In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful
With the help of Almighty Allah and the Mujahid Afghan people, Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan were able to extinguish another plan of the enemy by disrupting the rigged and fraudulent American led election process on 27/06/1389 H.S. Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan congratulates the Mujahid Afghan people and especially the Mujahideen for their success and in doing so would like to point to the following:
1. Majority of the brave and honorable people of Afghanistan affirmed in the positive to the request of Islamic Emirate and rejected the fraudulent American led election process by not participating in it and sent a clear message to the puppet regime that they rebuff the outcome also.
2. Throughout the country 162 districts never actually had any polling stations opened, 1260 polling stations closed before 11:00 am and another 480 polling stations came under Mujahideen attacks. Voting only took place in the city centers of Kabul, Mazar, Herat and a few other isolated places and the only people that voted were the officials of this puppet government. In light of these facts we can safely say that this election was not of the people but of the puppet government officials and hence is not legal.
3. The people of Afghanistan did not participate in these elections and by doing so proved to the invaders and their puppets their disapproval of this fake and rigged process. Therefore the invading forces should listen to the Afghan people, take a lesson from their failure and withdraw their forces completely from our beloved land so to put an end to the illegal occupation.
4. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan calls to the world that the invaders and their puppets don’t have any control over vast regions of the country, neither can they carry out free and fair elections and therefore should voice their disapproval and rejection of these so called elections and to not recognize the members of parliament as the representatives of the people of this country.

Why Defection Is So High Among The Police And Army?
Shawwal 06, 1431 A.H, Thursday, September 16, 2010
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
American generals who train Afghan police and soldiers admit, they have problems in recruiting and training policemen and soldiers. Security circles of the stooge Kabul Administration also confirm these reports. One of the problems is the growing trend of defection among the ranks of the Afghan security forces, which is now reaching at more than 20%. American General William Kalduwil, who heads police and soldiers training program, says, the accelerating rate of defections among the recruits has had a negative impact on endeavors to meet training and recruitment goals.
Spokesmen of the Kabul Administration Defense Ministry admits the trend, but says the number is insignificant. On the other hand, those policemen and soldiers who have deserted police and army, speak of high rate of defections. They confirm that many policemen and soldiers want to join the forces of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. They say, their deployment at the frontlines of battles and low salaries are main reasons for their defections.
Zabiullah Bukhari and Kamal, former soldiers of the so-called National Army, who have now deserted, say: fear of Taliban, low salary, armed clashes with Taliban and security problems during commuting to the site of duty, were reasons that compelled them to quit the duty. Americans are trying to distort facts surrounding the events of defections among the stooge security forces, but the Afghan Mujahid and Muslim people know and the military experts of the West and the world are now of the opinion that America and her allies are facing defeat in the war of Afghanistan. They have two options: either to defect or face death. There is no third option left for the stooge forces.
It is also a matter of pondering that how can the soldiers and policemen trained by the Americans who are themselves facing defeats at the hands of the Mujahideen, be expected to excel in combat than their trainers, the Americans. Furthermore, there are some committed and faithful soldiers among the ranks of the enemy that time and again turn barrels of their guns towards the invading Americans and other aggressors. Through killing or injuring the invaders, they themselves either lay down their lives during the bout or escape the scene scotch free.
The Mujahideen are no match with the invading Americans in terms of weapons and logistics but still the most sophisticated army of the world retreat in battle fields versus the empty- handed Mujahideen. The invaders see no capability in themselves to outface the lions of the path of Truth, nor their surrogate soldiers and police men are in a position to turn the tide. This means only material power is not enough for victory. Rather, belief, determination, legitimate cause and stand contribute to victory over a powerful foe even if the devoted combatants are weak from the point of material facilities.

The Misleading Process Under The Name Of Parliamentary Elections
Shawwal 06, 1431 A.H, Thursday, September 16, 2010
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
The defeated Americans and the ( Kabul) stooge administration want to launch a new misleading process under the name of elections on September 18. However, all financial expenditures, organizational structure and outcome of the elections have already been determined by Eikenberry, American ambassador to Afghanistan and general Petraus, top general of the American forces in the country.
