[chottala.com] Alas! Yazid is Reborn

 

Alas! Yazid is Reborn

By Tanveer Jafri

Feature Article
A Taliban fighter

Last days, a video was issued by the terrorist organisation Al Qaeda. In this video, an Al Qaeda commander Mustafa Abu Al Yazid was shown spitting out poison against India, the US & Pakistan administration. This fundamentalist leader named Yazid issued the threats which were self-contradictory. On one side, he advised & threatened the Pak administration & Pak army to not to cooperate with the US & at the same time, it warned the Indian army that if it tries to attack Pakistan, it will face the same fate as Soviet army had met in Afghanistan. In this case, he said that warriors of the Al Qaeda & the Taliban would jointly fight against India. He also warned that there will be more attacks in India on the lines of 26/11 Mumbai attacks. Here it is necessary to state that he is the same Al Qaeda commander Mustafa, who was claimed to be killed by the Pakistan army in an attack. But last days, Yazid issued a video tape that revealed that he is still alive & not dead.

Whereas the name Yazid is concerned, about 1400 years ago, the then Syrian ruler Yazid was the first to start terrorism in Islam by mercilessly killing the near relatives of Prophet. He killed Imam Husain & his family members. After that the Muslims in the world stopped to name their newborns as Yazid. Similarly as in India, people may name the new born babies as Rama, Laxman or like that but they avoid to name the new born as Ravana. Similarly, nowhere in the world, the Muslims name their children as Yazid. But as the man Abu Al Yazid has issued a tape which is anti-human & anti-Islam, it means that Yazid has not died yet, he is still alive. There is no doubt that the name Yazid is still acceptable & "Yazidi" thoughts are spreading their paws even today.

Whereas the question of Al Qaeda & Taliban is concerned, both of these are the two different sides of the same coin that is terrorism. Both of these organizations are in favour of extreme fundamentalism & dream of to rule over the self styled Islamic empire in the world. In fact they were fully encouraged when the Taliban in Afghanistan were helped by the US to root out the Soviet army. During this struggle of the cold war, the US was successful in its policy & got Afghanistan free from the influence of the Soviet Union. What position the Taliban will take, perhaps it was not even thought of by the then policymakers in the US. Today the combined network of the Taliban & the Al Qaeda along with them dozens of the terrorist organizations that work under the directions of these have become a great headache to the peace loving citizens of the world. These organizations have a vast store of weapons. Had it not been so, how commander like Yazid could have imagined challenging the great army of the big country like India.

To be remembered that when Osama Bin Laden proved a headache for the US in the initial period, then the US put pressure on Saudi Arabia & got Osama extricated from Arab. Then the active organization named the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, which was afterwards known as Taliban had its chief Mullah Mohammad Omar who gave shelter to Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan. From then, the relations between Taliban & Al Qaeda became cordial. And the relations grew so sweet that Mullah Omar married one of his daughters to Osama Bin Laden. Al Qaeda & Taliban joined with the local groups & made the Soviet army to leave Afghanistan. The terrorist leaders took it as their great victory. This incident not only encouraged the Taliban but it also enabled them to capture a large stone of ammunition. There were also weapons that the US had given to Taliban for using against the Soviet Army. They also captured those tanks & weapons that the Soviet Army had left there while leaving that place.

Although the Taliban's mission cooled down for some time after the 9/11 attack on the US. The NATO army under the leadership of the US with the help of Northern Alliance uprooted the Taliban. But soon they regained the strength. After getting strength again, Taliban under a new policy is gathering a new stock of weapons. Under this policy wherever & on which army they make hidden attacks, they capture their weapons first. This way, the Taliban have gathered a vast store of ammunitions. About the ammunition, a strange fact is coming out. The US sends a large store of ammunition & weapons for the use of the NATO forces to use in Afghanistan. But according to a report, there is no account of the ammunition & weapons there. Thousands of these weapons that contain pistols, machine guns, rifles, rocket launchers, mortars, rockets etc. are there that are not in account. There is also a thought that the Taliban fighters may be occupying these armaments that are to be used against them.

