    Guys and Gals: We have to develop a mindset that we should be ready to protect our democracy and freedom by force of arms if needed. It is a crying shame that having a standing army of half million souls, we have to talk about protecting our nation from the Army itself.

    I wish and pray that our young officers corps realize that they have to not only defend the land but the constitution to the death. When a Jurnail gives an order to usurp power, they should say NO! and arrest him!

    I wish we develop such soldiers in our army and then there will be NO HATRED in the people against the brave soldiers of Pak Army (because they are from us and they do all the dying for jurnails who are proxies controlled by remote control from London)

    Sorry, but Freedom ain’t free. It must be defended by Force of Arms by the People!

    @Tab’an Khamosh

    I don’t think arms are needed. We have already too much of this thanks to Zia-Ul-Hulk. What we need is a firm mindset about perseverance of democracy as a sacred right. When the army knows that the people will come on streets in great numbers then no army jawan will dare to fire on their brothers and sisters. Your point regarding educating the army is a necessity we need to implement.

    @Saqib: I meant in the sense that ” a stitch in time saves nine ” .. Problem is that our jiyala 111 brigade knows that there will be no resistance from Pakistani’s when they steal power from us ever time american needs to bring a CEO to do their dirty work in this region!

    We do have weapons and so do the Americans.. but just imagine an American general declaring Martial Law.. they will have so many people resisting them on the streets they could never pull it off (just assuming.. americans are becoming pretty pathetic now)

    This threat of violent resistance to Usurpation will keep the tin-pots in check! I would say that we should put in the constitution that if a General takes power, him and all his family should be executed at the first chance… raise the stakes a bit

    for now it’s been a cakewalk for these people! They need know there will be violent and deadly resistance to their actions.. then we won’t have to wait for 10 years until they decide to leave…

    The Prime Minister and civilian govt should be protected by civilian police with proper weapons.. so they can fight with the Army trying to jump the walls of the PM house and the TV stations.. What a joke we have to even talk about these things when we have half million men under arms.. white elephant!

    Then it is a different story. We need to educate the army and at the same time prepare a highly trained police force which is taught to respect the constitution and taught how to use force against anybody who dare to think violating the constitution.

    The young army officers should watch movie “A few good men” to learn that just because an order comes from the top does not mean that it should be complied with blindly. Army should learn how to protect its citizens even at the hands of its own corrupt leadership.

    The above article has mentioned, without naming, that two senior PPP lawyers have met with the leaders of the lawyers movement and offered them this package which was immediately rejected. We need to watch this closely and the civil society should put pressure on PPP to refrain from doing this.

    @nota

    Your post reminded me of an Ayah in Surah- Baqarah in which Allah (swt) said “The deaf the dumb the blind they will not repent”. I have given you numerous evidences from Quran and hadith to prove my point but you stuck in one, try to read the Tafseer of this Ayah and you would understand the context, but not a Tafseer written by your masters, I mean BUSH & MUSH.

    I have said and would repeat it again that any body who does not believe in hadith or Sunnah of our beloved prophet (saw) are KAFIR and there is no disagreement amongst the scholars of Islam on this issue and neither it is open for any other interpretation.

    Why don’t you accept it and show us your original evil face which you have hided behind the mask???

    From the language you have used one thing becomes evident that you are a characterless person and a hardcore secular-democrat because they often resort to such ridicules name calling and pathetic responses which shows there frustration and bankruptcy of thoughts. Do think 100 times before saying anything about Islam, even then I doubt that any thing good will come out from your dead, inactive and evil brain cells.

    Moreover your understanding of cleanliness is again a clear evidence of your stupidness and utter ignorance about Islam.

    @Revivalist @nota

    I agree with you revivalist. but I can’t see nota’s post any where. Here is what I think of the sbject anyway. And this is by nomeans a detailed account. As the scholars have written much on this issue.

