Launch of Iraq Handover Dossier

    The war in Iraq is part of the war on terror, yet ironically for a
    war that claims to concern itself with ending terror, it has brought
    terror to the people of Iraq and has fuelled terror throughout the
    world. We believe that the prospect of peace and stable government
    in Iraq, after the June handover, is minimal and that real control
    is expected to lie with the US ambassador to Iraq, John Negroponte,
    and his huge staff of 2000 diplomats, and not with the people of Iraq.

The war in Iraq is part of the war on terror, yet ironically for a war 
that claims to concern itself with ending terror, it has brought terror 
to the people of Iraq and has fuelled terror throughout the world. We 
believe that the prospect of peace and stable government in Iraq, after 
the June handover, is minimal and that real control is expected to lie 
with the US ambassador to Iraq, John Negroponte, and his huge staff of 
2000 diplomats, and not with the people of Iraq.

What we present here is our reasoned perspective. We know that many of 
you shared our discontent with the war on Iraq, and are sure that you 
hope at least to achieve some good from this terrible episode. 
Nevertheless, we conclude that the hand over of sovereignty this June is 
as much a lie as any of the lies that we have grown accustomed to during 
this war and the lead up to it.

The evidence for this is presented in the chapters of this dossier,

We do not conclude with a message of doom, but of hope, because, despite 
our perception that western style liberal secular democracy is failing 
in Iraq, the rule of law, representative government and accountability 
before the people are not the sole preserve of the west. Islam offers an 
alternative system of government, worthy of consideration, called 
Khilafah, which stands for the rule of law, representative government 
and accountability. Surface similarities notwithstanding, it is 
distinct, and so we present its main features in some detail in the 
final chapter.

We recommend a real end to the occupation of Iraq, in order to allow the 
people of Iraq to realise once again the successful system of government 
that lasted thirteen hundred years. The occupation of Iraq by the 
British army in 1917 brought this system to an end and resulted in a 
century of failure. The Muslim community in Britain invite you to study, 
with an open mind, both our analysis and our vision for change.
