Pakistan Zindabad!

[danishthanvi]

This is not about Musharraf anymore. This is about clipping the wings of a strong Pakistani military, denying space for China in Pakistan, squashing the ISI, stirring ethnic unrest, and neutralizing Pakistan’s nuclear program. The first shot in this plan was fired in Pakistan’s Balochistan province in 2004. The last bullet will be toppling Musharraf, sidelining the military and installing a pliant government in Islamabad. Musharraf shares the blame for letting things come this far. But he is also trying to punch holes in Washington’s game plan. He needs to be supported.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—On the evening of Tuesday, 26 September, 2006, Pakistani strongman Pervez Musharraf walked into the studio of Comedy Central’s ‘Daily Show’ with Jon Stewart, the first sitting president anywhere to dare do this political satire show.



Stewart offered his guest some tea and cookies and played the perfect host by asking, “Is it good?” before springing a surprise: “Where's Osama bin Laden?"



"I don't know," Musharraf replied, as the audience enjoyed the rare sight of a strong leader apparently cornered. "You know where he is?” Musharraf snapped back, “You lead on, we'll follow you."



What Gen. Musharraf didn’t know then is that he really was being cornered. Some of the smiles that greeted him in Washington and back home gave no hint of the betrayal that awaited him.



As he completed the remaining part of his U.S. visit, his allies in Washington and elsewhere, as all evidence suggests now, were plotting his downfall. They had decided to take a page from the book of successful ‘color revolutions’ where western governments covertly used money, private media, student unions, NGOs and international pressure to stage coups, basically overthrowing individuals not fitting well with Washington’s agenda.



This recipe proved its success in former Yugoslavia, and more recently in Georgia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.



In Pakistan, the target is a Pakistani president who refuses to play ball with the United States on Afghanistan, China, and Dr. A.Q. Khan.



To get rid of him, an impressive operation is underway:



* A carefully crafted media blitzkrieg launched early this year assailing the Pakistani president from all sides, questioning his power, his role in Washington’s war on terror and predicting his downfall.
* Money pumped into the country to pay for organized dissent.
* Willing activists assigned to mobilize and organize accessible social groups.
* A campaign waged on Internet where tens of mailing lists and ‘news agencies’ have sprung up from nowhere, all demonizing Musharraf and the Pakistani military.
* European- and American-funded Pakistani NGOs taking a temporary leave from their real jobs to work as a makeshift anti-government mobilization machine.
* U.S. government agencies directly funding some private Pakistani television networks; the channels go into an open anti-government mode, cashing in on some manufactured and other real public grievances regarding inflation and corruption.
* Some of Musharraf’s shady and corrupt political allies feed this campaign, hoping to stay in power under a weakened president.
* All this groundwork completed and chips in place when the judicial crisis breaks out in March 2007. Even Pakistani politicians surprised at a well-greased and well-organized lawyers campaign, complete with flyers, rented cars and buses, excellent event-management and media outreach.
* Currently, students are being recruited and organized into a street movement. The work is ongoing and urban Pakistani students are being cultivated, especially using popular Internet Web sites and ‘online hangouts’. The people behind this effort are mostly unknown and faceless, limiting themselves to organizing sporadic, small student gatherings in Lahore and Islamabad, complete with banners, placards and little babies with arm bands for maximum media effect. No major student association has announced yet that it is behind these student protests, which is a very interesting fact glossed over by most journalists covering this story. Only a few students from affluent schools have responded so far and it’s not because the Pakistani government’s countermeasures are effective. They’re not. The reason is that social activism attracts people from affluent backgrounds, closely reflecting a uniquely Pakistani phenomenon where local NGOs are mostly founded and run by rich, westernized Pakistanis.



All of this may appear to be spur-of-the-moment and Musharraf-specific. But it all really began almost three years ago, when, out of the blue and recycling old political arguments, Mr. Akbar Bugti launched an armed rebellion against the Pakistani state, surprising security analysts by using rockets and other military equipment that shouldn’t normally be available to a smalltime village thug. Since then, Islamabad sits on a pile of evidence that links Mr. Bugti’s campaign to money and ammunition and logistical support from Afghanistan, directly aided by the Indians and the Karzai administration, with the Americans turning a blind eye.



For reasons not clear to our analysts yet, Islamabad has kept quiet on Washington’s involvement with anti-Pakistan elements in Afghanistan. But Pakistan did send an indirect public message to the Americans recently.



“We have indications of Indian involvement with anti-state elements in Pakistan,” declared the spokesman of the Pakistan Foreign Office in a regular briefing in October. The statement was terse and direct and the spokesman, Ms. Tasnim Aslam, quickly moved on to other issues.



This is how a Pakistani official explained Ms. Aslam’s statement: “What she was really saying is this: We know what the Indians are doing. They’ve sold the Americans on the idea that [the Indians] are an authority on Pakistan and can be helpful in Afghanistan. The Americans have bought the idea and are in on the plan, giving the Indians a free hand in Afghanistan. What the Americans don’t know is that we, too, know the Indians very well. Better still, we know Afghanistan very well. You can’t beat us at our own game.”



Mr. Bugti’s armed rebellion coincided with the Gwadar project entering its final stages. No coincidence here. Mr. Bugti’s real job was to scare the Chinese away and scuttle Chinese President Hu Jintao’s planned visit to Gwadar a few months later to formally launch the port city.



Gwadar is the pinnacle of Sino-Pakistani strategic cooperation. It’s a modern port city that is supposed to link Central Asia, western China, and Pakistan with markets in Mideast and Africa. It’s supposed to have roads stretching all the way to China. It’s no coincidence either that China has also earmarked millions of dollars to renovate the Karakoram Highway linking northern Pakistan to western China.



Some reports in the American media, however, have accused Pakistan and China of building a naval base in the guise of a commercial seaport directly overlooking international oil shipping lanes. The Indians and some other regional actors are also not comfortable with this project because they see it as commercial competition.



What Mr. Bugti’s regional and international supporters never expected is Pakistan moving firmly and strongly to nip his rebellion in the bud. Even Mr. Bugti himself probably never expected the Pakistani state to react in the way it did to his betrayal of the homeland. He was killed in a military operation where scores of his mercenaries surrendered to Pakistan army soldiers.



U.S. intelligence and their Indian advisors could not cultivate an immediate replacement for Mr. Bugti. So they moved to Plan B. They supported Abdullah Mehsud, a Pakistani Taliban fighter held for five years in Guantanamo Bay, and then handed over back to the Afghan government, only to return to his homeland, Pakistan, to kidnap two Chinese engineers working in Balochistan, one of whom was eventually killed during a rescue operation by the Pakistani government.



Islamabad could not tolerate this shadowy figure that was creating a following among ordinary Pakistanis masquerading as a Taliban while in reality toeing a vague agenda. He was rightly eliminated earlier this year by Pakistani security forces while secretly returning from Afghanistan after meeting his handlers there. Again, no surprises here.



