Re: [ALOCHONA] Jamaat is a fundamentalist party: USA



From "Zoglul Husain" <zoglul@hotmail.co.uk>,

What about collaborators of the collaborators! During Ershad's rule of nine years, both BAL and Jamaat were allies of Ershad, until his fall was in the horizon. Again, both Ershad and Jamaat were allies of Hasina govt's first term, until conflict of interest after three years. Thus, Jamaat was an ally of BAL for about 12 years! Since then Jamaat has been an ally of BNP, and now Jamaat is an ally in the 18-party alliance!

bdnews24.com is reportedly owned by Awami govt advisor Salman Rahman in partnership with Reuters. It published the following report last year:

Forwarding to you the following report in the barta24.net 5 May 2012, which refers to change of US policy on Jamaat, in that Jamaat has now been classified by the US as a 'fundamentalist party', which amongst other things signifies strengthening of Indian hegemony over BD backed by the US, as also the strengthening of the India-Israel-US evil axis for the domination of South, South-East and Central Asia and plunder of the area.

The report is as follows:

আমেরিকার কাছে জামায়াত আর 'মধ্যপন্থি গণতন্ত্রী' নয়, 'মৌলবাদী' দল

(Please click to read)

http://www.barta24.net/?view=details&data=Forum&news_type_id=1&menu_id=64&news_id=43731

The above Bangla report refers to the following lines:

Khaleda Zia, 1991-96
The center-right BNP won a plurality of seats and formed a government with support from the Islamic fundamentalist party Jamaat-I-Islami, with Khaleda Zia, widow of Ziaur Rahman, obtaining the post of prime minister."  of the US Department of State policy document (6 March 2012):

"Background Note: Bangladesh"  (http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/3452.htm), which is a part of policy document on countries "Background Notes" on countries (http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/).

In the above report, it was most blatantly and brazenly mentioned that: "The Election Commission registered over 80 million voters in preparation for parliamentary elections, which were held December 29, 2008. The Awami League swept to a landslide victory in what domestic and international observers declared a free, fair and credible election. The caretaker government ended on January 6, 2009 when Awami League President Sheikh Hasina became Prime Minister."

We know that 1/11 2007 was a conspiracy hatched by the evil axis, India-Israel-US. After failing in their minus-two policy, they conspired with Hasina to hold a totally rigged election on 29 December 2008. The recent declaration of the BNP-led 18-party alliance also said it was a totally rigged election. In the past, the US and their allies brazenly told lies about WMD in Iraq to deliberately deceive the whole world. They did the same about 1/11 2007 and the 2008 election in BD! We will certainly defeat their conspiracies! The people of Bangladesh will certainly assert their independence and sovereignty!!

Re: [mukto-mona] FW: 9/11 ANALYSIS: From Ronald Reagan to George W Bush



My two cents for this great discussion. I think USA has been a totally national interest centered country except very few exceptions. It has played both Dr. Jerkyll and Hyde characters whenever it could and whenever it pleased. Things has gotten better since the end of cold war but many old habits remain the same. To US, Saudis can do nothing wrong even though they have been the instrumental force for much of the Wahabi terrorism in the subcontinent and worldwide. The country still funds terror and ethnic cleansing of many minorities from its client countries. And, US looks the other way and it focuses on "evil" Iran (not that the country is totally innocent)? US knows the addresses of many Pakistani non-state actors and yet it can't do a thing. Or, maybe it does not want? When a country think a terror attack against an enemy state is OK but not to a friendly country or to itself, I see the problem. This is a dangerous attitude and that is why the war against the terror is doomed to fail. Thank you.

Out of everything else I said, Mr. Chakraborty pivoted his thoughts on the word (godless) from my previous statements, and ultimately came up with a wrong conclusion.
 
My comments were not about whether USA was fighting 'godlessness' in that area or not, it was to explain why USA supported Islamic fundamentalists, including Al-Qaeda, at that time. Unfortunately, Mr. Chakraborty could not see that point because his thoughts were entrapped on the word "godless" and he could not get out of it.
 
Yes, one of the major factors that motivated the Islamic fundamentalists from all over the world (Middle-East, Africa, Bangladesh, USA, etc.) to converge in that region to fight Soviet invasion was the "godlessness' in the communist doctrine. But, that was not the motivating factor for the US-government at all. US strategy was to fight communism, and that's why they were helping Mujahidin Army. This point does not need any explanation. Even a half-educated man will understand it without further mention. By the way, communists are godless people. Isn't it?

