Pakistan divided on (and because of) Eid
Although most of the country’s population is celebrating Eidul Fitr on Saturday (today), parts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, including the provincial capital, and some areas in Gilgit-Baltistan and Balochistan offered Eid prayers on Friday.

Skardu was the first town in Gilgit-Baltistan to announce Eid on Friday after a Shia scholar of the central mosque said he had received enough evidence of moon sighting. However, it was not until 3 am on Friday that Shia clerics in Gilgit decided to celebrate Eid the same morning. “Announcements were made at about 3am from the loudspeakers of the main mosque in Gilgit, asking people not to fast on Friday,” said Imtiaz Taj, a resident of the Amphery area.

Taj said that the late announcement of Eid was to prevent people from indulging in aerial firing, an act that has triggered sectarian violence in the past.

In Balochistan, Eidul Fitr was celebrated in Qila Abdullah and Qila Saifullah districts where large congregations were held on Friday while the other 28 districts of the province will celebrate Eid today. Both the districts share borders with Afghanistan and usually celebrate Eid with the neighbouring country.

This kind of talk from US is getting truly sick and laughable were it not tragic. What do they mean by preventing another Mumbai? There is only one sure way to do it. Do an Amritraj on TSPA/ISI. But instead, what US means by "preventing" is giving teeth to TSP's use of terror as an instrument of state policy so to prevent India from retaliating to TSP's terror. Sick.

I do keep hearing this. I am doubtful that Pakistan could have so many 'native' channels. Are they including Indian channels & other firangi channels like Discovery etc ?
Sridhar - I recently saw a list of Paki channels but I did not count. On another note - how difficult is it to start a TV channel if you are one of the 1000 super-rich people in Pakistan? All you need is a studio - a few anchors, camerapersons and technicians and there is readymade access to media from anywhere in the world. You know how Jaya TV and Sun TV work.

Ted Koppel was on telly,on the anniversary of 9/11.He made an astonishing analysis,that Osama had won,because by the attacks on 9/11 "200,000 dollars and 14 men",he had made the US spend billions,if not trillions in two wars,which had weakened the US economy massively.Koppel corretly said that it was not Osama's intention to wage a coventional war with the US,but make it behave stupidly and over react,which it indeed had done.He said that in the immediate aftermath of 9/11,Bush did the "right things" by keeping a low profile,using covert ops and the intel agencies instead to prevent further attacks.He said that countries like France and Israel had a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of terror and did so wisely.

Similarly,one could look at 26/11 in a similar vein and see who really has won,India or Pak.While India has reacted with enormous rstraint,too much in the minds of many,it has totally failed on the diplomatic front,where thanks to asinine diplomacy by Dr.Singh,Pak has actually gained the upper hand with the introduction of "Baluchistan" into the Indo-Pak talks agenda,as if alleged Indian action in Baluch is the equivalent of Pak's dicabolic attacks in J&K and dirctly aiding and abetting terror through its proxies across the country.Pak has not puniished a single member of the terror plot who walk freely on its soil and evidence of Headley/Gilani reveals that the ISI was at the centre of it all,the ISI and LET being two sides of the same coin.

Just like 9/11,the pepetrator of the evil events of 26/11 has truly won.Pakistan has got away with wholescale murder of not just poor Indians,but also a host of foreigners including Americans.It is inconceivable how the US has mollycoddled Pak despite all its basta*dry and is still supplying it with arms and aid! Such insatiable lust for the "madam" of international terrorism is inconceivable and utterly condemnable.

True. But, there are some major differences. While starting the channel is easy, running the channel is more difficult in Pakistan because of lack of software and difficulty in producing software. Pakistan has to look to India for music, dance, drama, films etc. That will push up cost. Then there are various restrictions on what can be shown etc. English language programmes may not have much of an audience in Pakistan. I do not know if channels dedicated to Equity/Bond markets are sustainable in Pakistan. There are a number of Pakistani religious channels that I am aware of but they don't exceed a dozen. Then, there are channels like Geo, DAWN, Express etc. Another dozen, if counted generously. There could be regional language channels in Punjabi, Pashto, Seraiki, Balochi and Sindhi. Another two dozen, at the most. Another dozen sports channels. On a generous count, these are five dozens.