Notwithstanding that, the Americans want to conduct the fatuous elections process with an aim of showing to the Afghans and to the public of the world that they are intending to put an elected government and parliament in place in Afghanistan. In fact, in this elections process, the votes of the Afghans have no value, nor it is possible that that the Afghans will ever be willing to cast votes for those who have shed their blood unjustly and occupied their country– still more under the shadow of the American invasion.
Those hopefuls who are taking part in this American process as representative of the people are not able even to protect themselves from the outrages of the Americans during the elections campaign. The entire Afghans saw that the Americans attacked an election campaign convoy of a candidate from Takhar province in a broad day light, killing or injuring more than 12 persons including the candidate who is wounded himself.
Similarly, those persons who are now active members of the so-called parliament as representatives of the people, have been beaten and wounded by the Americans more than a dozen times and their houses have been raided frequently. So when the representatives of the people (members of the parliament) are themselves at risk of being killed and beaten by the Americans and their houses are raided, then how the representatives will be able to live up to the expectations of the people and fulfill the promises which they have made to the public during electioneering. These people who call themselves representatives of the people and continue their elections campaigns while sitting in Kabul, can they ever be able to solve problems of their voters in far- flung provinces and places if they won the elections?
In view of the above realities and in a time that the country is seething with bombs and flames, neither the Americans want to provide any thing to the suffering Afghans that could lead to their prosperity nor do the members of the parliament will be able to serve people while themselves being in a state of powerlessness and weakness. But only they want to gain material benefits by participating in the farce election process so that they may obtain means for their personal livelihood.
Last year, presidential elections were conducted in a self-same misleading process. The Afghans and the world witnessed the depth of the huge rigging and fraud in the voting and, in the end, the results were declared to coincide with what the Americans previous decision demanded.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has made it clear time and again that election in a time of occupation of Afghanistan by the Americans is only subservient to the interests of the invaders and has bitter consequences for our country and people and readily leads to prolongation of the current tragedy of the country.
Therefore, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is striving its utmost to foil these colonialist plans of the invaders including this deceptive process with the help of Allah (SwT) and your Muslim countrymen.
We call on our Muslim nation to boycott this process and thus foil all foreign processes and drive away the invaders from your country by sticking to Jihad and Islamic resistance.
The Islamic Emirate has already chalked out certain measures on country level to frustrate this American process and will implement them on the day when the illegitimate process (of elections) is conducted. Therefore, we request all Afghan brothers with due respect through this statement to fulfill their Islamic and national responsibilities by avoiding the American process and join the strongholds of Jihad with the Mujahideen instead of taking part in the elections process. Liberate your country from the claws of the infidels via Jihad and render service to your people through establishment of an Islamic sovereignty in the country.

Shawwal 04, 1431 A.H, Tuesday, September 14, 2010
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Recently the former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, in an interview, asserted that “radical Islam” was the greatest threat to the world today. However, the term “radical Islam” is a comparatively recent phrase coined by the enemies of Islam to vilify Muslims seeking to organize themselves and live according to the edicts of Islam. After the defeat of European Crusaders at the hands of Muslim armies in Palestine, the European powers realized that they could never succeed in capturing and retaining any Muslims lands unless they distort the principles of Islam. Therefore, when European powers embarked on their aggressive colonial conquests, they did not only snatched these lands from the Muslims but also concocted a complicated and malevolent plan to distort the religion of Islam:
Firstly, they tried to dilute the concept of Jihad in Islam.
Secondly, they introduced the European notion of separation of politics and religion.
Thirdly, they abolished all Islamic laws and replaced them with man-made laws. The colonialists were aided in their plans by some hypocrites and heretics who, being enticed by worldly gains, actively supported the European powers in their designs against Islam.
The enemies of Islam succeeded in their plans to such an extent that today, ours enemies can call any Muslim recognizing the validity and importance of these three aspects, as radicals and the whole world, including some simple-minded Muslims, actually believe their propaganda. This brief historical summary is being provided to clarify any misgivings that an average reader might have about the comments of the former British Prime Minister.
