FALSE-FLAG WARS: The Evil Empire Is Destroying Our World With Fascist Politics & Wars.



9/11 Is A Reminder
The ‘Evil Empire’ Is Destroying
Our World With Fascist Politics
& Wars Based On False Flags


(M. Javed Jaseem)


IBC (Iraq Body Count project), an independent UK/US group, compiles documented (not estimated) Iraqi civilian deaths from violence since the Iraqi invasion of 2003, including those caused directly by US-led coalition and Iraqi government forces and paramilitary or criminal attacks by others. It shows a total range of at least 175,792 to 196,572 civilian deaths in the whole conflict from March 2003 to June 2017. The numbers include only civilians. The IBC includes non-paramilitary police forces as civilians, and members of the Iraqi Army or paramilitary/militia forces when the death is a result of summary execution after capture.

*****************************
Decision To Topple
7 Countries In 5 Years Was
Made Way Before 9/11 And
Had Nothing To Do With
Osama Bin Laden Or ISIS

*****************************

The number of people killed directly in the violence of the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan is approximate. There are additional 800,000 civilians who likely have died as an indirect result of the war. And the violence continues.
Direct war deaths in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan from October 2001 to July 2016; and in Iraq from October 2001 to April 2015, come to about 400,000 (exact number: 395,000). (As per ‘Cost of War’ by the Watson Institute, Brown University).

September 11 is a reminder to all parties – aggressors or the victims – that it’s finally time for the Evil Triangle (US-UK-Israel) to begin to ponder over the misery, death and destruction it is bringing upon the world in general and the Middle Eastern countries in particular. Seventeen years of disastrous politics and fascist foreign policy has brought upon the US taxpayers and people around the globe unbearable pain, distress, misery, desperation and depression – apart from the destruction of their countries and economies. When is it going to end and how? People can only guess. America has failed the world as a leader and the new American colonialism is not acceptable to the world.
The so-called vicious ‘war-on-terror’ has produced more terror and bloodshed. Two decades later, American bombs and missiles are still exploding but now they are landing on targets in not one but seven Muslim countries (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen).

Deadly Legacy of 9/11
Cancer, PTSD & Lung Diseases Have Killed Over 2,000 Helpers.
Number May Surpass 3,000 In 2018  

The 9/11 bloody drama directly killed more than 3,000 innocent people, and is going to kill another 3,000 indirectly, through cancer, lung and respiratory diseases, PTSD, etc. Add to that number the innocent victims of the illegal wars of invasions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and now Syria. The total number runs in the millions of deaths. And that is the collateral damage Uncle Sam and its cronies were willing to incur to achieve the world hegemony, universal control of wealth and natural resources, and the New World Order. That’s the politics of the Zionist psychopaths! They keep fooling people in the name of democracy, justice, security and peace.


On the day of 9/11, some 75,000 people responded to help the victims which included
firefighters, police officers, paramedics, building workers, electricians, mechanics and rescue workers. They are called the ‘first responders’. As per reports, over 2,000 first responders – people who helped out at Ground Zero – have died from illnesses caused by breathing in the toxic fumes that engulfed the site in the weeks after the terror attack. 
As thousands more currently battle 9/11-related diseases such as cancer or severe respiratory disease, shockingly, it's predicted that by the end of this year the number of first responders who have died since the tragic event will overtake the number who died on the day.

Tom Wilson, a 49-year old New York Police officer, had to have his tongue cut out.
Tom spent days on search and rescue duty followed by weeks at Fresh Kills landfill site in Staten Island sifting through rubble from the Twin Towers looking for human remains.
“It was like having your mouth wrapped around the exhaust pipe of a motor vehicle,” he told the Sun newspaper.

U.S. Planned To Topple
7 Countries In 5 Years

According to four-star General Wesley Clark, shortly after the attacks of 9/11, the Pentagon adopted a plan to topple the governments of seven countries; Iraq, Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. The wars were planned and had nothing to do with Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda or the ISIS/Daesh. They were rather used as pawns and pretexts to start the 7-Nation invasion.


Gen. Clark’s interview:
Here’s the video link to Gen. Clark’s interview:  

General people in America and the West hate the Middle Eastern refugees coming to their countries. They always criticize them with one excuse or another. Trump has banned people from 7 Middle Eastern Muslim countries, although he is taking advantage of their immense wealth and petrol/gas by blackmail. Such refugee ban was welcomed by many frightened Americans due to the overplayed hype that the biased Zionist media had reported on the threat of refugees sweeping into Western countries, these Americans cannot turn their attention away from the fact that America has had a hand in creating those refugees in the first place.

Gen. Clark’s list of countries is not an irrelevant conspiracy theory. These countries have seen heavy interference from the United States in the last decade or so. In 2016, the country Obama bombed the most was Syria. The United States was spending approx. one billion dollars a year assisting ‘rebels’ who had known ties to al-Qaeda, the majority of whom shared ISIS ideology and practices. The U.S. air war against ISIS has now cost American taxpayers over $11 billion

Libya was destroyed in 2011 by NATO powers (mainly US-France), an offensive in which the U.S. played the most integral role. The U.S., as usual, was supporting Jihadists who fought against the U.S. in Iraq to topple the Libyan regime (these mercenaries were later re-branded as ISIS).
Obama bombed Somalia throughout his presidency. He not only relentlessly bombed Yemen, but he also supported the Saudi-led coalition’s brutal assault on Yemen’s civilian population. American troops are also stationed in Sudan and not many people, especially Americans, are aware of that.
Now, American troops can go to all those ‘rogue’ countries but the people or the genuine refugees of those countries cannot come to America! That’s fascist politics.

