Re: [ALOCHONA] Re: East Bengal, East Pakistan, Bangladesh, Assam, War Crimes and Genocides



Why Mr. Shamim Chowdhury affraid of the trials of  collaborators of the Bristish Governement who caused atrocities and killings of many innocent people after 1905?

Question or discussion was about the "trial of razakars" but not "invaders". Perhaps, Mr. Chowdhury's "fertile" brain has diluted everything, examines by one eye and prescribes one medicine for all without diagnosing the roots of the diseases.

Many members of this forum are much older than us but their brains have not damaged yet to recollect the horrible atrocities committed by the people which I have mentioned before. Ask those members who went through those dark era.

I have one mouth, one head and one belief since my birth. Like my faith on my religion Islam, I also believed the "human rights" principle of the United States of America before 1975 when every Awami League leaders, workers and supporters relied heavily on the "socialist" principle of the former USSR. Many of those leaders, workers or supporters like you have changed their minds, thoughts and ideology from socialist to human rights and ask for justices after forgetting their injustices to others before 1975.

Thanks to those patriot freedom fighters who changed Bangladesh from the rule of one party "BAKSHAL" to multiple parties today. Many leaders, even Sheikh Mujibur Rahman or current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed did not take part actively in the liberation war of Bangladesh. How they will feel the pain of the sufferings and struggles of the freedoms fighters unless they actively fought in the war? Any step mother can never feel birth pain of a biological mother.

Thanks to those freedom fighters who felt pains, came forward and sacrificed their lives for the good and noble of causes of Bangladesh. I believe most of the BAL leaders, workers and supporters are the beneficiaries of the sacrifices of the those patriot freedom fighters and living in a free world today. Also, many Bangladeshi people can come to the USA today because of the actions of the freedom fighters who changed Bangladesh alignment to the USA from the USSR.

If you realy want to do that please start with Muslim invaders from sultans to moguls for killing thousands of Hindus and looting there temples.

Mr. Anis, please excuse my language, you are a callous person. Your hatred against other religion made you blind and lost your human quality. Please stop showing your hate mongering extremist idea and be a real Muslim who loves Allah's creation as a human not judging by their religion.

One can easily guess your alignment in favor of war criminals; you want to protect them by shrouding their crimes and bringing stupid issues to the table. If we have to take your footstep, we have to bring many of the Muslim saints to justice for bringing war upon Bengal and no exception to all Muslim warlords.

[ALOCHONA] Forgery near-perfect



Investigators suspect Bangladesh Bank links in making fake currencies

Gangs involved in making counterfeit currency are so close to perfection that it is almost impossible for the general mass to identify a forged note from the original.

These gangs no longer print a particular number on the notes of the same denomination. Investigators concerned suspect that a group of unscrupulous Bangladesh Bank (BB) staff provide the numbers of soon-to-be-released notes to the culprits.

The suspicion arose as law enforcers recovered a list of serial numbers of oncoming bank notes from the busted fake note factory last Wednesday.

Currency Officer of BB Syed Abu Bakar Siddique, however, brushed aside the allegation saying that it was hard for the note forgery gangs to collect serial numbers from the central bank.

Jahirul Islam, who was arrested along with his wife during the raid at the factory in the city's Dakshin Khan, told the interrogators that they could make fake notes so flawless that people having no expertise can hardly recognise those. Rab personnel also recovered phoney money of different denominations worth Tk 2.3 lakh during the raid.

"The only way to know whether a note is counterfeit is to sprinkle water on it and then rub it. If it is fake the colour of writings on it might come off," said Jahirul during Rab interrogation.

According to the law enforcers the arrests and recoveries made during the last year suggests that a good number of gangs are active in the easy money business.

Rab alone launched 54 successful operations arresting 88 people and seizing fake notes with printed value of crores of taka last year. Some of the drives even resulted in recovery of several printing machines, chemicals and other equipment.

Earlier, the counterfeit currency makers used to print Tk 500 notes over original bills of Tk 100 after rubbing off the prints on the notes with chemicals.

But the latest busting revealed that the gang members are using a kind of paper available in the market and imprinting serial numbers and watermarks and grafting holographic ribbons using modern technology.

The investigators concerned urged more proactive measures from the central bank's Forged Currency Cell so that the gangs cannot adopt the new currency printing technology so fast.

"Old currencies should be replaced in every five years so that the gangs involved in making phoney money fall behind and their forged notes become useless," said an investigator concerned wishing anonymity.

HOW THE GANGS OPERATE
The investigators said each of the gangs has around 50 to 60 men divided into several groups across the country. Each group of four to five members along with its leader operates in busy market places, bus and launch terminals, railway stations and border areas.

The team leaders collect a certain amount of fake notes from manufacturers and distribute those to the field workers.

A field worker gets a commission of Tk 100 to Tk 120 for blending a forged Tk 500 note successfully in the market.

A manufacturer gets Tk 70 to Tk 80 from a fake Tk 500 note while the making cost is only Tk 12 to Tk 15 each. The rest of the profit money goes to the middlemen like the team leaders, said Maj Mohammad Mahbubul Haque of Rab-3, who led in Wednesday's drive.

