THE ORIENT & THE OCCIDENT

zaki.myc@hotmail.com (Zaki Khalid Iqbal) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:56:00 +0000

Orientalism is essentially the perception that the Global West is superior to us and we are inferior to them. It is a cultural hegemony of the occident over the orient. It undermines our ability to critically analyze and understand things. By accepting this orientalist perception, we are legitimizing the ne0-liberalism and colonialism of the west as it was used to legitimize the colonize enterprise of the East India Company in India, as had been in many other countries. No one denies that globalization is predominantly a western idea.

Most people appreciate the efforts of the West to promote peaceful relations with the East. But few realize that all this comes at a price. They will only accept peace if there is a cultural and social integration between the Orient and the Occident. But they are in essence mincing words here. This cultural and social integration is not merely merging values of both the parties involved. But it is absolute authorization of the Occident and legitimate subjugation of the Orient.

Orientalism is narrowly defined as a cultural feature associated with the countries, peoples, or cultures of East Asia, but this statement chiefly hides the larger picture. It is also a sum of oversimplified attitudes of Western intellectuals toward the East, and in particular toward the Middle East. The reason why people fail to understand Orientalism in its entirety is particularly due to acceptance of western laws and the democratic system.

If one understands the process of westernization as the dominant force in the era of globalization but argues as if nothing in principle is wrong with the orientalist perception, he/she might need to reconsider if the referent that he/she is following is worthy of being admired. By adopting a holistic approach and understanding that the political, economic, judicial and social spheres are interrelated to each other, one should not be oblivious to the hidden but phenomenal failures under the rubric of glamour and development.

It’s no surprise that whatever the west portrays as trendy, the east follows it. Let it be reminded here that the west is not inclusive of the entire Europe or North and South America, but rather the Global North in which the United States and Britain are dominant. No one today denies the penetration of westernization in the global societies but what one does not understands why that is so. Certainly, the west has depicted it as being on the axis of development and modern civilization. It is not a coincidence however that the east has fallen pray to their perception and has failed to see what is behind the veil.

Is it agreeable that the one you are going to follow must be someone better than you and must be worthy of following? If yes, we may continue. What is the west we are all fond of? Under the garb of hi-fi buildings, luxurious cars, awesome houses, lies the worst sort of depression and hopelessness. They promote development as being a part of a multinational corporation, having a promising career and a secure future. But development is improving education, literacy, health, hygiene and environment. Unfortunately, many of these factors are rather completely ignored or not dealt with properly. After all, it’s the western perception.

As the world is moving on, people are becoming increasingly materialistic and individualistic. Values of altruism and self-sacrifice are becoming progressively rarer. All this lies in the heart of secularism and liberalism. Families are destroyed and lives shattered. Divorce rates are the highest in these countries and never wonder why. The children don’t know where to go and in order to avoid the negative atmosphere of the house, remain out most of the time. They are exposed to strip clubs and bars and since they feel so devastated already, they don’t mind giving way to their desires. This is the democracy of the west, and this is their society. Many of the people in the west seek to find a way out of this materialistic unhappy life they are entrapped in and look out for peace in spiritualism. New age religions, yoga and other spiritualistic cults are on the rise there. There is a complete hopelessness generated. Amazingly, people are leaving orthodox Christianity, and are either coming to complete spiritualism, or are leaving religion altogether. Resultantly suicide rates due to purposelessness and depression are escalating. Some people think that monasticism is the way out while others think the other extreme.

One of the most lethal weapons to promote social ideas is the media and it’s no surprise that the spread of media in every home has largely and indefinitely contributed to the change of perceptions in every home as well. Can anyone in their right mind possibly deny that the presence of electronic media has altogether created new values and shun old ones? Is it ludicrous to think that the most of the movies produced in the 21^st century have shamelessly promoted fornication, porn, extra-marital relations, sexual harassment and abuse? Who in their right mind could possibly deny that the children are largely been exposed to pornography from an early age? In the age of globalization, every person, be he young or old tries to imitate what he sees on the television in one way or the other.

The media has been used to make objectionable ideas and values acceptable in today’s society. Who could once perceive of homosexuals as being not only so open about their nature, but also very proud of it? Being a gang member used to be somewhat a member of shame; but now, the media promotes “good” gangsters as bringing justice to the world by adding a little moral touch to it. At first the idea of the man having relations with anyone other than his wife seemed an insult to his family, now it has become a norm. One just wonders how did this paradigm shift happen and how did it take place in just a short span of time.

THE CLUTCHES

zaki.myc@hotmail.com (Zaki Khalid Iqbal) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:49:00 +0000

By Mehreen Omer

The trouble with today’s modern man is his inability to break the clutches of his mind and think freely and independent from other sources. He feeds on the information being fed to him through the hands of others and doesn’t questions what he is being fed. He has incontrovertibly become dependant upon the views and information being presented to him by “others” and so sees the world as “others” want him to see. So in effect, he finds it either inconvenient or too strenuous to work out some information about any thing himself and would readily accept any information presented to him by “others”. Unfortunately, the “others” that he either trusts too much or considers “experts” are the very same people who are not credible at all and deliberately supply false information i.e. in other words propaganda.

So has man become too tired to think critically and put everything under careful scrutiny or has man indulged himself in an inferiority complex seeing the world through the eyes of those that he considers superior. This is the perception of orientalism which basically promotes the notion that the West has better and much superior values and the eastern world has remained backward as a whole. An important personality who needs be discussed whenever orientalism is discussed is Edward Said.

Edward Said (1935-2003) was a Palestinian American writer and educator. In his writings and lectures, Said was highly critical of Western portrayals of Arabs and of United States foreign policy in the Middle East. For much of his life he was a passionate advocate of the cause of Palestinians displaced by the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. His outspoken views gained him both admirers and fierce critics. Said is best-known for his book Orientalism (1978), which discusses the attitude of Western intellectuals toward the East, and in particular toward the Middle East. Said argued that Westerners have a limited, oversimplified concept of the Middle East and its history. This view, he said, goes hand in hand with political imperialism.[i]

In Culture and Imperialism (1993) Said drew similar perceptions from works of Western literature—perceptions of the East as the “other,” of peoples barbaric and limited, of Oriental despots, and of cultures both exotic and degenerate. Said argued that these perceptions remain influential today and have an impact on politics, particularly on policies toward the Middle East and on views of Arabs. [ii]

An excellent analogy that can be cited is that a man who is reluctant to think independently is like a policy-maker who has been told by his enemy how to set his foreign policy. Most people are aware what propaganda is, but still apply little effort to counter it. Even if barely a person becomes aware that a television anchor has lied about things or events in the past, he still doesn’t gives him the certificate of a liar and presupposes that the television anchor can lie about something trivial but not something that is so open. These are the kind of people who are unaware of disinformation. Disinformation does not merely means false information but false information which is presented after lots of true information, so that the person thinks that if that much true information has been given to him, the remaining must also be the truth. That’s why most Hollywood movies would portray governmental corruption and domestic terrorism but don’t go further than that. They would give the facts that make the public hate the puppets (because they already hate them) and not the real people behind them. How many movies are made about a government sex scandal but not about how the government has actually been proved to be behind a terrorism case that they for long blamed on others?

And when such narrow-minded people are told that a certain person is lying; that man pops up angrily and argues baselessly that are they the experts are you the experts. Such a person has undeniably been deluded into believing that just because a person got his so-called Ph.D. in a particular field, he got to be saying the the truth! Even as a layman, one must do his own research and study under experienced teachers and then form his own conclusion. Man always tries to avoid the hassle and find the shortcut which in turn hurts him big time in the long run.

The debate between the east and west seems to be old and outdated yet this is not only about western domination and eastern incompetency but unwillingness will to think critically and independently. No argument regarding this entire notion is well-supported without the mention of the thousand years of golden age of Muslims. It was a time when Muslims literally ruled the world and set the stage for advancements in medicine, astronomy, technology, social sciences, political science, law, history and many other sciences. They led the way; and this being at a time when the European (or more precisely the Western world) was engrossed in their dark ages. Today Muslims have become gripped in their pessimism and have become reliant upon the western world to lead the way. One thing that needs to be reminded here is that the western world considered here is the western values in general and not the western people in particular; since there are western Muslims as well!

Another thing that needs to be considered is that mankind has indeed become inept and entertainment saturated. And this is not by chance, as many would like to believe. Man is also affected by his societal milieu and resultantly adopts the values that the majority agrees to be ethical not what really should be ethical. And this is the problem. What will happen if the majority errs?

So conclusively, man needs to change his mentality and free himself from the clutches of modern-day imperialism. He needs to develop his self-esteem and stop being a puppet being stringed by the elite. Most people today accept and agree that 9/11 was an inside job, but they don’t consider the implications of this. If they lied about such an enormous event, why can’t they lie about other events, be they trivial or momentous? So beware. A Muslim needs to cautioned here that Prophet Muhammad SAW reminded us of these times when great lies will be spoken, so beware!

GLOBALIZATION

zaki.myc@hotmail.com (Zaki Khalid Iqbal) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:45:00 +0000

By Mehreen Omer

They want us to be one of them. They want us to be like them. They want to produce their carbon copies in the hundreds of millions. They want destruction. They want chaos. They want our doom. And how would man be able to swallow, when he will be told that Gog and Magog have achieved these aims. If anyone today has any doubts that globalization is a myth or that globalization is not part of the larger agenda, then he/she must perhaps go back to his philosophy that ignorance is bliss. They mince words saying globalization is unity between the orient and the occident, but one should question; is it really an edifying integration between the orient and the occident or a cultural hegemony of the occident over the orient.

According to Encarta Dictionary, to globalize means to make something adopted globally i.e. to become adopted on a global scale, or cause something, especially social institutions, to become adopted on a global scale. Isn’t that what is happening today, and incontrovertibly in almost every field. What we eat, drink, wear and how we behave, react and move, has been largely, if not completely, influenced by this process of globalization. Essentially, globalization is an authorization of a complete social, economic, psychological, educational, occasional, technological, political and judicial model around the globe with a one-world totalitarian government.

Today, we see different cultures are integrated into a global culture. Corporations have expanded into multinational businesses. To name a few; McDonalds, KFC, Pepsi, Coca Cola, Dominos, Boss, Hardees, Marks and Spencer, Chen One, Lewre, Charles and Keith, Starbucks, Levis, Dolce and Gabbana, Chanel have been found in almost each and every country. Companies like Apple, LG, Philips, Samsung, HP, and Toshiba have expanded their business internationally. Who is oblivious of hotels like Marriot, Pearl Continental and Hilton? Blue jeans and shirts have become the icon and the more branded an accessory, the better it is in the eye of people. Suffice to say, many brands and companies have become so culturally integrated in every society in such a way that they have become a part of them. But this process of globalization is not limited at the corporate level but also extends socially, morally and politically and have become part of our daily lives either unwillingly or unknowingly.

