Intro


Below is a press release from the followers in the UK, showing that they were promoting the event of Sep11 as positively:


Press Release Dated 10th September 2002
Following intense media interest in the Islamic Conference due to be held this Wednesday the 11th of September 2002 at Finsbury Park Mosque, the organisers, Al-Muhajiroun, would like to make it clear that: 1. The participants, which include leaders from the Muslim community (but no one from Hizb ut-Tahrir) will not be celebrating the events of the 11th of September, but rather will be analysing and highlighting the lessons which can be derived from the incident and what has subsequently followed regarding the nature of the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims around the world and the new format of the relationship between countries in the international arena.
2. The event will discuss the positive outcomes from the 11th September not least of which is the clear crystallisation of the two camps of Islam and Kufr (non-Islam), of believers and hypocrites and of those who follow the Messenger Muhammad (saw) and his companions (the salafis) and those deviant from this path.
3. Muslim leaders will be announcing the launch of the Islamic Council of Britain (ICB), to represent the true Islamic stance on issues affecting Muslims both in Britain and abroad, without compromise, without fear of anyone apart from Allah and purely to please Allah (SWT). Moreover the ICB will not be funded by any government (contrary to reports in Sundays Telegraph) and have not '…secured a six-figure sum for funding the ICB…' from Saudi Arabia.
4. The Islamic Council of Britain (ICB) is in contrast to the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) who, as we all know, have sold the Muslims out to the British government, in return for being recognised as the 'official voice of the Muslims' and who believe that Muslims must apostatise themselves by taking an oath of allegiance to the Queen and in their actions obey man made law as opposed to God's law. The ICB are therefore a different sect (firqah) from the MCB, the ICB belonging to the minority Salafiyyah sect (also known as Firqah Naajiyyah or the 'saved sect'), whereas the MCB belong to the majority Ilmaaniyyah sect (i.e. secularists).
5. Claims by secular 'moderate' so-called Muslims that we 'feed on people with little knowledge of Islam' that we want to spread 'hate and destruction' or that 'Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad is widely despised by Muslims' are made by non-practising Secularists about their own sect of people, whose only excuse for remaining Muslims as opposed to Murtadeen (apostates) is their obvious ignorance about the reality of Islam and the Shari'ah as practised by the Messenger Muhammad (saw) and his companions.
6. Sadly secular Muslims make up the majority of Muslims in a world which lacks Islam implemented as a law and order (i.e. Al-Khilafah) and whose idea of Islam is that based upon their own desires and that which Tony Blair or George Bush dictate as opposed to that which Allah (SWT) has revealed to the Messenger Muhammad (saw). Indeed the challenge is there for anyone to state otherwise basing his or her argument on the Qur'an and Sunnah (tradition of the Messenger Muhammad (saw)) as understood by his companions (ra).
We pray that Allah (SWT) guides us all to the truth.

Pakistan, a British Creation

When western nations, especially Britain started to withdraw from their colonies, they made sure that the governments they left behind were loyal to them and their ‘values’.  This was done by using loyal movements and people who had been indoctrinated by their culture in the colonized lands.  In Pakistan it was the Muslim League headed by Mohammed Ali Jinnah.

The Muslim League was the vehicle used to “make” Pakistan. This party was set up on 28 December 1906 in Dhaka, with the following objectives:

·To promote among Muslims a feeling of loyalty to the British government and to remove misunderstandings

· To protect and advance the political rights and interests of Muslims, and to represent properly their needs and aspirations to the British government; and

· To prevent the rise of hostility among Muslims toward other communities.¹

The Muslim League was dominated by landdlords and westernised elite, who wanted to show that like Hindus, Muslims are also loyal to the British. So it was no real surprise that the Muslim League opposed the Khilafat Movement, led by Maulana Mohammed Ali, a Movement which was against the British and in support of the Khilafat, whose capital was in Turkey, at that time.

Jinnah was educated in the West in secular law, and assumed presidency of the Muslim League in 1935, after his return from England.  He firmly believed in the separation of Islam and politics, which he made clear in his many speeches e.g. his speech to the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan on August 11, 1947, he stated:

“Now I think we should keep that in front of us as our ideal and you will find that in the course of time Hindus would cease to be Hindus and Muslims would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith of each individual, but in the political sense as citizens of the State".

In the Indian subcontinent prior to the creation of Pakistan, the muslims were 40% of the populous, with the non-muslims thoroughly disunited by their varying beliefs and casts systems.  So it was not hard to imagine the muslims once again dominating that region, and therefore, in order to weaken and destroy muslim unity here also - the better plan for Britain in India, was to divide the muslims to two ends of the sub-continent whilst forming a much larger state in the middle, now with an even greater non-muslim majority.

Since Jinnah and the Muslim League believed in loyalty to the British, liberal and democratic values, they were ideal to use to rally muslims towards any agenda the British had. Jinnah however could not have said to the people he wanted to set up a secular and liberal state, as the muslims in general would not buy into this, so a deceiving strategy to achieve his goal was needed. 

Jinnah had witnessed, during the Khilafat Movement, that Muslims aroused in the name of Islam and had realized he needed a slogan to gain the muslim support, which he did successfully. He made hundreds of speeches that he wanted Pakistan for Muslims in the name of Islam, which became very popular throughout the Sub Continent.

Many Muslim scholars of the time, including the Jamiyyat -al -Ulama -e -Hind, seriously suspected the religious commitment of the Muslim League because they knew of their secular background and of their little Islamic knowledge, but probably, like today, lacked political awareness to counter-act them.

Thus according to the plans of the British and with the help of their loyal assistants, the Muslims were cheated into sacrificing for a state that was promised to be a land for Islam and Muslims, but remains until today a land for secular nationalists and capitalist elites, disunited from the rest of the Ummah.  It is high time those who still hold on to these corrupt values to stub them out under their feet and give their loyalty to the truth and support the revival of the Islamic way of life.
