**JP** [Int'l Urdu Writers' Club] Terrorism never defined


 
Terrorism never defined

Asif Haroon Raja

When George W Bush decided to invade Afghanistan, outwardly he pretended that the purpose was to avenge 9/11 attacks allegedly perpetrated by Osama bin Laden led al-Qaeda based in Afghanistan and to free the world from the menace of terrorism and to prevent 9/11 like attacks to recur. The US hidden motives were however altogether different. After regime change, Afghanistan was to be converted into a permanent military base so as to conduct covert and overt operations against regional countries. Pakistan and Iran were to be targeted covertly, Russia and China were to be kept under pressure, and influence over Central Asian Republics was to be enhanced with a view to gaining control over mineral resources. India was to be strengthened and made the most powerful regional power in Asia-Pacific so that it could counter China. Iraq, Libya and Syria were to be subjugated, boundaries of Middle East altered and its oil resources harnessed. Saudi Arabia was the ultimate objective to give a deathblow to Islam. Islam loving Muslims dubbed as extremists were to be bashed by pro-American secular governments so as to sharpen secular Muslims-practicing Muslims divide.

Terrorism was in actuality a ploy to legitimize waging prolonged Global War on Terror (GWOT) against Muslim countries opposing its imperialist policies or refusing to tow its line. Threat of Communism was replaced with Islamic terrorism. The word 'Muslim fundamentalism' was first coined for Imam Khomeini led Islamic revolution in Iran in 1978 to divide Muslims. Prior to that, this term was normally used within the Christian and Jewish communities. The Taliban in Afghanistan were also projected as fundamentalists. In the aftermath of 9/11, new rules framed on terrorism confined terrorism to Muslim world only while non-Muslim world was given a clean chit. Apart from nominated groups, countries harboring terrorists or abetting terrorism were also to be punished. So much so that even the subtle difference between freedom movement legitimized by the UN and terrorism was removed and all were dubbed as terrorists. Except for North Korea, all other States that were declared as 'evil' were Muslim.

In Islam, there is no such division within its ranks since all Muslims are required to follow certain fundamentals and obligations of religion that are mostly altruistic. This is common to all religions of the world. However, the vested groups have bracketed Islamic fundamentalism with obscurantism, fanaticism, extremism and terrorism. These traits are outside the realm and teachings of Islam since it preaches equality, brotherhood, peace, justice and fair play.

Among the targets Pakistan being nuclear was a priority target which had to be subdued and turned into a compliant state through deceptive friendship. FATA in the northwest and Balochistan in the southwest, the two extreme flanks of Pakistan were selected to be inflamed initially and gradually the flames of terrorism were to be spread inwards towards major cities to destabilize the country. Reason for selecting these two regions was their contiguity with Afghanistan which enabled the subversive forces to conduct covert war with ease. Involvement of Pak security forces in FATA helped in reducing the weight of war in Afghanistan and also in pulling forces from east to west. Balochistan's geostrategic location and richness in mineral resources were added reasons to evince interest in this region.

FATA and Balochistan being under developed, the people of these regions had grievances against the government and hence relatively easier to get misled. Above all, the Pashtun and Baloch tribesmen being excellent fighters with long experience of fighting guerrilla war were best suited to be pitched against the Army. After establishing outposts in 2002 in the two regions, CIA-FBI started pouring dollars, weapons and equipment to win over anti-Pakistan elements and sympathizers of al-Qaeda who had taken refuge in Waziristan. Pakistani Taliban were created from among this lot. After terrorizing the locals and assassinating pro-government elders, the Wazirs and Mehsuds in Waziristan were nudged to declare war against Pak military. Motivation to recruit tribesmen was that Pak Army was the US mercenary army fighting to earn dollars. Likewise, Baloch armed insurgency under dissident Baloch Sardars was fomented by MI-6 assisted by CIA in Balochistan. Later RAW joined in and got deeply involved. Disbandment of six Jihadi groups engaged in Kashmir freedom struggle by Gen Musharraf in 2002/03 under Indo-US pressure forced these groups as well as other militant groups to join hands with TTP and al-Qaeda.       

As a consequence, Pak security forces got intensely entangled with militants of their own country coupled with few hundred al-Qaeda elements. Ten years of infighting has further militarized the society. Initial doze of radicalization was received during and after the Afghan war against the Soviets. Saudi Arabia and Iran played their part in stoking Shia-Sunni sectarian war in 1990s by funding extremist religious groups. Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, an off-shoot of banned Sipah-e-Sahaba funded by Saudis is target killing Shia Hazaras in Quetta under the misperception that irrespective of the gravity of their sins, killing a Shia would earn them a ticket to paradise. Same is the case with Iran funded banned Sipah-e-Muhammad which target Sunnis. Sectarianism and ethnicity have eaten into the vitals of the country.

Well-armed, fearless and highly trained extremist elements can now be found in every nook and corner of the country. Radical groups are better placed to enlist and motivate any number of young recruits from within the poverty stricken lower classes which form the majority of population. This deprived segment of the society having no future and nothing to lose willingly takes up militancy as a job to survive. From among the enlisted youth, suicide bombers are trained by the likes of infamous Qari Hussein. They readily blow themselves up to earn money for their impoverished families.  

