Asalamo Alykum, After Afzal Guru’s sudden and unexpected execution in Delhi, India, there are serious and valid concerns regarding the house arrest of Kashmiri political leader, Syed Ali Shah Gilani and his wife. Now, even their mobile phones are coming across as switched off and a barber who sought to visit the house was refused entry.
The Pakistani government should call the attention of the international community to this and similar house arrests , if any, and make sure that no political and extra-judicial murders take place in the name of security. Wsalam.

Comment: Salt of Welfare on Wounds of Slavery
To: NA

Subject: [Write your own or duplicate ‘Title’]
Asalamo Alykum, Like a slave, with no ownership, no self-respect and no decision-power, we buckled down to the threat of America and participated in the so-called war-on-terror. We gave intelligence, logistic support and even handed over citizens to them without stammering to ask for any proof of so-called guilt.
As a result, our country has torn apart in a reactionary terrorism and suicide attacks. Around four thousand security personnel and forty thousand civilians have lost their lives, other than those injured and handicapped for life. Let it be noted that there were no suicide attacks in Pakistan prior to 2001.
After being responsible for all the havoc, misery and terror in Pakistan, America now lands in with ‘beneficiary’ programs like USAID; building hospitals, granting scholarships and also offering to pay our utility bills.
I really feel like a dog who gets kicked and fed by the same master. This humiliating welfare is just like salt on our wounds. I wish America would just go back and leave us alone for good. Wsalam.

Asalamo Alykum, Does any country have the right to tell any other country who to do business with and with whom not? Why should we not do business with Iran?
It is one of the best decisions the Government of Pakistan has taken in a long time. I hope you stick to it and take some more similar decisions. Wsalam.

Asalamo Alykum, Yes, little Murtaza Haider, you are just like my son. I saw you smiling out of your innocent picture in the newspaper, and then I read the news caption, ‘Murtaza Haider is dead, does anyone care?’ My heart felt a sharp pain. No, this could not be. Has somebody killed you and your father just because you are a Shia? That is sick.
Yes, we Sunnis do care. We are in this together. We need to fight this together.
If any Sunni outfit has done this, it is deplorable and they should be punished without any consideration. While I personally think that these Shia killings are aimed at creating Sunni-Shia riots and a civil war in Pakistan as America recedes from Afghanistan.
Let us not become chips of a political game. Let us unite, condemn and fight this together in the right direction. Wsalam.

Unbelievable Hazara Killings

Bcc: [Choose from ‘Quick Contacts’ on bottom-right]
Subject: [Write your own or duplicate ‘Title’]
Asalamo Alykum, I fail to understand what stops the government to crackdown on the perpetrators of the Quetta bombings. The government did not stop short of persecuting the die-hard, sincere Mujahideen of the Afghan Jihad upon America's beck and call. Then, what stops them from dismantling the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, who apparently has claimed responsibility of the Quetta carnage?
I also fail to understand what version of Islam authenticates killing people of another sect? What logic or argument do they have?
Or could it be that the government knows that these blasts are actually being done by foreign terrorist organizations like Blackwater and therefore do not know how to handle the situation?
Whoever is doing it, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Blackwater or whoever, they should be annihilated completely from the land and the perpetrators given the capital punishment as a lesson to other potential miscreants.
Hazaras, I am so sorry. The horror, loss and sadness which envelopes the situation is unbelievable. However, this sorry is not enough. We need hard action and as a citizen, I demand it of our government. Wsalam.

Dear PEMRA,
Asalamo Alykum. I really appreciate your notification of caution to the media upon the Valentine’s Day celebrations. Indeed, there are many amongst us who wish to see an absolute ban on such flaunting and ‘borrowed’ occasions. However, a restraint, to begin with, is a sure start and deserves a lot of appreciation. Thank you for taking notice of people’s displeasure upon it and thank you for taking some action against it. You have sure exercised your position of power for the good. May Allah Almighty grant us all wisdom and the best in this world and the Hereafter. Wsalam.