Probably the increasing power of Taliban, their bravery, their fearlessness & their environment is forcing the US to think over its policy again over Afghanistan to reach on a final turn. But along with the other American efforts, it is also necessary to unarm the Taliban. Besides, it is also necessary for the world to understand that a person named Yazid in the organization & the movement, who is calling for the Islamic welfare, is in fact concerned with the "Yazidian" thoughts. He is not representative of the real Islam whose foundation stone was laid by the Prophet Mohammad & the plant was watered with the blood by his relatives- Husain & his family. Islam that gives an example of being liberal, equality & brotherhood in the world & not to bow before untruth has no connection with the cruel "Yazidian" thoughts.

[chottala.com] Middle-East Crisis:Can It Be Solved?--- Part : 1

Middle-East Crisis: Can It Be Solved?

(PART-1)
Badrul Islam


The 44th US President, Barack.Hussein 0bama, in his inaugural speech
mentioned that: "We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and
Hindus, and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and
culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have
tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged
from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but
believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of
tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our
common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its
role in ushering in a new era of peace.
To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual
interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who
seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West, know
that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you
destroy.
To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and
the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of
history, but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to
unclench your fist."
The depth of these words, I feel are very refreshing indeed and
ushers in the "Change" from the previous 43rd President's moral
words, "Either you are for us or against us". Congratulations Mr.
President. Credit is also due for selecting Middle-East convoy,
George Mitchell, who according to Los Angeles Times, is no stranger
to conflicts. Mitchell received the Presidential Medal of Freedom
from President Clinton in 1999 for his work on reaching a peace
accord in Northern Ireland. (Ref: latimes.com dated 24/1/2009).
There is no doubt of the good intentions of the President. "Change"
is good; deciding to make change is the easy part, getting people to
do that are the difficult task. Let us analyze.
The same issue of Los Angeles Times mentions that, " In his new role,
Mitchell will once again be working with Tony Blair, who was British
Prime Minister at the time of Good Friday agreement." Why and what is
the necessity when Tony, towards the end of his career became
controversial and unpopular, both at home and abroad due to his part
in creating the turmoil in Iraq.
On Middle East peace, Mr. Obama reiterated his administration's
support for Israel and its security but also suggested Israelis would
have to make some tough choices.
"Ultimately we cannot tell either the Israelis or the Palestinians
what is best for them. They are going to have to make some
decisions," he said.
"But I do believe the moment is ripe for both sides to realize that
the path that they are on is one that is not going to result in
prosperity and security for their people. And that instead, it's time
to return to the negotiating table."(Globalnews24.com dated
January27, 2009).
This sounds more realistic but what, if I may ask, will they do, at
the negotiating table?
Will Mitchell be brave enough to remind the Israelis the fact that
in the 19th century this land of Palestine was inherited by
Multicultural population –approximately 86 percent Muslim,10 percent
Christians and 4 percent Jews—all living in peace? But a group of
Jews in Europe decided to form a Jewish land and they considered
locations in Africa and America before settling on Palestine.
Hitler's rise to power combined with the Zionists activities to
sabotage efforts to place Jewish refugees in western countries, led
to increased Jewish immigration to Palestine and the conflict began.
(Ref:ifamericansknew.org/history)
In 1938 Mohandas.K.Gandhi, widely acclaimed as the worlds most humane
Leader and Statesman, in response to queries on Arab-Jew question in
Palestine and Hitler's persecution of the Jews in Germany, he wrote
an article "Jews & Middle-East: A Non-Violent look at Conflict &
Violence". (Ref:kamat.com/mmgandhi/mideast.htm) Due to space
constraints I highlight the necessary wordings that President of the
US and all other world leaders would sincerely benefit from as a
guideline for permanent peace.
"My sympathies are all with the Jews. I have known them intimately in
South Africa. The parallel between their treatment by Christians and
the treatment of untouchables by Hindus is very close. Religious
sanction has been invoked in both cases for the justification of the
inhuman treatment meted out to them. But my sympathy does not blind
me to the requirements of justice. Why should they not, like other
peoples of the earth, make that country their home where they are
born and where they earn their livelihood? Palestine belongs to the
Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France
to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the
Arabs. What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any
moral code of conduct.
And now a word to the Jews in Palestine. I have no doubt that they
are going about it the wrong way. The Palestine of the Biblical
conception is not geographical tract. It is in their hearts. But if
they must look to the Palestine of geography as their national home,
it is wrong to enter it under the shadow of the British gun. A
religious act cannot be performed with the aid of the bayonet or the
bomb. They can settle in Palestine only by the goodwill of the Arabs.
They should seek to convert the Arab heart. The same God rules the
Arab heart, who rules the Jewish heart. They can offer satyagraha in
front of the Arabs. They will find the world opinion in their favor
in their religious aspiration. There are hundreds of ways of
reasoning with the Arabs, if they will only discard the help of the
British bayonet. As it is, they are co-sharers with the British in
despoiling a people who have done no wrong to them.
I am not defending the Arab excesses. I wish they had chosen the way
of non-violence in resisting what they rightly regarded as an
unwarrantable encroachment upon their country. But according to the
accepted canons of right and wrong, nothing can be said against the
Arab resistance in the face of overwhelming odds.
Let the Jews who claim to be the chosen races prove their title by
choosing the way of non-violence for vindicating their position on
earth. Every country is their home including Palestine, not by
aggression but by loving service. Given the will, the Jews can refuse
to be treated as the outcaste of the West, to be despised or
patronized. He can command the attention and respect of the world by
being man, the chosen creation of God, instead of being man who is
fast sinking to the brute and forsaken by God. They can add to their
many contributions the surpassing contribution of non-violent action."
I feel confident that if Mitchell can place this non-violent action
plan on the "negotiating table", it should enlighten both. warring
parties as it comes from a honorable person who himself was a victim
of the aggressive administrators in South African .
The President concluded his speech with the following words, "Let it
be said by our children's children that when we were tested we
refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we
falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us,
we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely
to future generations"
These words offer confidence that President.0bama could be trusted to
achieve the goal of permanent peace so that children's children of
Israel and Palestine could breathe fresh air and not gun powder and
when an child of Israel meets a child of Palestine the Israeli
child wouldn't say" My father said you hate Jews and plan to kill
us all." In reply the child of Palestine wouldn't have to reply "I
don't know about that; my father was killed by an Israeli soldier.

