Sheikh Imran Hosein- Iqbāl and Pakistan’s Moment of Truth – FULL ESSAY
By Sheikh Imran Hosein
Introductory comment
Time is running out for the republican State of Pakistan. Only those who see with one eye will fail to recognize the evil reality that clients of Israel now control strategic decision-making both in Pakistan’s government as well as in the Armed Forces. The writing appears to be on the wall for Pakistan – unless Pakistani Muslims can rid themselves of those clients of Israel. The best way to do so appears to be through massive peaceful public demonstrations similar to those which brought down the USSR with narry a nuclear risk, rather than civil war which will automatically invite external military intervention that will eventually dismember Pakistan.
Scholars of Islam have a duty to prepare Muslims for destructive attacks that are soon to be launched which will target not only Pakistan but perhaps, Turkey and Iran as well. The situation is not entirely hopeless since at least the Iranian Armed Forces do not appear to be under the control of Israel’s clients. In fact Iran seems to have already succeeded in building a strategic alliance with Russia. It is interesting to note that an authentic Hadīth has prophesied an end-time Muslim alliance with Rūm (i.e., Byzantine Christianity that was based in Constantinople), and Russia is part of Rūm. The Saudi and Pakistani governments and Armed Forces on the other hand, are allied with the Anglo-American-Israeli alliance which does not form part of Rūm.
Sheikh Imran Hosein- Iqbal and Pakistan’s Moment of Truth
By Sheikh Imran Hosein
Time is running out for Pakistan. Scholars of Islam have a duty to prepare Muslims for destructive attacks that are soon to be launched which will target not only Pakistan but perhaps, Turkey and Iran as well. Those who control power in Britain, USA, and Israel, and who now have a strategic ally in India, are already waging unjust war on Islam and Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia and elsewhere, but most of all in the Holy Land (otherwise known as Palestine). Their ruthlessness is such that they would wage war even upon their own people if such were deemed to be necessary. The 9/11 terrorist attack on America which killed thousands of innocent people was an ominous example of what they are capable of doing. Their goal is to deliver to Israel the rule over the whole world, and this cannot be achieved so long as Pakistan possesses nuclear military power. The recent US military occupation of Haiti in consequence of a massive earthquake for which the US Armed Forces seem to have been mysteriously prepared (right down to drills conducted on the very eve of the earthquake) displays for the umpteenth time the extent to which they would commit monstrously evil deeds in pursuit of goals such as the overthrow of Venezuela’s courageous government.
It’s time to herald the Arabic science that prefigured Darwin and Newton

In this era of intolerance and cultural tension, the west needs to appreciate the fertile scholarship that flowered with Islam
Watching the daily news stories of never-ending troubles, hardship, misery and violence across the Arab world and central Asia, it is not surprising that many in the west view the culture of these countries as backward, and their religion as at best conservative and often as violent and extremist.I am on a mission to dismiss a crude and inaccurate historical hegemony and present the positive face of Islam. It has never been more timely or more resonant to explore the extent to which western cultural and scientific thought is indebted to the work, a thousand years ago, of Arab and Muslim thinkers.
Democracy-The Elected Dictatorship
By Komal Hashmi
Democracy is a political system in which government is either carried out by the people (direct democracy), or the power to govern is granted to elected representatives (republicanism). It has essentially two basic principles, equality and freedom. All citizens of a democratic state have equality before the law and equality in access to power, they also have certain legitimized freedoms and liberties, which are generally protected by a constitution.
The Rise of the Far Right in Europe

The BBC Question Time programme on 22nd October 2009 was host to a controversial member of the panel; Nick Griffin, Leader of the British National Party (BNP). Mr Griffin was openly given a platform by the BBC to express and defend BNP views towards Muslims and ethnic minorities etc.This has provoked much debate about the limits of ‘free speech’ and a question mark on whether a plural society should be tolerant of far right and fascist views. Reactions from politicians towards the BBC’s decision to welcome Nick Griffin to Question time have yet again been exploited for party political broadcasts and winning hearts and minds.
O Muslims! For how long will you sit and watch your women and children blow-up to pieces?

The bloodbath in the mosque is exactly in-line with Obama’s new policy for Pakistan
PRESS STATEMENT By Hizbut Tahrir Pakistan
America is conducting mass murder with the help of Pakistani government
HT strongly condemns the merciless slaughter of Muslims in a mosque in Rawalpindi which killed more than 37 Muslims including 17 children. The people are aware that such blasts that kill pious Muslims are not organized by Muslims rather these operations are conducted by the private killing squads of American intelligence agencies and Blackwater and DynCorp. We have already witnessed similar examples when bomb blasts were conducted outside a Masjid in Meena Bazaar Peshawar and inside Islamic University Islamabad. The aim of these blasts is to maintain the public opinion for the American war in Pakistan and creating conducive environment for military operations in other areas. Obama himself confessed in his speech few days ago that bomb blasts played a pivotal role in creating public opinion for the American war. He said: “In the past, there have been those in Pakistan who have argued that the struggle against extremism is not their fight… But in recent years, as innocents have been killed from Karachi to Islamabad… Public opinion has turned”. Alas! The traitor rulers are providing America full protection in this killing spree. The presence of American arms depot in Sihala Police Training School and government’s patronage and protection of the killers of Blackwater’s officials in Islamabad is an open evidence of the government’s unstinting support to America in this bloodbath. America has already announced her fear from the sincere and pious military officers in the Pakistan armed forces. Yesterday, the mosque was attacked at a time when senior military officials were attending their Jumma prayers. Hence it is not remote to think that America was actually targeting certain military officers having Islamic mentality. Hizb ut-Tahrir demands from the sincere elements in the masses and the Army to mobilize with Hizb in its endeavour to expel America from the region and establish the Khilafah.
Continuity of economic deception from Dictatorship to Democracy
General Musharraf took over the reigns of power in 1999 from Nawaz Sharif with the Pakistan economy on the verge of bankruptcy. So desperate was the situation Nawaz Sharif toured the world visiting Pakistanis with a begging bowl requesting them to invest in Pakistan due to the sanctions imposed on Pakistan for carrying out nuclear tests. Incoherent, short-term policies had resulted in a minority of people benefiting immensely, who incidentally were directly linked to the Sharif family.
Both the IMF and the World Bank have consistently praised the Musharraf government for solid macroeconomic recovery and saving the Pakistan economy from the brink of economic collapse. They cite the $128bn generated under his tenure. Many commentators are eager to explain that the Musharraf government has made substantial macroeconomic reforms since taking over the economy in 1999. The argument of the few Musharraf loyalists being that he has brought a degree of stability to Pakistan that the country never knew under civilian rule.
Part 1 of this two part series will assess this claim and analyse the current state of Pakistan’s economy which shows it is in a far more precarious position:
Geopolitics behind overpopulation
By Sharique Naeem
The geopolitics of today, steered by the imperial powers with their ulterior designs, perplexes one by its ability of cunning deceit. The capitalist system, which dominates the global arena, deems its intricate and institutionalized failures as external evil, and then strives to exorcize them with fuming abstract notions that emanate from its own capital-oriented principles. Consider for instance the issue of ‘overpopulation’.