Usually unemployed smart youths are recruited for this clandestine job, he added.

The field workers use code names like 091 to be identified in their group. That is why a detained field worker can hardly give names of other operatives or group members.

[ALOCHONA] 'If north-east India develops, exports from Bangladesh will go up'




Dr Mustafizur Rahman currently the Executive Director at the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD), is also a member of the Panel of Economists for the Sixth Five Year Plan. He was recently selected as a member of the National Task Force to monitor the impact of the global financial crisis on Bangladesh. He gave his views on the recently signed Bangladesh-India deal to The Daily Star

DS: How do you see the India-Bangladesh deal?
MR: From the economic perspective, there is potential for Bangladesh to gain from the deal. India remains a major trading partner of Bangladesh. In 2007-08, we imported about $3.3 billion worth of goods from India. In spite of global economic meltdown, in 2008-09, Bangladesh imported $2.8 billion worth. On the other hand, we exported about $360 million worth of goods in 2007-08 and in spite of financial crisis we exported $275 million worth in 2008-09.

There are three aspects where Bangladesh has the possibility of gaining something from the deal. They are: trade cooperation, connectivity cooperation, and infrastructure cooperation.

I see these areas originating from this pact. Lets start with trade.

Trade cooperation: There is an understanding that India will reduce the negative list; 47 items will be excluded. India started the negative list with 770 products under Safta in 2006. However, there was a decision that every three years there would be a reduction in the negative list under Safta. For Bangladesh, India started to reduce it at a faster pace. They reduced 480 items from the list. Then they reduced further. Now there are 260 items from which they are going to reduce an additional 47 items.

Yet, we don't know what items India is going to remove from their negative list. We have to look at it. The government should disclose the list so that one can evaluate the economic side of the pact.

The second point is non-tariff barriers (NTBs), which is a major impediment. As per the discussion, India will also reduce NTBs. India has said that it will strengthen the BSTI, which is a good move. India is already contributing to strengthening BSTI; so, the move will contribute to capacity building of product standardisation that will help to reduce some of the NTBs as well.

However, it would have been better if a "framework agreement for mutual recognition of standard" could be signed between BSTI and BIS.

As we have not yet signed the deal between BSTI and BIS, what will ultimately happen to reduction of the negative list?
think that India perhaps wanted to strengthen BSTI and then go for this mutual recognition. Since the deal has been signed, I think this thing will be expedited.

The NTBs on Bangladeshi products may be removed. Those are now being exported under zero tariff benefits; but 10% of the duty at the Indian border point has been waived for eight million pieces of garments exported from Bangladesh to India under a special scheme.

There are also 8% to 13% other duties, including excise duties (4% to 8% on import duty and MRP), secondary and higher secondary duties (3% customs duty), and special additional duty (SAD).

Although Bangladesh has been enjoying 10% waiver on duties at Indian border points as most favoured nation (MFN), there are other duties that add up to 8% to 13% for various types of apparels. This is also one barrier, but these duties are also applicable for Indian inter-state product transaction.

SAD amounts to 4% on all duties paid, which is yet to be settled. Since they said that they would remove NTBs, duties like SAD, which are not related to standardisation, will expectedly be removed in the spirit of the deal that has been signed.

Connectivity: We can explain the connectivity opportunity in two ways: connectivity for exporting goods and services, and the other is reducing cost of imports. Connectivity can stimulate these things.

Connectivity with Nepal and Bhutan will be an advantage. We can use our transport services and port services by utilising under-utilised ports. We can utilise the excess capacity of the upcoming Newmooring container terminal.

All parties, even opposition leaders, also said that there was excess capacity in our ports. This could be export of services.

Bangladesh can earn Tk.15 lakh by handling a 700-container cargo at the Chittagong port. Mongla port has become redundant. It could get rejuvenated now.

What has been interesting recently is that Bangladesh's export to India is increasing. In 2002- 2003, our export to India was worth $60 million. In 2003-04 it was $66 million. In 2007-08, it rose to $358 million and in 2008-09 it was $277 million. So there are new export items going to India now beyond our traditional export items -- raw jute, fertiliser, jute goods, fish, and frozen foods. The new items include plastic, melamine, batteries, juice and foodstuff, and cement.

Can you give us any other example of the way Bangladesh is going to allow other countries to use its ports ?
There are many similar examples in the world. The port of Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe, serving more than seven to eight countries in Europe.

But a massive investment might be required for Bangladesh to upgrade the ports. How we can manage the money?
I am coming to that point.

Do you think Bangladesh will lose its existing export market to north-eastern Indian market?
In 2007-08, Bangladesh imported $84 million worth of goods from the north-east and exported $30 million worth, which is a nominal amount of total trade with India. In the same year, Bangladesh's total export to India was $358 million worth and import from India was $3.3 billion.

So the argument is that north-east states contribution to the total Indian GDP and per capita income has been declining in last few years because it is a backward region and its capacity to purchase and capacity to import are also very low.

In 2007-08, Bangladesh exported $14 billion worth of goods. So, compared to that, $30 million export to north-east region is peanuts. So my argument is that if the north-east develops economically through this greater connectivity, and its standard, its income and purchasing power increase, then exports from Bangladesh will go up. Bangladesh's chance of exporting to north-east will remain because of its geographical proximity.