SMELLING A RAT



This is where Pakistani political and military officials finally started smelling a rat. All of this was an indication of a bigger problem. There were growing indications that, ever since Islamabad joined Washington’s regional plans, Pakistan was gradually turning into a ‘besieged-nation’, heavily targeted by the American media while being subjected to strategic sabotage and espionage from Afghanistan.



Afghanistan, under America’s watch, has turned into a vast staging ground for sophisticated psychological and military operations to destabilize neighboring Pakistan.



During the past three years, the heat has gradually been turned up against Pakistan and its military along Pakistan’s western regions:



* A shadowy group called the BLA, a Cold War relic, rose from the dead to restart a separatist war in southwestern Pakistan.
* Bugti’s death was a blow to neo-BLA, but the shadowy group’s backers didn’t repent. His grandson, Brahmdagh Bugti, is currently enjoying a safe shelter in the Afghan capital, Kabul, where he continues to operate and remote-control his assets in Pakistan.
* Saboteurs trained in Afghanistan have been inserted into Pakistan to aggravate extremist passions here, especially after the Red Mosque operation.
* Chinese citizens continue to be targeted by individuals pretending to be Islamists, when no known Islamic group has claimed responsibility.
* A succession of ‘religious rebels’ with suspicious foreign links have suddenly emerged in Pakistan over the past months claiming to be ‘Pakistani Taliban’. Some of the names include Abdul Rashid Ghazi, Baitullah Mehsud, and now the Maulana of Swat. Some of them have used and are using encrypted communication equipment far superior to what Pakistani military owns.
* Money and weapons have been fed into the religious movements and al Qaeda remnants in the tribal areas.



Exploiting the situation, assets within the Pakistani media started promoting the idea that the Pakistani military was killing its own people. The rest of the unsuspecting media quickly picked up this message. Some botched American and Pakistani military operations against Al Qaeda that caused civilian deaths accidentally fed this media campaign.



This was the perfect timing for the launch of Military, Inc.: Inside Pakistan’s Military Economy, a book authored by Dr. Ayesha Siddiqa Agha, a columnist for a Pakistani English-language paper and a correspondent for ‘Jane’s Defence Weekly’, a private intelligence service founded by experts close to the British intelligence.



TARGET: PAK MILITARY



The book was launched in Pakistan in early 2007 by Oxford Press. And, contrary to most reports, it is openly available in Islamabad’s biggest bookshops. The book portrays the Pakistani military as an institution that is eating up whatever little resources Pakistan has.



Pakistani military’s successful financial management, creating alternate financial sources to spend on a vast military machine and build a conventional and nuclear near-match with a neighboring adversary five times larger – an impressive record for any nation by any standard – was distorted in the book and reduced to a mere attempt by the military to control the nation’s economy in the same way it was controlling its politics.



The timing was interesting. After all, it was hard to defend a military in the eyes of its own proud people when the chief of the military is ruling the country, the army is fighting insurgents and extremists who claim to be defending Islam, grumpy politicians are out of business, and the military’s side businesses, meant to feed the nation’s military machine, are doing well compared to the shabby state of the nation’s civilian departments.



Dr. Siddiqa and her book are not important. Worse things have been said about Pakistanis before. All of these details are insignificant if detached from the real issue at hand. And the issue is the demonization of the Pakistani military as an integral part of the media siege around Pakistan, with the American media leading the way in this campaign.



Some of the juicy details of this siege around Pakistan include:



* The attempt by several American and British writers – and one Pakistani, Dr. Siddiqa – to pitch junior officers against senior officers in Pakistan Armed Forces by alleging discrimination in the distribution of benefits. Apart from being malicious and unfounded, her argument was carefully designed to generate frustration and demoralize Pakistani soldiers.
* The American media insisting on handing Dr. A. Q. Khan to the United States so that a final conviction against the Pakistani military can be secured.
* Mrs. Benazir Bhutto demanding after returning to Pakistan that the ISI be restructured; and in a press conference during her house arrest in Lahore in November she went as far as asking Pakistan army officers to revolt against the army chief, a damning attempt at destroying a professional army from within.



Some of this appears to be eerily similar to the campaign waged against the Pakistani military in 1999, when, in July that year, an unsigned full page advertisement appeared in major American newspapers with the following headline: “A Modern Rogue Army With Its Finger On The Nuclear Button.”



Until this day, it is not clear who exactly paid for such an expensive newspaper full-page advertisement. But one thing is clear: the agenda behind that advertisement is back in action.



Strangely, just a few days before Mrs. Bhutto’s statements about restructuring ISI and the need for army officers to stage a mutiny against their leadership, the American conservative magazine The Weekly Standard interviewed an American security expert with similar ideas:



"A large number of ISI agents who are responsible for helping the Taliban and al Qaeda should be thrown in jail or killed. What I think we should do in Pakistan is a parallel version of what Iran has run against us in Iraq: giving money [and] empowering actors. Some of this will involve working with some shady characters, but the alternative—sending U.S. forces into Pakistan for a sustained bombing campaign—is worse.” Steve Schippert, Weekly Standard, Nov. 2007.



In addition to these media attacks, which security experts call ‘psychological operations’, the American media and politicians have intensified over the past year their campaign to prepare the international public opinion to accept a western intervention in Pakistan along the lines of Iraq and Afghanistan:



* Newsweek came up with an entire cover story with a single storyline: Pakistan is a more dangerous place than Iraq.
* Senior American politicians, Republican and Democrat, have argued that Pakistan is more dangerous than Iran and merits similar treatment. On 20 October, Joe Biden told ABC News that Washington needs to put soldiers on ground in Pakistan and invite the international community to join in. "We should be in there," he said. "We should be supplying tens of millions of dollars to build new schools to compete with the madrassas. We should be in there building democratic institutions. We should be in there, and get the rest of the world in there, giving some structure to the emergence of, hopefully, the reemergence of a democratic process.”
* The International Crisis Group (ICG) has recommended gradual sanctions for Pakistan similar to those imposed on Iran, e.g. slapping travel bans on Pakistani military officers and seizing Pakistani military assets abroad.
* The process of painting Pakistan’s nuclear assets as pure evil lying around waiting for some do-gooder to come in and ‘secure’ them has reached unprecedented levels, with the U.S. media again depicting Pakistan as a nation incapable of protecting its nuclear installations. On 22 October, Jane Harman from the U.S. House Intelligence panel gave the following statement: "I think the U.S. would be wise – and I trust we are doing this – to have contingency plans [to seize Pakistan’s nuclear assets], especially because should [Musharraf] fall, there are nuclear weapons there.”
* The American media has now begun discussing the possibility of Pakistan breaking up and the possibility of new states of ‘Balochistan’ and ‘Pashtunistan’ being carved out of it. Interestingly, one of the first acts of the shady Maulana of Swat after capturing a few towns was to take down the Pakistani flag from the top of state buildings and replacing them with his own party flag.
* The ‘chatter’ about President Musharraf’s eminent fall has also increased dramatically in the mainly American media, which has been very generous in marketing theories about how Musharraf might “disappear” or be “removed” from the scene. According to some Pakistani analysts, this could be an attempt to prepare the public opinion for a possible assassination of the Pakistani president.
* Another worrying thing is how American officials are publicly signaling to the Pakistanis that Mrs. Benazir Bhutto has their backing as the next leader of the country. Such signals from Washington are not only a kiss of death for any public leader in Pakistan, but the Americans also know that their actions are inviting potential assassins to target Mrs. Bhutto. If she is killed in this way, there won’t be enough time to find the real culprit, but what’s certain is that unprecedented international pressure will be placed on Islamabad while everyone will use their local assets to create maximum internal chaos in the country. A dress rehearsal of this scenario has already taken place in October when no less than the U.N. Security Council itself intervened to ask the international community to “assist” in the investigations into the assassination attempt on Mrs. Bhutto on 18 October. This generous move was sponsored by the U.S. and, interestingly, had no input from Pakistan which did not ask for help in investigations in the first place.



