Egypt's President Morsi is the New American Stalwart in the Region

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Egypt's President Morsi is the New American Stalwart in the Region Ever since assuming the office of the Presidency, Morsi has worked resolutely to portray himself as a moderate Islamist working independent of American influence for the betterment of Egypt and the region. But beneath the veneer of Islamic rhetoric surrounding his domestic and foreign policy actions, Morsi is no better than his predecessor Mubarak- the former gatekeeper of American interests in the region. On the domestic front, Morsi can claim that the opposition has not allowed his government enough time to push through reforms that will address the Egypt's battered economy, restore law and order, and improve the lives of the ordinary Egyptian people. This is despite the fact that such reforms are formulated under the auspices of IMF stipulations for Egypt's government to revise its economic agenda in order to qualify for the $4.8 billion loan. IMF spokesman Gerry Rice sa

BOOK: "The Responsibility of the Ruler and the Ruled"

Download the book from  here . The women members' of Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan have written this book which seeks to clarify the relationship between the Ruler and Ruled and its importance in maintaining a strong Khilafah, which is to come soon inshaAllah. It covers the basic concept of what a Muslim is responsible for and then more specifically the Ruler's responsibility to his people and the people's responsibility to the Ruler. When the Khilafah returns, the Ummah must cling to this understanding with its teeth, to prevent a recurrence of all the suffering it faced due to the absence of Islam. The book then elaborates on how the current rulers in the the Muslim nations, who demand the obedience of their people are not legitimate Rulers of the Ummah from Islam. They were not contracted legitimately by a Bayah through consent and choice, for the implementation of Islam. They have usurped the position of the legitimate Ruler of the Muslims. They are oppressors

PART 1: What is Jizyah?

The payment of the Jizyah and the acceptance of the non-Muslims from the people of war to submit to the rulings of Islaam Introduction What concerns us in this section is whether the payment of the Jizyah from the people at war and their commitment to submitting to the rulings of Islaam, is considered a cause from amongst the causes for the cessation of fighting according to Islaam. As such the issues that are dealt with in this section are only studied from this angle i.e. the angle of the cessation of the Qitaal if the contract of Dhimmah with the people of war is completed, a matter that dictates their payment of the Jizyah and their submission to the rule of Islaam, meaning their entry into being Islamic subjects and henceforth carrying the citizenship of the Islamic State. As such we will not delve into the issues that enter into the subject of the Jizyah as this would require an independent paper in itself and in addition it would distract us from the purpose for whic

The Political Struggle for Islam

The following is an article that was initially published in the 1990s.  Political struggle means entering into conflict with the ruler or whoever holds the reins of power. It involves fighting a bloodless and non economic battle with the aim of achieving a comprehensive or partial change. This struggle is taken up by a section of the ruler’s subjects. Political struggle is as old as civilisation itself, since people began living together, whether in tribes or countries. Individuals who felt the need for either a comprehensive or a partial change have always existed. Some groups wanted to do away with old customs and heritage, others aimed at eliminating injustice and others at taking power. Some of those groups used armed struggle and economic pressure and some opted for political struggle to achieve their goals. The struggle takes shape between two sides, one side is at the head of the political system i.e. the state which holds the reins of power, enjoys the support of its

Q&A: What is the current status of the global economic crisis?

Question: Where does the global economic crisis currently stand, which began in the USA and engulfed Europe and then the world? Answer: To shed light on this subject, we will mention the following: 1. The collapse of the real estate market in the US spread across the world resulting in the collapse of many banks, which lead to unprecedented government intervention to halt global economic collapse. The result however, was what is now called the great recession, the worst since the great depression of 1929. The global financial crisis brought to light the fact that the boom of the preceding decade was in reality driven by debt and after five years the world's largest economies continue in their failure to resolve this. 2. United action has been attempted by the world's largest economies in order to coordinate a resolution to the crisis. This was argued on the basis that the global economy is interlinked due to the effects of globalisation and a collective, global approach
