Transformation From
Theological To Political Agend Of Hezbut Tahreer (An virtual anarchic political
organization) a Chapter – 3Their Strategy
Their strategy is based on the
four stages,
1. Ideology
2. Development of a “ Rigid Theological” personality
3. Progression toward Theo- political state.
4. March over the “ whole Earth”
Ideology: -
As we discussed in introduction the theme and nucleolus of this organization is
that, “No Rule but ALLAH” the misperception of this verse cater them the life
line. It consists of many layers or parts as Syed moudoodi said,
Part 1: “Islam wishes to destroy all states & governments any where on the face
of earth which are apposed the ideology and program of Islam is to set up a
state on the basis of its own ideology and program, regardless of which nation
assume the role of the standard barriers of Islam, or the rule of which nation
is undermined in the process of establishment of an ideological Islamic State.
It must be evident to you from this discussion that the objective of the Islamic
Jehad is to eliminate the rule of an un-Islamic system and establish in its
stead an Islamic system of state rule. Islam does not intend to confine its
revolution to a single state or a few countries; the aim is to bring about a
universal revolution” This is the first part of this ideology which is not
as simple as appears to you. This is a declaration of war against all the non
Muslim states and also Muslims states which are following the un-Islamic system
according to their perception. Over the face of the earth there is no true
Muslim state (in their words) and hence a subject to made it true Islamic state
at any cast .
Part 2: Second part of this ideology is that “All the Muslims by Faith” are not
true Muslims since they are implementing man made laws. Since all the Muslims
except those who agreed with these extremists, are living in pre-Islam
ignorance, so it is obligatory to commence a holy war against these
un-believers.
Imam Ibn Taimiya said in his book “ Fataw-i-Kubra, those who put into practice
man made laws instead of the Shariah, were in fact living in a state of
jahiliyya, or pre-Islamic pagan ignorance( and thus declared them Kafir)
Consequently jihad against such heretics or apostates was not only allowed, but
obligatory.
This is a second part of their ideology, which give them free hand of violation
against innocent “Main stream Muslims”. This part inspire these unorthodox to
use the power, where it possible, to employ their self- interpretative Islam as
they have done in K.S.A. century back, or we are observing in Pakistani northern
west regions. In K.S.A they succeeded with the state power but in Pakistan they
conquered an extensive public opposition and army retaliation.
Part 3: In third stage, their
strategy is that when you acquire a reliable public support and become enough
affirm, unfold you’re robe; put your ideas in place with extreme swing. Do not
tolerate any body come to your ways, Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab al Tamimi
((1703–1792) declared that those who practice innovation in Islam are Kaffir and
condemned taqlid saying that taqlid is a blindness which led the laymen to the
infidels. He is hence considered by his followers to be a great revivalist of
Islam, and by his opponents as an innovator and heretic. He advocated that those
who practice innovations in Islam are Kafir. Because he gave himself the
ultimate right to declare people Kaffar (infidels), Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab's
followers led an army which occupied Ta’if and Mecca (Makkah). This was followed
by massacres of unarmed Muslims (including men, women, and children) and the
destruction of many graves and holy sites. Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab also
considered destroying the house where the Prophet Muhammad (Peace & countless
blessings be upon him, his family and companions till the day of final judgment)
was born and destroyed Sufi shrines and sacred tombs in Mecca and Medina,
including the grave of Prophet Muhammad and his companions during 1744 ~ 1818.
All the organizations either political (like Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt) or
Jama,at – Islami in Pakistan, India & Bangladesh or violent organizations like
TTP in Pakistan, Al – Shabab in Somalia, Jama,a-Al- Islamia in Indonesia are
experiencing the same three stage strategy. More of the organizations are
further sub - grouped in propagation wings, political wings and armed wings.
They, very elegantly, dynamically changed their color like chameleon addressing
the circumstances. They are highly committed with their believes and could not
be mold or fold, they never change their strategy, but may slow down or change
their path down the road assessing the opposition strength.
Development of a “Rigid Theological” personality:
After enrolling a new starter, the first most steps were a “Transformation from
a natural to rigid Theological personality”. As we narrated previously, they
target the politically non- committed Muslim youngest. They cultivated in the
minds of new starter “revenge & self-worth” against the Semi practical “main
stream Muslims”. They use the “unfair and negative approach of the Non – Muslim
states toward the Muslim Community” to exploit the resentment in the minds of
the new starters.