Some Pakistani security analysts privately say that American ‘chatter’ about Musharraf or Bhutto getting killed is a serious matter that can’t be easily dismissed. Getting Bhutto killed can generate the kind of pressure that could result in permanently putting the Pakistani military on a back foot, giving Washington enough room to push for installing a new pliant leadership in Islamabad fully backed by the West.



Having Musharraf killed isn’t a bad option either. The unknown Islamists can always be blamed and the military will not be able to put another soldier at the top, and circumstances will be created to ensure that either Mrs. Bhutto or someone like her is eased into power.

Mr AHMED QURAISHI, Have 2 QUESTIONS - I hope you will not SHY AWAY from answering me. 1. Mr Quraishi,you love ISI & President Musharraf. Yet, Sheikh Ayman Al-Zawahiri has called Musharraf corrupt, vile, anti-Islam and indeed other very low level comments. Sheikh's comments on ISI were also very denigrating. What are your views on the Sheikh's views? 2. Sheikh Zawahari goes on to state that "I wish to stress here the vital fact that the jihad to liberate Kashmir should first be liberated from the ISI because corrupt governments spoil jihad". DID ISI THEREFORE SUPPORT JIHADIS IN KASHMIR OR IS THE SHEIKH LYING? What do you think? Thanks !!

I think the open attack on Pakistan soil will prove to be one last nail to the coffin of Pak Army reputation if they stand and watch while civilians dying in their homes without any cause. Army or Govt. should take a firm stand against this and file a formal complain and end all military ties with US to show sympathies to the People who died for nothing. There should be some limits to patience. Why people will not become extremists when attacks like these happen in our country and our defenders and govt will take no actions! please tell me why?

