let no one believe that even a clever operator like chalabi could fool the US establishment on fake WMD. they wanted to invade iraq and chalabi was just a convenient "dissident" face to use as a hook at the time. all this falling out was probably a deal for him to take his cut and retire, while gotus got to rule iraq and laugh off the WMD thing as a fabrication by unreliable sources.

did Obama ever dare to question the whole premise? of course not.

Woman Raped for Leaving Islam

Attacked by her own family, one Muslim’s decision to convert to Christianity highlights the precarious situation of Muslims in Pakistan who leave their faith.

Sehar Muhammad Shafi, 24, has fled her home city of Karachi with her husband and two young daughters after being attacked and raped for changing her faith.

In 1999, Shafi began work for a medical company, Glaxo Wellcome plc, where she focused her energy on proselytizing a co-worker, a Christian named Naveed Paul. Paul had an interest in apologetics and engaged Shafi in religious discussions, inviting her to church with him.

Four years later, Shafi decided to become a Christian, and a local pastor secretly baptized her. “I had shared Islam with [Paul] and wanted to convert him, but instead I realized that my life was empty without Jesus,” Shafi said
Shafi’s family was not aware of her conversion, but sometimes they would beat her when they found her singing Psalms to herself. Once they ripped up a Bible they discovered her reading

Pakistani military hits out over abuse allegations
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne ... tions.html

Last week, Human Rights Watch published its annual global review, which delivered a withering account of problems in Pakistan. It accused the government of failing to act against abuses by the security and intelligence agencies, which have rounded up thousands of Taliban suspects.
At the same time, the report said there was a widespread perception that state authorities turned a blind eye to attacks on the persecuted Shia minority and called for the government to investigate allegations of collusion between Sunni militant groups, military intelligence, and paramilitary forces.

“Pakistan’s human rights crisis worsened markedly in 2012 with religious minorities bearing the brunt of killings and repression,” said Ali Dayan Hasan, Pakistan director at Human Rights Watch.

“While the military continued to perpetrate abuses with impunity in Baluchistan and beyond, Sunni extremists killed hundreds of Shia Muslims and the Taliban attacked schools, students, and teachers.”

Islam is a religion of peace. Islam respects all religions. Even Quran says Jesus, Abraham etc are prophets of the book and Muhammed is just their descendant. Islam doesnt support violence or rape. Even killing one human being is same as killing the whole humanity.

This is a propaganda to defame islam and muslims.

P.s: Muslims have a right to behead anyone who insults islam and muslims.

Green on Green Intra-Mohammadden violence by way of a demonstration of the IEDology of Pakistan results in the Ununiformed Jihadi’s killing two Uniformed Jihadi’s of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan:

Must be pretty confusing to belong to an Army whose motto touts “Jihad in the Path of Allah” or in Urdu “jihad fi sabilillah” and then get killed by others also claiming to wage Jihad:

Two soldiers killed in Orakzai IED blast

No wonder as Anujan had said it has become jihad-e- fistula or Pain-inda-butt.


In an Islamist state the slogan "Islam khatre me hain" or Islam is in danger leads to green on green violence as the kafirs and dhimmis are already expelled or killed.
In the limit, to use calculus lingo, the color will tend to dark green.


Western Europe also was like that and led to the Nazi Holocaust.
Before that they had a millenium of warfare (from fall of Rome ~450AD to Treaty of Westphalia 1648) disguised as assertion of states hegemony or dynastic swell and ebb.

The color of Islam actually is not Green. It is Black. It was the Black flag that Mohammed brandished when he went on loot campaigns. The Taliban rightly wear the black turban. Green was the color of the dome of the Al Aqsa church converted to mosque. The color green was appropriated just as the direction of praying changed..

70 Lashkar informers tailing Indian army

Currently according to a report by the Intelligence Bureau, there are at least 70 persons working on the border areas who facilitate infiltrations into India. Not only do these persons help Lashkar operatives cross over into India, but also provide with crucial logistics about the Indian army. These persons provide crucial details about the movement of the Indian forces which not only helps the Lashkar but also the Pakistan army make its moves.

For the recent operation, the Lashkar had hired a person by the name Ismail Langda to carry out this operation and he was paid a sum of Rs 5 lakh for the same. An intelligence bureau report states that these persons who are hired for the job are locals and their job is to provide information on the security agencies in India. They are hired on a salary of Rs 40000 per month and a special amount is paid on successful completion of an operation.