As for his comments that “radical Islam” is the biggest threat to the world today; to call it a lie, would be an understatement. Tony Blair said that radical Islamists believed themselves to be justified in the use of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons. To our understanding, no Muslim country has ever been associated with the use of nuclear weapons, the only two nuclear weapons that were used against civilian populations were those of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, and both of those crimes against humanity were carried out by Americans.
Even today, the U.S. and its coalition allies continue to use uranium-depleted weapons against innocent civilians in Afghanistan. Muslims were not the ones who invented or used chemical and biological weapons in conventional (or unconventional) warfare.
The first deliberate large-scale use of chemical and biological weapons occurred in World War I, where all the warring parties were European powers. Muslims do not stock-pile large quantities of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons. The only countries who have them are the very same ones that call themselves the defenders of world peace.
Their refusal to disarm their nuclear weapons, while denying other countries the same measure of security poses the biggest threat to world peace today. When confronted with the hypothesis that Chechens, Kashmiris, Palestinians, Iraqis and Afghans were resisting foreign occupations of their lands, Tony Blair, who has always been a man of more form than substance, could not answer in any meaningful way, and simply resorted to typical British rhetoric calling our entire way of life “regressive, wicked, and backward-looking”.
We are no more regressive than Tony Blair with his nostalgic thinking of when Britain actually was a power that mattered. We are no more wicked than Tony Blair who continues to justify his decision to invade Iraq without any legal pretext and despite the fact that no weapons of mass destruction were ever found in Iraq. And we are no more backward-looking than Britain whose very way of life is based on what they received from us and Roman way of life.
For over two centuries, Western powers have been plundering the resources of Muslim lands and murdering its inhabitants with impunity. Their aggressions against the Muslim populations have continued unabated until now. The discovery of vast natural resources and the strategic importance of the regions have reignited the greed of the Westerners seeking to further pillage our lands.
The Muslim populations of these regions have been denied basic freedoms and their right to live according to their religion. This is why Western powers are so alarmed by this trend of Muslims returning to their religion and living according to its dictates. People like Tony Blair know that Islam is the only viable force in the world capable of thwarting their colonial ambitions in the region.
It was largely due to this Islamphobia that, when the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan was established, the Western powers were so quick in condemning it, and were looking for any pretext to destroy this legitimate government. The attacks on the twin towers were just the excuse the enemies were looking for to try and destroy our religion once and for all.
The United States began their invasions of Muslims lands on nothing more than unproven speculation. The evidence they presented was mere circumstantial conjecture barely admissible in any legal tribunal. In one of the most ghastly acts in international law, the United Nations Security Council actually sanctified the invasion of Afghanistan without asking for any kind of proof linking any attacks on foreign nations by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
The very least the United Nations could have done was to verify the truth or falsity of the evidence presented by the United States, and negotiate with the Islamic Emirate to set up a tribunal to give the accused culprits a fair trial under Sharia Law. Instead, the Western forces began a policy of blatant violations of international norms and customs, while the United Nations and other so called champions of human rights remained muted.
The truth is that the actions America, in concert with Britain (at the time led by Tony Blair), took have proven to be the greatest threat to the world today. They have invaded and violated the sovereignty of dozens of Muslims countries around the world. They have killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Afghanistan, Iraq and other Muslim countries.
They have taken innocent civilians off our streets and subjected them to the most grotesque forms of torture in Abu Ghuraib, Bagram and Guantanamo prisons. They have openly burned our Quran, and perpetrated an act of desecration by drawing cartoons of our Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him), and called our religion a threat to world peace.
They continue to bombard innocent Afghan civilians under the most unprovoked circumstances. And to top it all, they brazenly accuse us of terrorizing our own people and being a threat to the world. It is hard to imagine which planet they live in and which aliens they hope to convince with their lies.
The reception Tony Blair received in Dublin is clear proof that no humans believe his stupendous lies.
