Once again Kenya has been awakened by the mass killing of more than 50 people in a brutal attack at Mpeketoni Township South west of Lamu Island on Sunday night. This is the major attack since the Westgate siege last September. The question that we ask the security stakeholders and the Government in general is until when are we going to witness these bloodsheds?

This massacre is a sign of total failure of the Government in protecting the blood and the properties of the people. This situation has instigated fear within the hearts of citizens, dreading even to walk to shops, restaurants and other public places. The most bitter and hurtful part is how the security authorities have the pride that they are at the top of the matter and there is no reason for the citizens to have fear!! This is a true picture of secular leaders who are well known in issuing lip service rather than actions. Even those who call themselves opposition leaders they follow the same suit in taking security issue as a political mileage without having any real solution. Hence security agents within secular regimes protect only the leaders and not the common people. The most part that draws more attention is how we see security officials beefing up security during the voting days across the country urging the public to vote peacefully.

Yes indeed, this is a true image of the secular regimes including the United Kingdom and United States which boastfully show they care the safety of their citizens while indeed their own citizens are killing one another. Furthermore how many times do these two nations kill their own people only to blame Muslims for those killings? The reality remains that the Western nations aim at plundering resources of the weak nations and so they are planning to turn them into the battlefield. We feel that they are now driving Kenya in that direction.

We state that insecurity is one of many pressing problem facing the citizen living under Secular Governments. We openly say it is only under Khilafah "Caliphate" state where blood, religion and property of the people will be protected and preserved. This is because Khilafah "Caliphate" will take security issue as one of the basic needs of the public hence taking full responsibility at all costs.