They are first chosen by head hunters of these terrorist groups and later sent to Saudi Arabia or Pakistan where they undergo training. For the first couple of months of being sent into the operation, they just settle into the place and get themselves acclimatised with the areas and also the operations of the Indian forces. They are strictly informed not to use telephones or emails to communicate information. All the information that is passed on is through word of mouth for which they have a fixed set of moles, the report states.

Pir Xerox Khan Vs Pir Qadri Khan, Bring in More Islam
( Buffoon Vs Raccoon in Half Moon )

The latest symptom of this illness was seen in the drama enacted on the streets of Islamabad by a foreign national from Canada. He captivated the nation for 72 hours by his show, thanks to the full backing of powerful financers and the pervasive media. The way thousands of men, women and children were kept hostage to a self-styled pir reminds me of an incident.In the 1960s, the late Pir of Pagaro, Syed Ali Mardan Shah, a great patriot and a dear friend of mine, was sitting in the Haram at Makkah. Maulana Zafar Ahmad Ansari, a veteran leader of the Pakistan Movement, was sitting with him. As usual, pilgrims were performing Tawaf. One Pir from Rawalpindi, who was known for his connections to the rulers of the time, was also in that crowd. Suddenly he discontinued his Tawaf and started making the motions of embracing someone. When Pir Pagaro saw this, he became extremely serious. He summoned the Pir in a strong, angry tone, who immediately came. “What on earth were you doing? Pir Pagaro asked. “I was embracing the Prophet,” the Pir explained. Hearing these words, Pir Sahib turned red with fury and grabbed him by the collar. “How dare you say that? Have you gone out of your mind? Is there any shame left in you? Are you totally without fear of God? You have the cheek to enact this drama here, in front of the House of Allah?”Maulana Ansari became alarmed at the situation. The Pir was left speechless. Pir Pagaro did not loosen his grip. Addressing Maulana Ansari, he said: “Maulana, I am going to kill this man here and now if he does not repent and promise not to do this again.” It was upon Maulana Ansari’s intervention that the problem was solved. The Pir of Rawalpindi sincerely apologised to the two gentlemen, solemnly promising not to indulge in such farce again in his life, inside or outside the H

Covering up the truth
by Asif Ezdi

The ‘revelations’ made in recent weeks by retired lieutenant general Shahid Aziz on the Pakistan Army’s involvement in the Kargil war of 1999 have added little to our knowledge of those events

Musharraf has predictably denied any responsibility for the fiasco and denigrated Aziz, a former confidante, as a “characterlessCharitraheen” person.

Following Aziz’s allegations, Musharraf has again claimed that the Kargil operation was a “big success militarily,” and that if Nawaz Sharif had not sought US diplomatic intervention, Pakistan would have “conquered” 300 square miles of Indian-held territory in Kashmir.

According to Ziauddin, Musharraf had actually pleaded with Nawaz to find a diplomatic way to enable the army to extricate itself from the imbroglio in which Musharraf had pushed it.

the Indians “overreacted” to Pakistan’s occupation of the Kargil heights by bringing into action their air force, four divisions and a heavy concentration of artillery and resorting to “mass attacks” to dislodge our troops.

Opposition leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali also claimed last week that he possessed evidence to prove that Musharraf withheld information about the operation from Nawaz.

The country is still feeling the negative impact of the reckless adventurism of Musharraf and his co-conspirators, and their lust for power.

An inquiry into Kargil is necessary

A handful of top generals drew up a foolhardy plan of operations on the basis of mistaken assumptions and were able to put it into action without let or hindrance, in the process bringing the country to the brink of full-scale war.

Inquiry commissions have mostly been set up in Pakistan not to find the truth but to cover it up, especially when top leaders or the military establishment are suspected of being involved.

AoA. Watch for more skeletons coming out of the closet.

India must compromise — Hussa- in Ghuussa

Ik Poaqer dekho Nyara,Ik Poakee dekho Nyarra. Aqal Ka Maara , Rovee yeh Becharra,Haath Pakro Tum Hamara,Phatt Jayega Gubaara

e

In one of my recent articles on Kashmir that I wrote right before the entire Line of Control (LoC) debacle between India and Pakistan, I mentioned how India was not doing enough, and did not appear to be serious in striking peace with Pakistan, and all for a good reason. Peace with Pakistan means stability in Pakistan, as Pakistan has more at stake with India in having peace, and that might not be in the best interest of India at the moment. Looking from a geopolitical perspective, India would rather let Pakistan bleed a little more before striking a peace deal so as to bring Pakistan to a weaker bargaining position. The entire LoC event seems to have proved my basic point, and that is the fact that India, and especially its radical media, is not prepared for peace with Pakistan and is going the extra mile to delegitimise the country at international forums. On the other hand, Pakistan is going out of its way, at times appearing desperate, for cordial relations with India. While we tend to criticise the government of Pakistan and the army for manipulating history and instigating propaganda against India, we ignore how Indians have done the same in their country, hence making it difficult for the Indian public to change their perception about Pakistan, especially after events like Mumbai 2008, and the recent clash on the LoC. Two wrongs do not make a right indeed, but the credit goes to our public, politicians, and media for at least being on a welcoming foot with our Indian visitors, especially with the cricket team, musicians, and actors.