A Message from Sheikh Ayman Al-Zawahiri to the Pakistan Army and the People of Pakistan Aug 2008 In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful My Muslim brothers and sisters in Pakistan – Assalam o alaikum I want to speak to you today regarding the miserable condition to which Pakistan has deteriorated. I have decided to speak to you today in English the thing I dislike not from a nationalistic point of view because Allah (swt) knows that we are among the fiercest enemies of nationalists and their like who believe in the Western democratic system and British political and legislative system instead of the Law of Allah (swt) to whom we ascribe all perfection and majesty and who have divided the Muslim Ummah and been the cause of some of the worst catastrophes the Ummah has faced in her modern history. But rather I don’t like to speak in English for a number of other reasons. First of all it isn’t the language of the holy Qur’an which should be the language of communication between Muslims or at least it is not one of the languages of the Muslims which can be an alternative language of communication. I hope that one day the Westerners embrace Islam and their language becomes part of the family of Muslim languages. But till that day comes the English language is the language of the Muslims Enemies who have occupied their lands, forcibly implanted Israel in their midst, looted their resources, tortured, deported and killed them and aided supported and enforced the corrupt tyrant regimes which are sucking our blood. And replacing our divine Shariah with man made laws It is the language which we didn’t choose but are forced to use due to our weakness and dependency. Secondly it is not my mother tongue through which I am able to express my ideas in the best possible manner keeping in mind that the Arabic language is considered to be one of the richest, broadest and most beautiful languages on earth But unfortunately most of you don’t understand the Arabic language and sadly I am unable to speak in Urdu that charming language otherwise I wouldn’t hesitate to speak in it. Therefore and in spite of all that I have mentioned I have decided to speak to you today in English in order to communicate directly with you and draw your attention as much as I can to the imminent and grave dangers which are facing Pakistan So from the start I beg your pardon for my weak English language which I have only partially mastered. The second thing I wish to beg your pardon for is that for me and for all my brothers who have lived in Pakistan for some time it is difficult to remain detached and neutral on issues relating to Pakistan because we have a deep emotional and sentimental relationship with this land and its peoples. All of us have enjoyed the warm welcome and the caring attitude of most Pakistanis which has been so evident during the current crusade being carried out in Pakistan by Pervez and his hunting dogs in compliance with the orders of their masters in Washington. And for me personally Pakistan is an old love from childhood days because my grandfather professor Abd-ul-Wahab Azzam was a great lover of Allama Iqbal (may Allah be pleased with him). He was the first to translate his poems into Arabic poetry and among his many books was one about Allama Iqbal. I read that book and much of his Arabic translations of Paim-e-mashriq, Armaghan-e-Hijaz, Zarb e Kaleem and other divans early on in my life and as I grew up Pakistan represented for me as well as many millions of Muslims a hope and a dream of establishing a strong independent Muslim government after the colonial era. I came face to face with that hope in reality in the summer of 1980 when I came to Pakistan for the first time to treat the Afghan Muhajireen and Mujahideen and from that time until I along with thousands of other sincere Muslims supporting the Afghan jihad was forced to leave Pakistan at the behest of the Crusader Americans in the early nineties. I stayed no less than six years in Pakistan mostly in Peshawar that charming city which I still admire greatly and during my time there I came to know its ins and outs like any real Peshawarite. Throughout that time I like thousands of my brothers mixed thoroughly with Pakistan society and I was blessed to have at that time some fine Pakistani friends and brothers whom I hope still remember me today. As I said before I came into actual contact with what I considered to be a hope and by living in Pakistan I was given the opportunity by the grace of Allah (swt) to develop a deep understanding of the complex goods and evils of Pakistan. Moreover I was able to compare the common powers and ills of many different Muslim societies and after all those years and experiences I still consider Pakistan to represent a hope and a bastion for the establishment of a strong independent Muslim country not only in the post colonial era but also in the face of the contemporary Zionist Crusader campaign. This hope is not based on the so called theory of Pakistan which has now vanished particularly after the engagement of the Pakistan Army and Security Agencies in the American war against Islam and the massacre of the red mosque. Rather it is based on my belief that there are millions of Muslims in Pakistan ready to sacrifice all that can be sacrificed for the victory of Islam When I was living in Pakistan it was difficult for me to imagine that one day we would be thrown out of Pakistan and that the liberators of Afghanistan and the defenders of Pakistan would overnight be declared the so called terrorists and pursued in every nook and cranny of the country. To this day there lies next to the border gate of Torkham a silent graveyard containing the remains of approx 200 Arab mujahideen and standing as a living material witness to how the rulers of the so called Islamic republic of Pakistan betrayed their Muslim brothers who inflicted no harm on Pakistan and committed no sin other than sacrificing their souls for the sake of Allah to liberate Afghanistan and protect the borders of Pakistan. After that, life taught me to be more realistic and I stumbled upon the bitter reality that these greedy rulers were not only prepared to betray their Muslim brothers and deport them from Pakistan but were also prepared to kill and arrest their innocent and cooperative Muslim neighbours and to help and support the neo-crusaders in occupying their lands bombing and burning their villages and overthrowing their honest Islamic emirate and replacing it with a corrupt anti Pakistan puppet regime made up of traitors and drug traffickers many of whom are loyal to India and Russia. And not only that but they are also prepared to kill their own citizens and demolish their houses over the heads of their women and children. They are even prepared to destroy mosques and madrassas and kill thousands of male and female students just to appease and please their masters who pay them, the neo-crusaders in the White House. This greedy gang worships its salaries, benefits and bribes and if you pay them enough they are prepared to do whatever you would like them to do however dirty it might be and not in the dark or behind the scenes but in the full light of day in uniform and under the motto Faith, Taqwa (Allah Fearing) and Jihad in Allah’s path. Therefore my message today to every Pakistani Muslim sincere in his love for Islam and his Prophet (pbuh) is to rise up to his religion and moral responsibility and to ask himself specific serious crucial questions: 1. Is the Pakistan army an army defending Muslims or merely a security service agency or a band of mercenaries which kills Muslims to please those who pay it, the new crusaders in the white house? And what do these American masters really think of the Pakistan army? 2. Can any Pakistani serving in such an army or directly contributing to his Governments criminal role in the modern anti Islam crusade the so called ‘war on terror’ really be a sincere Muslim or is he simply an enemy of Islam violating the fundamental principles of Qur’an and Sunnah? 3. Does anything by the name of the theory of Pakistan still exist? Or has it drowned in the innocent blood spilled in the name of the war of terror or perhaps been crushed under the ruins of the Red Mosque? Regarding the first question it is evident that for years the Pakistan Army’s primary duty has been to take part both directly as well as indirectly in the killing of Muslims from Kabul to Islamabad. It has through the orders of its greedy commanding officers been transformed into any army which instead of acting as the defender of the Ummah is in fact posing the greatest of dangers to the dignity, safety and property of Muslims in South Asia and the Middle East and is even threatening the very existence of Pakistan. General Abidzaid: “This is a battle of moderation against extremism. It is one that we got to fight and Pakistan has shown immense courage in doing that. The Pakistani armed forces have moved into an area where the extremists where openly operating in Waziristan” Footage being shown of Pak Army carrying out operations in Waziristan Footage being shown of Pak Navy: “Pakistan’s navy also plays an important role in the US coalition. American warships are sitting targets for suicide bombers.” Captain Asif Khalid: The coalition presence over here have ensured that the sea lanes or the areas are not used for the terrorist purposes Just compare the practices of the Pakistan Army with its famous motto: Iman, Taqwa and Jihad for the sake of Allah and you will discover that the writing of such a motto on army buildings is nothing more than a silly joke. Let me my brothers and sisters remind you here of just some of the crimes committed by Pervez and his bribe seeking gang against Muslims inside and outside of Pakistan. Pervez has proven himself to be one of the biggest enemies of Islam in Pakistan. He declared in his first statement after his takeover of the presidency as he hugged his 2 dogs that his ideal and role model is Attaturk who destroyed the Khilafah, killed the ulema, banned the hijab and forcibly imposed secularism upon Turkey. In accordance with the orders of the neo crusaders Pervez offered all the support necessary to topple the Islamic emirate in Kabul and with that the government of Pakistan killed the hope the Muslim afghan nation fought 20 years to achieve and for which millions of Muslims and thousands of Mujahideen laid down their lives an Islamic state inside Afghanistan and with that it accomplished the old objective of America and the West which they had tried their best to realize after the Russian defeat to establish a broad based government made up of secularists, atheists, communists, warlords and agents of the west. It was an objective which they themselves had failed to achieve despite all their attempts, but the Pakistani government was able to accomplish it for them. Pervez has tried his best to put as many obstacles as he could in the path of the Islamic Madrassas in Pakistan and he invented a new religion devoid of Jihad, enjoining of good and forbidding evil and adherence to the rules of Shariah, a religion which he described as “enlightened moderation” thus presenting a new American sponsored Qadyaneiah to revive the old British sponsored one. Almighty Allah says “Who then is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah that he should lead astray men without knowledge? Surely Allah does not guide the unjust” And Allama Iqbal says ‘He may change the Kaba into a Magian fire home if he wishes or may install the European Idol in it if he wants. He may make of Qur’an a plaything of interpretation and invent a new Shariah if he wants.’ Pervez destroyed the very grounds for the existence of Pakistan and shattered the theory of Pakistan when he joined the war on terror in which is assaulted his own Muslim people their Muslim neighbours and their supporters and when he massacred the students of the Red Mosque by demolishing it over their heads. Lest we forget dividing Pakistan continues to be a permanent joint Indian American aim and the leadership of the Pakistan army has helped extensively to achieve this goal by launching military operations against the people of Pakistan. As regards the red mosque what did its destruction and the massacre committed within it expose? It exposed the corruption which prevails in the Pakistani military, bureaucracy and political establishment. It was and is a bleeding wound in the conscience of every free, sincere Muslim. Beneath the ruins of the red mosque the theory of Pakistan was buried and the goal of its creation was lost and over the dead bodies of those martyrs. The American Zionist and Indian flags were raised high. The assaults on the red mosque and the tribal areas exposed the ugly anti-Islamic face of the military leadership of Pakistan. In the tribal areas it partially succeeded in concealing the real crimes but in the Red Mosque the bomb’s fumes mixed with the smell of the students’ charred flesh spread to every corner of Pakistan and the massacre was covered by both the local and foreign media. The massacre of the Red Mosque exposed the ugliness and the hypocritical double standards of Western Civilization for had a single church had been attacked and a single American or Briton killed a violent wave of protest would have flared up perhaps ending with Security Council sanctions. But when the Red Mosque is stormed and those inside it are killed and the exact number of victims and even the location of their remains is concealed it is treated as nothing more than a security operation to pacify some fanatics. The massacre at the red mosque by the Rangers, Elite Commandoes, Regular Army and agents of the ISI and Military Intelligence is a disgrace for every officer and soldier in Pakistan. And it provokes a very serious question; is the Pakistani Army defending Islam in Pakistan and South Asia? Or attacking it for the benefit of the Muslim’s enemies? Does it represent the shield of Muslims in Pakistan or is it the criminal heir to the British Indian Army? Pervez has seriously threatened the national security of Pakistan. Pervez is the one who fully supported the Americans in toppling the Islamic emirate in Kabul and replacing it with a regime loyal to India and hostile to Pakistan. TV Reporter interviewing Pervez: Do you believe the Taliban must be defeated? Pervez: Absolutely, 100% As a result of that Indian Intelligence sneaked into the Afghan – Pakistan border region and opened its consulates in the cities adjacent to Pakistan. With the Islamic emirates departure from Kabul the Pakistani loss was two-fold. First it lost the strategic depth which Afghanistan with its high altitude terrain and mountains can afford during any confrontation with India. Secondly the back of the Pakistani army became exposed to a hostile regime loyal to its enemies. And if you add to this the success of India in making use of air bases in Tajikistan and her efforts to expand military cooperation with the Central Asian States the extent of the strategic blunder the Pakistani army committed becomes apparent. Pervez is the one who has put Pakistanis nuclear program in jeopardy by allowing it to fall under American surveillance thus making Pakistan’s national secrets available to Jewish and Indian intelligence. The American accusations against Abdul Qadir Khan were used as an excuse to justify that. Interview between Musharraf and TV Reporter: Musharraf: Today he is a hero of Pakistan because he has given us the atom bomb TV Reporter: You arrested him? Musharraf: Yes TV Reporter: On what charges? Musharraf: Umm (mumbling) – conveying national secrets, uh uh I don’t really remember the charges as such TV Reporter: And then you pardoned him Musharraf: Yes but kept him under house arrest TV Reporter: House arrest? – living a life of splendour, correct? Musharraf: He’s comfortable all right but otherwise now he doesn’t even speak on telephone TV Reporter: Why did he do it you think? Musharraf: the ego, satisfaction and money However is it logical that Abdul Qadir Khan was outside the surveillance of Pakistani intelligence? Whether or not that is really the case the first ones to be tried in the Abdul Qadir khan case should be the high commands of the Pakistan Army and Intelligence with Pervez as their head. But Abdul Qadir Khan was used as a scapegoat to appease the Americans TV Reporter: A Q Khan shipped 2 dozen centrifuges to North Korea and 18 tonnes of material and centrifuges to Libya and Iran. How was all of this material moved without someone in the government or army finding out? Musharraf: Well first of all bringing these centrifuges or their parts. These are not huge elements. They can be put in to your car and moved. TV Reporter: You think he moved 18 tonnes worth of material in his car Musharraf: Uh no no it was not done once and 18 tonnes – I don’t know where this was for Libya I think, ah eh is that correct? TV Reporter: Libya and Iran Musharraf: Yes. They must have been transported many times TV Reporter: But I, we have been to your nuclear facilities enough to know that they are very heavily guarded and the military is all around them Musharraf: Yes, Yes, the military is TV Reporter: These are national security installations Musharraf: Yes TV Reporter: How was all of this stuff gotten out? Musharraf: Ok TV Reporter: It was sent to Iran and Libya Musharraf: What is the military meant for? That is to safe guard them from outside attack TV Reporter: So obviously your internal controls were a little weak Musharraf: No they were not weak, they are very strong TV Reporter: Except for the man who was running the operation Musharraf: Yes of course. He tells this security man, this vehicle has to move to the airport, ok. Put it in a C130 and send it Pervez is the one who has ignited civil war inside Pakistan by indulging in a fruitless bloody struggle in the tribal areas in blind obedience to American orders resulting in catastrophic harm to Pakistan national security. The worst situation any army could possibly imagine is to be responsible for defending its borders even as it is entangled in an internal civil conflict Pakistan’s collective memory has not yet forgotten the dire consequences of the civil war in East Pakistan and every thing that Pervez and his generals have done in Waziristan, Bajaur and Baluchistan they will not hesitate to repeat in Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and any other place the Americans order them to strike. Pervez is the one who has tried to change the combat doctrine of the Pakistani armed forces by repeatedly insisting that the real threat against Pakistan lies within and doesn’t come from outside. Pervez: the enemy is not outside, the enemy is within. We will have to handle the inside enemy That is to say he is urging the Pakistani armed forces to concentrate on fighting their own people and ignore the Indian threat. And when the combat doctrine of any army is corrupted and its service becomes merely for the sake of post and salary this army will without a doubt flee the battle field at any real confrontation. How can the Pakistani officer or soldier be convinced that he is protecting Islam when is has enabled the Americans to kill tens of thousands of Muslims in Afghanistan and helped them to remove the Islamic emirate in Kabul? How can the Pakistani officer or soldier be convinced that he is protecting the honour of the Pakistani people when he is being ordered by his superiors to kill women and children inside his own country? How can the Pakistan officer or soldier be convinced that he is safe guarding the dignity and high repute of Pakistan when he receives orders from his commanders to launch a new massacre with every visit of a senior American official? This Pervez has dealt severe blows to the morale of the Pakistani army twice. The first time was when he ordered it to launch an immoral anti Islam war against its own people as mercenaries under the American flag and the second was when he exposed the army to repeated humiliating defeats at the hands of the brave Islam defending tribal fighters Number 4. Pervez is trying to sell Kashmir at any available price. He stated in March 2004 that he wants to conduct a national dialogue about possible solutions for Kashmir including local autonomy joint Indo-Pak administration and UN supervision! He has strangled the Jihadi resistance to India. He has offered and is still offering repeated concessions in the Kashmir issue whereas India has not retreated a single inch from its obstinate stance. He is trying to mislead the Muslim Ummah in Pakistan by falsely claiming that the problem with India will be solved through confidence building measures in an attempt to end the struggle for the liberation of Kashmir the core issue between India and Pakistan. And he is the one targeting the Arab mujahideen and their brothers from all over the Muslim world who are considered to be one of the most important keys to the liberation of Kashmir just as they played a crucial part in the liberation of Afghanistan before. I wish to stress here the vital fact that the jihad to liberate Kashmir should first be liberated from the ISI because corrupt governments spoil jihad These governments defer to the wishes of the superpowers and no jihad will succeed unless it is freed from the wishes of the enemies of Islam Number 5. Pervez has practically recognised Israel in an attempt to mentally prepare the Pakistani people for the recognition of a non Muslim state in Kashmir Number six. Pervez has insulted and compromised Pakistan’s sovereignty by allowing the CIA and FBI to operate freely in Pakistan and arrest interrogate, torture, deport and detain any person whether Pakistani or not for as long as they like, thus turning the Pakistani army and security agencies into hunting dogs in the contemporary crusade. Pervez: We are fighting first of all Al Qaeeda, lets take al Qaeda. We have arrested or eliminated almost 700 al Qaeeda leaders. Only Pakistan has done it. And lately also whoever has been killed or arrested I challenge who else, which other country has done this? It is no secret that the Americans have exclusive control of many Guantanamo like detention centres on Pakistani soil Number 7. Pervez and his greedy gang have committed all the crimes because of which Pervez claimed he took power so he could save Pakistan from their evils If you were to read his memoirs you would find no single sin of which he accused Benazir and Nawaz which he himself has not committed subsequently. And because Pervez is thirsty for money and a bribe seeker he’s always trying to convince the people of Pakistan