The United States commits war crimes in Afghanistan - including assisting in the massacre of Taliban fighters in Mazar-i-Sharif - and few if any voices are heard demanding the criminals involved be brought to "justice".

The United States - according to scores of eye-witness accounts - bombs villages and mosques, killing civilians, and then hypocritically lies that such bombings and such killings were either a "mistake", or done because the targets were known "military targets", even those the villages bombed by mistake were often bombed two or three or more times, on different days. And few if any voices in the West are heard demanding the people who carried out - and planned - such attacks be brought "to justice".

The United States imprisons captured and disarmed soldiers and subjects them to hours of brutal interrogation, then clandestinely takes them to an unknown destination for further interrogation (including the forcible injection of drugs), in clear violation of honourable, civilized, conduct, never mind in violation of the international laws the United States itself purports to uphold. And few if any voices in the West are heard stating that the United States has violated the "human rights" of these prisoners or demanding that the United States be held responsible for such human rights abuses, or even demanding that these prisoners be given access to neutral legal representatives.

The United States contemptuously and hypocritically rejects the deployment of any neutral observers or even UN representatives in "sensitive" areas, thus enabling the Northern Alliance, and US Special Forces and CIA agents to "take the law into their own hands", just as the United States has contemptuously and hypocritically rejected the deployment of UN "peace-keeping" forces until, quote: "The job we came to do is done..." And few if any voices in the West are raised in opposition to this arrogance and hypocrisy.

America has arrogantly set itself up as some omnipotent power: it is trying to usurp those things which rightly belong to God alone. For it and it alone wishes to decide what is right, what is wrong; what is lawful, what is unlawful, just as it has now decided it can do exactly what it wants, anywhere in the world, and no one can stop it.

In addition, it tries to cover up its absues, its criminal acts, by brazen hypocritical lies.

Because of these and similar things the American government, and those who support it or who ally themselves with it, have become the enemies of all true Muslims.

Allah (SWT) knows best.