In the political culture, we see a perfect example of globalization in the United Nations Organization. Many people still today think that it was formed just as a reaction to the first two major world wars and to prevent any outbreak of such future potentially destructive wars. But if we understand who was behind the foundation of the United Nations, we shall realize a very sinister reason. But not to provoke any major unpleasant reactions, that reason will not be discussed here. We all perhaps know that the United Nations is not a solo organization but has many groups and sub-groups. Examples include UNESCO[1], UNICEF[2] and WHO[3] etc. Other organizations like the IMF[4] and WTO[5] have also largely played their role in establishing the same economic and trade rules worldwide.

In the social culture, we see ideas and concepts promoted by the media and changing the psychology, mentality, behavior, and personality of the individual. Values of this social culture are being increasingly adopted. These values have their origins in secularism, individualism and liberalism. The media is vital in promoting these values. Movies and programs are encouraging such principles to be adopted in every home and street. Many few invite the notion that Hollywood is not just an entertainment industry, it is a social marketing enterprise used to promote social change and to influence people with some specific ideologies, doctrines and notions.

This spread of globalization is not restricted only to these spheres, but have contaminated the economic realm as well as well. The rapid acceptance of capitalism throughout the world is one such example of globalization. How much destruction, chaos, poverty, unemployment, diseases and corruption, capitalism has brought to the world is no hidden secret. Along with this, the prevalence of interest-based banking system throughout the world is another example of globalization.

In the technological sphere, new technologies have been adopted readily around the world. Even though the Luddites [6]are trying to impose social controls over the use of technology, the Eli-ites [7]are using social controls to increase the acceptance of new technologies. Amazingly, the Eli-ites are winning the race. Even though the harms brought by the society outnumber the benefits brought by it; its acceptance is increasing rather than decreasing. One wonders, whose interest is this acceptance serving?

Indubitably, there has been an occasional amalgamation as well. World Aids Day, Cancer Day, Hunger Day, Earth Day are being renowned throughout the world. Festivals like Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve are celebrated throughout the world. Halloweens have become very common around the globe, and children use it to play trick and treat games, forgetting the history of Hollywood. It has become a phenomenon to celebrate many parties with spilling Champaign all over.

In the judicial circle, laws and legislations are rapidly being standardized throughout the world. Capital punishment is increasingly being abolished in many countries. Many countries are making euthanasia legal.

Even in the educational arena, many textbooks have been standardized to be taught in schools, universities and other institutions. Through such standardization, other works and ideas of other scholars are largely ignored and the new generation that is brought forth moves under the same axis. One should question why are such textbooks in science, history, law, business, economics, arts, humanities have been benchmarked.

GLOBAL THEFT

zaki.myc@hotmail.com (Zaki Khalid Iqbal) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:36:00 +0000

By Mehreen Omer

Mankind has been lied to. It has been utterly deceived. They’ve been told that the power elite is working for them to provide them with essentially three basic needs; food, shelter and clothing. What they have not been told, is that all these things were already theirs. It was stolen from them, and still is. The world power elite is making you pay money for something you own, and they are gaining money for something that’s not theirs. Unfortunately, this ignorance is not inconceivable considering that our history textbooks have been manipulated so tactfully by the same power elite. This is not hypothetical folks, this is the reality.

A massive global theft of our natural resources has resulted in poverty, starvation, pandemics, endemics, water and food shortages, destruction of livelihoods and even unemployment. If you have remained oblivious to this, then you should know that many works have been done criticizing this global take-over, but of course they are not highlighted by the media. Today, resolutions are passed in the United Nations Council to carve out poverty, disease and famine; only to further enslave mankind. Unequivocally, they are talking rubbish. The United Nations Organization isn’t there to help you; it’s there to enslave you. Many of the problems encountered today, be it poverty, spread of new diseases, famine, drought, or environmental crisis, are all man-made and have been engineered by those in power; not the government; but those who even control the government. It’s comical how just a couple of decades back, such accusations were labeled as conspiracy theories and now the same people are protesting against it.How would conceive the notion of paying a price for something that already belongs to you? How would you like paying a hundred bucks for a hundred bucks note already in your wallet? That’s ridiculous, isn’t it? And yet the reality is even worse. You are paying ten-thousand bucks for a hundred bucks in your wallet. As unbelievable it may seem, but the reality is that you have been fooled so much, that the reality is mocking at you. If one doesn’t even knows his rights, how will he fight for it? They have taken everything from you; your money, food, health, time, job, mind and even soul. They have penetrated into every corner of your home. They don’t need to know what’s happening in your private rooms; because they already know. They’ve prepared you for it. Sometimes, truth is stranger than fiction. The entire scenario is like a person taking a vase from your house, packing it up in fancy wrapping, and giving it back to you as a gift.

How would you react? Would you show thanks for something that was already yours? This is just one analogy. The reality goes far worse. A robber after raiding your house returns the next day to return your door mat. Quite disturbingly, mankind is actually thanking the robber for that door mat.

The realm of global theft encompasses many important aspects in our life. The most prominent of them are our national resources; something that is God-gifted to all humanity, regardless of who they are and where they live. Land, water, air, food, the sum of all human knowledge and experience, science and culture are something that are our commons, and have to be claimed back.

GLAMOUR

zaki.myc@hotmail.com (Zaki Khalid Iqbal) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:22:00 +0000

By Mehreen Omer

Why do we always covet something we don’t have in our lives, even though we do not necessarily need it? Have you ever wondered what is it that makes us so desirous of luxury? We may go by a small cozy chair that is just as comfortable as the expensive office seat, but we would rather prefer the later. We would rather prefer shopping in a mall and pay even thrice for the same quality we would get in a mediocre bazaar. Our brand involvement has increased tremendously, and every thing we buy has to be branded or otherwise is worthless. We have become indolently dependant upon quality that we forget the price that we have to pay for it. Has the infiltration of glamour changed our lifestyle so much that we need to reconsider our paradigm?

According to Encarta Dictionary; Glamour means exciting allure, expensive good looks and a spell. Considering the first definition, glamour is an irresistible alluring quality that somebody or something possesses by virtue of seeming much more exciting, romantic, or fashionable than ordinary people or things. Considering the second definition, glamour means striking physical good looks or sexual impact, especially when it is enhanced with highly fashionable clothes or makeup. Considering the third definition, glamour stands out for a magical spell or charm.

Of course, literally everyone knows in one way or the other what glamour is, but need was felt here to give proper definitions to argue further on their basis. As seen through the definitions glamour is largely used to glorify appearance, but what if appearance and reality are completely opposite things. Then, incontrovertibly, glamour in effect is used as a tool for mass deception. It indulges man in a trance, undermining his ability to judge the true value of things. It must be stressed here that looking good is no crime, but only looking good is.

Why have we become so inept that we are chasing something that we are never going to catch? If we do not realize the gravity of the problem, we will never be able to solve it. Stakes are high and urgent decisions are needed. In this post-normal world, where mass deception is common and outspread, if we do not realize the root of the problem that is facing us than we will undeniably will have to bear unimaginable repercussions. Why are we so obsessed with glamour? They paint ordinary things in different colors, and we become so involved in them. The things we own end up owing us. The things we don’t own allure us. And in this rush of life, we lose the trick.

What we do not perhaps understand is that glamour is not only restricted to fashion, but rather encompasses many aspects of our daily lives. Our entire lifestyles are set under the agenda of promoting glamour. Urbanization is endorsed under the guise of glamour. Big city life and high-rise buildings are seen as development. A person is judged primarily on the basis of the suit he wears in the office, and secondarily on his performance. Wearing a Rolex watch alleviates one’s position at work.

Needless to mention, glamour is widely promoted in the media. One particular movie “Confessions of a Shopaholic” can be discussed in this context. This is how the basic plot goes;

“A childhood memory begins the film, as Rebecca's mother buys her brown shoes that will last forever but aren't fashionable, while other girls get cute fashionable shoes. They laugh at her mundane shoes, and Rebecca feels unworthy. She sees a lady using a credit card and is fascinated by them, coveting one. Now, Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher), living with her best friend Suze Cleath-Stuart (Krysten Ritter), has moved to Manhattan to get involved in the New York City magazine world. She has several credit cards, and a shopping addiction. She's a journalist for a gardening magazine but her dream is to join the fashion magazine "Alette". Unfortunately, when Rebecca gets to her "Alette" interview the male receptionist informs her that the job has been filled by Alicia Billington. He advises her to join another of several other magazines owned by the corporation, Dantay West and make her way up to "Alette" since the company likes to promote from within. He tells her there are interviews being held at Successful Savings.

On the way to her second interview, she is distracted by a Denny & George sale, eventually buying a green scarf. Her credit card is declined and sale items cannot be held so Rebecca races to the nearest hot dog stand offering to buy all the hot dogs if the seller gives her back change in cash. Rebecca lies, saying its a gift for her sick Aunt Ermintrude. Finally a man offers her $20. When she interviews with Luke Brandon (Hugh Dancy), the editor of Successful Saving, she realises he is the man from who loaned her $20. Whilst he talks on the phone, she hides her scarf in a cubicle outside his office. The interview doesn't go well, when he asks her why she chose to learn Finnish fluently and about the current fiscal crisis. She tries to distract him without any success. Luke's assistant Hayley comes into the room and tells Rebecca that she dropped her scarf. Rebecca knows her game is up and leaves the interview.

Frustrated by her lack of success, she and Suze write drunken letters to Alette and Successful Saving, but she posts each to the wrong magazine. Nevertheless, Luke Brandon hires her. Then, rather than completing a work assignment, she goes to a clothing sale. When examining an expensive cashmere coat, it gives her inspiration for her column, calling herself "the Girl in the Green Scarf". Impressed Luke invites her to a conference in Miami and an important ball. At a restaurant Alicia (Leslie Bibb), asks Luke to the ball, leaving Rebecca feeling dejected. In Miami, Rebecca says her credit collector, Derek Smeath is actually her stalker when he attempts to reach her throughout the film.

Rebecca returns home to confrontations with Smeath, so her roommate Suze makes her join Shopaholics Anonymous. The class leader, Miss Korch (Wendie Malick), forces her to sell all the clothes she just bought, including her maid of honor dress for Suze's wedding and a dress she purchased for a TV show interview for her now famous columns as "The Girl in the Green Scarf". She offers to buy back both dresses from the charity store she was forced to donate to, but can only afford one, and chooses the TV interview dress. During her live TV interview, Rebecca is publicly outed and accused of not paying her debts by Derek Smeath, and consequently loses her job.Luke also breaks up with her after he finds out that she lied to him this whole time. Suze is also angry when she finds out that Rebecca sold her bridesmaid dress, and doesn't let her back into the apartment.

Rebecca is then back at her parents house when Allette herself appears to offer her a position at the fashion magazine as a new columnist, writing about bargain sales. While this had been Rebecca's initial plan, she says that she'd be making another mistake by influencing women to keep shopping for high-end clothes. She rejects the offer, and then decides to sell most of her wardrobe in an auction-style format to pay off her debts.