    The Quraan is a book that requires much explanation as it has many Aayas that have deep rooted meaning. There are other aayas regarding Ahkaam that require explanation.
    For example, Allah says read namaaz but Allah does not say how many times so, in order to find out how many namaaz, how to and when to read, we have to look at hadith. Yes, the Quraan is the foundation of Islaam but Hadith is the foundation of the Quraan.
    Also Allah says in the Quraan many times that I have sent a messenger to you who reads Allahs verses on to you and gives you the knowledge of the book. Clearly by knowledge of the book it is meant Tafseer of the Quraan because Allah has already mention verses which refers to the Quraanic text.

    Allah also has promised in the Quraan that Allah will guard the Quraan Himself. Because, the Quraan could not be inderstood by itself, without seeking commentary from the Messenger of Allah. Allah’s protection also covers the hadith. This does not mean that hadiths were never fabricated it means that in every era right from the time of the Prophet STAWS there were measures to insure that fabricated hadith are removed. Subsequent to the Prophet STAWS Allah created Ulama whose efforts were beyond capabilities of any scholar today who put checks in place and purified hadith from any false narrations and hence the Sihah Sitta came in to existence. Most of these compilations were immediately after the time of the phrophet STAWS and rules that were drafted have since then protected the Hadith compilations. This was the wisdom of Allah as the Quraan cannot be understood without Hadith.

    This is why Allah also says in the Quraan Wa ateeullaha wa ateeurrasool(obay Allah and obay his Messenger). If hadith is not covered by that divine protection then why did Allah say WA ateeurrasool(obey the messenger)? Also, if we believe that the Quraan is Allahs unaltered word then how do we know that? We know that the Quraan is Quraan because Allah’s messenger said:

    This is Quraan (Allah’s word) and this is Hadith(my word). The same sihabah who wrote the Quran and preserved it and the same sihabah preserved the hadith. Some impurities that were introduced by the Jews mainly were eliminated immediately.

    So in short you cannot Question the authenticity of the hadith just as you can’t question the authenticity of the Quraan.

    Bro I agree with you 100% and this is the correct understand about the authenticity of hadith but Mr.nota believe the exactly the opposite. When I asked him the same question of prayer you know what was his answer? He said there is no method of prayers. Can you believe that?

    @ All Bro & sis,

    The west started the battle to reform Islam and is pushing and forcing Muslims to change Islam. This is being achieved by blaming Islam for the existence of terrorism and by directly attacking some of the thoughts of Islam. The aim here is to push Muslims into twisting Islam under this pressure. Hence any defense of Islam needs to be undertaken with knowledge and without appeasement. This book produces by khilafah.com addresses the propaganda offensive of the west to change Islam and how Muslims should respond

    http://www.khilafah.com/kcom/multimedia/books-new/book-islamic-reformation-the-battle-for-hearts-&-minds.html

    The seeds that Mush has sown and the policies he has put in place will keep eating Pakistan from within. The process of undermining Pakistan won’t slow down because we have a new group of opportunists taking charge in Islamabad and the US has all its plans for undermining Pakistan lined up.

    Yes. President is a part of the parliament. Musharraf is not a legally elected president. He is just illegally occupying the presdiential chair.

    Great news everyone. The DG MI, Sehba Musharraf’s nephew (bhanja), the guy who was instrumental in the CJP reference case, has been removed from his position and transferred.

    These are good signs. AG resigns(true?), corps commanders tranferred and now the right hand of Musharraf bites dust. This dawn is a result of one man’s following the letter and spirit of his office; COAS Kiani. If he was anything like Musharraf he could have been another Yahya after Ayub.

    I was a little pessimistic about the future after MQM joined PPP/PMLN but this piece of news means that Musharraf is teetering on the abyss and MQM might have abandoned him.

    @mbokhari: It’s funny how he filled all key positions (saddam style) with his relatives but no-one seems to wonder about that.. The nepotistic nature of army really bothers me.

