In Reply to John Hutton:
Concerning the Infidel Invasion and Occupation
of
The Muslim land of Afghanistan
All Praise and All Thanks are for Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to whom we shall
all return to be judged on The Last Day.
We praise Him and ask Him for help and forgiveness; and ask His protection
from the mischief of our souls and the bad results of our deeds; whomsoever
Allah guides, none can misguide; and whom He declares misguided, none can
guide to the right path; and I bear witness that there is none worthy of
worship but Allah: He is Alone, without partner. And I bear witness that
Muhammad (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) is the Messenger and Servant of
Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala).
On 13 Zul al-Qi`dah 1429 (11 November 2008 CE) the
"Defence Secretary" of the British Government, John Hutton, gave a speech in
which he made certain comments about Afghanistan and about the reasons why the
British government, and its allies, invaded and occupied that Muslim land, why
they continue to occupy it, and why they are continuing to wage war there
against those who resist this kaffir occupation.
Mr John Hutton:
First, I invite you to Islam. To the most noble, the most honourable Way of
Life, given to us in its complete, timeless, perfection by Allah Subhanahu wa
Ta'ala. If you accept, there will be - InshaAllah - the achievement of the
purpose of your brief mortal life, here in this world.
You stated that "The need to stop Taleban control of Afghanistan is as
significant as resisting Hitler's invasion of Poland..."
In case you have forgotten, it was the British government and its infidel allies
who invaded Afghanistan and who now are occupying that land, and it is the
Taliban, and their allies, who are resisting these invaders. Thus, it was - and
is - the British government and it allies who are the aggressive invaders of
another land and who are occupying that land, against the wishes of its people.
That is, it is the British government, and its kaffir allies, who are acting
like Hitler did when his army invaded Poland.
Therefore, your comparison in this respect is fundamentally flawed.
Furthermore, since you have linked the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan to
what you and your kind call "The Second World War" we should remind you that
over one and half million German "civilians" (to use a kaffir term) were
killed by the British and their allies during that war, the majority of which
civilians were directly and deliberately targeted and killed by British and
Amerikan bombs.
These killings - according to the kaffir definition used by you and your kind -
were most certainly acts of "terrorism", and therefore it is utterly
hypocritical of you, and others like you, to bewail and bemoan the killing, by a
group such as Al-Qaida, of just over three thousand people in the Washington and
New York expeditions, and of far fewer people in other attacks, such those in
London.
Indeed, it is clear from your own history, ancient and modern, that the kuffar
of the West - you and your kind - are the most blood-thirsty people in human
history, having been responsible, during your "Second World war" alone, for the
killing of over seventy million people, which is equivalent to exterminating
more than the whole population of a country such as modern day France. In
addition, if one considers the slaughter that your West have been responsible
for in the past one hundred and fifty years alone, it is equivalent to you
exterminating more than the whole population of a country such as modern day
Pakistan.
The kuffar of the West - you and your kind - have been responsible for the worst
massacres, the worst atrocities, in human history, such as the killing, by the
dropping of atomic bombs on Japan, of nearly a quarter of a million people over
only a few days.
Therefore, do not presume to lecture us about killing and atrocities.
In addition, the kuffar of the West - you and your kind - have, throughout your
history, saught to invade and occupy other lands, and set out to dominate other
peoples and to impose your own ways upon them. Thus, the kuffar of the West
rampaged throughout Africa, Asia, and North and South America, where - for
example - you set about stealing and occupying the lands of the Native American
Indians, whom you and your kaffir kind massacred in great numbers. This invasion
and occupation, by the kuffar of the West, occurred all over the world. In
Australia and New Zealand, for instance, where the land of the indigenous
peoples was stolen and appropriated, and where those indigenous peoples were
relegated to the status of inferiors, with the kuffar of the West - you and your
kind - regarding yourselves as "morally and culturally superior" to everyone
else, and demanding the natives "become civilized" and adopt your Western way of
life, something which we still hear today. For you regard yourselves and your
values as superior to us, and demand we accept your values and become like you,
and that we imitate your flawed "democratic system", or you will use force to
change us and make us comply. Thus, people like your former colleague Tony Blair
say such things as: "This is war...We will not win the battle against [them]
unless we win it at the level of values as much as force..." (Speech given to
the World Affairs Council in Los Angeles, 1427 AH) and: "Ours are not Western
values, they are the universal values..." (Speech of 23 Jumaada al-Awal 1424).