We can also formalise the informal cross-border trading. If Bangladesh develops its supply side capacity, then the north-east market will remain for Bangladesh.

How will the Indian north-east develop?
The Indian government is going to set up a 750 MW power plant in the north-east, which was not possible earlier because of the difficulty in carrying equipment to the site. The north-east's backwardness will be removed through connectivity under the deal; so, more investment and more demand will be created in the north-east. Bangladesh can even invest in the north-east. And, if the north-east gets access to Chittagong port, they can export at a competitive price.

What would be the price mechanism for utilising ports?
Of course, pricing should be fixed in a competitive way. We should consider what options India now has and what they cost. Based on that, the price for port utilisation could be fixed so that it will be win-win for all.

For example, If India's businessmen now spend Tk.15 to carry goods to the north-east, they will use Bangladesh's infrastructure if the cost goes down to Tk.10. And here, if Bangladesh's port charge is Tk.7, Bangladesh should charge Tk.10 to India. So the pricing mechanism also has to be win-win.

Since we import a lot from India, it is possible to supply goods to consumers at an affordable price. Many entrepreneurs import raw material. It is also important for many exporters, because they import fabrics for exportable product.

The import from India increased in last few years because India became competitive. So, trade diversion favouring India occurred. Now, because of better connectivity under the deal, cost of import will also come down for Bangladesh.

If there any scope for Bangladesh to develop its infrastructure under the pact?
We import more from India than India imports from us. Under the deal, $1billion will be utilised for infrastructure development, including port and broad-gauge railway.

It is very important to identify the areas that will be developed under the $1billion package. If we also invest, along with the $1 billion, our import costs can be minimised.

If we can reduce even 10% of import costs, it will be equal to our total exports to India.

All the infrastructure development with $1 billion will have to be completed through concrete projects. These projects should be priorities because, in terms of required investment, $1 billion is peanuts compare to what we need.

So we have to identify the areas in which we can gain maximum benefit.

Infrastructure is not ready, yet, to carry goods from north-east to western India. It will be better for Bangladesh to go for transhipment business to carry Indian goods on that route.

If Bangladesh provides the transportation service, it will be better. The deal does not mention anything about the transportation system. So, there is lots of homework that needs to be done in order to take the spirit forward.

We should work more so that our trucks can carry the goods. In terms of costs, if Bangladeshi trucks can provide cheaper service, India businessmen will seriously think about it.

We should explore the deal more so that Bangladeshi entrepreneurs can get the business from the connectivity. If Bangladesh takes a large part of the transport business under the deal, it would maximise the benefit from the deal.

Will it create any problems in loading and unloading?
It could happen two ways. Indian trucks will carry goods to border point, then Bangladeshi trucks will carry them to the port; or Indian trucks carry the goods directly to the ports. Another thing that can happen is that that Bangladeshi trucks will enter India and carry all goods to port and other points. This will reduce cost of carrying goods as a whole.

So there are several options: Indian trucks at border transport to Bangladesh, Indian trucks through Bangladesh to ports, under which Bangladesh gets less benefit. If we get trucking business, maximum benefits will come to Bangladesh.

This transportation could be on sharing basis. Suppose there could be an agreement under which Bangladesh and India both can share in carrying goods. So, all the options should be examined so that we can maximise our country's benefits.

What could be the deal with Bhutan and Nepal?
Our trade with Nepal and Bhutan is very limited. But if they are allowed to use what has been agreed, they will trade with third countries through Mongla and Chittagong port, which will also give business to our two ports.

Is there any possibility that Bangladeshi traders will not get enough slots to use the ports after these three countries start utilising the ports?
We should look at this agreement as a business. If we can earn $3 by spending $1 then we should go for capacity expansion. As of now, it will not create problems, as there is excess capacity.

Opposition leader Khaleda Zia said that Mongla and Chittagong port has excess capacity of 60 percent, and 40 percent respectively, while the prime minister said that it was 90 percent in Mongla and 40 percent in Chittagong
That is not the issue. The issue here is that if we invest and earn then we can expand.

Do you think only enhancement of port capacity is enough?
Of course not. We will have to so many things to do, from logistics to transportation. If we fail to give affordable services, India could continue using existing routes. If the cost in Chittagong and Mongla remains high, India will not use them. Our intention should be to lower price so that India is attracted by the offers to shift its routes.

At this moment, what should the Bangladesh government do?
It will be very challenging to materialise what we have discussed. The political spirit of the deal now remains. But when it is implemented at the bureaucratic level, lots of options need to be decided: should we go for infrastructure development for giving transit to Nepal and Bhutan, or we should develop the ports first, etc. To implement the projects, priorities should be identified.

We should speed up BSTI strengthening projects to go for mutual framework agreement. The Indian prime minister is expected to visit Bangladesh. So, at that time, the deal should be signed on priority basis.

We have rail connectivity already. So, initially, it is possible to connect with railway; but development of a broad-gauge line between Akhaura and Tripura should be started.

