The British Ambassador to Afghanistan Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles has been reported as saying that it would be “a positive thing” if in five to ten years time “an acceptable dictator” could be found to run Afghanistan.
After years of rhetoric by the likes of Bush and Blair that Britain and the US want to spread democracy to benefit the Muslim world – this statement by Cowper-Coles should convince those to whom it still has not dawned that the Western Powers only seek to gain influence and resources for themselves. It is glaringly obvious that there is a game of nations being played out in Afghanistan due to its strategic location.
The tragedy is that some Muslims still believe that only the Western Powers can help them run the affairs of state. The truth of the matter is that the Western powers will hoodwink them and play upon this insecure mentality- in order to gain advantage for themselves. One only needs to look at the fate of Musharraf and the damage that he has done to the Muslims of Pakistan to see what the fruits of cooperation with kafir colonialist are.
The words of Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles show that far from giving the Muslims of Afghanistan democracy, which has failed under the stooge Hamid Karzai – the West seeks a tyrant that will oppress the Muslims of Afghanistan and secure the interests of the British and their kind.
Muslims do not have to look far to find a solution to their political problems.
“Surely, in the Messenger of Allah, is the best example for those who believe in Allah and the Last day and remember Allah often” TMQ 33.21
Our beloved prophet (saw) left the Muslims an example of how to rule. It is not by democracy or by dictatorship – rather it is by the rule of Islam and the Khilafah. A system that was implemented for 1342 years and un-rivalled in history in its success.