Trump declared in his campaign promises that he’ll stop the war politics but, so far, he is well on his track to rapidly pursuing it. He has increased drone attacks in Yemen. He has also increased armed interference in Syria with one excuse or another. He had threatened to bomb North Korea. Now he is threatening Iran, Russia and China too. That’s a lot more war fronts than Bush and Obama.


It seems that Israel is dictating American foreign policy and its Middle East war ventures, because Israel is the biggest beneficiary of these wars waged by America and Europe.

America and Europe are making too much noise about terrorism and in fact they are behind most of those terrorist groups. They created some and they embraced others to use them as proxies in the illegal wars. These terrorist groups are committing atrocities in the Middle East, killing innocent civilians and destroying town after town. America and Europe are helping them with money, arms, ammunition, equipment, manpower, training and logistics. But the hired MSM (Main Stream Media) does not see that, therefore, no news or noise in the press or TV.


The Pentagon is ruled by the war hawks who get their policy inspiration from the Zionist apartheid state of Israel. Therefore, every war or foreign project they start is meant to benefit Israel, not the American people. American intelligence veterans are worried about the situation and see the danger of the World War-III looming more than ever now. They got together and wrote a Memo to the US President to persuade him to follow the path to peace, and not to war. Here’s the text of the Memorandum:

Moscow Has Upped The Ante In Syria!
(From Covert Geopolitics)

Organized intelligence veterans have spoken out to warn Trump of an impending catastrophe that has the potential of escalating beyond Syria. As Syrian forces back by Russia launch the final showdown in Syria against Jihadist extremists, the potential for a U.S.-Russia confrontation has never been greater, as VIPS warns in this memo to the U.S. President, dated September 9, 2018.

Memorandum for: The President
From: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS)

Subject: Moscow Has Upped the Ante in Syria.

Mr. President:
We are concerned that you may not have been adequately briefed on the upsurge of hostilities in northwestern Syria, where Syrian armed forces with Russian support have launched a full-out campaign to take back the al-Nusra/al-Qaeda/ISIS-infested province of Idlib.  The Syrians will almost certainly succeed, as they did in late 2016 in Aleppo.  As in Aleppo, it will mean unspeakable carnage, unless someone finally tells the insurgents theirs is a lost cause.

That someone is you. The Israelis, Saudis, and others who want unrest to endure are egging on the insurgents, assuring them that you, Mr. President, will use US forces to protect the insurgents in Idlib, and perhaps also rain hell down on Damascus.  We believe that your senior advisers are encouraging the insurgents to think in those terms, and that your most senior aides are taking credit for your recent policy shift from troop withdrawal from Syria to indefinite war.


Big Difference This Time

Russian missile-armed naval and air units are now deployed in unprecedented numbers to engage those tempted to interfere with Syrian and Russian forces trying to clean out the terrorists from Idlib. We assume you have been briefed on that — at least to some extent. More important, we know that your advisers tend to be dangerously dismissive of Russian capabilities and intentions.

We do not want you to be surprised when the Russians start firing their missiles. The prospect of direct Russian-U.S. hostilities in Syria is at an all-time high. We are not sure you realize that.
The situation is even more volatile because Kremlin leaders are not sure who is calling the shots in Washington. This is not the first time that President Putin has encountered such uncertainty (see brief Appendix below).  This is, however, the first time that Russian forces have deployed in such numbers into the area, ready to do battle. The stakes are very high.

We hope that John Bolton has given you an accurate description of his acerbic talks with his Russian counterpart in Geneva a few weeks ago. In our view, it is a safe bet that the Kremlin is uncertain whether Bolton faithfully speaks in your stead, or speaks INSTEAD of you.
The best way to assure Mr. Putin that you are in control of U.S. policy toward Syria would be for you to seek an early opportunity to speak out publicly, spelling out your intentions.  If you wish wider war, Bolton has put you on the right path.

If you wish to cool things down, you may wish to consider what might be called a pre-emptive ceasefire. By that we mean a public commitment by the Presidents of the U.S. and Russia to strengthen procedures to preclude an open clash between U.S. and Russian armed forces. We believe that, in present circumstances, this kind of extraordinary step is now required to head off wider war.

THE HERO OF 1965 WAR: Pakistan's President Mohammad Ayub Khan.


Remembering The Hero of 1965 War
Pres. Mohammad Ayub Khan:
The Man Who Put Pakistan
On The Road To Success &
Prosperity.

1960’s Was The Golden Era
Of Pakistan

(M. Javed Naseem)

(Ayub Khan with Quaid-i-Azam M.A.Jinnah and Fatima Jinnah)
That was the best time of our lives – the 1960s! Mohammad Ayub Khan was the best President Pakistan ever had – honest, simple, down-to-earth, patriotic Pakistani and a good Muslim. He was the son of the soil and felt deeply for Pakistan and the Pakistanis. But as they say that man is never satisfied, some people (especially Bhutto’s PPP) were not very happy with him. Those ungrateful ‘socialists’ easily forgot that Z.A.Bhutto was nobody until President Ayub Khan made him the Foreign Minister of Pakistan. Ayub Khan was the mentor of many aspiring politicians.

