Gold hits new record
A rush into safe haven assets propelled gold prices to a new record settlement and intra-day high on Wednesday. Gold for June delivery, the most actively traded contract, climbed $6 to settle at $1,458.50 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The precious metal hit an intra-day high of $1,463.70 an ounce. Analysts are now predicting gold will hit $1,500 in the next few months amid concern about the Middle East, rising inflation, financial stability in Europe and the Federal Reserve's ultra loose monetary policy.
French governments launches tirade against Muslims
The interior minister Claude Guéant attacks Muslims of France. His comments were made on the eve of a debate within his party, the UMP, on Islam and secularism in France. The debate, organised by party leader Jean-François Copé, is itself controversial, with many party figures finding excuses not to attend, including Prime Minister François Fillon. "The question worries our citizens: there are many who think the rules of secularism are being stretched," said Guéant on a trip to Nantes. "In 1905 [the year the separation of church and state was brought into law] there were few Muslims in France, today there are between five to 10 million...This growth of believers and certain types of practices pose problems. It is clear that prayers in the street shock a certain number of people and the leaders of major religions know that this type of practice affects them negatively," he said.
Jewish state bombs Sudan
A senior IDF official confirmed that Israel was responsible for the deadly air strike on a car in Port Sudan, Time magazine reported on Wednesday. "It's not our first time there," the official reportedly told Time, referring to a 2009 attack in which the IDF destroyed a convoy near Sudan's border with Egypt. According to the Sudanese, an aircraft approached Sudan from the Red Sea and bombed the rental car about 14 kilometers south of Port Sudan. The two men had reportedly just landed in Sudan an hour earlier. Sudan's Foreign Minister Ali Karti on Wednesday accused Israel of carrying out an attack on Tuesday near Port Sudan that killed two people and said Khartoum reserved the right to react to the aggression. He said Israel undertook the attack to scupper Sudan's chances of being removed from a US list of state sponsors of terrorism. "This is absolutely an Israeli attack," he told reporters.
GCC states condemn Iran's blatant interference in Kuwait's affairs
GCC foreign ministers on Sunday condemned Iran's "blatant" interference in the State of Kuwait's internal affairs, accusing Iran of "planting espionage networks on [Kuwait's] territory" to undermine the country's security and stability and the interests of its citizens. In a statement issued at the conclusion of their extraordinary one-day meeting, the foreign ministers commended Kuwait's security bodies for uncovering the sleeper cell of spies believed to be working covertly on Iran's behalf. The ministers also affirmed their support for all the measures taken by the State of Kuwait to protect its national security.The statement further noted that the senior government officials had expressed concern at what they called "continuous Iranian interference in the domestic affairs of the GCC countries, by conspiring against [those nations'] national security ... and [instigating] sectarian sedition between their [GCC countries'] citizens, independence, principles of good neighborliness, international laws, the Charter of the UN and OIC." The foreign ministers also welcomed the return of calm and stability to the Kingdom of Bahrain, praising the spirit of the Bahraini people who it said had sought the country's higher interests.
No One Rigs an Election Quite Like Kazakhstan
On Sunday, Nursultan Nazarbayev won reelection as president of Kazakhstan, a nation he has ruled since it was a republic of the Soviet Union, with 95.5 percent of the vote against an undistinguished field of three no-name opponents. One challenger, on his Facebook page, listed the incumbent president as a "Person Who Inspires Him"; another said he voted for Nazarbayev. It may sound like a typical post-Soviet sham election, but it's not quite. Most autocrats, post-Soviet and otherwise, just quietly go through the motions of elections, trying to draw as little attention to them as possible. Not Nazarbayev. Three days before the vote, he published an op-ed in the Washington Post titled "Kazakhstan's steady progress toward democracy." He sent an adviser on a tour of Western capitals to promote the election; in Washington, the adviser -- modestly, it turns out -- predicted Nazarbayev would win between 80 and 92 percent of the vote. Foreign election observers found evidence of ballot box stuffing and apparent multiple votes, charges that the government quickly denied. "I believe that it is the most ideal election ever in the history of all the elections," said one presidential adviser, Yermukhamet Yertysbayev.
US critical of Pakistani efforts to defeat the Taliban
Pakistan lacks a robust plan to defeat the Taliban and its security forces struggle to hold areas cleared of the al Qaeda-linked fighters at great cost, says a critical US report which came just three months before US President Barack Obama is scheduled to announce the pace at which American troops will be withdrawn from Afghanistan. The semi-annual White House report to Congress is designed to judge progress or otherwise towards key objectives of the war in Afghanistan and operations against al Qaeda in Pakistan. The report notes a deterioration of the situation in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in the country's northwest alongside the Afghan border between January and March this year. It details an operation in Mohmand Agency and Bajaur Agency that started in January to clear insurgent strongholds - the third time in two years that the Pakistani army has attempted to complete the task. It says the operation had been hampered by terrorist resistance, poor weather, the need to settle internally displaced people and the discovery of several caches of improvised explosive devices. The report acknowledges that "tremendous human sacrifices" were made by Pakistani forces in the region, but concludes "what remains vexing is the lack of any indication of ‘hold' and ‘build' planning or staging efforts to complement ongoing clearing operations". "There remains no clear path toward defeating the insurgency in Pakistan, despite the unprecedented and sustained deployment of over 147,000 forces," the Obama administration says in the report.