The slaughter caused by the war-mongering kuffar of the West - by you and your
kind - has not stopped, for, in The Land of The Two Rivers alone, it is
estimated that over eighty thousand people have been killed, in the last five
years, as a direct result of the invasion, of that land, by your British forces
and your Amerikan allies. How many Muslims have British and Amerikan forces now
killed in Afghanistan? How many Muslim deaths are you and your kind now
responsible for there, as a direct result of the invasion, of that land, by your
British forces and your Amerikan allies? Twenty thousand? Fifty thousand? More?
You probably do not even know the exact number of Muslims killed because of your
policies and the policies of you and your kind.
Therefore, it is utter hypocrisy for the kuffar of the West, for you and your
kind, to try and claim some sort of "moral high ground" and to claim that you
are only "bringing peace". Instead, you have brought - and are bringing - only
death, injury, suffering, occupation, and military, and political, domination.
How much Muslim blood is now upon your hands? How much Muslim blood is upon the
hands of your government, upon the hands of the people who support your
government and who aid, incite or who encourage your war against us?
As Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:
There is a sickness within which ails them and Allah has increased this
sickness because they lie even to themselves: For this, they will grievously
suffer. And when someone says to them: "Do not be so ignoble on this earth,"
They reply: "We are only bringing peace!" 2:10-11 Interpretation of
Meaning
The truth is that now you, the kuffar, have, through your blood-thirsty wars of
invasion and occupation, come to militarily and politically and economically
dominate most of the world, you have tried to change your image, to represent
yourselves - to market yourselves - as "peace makers" and as the "bringers of
peace and democracy". But if anyone or anything threatens your domination - your
hegemony - then you will use brute force to impose your will and maintain or
regain your domination, as you have so clearly shown in both The Land of the Two
Rivers and in Afghanistan.
Furthermore, your own current material success has been built upon your military
conquests, your colonialism, and by the world-wide exploitation of people and
resources for your own benefit, with this world-wide exploitation continuing
today.
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:
"You who believe [in Allah and The Last Day]: do not befriend nor rely upon
those outside [your Deen] for they will lead you astray desiring as they do
to harm you: and although hatred issues forth from their mouths what they
conceal in their hearts is far worse. Here are Signs, for those who have
Aql." 3: 118 Interpretation of Meaning
You stated that Al-Qaida has a "fury and hatred of the West and the values
that we represent."
Al-Qaida - and those who support them - certainly have a fury and a hatred of
your policies: of what you have done and are doing in our Muslim lands. For it
is your policies - your interference in our affairs for well over a hundred
years - that have brought about the current conflicts in The Land of The Two
Rivers, in Afghanistan, in occupied Filistine, and elsewhere.
For well over a hundred years you and your kind have rampaged across our lands:
invading here, occupying there; installing one puppet government after another;
supporting one corrupt regime, one corrupt ruler, after another. For well over a
hundred years you and your kind have used the threat of military force to get
your own way; and, if such threats fail, you will impose economic sanctions, and
starve people into submission as you did in Iraq, before your invasion, and as
you tried to do in Afghanistan, also before your invasion, with your sanctions
killing hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of people - of our brothers and
sisters - through starvation and disease.
It is the policies of the kuffar of the West - your interference in our affairs
- which is the problem, which is the crux off the matter. Were you to cease your
interference in our affairs, our attacks on you - which are minuscule compared
to your attacks upon us - would cease.
It is you who have brought down some retribution upon yourselves for your
arrogant and bullying meddling in our affairs. Thus, in your arrogance, you sold
the Muslim land of Filistine to the Zionists, dispossessing millions of our
brothers and sisters, who homes, whose livelihoods were destroyed, and who now
live under a brutal government of occupation which you have supported and which
you continue to support. Thus, in your arrogance, you partitioned up the Land
of Al-Sham, The Land of the Two Rivers, manufacturing modern nations such as
Iraq according to your Taghut, your infidel dogma, of nationalism. Thus, in your
arrogance, you - long before your current invasion of Afghanistan - invaded and
occupied and dominated India and saught to extend your writ to Afghanistan,
fighting what you called three "Anglo-Afghan Wars" in order to try and dominate
that land of the Muslims. Thus, in your arrogance, you invaded and occupied
Egypt, and made its government and its peoples subservient to you. And so on and
so on. The list of your interference in our affairs - recent and past - is long
and extensive. How many Muslims have you killed during this time? How many have
your allies killed on your behalf? Many millions. How many of our brothers and
sisters have you and your allies imprisoned? How many have been tortured?
