Karimov Slaughters over 700 in the land of Al Bukhari
TIME : 10.30 AM Wednesday 18th May 2005
UZBEK EMBASSY 41 Holland Park, London W11 3RP
On Friday Karimov ordered the killing of over 700 civilians, including women and children, as they fled from the his troops. This followed a demonstration where tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in the city of Andijan, Uzbekistan protesting against the oppressive regime of the western puppet Karimov.Karimov has been an ally of Bush's war on terror, and has received millions in western aid despite massive imprisonment, torture and murder of Islamic political activists. The British government sacked their ambassador when he publicised the case of Muzaffar Avazov, a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, boiled alive by Karimov.
We ask all Muslims here to use their voices against this oppression, to expose the hypocrisy of western foreign policy and to send a powerful message to the vile Karimov regime and call for the return of the Khilafah state in the Muslim world.
You have a responsibility to stand up for the Muslims of Uzbekistan against the lies of Karimov. You need to do the following:
(1) Contact the Uzbekistan Embassy in London
Ask to speak to Ambassador Tukhtapulat Riskiev or any other diplomats present. In a frank and courteous manner complain to him regarding the actions of the dictator Karimov. Make the following points
Tell him that Karimov has the blood of Muslims on his hands and that Muslims will not forget these crimes that he has committed and that this blood will not leave him.
Ask them whether they agree with Uzbek Interior minister Almatov who said, "We don't care if 200, 300 or 400 people die. We have force and we will chuck you out of there anyway".
Ask them why does not Karimov and his henchmen step aside and make way for a representative Islamic government?
Demand that he passes on this message to President Karimov directly.

(2) Contact Western companies and organisations that work with the Uzbek regime
Some of the main companies and organisations involved in Uzbekistan include British American Tobacco, the UK-listed mining company Oxus Gold and the University of Westminster. They do business with a regime that routinely uses torture as a means of interrogation against its citizens. Contact them and ask them if they, like Western governments, are willing to dispense with all ethical values and turn a blind eye to the repression of Uzbek Muslims by the Uzbek regime?
Contact Oxus Gold to register your concern about their continued investment in Uzbekistan. Ask for Richard Wilkins, commercial director and secretary or CEO William Trew:
Telephone 0207-907-2000 or email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Richard Wilkins - 07979854950
Contact British American Tobacco on 0207-845-1000 and ask to speak to their public relations officer
Contact University of Westminster on 0207-911-5000 and ask to speak to their public relations officer
(3) Take part in a "Day of Action" on Wednesday 18th May 2005
Further details to be announced - watch this space - keep the morning free
(4) Speak to your relatives and friends
It may be surprising but some Muslims in Britain may be unaware of the situation of Muslims in Uzbekistan. You need to tell them how tens of thousands of Uzbek Muslims are heroically languishing in jail for practising Islam and accounting the tyrant Karimov. These are the real heroes of this Ummah in this era.
Remind them of the hadith of the Messenger (saw): "The best Jihad is the word of truth spoken to the tyrant ruler".
(5) Raise awareness about the issue in the media
You have an opportunity to contact radio phone-ins and write letters to newspapers about events in Uzbekistan. Focus on the hypocrisy of the West who support the tyrant Karimov and the right of Muslims to determine their own political destiny. Choose the best words and argue your point politely so as to win over others to this point of view.
(6) Remember the Muslims of Uzbekistan in your du'a
During the battle of Badr, the Prophet Muhammad (saw) stood up all night in prayer seeking Allah's [swt] help in the battle between unequal armies that would follow the next day. In the decisive battles against the crusaders, Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi was busy day and night. His days were devoted to Jihad. His nights were spent making du'a, crying, seeking Allah's help.
Some Background on Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan is a republic in central Asia whose inhabitants number approximately 26 million. Its land is of the most fertile and it is one of the richest due to its natural resources. Uzbekistan became independent in 1992 when the Soviet Union broke up but remained linked to Russia militarily, politically, economically and in terms of security, through ‘The Commonwealth of Independent States’ (CIS) which was established as a substitute for the former Soviet Union. More recently, Uzbekistan has been a key ally of western governments in the ‘war on terror’, providing an airbase from which attacks on Afghanistan have been launched.
No sooner did the godless communism collapse and the central Asian republics became independent, than their inhabitants felt that they had become freed from the slavery of communism and the dictatorship of the Russians. They began to return to the fold of Islam which was forbidden to them for three quarters of a century. They went back to cleaning their mosques, most of which the Russians had turned into alcohol store houses and pig pens. They proceeded to give money and accept donations from their Muslim brothers outside the country in order to restore old mosques and to build new ones. The republic of Uzbekistan was one of the most devoted to Islam from the central Asian republics. It is no surprise that its people were known for their love for Islam since ancient times. For the Ummah, it has given birth to some of the great scholars, like Bukhari, Tirmidhi, Nasafi and Zamakhshari.If you have any questions or comments regarding the content of this email please send them to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