1. The theory of USA's fighting godlessness seems to be absurd. Reasons for the fight were more deep rooted. 
2. Unless we get rid of our mental and intellectual inertia in the way we read history, our analysis and conclusions are doomed to be misleading. We need to be open minded to the emerging evidences based on research and unclassified documents seeing the light of the day.

Yes, USA supported fundamentalists, Al-Qaeda, Taliban, Mujahedin, etc. to counter godless communist invasion in Afghanistan and elsewhere in the world. There was no better way to fight communism than to promote and recruit religious fundamentalists throughout the world to fight cold war. The fundamentalists were extremely motivated suicidal warriors, and they were already fighting against Soviet invasion. They could not gain foothold against sophisticated Russian Army. Therefore, all USA had to do is - train them and help them with arms and ammunitions. That's exactly what USA did there. USA just made use of well motivated ready-made fighters against Soviet Army.  Therefore, it will be wrong to say that USA created Taliban and Al-Qaeda. USA did not create them - they were there long before Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. USA just used them.
 
Cold war is over, and the usefulness of religious fundamentalists for USA has ended. Now, Russia and China have found them useful, and they are using them against USA whenever they can. In both situations, religious fundamentalists are the sacrificial lambs, and they are not aware of it. They are too blinded by their religious faith to see these phenomena.

           Please read this and try to understand why, with what force secular, progressive Muslim voices have been gagged in the subcontinent. In the War of aggression in 1971 which ended with the birth of Bangladesh USA aided the aggressor Pakistani Military with arms and finance. This should also explain why Jamaat and its honcho war criminals of 1971 have been dominating Bangladeshi politics for the last 36 years.
          From time to time I have been writing about these USA/CIA and Islamic fundamentalism alliance for last two decades. My article, "Law, Literature and Islam" (in Law and Literature Perspectives, ed. Bruce Rockwood, Peter Lang 1996, 2006) delves into the Salman Rushdie Affair and touches upon some of the points (such as the Iran-Contra scheme during Reagan administration)  highlighted by Michel Chossudovky here.

9/11 ANALYSIS: From Ronald Reagan to George W Bush

by Michel Chossudovsky

This article summarizes earlier writings by the author on 9/11 and the role of Al Qaeda in US foreign policy. For further details see Michel Chossudovsky, America's "War on Terrorism", Global Research, 2005  

"The United States spent millions of dollars to supply Afghan schoolchildren with textbooks filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings....The primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then as the Afghan school system's core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books,..", (Washington Post, 23 March 2002)

"Advertisements, paid for from CIA funds, were placed in newspapers and newsletters around the world offering inducements and motivations to join the [Islamic] Jihad." (Pervez  Hoodbhoy, Peace Research, 1 May 2005)

"Bin Laden recruited 4,000 volunteers from his own country and developed close relations with the most radical mujahideen leaders. He also worked closely with the CIA, ... Since September 11, [2001] CIA officials have been claiming they had no direct link to bin Laden." (Phil Gasper, International Socialist Review, November-December 2001) 

Highlights

-Osama bin Laden, America's bogyman, was recruited by the CIA in 1979 at the very outset of the US sponsored jihad. He was 22 years old and was trained in a CIA sponsored guerilla training camp. 
-The architects of the covert operation in support of "Islamic fundamentalism" launched during the Reagan presidency played a key role in launching the "Global War on Terrorism" in the wake of 9/11. 

- President Ronald Reagan met the leaders of the Islamic Jihad at the White House in 1985

-Under the Reagan adminstration, US foreign policy evolved towards the unconditional support and endorsement of the Islamic "freedom fighters". In today's World, the "freedom fighters" are labelled "Islamic terrorists".

-In the Pashtun language, the word "Taliban" means "Students", or graduates of the madrasahs (places of learning or coranic schools) set up by the Wahhabi missions from Saudi Arabia, with the support of the CIA. 

-Education in Afghanistan in the years preceding the Soviet-Afghan war was largely secular. The US covert education destroyed secular education. The number of  CIA sponsored religious schools (madrasahs) increased from 2,500 in 1980 to over 39,000.