If I travel to Kumbakonam or Tirunelveli down south, I do see several local channels on the cable, advertising local events, temple functions, shops etc interspersed with filmi music, films, comedy clips etc. They cannot be seen beyond the town. I expect the Pakistani count of 90 to include similar worthless channels.

Yet another demonstration by the citizens of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan of their unerring ability to belie the statement that “Islam is a Religion of Peace” by frequently having Muslims indulge in egregious acts of violence targeting other Muslims over differences inspired by Islam.

In the current case, open season in Karachi for the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat (ASWJ) which is a Muslim organization whose membership is made up those of the Sunni sect and the Barelvi sub-sect.

Is this a case of sectarian violence with Muslims of the Shia sect targeting this Muslim group or is this a case of sub-sectarian violence with Muslims of the Sunni sect but Deobandi sub-sect targeting this Muslim group? :

You really think so? Every criminal act by that criminal nation is like a nail in its own coffin. Its sins are adding up fast and one day hopefully soon it will be time to pay and pay big time it will. Its called Karma.

This is *not* Shi'a taking revenge on the Berelvis. The ASWJ is a Berelvi organization which has been under constant threat from two terrorist Sunni organizations over several decades now: one is the Deobandi SSP and the other is the Wahhabi LeT. In the early part, the attacks were mostly to seize the mosques and properties of the Berelvis. While these continue to remain a major reason, there is an added requirement nowadays to convert the Berelvi cadres to Deobandi & Wahhabi beliefs as well. The ASWJ has a terrorist tanzeem, Sunni Tehreek, which will try to take revenge now, but their retaliations have become weaker over the years. BTW, Yousuf Raza Gilani is a direct descendant of one of the most revered mystical saints of Berelvis, Sheikh Abdul Qadir Gilani.

Karachi has a mind-boggling variety of violent crimes. Mohajirs Vs. Pashtuns, Taliban Vs. everyone else, crimes related to drug running involving Pashtuns, SSP Vs. Shi'a, SSP/LeT Vs. Berelvi.

The counter-argument:

There were a few aspects of Mumbai 26/11, which were very striking:
  1. The terrorists attacked not only Indians but several foreigners as well, as noted above.
  2. The attacks were carried live on TV, with many photos of attackers appearing in print media as well.
  3. One attacker was caught live.
  4. It has been proved beyond doubt that the attackers were Pakistanis, they were from an ISI supported organization, and using FBI assistance and interrogation of David Headley, that ISI was itself involved - meaning this attack was carried out by the Pakistani State.
  5. India did not retaliate, but has tried to find justice through diplomatic channels and legal means.
Facts have been established in the minds of the people all over the world. The TV pictures were telecast all over the world. A terrorist action live on TV was perhaps too sensational for the world population to pass up on. Most were probably shocked and some were even entertained and amused. Whatever their reaction, one thing was burned into their minds - that Pakistanis are terrorists. In fact Mumbai 26/11 made Pakistan look responsible for all the previous acts of terrorism, which India was convinced of, but due to the perfidy of Western governments and media, Pakistan could retain their cover of deniability. After Mumbai 26/11 and 173 lives later, it became a FACT that Pakistan was a terrorist country.

Then they all looked expectantly at India whether India would retaliate after such a dastardly act. When India did not retaliate. That made them think - was India an idiot or a coward? Whatever their conclusion, they all were convinced that India was not a war-monger, looking for a fight.

Whenever one country attacks the other, the world community may be shocked. If the country attacks with nukes, the shock may be greater. But every time, the World Opinion asks whether the attacked asked for it, whether the attacked was really to blame. The second question is whether the attacker was over-eager to attack, and whether the attack could have been avoided if other means had been used - diplomatic means, or economic sanctions, etc. So if on both these accounts the world community thinks, that the attacker was justified to attack, then it is able to excuse the attacker regardless of how the attack or rather the retaliation was carried out - even if it is with nukes.