to look out only for their own material interests regardless of any Islamic or moral consideration Pervez: What do we want in Afghanistan? We want peace in Afghanistan. Why do we want this? I said before “First comes Pakistan” What’s Pakistan’s interest? Pakistan has the greatest interest in it. When there will be peace in Afghanistan the economy of the central Asian republics that I explained before, their trade, their oil, their gas, all this will come here and go through Pakistan, go through Afghanistan and Pakistan When there will be peace and development in Afghanistan, Pakistan’s foreign exchange will increase. Pakistan’s economy will uplift This is exactly the same logic of drug traffickers, white slavery mafias, spies and traitors Almighty Allah has said “Shaitan threatens you with poverty and enjoins you to be niggardly and Allah promises you forgiveness from Himself and Abundance and Allah is Ample giving, All Knowing But you will see those in whose hearts is a disease hastening towards them saying: we fear lest a calamity should befall us but it may be that Allah will bring the victory or a punishment from Himself so that they shall be regretting on account of what they hid in their souls” Now another ‘Pervez’ namely Pervez Ishfaq Kiyani has taken over the same duties that the old ‘Pervez’ used to perform for the US and accordingly we see him as an equally hostile enemy of Islam Pervez: General Kiyani now takes over from me. He has taken over. I know General Kiyani since the last two decades. He has served under me. I know he is an officer of great professional acumen and quality and I know that he will lead the army as well if not better as I did. I have full faith and trust in him and I have no doubt that the army remains committed to what ever role it is playing in national building and in the protection of the nation. In all of the aforementioned examples we shall be fools if we don’t recognise the American factor in the politics of Pakistan which is virtually ruled from the American Embassy. And now and after all those services provided by Pervez and his greedy gang to the Americans, let us take a look at how the Americans view the Pakistani army and security agencies TV Reporter: What did Armitage say to your Director of Intelligence right after Sept 11. Pervez: The Director of Intelligence told me that he said 'be prepared to be bombed, to be prepared to go back to the stone ages'. TV Reporter: Richard Armitage said that you should be prepared to be bombed back to the stone ages? Pervez: Yes TV Reporter: What was your reaction? Pervez: Huh (chuckling) One has to react, one has to think and take action in the interests of the nation and that’s what I did TV Reporter: Were you insulted? Pervez: Yes, I thought it was a very rude remark Let me remind my brothers and sisters of the cartoon which appeared in the American Press after the arrest of Brother Abu Faraj Al Libbi may Allah (swt) release him soon, showing an American soldier patting a hunting dog and asking him to bring Osama Bin Laden may Allah protect him. The American may like his dog, play with it, feed it, smile at it and maybe even kiss it but after all is said and done it is still a Dog! Let me remind my brothers and sisters that the present army chief Pervez Kiyani was the senior hunter of Abu Faraj Al Libbi may Allah release him soon. That’s the American psychological perception of the Pakistani army and security agencies in spite of all the smiles and compliments In contrast we have solid proof of American alignment with India in their advanced cooperation with it, particularly in the nuclear and high technology fields as well as in military training. “The Parable of those who take guardians besides Allah is as a parable of the spider that makes for itself a house and most surely the frailest of the houses is the spider’s house, if only they knew” “And whoever takes the Shaitan for a guardian rather than Allah he indeed shall suffer a manifest lost. He gives them promises and excites vain desires in them and the Shaitan does not promise them but to deceive them” As regards the second question is any Pakistani serving in such an army or taking part with his government in the contemporary crusade which they call the war on terror a true and sincere Muslim or is he an enemy of Islam violating the very principles of the Qur’an and Sunnah Almighty Allah says “O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and Christians for friends, they are friends of each other and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend then surely he is one of them, surely Allah does not guide the unjust people” Imam Al Tarabi said in his tafsir commenting on this verse “Who ever supports and champions the Jews and Christians against the Muslims becomes a follower of their religion and faith because no one supports someone else unless he is pleased with him and his religion and if he is pleased with him and his religion then he has hated and become hostile to that which opposes him and his status becomes the same as his Imam Al Jassas Al Hanafi commenting on the same verse said “the speech here is directed either to the Mushrikeen (Polytheists) or to the Muslims and that in the latter case it is a notice that you are a kaffir (infidel) like them because of your championing of them” This is why I warn each and every officer and soldier in the Pakistani army and security forces of the grave consequences. Almighty Allah has prepared for those assisting the kafirs against the Muslims and each one of them particularly from the lower ranks should know that Pervez does not care about them at all and is throwing them into the hell of civil war carelessly and is prepared to sacrifice thousands of low ranking personnel in order to guarantee the continuous flow of American bribes. I request each Muslim in Pakistan to remember the glorious history of their noble scholars who resisted fiercely any and all cooperation for the British Indian Army. Sheikh ul Hind Maulana Mehmood ul Hassan said in his fatwa to the students of Aligarh University “you have no choice but to abandon supporting and championing Islam’s enemies whether in practice or in belief and the religious basis of this matter is undeniable and he wrote in his letter to the Jammat-Ulamah meeting of Amristar “the fiercest enemies of Islam and Muslims are the British so it is mandatory to stop supporting them. His student Sayyed Hussain Ahmad Madni (May Allah be pleased with him) stood up in court to say “Joining the British Army helping another to join it or advising him to join and supporting the British Army or giving it loans for war are all haraam. He also said “Mr. Lloyd George during the invasion of Bait-ul-Maqdas named this war a Crusade. Mr. Churchill called it a Crusade. Therefore I declare now in plain and clear words that any Muslim who champions Christianity not only commits a sin but also becomes a kaffir. He also stated that “the second form of killing a Muslim is when a person considers killing Muslims as permissible (Halaal) and does not feel or repent for this act. For example if there is a Muslim Army which says ‘Fighting is our job’ so even if Muslims come in front of us we will fight them, as if raising a sword against a Muslim is no sin; or they say “Our Masters have ordered us to fight Muslims and we are fed by their money so we should obey their orders as if there is nothing wrong in obeying someone’s orders to kill Muslims as long as he keeps feeding you thus in such a condition, it is the agreed upon verdict (ijma) of the entire Ummah that the person committing such an act is surely and verily a Kaffir and has committed the type of kuffar that expels him from the Ummah. His ruling according to the Law of Allah is the same as that of the Kuffar and Mushrikeen both in this world and the hereafter. No Muslim is allowed to consider such a person to be a Muslim or deserving of being dealt with in the manner in which we deal with other Muslims. The third possible form of killing a Muslim is when a Muslim fights alongside Kuffar against other Muslims or aids them in war so that the Kuffar attains success and victory and when a war is waged between Muslims and non Muslims he sides with the kuffar. This form of the said crime embodies the greatest type of Kuffar and transgression and represents such an extreme condition of the death of a person’s belief and annihilation of his Islam that no worse form of infidelity and disbelief can possibly be imagined All the sins, offences and impurities of the world and each and every kind of disobedience which a Muslim can commit in this world or think of committing are nothing when comparing to this crime. Any Muslim who commits this crime surely becomes a Kaffir and is the worst kind of kaffir. He has not only committed the sin of killing a Muslim, but has also aided and strengthened the enemies of the truth in their fight against Islam and there is no doubt that this is such an explicit and definite form of Kufr that it expels a person from the realm of Islam. When Islam in such a condition does not permit keeping merely a relationship of love and affection with the Non–Muslims, how then can someone’s faith and Islam remain intact after giving explicit support to the kuffar in their war against Islam and after directing his weapon towards Muslims. My brothers and Sisters in Pakistan, don’t you notice how the words of Sheikh-ul-Hind Maulana Mehmood al Hassan and his student Sayyed Hussain Ahmad Madni (may Allah bless their souls) describe exactly the behavior of those who are aiding the Americans and British today in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Don’t you see how the Indian armies which were killing Muslims yesterday at the orders of the British are themselves the forces of Pervez which are today killing Muslims in Afghanistan and the tribal areas of Pakistan at the orders of the Americans. Don’t Perez’s forces provide the crusaders with information, bases, airports and even detention and torture centres? Don’t they supply them with food and fuel to kill detain, torture and humiliate Muslims in Pakistan and Afghanistan? Don’t you notice how when Sayyed Hussain Ahmad Madni quoted the statements of past British politicians about their crusade, he was quoting word for word Bush, when he declared his new crusade against Muslims? Isn’t it clear that the Malta detention centre, in which Sheikh-ul-Hind and Sayyed Hussain Ahmad Madni were jailed is comparable to the Guantanamo camp? Isn’t it clear that we are fighting a new battle in an old war? It is the same struggle against the same enemies. The facts are the same, only the names and faces have changed. The king’s viceroy in Delhi has become the American ambassador in Islamabad. The British Indian army has become the American Pakistani Army, the prime minister in London has become the president in Washington and Sayyed Ahmad Shaheed and Shah Ismail Shaheed and their mujahideen are today the mujahideen fighting for the sake of Allah to expel the neo-crusaders from Afghanistan, Pakistan and the entire sub-continent. But the difference is that the Jihadi awakening of today is by the grace of Allah much stronger, wide spread and not limited to the sub-continent and the American crusader empire is facing by the grace of Almighty Allah humiliating defeats in