At the same time, they frequently quote Qura,anic verses and Hadiths to support
their bottle nicked narrow mind set but with out touching the background and
circumstances, in which the Verse or Hadiths have descended. They preach that “
All the innovation in Islam are Jahiliah ( total ignorance as pre-Islam era),
but same time claim that ( they have) the self – interpretation ( Ijtihad that
means any body extract meaning of Qura,an or Hadith by his own without following
the inherited and most commonly practiced meaning of the same) is only the true
Islam. Those who not believe their self – interpretations are called or named
Western Puppets and hence helper of the “Kufar System”.
The second very effective and common tool to terminate mind set of the new
starter is to compare (the most merciful) ALLAH’s absolute powers with those He
bestowed with among his creations. For example, they say “None of them (in his
creations) except ALLAH.” (La elaaha illALLAH) in his worship, creativity,
innovation, Personality, Abilities and all alike. All the Muslims with out any
exception strictly believed the same but mean time main stream Muslims said that
we are not in position to lemmatized the most merciful ALLAH if He bestowed any
body { like His messengers, Ashab – e – Kahf & Bader, Holy Mother of Christ
(Blessings of God be upon her), Balam Baoor, Hazrat Khezar (Blessings of God be
upon him), Tabot – e – Sakeenah} with some extra ordinary powers or miracles,
when they illustrate to their recruits, they declare all the Muslims same as Non
Muslims except themselves.
This self – worth lead them to a very inflexible and rigid personality. At that
stage of mind they devote themselves as savior of the (self – interpretational)
Islam either by preaching and propagating or by gun and groan. They percept
themselves the “sole bid winner” of the propagation and implementation of Islam
over the face of earth and advocate their strategy with out any geographic,
demographic or political limitations. These “daughter Cells” soon multiply and
develop their colonies, where they find optimum circumstances like K.S.A and
some other Arab States or the undeveloped areas of North western Pakistan and
Afghanistan. Their colony may include a (cerebral) progeny of single cell or
thousands of cells that originally interconnected with each other based on the
morphology of their organism (Self – interpretational Islam), although they wild
varied in shapes, cultures, activism and sharpness.
Progression toward Theo- political state:
In the presence of considerable theological inspirations, continual
encouragements from their cerebral religious leaders, constant geo – political
conflicts like Philistine & Kashmir, poor and corrupted administrations in their
native countries, poverty, illiteracy and unemployment provide them a very
fertile and progressive environment to exploit the “ common man” with attractive
slogans and imagination of super natural dreams. Above lined material is more
than enough to get attentions of the all segments of society. The above blended
recipe could cater to all type of taste buds. When it poured with the TURKA of
“resentment, vengeance and hate”. This is called Formative Period, during that
they mobilize the discontents of the society in which the ideology help them to
convent the people toward their common grievances. We can further subgroup the
formative period in three branches,
• Emotional progression
• Cerebral progression
• Political progression
As listed in past paragraph, all three elements of a progression are persisting
in a potential society like Pakistan or even world wild. They club all these
three elements under a single name like HEBUT TAHREER or Brotherhood and
mobilized the unhappy segment of the society to join them. They use their basic
ideology to the obligation of their will as a political strategy and
radical theory being a chief motivator or central cause for their cerebral
progression. Where as they very critically and actionably use “Sad Incidents”
for their emotional progression to marginally sharpening the “Public Resentment”
to reinforce their claim of grievance. These Theo - political groups with well
organized structure, well defined goal, clear ideology and having central
command are far more dangerous than semi - disciplined, unconstrained and
freelance violent groups. Since they have free public availability and very easy
access to the multipurpose latest technology like Public or social media,
internet, cell phone and all alike.
They develop the gradual thoughts to their members that since we are the
sweetheart “True Muslims”, therefore ALLAH (the most merciful) with us and rest
of the all the Non – Muslims and their Muslims allied are in the state of war
against the God, Whereas the common Muslim is Ignorant, since he has departed
from the (according to their self interpretation) “Muslim Truism”.