While I am a big fan of India and dream of the of the day when I could randomly get in my car in Lahore and drive to Amritsar for food.but unfortunately, watching the sensationalist and radical Indian media, and how the Indian government sent the Pakistani musicians and sporting teams packing home is a serious disappointment. It makes one question whether India is really an open society as it projects itself in the media and the movies or whether beneath this thin layer of liberalism, openness and tolerance is a volcano of hate and prejudice against Pakistan, especially at a time when Pakistan is open for dialogue. Pakistan might mix religion with politics every now and then, but across the border in India whether it is sports, music, or entertainment, they like to mix everything with politics too.Also, Dr Yaqoob Bangash, an assistant professor of History at the FC College in Lahore, who recently wrote a piece on Kashmir claiming that an average Pakistani would rather work in India than be bothered about Kashmir, has reportedly been harassed at Jaipur by Indian immigration officials. What is dangerous is when people like Dr Bangash, who have a positive stance about India, get a reality check, the entire peace ream fades away into a mere rhetorical fantasy. It has begun to appear, especially looking at how the Indians and their media has reacted to the LoC event, that India is as fixated, if not more, on Pakistan, as we in Pakistan believe that our army is obsessed with India — something that needs to stop.I have repeatedly voiced my opinion, especially for the ears of Indian policymakers, that there can be no peace in the region without India compromising as a big brother. In basic conflict resolution theory, the bigger power has to, and it should make more concessions to appease the smaller and weaker party, which is insecure. The route to peace in the region that India is taking by systematically bleeding and delegitimising Pakistan will only prove to be disastrous for the region. More instability in Pakistan means instability in India under the domino effect. India perhaps does not realise that it might be making the same mistake that Pakistan made in Afghanistan under its ‘strategic depth’ policy.

It is about time India take the wool of arrogance off its eyes, and end its obsession with Pakistan. Moreover, the Indian media needs to act in a more responsible and a mature way to allow peace to survive between the two countries. But looking from the Indian point of view, as much as the Pakistan army needs the fear of India to perpetuate its purpose of existence, the hawks in India need the fear of Pakistan to keep its public busy away from the real issues of inequality, poverty, and injustice that are slowly rusting the image of Indian prowess in the world.

Modi and a pluralistic democracySau mera Raw shidh

Modi uncompromising Prophet. Djinna Kaa Baccha; Baat Karre Sasta. Tu Hain Kaun, Kisne Tummhe Bulaya. India Ke Affairs Mey, Tuu Kya Lagta hai Taya?