The Soviet-Afghan war was part of a CIA covert agenda initiated during the Carter administration, which consisted  in actively supporting and financing the Islamic brigades, later known as Al Qaeda.

The Pakistani military regime played from the outset in the late 1970s, a key role in the US sponsored military and intelligence operations in Afghanistan. In the post-Cold war era, this central role of Pakistan in US intelligence operations was extended to the broader Central Asia- Middle East region. From the outset of the Soviet Afghan war in 1979, Pakistan under military rule actively supported the Islamic brigades. In close liaison with the CIA, Pakistan's military intelligence, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), became a powerful organization, a parallel government, wielding tremendous power and influence. 

America's covert war in Afghanistan, using Pakistan as a launch pad, was initiated during the Carter administration prior to the Soviet "invasion": 
"According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahideen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention." (Former National Security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, Interview with Le Nouvel Observateur, 15-21 January 1998)
In the published memoirs of Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who held the position of  deputy CIA Director at the height of the Soviet Afghan war, US intelligence was directly involved from the outset, prior to the Soviet invasion, in channeling aid to the Islamic brigades. 
Robert Gates
With CIA backing and the funneling of massive amounts of U.S. military aid, the Pakistani ISI had developed into a "parallel structure wielding enormous power over all aspects of government". (Dipankar Banerjee, "Possible Connection of ISI With Drug Industry", India Abroad, 2 December 1994). The ISI had a staff composed of military and intelligence officers, bureaucrats, undercover agents and informers, estimated at 150,000. (Ibid) 
Meanwhile, CIA operations had also reinforced the Pakistani military regime led by General Zia Ul Haq:
"Relations between the CIA and the ISI had grown increasingly warm following [General] Zia's ouster of Bhutto and the advent of the military regime. … During most of the Afghan war, Pakistan was more aggressively anti-Soviet than even the United States. Soon after the Soviet military invaded Afghanistan in 1980, Zia [ul Haq] sent his ISI chief to destabilize the Soviet Central Asian states. The CIA only agreed to this plan in October 1984." (Ibid)
The ISI operating virtually as an affiliate of the CIA, played a central role in channeling support to Islamic paramilitary groups in Afghanistan and subsequently in the Muslim republics of the former Soviet Union. 
Acting on behalf of the CIA, the ISI was also involved in the recruitment and training of the Mujahideen. In the ten year period from 1982 to 1992, some 35,000 Muslims from 43 Islamic countries were recruited to fight in the Afghan jihad. The madrassas in Pakistan, financed by Saudi charities, were also set up with  US support with a view to "inculcating Islamic values". "The camps became virtual universities for future Islamic radicalism," (Ahmed Rashid, The Taliban). Guerilla training under CIA-ISI auspices included targeted assassinations and car bomb attacks.  
"Weapons' shipments "were sent by the Pakistani army and the ISI to rebel camps in the North West Frontier Province near the Afghanistan border. The governor of the province is Lieutenant General Fazle Haq, who [according to Alfred McCoy] . allowed "hundreds of heroin refineries to set up in his province." Beginning around 1982, Pakistani army trucks carrying CIA weapons from Karachi often pick up heroin in Haq's province and return loaded with heroin. They are protected from police search by ISI papers."(1982-1989: US Turns Blind Eye to BCCI and Pakistani Government Involvement in Heroin Trade See also McCoy, 2003, p. 477)

(source RAWA)

