The Ongoing Catastrophe In Aleppo: 37th Anniversary Of Soviet Invasion
10 December 2016
By Muhammad Sohail Shaheen
It is with great sadness to be witnessing that tens of thousands of unarmed
civilians mainly women and children are besieged in the Syrian city of Aleppo,
with reports coming out about their slaughter, injury and inhumane treatment.
The Islamic Emirate calls upon all parties involved in the Syrian conflict to
desist from endangering the lives of unarmed civilian Muslims and put an end
to all atrocities against them.
The Syrian conflict is a great Divine test for the entire Muslim world. The
Islamic Emirate calls upon the Islamic world, Islamic Conference, scholars of
the Muslim world and all involved parties to not remain indifferent and
prevent the suffering of women, children and unarmed civilians.
Intervention by foreign powers in that country – be they under whatever name
or excuse – will only prolong this catastrophe. Mass slaughter by air raids
and the humanitarian crisis brought about by the suffering can never be
justified. We express our deepest sympathy with the oppressed people of Syria
especially with the women and children who have been killed and are targets of
barbaric actions. We pray to Allah to have mercy on the disastrous situation
of the Islamic world, deliver His slaves, withhold the hand of the aggressor
and emancipate the oppressed from oppression, Ameen O Lord of the Universe.

Statement of Islamic Emirate regarding 37th
Anniversary of Soviet Invasion
Thirty seven years ago today on the 6th of Jaddi 1358 (Hijri Solar), the
Soviet Union launched a military invasion of our beloved homeland,
Afghanistan.
The military invasion against our poor defenseless people by the international
idol of communism put our nation in at a terrifying crossroads. While looking
at their weak state and strength of the enemy, if they were to choose
surrender in front of the communist infidelity , they faced the prospect of
elimination of their creed, religious values and Afghan culture as well as the
danger of losing the upcoming generations to absolute misguidance and
irreligiosity like the other Muslims nations ravaged by communism. And if they
were to choose empty handed resistance against a powerful foe then they would
have to face heavy casualties, hardships, migrations and losses. Our believing
nation began armed Jihad against the Soviet superpower in defense of their
religion and beliefs and with the blessing of 14 year Jihad and immense
sacrifices, they defeated the communist atheism and shielded their nation and
the world from this deadly plague.
Today some deviated and superficial people consider the Afghan Jihad against
the Soviets as a futile harmful war. However they do not realize that had the
Afghan nation surrendered to the comprehensive communist invasion and accepted
their atheist ideology and beliefs, what would their condition be today? It is
known that today this nation would not have understood the proper beliefs and
actions of Islam and like other communism ravaged Muslim nations, they would
have lost their history and deviated from Islam ideologically, politically,
educationally, culturally, economically and in all other aspects of life.
All praise belong to Allah that our nation chose worldly hardships, suffering
and sacrifices and saved themselves and the upcoming generations from
everlasting destruction.
On the anniversary of Soviet invasion on 6th of Jaddi – like how we condemn
the dreadful tyrannical occupation of the Soviet invaders – we remind the
American invaders and their allies of today to take heed from the fate of the
Soviets. Just like how the Soviet forces knelt before this nation with all
their might and wealth, the Americans will also follow in their footsteps.
Instead of further testing force and prolonging the occupation, think about
how to quickly end your tyrannical invasion. Leave the Afghan nation to live a
life of peace and security so to heal the wounds caused by the thirty year
war.