Afghanistan and Iraq and now after this painful description of the degenerating situation in Pakistan the crucial question comes: what to do? First before discussing the answer to this question, I wish to remind every Muslim of the consensus (ijma) of Muslim scholars that when a non Muslim enemy invades a Muslim country, it becomes the individual duty of every Muslim to rise up and resist the invaders by all available means and this duty extends to the other Muslims countries from the nearest to the farthest until the Muslim Ummah is able to expel the invaders from its lands. This is exactly the same fatwas issued by the scholars of Pakistan during the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. So what’s the difference? The Russians have gone but the Americans have come to Pakistan and Afghanistan. So coming back to the answer of the crucial question of what to do? Let me put the answer in a few short, straight forward points: 1. Create awareness. We should first be aware of the real nature of the conflict. We are facing a zio-crusader campaign aided by our corrupt rulers and executed by their hunting dogs; then this awareness must be spread to the whole nation. Although this is the duty of every Muslim in Pakistan it is particularly the duty of the Ullamah in Pakistan. They must explain the facts of the Qur’an in order to encourage the Muslims to resist the crusaders and their agents; and they should revive the glorious history of their ancestors; Shah Abd-ul-Aziz, Syed Ahmad Shaheed, Shah Ismail Shaheed, Shah Abd-ul-Hai and Sheikh-ul-Hind (may Allah be pleased with them all) 2. Don’t kill or help in killing Muslims, nor aid or support killers of Muslims During the Press Conference On Fatwa against Wana Operation 25/03/2004 Hazrat Qazi Abdul Rasheed will elaborate on this subject… We have received a questionnaire from Mr. Mehmood-ul-Hassan and he has asked answers to his questions from our mufti in the light of Qur’an and Sunnah. As an answer of which the mufti of Dar-ul-ifta of Lal Masjid, Mufti Abdul Diyan issued this fatwa that is absolutely according to Qur’an and Sunnah and there is no sort of ambiguity in it what so ever. It is the primary duty upon the ulema to guide Muslims according to the Qur’an and Sunnah, to convey them correct instructions, where and what extent the ruler shall be obeyed. Plain instructions are present regarding this subject where the Qur’an has commanded that obey Allah and his Messenger and those in authority… the commentators have clearly stated here that such obedience will only be observed in good “there shall be no obedience of the Created beings in the disobedience to the Creator and it is related in the Hadeeth that it is unlawful to obey any created being in the disobedience of the Creator… almost all the prominent Dar-ul-Ifta in the country the Jamiat-your-Rasheed in Karachi likewise the Dar-ul-Uloom Haqqania of Akora Khattak the Jamiah Ashrafia and Jamiah Farooqia and the Dar-ul-Ifta of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, thousands of Ulema of the country have approved this fatwa and the attestation with the signatures of hundreds of Muftis has reached us and is present with us. All of them have stated without any disagreement, they are 100% agreed upon the statement that it is against the Qur’an and Sunnah to shower bullets at Muslim brothers and harm them in order to please kuffar or under their pressure or to gain their pleasure this is unlawful Every Soldier and officer should absolutely disobey any order to kill Muslims or aid their killers. I am also asking here anyone who has committed any of those sins to immediately repent and stop serving the devils of our age 3. Join and support the Mujahideen. It is the personal duty of every Muslim in Pakistan to perform jihad against the crusaders invading Afghanistan and Pakistan but if he is unable to do so, he must at the very least support and aid the Mujahideen 4. Examine yourselves. Are you really following and practicing Islam personally socially and politically? Or are you deviating from Islam one way or another? Are you really championing Islam or you are siding with the secular pro western anti Islam forces cooperating with America in its crusade against Islam, the so called war on terror? I know that among you are those who sacrificed their jobs when Pervez decided to support America in its war against the Islamic emirate in October of 2001. And that among you are those who refused to kill their brothers in Waziristan, costing them their jobs but are you really ready to sacrifice everything in Allah’s path or are you wasting your time and efforts in the tiresome shows of the Pakistani political circus Let there be no doubt in your minds that the dominant political forces at work in Pakistan today are competing to appease and please the modern day crusaders in the white house and are working to destabilize this nuclear capable nation under the aegis of America. So don’t allow the fruits of the victory achieved through the sacrifices of the Mujahideen fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq and the tribal belt of Pakistan to be hijacked by the politicians who sat passively while the girls and boys of Jamia Hafsa and the red mosque perished and burned. These are the same politicians who follow the tenets of an alien Western democratic system and judiciary and exploit Islam to fulfill their greedy aims This is why I address here everyone possessing a remnant of intelligence and conscience in the armed forces of Pakistan. Be aware that many among the Muslims continue to hold onto a glimmer of hope that among you are some decent and Allah fearing individuals who refuse to soil their hands with Muslim blood and who don’t agree with the direction Pakistan is being taken in and are prepared to take upon themselves to ensure that the reins of power in Pakistan either remain in the hands of Pervez and his supporters in the army nor in the hands of the present lot of politicians; but are taken over by leaders who believe in implementing the Law of Allah (swt) who believe in legislating and judging according to the laws of Allah (swt) who shun the western democratic system and judiciary; who refuse to be slaves of the Crusaders and Jews and who believe in the command of Allah (swt) “And that you should judge between them by what Allah has revealed and no not follow their desires” and his statement “And it behoves not a believing man and a believing woman that they should have any choice in their matter when Allah and His Apostle have decide a matter; and whoever disobeys Allah And his Apostle he surely strays off a manifest straying” I must warn you however that if you fail to discharge your duty to Islam then Allah (swt) is in need of no one’s help and He the most high will send His sincere soldiers to rule this Ummah of Islam whether you like it or not! “And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones” O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion then Allah will bring a people. He shall love them and they shall love Him lowly before the believers, mighty against the unbelievers. They shall fight in Allah’s way and shall not fear the censure of any censurer. This is Allah’s grace. He gives it to whom he pleases and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing You may be asking yourselves, “What will happen to Pakistan if we support the Mujahideen and confront America?” But rest assured if you rise up against the Taghut then Allah (swt) will give you the power to overcome the might of the Great Taghut, America or He Himself may stop it. Allah (swt) has said to his Prophet pbuh, “Fight them in Allah’s way; this is not imposed on you except in relation to yourself and rouse the believers to ardor (passion, zeal) maybe Allah will restrain the fighting of those who disbelieve and Allah is strongest in prowess and strongest to give an exemplary punishment” And I don’t have to remind you my brothers and sisters of the losses, suffering and casualties of the modern day Crusaders in Afghanistan and Iraq at the hands of the Mujahideen (those who rely on Allah alone) and reject the Hypocritical and subservient tactics of the Pakistani Politicians in the same way they reject the cowardly and greedy miscalculations of the Pakistani Military Junta. Neither freedom, nor justice, nor dignity, nor independence can ever be achieved without the full and proper implementation of Shariah and the expulsion of the neo-Crusaders, their agents and their influence from Pakistan to Afghanistan; otherwise we shall get nothing except the trifles that the prisoners get from their jailer And here I wish to add a few words for the heroes of Pakistan be they well known or unknown; those who have sacrificed and are still sacrificing their lives their property, wealth , homes, posts, jobs and everything they could possibly sacrifice for the glory and victory of Islam. I want to assure thee heroes that their sacrifices are never neglected nor overlooked and I want to remind them of what Almighty Allah said to his prophets Moses and Haroon when they told their God that they were afraid of the excesses and tyranny of Pharaoh: Both said: O our Lord surely we fear that he may hasten to do evil to us or that he may become inordinate. Almighty Allah assured them that they shouldn’t be afraid because He is with them listening and seeing He said: Fear not, surely I am with you both, I do hear and see So these brothers should have full confidence that during every moment of suffering they have passed through Almighty Allah was listening and seeing. He was with them at each and every moment of exhaustion, fear, stress, torture, deprivation, pain, injury and migration listening, seeing and counting for them their good deeds. So they should be sure that they by the grace of Allah (swt) are winning not losing. With their suffering and sacrifices they are pioneering the victory of Islam in Pakistan and following in the footsteps of the Prophets (peace and blessings be upon them all) and their followers (Allah be pleased with all of them) Finally I request every Muslim in Pakistan to ask himself seriously: Does he want Pakistan to truly become Pakistan? Or is he going to stand by idly and passively until it becomes a part of Greater Hindustan? All praise and thanks are due to Allah. And may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his companions in entirety. ________________________________________ Your salvation is only through Jihad, so you must now back the Mujahideen in Afghanistan with your persons, wealth, opinion and expertise, because the Jihad in Afghanistan is the door to salvation for Afghanistan, Pakistan and the rest of the region. Die honourably in the fields of Jihad, and don’t live like women with moustaches and beards. Aren’t there any honourable ones in Pakistan? Aren’t there any jealous ones? Isn’t there anyone who prefers the hereafter to the life of this world? “O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that, when you are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, you cling heavily to the earth? Do you prefer the life of this world to the hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life as compared with the hereafter. Unless you go forth, He will punish you with a painful punishment, and put others in your place.