    Wasn’t born with a silver spoon, but his father just happen to bring 7 lakh rupees to govt ofPakistan because he just happened to be secretary of interior (ref: Atiqa oddo “interview”)

    This guy was well connected in 1947 , when most muhajirs (mainly in Punjab) managed to enter Pakistan by the skin of their teeth and a tattered shirt on their back. And here we have this ghareeb ka bachach bringing 7 lakh rupees for Govt of Pakistan in a trunk..

    and then our moshe says he wasn’t born in privilege.

    why am I ranting about this a$$hole again?

    BTW, though I appreciate Kiyani’s restraint, I think this also points out the major flaw in our power structures. It is basically luck of the draw. and taht is what scares me.. the likelihood of getting a$$holes like moshe is much higher than professional soldiers like Kiyani…This is a weekness that our staff colleges need to address by including a course on Constitutionalism and by nurturing democratic values in the officer’s class.

    Sh!t seems to attract sh!t. A man is known by the company he keeps. Moshe (nice one!) is a keptocrat, compulsive narcissist with a Napoleon complex. His dream team has Wasi Zafar, Sher Afgan, Sh Rashid, Chaudries and other dregs of humanity. I seriously don’t mind political corruption in Pakistan as such since our political culture thrives on it and won’t survive without it. How else is an MNA supposed to recoup his election expenses? This is a societal malaise, not a personal failing. If we had political parties’ reform with centralized campaign finance, it would go somewhere. Without it, I see no big tragedy when politicians are corrupt. Where in the world are they different?

    But the military. C’est une autre chose. Totally something else. Anyway, I agree with your basic thesis.

    We need something like this to curtail the habitual raping of the constitution. Samuel Huntington (before he started clashes of civilizations) wrote a very influential book in 1957 called, “The Soldier and the State: The Theory and Politics of Civil-Military Relations” A must read.

    A few days ago we discussed Gen Macarthur. I am fixated on the Macarthur-Truman duel and how that relates to the woes of our degraded Republic. Truman fired Macarthur for insubordination. This is what he said in his memoirs.


    “I have always believed that civilian control of the military is one of the strongest foundations of our system of free government. Many of our people are descended from men and women who fled their native countries to escape the oppression of militarism. We in America have sometimes failed to give the soldier and the sailor their due, and it has hurt us. But we have always jealously guarded the constitutional provision that prevents the military from taking over the government from the authorities, elected by the people, in whom the power resides.”

    that book seems like a good read.. but 456 pgs.. oy! I should look for a coles-notes version hehe..

    You know the problem (IMO) is that we have never had the republic, the “fix” was in before Pakistan even came into existence… seems like sheer will of the people has kept it going (albeit in a downward spiral) for so long.

    Maybe one day we will be a republic and a nation of laws.. hopefully in our lifetimes. Maybe our military will also compete with the indians in the filed of “respect for constitution” . While they’re at it of course, with the “my Ghori is bigger than your Agni contest.”

    “US Presidential candidates show how democracy is corrupted by money”.

    The reality is that the American political dream is nothing more than a myth; witness the huge amounts of money being spent by just a few elite candidates shows this is completely untrue; millions of dollars are being spent on sophisticated election campaigns. The reality is that in America, just as elsewhere, Democracy has never fulfilled it’s promise; the influence of money has ensured that Democracy remains a flawed system of rule in favour of the rich and privileges.

    In the US Presidential election campaign of 2004, George Bush received a staggering $292.6 million dollars in private donations, whilst his then Democrat opponent John Kerry received $253.9 million dollars. The third independent candidate, Ralph Nader, had just over $4.5 million dollars to spend. The total cost of the US Presidential and Congressional election campaigns in 2004 reached $3.9 billion dollars. In the 2008 election Barack Obama has raised $193 million dollars, Hillary Clinton $169 million dollars and John McCain $64 million dollars thus far. In theory the criteria to be a Presidential candidate are very simple: The candidate must be a natural born US citizen, must have been resident for 14 years in the US and be at least 35 years of age. Yet given the huge obscene amounts of money being raised and spent on television advertisements, radio campaigns and other forms of election marketing, the chance of an ordinary person being able to stand as a realistic candidate are nil. Money represents a natural ‘market barrier’ to entry.

