New statement from Ḥizb ut-Taḥrīr in Pakistan: "By conducting blasts in Lahore America wants to initiate another operation"

NOTE: Ḥizb ut-Taḥrīr (The Party of Liberation) is a Sunni pan-Islamist movement whose goal is to unite the Muslim ummah (community) and reinstate the Caliphate (al-khilāfah). Once the Caliphate is reinstated, the government would be ruled by Islamic law (sharī’ah) with the Caliph (khalīfah) being the head of state elected by a shūrā (consultation) council. Ḥizb ut-Taḥrīr was founded in 1953 in Jerusalem by Taqī ad-Dīn al-Nabhānī who was an Islamic scholar (‘ālim). Currently, Ḥizb ut-Taḥrīr is located in more than forty countries and is especially active in the United Kingdom and maintains a branch in the United States. The statement is unedited below.

The nexus of Blackwater and the rulers, once again drenched Lahore with blood
By conducting blasts in Lahore America wants to initiate another operation
Hizb ut-Tahrir strongly condemns the bomb blasts in the Mosque adjacent to Ali Hajvairy’s (May Allah have mercy upon him) grave that killed more than 40 and injured around 200 Muslims. After a lull, America and its private army, Blackwater and DynCorp, have once again started the blood bath. The government of Punjab province just yesterday held a high-level meeting to initiate an operation against the “militants” in Punjab. The government cannot ask for a better opportunity/excuse to start this operation than a high-profile bomb blast like this. People know that it is not coincidental that Mosques, Islamic Universities, schools and market places are targeted whilst offices of Blackwater and other American terrorist organizations remain un-touched; this serves as a proof that America is behind these atrocious activities. She paves the public opinion for military operations by killing Muslims. Each time before conducting military operations for mass murder in Swat, South Waziristan and Orakzai Agency, string of bomb blasts were conducted in urban centres of Pakistan and the waves of public anger resulting from these blasts were used to support the military operations.
Let the US and their agent Muslims rulers know that the masses are no longer willing to buy this. This is why the people protested violently against the government immediately after the blast and held the government responsible for this crime. Moreover, with this terrorist act America aims at promoting sectarian hatred and wants to divide the Islamists so that they may indulge in sectarian feuds instead of uniting to kick US out of the region. This is the same policy which US adopted in Iraq.
Hizb ut-Tahrir sincerely calls the Ulema from all schools of thought that they should work together to stop US from achieving her heinous plans and call for the ejection of US from the region with a unified voice as it is solely because of American presence in the region that Pakistan has been turned into a ditch of hell. We also call upon the sincere Muslims in the people-of-power that they should reject the American order of killing their own Muslim brothers and concentrate all their efforts to rid this region from the evil presence of America. Only then this fire of fitnah can be extinguished.
