan and the rest of the Muslim world are led according to what is drawn for them in the West to prevent the success of the sincere revolution in Syria by supporting their plots to prevent the re-establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" in Al-Sham which is known far and wide and that they realise will mean an end to Western hegemony over the Muslim world and will remove their puppets in the region who have brought nothing but suffering, poverty, and dishonouring of women.

If Abdullah and his cronies assume that through banning this event it will help secure their throne, they are blind!

(فَإِنَّهَا لا تَعْمَى الأَبْصَارُ وَلَكِن تَعْمَى الْقُلُوبُ الَّتِي فِي الصُّدُورِ) "For surely it is not the eyes that are blind, but blind are the hearts which are in the breasts." [al-Hajj: 46]  Completely on the contrary, it has only hastened their demise which will show the Muslims the urgent need to establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" system in place of these man-made systems which have no consideration for the honour and dignity of Muslim woman. This Islamic regime will restore the priceless status and high scale of dignity she deserves. If they think that through this action they will silence the women of Hizb ut Tahrir and the sincere women of Jordan from continuing their call to establish the Khilafah "Caliphate", they are deluded! Because this has only enhanced our determination in its establishment!

The women of Hizb ut Tahrir - undeterred by your aggressive behaviour towards us - stood boldly and fearlessly in protest in front of your forces in support of our sisters in Syria and against your betrayal, refusing to abandon our Ummah or leave our Islamic duty, chanting - "An honourable woman defends the honour of the honourable women!", and calling for the urgent establishment of their shield and protector, the Khilafah "Caliphate". So in all clarity, we will expose your contemptible actions to an international audience and media that will biithnillah accelerate the end of your rule.

O Muslims! O People of Power and Strength! O Sons of the Muslim armies! We invite you all to uproot these rulers for they are a cancer in the Ummah's body and a source of ruin.  We call on you to give your support to Hizb ut Tahrir to the re-establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate", and to pledge allegiance (bayah) to the honourable scholar,  eminent Mujtahid, and skilled politician, Sheikh Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah, Amir of Hizb ut Tahrir, as Khaleefah for the Muslims who will guard and protect the daughters of this Ummah, to sound the siren mobilizing the Muslim armies without hesitation or delay to defend their blood and honour in the manner that only a leader that embodies Islam in thought, action and vision will do! (إِنَّا لَنَنصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فِى ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَيَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلۡأَشۡهَـٰدُ) "Verily, We will indeed make victorious Our Messengers and those who believe in the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand forth." [TMQ Ghafir: 51]
