It is now high time that our armed forces moved to wipe out the American military bases in Pakistan

On 27 August 2009, the US Ambassador, Anne Patterson, addressed the media in the wake of numerous reports of America building military bases throughout Pakistan. There are reports that America has rented hundreds of houses in the capital and bought eighteen acres of Islamabad for a mere one billion Rupees for building a huge embassy, with a staff well in excess of the 350 staff that is allowed for any embassy, including hundreds of armed US soldiers. There are also reports of the launching in Peshawar of the American private military organization Blackwater,which was hired by the US State Department in Iraq and raped and murdered many Muslims alongside the US army. And there are reports that America is supervising construction of facilities in Jacobabad to launch drone attacks from within Pakistan, complete with US military personnel to determine the targets.

But as is typical of such press conferences by American officials, in their arrogance and contempt of Muslims, they only provide more fuel for the anger of the Muslims with their so-called “assurances.” The US Ambassador “assured” the Muslims that the embassy of hundreds of rooms is so large that it will take almost seven years to build and would indeed be protected by US marines. And she did not stop there, adding that America will also expand its Karachi embassy as well as build a new consulate in Peshawar, which amounts to a military expansion into NWFP and Sindh provinces as a support for the new military base in the capital. She also confirmed that America is expanding its presence in order to supervise the spending of billions of dollars for the sake of its interests, almost all of which will be spent through a web of American agencies that are already given free reign by the Zardari government.

O Muslims of Pakistan!

It is an open secret that the American embassies around the world are bases for spying and covert operations. American embassies enable the infiltration and funding of organizations that cause misery and injury to peoples from South America to Indonesia. As for the diplomats in such embassies, they consider intrusion in the internal affairs of the host country’s an integral part of their professional duties, ordering and forbidding according to the needs of the America. This military expansion reminds us of the British imperialists who first pleaded for soldiers to protect the trading interests of their East India Company. But then after gradual, unrelenting expansion, building fortresses and deploying thousands of troops, the kuffar were able to establish a Raj and rule over the Muslims directly.

As far as the current rulers, they have exceeded even the former traitor ruler, Musharraf, in treachery. Allowing the severest enemy of Muslims, whose troops have raped the Muslim daughters and defiled the Qur’an, to build military bases throughout Pakistan is a new chapter in high treason. And rather than prevent a new American Raj, Zardari and his henchmen facilitate its construction at every stage through denials, false assurances and distractions. By doing so, these democratic leaders have once again proved that democracy cannot solve Pakistan’s problems; rather, democracy in itself is the root cause of the ills of Pakistan. In fact, in democracy, just like in dictatorship, the kuffar are able to ensure laws, policies and rules to protect their own interests.

O Muslims of Pakistan!

Whether it is a dictator of the likes of Musharraf or a democrat of the likes of Zardari, they are all one and the same thing. Their only aim is to trade away your security and well-being, and that of future generations, to America in exchange for their thrones. If these rulers are not stopped immediately and decisively, the cowardly Americans, who are struggling to secure their occupation in Afghanistan, will extend their occupation within Pakistan without firing a single shot, achieving an upper hand from which they can inflict greater harm that they neither deserve nor could achieve were it not for the agent rulers. Allah سبحانه وتعالى warned the Muslims,

إِنْ يَثْقَفُوكُمْ يَكُونُوا لَكُمْ أَعْدَاءً وَيَبْسُطُوا إِلَيْكُمْ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُمْ بِالسُّوءِ وَوَدُّوا لَوْ تَكْفُرُونَ

“Should they gain the upper hand over you, they would behave to you as enemies, and stretch forth their hands and their tongues against you with evil, and they desire that you should disbelieve.” [Surah Mumtahina 60:2]

It is your responsibility to remove the collar of slavery from around your necks and mobilize with full force to prevent the building of American military bases in Pakistan. Cast aside these rulers, for whom oppression is a way of life and treachery is a habit, or face abandonment from Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Allah سبحانه وتعالى said,

وَلاَ تَرْكَنُوا إِلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءَ ثُمَّ لاَ تُنصَرُونَ

“And incline not toward those who oppress, lest the Fire should touch you, and you have no protectors other than Allah, nor would you then be helped.” [Surah Hud 11: 113]

Reclaim the authority which is your right, mobilize with Hizb ut-Tahrir to uproot these wretched rulers, tools of the colonialists, and establish the Khilafah in their place, with a rightly guided Khaleefah who will eliminate all colonialist influence within the Muslim lands and mobilize all of the resources of the Muslims for the supremacy of the Muslims.

O People of Power! O Muslims of the Armed Forces!

Eight years, dear brothers, it has been eight years, since America began to demand from us to assist her in her evil project. She demanded our bases, our air corridors and our logistics support to invade the region. She then demanded that Pakistan is opened up further to her intelligence agencies. She then demanded that you sit silently as she struck with her drones here and there. She then demanded that you spill your pure Muslim blood in her defense, first demanding you move in Swat and now demanding that you move in Waziristan, the real cause for her anguish in Afghanistan for all these years.

And even after all these years and all of these demands, she seeks to expand her infrastructure so she is in a better position to watch over you, command and instruct you, order and forbid you! Is this not enough, already, for you to move and give the Americans the reply that they really deserve? Is it not high time you give Nussrah to Hizb ut-Tahrir for re-establishing the Khilafah? Should the seventh largest armed forces in the world, with soldiers motivated by Eeman, not now move to change the situation of the Ummah from one of disgrace and humiliation to that of dignity and victory? Allah سبحانه وتعالى said,

قَاتِلُوهُمْ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللَّهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ وَيُخْزِهِمْ وَيَنْصُرْكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَشْفِ صُدُورَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ

“Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands, and disgrace them, and give you victory over them, and heal the breasts of a believing people.” [Surah At-Tawbah 9:14]
