Islamic Revival

"Musharraf’s visit to five Arab capitals and four Muslim countries cannot be divorced from America’s overall plan for Iraq and the broader Middle East--the heart of which is the settlement of the protracted Arab-Israeli conflict. It was no coincidence that Musharraf’s trip came after the publication of the Baker-Hamilton report and Bush’s State of the Union address." Over the years, General Musharraf has been given undue credit for plans which appear to be home-grown solutions to domestic and international problems that involve Pakistan and the Muslim ummah. But often enough these schemes turn out to be American initiatives designed to perpetuate US hegemony over Pakistan and the Muslim world. The present educational reforms, structural changes to the economy, the normalisation drive with India, the infamous Kashmir plan and peace-deals with the tribal agencies--to mention a few-- were all conceived in Washington and Musharraf was simply given the task of executing them. Mush

The following is a draft translation from arabic. From the Media Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Lebanon 16th Muharram, 1428 A.H 4th February, 2007 C.E Statement on Hizb’s visits to quell dissension During the past several weeks, delegations from Hizb ut-Tahrir called on various authorities with the intention of containing the religious congestion or blockages and quelling bloodshed as a result of conspiracies, which are being fanned by various international parties and promoted by different regional outfits with the support of manipulative groups at the local level either knowingly or unwittingly. This certainly is not in the interest of anyone whether friendly or those who oppose. Among these delegations: The first delegation comprising: Dr. Mohammad Jaber, Dr. Mohammad al-Abdallah, Engineer Othman Bakhaash, Engineer Bilal Zaidan, Engineer Saleh Salam, Engineer Salah Adhadah, Mr. Mohammad Essa and Mr. Mohammad Hamoud called on: H.E. Shaikh Abdul Ameer Qablan, the Vice President of the Hi

The US has mobilized its surrogates in the region to prepare the ground for the emergence of a new middle east. What follows is a brief summary of what America is planning to achieve in Palestine, Iraq and Iran. Over the past few months, the Bush administration in the backdrop of the Iraq Study Group’s (ISG) report has announced its plan for Iraq—apart from the Presidents refusal to formally engage Iran and Syria— the plan broadly concurs with the recommendation laid out by the ISG. Furthermore, the US has mobilized its surrogates in Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq and the gulf countries to implement this plan and prepare the ground for the emergence of a new middle east. What follows is a brief summary of what America is planning to achieve in Palestine, Iraq and Iran. Palestine The present US effort undertaken by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to kick start the peace process between the Palestinians and the Israelis—as envisioned by the ISG—is for now, a mere symbolic

The following is a translation from arabic with some minor ammendments. بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The Accord… it’s a disaster - The Declaration of Hamas and Fatah to abide by the decisions of the Arab summits, to honour the international resolutions and regional pacts amounts to recognising the Jews’ State! It was announced this night that Fatah and Hamas have reached an agreement wherein they have agreed in clear and no uncertain terms to abide by the resolutions of the Arab summits, honour all legal international accords signed by the Palestinian Liberation Organisation. During the negotiations Fatah was represented by Mahmoud Abbas, the head of the Palestinian Authority, while Hamas was represented by Khalid Misha’l the head of its Political Office and Ismaeel Hanieh, the Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority. All these accords and resolutions accept and recognize the existence of the Jews’ State. This is only a prelude to uncovering the proverbial fig-leaf. If the leaf remains i

"Indian politicians are extremely sensitive to the demands of the indigenous secessionist movements and do their utmost to avoid any word or deed that may lead to India’s implosion. It is within this context that the farther of the Congress Party, Nehru formulated his Kashmir doctrine i.e. Kashmir is an integral part of India. This doctrine has become the bedrock of India’s relations with Pakistan over Kashmir, and has influenced a plethora of Indian politicians." On February the 5th, the people of Pakistan and Kashmir will be commemorating Kashmir day. The annual remembrance is intended to demonstrate Pakistan’s solidarity with the plight of the Kashmiri people living under Indian rule. Whilst displays of unity are abound amongst the Pakistani people the same cannot be said for the Musharraf government. Ever since September 11, 2001 Pakistan has conceded much in the hope that India will eventually reciprocate— put an end to the sixty-year-old dispute and hasten the normalisa

The following is a translated article from Arabic that appeared in al-Waie Magazine. The rising of the sun reminds of Sakhr, I remember him at every sunset, If it were not for the number of those weeping around me, for their brothers, I surely would have killed myself, they do not cry for anyone as dear as my brother, but I console myself by weeping for him, for I have said farewell to the day we separated, father of Hassan, with it my pleasures and happiness, how my sorrows go out to him and my mother, for him to awake in his grave and then to rest at night? With these phrases and others like them, Al-Khansaa’ mourned the death of her brother, Sakhr, and cried for him until she lost her eye-sight, falling into anguish, disparity and wishing for death. This is how Al-Khansaa’ saw death and this is how she handled it. In the battle of Al-Qadisiyyah, in an honourable stance of life and death, Al-Khansaa’ stood with her four sons and said to them: “You became Muslim and did not apostatise
