Media manipulation and predation of Forward Operating Base Salerno

In June 2012 Taliban launched an attack on FOB Salerno in southeastern Afghanistan. ISAF authorities there declared it a failed effort. They also claimed that couple of soldiers got minor injuries and effort was foiled by killing number of Taliban invaders. Media giants like BBC, CNN and Algazeera simply second the authorities views. 

Surprisingly withing days Taliban shared a full fledged video of preparation and execution of operation. About a dozen Taliban fighters executed the operation after days of preparation. And about 10 tons of explosive material was used for initial explosion. It is more than any heavy weight daisy cutter bomb used by US against Taliban. Later the fighters entered and predated the camp along with number of ISAF soldiers casualties. 

Taliban did a great job by executing as well as recording the operation. With some delayed release of video they were able to expose the hypocrisy and misleading statements of ISAF as well as biased media. 

Cheer fever in Pakistan

Cheerleaders were introduced in western countries for fascinating the audience of any game. Behind it was same exploiter business mind who always use the females as a product to gain attraction and involvement. Any how may be it was not too much conflicting with the western culture.

Then we observed this mean trend recently in UAE and Indian play grounds. Again investors used the young girls for attracting and fascinating the audience. But it was very very shocking for me to have same trend in play grounds of Pakistan. A country whose culture and values do not permit this shameful act. Rather it is a social crime to perform such foolish and mean acts here.

Like ever media also promoted it as a social progress and such performances are a clear message of high jacking the culture and views of Pakistani masses.

I request every Pakistani blogger and online community to condemn cheer fever in Pakistan, else it is going to be more devastating than Dengue fever. I repeat C fever could be more devastating than D fever.

CM Punjab should take care of it also as it is being injected in Pakistan through Punjab play grounds.

Concerts in educational institutes

Few days back Punjab Assembly passed a resolution and banned the music concerts in its educational institutes. Apparently it was aftermath of incident in Atif Aslam's concert, which claimed three lives and left several injured. This specific concert was organized by Punjab Group of Colleges at Al-Hamra Cultural Complex. Any how keeping in view the trends associated with majority of Pakistani citizens, no major campaign was being expected against this resolution. One can easily find that an over whelming portion of middle class does not like such music activities for their children.
However i was astonished to watch the wind that various channels propagated against this resolution. Anchors and news persons immediately took some music related personalities online. Obviously music related personalities condemn the Punjab Govt act and declared it very harmful for peaceful society. Few politicians were also taken online and were badly depressed by media persons.
No one bothered to consult the public opinion or religious concerns. Media made his move and it was successfully deceived that Punjab Assembly banned the cultural activities and performed a very harmful act against social liberties.
Politicians became very much under pressure and another resolution was passed rejecting their prior view. It is a very shameful act of Pakistani media that they misguided the law makers against the public opinion. If there should be concerts in educational institutes then why not in hospitals, parliament, courts, prisons, nuclear installations, GHQ, air bases, naval fleets and even in homes. If it is our culture then let it flourish every where.
In fact it is part of an effort to impose and insert the music in our culture. Such music is not culture of people of Pakistan. It may culture of a minority that is being imposed on whole nation. 

Then What?

Magic of Imran Khan and Tehreek-e-Insaf is high and prevailed now a days. Student circles look dominant with PTI supporters and those who are not fully convinced are excited to test it in coming time. Palmist and predictioners willingly or unwillingly paved the grounds for PTI popularity. Such personalities along with columnists and media persons are continuously issuing statements about near future elite status of Pakistan. They are predicting about a new leadership allied with some very honest and trust worthy team and together they would take the Pakistan to a new era of success and honor in the world. Such prophecies are backed with  prophecies by famous saints of past. 

I am an optimistic individual and like every one i turn to such prophecies and predictions that are related to a happy and honorable Pakistan. However i have some solid views that are required to be satisfied. 

As long as Imran Khan is concerned, let us assume he may be like many other leaders who came in our country in past and were very loyal to Pakistan. We can start by Quaid-e-Azam himself then Liaqat Ali Khan, ZA Bhutto, Asghar Khan and may be some others. All these that i mentioned were true leaders and were very loyal to Pakistan but no one was able to lead our country out of where we are in today. 

In case of Imran Khan, the morally and financially corrupt team around him is not capable of leading the Pakistan to a better future. His prominent corrupt team members are Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Khurshid Mehmood Qasuri and a famous singer and corrupt social worker Abrar ul Haq. Who the hell these people are who claim to lead our honorable nation? And even if Khan successfully filters out the sub standard members of his team even then he would not allowed to act freely in satanic democratic system. He would get indulged in complicated rules of bureaucracy and number games of politics. And last option is always there to eliminate him from the scene like other leaders those i mentioned above.