*****************************************
Ayub Khan was the President who carved
Islamabad as Capital of Pakistan on the world-
map. The man who constructed many dams,
including Mangla Dam and Tarbela Dam;
Introduced agricultural reforms. During
his tenure, a US Dollar was worth Pak Rs.4.50
and sugar was Rs.1.50 per kilogram.

*****************************************

I saw the 1965 war; participated in it by helping Pak army as a volunteer as they were short of manpower. I was doing my Bachelor (B.A.) in Lahore those days; lived in Lahore Cantt., near Pak Rangers’ Headquarters, not far from the famous canal where the Indian army was stopped.

After the 1965 war with India, when both countries signed the peace agreement, Bhutto started manipulating the anti-India sentiments of people. The wounds of 1965-war were still fresh. When Ayub Khan removed Bhutto from the cabinet, he started a vicious campaign against his government and the military. He used students’ unions and labor unions to promote unrest and violence; and formed Pakistan People’s Party to gain power. Then he came to power after the 1971 elections which Sh. Mujeebur Rahman (of East Pakistan) won with majority vote. The only way Bhutto could gain power was to divide Pakistan – East Pakistan becoming Bangladesh and West Pakistan the new Pakistan. “Udher toum, idher hum” (meaning: You there, Me here) agreement was reached and Pakistan was dismembered. You know the rest.

The so-called Leftists tried to distort the images of those leaders who were sincere with Pakistan but leaned towards Islam. This is still going on but today they don’t call themselves ‘Leftists’; they are known by the modern terms like secular, atheists, etc., though some still claim to be the socialists.


President Ayub Khan was the man who told America and Britain that Pakistan seeks ‘Friends’ not ‘Masters’. Here are some excerpts from his famous book ‘Friends, Not Masters’, published by the Oxford University Press.

*********************************

“People in developing countries seek
assistance, but on the basis of mutual
respect; they tempt to have friends
not masters.”
– Ayub Khan

*********************************


“At the invitation of President Kennedy, I had visited the United States in July 1961. President Kennedy said, in his welcome address, that Pakistan was a friend of ‘immediacy and constancy’. He also observed that ‘Americans in private and in their public life appreciate the value of friendship and the constancy of friends.’ I was heartened by this because the value of friendship rests on reciprocity.”

“I addressed a Joint Session of the Congress of the United States on 12th July, 1961. I explained at some length the basis of the partition of the sub-continent. Our demand for a homeland of our own was based on the realization that we would have no place worth the name in a society which was governed by a rigid caste system. The demand was not based on bigotry or intolerance. It was, in fact, an escape from the bigotry and intolerance to which we had been subjected for decades in the Indian society. We were not wanting to create a priest-ridden society but a liberal and enlightened one in which we should be able to live according to our own ideology and faith. In our society there would be no place for color prejudice or race prejudice. We people are, shall we say, color-blind and race-blind. I reminded the Congress of their responsibilities and world obligations. There was applause when I said, ‘the only people who will stand by you are the people of Pakistan’ but, before the applause died down, I added, ‘provided — provided you are also prepared to stand by them. So, I would like you to remember that, whatever may be the dictates of your commitments, you will not take any steps that might aggravate our problems or in any fashion jeopardize our security'. And as long as you remember
that, I have no doubt in my mind that our friendship trill grow in strength.”

(Pres. Ayub Khan with US Pres. J.F.Kennedy & Jackie Kennedy)
“Throughout my visit, I emphasized the need for bringing about a just and honorable settlement of the Kashmir dispute, without which there could be no peace in the sub-continent. I urged the United States to use their growing influence in India to persuade the Indian leaders to realize the value of living at peace with Pakistan. I was asked by a Pressman: How far President Kennedy could go in persuading Mr. Nehru to resolve the Kashmir dispute? My answer was: ‘We will see how far he can go. He should be able to go a long way.’”

============

“I have viewed problems as a Pakistani, a Muslim, and an Asian. Pakistan is my passion, my life. A look of happiness on the faces of people thrills and sustains me. Just as a shade of anxiety in their eyes causes me anguish. I have woken up from sleep to sec whether the sound on the window panes is of the long-awaited rain. I feel parched inside when I see a drought-stricken field. The soil of Pakistan fascinates me, for it is my soil. I belong to it.”

“Every moment of my life I have dedicated to the service of my people, never for a moment yielding to any pressure or disappointment. Pakistan has to establish a distinct national identity of her own in moral, social, intellectual, and political terms and all my endeavors have been devoted to this objective.”

============

“Too often we mistake, the emotional for the ideal. For us, the ideal should be to develop a rational approach to life. We cannot allow our vision to be clouded by memories of past glory. I t is the present, with all its complexities, on which we must concentrate, and it is the future with all its promise, for which we must work.”

============

“Internally, the major problem for us has been to establish political institutions and stable instruments of government. These institutions and instruments had to be fashioned according to our own thinking, temperament and needs. The process has not been easy. In the earlier years, the whole approach was on a personal basis and problems were rarely seen in the broad national perspective. This, inevitably, retarded the progress. The political system which we inherited had no relevance to our conditions. The result was that the system was misused and exploited to serve limited interests. It needed a revolution to replace the system by one which reflected the traditions of the people and
responded to their aspirations.”

