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.

15 years long hunt with over 3 trillion $ ends at a disputed claim

US claim of Osama Bin Laden hunt became dubious due to a number of reasons. From common people to media and political representatives there are many voices with different questions about the issue. Along with these the changing statements of US officials regarding the Abbottabad operation have further complicated the issue. Majority of people have accepted the death of Osama due to reason that Al-Qaeda announced his martyrdom after couple of days. 

Osama Bin Laden emerged as a symbol of struggle and Jihad against the exploitative systems in the world. It is bad luck of America that Bin Laden ideology has got its roots inside the hearts and minds of vast majority of Muslims all over the world. Muslim youth got a real alternate of Che Guevara that may be even more problematic than a hidden Bin Laden of past.

Nationalism or Islam, Nation or Ummah, have to make a choice

During my Childhood
Like any other Pakistani boy i grew up with strong lessons and slogans of nationalism in my course books, TV, newspapers and schools. We were used to put CRUSH INDIA badges on shirts. India was primary enemy of Pakistani nation and Islam. Kashmir was burning issue and Govts were used to exploit the sentiments of people over Kashmir as it was national as well as Islamic matter. Israel was always unanimously cursed by all segments of society. Later my nation got engaged with Russia in Afghanistan. Even then it was OK as Russia was a threat to Pakistan and Islam as well. Those were very good old days.

Middle phase came
Then there were some matters where i like other common people was disturbed by US attacks on Iraq. I was not satisfied by Govt stance on these issue. Collation forces captured the major resources and sensitive points of Arab world (till today). Any how it was still not a threat to nationalism ideology as Pakistan was not involved in any of collation activities there.

Along with that Ex-Jihadi groups appear with war slogans against US and west. Osama Bin Laden declared war on America from Khost. US navy targeted that camp through cruise missiles by violating Pakistan's air space. It was a clear response of USA for Osama's declaration. Till here nationalism did not confronted the Ummah or Islam.

9/11 also destroyed my ideology
Then time came when Al-Qaeda launched attacks on USA on Sept 11 2001 and US president called for a clear distinction of friend and enemy. He rejected the option to stay neutral. Pakistan at that time was under the rule of dictator Gen. Musharraf. Due to extreme strategic importance and Afghan connections US leadership asked the dictator to assist the collation forces for culmination of Taliban regime and Al-Qaeda activists. For whatever reason dictator stood on the collation side and offered every type of support to US lead forces from 35 countries of the world.

USA brutally carpet bombed Afghanistan with ferocious weapons. Pakistan on his side captured the great Arab mujahedin and sold to USA. Several ex-jihadi individuals were killed at the spot without even a single crime on their record against the state of Pakistan. Even women were sold as later came the case of Dr. Aafia Sidiqui. Here i did not find any way to satisfy my nationalism and Islamic ideology both at the same time. Along with twin towers 9/11 also destroyed my innocent and very firm bond of nationalism and Islamic ideology.

Dictator Gen. Musharraf grasped this reality very much and introduced the attractive but mean slogans like "Sab say pehlay Pakistan". And crushed every local/international individual/organization with some aim to apply Islam in society.

National Security set ups
Almost a decade has past after 9/11. Pakistan is bound to wage a war that is against the mujahideen of Islam. During this process we have created more enemies and less friends. Intelligence Agencies and national security set ups are extremely patriot without any doubt but they are totally failed to justify their actions according to Islamic perspective. This situation leaves no way to opt either nationalism or Islam. Or in other words opt nation or Umma.

Main Concern
The main concern is how could we put nationalism and Islamic bond back same as it was before and what should be done to make sure that in future nationalism and Islam would not be mutually exclusive?

Predictions/prophecies of Shah Nemat-Ullah Wali

Shah Nemat-Ullah Wali was a sufi poet of about 13th century AD (547 A.H). He is famous for his poem related to future predictions of wars and international affairs. His poems got published in 19th century. Since then people take interest to know and evaluate his prophecies. Most of predictions and prophecies are about wars and international affairs. Many people think that his predictions were remarkably proven true. I have read the translated poem and found it interesting. Original poem is in Persian (Farsi). Here is the English translation of poem with predictions of Shah Nemat-Ullah Wali.

• The old tale comes to an end and i now turn towards India and unveil the events of coming millennium. 
• Mughal emperors would rule but it would be a cruel rule.
• They would be indulged in luxuaries and comfort, and would quit the hard and warriors like life.
• Government would be lost by them and it would be in hands of others.
• After that there would be war among Russia and Japan. In which Japan would get victory and Russia would be defeated.
• After end of war they would establish separate borders. There would be peace agreement it would be a hypocrite agreement.