It is from among this segment of society that foreign agencies have also been picking up recruits and enticing them to become terrorists and suicide bombers in return for rich rewards. Insurgents in restive areas are continuing to fight for a wrong cause purely on the strength of money, weapons, vehicles they regularly receive from their foreign patrons and safe havens in Afghanistan. The two insurgencies would die the day foreign assistance dry up. Six intelligence agencies based in Kabul keep devising plans to prevent flames of terrorism from getting extinguished. Do more mantra and drones were introduced to further fuel terrorism. While ISAF has started packing its baggage to quit Afghanistan and US leadership is continuously trying to woo the Taliban to arrive at a political settlement, Pakistan is being pushed to launch another major operation in North Waziristan. The US forbids Pakistan to hold peace talks with Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan or to maintain contacts with Afghan Taliban.

11 years have gone by fighting GWOT but terrorism instead of getting eliminated or curbed has spread further and has become uncontrollable. The reason that the US and its allies couldn't bottle the genie of terrorism is that their intentions were insincere. None made any effort to identify the root causes of terrorism and finding remedies to doctor this disease. Pakistan has been suggesting this course but no heed was paid since the originators of war were not interested in curing it. Moreover, the US having earned the reputation of being the biggest terrorist state of the world had no moral right to paint others as terrorists and kill them.

A German scholar answering a question about terrorism lucidly explained this dichotomy. He said: "Did the Muslims start the First World War? Did the Muslims trigger the Second World War? Did the Muslims kill about 20 millions of Aborigines in Australia? Did the Muslims drop the nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki cities of Japan at the termination of 2nd World War when Japan had agreed to surrender? Did the Muslims kill over 100 millions of Indians in North America? Who killed more than 50 millions of Indians in South America? Muslims? Who forcibly abducted about 180 millions of African people as slaves and 88% of them died in ships and were thrown in Atlantic Ocean? Muslims?" He added, "No they weren't Muslims!! First of all you have to define terrorism properly. If a non-Muslim do something bad, it is crime. But if a Muslim commits the same, he is a terrorist. So first remove this double standard and then come to the point".

One wishes Pakistan and 49 other countries fighting GWOT as well as the UN should have asked the US to define terrorism rather than blindly fighting the senseless war against terrorism which has made the world unsafe. The two countries most notorious for state terrorism and repression are Israel and India, but the two are blue eyed boys of USA. Their terrorism is ignored. Aren't CIA, Mossad and RAW, the three strategic partners infamous for kidnapping, torturing and murdering their enemies and detractors? The trio applies state terrorism, indulges in false flag operations and false propaganda war, destabilizes and topples democratic governments by creating strife and unrest or instigating insurgencies.       

To label a Muslim freedom fighter as terrorist and that too without defining terrorism is unfair. The Mukti Bahinis in former East Pakistan were rebels for Pakistan and freedom fighters for India. Baloch miscreants in Balochistan waging a separatist movement are rebels for Pakistan and freedom fighters for USA and India. The Algerians fighting against French imperialism to gain freedom were seen as terrorists by the French but once they gained their goal of independence they were eulogized as heroes. Historically, all revolutionary forces that had picked up arms against the ones in power were dubbed as rebels and terrorists deserving no mercy. Revolutions, which succeeded to overthrow the sitting government, were later described as war of independence. To dub uprising in Kashmir anything other than freedom movement geared towards seeking their right for self-determination, as provided for in the UN resolutions that has been denied to them since 1947 is highly unjust and morally wrong.

Re: Mitt Romney: Richer Means Superior

This is a classic example of far left, hate filled and most importantly, inaccurate, untruthful, prevaricate, (I could come up with a few more adjectives it if will help you!)  reporting, and when you start quoting from the likes of the Huffington Post,  you really cannot expect to learn the truth or understand any given issue or story.
 
What amazes me with journalists  who report for and make up our mainstream media today, the predominance of these journalists for some reason are "liberal"  or "pogressive"; is that these "liberal/progressive" journalists have an absolute expectation for for politicians, government agents, and government in general,  to tell the truth.  These same journalists expect you, I, the guy next door, and Joe and Jane Doe to tell the truth.  
 
When it comes to their reporting, and holding accuracy and accountability as precepts to a standard, this where there is hyprocisy and a totally different level of accountability.
 
Here is what Mitt Romney said:
 
"You notice a stark difference in economic vitality" between Israel and the Palestinians, And as I come here and I look out over this city and consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, I recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things,.....As you come here and you see the GDP per capita, for instance, in Israel which is about $21,000 dollars, and compare that with the GDP per capita just across the areas managed by the Palestinian Authority, which is more like $10,000 per capita, you notice such a dramatically stark difference in economic vitality,"
 
That is hardly the same thing as what the Huffington Post described Mitt Romney's comments as.   Granted,  Romney's comments could be construed as insensitive,  but this is another example of far left extremist, "yellow" journalism.

Cowardly Republicans; Impeach Obama Now!