(Pres. Ayub Khan with the Soviet Union President Kosygin)
“As a Muslim, my sole anxiety has been to unite the people of Pakistan in the light of their faith and ideology. This ideology I understand in terms of certain immutable principles: The unity of God; equality and brotherhood of man; progress to higher levels of existence; and adherence to the fundamentals of Islam.”

=============

“In dealing with world affairs, I have viewed problems as an Asian. It is within the Asian community that we have to establish for ourselves a permanent place of respect and strength. This is what our national interests demand. And this is why we continue to work for peace and stability in this part of the world. We have been able to establish normal relations with our neighbors (with the unfortunate exception of India) while maintaining our traditional contacts with Western powers, particularly with the United States of America. In this matter our thinking has been guided as much by our own interests as by the limitations of our political and economic resources. We are dedicated to peace because peace alone will give us the time which we need for our development. Our endeavor is to remain out of the orbit of major power conflicts. This we can achieve only through honest and straight-forward dealings with others.”

THE FIRST CHARTER OF HUMAN RIGHTS: Prophet's Last Sermon of Hajj.


Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.)’s
Last Sermon of Hajj
First Charter of Human Rights
In The Recorded History!

(M. Javed Naseem)


The ‘Last Hajj Sermon’ (or Khutba) of the Prophet was delivered at Arafat in the year 632 A.D. and it was the first recorded Declaration (or Charter) of Human Rights of the planet Earth. Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) undertook his farewell pilgrimage in the year 10 A.H. It was the first and the last pilgrimage made by Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.). Thousands of people from far and near joined the gathering (as per one estimate: 114,000) because this pilgrimage served as a model to perform the fifth pillar of the Faith – Hajj. Every Muslim wanted to see how Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) performed the rituals; and the faithful have been emulating him since then.

On the 8th of Dhul Hijjah, the Prophet (s.a.w.) left with his companions for Mina and spent the night there, and on the 9th, after the Fajr (dawn) prayer, He proceeded to the Plains of Arafat where he delivered the famous sermon.

It was a declaration of Human Rights and moral values, a charter of Women’s Rights. The world has not been able to lay down better principles of ethics and morality than those enunciated in it. It aims at establishing righteousness, justice and fair dealing among men on a workable basis. It establishes brotherhood among Muslims irrespective of the divergence of their geographical, racial and color backgrounds, and provides an outline of a social order, perfectly free from oppression and social injustice. It was the declaration of finality of the Holy Messenger’s Prophet-hood. It was at that point that Allah also declared that on that particular day, HE had perfected this ‘Deen’ called Islam, thus leaving no room for any changes or alterations, sects or branches.

But man happens to be wicked and corrupt. He takes the bait from Shaitan (Devil) quickly and plays the fool, forgetting God. He corrupted the Scriptures and altered/edited the Divine Message of every prophet or messenger of God, to suit his own comfortable worldly life. So, he altered the text of this sermon of the Prophet (s.a.w.) too, despite the fact that there were more than 100,000 (as per one narration: 114,000) people listening as ‘eye witnesses’ to this historic event.


Here’s the text of the Final Sermon! I am just hoping and praying to Allah that I made the right selection, Insha-Allah.

"All praise is due to Allah, so we praise Him, and seek His pardon and we turn to Him. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of ourselves and from the evil consequences of our deeds. Whom Allah guides aright there is none to lead him astray; and there is none to guide him aright whom Allah leaves astray. I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, the One, having no partner with Him. His is the sovereignty and to Him is due all praise. He grants life and causes death and is Powerful over everything. There is no God but Allah, the One; He fulfilled His promise and granted victory to His bondsmen, and He alone routed the confederates (enemies of Islam)”.

“O People! Listen to my words carefully, for I do not know whether we shall ever meet again and perform Hajj after this year”.
"O people! Allah says: 'O people! We created you from one male and one female and made you into tribes and nations, so as to be known to one another.' Verily, in the sight of Allah, the most honored among you is the one who is most pious (God-fearing). There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab and for a non-Arab over an Arab; nor for the white over the black nor for the black over the white, except in righteousness (God-consciousness)."

“All mankind is the progeny of Adam and Adam was fashioned out of clay. Behold! Every claim of privilege, whether that of blood or property, is under my heels except that of the custody of the Kaabah and supplying of water to the pilgrims”.
“O people of Quraish! Don’t appear (on the Day of Judgment) with the burden of this world around your necks, whereas other people may appear (before the Lord) with the rewards of the hereafter. In that case I shall avail you naught against Allah”.


“Behold! All practices of the days of ignorance are now under my feet. The blood revenges of the days of ignorance are remitted. The first claim on blood I abolish is that of Ibn Rabiah bin Harith who was nursed in the tribe of Saad and whom the Hudhayls killed”.
“All interest and usurious dues accruing from the times of ignorance stand wiped out. And the first amount of interest that I remit is that which Abbas ibn Abd-al Muttalib had to receive. Verily it is remitted entirely”.

“O people! Verily your blood, your property and your honor are sacred and inviolable until you appear before your Lord, as the sacred inviolability of this day of yours, this month of yours and this very town (of yours). Verily, you will soon meet your Lord and you will be held answerable for your actions”.