Osama Bin Laden
Osama bin Laden, America's bogyman, was recruited by the CIA in 1979 at the very outset of the US sponsored jihad. He was 22 years old and was trained in a CIA sponsored guerilla training camp. 
During the Reagan administration, Osama, who belonged to the wealthy Saudi Bin Laden family was put in charge of raising money for the Islamic brigades. Numerous charities and foundations were created. The operation was coordinated by Saudi intelligence, headed by  Prince Turki al-Faisal, in close liaison with the CIA. The money derived from the various charities were used to finance the recruitment of Mujahieen volunteers. Al Qaeda, the base in Arabic was a data bank of volunteers who had enlisted to fight in the Afghan jihad. That data base was initially held by Osama bin Laden.  
The Reagan Administration supports "Islamic Fundamentalism"
Pakistan's ISI was used as a "go-between". CIA covert support to the Mujahideen in Afghanistan operated indirectly through the Pakistani ISI, --i.e. the CIA did not channel its support directly to the Mujahideen. In other words, for these covert operations to be "successful", Washington was careful not to reveal the ultimate objective of the "jihad", which consisted in destroying the Soviet Union.
In December 1984, the Sharia Law (Islamic jurisprudence) was established in Pakistan following a rigged referendum launched by President Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq. Barely a few months later, in March 1985, President Ronald Reagan issued National Security Decision Directive 166 (NSDD 166), which  authorized  "stepped-up covert military aid to the Mujahideen" as well a support to religious indoctrination. 
The imposition of The Sharia in Pakistan and the promotion of "radical Islam" was a deliberate US policy serving American geopolitical interests in South Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East.  Many present-day  "Islamic fundamentalist organizations" in the Middle East and Central Asia, were directly or indirectly the product of US covert support and financing, often channeled through foundations from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States. Missions from the Wahhabi sect of conservative Islam in Saudi Arabia were put in charge of running the CIA sponsored madrassas in Northern Pakistan.

Re: [mukto-mona] FW: 9/11 ANALYSIS: From Ronald Reagan to George W Bush



Dr. Roy, please read the first sentence of your post again. Even with my limited English skill I can guarantee that I have not misunderstood it. 
The report forwarded by Dr. Majid mentions that Laden was recruited by CIA in 1979 when he was 22 and he was trained in a CIA sponsored training camp. If this report is not unfounded, does this not refute your theory? 
Your theory that the Mujahidins were   the primary force and the USA the auxiliary one seems to be debatable in the light of the article attached here by Majid. 
Communist doctrine is godless and that is one of the reasons why the Islamists fought Soviet invasion! American capitalism is not godless. Why is America their enemy? Things are much more complex than we may think. 
You believe that there was no other better way to fight Soviet social imperialism than partnering with the Islamists. I am not going into the debate with you on this point. But you should admit that that policy suffered from shortsightedness. Cold war is almost gone. But in place of cold war the world has now got another war. 
In one NPR interview an ex-mujahidin (now an important official in Karzai government) has praised American role in fighting Soviet invasion but regretted that America left them helpless when most backward regime was gradually capturing the power.

This article summarizes earlier writings by the author on 9/11 and the role of Al Qaeda in US foreign policy. For further details see Michel Chossudovsky, America's "War on Terrorism", Global Research, 2005  

"The United States spent millions of dollars to supply Afghan schoolchildren with textbooks filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings....The primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then as the Afghan school system's core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books,..", (Washington Post, 23 March 2002)

"Advertisements, paid for from CIA funds, were placed in newspapers and newsletters around the world offering inducements and motivations to join the [Islamic] Jihad." (Pervez  Hoodbhoy, Peace Research, 1 May 2005)

"Bin Laden recruited 4,000 volunteers from his own country and developed close relations with the most radical mujahideen leaders. He also worked closely with the CIA, ... Since September 11, [2001] CIA officials have been claiming they had no direct link to bin Laden." (Phil Gasper, International Socialist Review, November-December 2001) 

Highlights

-Osama bin Laden, America's bogyman, was recruited by the CIA in 1979 at the very outset of the US sponsored jihad. He was 22 years old and was trained in a CIA sponsored guerilla training camp. 

-The architects of the covert operation in support of "Islamic fundamentalism" launched during the Reagan presidency played a key role in launching the "Global War on Terrorism" in the wake of 9/11. 

- President Ronald Reagan met the leaders of the Islamic Jihad at the White House in 1985

-Under the Reagan adminstration, US foreign policy evolved towards the unconditional support and endorsement of the Islamic "freedom fighters". In today's World, the "freedom fighters" are labelled "Islamic terrorists".

-In the Pashtun language, the word "Taliban" means "Students", or graduates of the madrasahs (places of learning or coranic schools) set up by the Wahhabi missions from Saudi Arabia, with the support of the CIA. 

-Education in Afghanistan in the years preceding the Soviet-Afghan war was largely secular. The US covert education destroyed secular education. The number of  CIA sponsored religious schools (madrasahs) increased from 2,500 in 1980 to over 39,000.


The Soviet-Afghan war was part of a CIA covert agenda initiated during the Carter administration, which consisted  in actively supporting and financing the Islamic brigades, later known as Al Qaeda.