So i think the real concern should be change of system rather than change of faces. The satanic, corrupt and exploitery system of democracy should be thrown out of Pakistan and a system should be configured which should strictly follow the frame work of Islam. This is our only way out and those who work for it would lead the Pakistan to her elite destiny.

Dead by drone and martyrs of crusader coalition

While US/NATO has predated couple of posts leaving dead dozen of front line state soldiers, every one in Pakistan is now talking about martyrdom, sovereignty, justice, honor and other terms like these. Pakistan army awarded the dead soldiers with lofty title of Shaheed, as this title is reserved for Pakistan Army soldiers by the Almighty. And no matter how much they are involved in assisting the modern oily crusaders, every of their dead soldier is ready made Shaheed.

Propaganda and deception has mesmerized the whole Umma in general and Pakistan in particular. The reality is that as long as Pakistan is an ally in war on terror, Pakistan security forces are as condemnable as NATO and US army that are involved in plundering and looting of whole muslim world. Dead ones of Pakistan security operators may be called Shaheed in nationalistic sense but they can never be declared Shaheed as an Islamic title.

As in case of Salala check post, the dead ones are an example of losers in this world and here after. Here they have lost their lives in a far away area while being ally of crusaders, and here after they would be deal with those who assisted the armies against muslims and muslim countries.

Saving country, nuclear assets or other lame excuses like these are not acceptable before the Almighty Lord. His orders are clear, when there is exam, choose your side.

In deed those who have denied the obedience of all but Allah are true in their faith and they would be rewarded for this by Allah.

Tracing the Haqqani Network

The disputed and dangerous Haqqani Group is unleashed now. Amazingly it was not settled in tribal belt as always narrated but found in elite circles of power connecting Islamabad and Washington. The bad boys were very near to national security setups than ever expected. Every one was convinced to eliminate Haqqani Network if it was the case of a tribal warrior. But in case of a elite conspirator only resignation is enough. In fact Hussain Haqani and many others like him are state enemies, they have nothing to do with national interests of Pakistan.

But his resignation refreshes many other occasions in my mind when resignations were due but not processed. None of military establishment took responsibility of any of their incompetence during past and near past. Haqqani resignation once again highlights the military dominance in Pakistan.

A great Quraanic project, Tanzil

Tanzil is a Quranic project launched in early 2007 to produce a highly verified Unicode Quran text to be used in Quranic websites and applications. Mission of this project is to provide accurate Unicode text of holy Quraan for onward use on web.

Along with this mission they have provided excellent interface for browsing, searching, translating and listening of holy Quraan.

It is a much appreciable effort and we should utilize it and join hands with this team to serve this noble cause. Just click here to visit the project website.

Leadership required! a tranquilizer and a myth

Our country Pakistan is facing a number of challenges and problems in almost every field. A nation whose majority is not loyal to Islam, humanity and law. It is effect of various factors that operated here for a long time. And the remaining is covered by corrupt politicians along with civil and military establishment.

People are now in a state of pessimism about almost whole current political leadership. Often i hear views which show that majority of people consider the lack of leadership as main problem and they think that without a real and bold leadership nothing could be made better.

In fact it is a misconception and is being planted by media intentionally or unintentionally. In near history we have experienced a very successful movement which is known as lawyers movement. This movement has very profound effects on politics and democratic system of country. Following are some of these effects

• CJ Pakistan along with other judges was reinstalled 
• Played role in demolishing of Musharraf dictatorship
• Strengthened the democratic system
• Strengthened the supreme court for major decisions

These along with many other are the achievements and effects of lawyers movement. If we analyze the movement from its start, we have following important observations.

• Lawyers movement was not planned
• CJ was not a leader even not a well known public figure
• There were no campaigns to pull out the common people from their homes in to protests and gatherings
• No leaders were nominated, few determined lawyers came forward without and external influence

What we learn

This shows that leadership is not pre-requisite for any positive change. Leadership emerges automatically and it may be not well known to masses. So we should come out of dormancy and should believe that leadership would be there naturally whenever public would be mobilized.

Istikhara for every decision

Allah almighty has provided us Islam as complete way of life. Many times we are confused with available options. In such conditions Prophet peace be upon him guided to perform Istikhara for seeking guideline and blessings of Allah in that particular matter. So whenever you are confused with your options just offer 2 raka prayer and read following Dua with darood shareef. Allah would guide you to right option.

Once you have performed Istikhara, no specific dreams and cautions are required for guideline. Right option would emerge automatically and it would become easy for you. So after Istikhara your duty is over and there is no need to indulge in dreams and signs about it. Allah almighty would guide you to right option once you have asked Him for His favor in your issue.
