This press release is intended to dispel some of the misconceptions that have been spread about this Islamic Movement and to thereby put the record straight. 1. That Al-Muhajiroun are connected to As-Sakina Organisation and engage in military training and sending Muslims abroad to fight As-Sakina is an independent youth organisation which has its own agenda and objective distinct from Al-Muhajiroun. Al-Muhajiroun is an Islamic Movement which engages in an ideological and political struggle in order to interact with the society in which it functions to present Islam as an alternative to the prevalent way of life such as capitalism or socialism/communism by non-violence means. Its objective is to establish the Islamic State (Al-Khilafah) which will carry Islam to the world and eventually lead to Izhaar ud-Deen (i.e. the domination of the world by Islam). The mechanisms used for this propagation within society are open, public debate and discussion, enjoining good and forbidding evil, exposing thereby the false way of life and presenting the truth and justice of Islam as an alternative. 2. That the attack on the Pentagon was justified Al-Muhajiroun have made their stance clear That to take any aircraft full of civilians and to fly it into any building, including the Pentagon or the World Trade Centre, is considered a crime in Islam and is in direct violation of the Shari'ah (i.e. Islamic Law) which states clearly that all life has sanctity whether Muslim or non-Muslim. Indeed Islam does not even allow Muslims to take the life of animals or trees without a divine permit 3. That Al-Muhajiroun have declared Jihad against all Americans and Britons The reality of US aggression in Iraq, their support of the pirate State of Israel, the presence of their forces on Muslim soil upholding the puppet, corrupt regimes in Muslim countries and their atrocities over the last few years in Somalia, Sudan and Afghanistan have meant that in fact the US and their allies (such as the British) have already declared war against Islam and Muslims themselves and that the Muslims world-wide, rather than declaring war are merely protecting Muslim life, property and honour under attack. The envisaged response of the Muslims in Afghanistan to the US-led aggression is no different to that of Muslims in Palestine, Kashmir, Chechnya or Kosova i.e. defensive Jihad which would be an obligation for the Muslims in the area under attack to engage in militarily and physically and for the Muslims world-wide to support financially and verbally and physically (if they wish to travel to the area under attack). 4. That the attacks against Muslims in Britain, America and elsewhere can be attributed to statements made by members of Al-Muhajiroun The use of pejorative such as 'Islamic Fundamentalism', 'Muslim Fanatics' and 'Militant Islam' by both the US and UK governments in their 'Crusade' of 'Good verses Evil' has created an atmosphere of hate against Islam and Muslims. This has been exploited by the Western Media who have whipped the public into a frenzy and which has inevitably led to verbal and physical abuse of Muslims living in the West, to the extent of petrol bombing mosques and murder. In response to this irresponsibility of the Western States and their media propaganda, Al-Muhajiroun have exhausted effort in making it known to the media that there is no evidence that Muslims or Usama Bin laden had anything whatsoever to do with the events in New York. In addition Al-Muhajiroun have made it clear to the media that even if it transpires that there were Muslims involved, just as we don't attribute the atrocities in Serbia to Christian Fundamentalism or those in Palestine to Jewish Fundamentalism, we must distance Islam and Muslims from what has no foundation in the Shari'ah (i.e. divine Islamic law). Moreover, Al-Muhajiroun immediately set up a series of incident rooms across Britain to deal with all the attacks, to provide security for the Muslims and advice in these difficult times. For the Sect set up by the British government (following the Runnymead Trust Report on 'Islamophobia') known as the 'Muslim Council of Britain' (or the MCB) to try to gain media coverage by blaming the attacks on Muslims on Al-Muhajiroun is not only foolish, irresponsible and a violation of the Shari'ah but has deliberately been planned by the Blair regime to drawing attention away from their imminent mass murder of Muslims in Afghanistan and the focused attack against this Western aggression by Al-Muhajiroun. 5. That Al-Muhajiroun have called for the assassination of General Pervez Musharraf Fatwa is a divine Decree (it is not a license to kill) The Fatwa issued by Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad, Judge of The Shari'ah Court of The UK and Amir of The Khilafah Movement, and which is supported by Al-Muhajiroun is the following: That the call for Muslims in Pakistan to fight and kill Muslims in Afghanistan under the US-led alliance is considered to be an act of apostasy in the Shari'ah and the perpetrator is immediately considered to be an Apostate because of his declaration of war against Muslims (Murtad Harbi). The implications of this are that Mr Musharraf would no longer be considered to be Muslim and under Shari'ah law must face a trial by a Shari'ah Cour. Further, this fatwa is supported by the Juristic Scholars world-wide. A fatwa, far from a death threat, is the Islamic verdict on any specific scenario/situation and can relate to any area of life such as marriage, ritual actions, transactions etc... The Shari'ah Court of The UK, as a reference point for Usuli Muslims in Britain and elsewhere has issued over 60 Fatwas in recent years on all areas of Islamic law, invariably in response to requests on the Islamic position in various situations. 6. Secterian Attack from the Illmaani Muslims against Usuli Muslims Al Muhajiroun and the Khilafah Movement are part of the Muslim Ummah who follow Usul Al-Fiqh i.e. Quran and Sunnah Only where as the Illmaani Muslims they follow Quran and The Law of The Land therefore it comes as now surprise they (Illmaani i.e. seculars) came out and show their own sectarian hatred and false Islam by lying about our community, and supporting theTabloid Newspaper who fabricate and distort our community to attack us without Verification. Moreover, claiming that we are a fringe of their community whereas in fact we are a different community and different type of Islam.... we will never alliance with non-Muslims against Muslims For Allah (swt) says: "O you who believe take not the Non-Muslims for your Alliances, Friends and Protectors they are but Friends, Alliances and Protectors to each other and he amongst who turns to them for Alliance, Friendship and Protection is one of them verily Allah (swt) will never guide oppressors." Quran [5:51] and also says "O Believers take not for friends, alliances and protectors those who do not believe in your religion (ideology) or who take your religion for a mockery or sport, whether among those who received the scripture before you or among those who reject faith; fear Allah (swt) but fear Allah (swt) if indeed Believers " Quran [5:57] The Usuli Muslims in the UK (those who follow Quran and the teaching of Muhammad (saw) and his family and companions ONLY) distance themselves from the illmaani Muslim sect ( i.e. the secular Muslims e.g. Muslim Council in Britain and YMO) because they are different sect& they are pro-alcohol, pro-abortion, pro-usury, pro-voting for labour, conservative etc, pro-democracy and they uphold allegiance to the Queen and they are the Friend and the voice of the British government. Whereas the Usuli Muslim they follow Nahj ul-Salaf Al-Saaleh, they are anti-alcohol, anti abortion, anti usury, anti-voting, they are submitters to Allah (swt) Alone therefore do not believe in man-made democracy and their allegiance to the almighty Allah (swt) Alone&.
