The traitor Leaves

Flight Lieutenant M Matiur Rehman who waws the cause of the martyrdom of Rashid Minhas is finally going to his land. I am glad he is being moved to Bangladesh as there is no space for a traitor on pakistani land.

I dont have mix feelings about this person, he was a traitor to pakistan at the time of near war. He tried to do something which any pakistani would never do at any time. What happened to him was something that he deserved and am glad it happened to him. He also managed to introduce us to a true pakistani Hero, Rashid Minhas.

for bangalis he is a hero but for me he is a traitor who died while trying to betray his nation, he would have succeeded but Allah had another planfor him and he died like a disgraced traitor and for ever came to be known as a traitor in pakistani history..

It is good he will be moved to bangladesh and be buried. I just pray that he goes to hell for betraying muslims and pakistani, Rot in Hell Traitor.

Nuclear Iran

Well I am not going to speculate about a nuclear Iran, It was definitely be a problem for Muslims (Sunni I mean) who dont like Iran. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan I am sure won’t be happy with that fact. Maybe they might even help USA some how covert to stop Tehran from getting closer to a full nuclear program. Shias in Pakistan are a minority and so are they in Saudi Arabia; A Nuclear Iran will help those minority get stronger.

Well I didn’t start the blog about this issue but as I was thinking of a possibility of an attack on Iran from USA, it will do a lot of opposite things that USA wouldn’t want. What am I talking about, well if GW decides to attack Iran that will result in the unthinkable i.e. Unite the Muslims.

Think about this, this will be the platform for Muslims, Sunni or Shia to come together to condemn USA. This will also bring them together to form anti US alliances in the Middle East which is exactly what the USA doesn’t want. So I guess Mr. Bush now you are at a cross roads, you have to protect Israel but can’t afford a united Muslim nations. The US policy and officials have to walk a very fine line on this issue. Israel and US strategic interests go way back and so does the distrust between Shia Sunnis. If the attack does happen, this will push Muslim to come together who won’t care if they are Shia or Sunni but their common ground will be hatred of US Policy.
Then it won’t be hard to imagine people like Zarqavi getting training and resources from Iran, they will open flood gates of problems for the Middle East rather than just USA.

Countries like Pakistan can get trouble and might not be a favorable please for a US friendly government. If Iran becomes hostile then Pakistan has to worry about unfriendly countries from most of its borders, they include Iran, India and Afghanistan. Currently internal problems in Pakistan are causing for them to rethink their policies, Balouch and NWFP problems and Army’s involvement is causing an ever deteriorating problem from getting stable to getting worse. In such scenarios Pakistan might not be able to handle another fiasco in the Middle East, i.e. Iran.

So I guess we can hope and pray that nothing like that happens. Inshallah :). But Bush will have to keep a cool mind and try to work with Iran.

Beard in Islamic Republic of Pakistan's Armed Forces

I just read an article online on BBC urdu Ofcourse. it is amazing to see this kinda crap happening in pakistan.

they fired an Airforce Officer for giving out Quran with urdu trans, they ground Airforce pilots for having beards, They fire people for things like this?? What kind of Armed forces we want, the ones who fight for secularism or for Islam for which pakistan was created.

They had an interesting take on it saying that Pilots cannot fly with beards due to requirements for a mask with oxygen but the pilots in question were trained in usa and they had gotten no objection in USA for anything like that but in pakistan it seems we are trying to eliminate the essence of pakistan from the armed forces which is Islam. We should remember if we go on a path like this then we have no right to call Army personnel Shaheed or Ghazi as they are islamic terms and Allah’s help comes to those who defend his religion not make a mockery of it.

Only can Happen in a Democracy

While reading BBC Urdu I came across the news article about Indian CBI(Indian FBI) arrested High ranking Army officials over misusing state secrets.

While reading this I just couldn’t stop thinking about if this could ever happen in Pakistan. I guess NOT.

We have to realize that the Army owns Pakistan, unless and until there is true democracy. Do you remember the time when once Police man tried to stop an Army Captain in Multan and he ended up being beaten severely or the case when some poor Police Man tried to stop an Army Colonel’s car for passing a Red Light (Although he was beaten by the driver as the colonel was not even there). So do we think that the Civil Administration or any Civil Department can ever investigate army personnel in Pakistan, I don’t think so.

It will be a great day if we ever can put the Military Brass in their right place. I am not against them, infect I did apply for commission in the Air force but never got into it. It seems that the system is so corrupted that it will need a big mandate and a decision on the part of the Pakistani, if they want this change.

Inshallah as Allah swt has said that he is the best planner so everything that is coming to pass for Pakistanis will eventually end up in betterment for the whole society. Inshallah

Women of Pakistan

Induction of Female fighter Pilots, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Well we couldn’t come up with anything else to empower women in Pakistan but to make 4 of them fighter pilots. I don’t disagree with this action but common this doesn’t do crap for Pakistani women. Islam has always given rights to women, so why don’t we start from allowing them have basic human rights. What do I mean by that you ask?

Well stuff like the following

1. Right to live a decent life.
2. Right to marry and ask for a divorce at will.
3. Right to work.
4. Right to question the society.
5. Right to live as a human being.

Ok I am sure you are thinking that what the heck are you saying, you have always written conservative religious crap but lemme assure the people here that I think the same till now.