    I thinking he is looking for some way to hide out in the near future since every one knows about him now and he would find no place in Islamabad.
    Even worse should Abdul Qayum be treated but he will escape in a far better way since enjoys his relation in all parties so he will find some place in some nook or corner.

    A former Afghan intelligence officer, whose experience in Kandahar spans three decades, agreed that the Taliban are unaware of their masters.

    “The ISI co-ordinates Taliban activities, for sure,” the retired officer said. “But the ISI has a few members who are leading the Taliban and the Taliban don’t always understand the Pakistan role behind them. If the Taliban were aware they are puppets, they would stop fighting.”

    Washing Post reports: “US Envoys Visit Pakistani Frontier”
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/26/AR2008032600636_2.html

    I found this annoying:

    The locally recruited Frontier Corps is supposed to take the lead in fighting the militants from the regular army, which is composed mainly of ethnic Punjabis viewed as occupiers in the Pashtun-dominated northwest.

    I am not aware of such resentments, is this true or a usual propaganda from the West?

    If you read this report, you will see that this gay-duo of Negroponte & Boucher are roaming around freely all over the country and meeting whomever they want to. WTF is that?

    The report states that:

    Senior U.S. envoys visited Pakistan’s northwest frontier Wednesday to promote lavishly funded plans to boost security and development in a region that could be harboring Osama bin Laden.

    This is very typical of the US and the other Westerm countries that they throw money at us so that they can have a free hand in our internal affairs. The parliment should politely refuse to accept this “lavish” package. It is time that we start relying on ourselves.

    The two Amercians had planned their arrival quite earlier and that was not a sudden visit. But that implies that the Government including Musharraf knew the arrival time as well. and so he planned everything so that their arrival fell just on the day the prime minister was taking oath. That was the reason he planned the call for NA session at these times.
    Don’t discredit Musharraf for that.

    @nota, TK and mbokhari (Intellectuals of the 21st century :)

    Your responses make me laugh laterally as well as reveal your intellectual shallowness and daftness. Try to produce something mature rather then coming up consistently with childish posts.

    Anyways let me share with you guys the Myth of 21st century.

    It is said that “democracy is the rule of the masses for the masses by the masses, where the masses freely elect their leaders”.

    But the Reality is:

    “The masses do not choose but they are constrained by the choices given to them. The reality of this so-called freedom of choice extends only to the two or three major parties contesting for power. They are all funded and backed by the corporates”, Inst it?

    Please ignore our posts as they are not addressed to you, as I ignore your posts, ideas and lack of intelligence ‘;-)

    But we are not discussing democracy today are we? I believe we were talking about the flatness of earth. Come on, don’t be coy. Tell me, is the Earth flat?

    I should warn you that you could slip into the depths of hell if you believe the earth is round, as per the fatwa of Sheikh Abdullah Ibn Baz.

    Guardian: Pakistan’s new leaders tell US: We are no longer your killing field
    The Bush administration is scrambling to engage with Pakistan’s new rulers as power flows from its strong ally, President Pervez Musharraf, to a powerful civilian government buoyed by anti-American sentiment.

    Top diplomats John Negroponte and Richard Boucher travelled to a mountain fortress near the Afghan border yesterday as part of a hastily announced visit that has received a tepid reception.

    On Tuesday, senior coalition partner Nawaz Sharif gave the visiting Americans a public scolding for using Pakistan as a “killing field” and relying too much on Musharraf.

    Yesterday the new prime minister, Yousaf Raza Gilani, said he warned President George Bush in a phone conversation that he would prioritise talking as well as shooting in the battle against Islamist extremism. “He said that a comprehensive approach is required in this regard, specially combining a political approach with development,” a statement said. ….