Rebecca sells all her clothes in the sale, but hesitates over the green scarf during the auction. A blond woman and a telephone bidder begin a bidding war over the scarf. The auction is a success, making it possible for her to repay all of her debts. Rebecca then gives her payment to her credit collector Derek Smeath, paying it all in change by leaving hundreds of jars in his office. Rebecca then attends Suze's wedding, after reclaiming her bridesmaid dress from the homeless woman who had subsequently gotten it from the charity store. Suze forgives her and lets her be the maid of honor again. Rebecca and Luke meet again, and Luke returns the green scarf after revealing that he was the person behind both bidders at the auction. Rebecca ends up working for Luke's new magazine, writing her first column titled "Confessions of a Shopaholic".” [1]

The infusion of glamour in our lives is largely due to the emergence of brands in the hundreds of millions. Corporations have become living, breathing persons. Glamour is not merely an air of compelling charm, romance, and excitement but rather a delusive alluring aura of hell. It makes one adore luxury to the extent that one would go to any extent for that. One is compelled by the its fragrance leading him to forget the price that is paid. You don’t get a Rolex out of nowhere. You don’t get a diamond-studded necklace out of thin air. Some people apparently had to pay the price for it, and be it their life. Those who are living with a lavish lifestyle, in luxurious houses, cars, spas, bars and clubs; should know that a lot of blood was spilled just to get you those things. Your luxury is a result of their sacrifice. Their lives have to be sacrificed for you to get even a normal suit. That is how the system works.

Right now while you are driving a Ferrari, child labor in Africa is in the flow to get the raw materials. Right now while you are sitting tight in your sofa eating a pizza, farmers in the third world are working hard to produce enough to keep something for their family while giving the rest away for usage by transnational corporations. While you are dressing up for a party with a diamond necklace, know that lives were enslaved to harvest those diamonds for you. While you are enjoying a beautiful sunset on your rocking chair, know that that its wood was cut by men who got negligible wage for it.

The things you own have been snatched from others and given to you, just because you can pay for them. That is what these corporations do. They put their brand name on stolen material, re-style it and give it to you, while the real owner doesn’t get more than a penny. Everything comes at a price. There is no such thing as free lunch. The elite are enslaving both the rich and the poor but by different means. They enchain the poor by oppression and the rich by making them so deeply involved in materialism.

What needs to be understood is that quality is someone everyone likes. But what one doesn’t understand is that quality comes at a price. Also, the problem is when one gets so deeply involved in materialistic possessions that he starts flaunting about them.

WHY ORTHODOX JEWS OPPOSE THE ZIONIST STATE OF ISRAEL

zaki.myc@hotmail.com (Zaki Khalid Iqbal) — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 20:31:00 +0000

By Abdullah Naeem

1) What is "The people of Israel" ?

-The people of Israel have existed for thousands of years.

-It has its own particular, essential, nature.

-The Torah is the source of its essential nature.

-Without Torah and faith there is no people of Israel.

-Whoever denies the Torah and the Faith is no longer part of the people of Israel.

-The purpose of the People of Israel in this world is Divine service.

-Their salvation is occupation in Divine Service.

2) What is Zionism ?

-Zionism is a new thing.

-It has only existed for a century.

-Zionism redefines the true essential nature of the people of Israel, and substitutes for it a completely contradictory and opposite character.

- a materialistic worldly nation.

-Their misfortune is lack of what other nations have. i.e. a state and army.

-Their salvation is possession of a state and army etc.

- This is clearly speed out in the circles of Zionist though, and among the leaders of the Zionist state, That through changing the nature and haracter of the people of Israel and by changing their way of thinking they can set before the People of Israel "their salvation." -- a state and an army.

3) The People of Israel Oppose This For 4 Reasons

FIRST

Because this is diametrically opposed and completely contradictory to the true essence and foundation of the people of Israel, as it explained above. Because the only time that the people of Israel where permitted to have a state were two thousand years ago when the Glory of the Creator was upon us. And likewise in the future when the Glory of the Creator will once more be revealed, and the whole world will serve Him. Then He Himself (without any human effort or force of arms) will grant us a kingdom founded on Divine Service.

However, a wordily state, like those possessed by other peoples, is contradictory to the true essence of the People of Israel. Whoever calls this the salvation of Israel shows that he denies the essence of the People of Israel, and substituted another nature, a worldly materialistic nature, and therefore sets before them, a worldly materialistic "salvation." And the means of achieving this "salvation" is also worldly and materialistic i.e. to organize land and army.

However, the true salvation of the People of Israel is to draw close to the Creator. And this is not done by organization and force of arms. Rather, it is done by occupation to Torah and good deeds.

SECOND

Because of all of this and other reasons Torah forbids us to end the exile and establish a state and army until the Holy One, blessed be He, in His Glory and Essence redeems us. This is forbidden even if the state is conducted according to the law of the Torah. Because arising from the exile itself is forbidden, and we are required to remain under the rule of the nations of the world, as it explained in the book VAYOEL MOSHE. And the Holy One, blessed be He, has warned us that if we transgress this injunction, He will bring upon us (may we be spared) terrible punishment.

THIRD

Aside from arising from exile, all the deeds of the Zionists are diametrically opposed to the Faith and the Torah. Because the foundation of the Faith and Torah of Israel, is that the Torah was revealed from heaven, and there is reward for those who obey it and punishment for those who transgress it. The entire People of Israel are required to obey the Torah, and whoever doesn't want to, ceases to be part of the Congregation of Israel.

FOURTH

Aside from the fact that they themselves do not obey the Torah, they do everything they can to prevent anyone they get under their power, from fulfilling the commands of the Torah. They do this both with force and with trickery. Their claims to freedom of religion are lies. They fight will all of their strength to destroy the Faith of Israel.

4) The Zionists claim that they are the savers of Israel, but this is refuted by twelve things.

FIRST

If one contemplates the two thousand years of our exile, take any hundred years even the hardest, one will not find as much suffering, bloodshed, and catastrophes for the People of Israel as in the period of the Zionists. And it is known that most of the suffering of this century was caused by the Zionists as our Rabbis warned us would be the case.

SECOND

It is openly stated in the books written by the founders of Zionism that the means by which they planned to establish a state was by instigating anti-Semitism, and undermining the security of the Jews in all the lands of the world, until they would be forced to flee to their state. And thus they did. They intentionally infuriated the German people and fanned the flames of Nazi hatred, and then helped the Nazis, with trickery and deceit, to take whole Jewish communities off to the concentration camps, and the Zionists themselves admit this. (See books Perfidy, Min Ha Meitsor, etc.). The Zionists continue to practice this strategy today, they incite anti-Semitism and then they present themselves as the "saviors". Here are two replies given by leaders of the Zionists during World War II, when they were asked for money to help ransom Jews from the Nazis. Greenbaum said "One cow in Palestine is worth more than all the Jews in Poland." (G-d Forbid). Weitzman said, The most important part of the Jewish people is already in the land (of Israel) and those who are left, are unimportant (May we be spared).

THIRD

We see that most of the world Jewry, lives in security under good physical conditions, and have no desire to go live in the Zionist state. Whereas many people have left the Zionist state to live under better conditions in other lands.

FOURTH

The Zionists make a great deal of propaganda to induce people to immigrate too their state. If their state is so beneficial why do they have to make so much propaganda.

FIFTH

Because nobody wants the Zionists to "Save them". The only way they can get immigrants is by promising poor people material benefits. And even then very few people respond.

SIXTH

The Zionist state is always threatened by the dangers of war. Whereas the rest of world Jewry lives in peace and security. (Except in a few places where the Zionists have undermined their security and fanned the flames of hatred)

SEVENTH

The Zionist state could not continue to exist without economic support from Jews living outside of the Zionist state.

EIGHTH

The Zionist state is on the verge of economic collapse, and their money is nearly worthless.

NINTH

The Zionist state persecutes all Jews who are loyal to their faith.

TENTH

They start wars that endanger the Jewish People, for the sake of their own political interests.

ELEVENTH

According to the Torah the path of safety is following ways of peace not starting fights with other nations, as the Zionists do.

TWELFTH

Even if the Zionists could and would provide physical security it would be at the expense of our Faith and Our Torah. And the true People of Israel prefer death rather than life at such a cost. It is therefore clear that Zionism is not the savior of the people of Israel. Rather it is their greatest misfortune.

5) Even though there are observant Jews and Rabbis, who approve of the Zionists, this is not the opinion of the Torah.

- The people of Israel has existed for thousands of years.

- It has its own particular, essential, nature.

- The Torah is the source of its essential nature.

- Without Torah and faith there is no people of Israel.

- Whoever denies the Torah and the Faith is no longer part of the people of Israel.

- The purpose of the People of Israel in this world is Divine service.

- Their salvation is occupation in Divine Service.

- They make it look like all Jewry and their Rabbis are
Zionists, but this is false propaganda.

- The most important Rabbis and the majority of religious
Jewry are opposed to Zionism, but their voice is not heard because of Zionist control of American News media.

- The Zionists terrorize everyone who speaks out against
them.

- That part of the Jewish masses which is fooled by Zionist propaganda puts pressure on their Rabbis not to speak out.

- Between the terror and the pressure of the masses most of the Rabbis are prevented from speaking out.

6) We bring three testimonies of the true opinion of the Torah.

(1) In the past two thousand years of the dangers and sufferings of exile not once did any of the Sages of Israel suggest that we make a state to protect ourselves. And in every generation we had thousands of Sages well versed in the Torah.

(2) We have thousands of legal work of Torah law that have been handed down to us by the Sages of all generations. Not once do we see a word suggesting the establishment of a state. What we do find is warnings against it.

(3)The founders of Zionism where all atheists who denied the Torah. And all the Torah Sages of that time opposed them and opposed Zionism, saying that Zionism would lead only to destruction.

However the true People of Israel will never change their nature or give up their faith. They are the strongest of the strong. Because of their strength the Creator gives them. Zionism is a foreign growth in the body of the Jewish People. The end will be that it will rid itself of this foreign growth and remain pure. Zionism has overcome the Jewish people by force. With fraud and terror, but none of this will help them because the truth will always remain with the help of the Creator. Zionism will not replace the Jewish People. The Jewish People will remain strong in their faith and the Zionist state will cease to exist.

(4)It is therefore, our demand that the State that calls itself ISRAEL should cease to exist. Since this won't be done, we demand that they cease to call themselves "Israel", because the entire being is in complete opposition to the true People of Israel. The true People of Israel deny them permission to call themselves by that Name. The Zionist leaders have no right to set themselves up as the representatives and spokesmen of the true People of ISRAEL.

(5)Since we know they will not fulfill this demand either we feel that at least we cry out the truth. And the truth will always remain the truth. By no means or force can the truth be changed. Even if all the world would say that one and one are three, the truth will remain that one and one is two.

6) Let the truth be declared. The use of the Name "ISRAEL" by that state is a complete falsification. The people of Israel have nothing to do with the state. Zionism and its state have no share and no part in the true ISRAEL.

zaki.myc@hotmail.com (Zaki Khalid Iqbal) — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 04:20:00 +0000

By Rupert Wright

Among the captains of industry, spin doctors and financial advisers accompanying British prime minister Gordon Brown on his fund-raising visit to the Gulf this week, one name was surprisingly absent. This may have had something to do with the fact that the tour kicked off in Saudi Arabia. But by the time the group reached Qatar, Baron David de Rothschild was there, too, and he was also in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Although his office denies that he was part of the official party, it is probably no coincidence that he happened to be in the same part of the world at the right time. That is how the Rothschilds have worked for centuries: quietly, without fuss, behind the scenes.