The Pakistani military regime played from the outset in the late 1970s, a key role in the US sponsored military and intelligence operations in Afghanistan. In the post-Cold war era, this central role of Pakistan in US intelligence operations was extended to the broader Central Asia- Middle East region. From the outset of the Soviet Afghan war in 1979, Pakistan under military rule actively supported the Islamic brigades. In close liaison with the CIA, Pakistan's military intelligence, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), became a powerful organization, a parallel government, wielding tremendous power and influence. 

America's covert war in Afghanistan, using Pakistan as a launch pad, was initiated during the Carter administration prior to the Soviet "invasion": 
"According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahideen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention." (Former National Security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, Interview with Le Nouvel Observateur, 15-21 January 1998)
In the published memoirs of Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who held the position of  deputy CIA Director at the height of the Soviet Afghan war, US intelligence was directly involved from the outset, prior to the Soviet invasion, in channeling aid to the Islamic brigades. 
Robert Gates
With CIA backing and the funneling of massive amounts of U.S. military aid, the Pakistani ISI had developed into a "parallel structure wielding enormous power over all aspects of government". (Dipankar Banerjee, "Possible Connection of ISI With Drug Industry", India Abroad, 2 December 1994). The ISI had a staff composed of military and intelligence officers, bureaucrats, undercover agents and informers, estimated at 150,000. (Ibid) 
Meanwhile, CIA operations had also reinforced the Pakistani military regime led by General Zia Ul Haq:
"Relations between the CIA and the ISI had grown increasingly warm following [General] Zia's ouster of Bhutto and the advent of the military regime. … During most of the Afghan war, Pakistan was more aggressively anti-Soviet than even the United States. Soon after the Soviet military invaded Afghanistan in 1980, Zia [ul Haq] sent his ISI chief to destabilize the Soviet Central Asian states. The CIA only agreed to this plan in October 1984." (Ibid)
The ISI operating virtually as an affiliate of the CIA, played a central role in channeling support to Islamic paramilitary groups in Afghanistan and subsequently in the Muslim republics of the former Soviet Union. 
Acting on behalf of the CIA, the ISI was also involved in the recruitment and training of the Mujahideen. In the ten year period from 1982 to 1992, some 35,000 Muslims from 43 Islamic countries were recruited to fight in the Afghan jihad. The madrassas in Pakistan, financed by Saudi charities

RE: [mukto-mona] FW: 9/11 ANALYSIS: From Ronald Reagan to George W Bush



         Jiten Roy"s sick, imbecile, shallow, brown-nose logic:

<< Therefore, all USA had to do is - train them and help them with arms and ammunitions. That's exactly what USA did there. USA just made use of well motivated ready-made fighters against Soviet Army.  Therefore, it will be wrong to say that USA created Taliban and Al-Qaeda. USA did not create them - they were there long before Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. USA just used them. >>

 

          He reminds me of the psychic state of a 5-yr old boy with an abusive step-father. The victim of abuse justifying the actions of the abuser out of panic and lack of self-esteem!

Out of everything else I said, Mr. Chakraborty pivoted his thoughts on the word (godless) from my previous statements, and ultimately came up with a wrong conclusion.

 

My comments were not about whether USA was fighting 'godlessness' in that area or not, it was to explain why USA supported Islamic fundamentalists, including Al-Qaeda, at that time. Unfortunately, Mr. Chakraborty could not see that point because his thoughts were entrapped on the word "godless" and he could not get out of it.

 

Yes, one of the major factors that motivated the Islamic fundamentalists from all over the world (Middle-East, Africa, Bangladesh, USA, etc.) to converge in that region to fight Soviet invasion was the "godlessness' in the communist doctrine. But, that was not the motivating factor for the US-government at all. US strategy was to fight communism, and that's why they were helping Mujahidin Army. This point does not need any explanation. Even a half-educated man will understand it without further mention. By the way, communists are godless people. Isn't it?

1. The theory of USA's fighting godlessness seems to be absurd. Reasons for the fight were more deep rooted. 
2. Unless we get rid of our mental and intellectual inertia in the way we read history, our analysis and conclusions are doomed to be misleading. We need to be open minded to the emerging evidences based on research and unclassified documents seeing the light of the day.

