Zawahiri calls for Kashmir’s liberation

Dubai: Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri has urged Muslims to work together to liberate Muslim lands, including Kashmir.
Zawahri urged Muslims to reject any deal that gives “'infidels” the right to control Muslim lands—an apparent reference to Egypt’s 1979 peace deal with Israel.
Zawahiri said these lands included the present day Israel and the Palestinian territories, Russia's Chechnya and other parts of the Caucasus region, Kashmir, the Spanish-ruled North African enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla claimed by Morocco, and East Turkestan in China's northwestern Xinjiang region.
Zawahiri said this in a document outlining how Muslims should run their affairs. The statement, entitled “'Supporting Islam”' and posted on an Islamist website, also called for the re-establishment of the medieval Islamic Caliphate to unite Muslims.
He also urged Muslims to use Muslim law to resolve disputes and “refuse judgment by any other principles, beliefs and laws”, including the United Nations.
Zawahri called on Muslims to work to set up a caliphate that “does not recognise nation state, national links or the borders imposed by the occupiers, but establishes a rightly guided caliphate following in the footsteps of the Prophet Muhammad”.—Agencies