You were talking about railway. Do you think by implementing the rail transit, Bangladesh railway will recover from being a loss-making concern?
Yes, there is a big potentiality. If we can take the cheapest cargo movement business, railway obviously performs better. It will be easier if containerisation of cargo can be ensured.

What should the government do at this moment to follow the pact?
Follow up is very important. I heard that the government is following it up by forming some committees. A high-powered taskforce should be formed to prioritise what to do. And here our national interest should be the top-most consideration.

[ALOCHONA] Fw: Google images of Bangladesh



--- On Wed, 1/27/10, Factification <factia@gmail.com> wrote:
Type the word BANGLADESH into google and this is what happens: an advert appears from an Indian government funded/supported  organisation (perhaps via an intelligence agency like RAW) based in USA and India. Images of terror and violence...... stories of..... proliferate. This is not normal even for India, a nation in the grip of 80 major insurgencies, numerous caste and religious conflicts, daily disasters.
 
Who one supposes is supplying such stories and images: mainly Bangladesh media with Mahuz Anam's Daily Star being among "Right to Know" stars! 
 
And who are the workers inputting such data in such a blatant biased manner into Google search engine? 
 
Mainly INDIAN WORKERS IN  GOOGLE  BACK OFFICES (Yes, these Indians, who would otherwise be starving, are paid good money to provide unbiased information to increase the reputation of Google. In actual fact Indian employees are actively sabotaging Google's reputation.)  As everyone knows India  is very obsessed with making Bangladesh negative in the eyes of the world. What is worse is that such misrepresentations  PSYCHOLOGICALLY DEBILITATE and SHAME CITIZENS OF BANGLADESH . And this you will discover is precisely the effect the letter writer from Sylhet describes to readers in the Daily Star).. 
 
Unless we  draw the attention of the world such an Indian project it  will continue to become the norm as far as the name of BANGLADESH is concerned. Unfortunately, the government of Bangladesh and its 50 odd Embassies are sleeping dogs. They are busy barking at each other, distracted from the main threat.
 
Look at the way our Prime Minister was received at the Indian airport? Begun Sheikh Hasina Wajed was received by a junior Indian Minister and not by the Prime Minister!
 
The news coverage was hardly fit for such an important visiting leader of a an state which provides so much foreign exchange, and is an important Islamic ally willing help India gain permanent seat at the UN. 
 
Incredibly, the Qatari government run Aljazeera Indian correspondent Ms Puri sent a patronising and inaccurate report of Bangladesh PM visit in which she stated India as Bangladesh biggest trading partner, implying a favour from India. One wonders why a Gulf Arab nation should be promoting propaganda and insults against a Muslim nation.
 
Our government handed over to an Indian company one of our mobile phone companies as a gesture of goodwill, but already the story Indian media are printing include words with negative and aid-giving connotations!
 
In recent days he Indian Air force chief visited Dhaka and  was allowed much good time, but the stories from India imply that Bangladesh Air force needs Indian to help rescue the largely obsolete ragged fighter planes, etc!
 
The point is this:
POVERTY STRICKEN INDIA CONTROLS THE IMAGE OF BANGLADESH (even from within Dhaka) TO THE WORLD. BANGLADESH IS INDIA'S HOSTAGE.
 
 
BANGLADESH IS INCREASINGLY A WORLD PLAYER. OUR PEOPLE HAVE GLOBAL SKILLS INFLUENCING THE WORLD.
 
Why do we allow India to humiliate us and our nation?
 
India is hostile to Bangladesh out fear and malice. It will remain hostile and malicious to all things Bangladesh even if we give up our nation to appease her. Such is India's guile she will even abuse Google's good name to abuse and humiliate us. 
 
Please read the letter from Ali Haider Chowdhury to the Daily Star, that follows my missive.
 
Taslima
 
 
I was searching in the popular internet search engine Google with the key word "Bangladesh" for a web result and got scared to find the result. The reason behind my scare was some photos that automatically came with the web result. I again tried many times with the same key word and always found the same web result with same terrible photos. You can also try and I am sure you will be frightened to see the photos if you are a patriotic citizen of this country. No, the photos do not contain any horror content or ghostly things. One photo shows a cop beating a journalist and another depicts a military parade and contains the caption "Bangladeshi BDR Massacre". These photos portray a negative image of the country to the world. So these are really painful for any Bangladeshi. Today, in the age of information technology, if anybody outside Bangladesh needs to know about the country at first he or she will go to internet and will find a negative impression of Bangladesh. Bangladesh might have many problems but certainly this country is a model of communal and religious harmony. We have a glorious past and we are also an example of rising democracy. So why this country is being portrayed in such a negative way. Please describe Bangladesh in a constructive way. I think Google does not show these photos intentionally as it works automatically by using some programming formulas. The authorities of websites containing these pictures are responsible for this fault. They should immediately delete these pictures.

Inna lilla he wa inna elahe raze oon for the death of five lives, freedom fighters and patriots of Bangladesh.
 
Dear All:
 
Their deaths remind me the following historical facts:
 
Fact # 1: Independence and sovereignty of Bengal was completely buried after the "execution" of Nawab Shiraj Uddowla.
 
