New statement from the Teḥrīk-ī-Ṭālibān Pākistān’s Muḥammad al-Khurāsānī: "On Trump's Policy Regarding Jerusalem"

Posted on by Aaron Y. Zelin


We have been told by holy Qur’an and our Prophet (peace be upon him) 1400 years ago that (الکفر ملۃ واحدۃ) non-believers are one nation.
This message is becoming clearer with each passing day like rising sun as all non-believers of the world became one against Islam and Muslims and attacking Muslims on the ground all over the world. As history could testify that Dajjal forces always propagated such messages that vex already oppressed Muslim spirit and Muslims feel displeased with it.
Trump policy statement regarding Bait ul Muqaddas is like a para of same chapter, an ideology against islam and an open declaration of war against Muslims. We denounce trump statement in very strong words and our sympathies are with Palestinian people. We call on Muslims all over the world that they sympathises with Palestinian people and stand with them against non-believers and become an exemplary nation as explained in Quran in surah Tauba verse 36
(وَ قَاتِلُوا الۡمُشۡرِکِیۡنَ کَآفَّۃً کَمَا یُقَاتِلُوۡنَکُمۡ کَآفَّۃً ؕ)
And you all fight with polytheists as they all fight with you
We call on Muslims all over to understand conspiracies of Dajjal forces and work to contain its threats otherwise the situation will aggravate further.