Yes, USA supported fundamentalists, Al-Qaeda, Taliban, Mujahedin, etc. to counter godless communist invasion in Afghanistan and elsewhere in the world. There was no better way to fight communism than to promote and recruit religious fundamentalists throughout the world to fight cold war. The fundamentalists were extremely motivated suicidal warriors, and they were already fighting against Soviet invasion. They could not gain foothold against sophisticated Russian Army. Therefore, all USA had to do is - train them and help them with arms and ammunitions. That's exactly what USA did there. USA just made use of well motivated ready-made fighters against Soviet Army.  Therefore, it will be wrong to say that USA created Taliban and Al-Qaeda. USA did not create them - they were there long before Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. USA just used them.

 

Cold war is over, and the usefulness of religious fundamentalists for USA has ended. Now, Russia and China have found them useful, and they are using them against USA whenever they can. In both situations, religious fundamentalists are the sacrificial lambs, and they are not aware of it. They are too blinded by their religious faith to see these phenomena.

           Please read this and try to understand why, with what force secular, progressive Muslim voices have been gagged in the subcontinent. In the War of aggression in 1971 which ended with the birth of Bangladesh USA aided the aggressor Pakistani Military with arms and finance. This should also explain why Jamaat and its honcho war criminals of 1971 have been dominating Bangladeshi politics for the last 36 years.
          From time to time I have been writing about these USA/CIA and Islamic fundamentalism alliance for last two decades. My article, "Law, Literature and Islam" (in Law and Literature Perspectives, ed. Bruce Rockwood, Peter Lang 1996, 2006) delves into the Salman Rushdie Affair and touches upon some of the points (such as the Iran-Contra scheme during Reagan administration)  highlighted by Michel Chossudovky here.

"The camps became virtual universities for future Islamic radicalism," (Ahmed Rashid, The Taliban). Guerilla training under CIA-ISI auspices included targeted assassinations and car bomb attacks.  
"Weapons' shipments "were sent by the Pakistani army and the ISI to rebel camps in the North West Frontier Province near the Afghanistan border. The governor of the province is Lieutenant General Fazle Haq, who [according to Alfred McCoy] . allowed "hundreds of heroin refineries to set up in his province." Beginning around 1982, Pakistani army trucks carrying CIA weapons from Karachi often pick up heroin in Haq's province and return loaded with heroin. They are protected from police search by ISI papers."(1982-1989: US Turns Blind Eye to BCCI and Pakistani Government Involvement in Heroin Trade See also McCoy, 2003, p. 477)

Osama Bin Laden
Osama bin Laden, America's bogyman, was recruited by the CIA in 1979 at the very outset of the US sponsored jihad. He was 22 years old and was trained in a CIA sponsored guerilla training camp. 
During the Reagan administration, Osama, who belonged to the wealthy Saudi Bin Laden family was put in charge of raising money for the Islamic brigades. Numerous charities and foundations were created. The operation was coordinated by Saudi intelligence, headed by  Prince Turki al-Faisal, in close liaison with the CIA. The money derived from the various charities were used to finance the recruitment of Mujahieen volunteers. Al Qaeda, the base in Arabic was a data bank of volunteers who had enlisted to fight in the Afghan jihad. That data base was initially held by Osama bin Laden.  
The Reagan Administration supports "Islamic Fundamentalism"
Pakistan's ISI was used as a "go-between". CIA covert support to the Mujahideen in Afghanistan operated indirectly through the Pakistani ISI, --i.e. the CIA did not channel its support directly to the Mujahideen. In other words, for these covert operations to be "successful", Washington was careful not to reveal the ultimate objective of the "jihad", which consisted in destroying the Soviet Union.
In December 1984, the Sharia Law (Islamic jurisprudence) was established in Pakistan following a rigged referendum launched by President Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq. Barely a few months later, in March 1985, President Ronald Reagan issued National Security Decision Directive 166 (NSDD 166), which  authorized  "stepped-up covert military aid to the Mujahideen" as well a support to religious indoctrination. 
The imposition of The Sharia in Pakistan and the promotion of "radical Islam" was a deliberate US policy serving American geopolitical interests in South Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East.  Many present-day  "Islamic fundamentalist organizations" in the Middle East and Central Asia, were directly or indirectly the product of US covert support and financing, often channeled through foundations from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States. Missions from the Wahhabi sect of conservative Islam in Saudi Arabia were put in charge of running the CIA sponsored madrassas in Northern Pakistan.
