This is the letter which I handed to 10 Downing Street
in relation to the war against Afghanistan
In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful

To Gordon Brown, the Prime Minster of the United Kingdom,
It is a matter of fact that the war that you have launched against Afghanistan and the massacres that you commit against its civilians are not intended to target certain individuals, but rather the Islamic programme that was upheld and adopted by the Taliban. You wish to export your alleged democracy to Afghanistan as you tread past the pieces of the massacred children, women and elderly whom you have terrorised and killed. Revise all the dictionaries and you shall find that the worst definitions of ‘terrorism’ apply to what you and your government are committing in Afghanistan. Indeed you and your government, the US and your allies are practicing the worst forms of terrorism in the name of war against terrorism.

Let it be clear that the Taliban is not a group that consists of several individuals -as you imagine it to be the case- rather Taliban means Afghanistan and means the Afghan population. Thus when you fight the Taliban you are in fact fighting the people, hope and future of Afghanistan.

You and your government should be ashamed of your alliance with the Afghan gangs that cause corruption, commit crimes and deal with drugs, lead by the traitor and looser Hamid Karzai. Those people only represent themselves and care for the Afghani issue only to the extent that would ensure their ability to fulfil their desires and fill their ripped pockets with illegal money.

Why do you oppose so fiercely the nations that choose Islam for themselves, and only when they choose anything but Islam, you would recognise their democratic rights that should be respected?

Be acknowledged that what is happening in Afghanistan, concerns not only the Afghan population, but also all the Muslims around the world. Hence, when you attack this Muslim nation and abuse its rights, you are in fact attacking and abusing the entire Muslim world.

We ask you to withdraw your military forces from Afghanistan and to apologise to the Afghan nation and the Islamic world for the errors that you have committed against such a bereaved country. We ask you to gamble no more with the safety and emotions of the British people and the lives of your soldiers, more than you have done so already. We also ask you to leave Afghanistan for its real people, as you and the Soviets have killed more than a million civilians and turned millions into refugees, which ought to be enough abuse of the poor nation of Afghanistan.

On behalf of the protesters and the Muslim minority of the UK