They propagate violently that they are striving for Islam and their ideas
present true Islam. They never fail to quote the Qur’anic verses, Hadiths and
opinions of their favorite Muslim scholars, giving the impression that their
ideas founded on pure Islam. They continually use the “Religious Rulings” of
their cerebral leaders and never hesitate to claim its opinion for the “Whole
Muslim Ummah”. Their struggle based on such ideas “The Caliphate is the only way
to change the current fate of the Muslims, Muslims should be in constant war
against non Muslims until they obtain glory of Islam. Muslims are obligated to
re-establish the Caliphate, struggle for that is martyrdom and the ultimate way
is to sacrifice for Islam and ALLAH (the most merciful) will not neglect one who
strives for glory of His religion. Submission and allegiance is to ALLAH (the
most merciful) alone and supremacy of Islam above all. (Key consideration in
counter ideological work against terrorist ideology by Muhammad Hanif bin Hasan,
page 533)
They are of views that the existing dominant Ruling systems and cultural changes
are due to the corrupted western and non Muslims therefore fatal to the proper
practice of faith and true Islam. The ruling elite classes of the Muslim
countries are religiously orphans and western puppets. Hence to be true and
faithful servant of ALLAH (the most merciful) one has to reject it totally and
committed oneself to fight against it ideologically or violently. They oppose
the long term co – existence and harmony with other (of different in opinion)
Muslims and neighboring non Muslim nations, except the total imposition of their
interpretation of Islam and those who would likely to live, have to accept their
term & conditions.
They are believed that the” center of gravity” is their ideology not any
personality or individual. The individuals who prove their unbroken faith and
loyalty to their ideology will be offered a right to lead the state. Comparing
his advancement and commitment to impose the ideology, it could be replaced or
demoted from the ruling position, if found unsatisfactory performance, since the
ideology would be the most powerful pillar of the potential state and it will
never die or divorced.
Be remember, the magnetic bond is their ideology, which could not be killed,
vanish or destroyed. It constantly stimulates them to win the public support and
sympathy against their rivals. Unfortunately we all are their rivals and
possible victims. Their dream to conquer the “Land Piece” is not limited, since
according to their definition, “ all the earth is of God & God sublet His power
to them to occupy and establish the glory of His religion” therefore with out
their ruling and decisive power they can not impose their ideology. Where they
beheaded the people on the name of Islam, where they encaged the 50% women
population like monkeys, where they destroyed the human historical and
artistically landmarks. Where they rape and loot the rival’s unarmed, innocent
and undisruptive population. Where they execute the offenders in the city’s
roundabouts. Where they hang the bodies of brutally killed or died leaders of
the rival societies. Where they nationalize the public property for self
interest in the name of Shareeh. Where they lash the people having no (navel
long) beards and not to uprooted the moustaches ignoring and ruling out the
principle of the Middle Way (Serat – ul - Wostaa). Where they accounted, man
handle and lash a teenager in the Chock of city for going out with his father in
law. Where they can ban the women education and promote the pre- adult
marriages. Where all news casters will be male but still the viewer will see
their back, since photo is forbidden in their definitions. Where driving
license, businesses, and other social and human activities forbidden for women
and they will serve as “Baby Production Machines”. No political doctrine will be
allowed except the ruling regime. When they establish their dream state, they
will not stop there, since it is one of the milestones down the road in their
way.
March over the “whole Earth”
Secondly they will search, chained and activate their regional affiliates. Draw
up a key map of their important ideas, which will provide them the “Belief
System” having a comprehensive accommodation of their basic ideology. Then they
will establish a “Command & control System” to monitor and assist the affiliates
in the target countries. They furnished their new objectives and goals
considering their past but successful strategy. May it takes many years but
since the ideology is there as a chief stimulator, nothing to worry about.
Now they have a state as central hub to funding, to propagate and to distribute
their ideas. They will extensively use the “Power of latest Communication
Technology” to distribute their ideology and to challenge the stability of the
regional countries same as the K.S.A have done in the recent past. They promote
the ideologically interlinked organizations, individuals and “Community Centers”
with billions of petrodollars to spread their Theo - Political regime in the
regional countries.
These regional affiliates will motivate the general public against the Govt.
blaming it for each and every unusual and wildly publicized the social evils
being a well effective propagation tool to blow up the vagarious and
discontented segments of the public. They will gain gradually public sympathy
and attention, calming their authentic struggle for change. As a result unease,
agitations, violence and disturbance will erupt. Innocent people will pay their
lives and property. General population will be scrutinized and suffer with heavy
losses and scamps.
The Salvation Army from
neighboring True Islamic Country will mount and conquered the state and set the
glory of (the most peaceful religion) Islam. This will continue till the last
state over the earth will come under the caliphate.