“O people! Verily you have got certain rights over your women and your women have certain rights over you. It is your right upon them to honor their conjugal rights, and not to commit acts of impropriety, which if they do, you are authorized by Allah to separate them from your beds and chastise them, but not severely, and if they refrain, then clothe and feed them properly”.
“Behold! It is not permissible for a woman to give anything from the wealth of her husband to anyone but with his consent”.
“Treat women kindly since they are your helpers and are not in a position to manage their affairs by themselves! Fear Allah concerning women, for verily, you have taken them on the security of Allah and have made their persons lawful unto you by words of Allah”.


“O people! Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, has ordained to every one his due share (of inheritance). Hence there is no need (of special) testament for an heir (departing from the rules laid down by the Shariah)”.
“He who attributes his ancestry to other than his father or claims his clientship to other than his master, the curse of Allah is upon him”.

“All debts must be repaid, all borrowed property must be returned, gifts should be reciprocated and a surety must make good the loss to the assured”.

“Beware! No one committing a crime is responsible for it but himself. Neither the child is responsible for the crime of his father, nor is the father responsible for the crime of his child”.
“Nothing of his brother is lawful for a Muslim except what he himself gives willingly. So do not wrong yourselves”.


 “O People! Every Muslim is the brother of every other Muslim, and all the Muslims form one brotherhood. And as for your slaves, see that you feed them with such food as you eat yourselves, and clothe them with the clothes that you yourselves wear”.

“Take heed not to go astray after me and strike one another’s necks. He who (among you) has any trust with him, he must return it to its owner”.

“O people! Listen and obey, though a mangled Abyssinian slave is appointed your Ameer, provided he executes (the Ordinance of) the Book of Allah among you”.

“O people! No Prophet would be raised after me and no new Ummah (would be formed) after you”.

“Verily, I have left among you that which will never lead you astray, the Book of Allah, which if you hold fast, you shall never go astray”.


“And beware of transgressing the limits set in the matters of religion, for it is transgression of (the proper bounds of) religion that brought destruction to many people before you”.
“Verily, the Satan is disappointed at ever being worshiped in this land of yours, but he will be pleased by obedience in anything (short of worship that is) in matters you may be disposed to think insignificant, so beware of him in your matters of religion”.

“Behold! Worship your Lord; offer prayers five times a day; observe fast in the month of Ramadan; pay readily the Zakat (poor-due) on your property; and perform pilgrimage to the House of God and obey your rulers and you will be admitted to the Paradise of your Lord”.

  “Let him that is present, convey it unto him who is absent, for many people to whom the message is conveyed may be more mindful of it than this audience”.

Then he asked the audience: “And if you were asked about me, what would you say?"
They answered: "We bear witness that you have conveyed the trust (of religion) and discharged your ministry of Prophet-hood and looked to our welfare."

Thereupon, Allah’s Messenger (s.a.w.) lifted his forefinger towards the sky and then pointing towards people said:
"O Lord! Bear You witness unto it".
"O Lord! Bear You witness unto it".

(From the ‘Khutbat-ul-Hajjatul Wida’, Seerat Ibne Hesham)

Eid-ul-Adha: On The Day of Sacrifice, Slaughter Your Greed And Desires!



Eid-ul-Adha Asks:
Slaughter Your Desires/Greed,
Submit To The Will of Allah,
Care And Share!

(M. Javed Naseem)


 “And cover not Truth with falsehood, nor conceal
the Truth knowingly! And be steadfast in prayer;
practice regular charity; and bow down your heads
with those who bow down (in worship)!”
(al-Quran 2:42-43)

The Muslim Ummah just celebrated Eid-ul-Adha (the festival of sacrifice). This is held every year to commemorate Prophet Abraham’s (or Ibrahim’s) submission to the Lord Creator. Abraham was commanded in a dream to sacrifice the most precious thing of his life and there was nothing dearer to him than his first son Ishmael. As he put the knife on the throat of his son, the angel appeared and told him that he had passed the toughest test and his sacrifice had been accepted by God. So, the son was replaced by a lamb and he sacrificed a lamb. Muslims follow the same ritual and sacrifice different animals (lambs, sheep, goats, cows or camels) to please their Lord. They are supposed to share the meat with the poor and the less fortunate.
 
There are three messages in this ritual:
  1. Surrender or submit to your Lord unconditionally and obey His Will! Obedience to Allah is the first and the foremost thing in the life of a believer. And that’s the real righteousness or piety (Arabic: ‘Taqwa’).
  2. No precious object (offspring, wealth or property) is more important than the pleasure of the Lord Almighty, Who gives us all the bounties. So, we should give (or sacrifice) the best things for Him whenever we are required to do so.
  3. Share with the poor, the needy and the less fortunate whatever good things Allah has blessed you with, showing Him your gratitude and contentment. That’s the way of the righteous.

In today’s world, we are running a race of material possessions and monetary gains. We have forgotten all codes of ethics, all morals, our values and our obligations. In fact we have forgotten God and have been following the Devil who is our eternal enemy. Hence all the bloodshed, wars, bombing and killing, injustice, moral bankruptcy, corruption and numerous other political, economic, social, cultural and spiritual problems. This storm of death and destruction is triggered by the so-called Torah and Bible believing people who want to control the entire world and plunder its wealth. The rich and characterless believers of the Quran are playing as their puppets and destroying their own world. The Bible says to these people:

Deuteronomy 31:29
“I know that after my death you will become utterly corrupt and will turn from the way I have commanded you to follow. In the days to come, disaster will come down on you, for you will do what is evil in the Lord’s sight, making Him very angry with your actions.”

