Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair considered in his weekly column in the newspaper, Mail on Sunday, on Sunday May 2nd commenting on the killing of the British soldier, Lee Rigby, that it proves that “there is a problem within Islam” and went on saying that “there is a problem within Islam – from the adherents of an ideology which is a strain within Islam. We have to put it on the table and be honest about it”.

The grim western hate has finally been unleashed, and the poison hate in their hearts has been announced, after years of the deceit of accusing Muslims of terrorism while trying to display good intentions by exonerating Islam. Now the masks of hypocrisy and fraud have shattered, and they declare it openly and shamelessly, by condemning Islam with descriptions of terrorism, intolerance, extremism, and radicalism, and that all the problems of the Earth are nothing but the outcome of the ideas and concepts of Islam!

Is there any doubt now that this war is purely a Crusade?! After today, is there anyone hesitant or confused about that the West only shows the colors of malice and hatred toward Muslims out of hate towards Islam as a religion, belief and way of life?!

All the West’s attempts to distance the discussion about Islam, and place blame to a few Muslims that “do not represent Islam” as they claim, have failed. Instead today it is irrevocably evident that when the West accuses the Muslims or a group of Muslims of terrorism, that this accusation is made at nothing other than Islam. And with it fell all the calls for “coexistence of civilizations” and the culture of “interfaith dialogue”, for there is nothing in the bag of the West except for poisoned hatred and buried resentment. Today it has become impossible to disguise or conceal, instead exposed the evil that was buried for many years.

Tony Blair, the war criminal and killer of children in Iraq, has forgotten or tried to forget his soot blackened history, for he is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of the innocent, most of them children, women and elderly, who were killed without evidence or suspicion, so where is the problem?! Is it Islam or your savage capitalism, and your barbaric imperialistic greed and filthy wars that covered the world in rivers of blood, with a pretext weaker than that of a spider’s web?! Where are the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?! Instead, you are the mass destruction, nothing but your culture, ideas and foul morals.

The killing of innocent Muslims and non-Muslims, like the Muslim elder Sheikh of 70 years, Muhammad Salim in the British city of Birmingham, or the puncturing of a man’s eye in front of the Central Mosque in London, and even the killing of the British Lee Rigby, is all blameworthy in Allah’s religion. But this is not the issue; the issue is that you have declared, in the words of your other criminal leader, that this is a Crusade on Islam before Muslims.

Your explicit hostility and insult should be a call to the Muslims of the world to reinforce us, and join their hands with the members of Hizb ut Tahrir, and their Ameer, the eminent scholar and sincere leader Ata bin Khalil Abu Rashta, to rescue the world from the brutality of the West with the establishment of the Khilafah, for there is no defender of Islam and its people, or savior from the ills of the Earth and pains of humanity except Islam, with its purity and righteousness and justice, even if Blair, Bush and all the Disbelievers hate it.

قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَاء مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الآيَاتِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

“Hatred has appeared out of their mouths, but what their breasts hide is far worse. We have made the Signs clear to you if you use your intellect.”