“We have had 250 years or so of family involvement in the finance business,” says Baron Rothschild. “We provide advice on both sides of the balance sheet, and we do it globally.”

The Rothschilds have been helping the British government – and many others – out of a financial hole ever since they financed Wellington’s army and thus victory against the French at Waterloo in 1815. According to a long-standing legend, the Rothschild family owed the first millions of their fortune to Nathan Rothschild’s successful speculation about the effect of the outcome of the battle on the price of British bonds. By the 19th century, they ran a financial institution with the power and influence of a combined Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and perhaps even Goldman Sachs and the Bank of China today.

In the 1820s, the Rothschilds supplied enough money to the Bank of England to avert a liquidity crisis. There is not one institution that can save the system in the same way today; not even the US Federal Reserve. However, even though the Rothschilds may have lost some of that power – just as other financial institutions on that list have been emasculated in the last few months – the Rothschild dynasty has lost none of its lustre or influence. So it was no surprise to meet Baron Rothschild at the Dubai International Financial Centre. Rothschild’s opened in Dubai in 2006 with ambitious plans to build an advisory business to complement its European operations. What took so long?
The answer, as many things connected with Rothschilds, has a lot to do with history. When Baron Rothschild began his career, he joined his father’s firm in Paris. In 1982 President Francois Mitterrand nationalised all the banks, leaving him without a bank. With just US$1 million (Dh3.67m) in capital, and five employees, he built up the business, before merging the French operations with the rest of the family’s business in the 1990s.

Gradually the firm has started expanding throughout the world, including the Gulf. “There is no debate that Rothschild is a Jewish family, but we are proud to be in this region. However, it takes time to develop a global footprint,” he says.

An urbane man in his mid-60s, he says there is no single reason why the Rothschilds have been able to keep their financial business together, but offers a couple of suggestions for their longevity. “For a family business to survive, every generation needs a leader,” he says. “Then somebody has to keep the peace. Building a global firm before globalisation meant a mindset of sharing risk and responsibility. If you look at the DNA of our family, that is perhaps an element that runs through our history. Finally, don’t be complacent about giving the family jobs.”

He stresses that the Rothschild ascent has not been linear – at times, as he did in Paris, they have had to rebuild. While he was restarting their business in France, his cousin Sir Evelyn was building a British franchise. When Sir Evelyn retired, the decision was taken to merge the businesses. They are now strong in Europe, Asia especially China, India, as well as Brazil. They also get involved in bankruptcy restructurings in the US, a franchise that will no doubt see a lot more activity in the months ahead.

Does he expect governments to play a larger role in financial markets in future? “There is a huge difference in the Soviet-style mentality that occurred in Paris in 1982, and the extraordinary achievements that politicians, led by Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy, have made to save the global banking system from systemic collapse,” he says.

“They moved to protect the world from billions of unemployment. In five to 10 years those banking stakes will be sold – and sold at a profit.”

Baron Rothschild shares most people’s view that there is a New World Order. In his opinion, banks will deleverage and there will be a new form of global governance. “But you have to be careful of caricatures: we don’t want to go from ultra liberalism to protectionism.”

So how did the Rothschilds manage to emerge relatively unscathed from the financial meltdown? “You could say that we may have more insights than others, or you may look at the structure of our business,” he says. “As a family business, we want to limit risk. There is a natural pride in being a trusted adviser.”

It is that role as trusted adviser to both governments and companies that Rothschilds is hoping to build on in the region. “In today’s world we have a strong offering of debt and equity,” he says. “They are two arms of the same body looking for money.”

The firm has entrusted the growth of its financing advisory business in the Middle East to Paul Reynolds, a veteran of many complex corporate finance deals. “Our principal business franchise is large and mid-size companies,” says Mr Reynolds. “I have already been working in this region for two years and we offer a pretty unique proposition."

“We work in a purely advisory capacity. We don’t lend or underwrite, because that creates conflicts. We are sensitive to banking relationships. But we look to ensure financial flexibility for our clients.”

He was unwilling to discuss specific deals or clients, but says that he offers them “trusted, impartial financing advice any time day or night”. Baron Rothschilds tends to do more deals than their competitors, mainly because they are prepared to take on smaller mandates. “It’s not transactions were are interested in, it’s relationships. We are looking for good businesses and good people,” says Mr Reynolds. “Our ambition is for every company here to have a debt adviser.”

Baron Rothschild is reluctant to comment on his nephew Nat Rothschild’s public outburst against George Osborne, the British shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. Nat Rothschild castigated Mr Osborne for revealing certain confidences gleaned during a holiday in the summer in Corfu.

In what the British press are calling “Yachtgate”, the tale involved Russia’s richest man, Oleg Deripaska, Lord Mandelson, a controversial British politician who has just returned to government, Mr Osborne and a Rothschild. Classic tabloid fodder, but one senses that Baron Rothschild frowns on such publicity. “If you are an adviser, that imposes a certain style and culture,” he says. “You should never forget that clients want to hear more about themselves than their bankers. It demands an element of being sober.”

Even when not at work, Baron Rothschild’s tastes are sober. He lives between Paris and London, is a keen family man – he has one son who is joining the business next September and three daughters – an enthusiastic golfer, and enjoys the “odd concert”. He is also involved in various charity activities, including funding research into brain disease and bone marrow disorders.

It is part of Rothschild lore that its founder sent his sons throughout Europe to set up their own interlinked offices. So where would Baron Rothschild send his children today?

“I would send one to Asia, one to Europe and one to the United States,” he said. “And if I had more children, I would send one to the UAE.”

“We provide advice on both sides of the balance sheet, and we do it globally. There is no debate that Rothschild is a Jewish family, but we are proud to be in this region. However, it takes time to develop a global footprint.“

"Banks will deleverage and there will be a new form of global governance."

:: GOVERNMENT SHOULD STOP GEO TV NETWORK FROM TELECASTING BLASPHEMOUS PLAY ::

zaki.myc@hotmail.com (Zaki Khalid Iqbal) — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 04:16:00 +0000

On 13th October an ad sponsored by Geo TV network was printed on page 11 of The NEWS International (Lahore edition) about its upcoming plays for the next quarter. According to the ad Geo TV network would telecast a drama serial by the name of “Habibi Habiba” from 20th October. In this ad a man and a woman are shown to be dancing and holding each other while the text reads:

“Markazi khayal, mabni barqissa Hazrat Yousuf (A.S.)”(i.e. central theme taken from the story of Hazrat Yousuf (A.S.) )"

This is not the first time Geo network has aired programme attacking Islam and Muslims. It is the very network which provides daily air-time to Voice of America (VoA) for US propaganda. And it is the same network which proudly screens obscene Indian films in its bid to promote Hindu culture in Pakistan. All this is carried out under the watchful eye of the government and PEMRA (Pakistan’s Electronic Media Regulatory Authority) which shows that the network has full government support for its ongoing war on Islam and Muslims. However, the current act of Tauheen-e-Risalat (blasphemy) which is geared towards linking our sacred and holy Prophets with obscene plays and immoral pictures has surpassed all its previous ills. Does Geo think that it can openly commit these acts of blasphemy in a Muslims majority country? Do the owners and administrators of the Geo network have no fear of the punishment of the Day of Judgment? We demand from the government and PEMRA to stop Geo from airing this blasphemous drama serial. We want to make this clear to the rulers as well that Muslims will never allow Geo or any network to commit any act of Tauheen-e-Risalat (blasphemy) in Pakistan.

For those who don't know, basically, the Chabad Lubavitch is a worldwide organisation of Masonic Zionist Jews who follow on the footsteps of their leader "The Rebbe" Menachem M. Schneerson (pictured above).

The following is just one example of how these Zionists are infiltrating the economic education system in the West, particularly in the U.S. Click here to read the review from their own official website.

NOW HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF PROMINENT AMERICAN POLITICIANS WITH MEMBERS OF THE CHABAD LUBAVITCH:

U.N. : International Day of Democracy - Excuse Me??

zaki.myc@hotmail.com (Zaki Khalid Iqbal) — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:27:00 +0000

By Sharique Naeem

15th September, is the date declared by UN as International Day of Democracy. The UN invites all Member States, organizations, non-governmental organizations and individuals to commemorate this day in an appropriate manner that contributes to raising public awareness.

So let us do our part for some real awareness.

Irony at its best: The UN seeks to promote democracy, where as in structure as well as operational procedures, it fundamentally eschews the very notion it prides to preach. With the veto power residing in the handful of - imperial – members of the Security Council, the UN continues to prove to be a well crafted tool serving as an extension to the foreign policy of the western capitalist states.

It was used to consolidate Israel’s existence, yet when it comes to the brutal oppression unleashed on the Palestinians, it has only token condemnations resolutions of Israel to offer, which too get vetoed. It was quick to assist independence of East Timor, but when it comes to the plight of Kashmiris, it only has to offer a paper statement calling for right to self-determination, which on the ground has no effect; little wonder, that in the recent demonstrations held in Kashmir, one huge banner read, “Ban Ki-moon where are you?”

The UN gave a green signal to colonial powers, to conduct a rampage in Afghanistan, thereby shattering the lives of millions in one of the world’s poorest countries. And to add salt to the injury, it every now and then shows its abstract benevolence, by condemning civilian casualties.

For years, the UN sanctions devastated the lives of countless people in Iraq. And while the UN apparently extended its so called support through oil-for-food program, millions of Iraqi children died due to malnutrition and disease. The program itself later turned out to be a mere lucrative business venture for some in the seats at this international institution. Further UN was effectively utilized to undermine Iraq’s military strength, which subsequently paved the way for a swift US occupation of the oil rich region.

Today the evolving geopolitics has proven that when vested interests of powerful states contradict international laws, the former leads the way. In effect, global institutions, the likes of United Nations, are used to further hegemony of capitalist powers, and if they at any point act as a barrier, the rules are simply broken.Given such a track record of the UN, it’s of pinnacle importance for the Muslim world, to realize that placing its eggs in the UN-basket, will neither help them hatch nor boil. If the Muslim world genuinely seeks to solve the plethora of problems it faces - from Kashmir to Palestine - the only viable option for it is to reestablish a Caliphate.

The Caliphate, will serve as the much needed ‘Core-state’ of the Muslim civilization, the absence of which was highlighted as a significant drawback for the Muslim world, by Samuel P. Huntington in “Clash of Civilizations”. It will swiftly seek to unify Muslim lands, in order to effectively and collectively utilize its resources: minerals, human capital and military. And in pursuit of implementing, and projecting an alternative better model of governance, economics, and foreign policy etc, as emanating from the Islamic ideology, it will seek to dismantle both the influence and status of imperial capitalist tools like the UN, IMF and World bank etc. This will need both defiance and resilience; coupled with a focused campaign to expose the hypocritical nature of these international institutions towards the weak countries, Muslims and non-Muslims alike. This in turn will help muster support from other countries, such as those in Latin America, who share the same grievances against such imperial institutions.