It is you and your interference which are the problem. Are you so ignorant, so
in thrall to your own lies and propaganda, that you cannot understand this
simple fact? Are you so blind to the truth that you cannot see why we resist
your occupation of our lands and why we fight those puppet allies of yours whom
you have imposed upon us by military force and whom you openly support in order
to maintain your control over us and our lands?
Yes - we are somewhat furious with you and your kind, especially since you
continue to kill and injure and inflict suffering upon our people, upon our
Muslim brothers and sisters, and especially since you continue to interfere in
our affairs, and especially since you hypocritically pontificate about "your
values" and about your decadent, profane, way of life, while you continue to
swagger around the world, murdering and imprisoning any Muslim you choose.
The values that you represent are not our values: we do not want them, nor your
infidel, Western, way of life. We reject this way of life. We have our own
Muslim values, our own unique Way of Life. Why cannot you leave us to establish
our own communities and have control over our own affairs and live as we desire
to live, as Muslims, loyal to only Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala?
Or is that you cannot and will not allow this - will not tolerate a Muslim land
free from your interference, and governed only by Shariah - because in your
heart you know us for the people of culture, the people of civilization, the
noble warriors, that we are, and that because you know that our unique Way of
Life, once established and revealed as a working, living, example for others,
reveals your own values and your own way of life for the profane, decadent,
ignoble things they are, and reveals you for the war-mongering hypocritical
deceitful dishonourable bullies that you have been and still are?
Why else, for instance, do you and your infidel kind treat a Muslim such as Abu
Qatada as you do? Do you fear what he might say so much that you have to forbid
him - directly contrary to our Way of Life - from even going to a Mosque? Do
you fear what he might say or write so much that you have to forbid him from
travelling, from even meeting anyone, from speaking to anyone, directly or by
telephone or message text? Do you fear what he might say or write so much that
you forbid him from having access to the outside world, such as via the
Internet? Do you fear his words so much that you have to imprison him in his
home and raid his home anytime you wish in order to seize and destroy anything
he might have written, and then rush to imprison him, again, in solitary
confinement, when you even suspect he may have breached one of the tyrannical,
draconian, conditions you impose upon his life?
You are rightly fearful of us, and of the noble truth we represent, for this
truth dooms you and your profane dishonourable world.
As Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:
"Thus We have made you [Muslims], a Wasat (just and noble) people, that you
be examples for all other peoples as the Messenger (Muhammad) is an example
for you." 2: 143 Interpretation of Meaning
You stated that: "We all can remember, I hope, what the risk to the UK and
our friends and allies was, when Afghanistan was run by the Taleban."
What risk? Did the Taliban threaten to invade Britain, or Europe, or Amerika?
No. Did the Taliban threaten to deploy "weapons of mass destruction" against
you? No. Did they even possess "weapons of mass destruction"? No.
The simple truth is you were determined to get your own way and - as happened a
few years later in The Land of the Two Rivers - you used some excuse, and
manufactured some lies, in order to try and justify your naked aggression.
In the case of the land you call Iraq, you manufactured the lie of Saddam
possessing "weapons of mass destruction" in order to try and justify your
invasion and occupation of that land.
In the case of Afghanistan, you used the pretext of the Taliban sheltering
Sheikh Usama Bin Muhammad Bin Ladin (hafidhahullah) in order to try and justify
your invasion and occupation of that land, whereas the reality, the truth, was
that you demanded - without presenting any evidence whatsoever - that the
Taliban, at that time the government of Afghanistan, hand over to you someone
who was their guest and thus under their protection.
Thus did you and your allies behave as the aggressive bullies you are known to
us to be, as revealed by both your own history and by ours. For you demanded
that Sheikh Usama Bin Muhammad Bin Ladin (hafidhahullah) be arrested and stand
trial in your land, according to your laws, and stated that if the Taliban did
not do as you demanded, then you would use force to get your own way.