Reading about the detailed account of Sheikh Osama bin Laden’s assassination, I am deeply grateful to the US Naval SEAL who claims that he did not hurt Sheikh Osama’s three-year-old son who was standing right there and crying after the assassination. Nor did he attempt to molest any of the women present on the compound.
It would be nice if he would give some ethical counseling to his fellow troops and personnel as well, who throw six-month old babies on roadsides, leaving them to die on their own, who chain seven year-old boys for years, so that they develop deformed feet and who rape women after they have been shot and are bleeding to death. Then a second soldier comes up and says, ‘Hurry up, I want to have a go at her while she is still warm…’.
On behalf of the Muslim nation, thank you for not hurting our child and not molesting our women.

I utterly fail to understand why certain countries tell other countries not to make nuclear weapons while they themselves have made nuclear weapons and continue to stock theirs. This is a bullying hypocrisy and a very brash one.
America actually has the historic record medal of nuclear bombing innocent civilians of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, killing approximately 250,000 in immediate effect. The first nuclear bomb was dropped on the 6th of August and even after seeing its effect, another nuclear bomb was cold-bloodedly dropped only three days later, the 9th of August, 1945.
How can America or any other country hosting nuclear weapons themselves, instruct North Korea, Iran and others not to do so? What logical, ethical or political reasoning could possibly dictate so?

Aafia's Family Statement & the Algerians

I can fully understand the horror, pain and desperation of Aafia’s plight and the need to secure her freedom at all costs and by any means possible. Every worthy human being, be they Muslims or non-Muslims, share the grief with Aafia’s family.
It is no secret that America patronized the freedom-fighters of Islam when they needed them against Russia, but when the freedom-fight asked for their own freedom, the same freedom-fighters were termed ‘terrorists’. There is a difference of opinion among Muslims upon the strategy of these freedom-fighters, but there is no doubt that these freedom-fighters are genuine for Islam and the Muslims to the core of their hearts. That is why they have disrupted their personal lives and their economic lives and struggle for the freedom of the Muslim nation.
“O believers! Be steadfast for the sake of Allah and bear true witness and let not the enmity of a people incite you to do injustice; do justice; that is nearer to piety. Fear Allah, surely Allah is fully aware of all your actions.” [The Holy Quran, (5) Surah Al-Maidah, Verse 8]
Taliban, the Al-Qaeda associated group, represented this commandment when they captured Yvonne Ridley, a British journalist spying on them, in 2001. They did not rape her (much to the disappointment of the international media), their women washed her clothes for her and they gave her food before they ate themselves. Due to their gentleman behavior, she chose to study Islam after release and converted in due time. This is a sharp contrast indeed to USA capturing Aafia Siddiqui with her three innocent children, separating them, physically-mentally-emotionally-sexually torturing her, raping her, stripping her, cavity-searching her and to top it all, filming the entire humiliation. Aafia was never an enemy of USA, but supposedly, even if she was, is this how one treats captives? Despite all this, America stands the champion of human rights and Taliban and Al-Qaeda and all their associates are terrorists. Great mathematics!
I am sure that those Algerian fighters feel as deeply and painfully for Aafia as you and I do and that is why they sought to secure her release. I do not think it is fair to malign them as opportunists for a personal agenda for fear that their calling will associate Aafia with them. Aafia does not have to belong to a certain group for that group to call out for her freedom. Every Muslim, be s/he Sunni, Shia, Wahabi, or any other, and belonging to any group, Jamat-e-Islami, Tableeghi Jamat, Muslim Brotherhood or any other, feel a connection and responsibility for Aafia for the mere reason that she is a Muslim and she has been severely persecuted for no good reason. Her torturous imprisonment is the thorn in every Muslim heart.
As to why did they not speak for her earlier on? One cannot be sure but perhaps they also thought that speaking for her would malign her and endanger her further.
Hence, fear not and repel not. Ultimately, it is Allah Almighty who will bring about Aafia’s freedom and not bending to the hypocritical human rights rampant internationally these days which stay mute upon the Burma Massacre of 2012, in which 20,000 plus Muslim men, women and babies were roasted to death in a manner of ancient times torture, but create havoc world-wide when a handful of non-Muslims are killed in some ad hoc incident or retaliation.
Keep believing in Allah Almighty and side with those who believe in Allah Almighty and justice for all, Muslims and non-Muslims, and not just selectively for non-Muslims.