Fact # 2: Mirzafor became Nawab after Shiraz Uddowla's defeat following a secret deal (treaty) between him (Mirzafor) and the East India Company.
 
Fact # 3: East India Company and later British Government ruled Bengal and India for near about two hundred years following the defeat and execution of Nawab Shiraz Uddowla.

[ALOCHONA] WORTH A READ - Why Zaid Hamid is a success in Pakistani Society?



Zaid hamid is one of schichzophrenic commentators from Pakistan, who appears not to know where his toast is buttered. But is a huge hit among the surface  modernized seculars!!! This is a plausible analysis of why such conflicted persons can attract a following!!

 

WORTH A READ!!!!!

http://aacounterterror.wordpress.com/section-4-why-zaid-hamid-is-a-success-in-pakistani-society/

 

Section 4. Why Zaid Hamid is a success in Pakistani Society?

The religious beliefs (related to Islam) mentioned below are not necessarily writers personal religious beliefs.

Why Zaid Hamid is popular among the youth of Pakistan and what is actually deriving his success? Is he giving a different message that is unprecedented in nature or is he using a different strategy to communicate the same old conspiracy theories?

The analysis below will help us figure out the reasons why his theories are successful amongst the Pakistani population and whether if there is any difference between his propositions and those of the religious traditionalists i.e. the Maulvis. An illustration given below will demonstrate this:

Let's take a look at the hypothetical scenarios and analyse these examples:

Imran is an elite middle class boy who, having completed his A levels from a posh private English medium school in Pakistan, now studies in a top notch university in Lahore. He regularly parties with his mates and goes to watch Indian and Hollywood movies with fervour, driving fancy cars (he has a collection, including a new Honda Civic). His parents are religiously and culturally inclined and encourage him to pay more attention towards religion and traditions. They are inwardly extremely proud of their child and fulfil all his whims and fancies. Imran, an obedient child, is forced to reconsider his lifestyle and finds he faces two choices…

In another scenario, Mariam, a girl from the same background loves to partake in night time entertainment with her friends, including eating out and watching movies, and her favourite past time is getting clothes tailored in the latest fashion, and applying an assortment of makeup. Her parents are worried about Mariam finding a suitable suitor and wish her to become more eastern in her manners and more religious. As the age for marriage approaches, Mariam is forced to reconsider her way of life. She finds she faces two choices s well…

The first choice for both these youngsters is to join a Zaid Hamid group, which is ostensibly silent on various religious aspects (such as ban on music, or wearing a headscarf) or to join the old school traditionalists such as Farhat Hashmi (in Mariam's case), or Maulana Tariq Jameel, Israr Ahmed, or other such religious preachers. The Traditionalist path requires strict adherence to the principles of Islam such as complete and strict pardah (Hijab) for women, Music is absolutely haram (forbidden), gender segregated gatherings, prayers 5 times a day and excessive love of jihad.

Mariam considers these options carefully… she thinks about it… if she were to follow the traditional path, she would have to first of all change her dressing style. That would mean shrouding herself in a burqa and forgetting about the juicy designer wear she so loves. Secondly, she thinks, if she were to cover her face as required by these preachers, it would be useless to apply any makeup as everything would be hidden behind her headscarf and veil! What about all the compliments she always received on being the best dressed of all, and having the nicest hairdo and following the latest makeup trends? In addition she is also required to strictly pray 5 times a day and have no interactions with men- be they cousins or any other friends.

She next considers joining Zaid Hamid… hmmm…what would she have to give up? She muses over her checklist: clothes- no compromise (she doesn't need to hide behind some veil), parties- no compromise, music- also no compromise, makeup- definitely no compromise. What is she required to do then?

She discovers much to a pleasant surprise that she just has to excessively love Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Allama Iqbal -which most of the Pakistanis already do anyway since this has been taught to us from the day we started going to school- and to carry some beliefs in her heart – to hate India, Israel and America and hold only them responsible for the disastrous state of our country and to firmly believe that our army is sacred and that the Prophet (PBUH) has prophesised for it to eventually conquer and rule India (Ghazwa-e-hind).

Similarly for Imran, the thought of giving up fun parties at his friend's places, supporting a beard, praying five times daily, and excluding women from his social life (even social events are segregated), and to give up listening to his favourite singer, Bryan Adams, was too much of a sacrifice…

So he too ponders over the alternative- the easier option: though this Zaid Hamid group also glorifies Jihad and propagates immense hatred against Jews, Indians and Americans, it does not ostensibly share the orthodox views of the traditionalists (such as hijab, Music ban, sex segregation).

In other words, by joining Zaid's group both Imran and Mariam do not have to compromise on their sophisticated pleasures

Let's take a look at some of these images which reveal to us the appeal for youth today that each of these groups carry, which will in turn reveal to us why Zaid Hamid's group would have precedence in the mind of a youngster:

This picture of Junaid Jamshed gives a glimpse of the changes that he adapted to, having followed the footsteps of traditionalist Tariq JameeL (head of TJ).