James 4:4
“You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the World is enmity with God? Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the World, makes himself an enemy of God.”

Countries are being invaded and nations are being destroyed in the name of freedom and democracy. The evil-doers are claiming to be the reformers and helpers. Above all, they claim to be believers in God! In fact, they are just hypocrites – corrupt and evil. The Bible refers to such people:

2 Peter 2:19
“… Promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.”

2 Peter 2:2
“Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful immorality. And because of these teachers, the way of truth will be slandered.”

Isaiah 5:20
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!”

These are the End times. We have been warned by the Scriptures about it and about those friends of the Devil who are spreading hate, fear and war for the world hegemony.
We see now the corrupt preachers, ignorant Mullahs, evil-spreading churches, child-molesting pastors, and many false prophets. It is only going to get worse. The only remedy is that we revert to God and spread the truth. The fake ‘believers’ need to be exposed. Deceitful people with evil character are taking over all important and powerful positions in our world today, spreading lies and false teachings as authentic ‘religion’.
Corrupt preachers have teamed up with corrupt and evil politicians and both are living luxury lives at the expense of the poor taxpayers.


Hosea 9:9
“They have sunk deep into corruption, as in the days of Gibeah. God will remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins.”

2. Isaiah 1:4
“Woe to the sinful nation, a people whose guilt is great, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the Lord.”

Proverbs 3:33
“The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked, but He blesses the dwelling of the righteous.”

There is no honor and dignity! What we have lost is invaluable. We have lost honesty, contentment, patience, modesty and with that our peace and happiness. Money cannot get you those precious commodities. We need to revert to the One and Only Who can provide us with those blessings. We need to revert to Allah and follow His commands to achieve peace and happiness.

We are fighting wars left, right and center. What we really need to fight is our own self, our desires and our greed. And that requires a lot of courage!


On Eid-al-Adha, I would like to remind you of the Divine Message that is contained in the last 10 verses of Surah (Chapter 89) al-Fajr (meaning: Dawn) of the Holy Quran. Allah, the Almighty, says:

89:15
“Now, as for man, when his Lord tries him,
giving him honor and gifts, then says he, (puffed up),
"My Lord has honored me."
89:16
“But when He tries him, restricting his subsistence
for him, then says he (in despair),
"My Lord has humiliated me!"
89:17
“Nay, nay! But you honor not the orphans!”
89:18
“Nor do you encourage one another to feed the poor!”
89:19
“And you devour inheritance - all with greed!”
89:20
”And you love wealth with inordinate love!”

Allah has clearly defined the root-cause of all our problems: We are committing crimes against other human beings, especially the down-trodden, the weak, the orphans, and the poor with our greed. We are violating other people’s rights and spreading corruption. We are running a fatal race of materialism defying all rules and norms. In other words we are promoting corruption and injustice on the earth. And believe me, Allah does not like that a bit. Don’t you know that ‘all that is in the Heavens, the Earth and in-between, belongs to Allah’? You cannot be allowed to destroy that! Therefore, Allah reminds us of the warning and the consequences on the Day of Judgment, in the following verses:

89:21
”Nay! When the earth is pounded to powder;”
89:22
”And your Lord comes, and His angels, rank upon rank;”
89:23
”And Hell, that Day, is brought (face to face),
on that day will man remember, but how will
that remembrance profit him?”
89:24
”He will say: "Ah! Would that I had sent forth
(good deeds) for this life (in the Hereafter)!"
89:25
”For, that Day, His chastisement will be such that
no chastisement could be worse than His.”
(al-Quran 89:15-25)

The earlier nations had the same problem and they were punished. They were destroyed because they disobeyed Allah and spread corruption and evil in the earth. We can learn a lesson from their ruins around the world. God sent to them Prophets with the similar messages but they defied and revolted.


The Bible says:

Genesis 6:12
“God observed all this corruption in the world, for everyone on earth was corrupt.”

2 Timothy 3:1-5
“You must realize, however, that in the last days difficult times will come. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unfeeling, uncooperative, slanderous, degenerate, brutal, hateful of what is good, traitors, reckless, conceited, and lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. They will hold to an outward form of godliness but deny its power. Stay away from such people!”

Psalm 14:1
“Fools say to themselves, “There is no God.” They are corrupt and commit evil deeds; not one of them practices what is good.”

Deuteronomy 16:19
"You shall not distort justice; you shall not be partial, and you shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.”

Psalm 37:12-13
“The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord laughs at him, for He sees his day is coming.”

Psalm 94:21
“They band themselves together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.”

We have abandoned righteousness; we have discarded compassion. We are controlled by our greed, lust and never-ending desires. We are speeding towards Hell and there seems to be no ‘speed-breakers’ on the way. Can we still reflect and repent (and be saved)? Time is running out!

PAK INDEPENDENCE DAY: Corrupt Politicians Disappointed The Nation, Hurt The Country.


Remembering Aug. 14:
Pakistan Independence Day

Corrupt Politicians
Disappointed The Nation,
Hurt The Country.

(M. Javed Naseem)


Pakistan celebrated 71 years of independence this month (14th August). There is a mixed balance sheet of gains and losses on the economic front. On the political front, it’s only anger and reaction, while on the emotional front it’s too much of hurt, pain and frustration. Generally, the overall development is marred by corruption and inefficiency or incompetence.

