Press Release
US Presence is the Cause of Pak-Afghan Hostility
Hostility between the Muslims of Pakistan and Afghanistan has been Incited to Strengthen India

On 5 May 2017, Afghan forces opened fire and shelled a village along the Chaman border with Afghanistan, in which at least 12 people were killed, including two women and four children, whilst ten people were injured.

Pakistan retaliated and immediately closed the border at Chaman and Torkham until further notice. The Afghan regime later stated that the attack was a mistake but such "mistakes" are bound to occur in the continuously hostile atmosphere between two Muslim states. Thus, Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan directs the Muslims' anger to the actual culprit behind the hostile atmosphere between Muslims, which is the United States, because it is the master of both the Pakistani and Afghan regimes.

The Muslims of Pakistan and Afghanistan have never been separated from each other despite the creation of Durand Line by the British imperialist. Muslims of both sides are not only tied with each other firmly by the Islamic Aqeedah, they still have strong economic and social relations as well. It is because of this special bond of the Muslims of Pakistan to the Muslims of Afghanistan that India can never gain dominance in this region.

However, now that Indian dominance is an American requirement to use it in countering China and Islamic revival, Indian dominance mandates that the Muslims of Pakistan and Afghanistan are made foes to each other.

Since America itself is present in Afghanistan and the Kabul regime is its puppet, it has incited hostility against Pakistan and warm relations with India.

Pakistan's rulers are American agents and so do not condemn America, the criminal mastermind. Instead of working to eject the US from the region, they incite anti-Afghan feelings using their mouthpieces and close the Pak-Afghan border, which causes hardship for the Muslims living on both sides.

The Muslims of Pakistan and Afghanistan must know that their actual enemy is America which is trying to strengthen the Kafir India by weakening the strength of the Muslims of this region. The US agents in both Pakistan and Afghanistan are giving full support to accomplish this American objective. Ending hostility mandates that the Muslims of Pakistan and Afghanistan erase the Durand Line through becoming one state under the flag of Khilafah "Caliphate" on the Method of the Prophethood, ejecting the US from the region. After this there will be no source available to our enemies to use for creating hatred between the Muslims of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Moreover, their unified strength will tear apart the US and Indian regional ambitions.

[وَٱعْتَصِمُواْ بِحَبْلِ ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعاً وَلاَ تَفَرَّقُواْ وَٱذْكُرُواْ نِعْمَةَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنْتُمْ أَعْدَآءً فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُمْ بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَاناً وَكُنْتُمْ عَلَىٰ شَفَا حُفْرَةٍ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ فَأَنقَذَكُمْ مِّنْهَا كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ آيَاتِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ]

“And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah, and be not divided among yourselves, and remember Allah's Favour on you, for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together, so that, by His Grace, you became brethren (in Islamic Faith), and you were on the brink of a pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus Allah makes His Ayat clear to you, that you may be guided.” [Ale Imran: 103]