Junaid before joining Tableeghi Jamaat

Junaid After Tableeghi Jamaat

Another picture of a cricketer (Mohammad Yousef) who went through a dramatic change in appearance after converting to Islam from Christianity…

Yousef before Islam

Yousef After Islam

Now look at these alternative images of people who adhered to Zaid Hamid's ideologies:

A picture of Musician Ali Azmat reveals no change after he started supporting Zaid Hamid's group…

Ali Azmat before joining Zaid Hamid

Ali Azmat after

The same goes for Fashion Designer Maria B., another major supporter of Zaid Hamid's "cause"…

Maria Before Zaid Hamid

Maria After Zaid Hamid

These pictures give us a clear idea of the changes that a person has to make to oneself in order to adhere to either one of these groups.

Hence Imran and Mariam are much more likely to follow the latter two celebrities' footsteps. Here's why:

The first two images make plain that a striking and sudden change is immediately observable in a disciple of the traditional classical school, whereas no such change is detectable on the surface of the latter two. Thus it can be safely concluded that adherence to Zaid Hamid's group is the easier option of the two, as it requires minimum of change to oneself.

The adherents are easily labelled 'good Ummatis' (good muslim destined for paradise), patriotic, and religious good muslims, without the efforts required by the classical religious school (such as compromising on sophisticated pleasures). Thus personal satisfaction equalling that of a classical religious follower is obtained without the same hardships of personal sacrifices.

In addition, it goes without saying that when youngsters see particular celebrities making a choice (as we also see in advertisements- that's what brand ambassadors are for) the fans are likely to follow the same path. Thus Imran and Mariam are likely to follow Ali Azmat and Maria B. This is because their upbringing was in a non-restrictive environment and they would like to continue living the way they do- but also have the added benefits mentioned above (being called good ummatis, patriots etc.)

Below are a few images of social events or gatherings of the traditional school of thought:

Males only (Sex - Segregation)

Females only

As can be seen above, the traditional schools have strict modes of sex segregation in their gatherings and there is nothing alluring about them. Our hypothetical characters Imran and Mariam will not be impressed.

Now lets see how Zaid Hamid conducts his events:

Zaid Hamid (No Sex Segregation)

A mixed gathering of men and women sitting together without any kinds of barriers between them.

Unprecedented in Islamic Khilafat

Here again, men and women are standing together as one group in a promotional video for an event organised by Zaid Hamid's proponents. Here is the source http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVUfzkL9h4c

Lighting Candles

This picture depicts Zaid Hamid standing amongst his supporters who have lighted candles for hope – a traditional Jewish and pagan culture-one that was never recognised by any khilafat (A Muslim totalitarian rule) which Zaid Hamid may follow (the Caliphs never observed such a ceremony involving lighting candles nor did they ever direct others to it). Nevertheless it is an appealing activity which is used as a gimmick to attract fan following. Traditional religious sects explicitly disapprove these tactics to entice the public their way.

This is also in contradiction with Zaid's mission statement on his website where he claims: "Restore a sense of honor and dignity in the nation by reintroducing our people to their glorious Islamic heritage and pristine cultural and moral values".

Not only this, Zaid further resorts to use of music (also forbidden under Islam) to publicise his cause. The most common back drop of music he uses for his promotional videos is the dramatic theme of Requiem for a Dream by Clint Mansell. This is a powerful piece of music which has the effect of making the young generation very emotionally excited.

Please refer to the short promotional and propaganda video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Es4gKwlbrYU

You may have noticed that in general music is capable of touching the human soul in a way in which simple words can not. Music is used in restaurants to give a relaxed environment, in weddings to create a happy and exciting atmosphere, in sad scenes in a movie to depict sadness. Compare this music to the naats without the aid of instruments (used for tableeghi jamaat's marketing purpose) which Junaid Jamshed has produced after becoming an orthodox Muslim, and you realise that the former is much more powerful in invoking the requisite emotions in it's audience.

Again Unprecedented in Islamic khilafat.

Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVUfzkL9h4c

This picture in particular, I think, epitomises the essence of Zaid Hamid's strategies to allure the youth towards him. It is clearly visible to the reader that men and women are holding hands without any qualms about the inappropriateness of this according to religion. What is so ironic about this situation is that Zaid Hamid's ideology is based on (so called) Islamic precepts. Yet he resorts to propagate his ideologies by going against the very basic principles of Islam. Is this not a serpentine attempt to reduce religion to mere whims and fancies?

These pictures clearly illustrate that there is no requirement of emotional self-control as that required in the traditional Islamic sects.

However, this does not mean that Zaid Hamid discourages Hijab, sex segregation etc. He is in fact purposely silent on religious topics such as those of music and pardah. He does not tell us whether music is forbidden or not, neither does he hint at whether it will be allowed or not in the Caliphate society which will rule after his prophecy of the Pakistan's Army's victory over India comes true.

Instead, he is more focused on Jihad as his core ideology. This is why the Ghazwa-e-Hind ideology is asserted by him repeatedly even though this so called prophecy is not mentioned in any of the 6 recognised books of hadiths that Muslims follow today. While he is asserting this vague unauthenticated hadis so assertively, why does he not also assert other ahadis in the same manner?- Those which forbid all the worldly pleasures on muslims such as listening to music, men and women freely intermingling in gatherings, and following the proper dress code for muslims.