I agree with Marcia that there are plenty of fake Pakistanis writing their opinions regarding this article. Most of these "fake Pakistanis" are hindus, zionists and others, who want to disseminate false information about Pakistan. Some of these writers are COCKROACHES (english people) also, who want to see Pakistan divided into many parts, just like their own Cockroach Britain, which in the future, will be divided in three parts -- i.e -- Cockroach England, Cockroach Scotland and Cockroach Wales. Cockroach Britain is the biggest terrorist of the world and its division into three smaller parts will bring peace in the world........Anti English .... Cockroach London ..... Cockroach England ....

Pakistan! I swear Pakistan is finished and we all have ourselves to blame!

@AQ....AQ if you go back to the 1970's and study the political situation of Balochistan at the time, you will find that the first revolt in balochistan at the time coincided with the growing Russia's influence in Afghanistan where, similar to these times, the sepratists were trained, funded and given refuge in Afghanistan and many nationalist leaders (some of them are MNA and MPA today) were being support3ed by the KGB and RAW. The plan was to make Balochistan unstable so that Russia can have access to the warm waters of Gawadar, which was the next step after Afghan invasion....which thanks to Allah was foiled by the presence of Zia and his shrewd policies and handling of the situation ...and soon afterwards the whole Balochistan insurgency just fizzled out... This time round, it is the US presence in Afghan and the motives are denying strategic access of Gawadar to China, to tame Pak's Nuclear assets, to counter Iran, and I would not be surprised if Muslim countries liek Dubai may also be involved in this subversion act as Gawadar port has the ability to hit at the commerce of Dubai ports.... In retrospect, Mr Musharraf was playing a very clever game and he was most skillfully steering Pakistan till our own IDIOTS were paid money to do the dirty work..