India was envisioned by its founding fathers as a pluralistic democracy, which would reflect the cultural, political, and religious aspirations of its diverse communities. The political vision of its founders was democratic and inclusive, but their economic vision was socialist; the former has seen an uninterrupted progress but the latter suffered rough jolts with the demise of communism and the sluggish pace of the Indian economy. In the early 1990s, the political leadership began fiddling with laissez faire economics and introduced a flurry of reforms to liberalise markets. Consequently, liberalisation of the economy has lifted millions of Indians from poverty and vaulted India onto the world stage as a leading economic power. Opening up of the markets has also created an assertive and vibrant middle class that is demanding accountability, transparency and meritocracy, and leaders like Anna Hazare and Arwind Kejriwal are spearheading the new reforms movements .As the clamour for good governance grows, Elections 2014 could posit new dilemmas and opportunities for the Indian electorate. Mr Narendra Modi, the thrice-elected chief minister of Gujarat, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, is being projected as the next prime minister of India in the Indian media. He was the top pick for the candidature of prime minister in an opinion poll conducted by India Today Group-ORG in 2012. A majority of respondents voted for him while Rahul Gandhi, the scion of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, lagged far behind him in the poll.
What could be the reason for Modi’s popularity? First, his governance and administrative capabilities are impeccable, as shown by the dazzling growth statistics of Gujarat. Its economy has grown at an average of 10 percent each year for a decade, which equals the growth rate of China. Agricultural growth has increased by an average of 10.97 percent per annum, the highest in India. Gujarat is the only place in the whole country where industrial units, commercial businesses and farmers can get uninterrupted electricity for nearly 24 hours a day.Secondly, Modi’s reputation has not been tainted with any corruption scandal. Compared to him, the Congress leaders are mired to their knees in corruption. Therefore, he comes across as a committed and dedicated leader.nd third, Modi has charisma and star quality. Possessing excellent oratorical skills, he turns his rallies into interactive sessions where the leader and the masses are engaged in verbal sallies, lampooning and ridiculing political opponents that range from Sonia behn to Rs 500 million girlfriend-turned-wife of the Union Minister, Shashi Tharoor.That said, Modi has a dark side too — his alleged complicity in igniting the Muslim pogrom in Gujarat in 2002. As a chief minister, his decision of allowing Hindu nationalists to parade the bodies of victims who perished in the Godhra train fire; his public statement that violence was ‘a spontaneous reaction of the Hindus’; and that refugee camps, which housed thousands of Muslims displaced by riots, ‘as baby-making factories’ reflected callousness, insensitivity and partisanship. To the discomfort of Indian Muslims, so far Modi has not shown any remorse for the worst-ever communal riots to hit Gujarat since independence.Notwithstanding this taint of communal partisanship, corporate India and the educated Hindu middle classes support Modi because he appears as their best bet to deliver the goals of free market reforms, better administration and transparency.So a question arises: could political pluralism, with its emphasis on affirmative action, different civil codes and quotas, be reconciled with economic entrepreneurship and efficiency?but any society is also a consumer of intangible goods — freedom of speech, freedom of expression and free exercise of cultural and religious rights. Thus, if a member in any diverse society cannot criticise a political leader, or protest through peaceful assembly or practise his religious faith freely, then denial of these rights would rend apart that society and even a good pace of economic productivity would never glue together different segments of that society.
Turning a page from history, let us take the example of Adolf Hitler. Hitler was not a dishonest person but a fraudulent leader because he showed his people a false dream: Germany could become a great power by excluding other groups from its political, social and economic order. Under his rule, Germany made tremendous industrial progress and recovered more quickly than any other war-ravaged country, but his parochial vision and political exclusivity eventually reduced it to rubble again.Having said that, in the coming months, as the political parties of India fine-tune their manifestoes and shortlist prime ministerial candidates, the Indian electorate must watch for a party and a candidate that promises to provide good governance along with inclusive political partnership.

Conspiracy Theory: Some want Pakistan cricket isolated, says PCB

Without elaborating who these people were who wanted to keep Pakistan cricket isolated internationally, Zaka Ashraf said arrangements for the Super League were continuing at full steam.

momeen does not need to elaborate anything

PCB chairman, Zaka Ashraf believes there are elements who don't want to see the revival of international cricket in Pakistan and neither do they want the Super League Twenty20 tournament to be held on time.

"I am aware there is a conspiracy to keep Pakistan isolated in the cricket world. But we have not given up hope and we are confident we can organize the super league T20 and also this will lead to revival of international cricket in Pakistan," Ashraf said on a television channel.

[Brad Goodman]

some good news. Finally I might see the paki rupee soaring to new heights against USD. May be we see the 100 mark soon

Pakistan trudges a risky economic path

A RECENTLY released State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) report reveals that Pakistan's total debit liability has risen to 15.2 trillion rupees (S$192.5 billion). At 68.4 per cent of Pakistan's gross domestic product (GDP), this is "unsustainable". Two years ago, it was 56.7 per cent. Under the law, the debt should not exceed 60 per cent of GDP.

The debt burden is ballooning due to the uncontrolled federal budget deficit, excessive borrowings, and rupee depreciation. With election year spending, the deficit is set to increase during the current financial year ending June.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) team that visited Pakistan recently on post programme evaluation considered this deficit level to be "too high", which can only be sustained by countries that enjoy greater access to financial markets and can borrow easily. Pakistan, on the contrary, has been unsuccessfully trying to float US$500 million worth of euro bonds for the last three years.

With foreign exchange reserves at less than US$9 billion and "in the wake of dried up capital inflows and lowest investment"; the government seems to be seeking ways to return to the IMF support facility. The last IMF facility was suspended mid-course in 2010, due to failure to fulfil agreed conditions.

I recall seeing him in early 1999, soon after he joined the ISI, at a top businessman’s party in Islamabad whose salon was frequented by top military officials. He was obviously intoxicated—and believe me not by a soft drink.