The truth is that the common interest of the traditional religious sects of Pakistan and Zaid Hamid's sect i.e. the hatred for Jews, Americans and Indians and glorification of their twisted versions of Jihad, is so important and over-powering that it overshadows and hence blinds them to other aspects of religion. The traditional sects therefore accept Zaid's version as something valid and recognisable (even if temporarily and tactically), so long as the common purpose is served.

His followers are under the false impression that they are the best nation and the most righteous of people.

To summarize this at the end, Imran after following Zaid Hamid can call him himself both, an Ummati and a true Pakistani. Thus Zaid Hamid is fulfilling both his religious and nationalist requirements as compared to the traditionalists who are more focused on curbing sophisticated pleasures.

After following Zaid Hamid, Both Mariam and Imran can still:

  • Listen to music
  • Watch Amir khan's movie '3-Idiots' or Sharukh Khan's 'Kabhi khushi kabhi gham'
  • Fantasize about Megan Fox, Kareena Kapoor or Jonny Depp
  • Imran can keep a French beard, goatee style, or remain as clean shaved
  • Mariam can still wear tight Jeans

All they have to do is hate Jews, glorify past Islamic imperialist rulers, avoid criticizing Pakistan army, legitimize all the army's actions in supporting militants such as Mullah Omer or Hekmatyar and believe in Ghazw e Hind (Prophesised capture of India by Pakistan army).

This is a clever strategy that Zaid Hamid is adopting here which is to deliberately stay silent on issues like hijab and simultaneously preach the same jihad and khilafat doctrine that is common among militant organizations such as Lashkar e Taiba

Keeping all these facts in mind, it can be said with surety that Zaid Hamid would never propagate the restrictive commandments of traditionalist Islam, because the day he sets restrictions on these worldly pleasures, his adherent ratings would take a plunge. This is because the elite and the upper middle class youth of Pakistan would never easily sacrifice their comfort and pleasure.

Despite all this, however, there are still many unanswered questions left.

Presuming Zaid Hamid's assertions that we will eventually have a caliphate society and be ruled by a caliph under Shariah law is true:

1. What about the role of women in society? Will we live in a patriarchal society? If yes, then will Maria B. be able to continue making the western line of clothing which she so loves to design and market or will she then design hijabs only?

2. Will women be forced to wear a burqa like in Saudi Arabia (Zaid Hamid's favourite country)

3. Will non-muslims be able to proselytize their religion like Muslims do today? (Note that no Muslim country allows this today)

4. Will there be complete freedom of speech? Or would the rules be like those of Saudi Arabia or China where people are jailed for voicing their opinions against the government policy?

If I were the reader of this article, I would have raised a question to the author:

The question is that why do you expect Zaid Hamid to talk about hijab, music and such other Islamic directives when that is not his job in the first place? Zaid Hamid can not be criticised for the lack of these assertions since he describes his job as that of a Security Analyst.

The answer to this is given in the questions raised below:

One might ask oneself, that if he really is a security analyst alone, then why does he talk about religious prophecies coming true?

If he really is just a Security Analyst, why does he talk about the history of banking and claiming that US Federal Reserve is actually a private institution?

If he really is a Security Analyst then why does he advocate the enforcement of Shariah Law and Khilafat?

if he really is a mere Security Analyst and nothing more, why does he suddenly assume the role of a historian and claim to know the true history such as the truth of the Chanakya Ideology, the truth of Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Allama Iqbal- hailing the latter two as Islamic warriors?

And lastly, what about his mission statement of "restoring Islamic culture and pristine values and promoting legal and constitutional reforms to reflect the true spirit of the Quran and Sunnah"

Is this a job of a "Security Analyst?"

  7. "claiming that US Federal Reserve is actually a private institution?"

    Actually, technically, it is a private institution.

    Good Article though…as traditional religious "values" are losing their grip on the society, (because alot of it doesn't make sense to younger crowd) people like zaid hamid are coming up with ways to still attract masses towards abrahmic religions.

  8. What the heck on one side you giving bad name to Islamic traditions on other hand you are saying crap about Youth leadership. I think you need to listen him again and re-consider your views. as he has said on many ocassion's that we need to follow Islamic way of life.

    Comment by UmerK22 — January 19, 2010 @ 3:36 am

  9. I am not watching this so called 'security analyst' but did see a few clips on Youtube, and was immensely tense. You have done a great job by exposing him with so many references and logical arguments. You have made it easier for me to discuss his nonsense with my friends and expose him further.

    Comment by Safeer — January 19, 2010 @ 10:45 am

  10. Mindless propaganda
    zaid hamid is a nationalist and see him that light and that light only.
    our country could need some nationalism
    your arguments are weak and without reference
    showing two pictures of Maria B doesnt prove any point
    you are comparing maula tariq jamil with zaid hamid do care to elaborate how are you conducting such a comparison its like comparing apples and oranges one is a religious expert the other is a security analytic and historian.