Basically Pakistan has given India the license to nuke it. The world opinion would be shocked but would understand.

With every dossier our mantris take to Islamabad, the writing on that license becomes ever more legible.

That license now sits on PM's desk!

Pakistan government gave undertaking to Scotland Yard to ensure tainted trio's return
The Pakistan government had to give an undertaking that the suspended trio of Test captain Salman Butt and pace bowlers Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asif would be available for further investigations by the Scotland Yard to ensure their return home from London.

Well-placed sources said that interior minister Rehman Malik has given an undertaking to Scotland Yard through the barrister appointed by the Pakistan Cricket Board in London that the government takes surety for the three players.

"The surety is that the government will ensure the players are made available at any location for further investigations and questioning by Scotland Yard and that they will be sent immediately to London when required," one source disclosed.

The source said Scotland Yard allowed the players to leave London after getting the surety from Malik and the trio returned home early on Saturday morning to Lahore amid tight security.

Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi delivers message of peace at U.S. Open after Indo-Pak Express suffers defeat

Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi delivered his message loud and peacefully, and it had nothing to do with forehands or backhands, or even the doubles title he failed to win.
"I want to say something on behalf of all Pakistanis," he said following Friday's 7-6 (5), 7-6 (4) defeat to the Bryan brothers, Bob and Mike. "Every time I come here, there's a wrong perception about the people of Pakistan.

"They are very friendly, very loving people. We want peace in this world as much as you guys."
Qureshi said he's been stopped at airport immigration "every time" in New York - three hours at a time - including after his latest flight for the Open. And on the eve of the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, he wanted to defend his country's masses.

"Since September 11, every time I come to the States or western countries I feel people have the wrong impression about Pakistan as a terrorist nation," Qureshi said. "I just wanted to declare that we are very friendly, loving and caring people, and we want peace in this world as much as Americans and the rest of the world wants.

"There are extremists in every religion, but just because of them you cannot judge the whole country as a terrorist nation. I just wanted to get this message across as a Pakistani."

The word "saint" applies primarily to the Catholic concept of "pure" [sanctum] and with a brief exception in the early period, is generally now applied to people who necessarily satisfy (1) suffering persecution/martyrdom (2) performing miracles (3) leading a holy life starting from a point in life to death [however not all who satisfy these may be deemed saints automatically].

Maybe we should not use the word to describe "walis" in various Islamic sects? The basic Catholic criteria may not apply to most of those Islamic theologians or leaders dubbed "saints" in English media. For example the famous founder of Azmer sharif is typically dubbed a "saint" but fails on all three basic criteria. The biographies of most "saints" in now Pak occupied regions also fails these criteria. The word "saint" conjures up an image of passive suffering, not persecuting others, "performing" "benevolent acts" etc. Unfortunately the real biographies point otherwise.

The state is named as Islamic republic and Jihad is one of the state and official motto. It supports and uses terrorists for the state purposes and this guy wants everybody to think that people from that state are normal people.

Their respective neighboring countries have warred with and terrorized each other since the 1940s, citing religion as their great chasm.

This needs reply - India does not send terrorist to other countries and does not harbor terrorists.

Pakistan fast running out of tour options as ECB looks to get tough

England will not serve as a neutral venue for Pakistan again next summer. After the spot-fixing crisis of the last fortnight, Pakistan are believed to have been written out of the script and fixture schedule for the 2011 season.
The situation has been complicated by the fact that the England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Giles Clarke is also the head of the International Cricket Council's new Pakistan Task group.

But his look of disdain, if not outright contempt, for Mohammed Amir, when he was selected as Pakistan's man of the series, and that Clarke refused to shake his hand, reflects the ECB's new, less-enthusiastic attitude towards Pakistan

Indeed, but this equivalence is what Indian "secularists" have estbalished using fodder provided to them by Shiv Sena and Bajrangi types. A massive self-inflicted goal, and we are stuck with that albatross, at least at the international level.