Golden Era of Pakistan:
Looking back, 1960’s was the golden era of Pakistan in all fields. After 1970, the graph went downwards. When I left Pakistan in 1969 for Germany, I purchased US Dollars from the State Bank of Pakistan, Lahore, at the rate of Rs.4.75 per dollar. Yes! I repeat: Pak Rs.4.75 to a dollar. And today? I am ashamed to mention it that it has been around Rs.100.oo (more or less) for many years.

When I traveled to Europe with Green Copy (Pakistan passport) and I felt so happy and special that I did not require any visa for any European country, except the Communist Bulgaria and Switzerland. But even in Bulgaria, I was granted visa at the port of entry for $5.00 fee. The only other visa I needed was of Afghanistan. Europe was so friendly and welcoming for Pakistanis. Those days, Pakistan was a like a brand name!


******************************************
In my Pakistan, US Dollar was worth Rs.4.75,
British Pound was worth Rs.9.50, Sugar was
Rs.1.50 per kg (ser), Butter Oil (Desi Ghee)
was Rs.4.50 per kg/ser, Daal Chana was Rs.0.50
per kg/ser, Milk was Rs.0.50 per Litre/ser,
Yoghurt was Rs.0.75 per kg/ser, Tandoori
Roti was Rs.0.10 per loaf (Rs.0.25 in the 1970s).
No visa for 90% of the West European countries!

******************************************

In New York city, I met an American lady doctor, an eye specialist. She told me she had fond memories of Pakistan as she got her professional medical training and internship in a Pakistani hospital in the cornea transplant surgery.

Pakistan Helped Japan:
Sir Zafar Ullah Khan, Pakistan's Foreign Minister, was the first Asian at the time to preside over the UN General Assembly and the International Court of Justice. He supported the application of Japan for entry into the United Nations. Few would know that the only Head of State ever to be received at the airport by the Emperor of Japan, Hirohito himself, was the President of Pakistan, Ayub Khan.

When the Japanese peace treaty was signed at San Francisco in 1951, Pakistan was described as the ‘Tower of Strength’ by the U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles.

Japan partnered with Pakistan in their initial growth seeking supplier's credit from Pakistan. Pakistan played a significant role during 1947-51 in lifting the Occupation and restoration of Japan's sovereignty. Pakistan waived off war reparations to Japan to help build its economy.

After the Second World War, Japan was in shambles as its economy was destroyed. Pakistan came to the forefront again and shipped 60,000 tons of rice to Japan in the 1950’s to meet the acute shortage of food in Japan caused by the war. The shipment read: ‘Donated Rice to the Emperor of Japan by the Government of Pakistan’.


Pakistan Helped Germany:
By 1953, Germany also had debts based on reconstruction loans made immediately after the end of the Second World War. Germany’s creditors included Greece, Spain, Pakistan and Egypt, as well as the US, UK and France.

In 1963, under President Ayub Khan, Pakistan dished out Rs120 million loan to Germany, the largest European economy today, for a period of 20 years. At that time, the parity of the then Deutsche Mark was below the Pakistani Rupee. As per the Gazette notification of Pakistan in the 1950’s, the value of British Pound Sterling was Rs.9.50, US $3.50 and with all European currencies below par with even German Mark at Pak Rs.0.75. Pakistan was one of the strongest economies of the world. Pakistan's economy in the 1950s and 1960s was amongst the fastest growing in the world and the most recognized in Asia.

Pakistan Helped South Korea:
The war-torn South Korea consulted Pakistan and it was the Planning Commission of Pakistan with Dr. Mahboob-ul Haq, which helped them with their development plans. South Korea is now one of the world’s largest economies.

Pakistan Helped U.A.Emirates:
Pakistan helped the desert Emirates (the old Gulf States) with construction of its infra-structure and establishing an airline (Emirates Airlines). Its first flight was from Dubai to Karachi.

Pakistan Helped Many Countries:
Pakistan helped Malaysia too when the constitutional experts from Pakistan extended their assistance in preparing the Malaysian constitution. Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and other countries in the region, all looked up to Pakistan for cooperation in different fields ranging from economic to defense collaboration.

Pakistan’s educational institutions and universities were held in high esteem by all Asian, African, Middle Eastern and even European countries. Egyptians, Indonesians, Iranians, Arabian and African students considered themselves very honored to get admission into Pakistani universities.

That was my Pakistan and I miss it. I doubt if any present leader is capable of bringing back its lost glory to Pakistan. Now, Pakistan is occupied by the hypocrites (Munafiqeen) who call the corrupt, dishonest and anti-Islam politicians ‘Shaheed’. They are getting the kind of leaders they deserve!

A Lesson of History For
Dishonest Pakistani Politicians
And The Ignorant Masses!
Learn To Appreciate Pakistan!

Today, on the 71st anniversary, Pakistan should be analyzing its achievements and failures (gains and losses). It is accountability time again. But when I look back, it hurts too much. So, instead of going through the painful analysis again, I have decided to remind all Pakistanis of the goals Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah had mentioned in his speech to the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan, on 11th of August, 1947. See for yourself what you still need to do to achieve those goals, and make Pakistan a great country. Let’s hope that we learn lessons from our past mistakes and march on the right path to make this country a model Islamic state.