Radically challenging to the current international status quo, the coming of such a state, and its unique political maneuvers is not idealistic romanticism; belittling it, however, is myopic generality akin to Francis Fukuyama's “End of History and the Last Man”(1992).The recent developments in the Russian conflict, gives an indicator towards the fault lines in alliance of developed countries as well as the limitness of the UN in the face of vested interests of powerful states. As retaliation to US backed Georgian aerial bombardment of Tskhinvali in South Ossetia, Russia aggressively responded. As the armed conflict subdued, Russia has made move towards official recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, two breakaway regions of Georgia. At the recent emergency summit in Brussels, although the 27 EU governments agreed to support Georgia. However political opinion remained divided on the issue of sanctions, as UK, advocated sanctions, where as Spain, Italy, and Germany opposed it; due to their own commercial and energy interests with Russia. The bottom line is, that only the pursuit of independent policies, ensures that any state achieves the fulfillment of its interests.

The reemergence of the Caliphate state, in the international theater, is the only way by which the Muslim world, can break free from the strings of the puppeteers that manipulate it; and hence, once again begin to write its own script , just as it once did for centuries.

MASONIC LODGES IN PAKISTAN : A Historical Analysis [Part I]

zaki.myc@hotmail.com (Zaki Khalid Iqbal) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:55:00 +0000

Would it be of any surprise to you if you found out that there are still some operational Masonic lodges here in Pakistan?

Well, as a matter of fact, this claim is a reality.

Though European Freemasonry already grabbed hold of the Indian area of the Subcontinent soil during the early part of the 18th century such as in Goa and Calcutta, it was not until a few decades afterwards that the first Masonic lodge found its home in Rawalpindi. The name of the lodge was "Light in the Himalayas" and it was under the headship of the notorious Grand Lodge of Scotland. For those who already have done research on this vast subject before, they might be familiar with the fact that Scotland is also known as the "Headquarters of Occultism". It's the very place wherein centuries ago, the Knights Templars or "Knights of the Temple of Solomon" found their home. The Knights were actually the descendants of the last remaining Crusader forces, who by the course of time distanced themselves far-off from the teachings of Christianity and started engaging in ultra-esoteric i.e. Satanic activities.

The first Grand Lodge of London had been formed circa 1716 C.E. In less than twenty years after that, Freemasonry found new homes in the Indian subcontinent. One of the most ancient overseas lodges was established in the city of Calcutta, present day India. It was named as the Order of the Star in the East, Lodge No. 67. According to authentic Masonic records of the Grand Lodge of U.K., the overseas movement of the English and Scottish Masonic lodges was strongest in South Africa, India and (pre-partition) Pakistan. The District Grand Lodge of Punjab was established somewhere near the end of the 18th century. Lord Horatio Herbert Kitchener, who was a British Army General and statesman, was a member of the British Union Lodge No. 114 in Ipswich, England. He had also maintained headship of the District Grand Lodge of Punjab before his retirement. [1]

This topic is extremely diverse and is spread over centuries of recorded events. Due to limited space and due relevance, I will restrict my research to pre-partition India and modern-day Pakistan.

Other famous lodges in Rawalpindi were the Stewart Lodge No. 1960 E.C. and the Black Mountain Lodge No. 1256. The former was under British headship and the latter was headed by a Scottish Grand Master. There is not enough information given about the Stewart lodge, but according to a Masonic traveller's blog, one of the previous Grand Masters of the Black Mountain lodge of Rawalpindi was a person by the name of Yogendra Prakash Suri. He had become a member of that lodge in 1946 and has been an active Mason ever since. Yogendra Prakash is currently a member of the Lodge Rock of Gwalior No. 16 in Jhansi, India. But that means even after independence, there were many lodges that were operating in the new homeland of Muslims. [2]

The Mughalite city of Lahore was also not free of sinister set-ups. One of the first lodges were set up here by Rudyard Kipling (world-famous author of "The Jungle Book") and his associates, which was known as the "Order of Hope & Perseverance No. 782". In my view and according to my basic assumption after careful geographical surfing through Google Earth, the Order of Hope & Perseverance was most probably either the lodge that was recently renovated by Shaukat Aziz near the Lahore Zoo to be used as his office or the former Shah Din Palace opposite Punjab Assembly Building which later came under British control and most probably got transformed into a Masonic lodge, as it's designs suggest, which feature stately Roman columns and pillars. The building is now owned by Bank Al-Falah Limited. Rudyard Kipling has also been recorded as often delivering lectures and contemporary Masonic speeches especially his famous speech on "Origin of the Craft First Degree" at another lodge in Lahore known as the Fidelity Mark Lodge after his Masonic rank was raised to that of "Mark Degree" on April 12, 1887 because of his special contributions and monetary fundings to the lodge. Amazingly on the same day, his membership degree was simultaneously also raised at a higher place at Mount Ararat Mark Mariners Lodge, also situated in Lahore [3].

This is what he had to say about his activities in Lahore. The following appeared in the London Times on January 16, 1925:

"I was Secretary for some years of Hope and Perseverance Lodge No. 782, E.C. Lahore which included Brethren of at least four creeds. I was entered by a member of Bramo Somaj, a Hindu; passed by a Mohammedan, and raised by an Englishman. Our Tyler was an Indian Jew. We met, of course, on the level, and the only difference anyone would notice was that at our banquets, some of the Brethren, who were debarred by caste from eating food not ceremonially prepared, sat over empty plates."
Now comes the interesting part. Not only the Freemasons, but their other most important subfaction, otherwise known as the "Royal British Order" known as the "Order of Rosicrucians" also established their centre here in Lahore. But it's control was given to the French offshoot of the organization which was aptly titled "Rosecroix (Rose-Cross) Chapter: The Rose of Lahore No. 28" [4]. Furthermore, what is even most interesting, is that despite being under French headship, the Grand Master of this lodge happened to be Scottish. "Rose-Cross" is a special symbolic meaning used to denote the so-called "fact" that a woman by the name of 'Mary Magdalene' had married Prophet Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) and bore children (Allah forbid). The family who claim to be their descendants are the famous "Sinclair" family of Europe who are also widespread in the U.S. on key positions. Now, this whole "Rose-Cross" phenomenon is based upon "Rosslyn (Rose-Line) Chapel" as mentioned in my previous article, which to this day houses centuries old dead Knights Templars and remains as a permanent symbol of Templar presence in the U.K. Dan Brown had based his "Da Vinci Code" upon these very assumptions.

An interesting point to be noted here is that the Sinclairs have an old history of friendship and close association with the Rothschild banking dynasty. My assumption here is that this is another direct proof that the Rothschilds had bases here in Pakistan before its partition and could most possibly have played direct or indirect influential roles in the Subcontinet's geopolitics.

People from Pakistan are very familiar with the famous NCA (National College of Arts), formerly known as the "Mayo College of Arts". Well, for your information, the first Principal of this historical institution was Lockwood Kipling, who coincidentally happens to be Rudyard Kipling's father. Lockwood Kipling was also at the same time the Curator of the Lahore Museum. This is what Wikipedia has to say:

"European designs in building and furniture and the rise of the furniture firms brought bad times for the Punjabi carpenter (i.e. Lockwood Kipling) once, reputed among the cleverest in the world."

Among the notable places wherein artistic/renovatory works were carried out by the institute's workers specifically in Pakistan include:

The Government House (Lahore)
Execution of decorative work including carpets and shamianas of gold thread and repusse metal work and designs for the Law and Oriental Colleges (Lahore)
Design and decorative work in plaster for the new Railway Theatre (Lahore)
A carved console table for Government House (Lahore)
An eight-canon stall for the Lefroy Memorial in Lahore Cantonment’s Church
Lockwood Kipling remained as the Principal between 1875-1894.
Rudyard Kipling had set the backdrop of the Lahore Museum for his novel 'Kim' [5].

Below is the link to a recent video excerpted from the Rogers TV archive. The most notable part of the video is where a specific individual Mr. Kamil Sadiq standing alongside his wife (Pakistani) and British Mason friends proudly and boldly announces (something like): "I feel proud to be the Grand Master of the District Grand Lodge of Pakistan"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnvzyFv143M&feature=related

Do you know what this means? Tthe video was recorded live in 2007. So that means even at that time, the Freemasons were active in Pakistan. I believe that this person Kamil Sadiq is related to the very same Nazir Bhatti of the Pakistan Christian Congress of whom I have mentioned in detail in my previous article 'Masonic Uprising In Pakistan' and hence is another mastermind behind destabilizing Pakistan. Allah Knows Best!

To Be Continued...

Insha'Allah Part II of this topic will be compiled and uploaded soon.

zaki.myc@hotmail.com (Zaki Khalid Iqbal) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:41:00 +0000

There are ongoing speculations nowadays on the Internet, regarding the issue whether the Quaid (Muhammad Ali Jinnah) was a Freemason. And believe me, I myself have been doing extensive thorough research on this topic for quite some time now.

It is a fact that during his teenage youth the Quaid had gone to the U.K. for higher studies. And he graduated with distiction from Lincoln's Inn, later to be called to the bar at 11 Kings Bench Walk during his stay at Hampstead. The Quaid, while still in the U.K., had also eagerly joined the notorious "Fabian Society", a reformist-Socialist party whose members included Freemasons George Bernard Shaw and Annie Besant, to name a few. In fact, the official Theosophical Order of Service in Pakistan records that the Quaid was so deeply inspired and influenced by Besant that he called her as "Amma" (mother) [Source: The Theosophical Order of Service, Karachi, Pakistan. Managed by Jamshed Mirza]

Annie Besant was world-renowned Theosophist and the founder of Co-Freemasonry, an irregular branch of Masonry which included participation of women equally with men in all the rituals and rites that the Order possessed. Annie Besant was herself influenced by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, the "Black Woman" (black in the sense of character) who wrote the esoteric voluminous works such as "Isis Unveiled" and "The Secret Doctrine".

I believe that the Quaid, being a man of great knowledge and repute as we do consider him to be, must have known about the gathering in which he was. But it is notable to mention here that he soon parted ways with Besant, some years after she had formed the Home Rule League in India, an exact subcontinental replica of the Irish Home League which she also very repeatedly supported.

Did the Quaid not know what sort of woman Annie Besant was? Probably he realised this later and hence, as mentioned earlier, parted ways with her.

We'll go a little bit more back in history from here to the time when the Quaid was struggling to get Dadabhoy Naoroji elected as an MP at Central Finsbury. Naoroji was not only an orthodox Parsi priest ("Athurman") but also had written various volumes of work on Zoroastrian history and wisdom [Source: Wikipedia]. He was also a Freemason, member of both Lodge Southern Brotherhood No. 3311 E.C. and the Lodge South Cannanore No. 234.

There's little chance of the Quaid having known of Naoroji's Masonic connections because even in those days, such identities were extremely hidden and secret, away from public knowledge, only to be rarely discovered in the same years or in the coming future.

The Quaid included among his friends Mr. Ebrahim Currimbhoy, another Freemason and member of the Lodge Cannanore No. 234.