Even if we discount the prospect of more recruitment of militants, the influx of several displaced and dispossessed in the urban centres will be a major boon for the criminal networks operating in the cities. The nexus between these elements and the militant groups has also been observed. Though we lack accurate data in this context, but anecdotal evidence and the incidence of bank robberies during the rise of Taliban in 2008-2009 is a rough guide.
From a long essay here: http://www.razarumi.com/2010/09/11/future-of-a-crisis/
Was wondering if anyone has a handle on this.

Shah Rukh Khan is testing waters by lining up one of the TFTA cheater bowler (with emphasis on first "T") for his team. If that goes through then it will open the flood gates for other cheaters to enter various leagues. Then the chorus will start for playing with the cheaters in neutral venues.

Arun and SSridhar,

The ASWJ mentioned in these reports is not a Barelvi group, but is one of the new names of Sipah-e-Sahaba. I believe the recent killings of ASWJ leaders are nothing but a continuation of the long standing actions of Shia groups to assassinate SSP terrorist cheifs in retaliation for the mass murders of Shias.

$11-Million Monument to Benazir Bhutto: APPROVED

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/shirin-sa ... 10779.html

This week, as flood waters ravage Pakistan's land and 20 million of its people, and after Pakistan's own president, Asif Ali Zardari, managed to muster only $58,000 of his own vast wealth to the flood relief (a donation nearly doubled by Angelina Jolie), yet another devastating blow has hit Pakistan: news that the government has now approved an $11-million statue of the President's assassinated wife, Benazir Bhutto.

And yes, this is Pakistani taxpayer money.

The statue itself will cost 4.7 million dollars, and it will be built on land that is worth another 5.9 million dollars. Apparently, Mr. Zardari, whose personal wealth is estimated to be more than 1 billion dollars, just couldn't afford to donate the land or the statue in honor of the mother of his children. :rotfl:

Pakistan: 13-year-old Hindu girl kidnapped from house, forced to convert to Islam; police won't pursue case
ISLAMABAD: A 13-year-old Dalit girl was kidnapped and apparently forced to convert to Islam in the Pakistani port city of Karachi, according to a media report on Saturday.
Poonam was kidnapped from her house in Lyari Town in Karachi on Wednesday, her uncle Bhanwroo told the Daily Times newspaper.When neighbours informed her family of Poonam's presence at a madrassa in Lyari, they went there.
"She was very scared and under the influence of maulvis. She told us they will not let her go, so she will stay with them as a Muslim," said Bhanwroo.
No compulsion.The family contacted police in Chakiwara to lodge an FIR [First Information Report] on the kidnapping but they refused to do so, he said.
Lyari's Superintendent of Police Khadim Hussain Rind told the newspaper that lodging an FIR would not make any difference as it will be cancelled during court proceedings.

"There are extremists in every religion, but just because of them you cannot judge the whole country as a terrorist nation. I just wanted to get this message across as a Pakistani."
The state is named as Islamic republic and Jihad is one of the state and official motto. It supports and uses terrorists for the state purposes and this guy wants everybody to think that people from that state are normal people.
Yes, Qureshi is very right - give them a break, just because 99% of them are extremists you cannot judge the whole nation as a terrorist nation. :D There is this 1 person who does not .... well never mind.

The ASWJ mentioned in these reports is not a Barelvi group, but is one of the new names of Sipah-e-Sahaba. I believe the recent killings of ASWJ leaders are nothing but a continuation of the long standing actions of Shia groups to assassinate SSP terrorist cheifs in retaliation for the mass murders of Shias.
Rangudu is right. There is a 'Jamaat-ahl-e-Sunnat ', which is a Berelvi organization and then there is a new 'Ahl-e-Sunnat Wal Jammat' of the a Sipah-e-Sahaba (SSP). This is like Jundallah and Jandullah, two separate organizations.