The brutality and state terrorism which the Hasina government launched yesterday (Monday, 04-04-2011), in a country of 160 million Muslims, against the Ulama and the Muslims who were observing a national general strike against the kufr ‘National Women Policy 2011' and other anti-Islamic activities of the government is comparable to the Jewish barbarism and state terrorism against the Muslims in Palestine. This as well as the indiscriminate firing of bullets targeting at demonstrators the day before (Sunday, 03-04-2011), which killed one madrasa student, a hafez of the Qur'an, is clear evidence of killer Hasina's policy of terrorizing the people. Hizb ut-Tahrir, condemns in the strongest possible terms, such acts of brutality and state terrorism by the government of Sheikh Hasina, the enemy of Islam and self declared agent of the kafir-mushrik states. Hizb ut-Tahrir, prays to Allah (swt) for the murdered hafez and for the quick recovery of the injured. Furthermore, we pray to Allah (swt) to accept the murdered brother as a Shaheed, the Messenger (saw) said:
« سيد الشهداء حمزة بن عبد المطلب، ورجل قال إلى إمام جائر فأمره ونهاه فقتله » « صحيح الإسناد
((The master of the Martyrs is Hamza Bin Abdul Muttalib, and a man who stood up against the tyrant ruler. He ordered him and forbade him and he was killed)) Sahih
It need not be repeated here that ‘the National Women Policy, 2011' which the government approved last month contradicts the Noble Qur'an and the Shari'ah rules. As a result 160 million Muslims of the country immediately started to raise their voices against it. However ignoring such protests the deceptive Hasina government adopted the path of repeatedly lying to the people that the policy does not go against the Qur'an and Sunnah. The government used the state administration and the media - state and private - to sell its lies to people but failed to convince the people. Then on Friday, April 01, 2011, ahead of the general strike called by the Ulama, the government through the ministry of religious affairs distributed a leaflet, spending the people's money, trying once again to deceive the people but with no success. Thus the government has now resorted to terrorism and repression against the protest movement of 160 million Muslims.
Hizb ut-Tahrir calls upon the Muslims of the country to strongly protest the government's brutality against the Ulama. Furthermore the party calls upon the people to remove this government which by its actions and policies has clearly defined its position as the enemy of Allah (swt), His Messenger (saw), and Islam and the Muslims.
Hizb ut-Tahrir makes the following calls to the respected Ulama of the country:
Hizb ut-Tahrir stands beside you; while you mobilize the madrasas, Hizb ut-Tahrir is mobilizing the colleges and universities as well the general society against the government and the kufr system. The downfall of this tyrant government, and the kufr ruling system; and the return of the Khilafah "Caliphate" is soon, inshaAllah.
On 3 April 2011, Hizb ut-Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan escalated its mobilization campaign ahead of the nationwide rallies on 17 April 2011. It held protests in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi demanding the end of the harmful presence of American military and intelligence on Muslim soil, the uprooting of the traitor rulers and the immediate re-establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate" by means of Nussrah from the armed forces to Hizb ut-Tahrir.
Hizb ut-Tahrir condemns the arrival of the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, to Pakistan. The Muslims of Pakistan consider both the US and Britain as their enemies who are fueling fires in Pakistan by meddling in Pakistan's internal affairs. Cameron not only came himself but also brought his spymaster along.
Members of Hizb ut-Tahrir delivered public speeches after Jummah prayers at various mosques across Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet where they said the current ruling system and the rulers have failed to liberate the people and called upon the Muslims to re-establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" state which will truly liberate the Ummah.
Members of Hizb ut-Tahrir delivered public speeches after Jummah prayers today at various mosques across Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet where they said the current ruling system and the rulers have failed to liberate the people and called upon the Muslims to re-establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" state which will truly liberate the Ummah. The speakers said this year Bangladesh is in her 40th year of existence but the country is still impoverished where 40% of the people live under the poverty line. More than 90% of the country's wealth is owned by less than 10% of the population. There are hundreds of thousands of educated unemployed in the country. Millions of women are forced to support their families working as tailors in garment factories which can only be described as concentration camps. The economy remains backward without any strong industrial base to the point that even the capital city Dhaka does not enjoy an uninterrupted supply of electricity! This is only a tiny picture of the grim state of the country.
The speakers urged the people to remove the current ruling system and the Awami-BNP rulers who have ruled the country for the last 40 years. This kufr secular man made system is the real cause for the suffering and hardship of the people. Under the protection of this system the Awami-BNP rulers loot the country's wealth and live an extravagant life on the one hand, while on the other hand they sell the wealth and interests of the country to their foreign masters, leaving the people to suffer in poverty. The comparison of these rulers is with that of Ben Ali, Mubarak, Gaddafi and the other tyrants who have been oppressing the Muslims in the Arab countries for 40-50 years; the same is the case of the Awami-BNP rulers in Bangladesh who have been oppressing the Muslims here for the last 40 years. The Muslims here need to rise up against the Awami-BNP rulers like the Muslims in the Arab countries have risen up and taken to the streets.
The only way forward for liberation is to establish the rule by the Qur'an and Sunnah and to unify with the global Muslim Ummah eliminating the artificial boundaries between Muslims. This will only happen if we re-establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" state. Only through implementing the Qur'an and Sunnah the Muslims will achieve the Hasanah (the Good) in the Dunya and Akhira. And unification under one state i.e. the Khilafah "Caliphate", will bring together the manpower, resources and armies of the Ummah allowing her to retake her position as the number one state in the world.
The speakers quoted the Ayah from the Noble Qur'an explaining to the musallis that the people of the country will continue to live in hardship so long as we keep silent about the current ruling system and the corrupt agent rulers:
وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَىٰ [طه:١٢٤
"But whosoever turns away from My Message, verily for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment." [Surah Ta-Ha: 124]
