NEWS OF THE DAY: January 15: The U.S. admitted that Osama bin Laden has
eluded the Americans. They have no idea where he is and sense that he
might
have left Afghanistan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pakistani observers say: Betrayal of Afghan ambassador Abdus Salam
Zaeef by
the Musharref government is a stain on the history of Pakistan.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
African-American Muslim leader Imam Jamil al-Amin faces a trial for his
life

a
test of faith for those who claim to be Muslims in America - Pakistani

Wily Afghans Playing Games with Rich Americans
Shock for Americans: Osama is Most Popular Man in Muslim World
Musharref arrests 2000 Muslims: Will Powell and Vajpayee be satisfied?
If you watch CNN, MSNBC and Fox, you might have noticed a week
back
the hopeful American story that the three top Afghan ministers under
the
Taliban were about to "surrender." Viewers were told that the Karzai
regime
will probably hand over the three to the U.S. Of these the justice
minister
is most wanted because he implemented Sharia during Taliban regime,
imposing
severe punishments to deter bandits and rapists and to implement
Islamic
dress and stop the spread of Indian movies and American 'blue' films.
After two days of good news of impending surrender, came the
strange
report that although the three ministers had surrendered, the Karzai
regime
had let them go and they had returned to their native villages. There
was an
element of shock in this report, especially because the man who
implemented
Quran and hadith had been let go.
After that came the news that the "surrender" had never happened!
There
were no ministers in government hands to hand over to the U.S. THE
ENTIRE
STORY, WHICH KEPT U.S. MEDIA BUSY FOR 5 DAYS WAS BOGUS!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
People are also realizing that the Afghans we saw on TV killing,
murdering al-Qaeda Islamists were not typical of the Afghans. These
were
Dostum communists as well bandits, mercenaries and cutthroats who do
not
share the Islamic values of the masses of Afghans. Most Afghans still
proved
to be true sons of Islam. With a $25 million price on Osama's head, NOT
ONE
AFGHAN CAME FORWARD to pinpoint where he was. The same is true of
Mullah Omar
and Ayman al-Zawahiri who have millions of dollars on their head.
With the intense poverty of Afghanistan, it is indeed a miracle of
faith
that millions of dollars offered by the U.S. did not draw EVEN ONE
authentic
lead.
The Afghans, with the exception of the few traitors who are now
'rulers'
of Kabul, played with the Americans. 'Here, give me $10: I'll take you
to
someone who has heard about Osama's hiding place.' The CIA man hands
over
$10, is taken to another wise guy who says: "I could try to find out
where
Osama is, but I'll need $100 to get people to talk." For the CIA man,
$100 is
nothing if he can call in an air strike where Osama is even faintly
said to
be hiding. The wise guy takes the $100 and comes back the next day to
say:
the area where Osama is hiding is very difficult to enter. I'll put
together
a team to go in there but I'll need $10,000 to pay my men.
Thus it goes on, up and down Afganistan, the hunt for Osama and
the sons
of Islam. The CIA is looking bad, and even funny. In the process, one
can see
the meaning of the Pushtun proverb:
"A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE SOON PARTED."

IRAQ HAS RELEASED A SURVEY according to which 98% of Iraqis consider
Osama
Bin Laden "the man of the year" for 2001. Osama is also the most
popular
human being in Pakistan, Indonesia,Bangladesh, Kashmir, Palestine,
Somalia,
Sudan, Northern Nigeria and SAUDI ARABIA.
It's almost impossible for Americans to understand this phenomenon
because
for Americans, their history with Muslims began on September 11, 2001.
{Last week Saddam Hussain openly defied American power and said that
Iraq
would fight American aggression.}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For 4 days after his speech, MUSHARREF's POLICE has been busy arresting
Islamic activists. The total arrested is now more than 2000. More than
300
Islamic offices have been closed down. Mujahideen who had gone to
Kashmir to
fight are not being permitted to return to their homes. In Karachi, a
group
of imams was invited by the government for "discussion" and then
arrested.
The Pakistani coup leader is bending over backward to please Powell
(who is
on the way to check on Musharref's performance) and Vajpayee, the Hindu
fascist running India. Will the Indian army strike or will it be
persuaded to
give up this unusual opportunity?
Muslims are remaining peaceful, as they are sure of their strength and
final
victory although
the treachery and low behavior of Musharref has reached a level seldom
attained by any Pakistani leader. Pakistani observers say, Musharref
has sold
out completely to the U.S. but he has not yet crossed the line with
India. If
he openly joins hands with India against Islam, the situation would
change
