Muslim brothers!
As you know, the ongoing war between Islam and infidelity (Kufar) in the
entire world these days is actually the war of two systems i.e. Sharia and
democracy. Currently, the system established in the whole world, including
Pakistan is democracy. However, Pakistan was created so that Muslims could
have a country where they spend their lives according to Sharia. But
unfortunately, this basic goal has not been achieved thus far. Efforts are
being made day and night to bring an anti-Islamic system. Today, Muslims
are trying even more than non-Muslims to bring this dismal system into force
in Pakistan. The election preparations going on these days are actually the
first steps toward a democratic system.
Muslim brothers! Our war is against democracy and its implementers.
Whether they are Muslims or non-Muslims, residing in Pakistan or America
and Europe, whether they call themselves religious and whatever their slogan
may be; these people are the actual enemies of Islam who claim to bring
Islam through a democratic way. These people make fun of Islam and its
history. We humbly request Muslim brothers to cooperate with us—
physically and financially—in this war between infidelity (Kufar) and Islam
and refrain from every type of activity carried out for elections.
Muslim brothers! Refrain from any kind of cooperation in elections.
Teachers should give up duties assigned to them, people should stay away
from polling stations during voting, people should not take part in public
gatherings. Because wherever we get an opportunity, we will target the
worshipers of democracy at those places, whether they are common or
special people. This will be damaging for you, both in this world and the
world hereafter.
