The Prophet(s.a.w) said He who is not concerned about the affairs of the Muslims, then he is not of them [At-Tabarani] Topic:Only 12% of People Killed in US Drone Strikes in Pakistan Identified as Militants, Says Report Research by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, an independent news organisation based at City University, London, has found that only 12% of victims of US drone strikes in Pakistan could be identified as militants. In a report, released by the organisation, researchers also found that fewer than 4% of those killed have been identified as members of al Qaeda. The report said that out of the 2,379 known victims of drone strikes between June 2004 and October 2014, 704 have been identified. Only 295 of these were reported to be members of some kind of armed group. The report alleges that of those there were few corroborating details to account for those who were solely listed as militants. More than a third of them were not designated a rank within their militant organisation, and almost 30% were not even linked to a specific group. Only 84 of those designated as militants could be identified as members of al Qaeda, less than 4% of the total number of people killed. The Bureaus findings appear to contradict remarks made by John Kerry, the US Secretary of State, who claimed last year that American drone strikes only targeted confirmed terrorist targets at the highest level. The report was made as part of the Bureaus ‘Naming the Dead scheme, a project which aims to compile the names and other details of people killed by CIA drones in Pakistan. A recent strike in October this year has brought the total number of drone attacks up to 400, since the first known strike in 2004. [Source: NewsWeek] This clearly shows that America is at war with the whole of Islam and the ummah. Americas military does not differentiate between militants or civilians, and she acts with impunity while professing the values of freedom and respect for human dignity. The same can be said for Americas robotic wars in other Muslim countries like Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. The time has come for the Muslim ummah to rise and stop such attacks by removing the tyrant rulers who aid and abet America in the evil crusade. This can only be done by re- establishing the rightly guided Khilafah on the ruins of the regimes that side with America and her allies.