Monkeys got the match-box

Monkeys got the match-box and now they can burn any thing that they want. In fact this example very much resembles the Anchors of Pakistani TV channels. Of course exceptions are there, so except a couple of competent hosts/anchors, all others are terribly misguiding the nation by managing and leading the debates on very very sensitive issues. They have their agendas and loyalties. And they are major cause of increasing the gaps among different groups of society.
Recently this reality became very much obvious when majority of anchors/hosts were busy in ill prepared programs on blasphemous law issues. On the other hand some are constantly busy in criticizing every political act either on Government or opposition side. Criticism for the sake of criticism.
Hardly one can find a program that serves a single of following

• Leading the masses towards better political political sense
• Increasing general knowledge of students/learners
• Unveiling the corruption cases
• Backing any harmony effort on political scenario

Majority of programs serve any of following purposes

• Raising pessimism among the nation
• Sabotage any effort/chance of political harmony
• Presenting the evils of society as heroes
• Highlighting the views of irrelevant ones on a topic
• Posing too much consciousness on freedom of expression

So what to do?
Solution may be that never watch any current affairs program with total dependence on host/anchor. Watch it with critical mind and take care that host/anchor is not imposing his own views. Also keep in mind that the any guest person commenting on an issue is capable, relevant and worthy of that particular topic.

Islamic index launched in Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)

Bombay Stock Exchange has launched Islamic index. Main objective is to provide a suitable environment for Muslims who are hesitant of using normal stock exchange activities due to certain religious concerns. These concerns are related to nature of company where investment is going to take place. Also interest based activities are strictly prohibited in Islamic Sharia.

It is very positive and should be appreciated that in economic filed, Indian business community have acted professionally without any religious bias.

Surprisingly, i became a little bit disturbed by reading this news. The reason was that we got a separate country by chanting slogans of Islam and now we are without any Islamic ideology. Instantly i Googled for any clue of Islamic index in Pakistani stock exchanges. And i found that The Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) and Al-Meezan Investment Management Limited (Al Meezan Investments) launched the Pakistan’s first co-branded Islamic Index, KSE-Meezan Index (KMI).

To bridge the gaps among religious and less religious classes in Pakistan, Government and private sectors should try to come close by such steps in every filed of life.

No wikileaks about Israel, Really?

I have heard many people saying that unlike many other countries there are no wikileaks about Israel. And with same mind most of people declare the wikileaks as a conspiracy by US Govt itself. Am so sick of these conspiracy theories. ): Even one of leading columnist in his recent column mentioned the same point and at the end declared the leaks as conspiracy of US Govt to develop a new strategy of diplomacy around the world.

I think such issues are not so simple as people give authoritative view on same. If you discuss this issue with people around you (as Pakistani folk is eager to discuss such topics) or read columns/articles in newspapers you may get a funny vision that Obama administration and Pentagon high ups are sitting together and approve the plan to reveal truth about their spy type diplomacy in form of wikileaks. It is ridiculous to think so.

Back to main point, today i have captured a snap on Google.com with results of term "wikileaks Israel". Google is showing lot of results on web and in news. So leaks are there about Israel also and these are serious. So there is no reality to say that there are no wikileaks about Israel.

You can try it yourself.

Why collation forces are loosing Afghanistan

War critics and observers are astonished by tilting power balance towards Taliban side. Major part of world war power is engaged in Afghanistan along with their state of art and sophisticated weaponry. Elite intelligence mechanism is supporting the forces. On the other side there is nothing and no one on Taliban side. Their close allies like Pakistan have refused to be with them in war of terror.

Only foreign power is few hundred (as mentioned in American congress) strength of Al-Qaida. So the million dollars question is that why Taliban are gaining grounds and collation forces are looking for grace full escape.

A part of answer lies in following two pictures of Afghan and collation forces.

Hazara Province demand and agitation

Hazara province demand occurred just after presentation of 18th amendment by constitutional committee. And it was relatively less projected as long as at least 13 people were killed and several got bullet injuries by brutal police firing on public protest. There was a lot of anger and voilent sentiments against loss of lives. Dormant leadership of Hazara came on scene without any clear goal and motive in mind. They were just following the vast majority of people.

How not to fight the US

DEVIATING somewhat from his usual mantra — that fighting terrorism is in Pakistan’s own interest — President Bush recently laid the ‘responsibility’ of fighting terrorism at Pakistan’s doorstep. This raises questions about the terms on which Pakistan joined the war.

In democracies, such questions are decided in parliament. But unfortunately, in Pakistan, most wars have been fought under one or the other military ruler. The decision to join the current war was also taken by Gen Musharraf on the spur of moment. Since then a pall of secrecy has surrounded the terms of engagement. The official line is that Pakistan joined the war in its own interest. In reality, the war was godsend for Gen Musharraf especially when Pakistan was dubbed as America’s ‘non-Nato ally’ in the war.