[chottala.com] Re: Sale of Alaska was not Desh Bikri !

Sale of Lousiana by Franch & Alaska by Tsar of Russia was not Desh Bikri !
 
Yes, besides Alaska from Russia 14 other states were puchased from Napoleon
Bonaparte's Franch. Napoleon Bonaparte upon completion of the agreement, stated,
"This accession of territory affirms forever the power of the United States, and I
have given England a maritime rival who sooner or later will humble her pride."
 
The Louisiana Purchase was not limited to the current state of Lousiana [Capital
Baton Rouge] but encompassed portions of 14 current U.S. states and 2 Canadian Provinces. The land purchased contained all of present-day Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, parts of Minnesota that were west of the Missippi 
River, most of North Dakota, nearly all of South Dakota, northeastern New Mexico, the
portions of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado east of the Continental Divide, and
Lousiana west of the Mississippi River, including the city of New Orleans (The Oklahoma
Panhandle, and southwestern portions of Kansas and Louisiana were still claimed by Spain at the time of the Purchase.) In addition, the Purchase contained small portions of land that would eventually become part of the Canadian provinces of Alberta and  Saskatchewan.. The land included in Louisiana Purchase comprises around 23% of the
territory of the United States today.

Why Alaska only the state of Lousiana was purchased from the French. French influence can be seen apparent in  New Orleans. I had the opportunity of visiting New Orleans.  There may be other states that have been purchased. If you do little research then you find that fate of many ppeople have been decided by their rulers without their knowledge.

Alaska purchase referred by Dr. Mahmoodur Rahman is a "selective truth" in this context in
http://www.dailynay adiganta. com/fullnews. asp?News_ ID=129703&sec=6
 
Alaska Purchase Acquisition in 1867 by the US from Russia
 
It can no way be called "Desh Bikri" as our Antellectual Dr. Mahmoodur Rahman trying to infer. It was basically a Land-Sale by one occupier (Tsar) to a buyer who made it a part of a country United States of America.
 
Dr. Mahmoodur Rahman  has essentially compared "apples" and "oranges"  at his  convenience [He thought, he can show High Court to the blind people]

 
The Louisiana Purchase (French: Vente de la Louisiane "Louisiana Sale") was the acquisition by the United States of America of 828,800 square miles (2,147,000 km2) of the French territory Louisiane in 1803. The U.S. paid 60 million francs ($11,250,000) plus cancellation of debts worth 18 million francs ($3,750,000) , a total cost of $15,000,000 for the Louisiana territory.