The problem is that in Pakistan we have fused religion with Culture. If we look at the status of women during the time of the Prophet Pbuh. That society was much liberal than a lot of conservative societies nowadays and very conservative as compared to the liberal ones right now.
This means the golden middle path that Islam has always taught us and asks us to follow. Women have had rights from day one when Islam came and women were empowered to do all that is allowed in Islam. They did business, they had a say in their marriage, there were no honor killings, and they fought in wars but what has changed now in these times. What has changed is the corruption of religion in certain societies by the hand of culture. Some cultural aspects are very good but some are really bad and we see the bad one prevalent in Pakistani Culture.

The tradition of Karo Kari, honor killings, forced marriages, unable to divorce from a bad relationship, treatment of divorced or widows and so on. These have had no space in our culture but have come from the Hindu culture which was and still prevalent in sub continent. We try to compete with India in all acts of life, from being very progressive to TV vulgarism to Military might and so on.

Why do we do this because we tend to turn away from the core teachings of Islam? Islam teaches us all sort of good things but punishment for the bad things is also severe. The laws in Islam are very strict just to make sure those forbidden acts don’t happen. It has been made so easy to commit a sin rather than live a good pious life because the culture doesn’t let people so.

So I guess we await the day when we can decide that what do we actually want, The Islamic Republic of Pakistan or The Republic of Pakistan.

Let’s not cheat our selves.

the undeclared wars in muslim asia

Well I thought I will document the undeclared, below radar wars going on in the world. These are mostly IT wars and take place constantly online, in forums, sometimes spills out in real life also.

1. Shia Sunni:
Very evident it is happening in Iraq, Pakistan and quite a few places. Shias hate Sunnis and vice versa. It is also happening online, just visit any community related to shias on Orkut or sunnis, you will find evidence of such battles.

2. West and Muslim World
This one is also very clear with Iraq, Muslims fighting West’s presence in Iraq, also in Pakistan, Iran resisting US Pressure on Nuclear ambitions and so on. This was is not about religion but clash between values and societies, Their civilizations and cultures.

3. Islam and Christianity
This war has been on for quite a while. The influx of missionaries who try to convert people to Christianity and Muslims following suit. sometimes it erupts in bloody conflict like Lebanon or Nigeria.

4. India Pakistan
This is a proxy war which has been going on for a long time. With the Afghan conflict out of hand Pakistani still wage this undeclared war until God knows Who.

5. Saudi/Pakistan and Iran
To counter shia Islam the sunnis countries try to fight the shia Islam in Iran and now maybe Iraq. Iran has been sponsoring shia militancy in Pakistan for quite a while. Saudi Arabia has supported Sunni militant groups in Pakistan for a long time.

6. China and India
These two powers have had clashed once and now fight unconventional wars between each other. China supports Pakistan in its efforts to match India’s might and china also achieves its hidden agenda also against India at the same time.

7. America and China
The war of economy and communism vs. capitalism goes on. China is being fought now by helping India.

8. Israel and Muslim World
The centuries old conflict with Jerusalem in the middle and Israeli occupancy also happening at the same time. Israel has USA on its side and non one can beat them economically or militarily.

Indian Blasts in Banaras

well the easiest way to implicate pakistan in anything is to have some kind of religious related terrorist act in india and blame it on LET. Well who knows who did that but all eyes are already on pakistan and LET. It is interesting to see that a Leading politician yesterday after the bombing said that it had traits of LET.

Lets investigate and then point fingers, rather than instigating the population and start a religious riot (ofcourse india is famous for that) but hey who is looking. All care about Islamist terrorism. I think they should look at Hinduists also :). well i can see this going the other way around that is to start another gujrat type riots to make the muslims realise that “Hey we are watching you. We can screw you anytime.”

So Benazir made an Amazing discovery

She said that the relationship between Pakistan and Afgahnistan are getting worse.

I bet you had to be really smart to notice that. Well lemme put it straight If it was Musharraf, Benzair, Nawaz Sharif or Me as the leader of the pakistnai govt right now, my opposition would say the same. Everyone knows what Pakistan’s policy was in afghanistan, who trained and got Taliban into Afghanistan. we will never have good relations with a not friendly afghan govt. it is very visible that the current government is from the reminence of Northern Alliance which was once very india friendly and stuill are.

This has been the problem from Day one. An India friendly govt in afghanistan is pakistan’s nightmare. It has been true since the fall of Taliban. we knew the day we decided to part with the taliban that we will have an india friendly government in Kabul. Now they are allowed to take free swings at pakistan and we cannot do anything. ISI had created the Taliban to counter india’s influence in Afghanistan but sadly in 10 years or so the tables have turned and now it is exactly opposite to what they had wished for.

So Madam Benazir, live with the relaity and dont play politics with this issue. If you were in the office you would not have allowed the afghans to question our policies in pakistan and would have answered the way musharraf did to Karzai (and rightly so).

I never support Musharraf but i totally support his stance on Afghan statements about pakistan.

Another Tribal council decision in pakistan

Again it has nothing to do with islam and this shows the ignorance still present in pakistan.
One of the daughters of a landlord in villiage in pakistan decided to go with one of the workers in the house. To get her back a council was called for the village and they decided that 2 women from the guy’s family will be abducted as a counter.
This kind of sanctioned abuse is totally not acceptable. I wish these people could be arrested and imprisoned with harsh labor.
It is just not a local problem but the problem with the system. This culture evolves from earlier hindu culture and still exist both in India and Pakistan. Police protect these people and then once the case is registered they arrest them after deals have been made.

Again as i said it is pure Ignorance.