It is a little known fact that the Quaid was a Khoja Ismaili by birth, which means his spiritual leader i.e. Imam was the Agha Khan. In those days, it was Sir Sultan Muhammad Shah Agha Khan. And again interestingly enough, the Agha Khan of that time was a member of the Grand Lodge of India A.F. & A.M. (Bombay). Though accounts of the Quaid's driver Abdul Hayy do state that he was not a very religious Muslim, there is a good reason to believe that somehow or the other the Quaid must have been influenced by his "Imam". There was a case upon which I stumbled a few months ago, wherein it was stated that upon the Quaid's death, Fatima Jinnah had gone to the Court to get the Quaid's wealth divided according to Ismaili Law. She was assisted by Liaquat Ali Khan. But like the present Iqbal Waljee, some other Waljee (probably the present's ancestor) at the time had rejected such an act because according to him "Jinnah had converted to Sunni Islam in 1901" and hence his Will could not have been announced according to Jafari jurisprudence. Allah Knows Best!

This case alone is interesting because we all know that the Agha Khan was the only Muslim leader who was given the Guard of Honor and the Royal Salute by the British Army because of his countless services to the British Raj. So then why would a faithful Britisher want to, on the other hand, help in the formation of Pakistan which was totally against the British interests? What benefits did he foresee which led to his being elected as the first President of the Muslim League and as the Chairman of the team that went to meet Lord Minto? Allah Knows Best.

When the Ali Brothers (Maulana Johar Ali & Maulana Shaukat Ali) started the Khilafat Movement in 1919, with the 'helpful assistance' of Mohandas Gandhi, the Quaid was personally opposed to the "religious fanaticism" that followed and though he still admired the British progress, he in part remained neutral because at the end it was a matter of the Muslim Ummah as a collective whole, not just a nation-state (Turkey) that was at stake, with the "Hijaz-e-Muqaddas" (Sacred/Holy Sites) in danger of being controlled or demolished (Allah forbid) by the Imperialist regime of Britain and her Allies.

It was Allama Sir Dr. Muhammad Iqbal who had written quite many letters of persuasion to the Quaid to come to India:

"I know you are a busy man but I do hope you won't mind my writing to you often, as you are the only Muslim in India today to whom the community has right to look up for safe guidance through the storm which is coming to North-West India and, perhaps, to the whole of India."

The Quaid's repeated links with the Zoroastrians of India is also interesting. His wife Rattanbai was a Parsi who had converted to Islam before marriage. The man who the Quaid had helped for a long time was a Parsi intellect (Dadabhoy). And it was the Quaid's own daughter Dina who had married Dinshaw Vadia, the son of a renowned Parsi industrialist of India.

Anyways, whatver the cases filed may be, no one can disprove the facts that not only countless Muslims had to go through lots of troubles and bloodshed, even the Quaid himself along with his family had to endure seams of harassment and criticism because they were destined to create an Islamic state of Pakistan.

We can never truly realize or feel the immense amount of pressure and blackmail that the Quaid must have faced form the Britishers and the West, especially from the Israeli lobbies and the Jews. Lord Balfour must have surely gone mad when an Islamic state by the name of "Pakistan" came into formation a year before that of a Jewish state!

And it was the Quaid himself who said that Israel was "the illegitimate child of the West". Such was the Quaid's passion. Similarly on Liaquat Ali Khan, this is what Wikipedia has to say:

According to a document declassified in 2006, USA was involved in the killing of Liaqat Ali Khan, then prime minister of Pakistan. Liaqat Ali Khan had refused to dance on US tunes. The type of bullet used to kill the Pakistani prime minister were in "use by high-ranking American officers", and were "not usually available in the market" [Reference: "Declassified Papers Shed Light on US Role in Liaquat's Murder" by Syed Rashid]

Furthermore, when Liaquat Ali Khan had gone to the States and had been given a lavish reception by the Jewish leaders and also great offers and invitations, he straight-forwardly refused and rejected all of them.

Even though I'm a Sunni Muslim and the Quaid was an Ismaili and Liaquat Ali Khan was also a Sunni, I believe in Allah's Potency to do anything whenver He Wants. Thorugh the astound personalities of the Quaid and Liaquat Ali Khan, Allah gave a sea of blessings to the Muslims of the time, even to us. It is Allah Who let us create a nation state in the name of Islam, so that in the future the Army of Imam Mahdi can rise from here too, apart from Afghanistan (Allah Knows Best). That age was surely one in which sectarian outlook was not the sight of the leaders... the true "General" Islam was the light by which those men saw.

And as far as I'm concerned, to be very honest, I have not come across a single source which has definite provocative proof that the Quaid was a Freemason. He had truly felt motivated to furthermore spearhead the Muslim Community's aims to establish a nation state in the name of Islam. All the Masonic hierarchies are bound to the Grand Masonic Arch in Israel i.e. Zionists. And if the Quaid were a Freemason, would his fellow "Obedient Brothers" have allowed him to create a state that was fundamentally opposed to Zionist interests? I don't think so.

And Allah Knows Best.

IMPORTANT CORRIGENDUM:

I regret mentioning that Shaheed-e-Millat (Martyr of the Nation) Liaquat Ali Khan was a Shi'a. He was a devout and disciplined Sunni Muslim. Wikipedia had mentioned earlier that L.A. Khan adhered to the Shi'a thought, which I never bothered confirming. Though they had this piece of info removed later on. Anyways, L.A. Khan's grandson corrected me, for which I am indeed very thankful, and apologise again. May Allah Grant Jannah to both Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Shaheed-e-Millat Liaquat Ali Khan. Aameen!

MASONIC UPRISING IN PAKISTAN

NAZIR BHATTI & THE CHRISTIAN/MASONIC UPRISING IN PAKISTAN : Propagandas and Real Intentions
An Analysis
By Zaki Khalid

For decades now, the Christian community of Pakistan has been wailing and crying over acts of “exploitation” and “abuse” that have been instigated against them by some “radical forces”. These allegations are very often true and I must confess that some of us Muslims do occasionally take advantage of our majority-status, but recent unfoldings from history and the present have got something else to say: a very sinister plot that is in the making by Nazir Bhatti and gang.

I do not believe in any kind of biased hatred, or any hatred at all, towards any religion. It is only a selected few of the hierarchy, who don’t actually represent the religion’s interests, against whom I raise my voice. For Allah The Almighty states in The Qur’an:

“Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant” [Al-Maeda]

Before we advance any further, it is important that the readers have a brief understanding of who the Knights Templars are. Their relevance to the topic will be discussed onwards.

THE PAST:

In 1099 C.E. when Pope Urban II had declared an all-out Crusade against the Muslims and Jews in Palestine, some of the men among those who were fighting included specific people who labeled themselves as the “Poor Soldiers of the Army of Jesus”. Later on, these were the very people who renamed themselves as the “Knights Templars” or “Knights of the Temple of Solomon”. They were heretic and as time passed, after their successful and bloody conquest of Jerusalem, they created an enclave beneath the Dome of the Rock. There, they started practicing black magic, other forms of sorcery, paid tributes to Lucifer i.e. Iblees, uttered mystical words most possibly from the books of the Kabbalah (so-called Judaic Sufism) and sacrificed animals and humans for their dark rituals and rites. Most disgusting of all is the fact that these very people also were heavily engaged in the filthy acts of sodomy. They occasionally hosted orgies and sexual functions of the like.

In 1314 Pope Clement V declared all the Templars as heretics to Christianity ordering all their properties to be seized. Their nefarious leader, Jacques de Molay, was captured and burnt at the stake. After these events, these Knights Templars went underground, working only from the shadows of others. A time came when Robert The Bruce, who was then a freedom-fighter for the independence of Scotland from England took advantage of the Templars’ tactics and sinister profile. He called upon the Templars to ally themselves with him and in turn avail the open opportunity to defeat the English. And so, the Templars did ally with the Scots and their meagre army of 6500 men shamefully defeated the grand English Army that comprised of 25,000 men at the time. But that was not it. They established control over the whole monarchy through secretive means and deployed their own men on high positions of the aristocracy. From that moment onwards, they have been burying all their deceased members at Rosslyn Chapel (pronounced ‘Rose-line Chapel), which to this day stands as a grand symbol of their everlasting presence in the U.K. From their stared the Order of the Rosicrucians, a sub-faction of the “Freemasons” another new secretive name these people had chosen for themselves later on.

The death of Queen Elizabeth I left the English Throne without an heir (successor). So upon bloodline basis, it was King James V who was destined to become the King of England. He was form Scotland. That meant the total control of the Freemasons (those same Knights Templars) was on the Throne.

LETTER OF ALBERT PIKE TO MAZZINI, 1871

Albert Pike was an American Civil War General and also the founder of Scottish Rite Freemasonry in the US. It was he who had sent a detailed letter to Italian General Giuseppe Mazzini in which he had stated how World War III was to be created. In his own words:

"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion...We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."
[Ref: “Occult Theocracy” by Edith Star Miller”]

The above quotation was noted also by famous writer and Ex-Navy Officer William Guy Carr, most noted for his voluminous work “Pawns in The Game”.

So what we see here is that these agentur have no concern in mind for Christianity at all too. We come to realize at the end is that all these hierarchies have no connection to any sort of religion at all, because their whole belief and power of the occult is based upon atheism. Paradoxically, that atheism does believe in an entity… and that is Lucifer (Iblees).

The Christian and Muslim representatives of the elite class, if not all then some, are not sincere or devoted to the so-called “religion” that they claim to represent. No wonder that the Western media outlets, 90% of which are controlled by Jews, always show demoralizing and demeaning video of certain Catholic priests who are known to be pedophiles for decades. All the Popes who ever came after Pope Urban II were deployed by the Knights Templars themselves. The Vatican is also called as one of the main centres of Freemasonry.

RELATION TO PAKISTAN
Now comig to the point, Nazir Bhatti, who is the editor of the Pakistan Christian Post, is Pakistan’s “First Knight of the Grand Priory of Pakistan of the Knights Templars of Scotland”. If you do not believe this, you can visit the website yourself: www.pakistanchristianpost.com

Furthermore, old and new editions of the Christian Post also feature registration cards at the end for “members to join the Grand Priory”. Below is an eerie and conspicuous excerpt taken form the “International Social Pulse” magazine, dated October 2006:

"TRIAL OF PAKISTAN CHRISTIAN NATION"
Following is the fact that Dr. Bhatti is inviting converted Muslims to join Grand Priory of Pakistan of Knights Templar of Scotland by filling the Forms at the end of this page.

But first read about Knights Templar. Nazir Bhatti ranked as First Knight From Pakistan and appointed as Grand Prior of Grand Priory of Pakistan. Nazir Bhatti to be first Knight and Grand Prior of Grand Priory of Pakistan of Knights Templar of Scotland order. PCP Report.
Scotland. March 7. The five Scottish Knights Templar who shall convene Mr. Bhatti, a Knight by proxy to be a member of the clan, William McGrath, shall knight Mr. Nazir s Bhatti, Editor of Pakistan Christian Post and Founder of Pakistan Christian Congress in a ceremony at Linlithgow Palace in Scotland tomorrow.

Mr. Nazir s Bhatti shall be installed as the Grand Prior of the Grand Priory of Pakistan with the rank of knight Grand Officer. This was announced by Chev. James Reese, The knight and Knight Grand Officer of the Grand Priory of the USA. Chev. Reese further stated that the Grand Prior have sanctioned installation of Mr. Nazir s Bhatti as Knight who is General of our Order, His Sovereign Excellency James P. McGrath, who is also Secretary General of the Confederation of Scottish Knights Templar. The Cross of the Order will be given to Mr. Bhatti after the noon of Saturday, tomorrow, blessed by his sovereign excellency James P. McGrath in a recreated ceremony here in USA shortly.

