Your Enmity is Not towards the Khilafah "Caliphate" but towards Islam that Will Revive Through It

Our International Khilafah "Caliphate" Conference held on Sunday, the 6th of March, with the attendance of around 5,000 people, under the title "Khilafah "Caliphate" - Fiction or Near Future?" was widely covered in the media. While this conference that filled every Muslim, who feels love for Islam, with pride, was reported as favourable news by some media outlets; some others made news which run counter reality, to journalism and justice agencies due to their resentment towards Islam and the Muslims. For this reason; we as the Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Turkey want to share the following points with the public:

1- Both our International Khilafah "Caliphate" Symposium in Istanbul on Thursday, the 3rd of March, as well as our International Khilafah "Caliphate" Conference in Ankara on Sunday, the 6th of March, have been carried out without any problems and uneventful circumstances. Although there were several attempts to cancel both of our events over unofficial ways; those attempts failed with the grace of Allah (swt) and our efforts.

2- The many respected authors, academics, media representatives and scholars who joined both our events from within the country and abroad stated that the Khilafah "Caliphate" is not an alien component to our ancient soils, rather it is an essential and indispensable component. This is because these soils are the soils which were beleaguered by the armies of Islam to enjoy the glad tidings of Rasulallah (saw), and which were conquered with interjections of "Allah Allah". They are mingled with Islam and worked with the blood of the martyrs. Our glorious ancestors ruled over three continents from these soils with the Khilafah "Caliphate" and were the flag-bearers of Islam.

3- Hizb ut Tahrir's structure, idea, method and style is well-known by all. Claims by those who did not attend any of our two events, and who additionally produced news ignorantly of the talks by simply doing "google" searches, are delusive and groundless. Thus mentioning and reporting on the same page about Hizb ut Tahrir, a political party, that operates on an international level, juxtaposition with ISIL, which is not known by anyone, is nothing else than malicious intention.

4- We believe that the Khilafah "Caliphate" (Caliphate) is the only solution to all mankind; we emphasize this and we work for this. And we base this thought on Shari' evidences, explain its exigency rationally, and we prove its political inevitability. And because we demand the Khilafah "Caliphate" which will resume Islamic life; we are labelled as "bigoted" by this democratic, secular and socialist class, who have no roots in these soils, and who brought nothing but abasement and sin to the Muslims till today. Yet we say to these persons bare of roots, base and future: throw your hat in the ring! We are ready to talk about and to discuss Islam versus democracy, Khilafah "Caliphate" versus the Republic, the Revelation which is far away from any form of incapability versus your incapable and limited mind, and the Unity of Ummah versus your nationalism. We invite everyone who has confidence in his idea and has courage, for our single reference and only weapon are our ideas and political foresight. 

Lastly, we even disdain to reply to those cheap quasi rubbish writers who are egocentrically delighted by finding some tiny corners for themselves. And we praise Allah Almighty that we incommoded those who are hostile towards Islam and the Muslims, and we remind that we will be friends to the friends of Allah and foe to the enemies of Allah.

[يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُطْفِؤُواْ نُورَ اللّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَيَأْبَى اللّهُ إِلاَّ أَن يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ]

“They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah refuses except to perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it.” [At-Tawbah: 32]
