Only the return of the Khilafah will silence those who attack Islam |

This
week has seen new heights of arrogance as the Dutch MP Geert Wilders
has released a film that attacks Islam, in particular the Noble Quran.
Wilders has called for a ban on the Quran in the name of the defence of
"freedom". It is this "freedom" that he and others use to uphold the
release of this film, which like the disgusting Danish cartoons, was
designed to offend, provoke and incitehatred towards Islam and Muslims.
This is the same "freedom" they wish every Muslim country to adopt as
their values system though it is far away from thenoble Islamic values.
For this western idea that permits the open abuse ofother people and
their beliefs can never bring harmony to any society, as Islam
successfully managed to do over centuries.
In
their hypocrisy they contradict this "freedom" by calling for a ban on
thehijab, the niqaab, political parties who speak out against western
imperialism and now the Noble Quran itself. Such selective application
of "freedom" is yet more proof that this is a war on Islam and not a
war on terror!
The
claim that Secular Europe is some bastion of tolerance seems laughable
in the face of the attacks by secular extremists towards millions of
Muslims. But in truth Europe still suffers from its historic
persecution of minorities. Muslims are often told that our responses
are too emotional but their attacks on Islam are little more than
vitriolic hatred. When it comes to Islam they make emotional rants and
spread lies, whilst it is the Quran that appeals to the rational mind
to think and debate about man's creation and purpose.
Meanwhile,
the governments in Europe that support a war on Islam, occupation in
Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine, and support for tyrants in the Muslim
lands welcome this propaganda to fuel their imperialist adventures. For
it is not merely the media who engage in this propaganda. Recently when
seventeen Danish newspapers all reprinted the filthy and blasphemous
cartoons Germany's Interior Minister called for all European newspapers
to similarly publish them.
The
Muslim world cries out against these hostile acts, but western
politicians and media sustain this attack without fear of any
repercussions politically, economically or even militarily. Whilst the
newspapers publish these evil cartoons, western politicians either
remain silent about this hate filled propaganda or actually join in the
attack. Yet, no Muslim country has severed its diplomatic ties with
such countries. Their embassies in the Muslim world are accorded full
respect and not one of their ambassadors has been reprimanded. Oil from
the Muslim lands continues to provide energy the machines
that print this filth. No regime in the Muslim world has withdrawn
their money from their banks to shake the economies of these countries.
Given
this, why would the West have anything to fear when defaming Islam, the
Prophet of Islam (saw) and the Qur'an? Could they ever fear the
spineless rulers of the Muslims lands who have abandoned Islam and
surrendered their lands and resources? These regimes fought against the
return of the Khilafah, and those who work to revive the Khilafah. They
imprison, torture and even martyr them. These rulers only care about
protecting their thrones, their power and their wealth. They care
nothing about protecting Islam and its lands, even if the deen is
humiliated, the Muslims countries are attacked and occupied.
Dear brothers and sisters
Only
the return of the Khilafah will stop the relentless slander of Islam;
for the Khilafah stands not for any throne, material power or personal
interest, but for Islam. Violating Islam's sanctities is an act of
aggression against Islam for which the Khilafah would mobilise all its
strength to respond, such that the enemies of Islam could never think
of speaking ill of Islam. In the past the colonialist states were
fearful of the Khilafah's stern
response and rarely dared to speak ill of Islam. They were shaken by
the mere thought of the response and backed down even for relatively
minor violations, never mind the current attacks on the Quran and the
Prophet of Islam (saw).
George
Bernard Shaw wrote in his diaries in 1913, at the time when the
Khilafah was at its weakest, that he was prevented by Lord Chamberlain
from writing anything derogatory about RasulAllah (saw) because he was
scared of the reaction of the Ambassador of the Uthmani Khilafah in
London!
Brothers and sisters
Whoever
truly loves RasulAllah (saw) and the Quran al-Kareem should stand up
and work sincerely to re-establish the Khilafah. Whoever feels pain
from the calls to ban the Quran al-Kareem and the evil cartoons
defaming RasulAllah (saw) should strive to re-establish the Khilafah.
Whoever reveres the Quran as the Word of Allah must work to
re-establish the Khilafah because Allah (swt) says in this same Quran:
"So judge between them by that which Allah has revealed and follow not their desires away from the truth that has come to you."
[Translated meaning Quran Surah Maidah 5:48]
Brothers and Sisters,
Here
in Europe the work for re-establishing the Khilafah involves building
strong Islamic communities calling for an Islamic leadership in the
Muslim world that will stand up for Islam. It also involves engaging
with the wider non-Muslim society in dispelling the myths and
propaganda against Islam and showing them how Islam is the solution to
the chaos and disorder that prevails in the world today.
Join
with Hizb ut-Tahrir and be part of the global movement to re-establish
the Khilafah that will rule and lead the Ummah by the Qur'an and the
Sunnah of the Messenger (SAW).
"In it is the message for those who worship Allah."
[Translated meaning Quran Surah al-Anbiya 21:106]