    Americas Federal reserve is a private bank this is common knowledge not a conspiracy theory

    what exactly is your problem with him are u against him being a patriot or are you against him because he advocates sharih law and wants the muslims to remember the glory days.

    please stop posting mindless babble

  11. liked it..
    I would really like to here from people like imran and marium on this one…

    Comment by RoOnEy YaAr — January 19, 2010 @ 4:21 pm

  12. as far as the first comment is concerned…..a boy in pak and a girl have the same oppurtunities… infact i would say that girls might be given a little more edge on few factors….

    If somebody says that girls are FORCED to reconsider their lifestyle…then my question is that isnnt this the case in EVERY country….every nation or religion…

    And if the so called 2 choices…. most of the girls that are given the same choice abroad … whats the result…they become independant and become sluts…Bitter but true cause they dont have a 2nd choice after they have made a decision…..

    In Pakistan though…. as much as u hate it … girls do get an edge… they can get away with most of the things before marriage and JUST because of that very smallllllllll factor that in my brothers opinion is totally wrong….remove that from our society…n the next day Pakistan will have the same rape and sluts ratio as in US or any other SO CALLED DEVELPED country where women are simply exploited by telling them they can do whatever they want…

    PEACE

  13. and for my brothers information….. UR a stupid if u dont know that in front of a mehram(which is basically a person ur not sexually threatened from)…. u can wear anything and go…designer wear…anything…. and its totally allowed so should do ur research before HYPOTHETICALLY making scenarios

    Comment by hassan — January 20, 2010 @ 3:09 am

  14. WRONG!!!
    1.Growing up youth has aspirations for their country, they are not 'forced' by parents.
    2.Parents in religious families who so 'force their children' would not allow their children to be doing practices such as regularly partying(in a particular sense as the author tries to impress), watching hollywood or whateverwood movies here and there in the first place.
    3.No such parents would settle for supporting Zaid Hamid against saying obligatory prayers.

    (seems like a foreigner has written all this!)

  15. All this is crap what u wan to prove?? that lecture was directed by AAG TV, zaid hamid was a speaker their. he didn't said to have a join session.. and this was not a religious lecture, this is all for pakistan.. YOU HAVE A VERY LIMITED THINKING..!!

    Comment by Ali — January 20, 2010 @ 5:12 pm

  18. Good Job..

    i think point here is not whether US Federal Reserve is a private institution. Point is if Zaid Hamid is a just a security analyst then why does he talk about history of banking and makes statements which have nothing to do with security.

    Comment by Abdur Rauf Rajar — January 20, 2010 @ 8:20 pm

  19. Superb post. I applaud your analysis and exposing these guys with facts. ZH confuses the innocent by using the veneer of modernity, intense emotional nationalism, national leaders (QA, AI) for an agenda that is very dangerous. This guy has studied Hitler. His real desire is for the youth to be his new Jack boots and storm troopers. He preaches religious hate against Christians (America), Hindus (India) and Jews (Israel). He appeals to vanity and disillusionment by creating an image of a Super Pan Islamic Religious Race that is destined to rule the planet. Islam teaches humility, human dignity, meekness (not boastful behaviour), reflection on facts (not myths) and balance. None of these qualities exist in Zaid Hamid's Islam. The good news is that he wears his facism on his sleeves so is easily exposed.

    Comment by Tilsim — January 20, 2010 @ 10:11 pm

  20. Somebody commented that girls and boys have same opportunities. I think this person is living in some dreamworld. An 18 years old boy can travel alone in public transport to another city, but what happens when a girl of the same age has to go to another city for education/employment. She would rather live without her education/employment rather than travel alone to another city. Girls, in this so called Islamic society and the land of the pures, cannot walk a few feet alone. Just yerterday, my wife went to her friend's house in the third street from ours, and she was followed and harassed by a bully. I had to come to her rescue… If they do not have same opportunities for mobility, they cannot have same opportunities. They can't go for studies to larger cities (read better institutions), and cannot take up employment in other cities, something boys can easily do…

    Comment by Safeer — January 22, 2010 @ 9:34 am

  21. well i agree what u said above if he want to do something for islam then its better to do in a right manner keeping all the things in mind when it comes to hijab,beard music etc etc but Mr. author where were u before i mean Mr. Hamid has been doing this practice for past many years ……………. which statement force u to write this all isnt that one against Mr.ALTAF HUSSAIN BHAI ……

    Comment by umair — January 22, 2010 @ 6:52 pm

  22. Zaid Hamid is a fraud and his past life is even more confusing if one wants to look at it.

    Comment by Pakistani Dehria — January 23, 2010 @ 7:41 am

  23. well, we all know what Tariq Jameel and Tahir-ul-Qadri preach.!
    The first belongs to extremist and fanactic clan of Islam namely Deobandis who are the predonminant supporters of Taliban and their version of Islam.
    The second Mullah is a fake and fraud just like Amir Liaqat Hussein.

    And Zaid Hamid is blasphemous who accepted Yusuf Kazaab as a Prophet!.and zaid hamid always shy away from answering to this reality. I have the audio in which he is attending the Bait-ul-Raza Conference and praises his prophet.

    They all are imposters and Liars who have sabotaged Islam just to get famous and persuade people to follow them rather than the teachings of Islam.
    One should strictly follow the teachings of Quran and Sunnah rather than these.

    (Read Quran Chapter 9 verse no.30)
