Imran Khan and His Men May Not Be Slaves to Europe but They Certainly are Slaves of Uncle Sam!

Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Imran Khan, launched a harsh attack on the European Union envoys, after they demanded Pakistan condemns the Russian operation in Ukraine. Imran Khan lashed out saying, while addressing a public meeting in Mailsi town of Vehari district, “Has anyone of you severed trade relations with India or objected to its unlawful actions.” He then added, “Are we slaves and act according to your wishes?” Commenting upon the stance of Imran Khan and his government towards the issue of Ukraine, the Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir in the Wilayah of Pakistan presents the following points for consideration:

1- It would be hoped that Imran Khan and his government were independent of the Western colonialist states, abstaining from taking sides with any one of these hostile states. Indeed, essentially, the religion of all these kaafir factions is one, against the Muslims and Islam, even though their individual realities may vary in peripheral matters. Yet, successive governments in Pakistan are all loyal to the United States to the point of slavery, wherein Pakistan’s successive ruling factions do not reject a single demand from Washington. They persist in slavery even when the request is at the expense of the interests, honor, blood and security of the Muslims, whether in Pakistan itself or in neighboring Muslim Lands. For that matter, they do not even dare to deviate from their master’s script, with respect to relatively remote regions, such as Ukraine in the case of Pakistan. Thus, successive Pakistani governments participated in America’s war on “terrorism,” fighting Muslims who opposed the US and India within Pakistan and burning the country in the fires of fitnah. Successive governments adopted weak stances in front of India over the issue of Occupied Kashmir, until they abandoned it completely to the tyrant Modi. As for the occasional fiery statements made by the government’s pillars, including Imran Khan himself, they are nothing beyond cheap fanfare, for local public and media consumption alone, at a time that the government’s survival is evidently threatened.

2- The states currently engaged in the conflict within the Ukrainian theatre are all criminal states, uncaring for the livelihood and lives of innocent people, regardless of their religion and race. In their callous eyes, human beings are merely fuel to be burned and spent, whenever their selfish interests collide. The conflicting states within the Ukrainian theatre, Russia, Britain, France, Germany and the US, are the same states that fought two destructive world wars. These states claimed the lives of millions of innocent civilians for the material gains of their ruling elites, whilst they think nothing of deliberately opening war fronts within heavily populated residential areas. Certainly, these savage states do not understand the language of reason, even whilst maintaining the pretense of being civilized. Even when they lay down arms and a party amongst them calls for negotiations, the negotiating table is merely an altar for the complete submission of the other party, regardless of the facts of the issue, or what is right and what is true. All these states, not Russia alone, are led by those cast in the mold of Stalin and Hitler, with the victors re-writing history to sanitize their black deeds.

3- The United States, which lured, enticed, green-lighted and provoked Putin into a destructive war, is the same state that orders Imran and his regime to maintain the pretense of supporting and endorsing Putin, so that Putin sinks deeper into the quagmire of Ukraine. The US is the same state that orders Imran to ignore Europe, whilst ordering the harmful rulers of the UAE and Saudi Arabia not to accept increasing oil and gas production, to meet the crushing energy shortages in Europe. This is so that Europe perceives that it has no savior from Russia but the US, herding all of Europe into acceptance of a new ‘Marshall Plan,’ thereby returning Europe to America’s stable of obedience and submission. Indeed, the shaking of the European Union and its inability to manage the regional crisis will lend to Europe falling into Uncle Sam’s trap. At such a time, Uncle Sam will not care in the least whether Imran stood with him or against him.

Thus, the United States has abandoned its agent in Ukraine, leaving him to hang high and dry, along with his suffering people, whilst Washington now carefully sets its nets to catch Europe... It is now clear to Muslims all over the Muslim World, including Pakistan, being those of understanding and guardians of the message of heavenly mercy, that they alone can bring an end to this unjust international order, giving rise to a new international order based on the noble principles and caring values ​​of Islam. This, in turn, can only come to be after re-establishing the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood, which will rule by a just system that guards the blood, honor and wealth of all peoples under its care. It is only then that the Muslim Lands will be unified under the shade of a single righteous Khaleefah, whilst the rest of the peoples of the world will enter the Deen of Allah (swt) in legions, finally bringing down the oppressive crusader, capitalist, international order, replacing it with the light of Islam and its justice. It is to the work to achieve this noble goal, lifting humanity out of its current misery, we call upon the Islamic Ummah. So, how must we judge? Allah (swt) said,

[قُلْ هَلْ مِنْ شُرَكَائِكُمْ مَنْ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْحَقِّ قُلِ اللَّهُ يَهْدِي لِلْحَقِّ أَفَمَنْ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْحَقِّ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُتَّبَعَ أَمَّنْ لَا يَهِدِّي إِلَّا أَنْ يُهْدَى فَمَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ]

“Ask them, O Prophet, “Can any of your associate-gods guide to the truth?” Say, “Only Allah guides to the truth.” Who then is more worthy to be followed: the One Who guides to the truth or those who cannot find the way unless guided? What is the matter with you? How do you judge?” [TMQ Surah Yunus 10:35].