In a message to Mr. Nazir s Bhatti "I offer you my heartiest congratulations . . . many are called, but few are chosen. You, Brother Nazir, have been brought to us by the Holy Spirit, and you have been justified by faith" Chev. Reese said The message further read " We are all lovers of peace, but know that you are now a part of a Christian Order that could not be destroyed by any foe. May your fellow Christians take heart that the Templar banner will now fly in Pakistan"? In a message to Mr. Nazir S Bhatti, The Chevalier Rev. Lehman Smith, KCTJ, Secretary, Priory of the Holy Angels said, "What an important post and responsibility you now have in your homeland. You have been thrusted in a hot LZ for Christians and I pray that your new post will be successful and safe! I would like to extend a warm welcome to our old order and my assistance to you whenever you need it. You are not alone; you are surrounded by close brethren in pursuit of a common cause”
[Source: http://www.cephasministry.com/news_pulse_10.2006.html]

Now these events have been clearly unfolding now, two years after his coronation. I would also like to focus your attention to another interesting letter written by a certain convert “John Taimoor”, who is the founder of a California-based ministry known as “Crossbearers”. It was addressed to Nazir Bhatti and published on their Christian Post website. Carefully read the excerpts below:

“Gradually and progressively, I understood the plan of God and experienced the power of His Holy Spirit. Then the Master said, "Claim Pakistan for Me for I died to ransom every Pakistani at the Cross." He showed me the unseen powers and principalities that had held the Pakistani people captive. Nowhere on earth Satan and his demons exert such a powerful control. It is Pakistan where the Devil is in details."

"Biblically speaking, Pakistan is ready for the harvest. Evangelistically speaking, the harvest is for short period. We must harvest now or else it will go bad. PTL for God has chosen us, you and me for the harvest time such as this.”

“Islamacising has failed. This nation is gone in to a decaying mode. So called moderate Islamic government of Musharaf is replaced by by the fanatic feudal lords, Nawabs and Pirs, setting stage for more intense spiritual warfare. Thanks in part to shortsighted diplomacy and abundant investment of Americans and European marketers. Spiritual warfare in Pakistan is not only an option but urgent but imminent. The anarchy and Mullacracy will collapse when we, the redeemed recognize who we are in Christ and depend on Divine recourses!”

“The visions of the Lord are usually for the appointed time. The hour of Christ's vision for Pakistan has come. This realization is taking place and its fulfillment has begun”
[Source: http://www.pakistanchristianpost.com/lettertoeditor.php]

According to a poll on the same website which is still underway, about 85% of Christians and other groups demand a separate Christian province, to be formed at the south-western area of Punjab, as propounded by Nazir Bhatti in his letter to the UNO.

Philadelphia: July 24, 2008: Nazir S Bhatti, Founder President of Pakistan Christian Congress urged Pakistan Armed Forces to end operation in Balochistan and act against religious extremists in tribal areas who are challenged to writ of government.

Mr. Bhatti added, “It is need of time to divide Pakistan in federal units of Balochistan, Sindh, Seraki, Pushtoon, Hazara and Christian provinces”

“Christian Separate Province in south western parts of Punjab is only solution to save Pakistan” Bhatti said.

Where Nazir Bhatti so very boldly declared all his plans and ideas to the mass public, he also stated:

“Christians support Baloch nation of their right of self-determination and demands of Seraki, Pushtoon and Hazara nations rights and expect their moral support for Separate Christian Province”

Frankly speaking, that saying of Nazir Bhatti was actually a propaganda threat. Could the leader of the Christian Community of Pakistan be behind the support of all the so-called “liberation movements” that are ever-increasing among the Balochis and Saraikis? Allah Knows Best!

Keep this fact in mind that Nazir Bhatti had also personally interviewed Mir Azaad Khan Baloch. To underline some of the ongoing propagandas on behalf of the Paksitan Christian Congress, kindly go through this “poem” written by the PCC to the Baloch leadership:

A Salute to the Tiger of Balochistan. By Ahmar Mustikhan

We Salute you Shaheed-i-Balochistan, Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti

You paid back with your blood whatever debts you owed

The Bhambore Hills is drenched in blood, silent, painted red

The Baloch cubs miss the roar of the Tiger of Balochistan

Dr Shazia mourns in London as rapist Captain Hammad dances, Allahu Akbar

Cluster bombs silenced the hero brave, despot Musharraf toasts GHQ

From Islamabad temples of darkness the death call comes, Allahu Akbar

Kill the Tigers of Balochistan they are agents of Hindus, Christians and Jews

Soldiers of darkness who chant the slogan of hate, Allahu Akbar

The battle cry of terror from Jerusalem, New York, Kashmir to Kohlu

Shame on you cowards, Islamist Terror Army of Pakistan;

Soldiers of Islam who believe Kill Jews, Christians, Hindus and Tigers of Balochistan

In the name of God, the Jihadists dream to rule the world, Allahu Akbar

Leave our country now, it belong to the Tigers of Balochistan

Where`s my Tigress Indira, where`s my Aurora? Butchers of Bengal have shifted base

The rapist Jihadi soldiers have forgotten the ignonimy of defeat in Dhaka

Not shed in vain, the blood of Bugti is now an ink of history

To cut the chain of slavery, to mark the end of night with dawn of freedom

Nazir Bhatti later commented: “We are with our Baloch brethren to remember our martyrs Nawab Akbar Bughti, Nawab Nauroz Khan Zarakzai and thousands who sacrificed for Balochistan”

“Pakistani Christians support struggle of Baloch nation for right of self-determination and to be master of their land and its natural resources”

Just imagine their sick mentality and mindset concerning Muslims. They are targeting general Muslims as well.

After going through all the material above, I hope you have got a good glimpse of what is taking place and what is under the making for the future in Pakistan. All these latest suicide bombings and blasts are mostly, if not all, according to my view, being carried out by the Baloch Liberation Organization and related parties. It is probably not their fault but most are furiously instigated and “mind-fed” by the agents of the PCC, who are giving them false support. Allah Knows Best!

All I can say is that as mentioned above, I believe MASONIC CONTROL IS AT RISING IN PAKISTAN at a very abrupt pace. May Allah Protect Us All. Aameen!

Something Fishy About The GEO TV Network

zaki.myc@hotmail.com (Zaki Khalid Iqbal) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:02:00 +0000

The ever-booming media industry in Pakistan is making progresses and advancements by leaps and bounds, owing to the fact that their constant hot-cake national issues are being highly projected in the Western media (CNN, BBC...) in a way that makes one think "Oh, was it really that bad?"

What I am about to state forth is a short unbiased article whose purpose is not to degrade, humiliate or distort the profiles of the individuals/organization mentioned, but rather to instigate possible formulated theories on their comparisons in every reader's mind, using the information properly acquired with the help of organs of sight and sound.

SOMETHING NEW RELATED TO THE GEO TELEVISION NETWORK
After completing Class XI in college (mid 2007), I decided to engage myself in a suitable occupation at some multinational or atleast well-reputed company. I didn't have any graduate degrees with me but with the references of my elder cousin brother, I soon got a job at a legal-services firm by the name of "The Western Standard" situated in Cavalry Ground, Lahore. I was to work only 2 weeks there as a legal transcripter.

What I came to know directly during this short period, was that the owner of that firm (my boss) was a very nice individual by the name of Dr. Amir. What's so cool about him? Well, turns out he is one of the children of GEO TV's owner. GEO also has shares in stock markets. Obviously, if one purchases 51% of the shares of a particular company, he's practically it's owner and hence obviously he gets to direct its future policies and business handling techniques. Same was the case with Dr. Amir. By the course of time, his father had bought more than 51% of GEO's shares and hence became it's owner.

After careful questioning every now and then, I got to learn more about his personality. He was a slim person, sporting a French beard, with a bald head and tons and tons of wealth. Though he never boasted about his richness in front of me and the other employees.

Dr. Amir was not a medical doctor. He had obtained his Doctorate in International Business & Marketing from the London Metropolitan University years back. Because of knowledge since Matriculation days about the nefarious activities of the secret Freemasons and their associated societies, I questioned him regarding the Freemasons, to which he coolly replied to me with the following words: "You know what, some of my best colleagues and friends in the University were Freemasons themselves".

This statement had shocked me till the nerve, but today as I write this little article, I come to realise that it isn't necessary that if a person has Masons as friends, he's a Mason too or he's influenced by them. But anyways, the thought was constantly encroaching on my mind that I had to investigate more.

I came to know, furthermore, that his elder sister was the Managing Director of the GEO Network based in Islamabad. In those days, the news was still hot that "POLICE ENTERED AND BOMBARDED GEO TV'S ISLAMABAD OFFICE". I asked Dr. Amir a few days later about the whole incident. He replied again, in that cool tone: "The Government and Musharraf compensated us for the loss by paying us lots of money" To which I replied: "Is that it? You agreed just at that one point?" He nodded and shrugged hopelessly, which suggested to me that the whole incident was just some kind of a topi drama (false-play) aimed at "stupidizing" (a new word I've coined) the masses. A few days, I came to know that Dr. Amir's younger sibling was planning to launch a kids channel by the name of "Wikkid TV".

These are just some memory imprints. I can only guess what the real intentions of GEO are. Anyways, Allah Knows Best!

P.S. After a few days, I felt uncomfortable and decided on not going to the office thereafter.

EDUCATIONAL BRAINWASHING (Carefully Selected Syllabi)

zaki.myc@hotmail.com (Zaki Khalid Iqbal) — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 21:24:00 +0000

AN ODD CHOICE FOR A HERO

As some of you may know, after reading my profile, I am going to graduate from Class XII (Engineering), Insha'Allah. I am doing a Faculty of Science in Engineering.

Apart from the usual bores of Physics, Maths and Chemistry, obviously we also have to learn English. Alhamdulillah, I don't have any kind of problems with my syllabi, which is quite diverse, but interesting...

The compilation of selected stories for our English Reader book was undertaken by the Punjab Textbook Board, Lahore, the highest-ranking academic board in Pakistan with respect to it's pioneering efforts to "spread teachings of all kind".

The book has been divided in two segments: Stories/Essays and Heroes. Interestingly, the second chapter in the book is an essay titled "Using the Scientific Method".

The chapter basically outlines the fact that science "...is solely responsible for creating easiness and benefits of all kinds in daily life, such as sanitation, better food, technology, etc.". I must agree with the basic claim, but come on, does science in any way teach man the basic moralities so urgently required for today's morally-decaying world? No!
I, for one, can understand the intent for publishing such essays... brainwashing!

I don't care if I seem to sound ridiculous or overly conspicuous, but the harsh reality is a reality after all. The global elite, via the "United Nations", is trying to infiltrate through the world's educational syllabi, especially of those in the "third world countries", and shove in useless yet mind-tackling mixture and combination of words to appall the average reader. Some of my fellow collegiates, who are coming to terms for the first time with such complicated English, are amazed by the services that science has given to man.