[[ They ain't got the balls of a pissant.]]



New post on therightplanet.com

Cowardly Republicans; Impeach Obama Now!

by Sard

By: Tom Tancredo
Gulag Bound

"John Roberts says impeach Obama now"

Oh, you missed that headline? Let me refresh your memory by summarizing the principle behind the Roberts decision on Obamacare. If we apply the Roberts principle to the impeachment question, then impeachment is not only a good idea, it is a constitutional imperative.

The argument heard most often against impeaching and removing President Obama is the following. Well, yes, we all know Obama deserves to be impeached and removed, but we have elections for that – and, moreover, the election is less than four months away.

But our Supreme Court chief justice disagrees with that line of thought.

Roberts believes, as we all must, that constitutional imperatives are different and quite separate from political imperatives. In Roberts' opinion, the political imperative for overturning Obamacare was irrelevant to the constitutional question of whether or not Congress had the authority to enact Obamacare. He concluded that Congress does have that constitutional authority –and that constitutional principles trump political imperatives.

What does that have to do with impeachment? It's very simple.

That principle means that if there is a constitutionally valid reason to impeach and remove a president, then the election process is irrelevant. If a president should be removed for violating the Constitution, then he should be removed today, not four months from today or four years from today.

To put it another way, the constitutional reasons for removing a president are quite different from the political reasons for voting against an incumbent. And here, some of the critics of impeachment are quite right: a president should never be impeached for political reasons, that is, for disagreements over domestic or foreign policy. That, indeed, is the business of elections.

But in Obama's case, the arguments for impeachment are not based on policy disagreements but on his actions in violation of the Constitution.

Obama has committed at least a half-dozen specific offenses that meet the standards set in the Constitution for impeachment and removal. Thus, there is a constitutional imperative for removing him through the constitutionally prescribed process, not through an election.

In fact, when adequate grounds for impeachment exist, delaying impeachment because of an impending election is an affront to the Constitution! That's putting politics ahead of the Constitution! Justice Roberts would not approve.

Viewed from this constitutional perspective, the reasons for inaction on an impeachment resolution in the House of Representatives seem not only weak but downright cowardly. The gap between the courage of patriots and the timidity of Republican leaders in Congress is sickening. Tens of millions of Americans believe Barack Hussein Obama needs to be impeached by the House and then removed by a vote of the Senate. Yet, not a single member of Congress has drafted and introduced a formal impeachment resolution to start the process. This is an insult to the Constitution, and as such, it is shameful.

What we hear as an excuse is this cynical argument: If Obama loses the election in November, impeachment is unnecessary. And if he wins, impeachment is impossible because Republicans will be accused of "sour grapes." Both statements are wrongheaded and surprisingly naïve.

To put that question in more concrete terms, ask yourself this: If Obama loses the election on Nov. 6, do you trust him and his lame-duck Congress to govern the nation in a constitutional manner for the 10 weeks between his defeat and the inauguration of his successor on Jan. 20, 2013? If you answered "no!" then you must also agree that it is imperative to remove him as soon as possible.

Yes, we all understand that the present Democrat-controlled Senate will never take up an impeachment resolution even if one were passed by the House. But Justice Roberts would say that is irrelevant. Impeachment is a necessary and proper step when the Constitution has been violated, regardless of the political prospects for success of the indictment.

Is there adequate evidence to warrant a serious, formal impeachment investigation by the House Judiciary Committee? Yes, absolutely, and committee Chairman Lamar Smith ought to start that process immediately.

There is an avalanche of evidence that Obama has committed numerous crimes against the Constitution. Here are only a few examples:

  • He violated the Constitution by appointing executive branch officials when the Senate was not in recess.
  • He approved leaks of sensitive national security information for purely political gain.
  • He improperly used executive privilege to block a congressional investigation of Eric Holder's participation in the illegal Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal.
  • He violated congressional authority by ordering an end to the lawful deportation of illegal immigrants.
  • He ordered or personally approved grants and contracts to private companies as a payoff for political campaign support.

The list goes on. These are not mere policy disagreements. Any president of any party who behaves in this manner ought to be removed through the constitutional prescribed manner – impeachment.

And that process needs to begin now, not in January or June of 2013.

Tyrants Don't Go Quietly

Why Obama Has No Intention of Losing This November

July, 27, 2012 — nicedeb

I have to confess I have a nagging fear about the upcoming election. Even though all indications point to Romney winning in November, I worry that the usurper currently in office has no intention of leaving and will be manipulating events to keep himself in place. Whether through dirty tricks, voter fraud, a Wag the Dog scenario, civil unrest leading to martial law, or a combination of all of those things, Bam is planning on staying.

Tyrants don't go quietly.

> Undeniably, Iran, by enriching uranium to 3.5 percent, then up to 20 percent, has a greater "capability" than five years ago of building a nuclear weapon. But Japan, South Korea and Brazil also have that capability – and none has decided to build a nuclear weapon.

> Finally, if Iran is willing to permit intrusive inspections of its actual and suspected nuclear sites, but insists on its right to enrich uranium, should we go to war to deny them that right?
