Press Release
The Zionists Kill the Muslims in Palestine and Judaize Masjid Al-Aqsa Whilst the “Revolutionary” government in Tunisia is Placing Officers and Soldiers at their Disposal for their Protection and Facilitation of “Their Pilgrimage” every year
(Translated)

The ‘Unity’ government in Tunisia provided permission for 50 people holding passports of the criminal Jewish entity to pollute the Tunisian ground. They are led by Rafael Cohen, a Rabbi from the extreme Jewish Shas party who supported Sharon in the killing of our brothers and children in captive Palestine. The government has made our land permissible to the terrorist enemy under the pretext of “pilgrimage” to the Western Ghriba synagogue that was completed on Thursday the 26^th of May 2016 and under this (exposed) cover the ministers of the government received them with honour and welcoming! At the head of which was the minister of tourism, the minister of culture and the minister of religious affairs whilst many of the politicians by trade did not fall behind from the appointment. And so “Al-Hajj” Abdul Fattah Moro and Mohsin Marzuq amongst many others were amongst those who wanted to see their western masters in a loyal, serving and obedient manner.

And so in this way, this group met together for this ‘Jewish Pilgrimage’ which represents a brazen challenge to the sons of the Ummah in Tunisia and their sentiments, and that is particularly as the Jewish terrorists and their state are slaughtering our brother from the people of Palestine on a daily basis whilst they lay siege to Masjid Al-Aqsa, wanting to demolish it and prevent many of the Muslims of Palestine from performing their prayer there.

O Muslims in Tunisia the land of ‘Uqbah (bin Naafi’) and the frontier of the Mujahideen:

Verily, this government, in every single one of its actions and in every one of its statements, is a replica of the governments of Bourguiba and Ben Ali, except that they are a weak lustreless replica that does not have the strength to do anything apart from submit to the colonialist. Its parliamentary members, its ministers and its media challenge your sentiments that emanate from the great Deen of Islam and attack what is known in your Deen by necessity. Indeed, this government is serious to separate you from your natural Islamic extensions and particularly from the land that Allah has blessed its surroundings, Palestine. It works day and night to tie and bind you to the disbeliever West in the case where it has accepted it, followed it and given its loyalty. It wants you to be lackeys to your European masters who have brought suffering and hardship to humanity as a result of their oppressive and ruthless capitalism and its corrupt and destructive systems of life.

As for you, O people of power and strength, O officers and soldiers within the security and army:

We consider you above being content and pleased with these disgraceful actions of your rulers in respect to their loyal following of the colonialists and we refuse for you the garb of humiliation and disgrace just as Allah, His Messenger and the believers refuse it. The government has allowed you to be brought low and humiliated the day that it utilised you to be guards for the protection of your enemy usurper of Al-Quds the destination of your noble Prophet’s night journey (saw) and the killer of your brothers (and remember the butcher murderer of Masjid Al-Ibrahimi in Al-Khalil (Hebron) who killed Muslims in that Ramadhan whilst they were praying the Fajr prayer in response to the Fatwaa of the Jewish rabbis, the friends and companions of this Rafael Cohen).

O officers, O soldiers in the security and the army:

Are you pleased and content with this? Are you content to be servants to your enemies and the killers of your brothers??? Is there from you a man (and we have not known you to be other than men) that accepts to say: The Jews kill the Muslims in Palestine and Judaize Masjid Al-Aqsa whilst the Tunisian army and their police protect them and facilitate “their pilgrimage” annually??

Indeed, we have not known you to be other than Muslim men who are earnestly concerned for their dignities and honours.

We address you today to remind you that the Muslims in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Tunisia and every Islamic land are «أمة من دون الناس»“One Ummah to the exclusion of (all) the people” and «كالجسد الواحد إذا اشتكى منه عضو تداعى له سائر الجسد بالحمى والسهر»“Like one body, when one part of it complains the rest of the body responds with fever and sleeplessness”… We remind you with the Speech of Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla:

[وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَيُطِيعُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ أُولَئِكَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمُ اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ]

“The believing men and women are allies to one another. They enjoin what is right and they forbid what is wrong and establish the prayer and give the Zakaah and they obey Allah and His Messenger. Those, Allah will have mercy upon them. Indeed, Allah is exalted in Might and Wise” [At-Taubah: 71].

And of the statement of the Messenger of Allah (saw): «المسلمون يد على من سواهم» “The Muslims are a hand against anyone who is other than them”… And we remind you that what this government did by receiving those enemies is a betrayal of your brothers in Palestine and that our Noble Messenger (saw) has taught us that:

«المسلم أخو المسلم لا يسلمه ولا يخذله»

“The Muslim is the brother of the Muslim, he does not hand him over and he does not betray him”. And we have not known you to be other than Muslims.

We, O officers and soldiers, are assured that you have the burning desire to go to the support of Bait ul-Maqdis and the vicinities of Bait ul-Maqdis to cleanse it of the filth of the usurping Jews. Just as you have the burning desire to go to the support of every Islamic land that the disbeliever colonialists occupy. However, we realise that this government will never lead you to accomplish what you seek in terms of providing support to the Haqq (truth) and its people. That is because they do not rule by the Book of Allah Al-‘Azeez, do not make Jihad in the way of Allah and do not even think about or contemplate doing so. Rather, they show their open loyalty to the enemies of Allah and your enemies.

This goal and objective of yours is great but is too much for those small people, and it cannot be accomplished except by a leadership that believes in Allah and His Messenger and are not content or pleased with any alternative to the Deen of Allah, Al-Islam, which Allah has chosen for His servants, and who do not give their loyalty to the colonialist enemies of the Muslims. Indeed, we, Hizb ut Tahrir, are from you and you are from it. It is amongst you and with you, working day and night for the sake of Allah’s word being raised the highest, for the sake the complete liberation from colonialism and for the sake of the ‘Izzah (might and honour) belonging to the Muslims and Islam as Allah (swt) has affirmed in His Kitaab Al-‘Azeez:

[وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ]

“And to Allah belongs the honour and to His Messenger and to the believers but the hypocrites do not know” [Al-Munafiqun: 8].

So be with us to give the pledge of allegiance (Bai’ah) to the Khalifah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) has left for us, who will rule us so as to take care of us by the Book of Allah, will get angry for the Deen of Allah to be violated, adamant against the blood of the Muslims to be spilt, unite the Muslims, correct the irrelevant borders, safeguard the frontiers, lead the armies who have been held back in the barracks to liberate the occupied lands of the Muslims, so as to restore our Quds, the destination of the Prophet’s journey, back to us, and all of the Muslim lands whilst the enemies of Allah and the Messenger and the whispers of Shaytan will be made to be forgotten. And that Day is not far away because it is the promise of Allah to His believing servants.

Heed the Speech of Allah Ta’Aalaa:

[وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِي الزَّبُورِ مِنْ بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ أَنَّ الْأَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحُونَ * إِنَّ فِي هَذَا لَبَلَاغًا لِقَوْمٍ عَابِدِينَ]

“And we have already written in the Zaboor after the previous mention, that the land of [Paradise] is inherited by My righteous servants. Indeed, in this [Qur’aan] is notification for a worshipping people” [Al-Anbiyaa’ 105-6].