The Taliban, quite reasonably and, from a Muslim view, correctly - and with
great dignity - replied that if you presented evidence they would consider it,
and that if they considered that a prosecution was warranted, they would try
him, in Afghanistan according to Shariah, according to Muslim law. But you
arrogantly dismissed this and just became bellicose and angry and prepared to
invade Afghanistan, setting in motion, using your vast resources and wealth, a
veritable tirade of world-wide propaganda directed at the Taliban, thus trying
to condition your own people and others for the invasion and occupation that you
were already planning and were determined at all costs to undertake.
Thus did you reveal - yet again - that you did not respect either Muslims or the
Muslim Way of Life. Thus did you reveal - yet again - your utter contempt for
Shariah, for our Muslim values. Thus did you reveal - yet again - your
arrogance, your insolence, and your basic war-mongering nature.
For you - like all bullies - only respect those who are prepared to do what you
say or who are prepared to give in to your demands. Thus, the only Muslims you
respect are those prepared to be your allies: those prepared to accept your
values and imitate your own way of life; those prepared to live under the laws
of the kuffar, of the infidels, instead of under Shariah.
But, those Muslims who do not give in to your demands, who refuse to be your
allies, who refuse to do what you demand, who refuse to imitate your own infidel
way of life, who reject your infidel values, you describe as "terrorists", or as
"supporters of terrorists", or as "extremists", or as "preachers of hate", and
you imprison them, or kill them, or torture them, or try and "brainwash" them
until they accept your values, or you try and restrict what these Muslims can
say and do and where they can go.
Thus did your former colleague Blair say - in the month of Rajab, 1427 - that
the war against us, the war against those who oppose you, was about
"modernization within Islam" by which he meant Muslims either accepting infidel
values and the infidel way of life, or accepting the tame, domestic,
infidel-loving, non-violent, so-called "moderate, modern, Islam" which you and
your allies have manufactured and which you demand we accept, which "moderate
Islam", of course, allows you to keep control of our lands and continue your
interference in our affairs.
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says
"If you obey the Kafiroon, they will turn you away from your Deen and thus
your own life will be a failure." 3: 149 Interpretation of Meaning
The fundamental truth that you and your kind ignore is that the Mujahideen in
Afghanistan - the Taliban - are resisting the occupation of their land by
foreigners, by infidels; they are fighting a government of occupation which was
set up by, and which is supported by, these foreign infidels. The Mujahideen
desire to establish a Muslim way of life in Afghanistan.
But the foreign infidels, you and your kind, insist that Afghanistan - that all
Muslim lands - must submit to the ways of the infidels, and must therefore
accept "Western values and the Western way of life", which includes democracy
and subservience to the so-called "United Nations" which was created by those
foreign infidels, by you and your kind, to enforce and to "legalize", to
legitimize, the world-wide domination of the infidels of the West.
However, as it was authentically reported, the Prophet (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa
sallam) said:
"A section of my community will continue to fight for what is honourable
and overcome their opponents till the last of them fights against the
Dajjal." Abu Dawud, 14, 2478 Narrated Imran ibn Husayn
As Sheikh ul-Islam ibn Taimiyyah (Rahimullah) said:
"It is agreed that it [Jihad] is obligatory to protect our Deen and what is
sacred. The first obligation after Eeman is the repulsion of the enemy who
demeans and insults our Way of Life and who interferes in our affairs."
(Refer to Al Ikhtiyaraat Al Fuqaha and Fatawa Kubra 4, 608)
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala says:
"Say to those of the dwellers of the desert who held themselves back: You
shall soon be invited (to fight) against a people who are extremely
arrogant; you will fight against them until they submit. And if you obey (in
this), Allah will grant you an excellent reward, while if you turn away
(from this) as you turned away before, He will punish you with a painful
punishment." 48: 16 Interpretation of Meaning
Therefore, and in conclusion, I ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to give victory to
the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, in The Land of The Two Rivers, and elsewhere, and
I ask that the banner of Tawheed fly triumphantly again over all the lands of
the Muslims.
May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala protect us from all forms of Al-asabiyyah Al-Jahiliyyah,
forgive us for our mistakes, guide us to and keep us on the Right Path. Wa
Allahu Allam.