Excerpts From The Speech of
M. A. Jinnah To The Pak Constituent Assembly:

The Father of the Nation, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, said:
“The Constituent Assembly has got two main functions to perform. The first is the very onerous and responsible task of framing the future constitution of Pakistan and the second of functioning as a full and complete sovereign body as the Federal Legislature of Pakistan.”

Legislation, Law & Order:
“Dealing with our first function in this Assembly, I cannot make any well-considered pronouncement at this moment, but I shall say a few things as they occur to me. The first and the foremost thing that I would like to emphasize is this:
Remember that you are now a sovereign legislative body and you have got all the powers. It therefore places on you the gravest responsibility as to how you should take your decisions. The first observation that I would like to make is this: You will no doubt agree with me that the first duty of a government is to maintain law and order, so that the life, property and religious beliefs of its subjects are fully protected by the State.”

Corruption & Bribery:
“The second thing that occurs to me is this: One of the biggest curses from which India is suffering – I do not say that other countries are free from it, but I think our condition is much worse – is bribery and corruption. That really is a poison. We must put that down with an iron hand, and I hope that you will take adequate measures as soon as it is possible for this Assembly to do so.”


Black-marketing & Hoarding:
“Black-marketing is another curse. Well, I know that black-marketers are frequently caught and punished. Judicial sentences are passed, or sometimes fines only are imposed. Now you have to tackle this monster, which today is a colossal crime against society, in our distressed conditions, when we constantly face shortage of food and other essential commodities of life. A citizen who does black-marketing commits, I think, a greater crime than the biggest and most grievous of crimes. These black-marketers are really knowing, intelligent, and ordinarily responsible people, and when they indulge in black-marketing, I think they ought to be very severely punished, because they undermine the entire system of control and regulation of foodstuffs and essential commodities, and cause wholesale starvation and want and even death.”

Nepotism & Jobbery:
“The next thing that strikes me is this: Here again it is a legacy which has been passed on to us. Along with many other things, good and bad, has arrived this great evil -- the evil of nepotism and jobbery. I want to make it quite clear that I shall never tolerate any kind of jobbery (i.e., corrupt employment practices), nepotism, or any influence directly or indirectly brought to bear upon me. Whenever I will find that such a practice is in vogue or is continuing anywhere, low or high, I shall certainly not countenance it.”


Two-Nation Partition:
“I know there are people who do not quite agree with the division of India and the partition of the Punjab and Bengal. Much has been said against it, but now that it has been accepted, it is the duty of every one of us to loyally abide by it and honorably act according to the agreement which is now final and binding on all. But you must remember, as I have said, that this mighty revolution that has taken place is unprecedented.”

“One can quite understand the feeling that exists between the two communities wherever one community is in majority and the other is in minority. But the question is, whether it was possible or practicable to act otherwise than what has been done. A division had to take place. On both sides, in Hindustan and Pakistan, there are sections of people who may not agree with it, who may not like it; but in my judgment there was no other solution, and I am sure future history will record its verdict in favor of it. And what is more, it will be proved by actual experience as we go on that that was the only solution of India's constitutional problem.”

“Any idea of a united India could never have worked, and in my judgment it would have led us to terrific disaster. Maybe that view is correct; maybe it is not; that remains to be seen. All the same, in this division it was impossible to avoid the question of minorities being in one dominion or the other. Now that was unavoidable. There is no other solution. Now what shall we do? Now, if we want to make this great State of Pakistan happy and prosperous, we should wholly and solely concentrate on the well-being of the people, and especially of the masses and the poor. If you will work in co-operation, forgetting the past, burying the hatchet, you are bound to succeed. If you change your past and work together in a spirit that every one of you, no matter to what community he belongs, no matter what relations he had with you in the past, no matter what is his color, caste, or creed, is first, second, and last a citizen of this State with equal rights, privileges, and obligations, there will be no end to the progress you will make.”

Minorities’ Rights:
“I cannot emphasize it too much. We should begin to work in that spirit, and in course of time all these angularities of the majority and minority communities, the Hindu community and the Muslim community -- because even as regards Muslims you have Pathans, Punjabis, Shias, Sunnis and so on, and among the Hindus you have Brahmins, Vashnavas, Khatris, also Bengalees, Madrasis and so on -- will vanish. Indeed if you ask me, this has been the biggest hindrance in the way of India to attain the freedom and independence, and but for this we would have been free people long ago.”

One Free Nation:
“No power can hold another nation, and specially a nation of 400 million souls, in subjection; nobody could have conquered you, and even if it had happened, nobody could have continued its hold on you for any length of time, but for this. Therefore, we must learn a lesson from this. You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place or worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed -- that has nothing to do with the business of the State.”

“We are starting in the days where there is no discrimination, no distinction between one community and another, no discrimination between one caste or creed and another. We are starting with this fundamental principle: that we are all citizens, and equal citizens, of one State.”
“Now I think we should keep that in front of us as our ideal, and you will find that in course of time Hindus would cease to be Hindus, and Muslims would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith of each individual, but in the political sense as citizens of the State.”

“Well, gentlemen, I do not wish to take up any more of your time; and thank you again for the honor you have done to me. I shall always be guided by the principles of justice and fair play without any, as is put in the political language, prejudice or ill-will; in other words, partiality or favoritism. My guiding principle will be justice and complete impartiality, and I am sure that with your support and co-operation, I can look forward to Pakistan becoming one of the greatest Nations of the world.”