'Amazing!" said one, "this means that we are getting to learn about the modern methods used in America!"

America, America... I don't know what is so "grandeur" in the US. Sure, it is a portion of us very Pakistanis who try to flock like sheep in line to immigrate themselves there, but why? Is money all that's left? Anyways, let's come back to the main issue of concern. Forgive me for drifting here every now and then.

MUSTAFA KAMAL - The "Great Reformer"

If you'd have asked me 5 years ago about Mustafa Kamal, I would have replied in my early-teen age-of-no-knowledge that he was a very admirable and great Muslim hero. But now after reading in detail of what he did and how he did it, and especially why he did so, I can feel ever more of so much hatred and sickness towards him than ever.
The "Heroes" section of our book has a specific lengthy chapter by the title mentioned in bold just above.
Now, in what way was Mustafa Kamal a great reformer? To introduce a new script and style of pronunciation, to banish and ban the veil, to remove the Arabic script, to prohibit the sporting of beards, to prohibit the recitation of The Qur'an in public, to introduce secularism... what points of him are commendable? For some elite class Turks, he represents the "Ataturk" i.e. Father of the Turks. But for those like Hamza, Ali, Uthman, he is something else. They were three of a group of 10 or 11 men who had come to Pakistan from Turkey to get moral and religious training at the Tablighi Jamaat's central headquarters in Raiwind, Lahore.

I had a most wonderful experience of meeting with them and having a conversation in some good detail for about an hour. I won't mention the basic talks, but when I asked them how they felt about Turkey's present i.e. as a secular state, they gloomly replied that the situation is worse than ever before. They wailed at how they get harassed by the state police for sporting long beards (like our Prophet (SAW)) and for reciting The Qur'an out loud. They also get stared upon as "weirdos" whenever they invite others to pray with them in a congregation. Such is the condition.
Let me relate to you another event as related to me by a cousin who went to Turkey to take part in an inter-country football tournament. He was representing Pakistan, and coincidentally was sporting a beard. And most incidentally, so were the majority of his other fellow players. He told me that he practically had to wait for a whole hour in the airport terminal in Turkey because they were "suspicious" of his beard! Imagine! The once Seat of World Caliphate is now withering in it's own fate!

Chillingly, the highly-reactive and up-to-date Turkish national state force and the Army are reminiscent of a not-so-distant Israeli counterpart. Both are similar in the sense that Israel attacks the Palestians, and the Turks attack the Kurds. Both armies practically control their respective nations. The Army has full monopolies in every major and minor field, just like the Israelis do. To be noted that the Israeli Army and the Knesset are practically the same thing. Israel is not a state with an army but rather an army with a state.

Now, how did radical ideology come about in Turkey? The answer is now getting ever more vididly comprehended. Let's forget about the concept of secularism for a while, as we Muslims know that separating religion from state is totally prohibited in Islam and is an act of taghoot (wicked disobedience) against Allah. It is only He Who is The Ruler of all The Worlds, hence only He is the Most Knowledgable and All-Wise, only He can provide the best system of governance (deen) for a particular world, like ours, which is nothing but a tiny speck of dust compared to the other endless worlds that are unknown to us and that exist out there. I'm not referring to galaxies, constellations... I'm referring to worlds.

Who was Mustafa Kamal? How did this average soldier and front-runner in the Army rise to such a high degree? As mentioned a bit in our syllabus, we are told that he was appointed by Sultan Abdul-Hameed II himself to take a deputation and visit the Allied Forces. But then, why did Kamal decide on betraying the Caliph? What was the reason behind this treachery... the answer lies deep in the scary dark, too monstrous and amazingly evil in proportions too tell, much of it still largely hidden... but here's a brief summary...

He was another wretched Freemason. [1] He was a "Doenmeh" Jew (a rebellious and activist Jew) who had hidden himself under the guise of Islam, just like his ancestors who were given shelter by the then Caliph himself. But who was to know what this Jew had in mind.

A Spanish Jew by ancestry, an orthodox Moslem by birth and breeding, trained in a German war college, a patriot, a student of the campaigns of the world's great generals, including Napoleon, Grant and Lee - these are said to be a few outstanding characteristics in the personality of the new "Man on Horseback" who has appeared in the Near East. He is a real dictator, the correspondents testify, a man of the type which is at once the hope and fear of nations torn to pieces by unsuccessful wars. Unity and power have come back to Turkey largely through the will of Mustafa Kemal Pasha....... There was the pasha himself, tall, still young, good-looking, narrow-hipped, wide-shouldered, with gray, rather sad eyes that spoke eloquently of his Spanish-Jewish ancestry - for Kemal, like Enver Pasha, tho an orthodox Moslem, is descended from those Spanish-Jewish families that, given by Christianity the tolerant choice between death, conversion and exile, found asylum and happiness in the Sultan's domains - and with strong, high-veined hands, broad and flat across the wrist - the hands of an artist, a dreamer, yet, too, those of a doer, a man who knows how to clout his dreams into facts. [2]

.....This was the origin of the most important group, numerically and historically, of Islamic Marranos. The faithful Mohammedans call these hidden Jews "doenmehs", the renegades. ..... Over the years the "doenmeh" movement became firmly established in Asia Minor. In the nineteenth century the sect was estimated to have twenty thousand members. Salonika remained its main seat until that city became Greek in 1913.The revolt of the Young Turks in 1908 against the authoritarian regime of Sultan Abdul Hamid began among the intellectuals of Salonika. It was from there that the demand for a constitutional regime originated. Among the leaders of the revolution which resulted in a more modern government in Turkey were Djavid Bey and Mustafa Kemal. Both were ardent "doenmehs". Djavid Bey became minister of finance; Mustafa Kemal became the leader of the new regime and he adopted the name of 'Ataturk'. His opponents tried to use his "doenmeh" background to unseat him, but without success. Too many of the Young Turks in the newly formed revolutionary Cabinet prayed to Allah, but had as their real prophet Shabtai Zvi, the Messiah of Smyrna. [3]

Here is an article from the Israeli daily Haaretz:

By Orly HalpernAubrey Ross is an unusual man with an unusual pastime. He's looking for Jewish Muslims. In Turkey. With the help of the Internet. And he's convinced he has found some.In a book entitled "The Messiah of Turkey," due to be published this winter by Frank Cass Publishers in Great Britain, Ross reveals that there are a number of key figures in the present government of Turkey who are Sabbateans - i.e., followers of Shabbtai Tzvi, a Jew who, in the 17th century, claimed he was the messiah, God of Israel, and later converted to Islam.Ross, an Orthodox Jew from London who has lectured on mysticism at Hebrew University in Jerusalem - but has university degrees in economics and the history of political thought, and is an adviser on pensions at the National Health Service in Great Britain - became intrigued by the subject when he was reading the chapter about false messiahs in Gershom Scholem's "Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism.""I was fascinated by a short sentence that said `many of them were still around in 1970,'" he says.Shabbtai Zvi was born in Izmir, Turkey in 1625 and became a Muslim in the 1660s, Ross explains, when he was challenged by the sultan of Turkey for declaring that his mission as messiah was to take back the land of Israel, then under Ottoman rule. The sultan offered him three alternatives: make a miracle and become the true messiah of the Jews; be killed; or become a Muslim. Shabbtai Tzvi chose the latter."Shabbtai Tzvi embraced Islam," he says, "and that would be the end of the story, but he claimed that his embrace was different than Jesus' crucifixion: He was entering the `dark world' to bring life into it. His followers called this the `sacredness of sin' and quoted Isaiah 53: `The messiah will suffer.'"Adds Ross: "Anyway, most people say the messiah will suffer - leading the Jewish people is not easy!"After Shabbtai Tzvi's death, he relates, his family and followers moved to Salonika. When Greece took it over in 1924, descendants of that community returned to Turkey.Underground kabbalist colleges"I wasn't satisfied with the sentence about many of them being around in 1970," Ross says. "I went to a lady professor of kabbala in London who insisted (the Sabbateans) were a 17th-century phenomenon that faded away in the early part of the 20th century. I said I don't think they did. Then a friend introduced me to Naim Tucsin, a Turkish Muslim professor of politics at London University, who told me he would contact an editor of an Istanbul newspaper who is a Jew and ask him about it. Six months later, I got a phone call from the editor, saying `come to Istanbul.'"He traveled to Istanbul and stayed at the Pier Palace Hotel. One day, Ross "was taken to the office of a Muslim gentleman. I sat down, was given coffee and he asked me, `What do you know about `tiferet' (glory)?' The significance of the term represents an entire kabbalistic structure in which tiferet is the God of Israel."Ross, who is also warden of Hendon United Synagogue, one of the largest in London, decided four years ago to write a book about his discoveries. He began learning Turkish and traveled twice to Turkey: "I penetrated the Sabbatean structure. I met with the president of the Sabbatean community. They were at the point of showing me one of their secret synagogues, but got scared."He explains that "the Sabbateans believe that God is the creator of the world, but has underneath his authority the God of Israel. I discovered there are 50 `ogans' - spiritual leaders - of the Sabbatean movement. They have trained in 12 kabbalistic colleges in Turkey, which are underground. They are experts in the Zohar, in `Sefer Bahir' and `Sefer Yetsira,' prominent kabbalistic works which are accepted and respected by Orthodox Jews, but not revered (to the same extent). They also know the Five Books of Moses, the Prophets and other writings, but very little or no Talmud as this had been transcended by Shabbtai Tzvi."According to Ross, the secretive Sabbatean community, with an estimated 20,000 members, is known to security forces in Turkey, but not to the general public. Most of them live in Istanbul in large blocks of luxury flats in the Shishli Jewish quarter - unbeknownst to their neighbors."It's like a well-known secret. But the Sabbateans don't want to be exposed. I have been asked by four members of the community not to publish my book. They fear reactions from extreme Islamic elements."To help substantiate his claims, Ross brought to Israel one of the members of the community who was willing to "come out of the closet" in order to be converted formally by rabbis: "Ilgaz Zorlu is his name. But the rabbis (in Israel) said he can't be converted because he doesn't accept all of the Talmudic law. They accepted that he knows more kabbala than they do. He prays; he practices Conservative Judaism. But, he's not bothered about Talmud so they said he had to do a nine-month conversion."Meanwhile, Zorlu, a young accountant from Istanbul, has written his own book, which is mostly historical in nature. Entitled "Yes, I am a Salonikan," it has been printed six times.Ross believes that there are a number of secret Sabbateans who hold key positions of influence in the Turkish parliament, legislature and executive branches of government, including the foreign minister himself. This, he observes, may help explain the close relations that exist today between Israel and Turkey. [4]

From Wikipedia:

Mustafa Kamal was a Freemason who was an initiate of the Macedonia Risorta Lodge No. 80, Thessaloniki.
I leave it up to you to decide on whether we should be opening our arms towards the Turkish government or not. But here, I reserve no sort of hatred towards the true Turkish Muslims including the likes of Mr. Harun Yahya, because they are brothers of ours, and are as respectable as our our nationals. Could this all probably be the reason why Mr. Oktar (Harun Yahya) was imprisoned, threatened and psychologically tortured? He has been arrested again! May Allah help him. I pray for him.
