Press Release
(Translated)
On Friday the 28th of October, Morocco witnessed
a truly horrific crime, epitomised in the murder of a young man, Mohsin Fikri,
pulverised and crushed in a garbage collection truck, whilst he was struggling
for his livelihood. Just like that and without mercy!
This horrific crime which indicated clearly the regime’s
contempt and disdain to the people stirred the Moroccan street having witnessed
dozens of marches and huge angry protests in support of the honour and dignity
of Mohsin Fikri and to his right and through that, the dignity of the people of
the country as a whole. The protesters stopped in front of the police stations
raising the slogan “Murderers and criminals” …
This popular tide indicates proof that the Islamic Ummah hoards
a severe hatred towards its regimes whatever they are named. It represents a
blatant evidence that Morocco boasts about a fake stability and that it resorts
to misrepresentation to contain a latent revolution against the Moroccan
government and against the regime as a whole.
The regime has become deceived about its capability to
contain after having closed the door to the crimes of Al-Hasan II and the bleak
dark days of his rule. After the overwhelming 20th February movement
in 2011 within the context of the Arab revolutions, and after the
accomplishment of distractive elections which more than half of the people
boycotted, we say to all… Enough with the delay, enough of the experimentation,
enough of looking for excuses for these failure agent regimes… It is not hidden
from anyone that the regime in Morocco has abandoned the issues of the Ummah
and acts arrogantly in respect to them. Its recognition of the Jewish entity long
ago and its efforts to accomplish this entity’s penetration into the Arab lands
is nothing other than a greater evidence that this regime represents a burden
upon this Ummah and its people… And have our people in Morocco forgotten the
barbaric torture and the atrocities of the prisons during the time of King
Hasan II and how they represented a descent below humanity and a insolent
challenge to Allah and His Messenger…
The crime of the murder of Mohisn Fikri, in this cruelty,
is clear evidence that the ruling class in Morocco is extremely arrogant and
severed from the people and the Ummah…
The hope, all the hope in our people in Morocco, is for their
protests to be ripe and mature and that they define an explicit objective adopted
by everyone. That means making Morocco a support point for the Ummah’s project,
the Islamic State, the rightly guided Khilafah (Caliphate) upon the methodology
of the Prophethood. And that these protests contain an awareness that makes the
people of Morocco not turn for patchwork or misleading solutions. That is
because the affliction has already gone on for so long, the agony has multiplied,
the sin has magnified and time has been wasted.
Tell this regime that boasts of its ability to mislead,
dissipate and distract, ENOUGH! We have understood, we have pinpointed our
issue, and we hope that we will not have entered into these protests only to be
used by colonial parties to divert them from its path to take control over
them…
That is because it is
not permissible to call for separation, division, secularism or nationalism.
Rather, the call must be explicitly for Islam… And to the ruling system that
will make Morocco a beacon that the Ummah gathers around to complete its unity…
Indeed, how great is the good within Morocco and how amazing is their deep
concern for the Ummah’s issues… Let us hope that this time it is rightly guided
and decisive.
