1. TENET ATTACKS MEDRESSAS, PRAISES MUSHARREF, Preaches "JIHAD" (U.S.
style)
CIA Director Tenet was "live" on CNN and other TV stations on
February
2. It was his first appearance after the 9/11 attacks and he was every
evasive about the CIA's failure in stopping the attacks. It was quite
evident
that he does not have any clue about how the attacks were successfully
carried out. Out of the 1000 people whom he claims to have been
arrested
around the world for ‘Al-Qaida links', only ONE has been indicted and
he
(Mossaoui) was in immigration prison well-before 9/11. Just because he
shouted TAKBIR in prison when he heard the news (if that is true) does
not
mean that he was involved.
Director Tenet implied that there is danger from possible
development
of weapons of mass destruction by Al-Qaida and by Iraq. Again this
story
seems to be meant to divert listeners from the real issue. The 9/11
attacks
were not made with ANY WEAPONS of any kind. So, there is no point in
creating
scenarios about weapons of mass destruction.
Iraq did not fire any such weapons even when it was under assault
for 42
days.
Is the CIA building up a fear complex which in turn helps to take
attention away from the basic issue of its own failure?
TENET WAS FULL OF PRAISE FOR MUSHARREF (Pakistani coup leader) for
his
help in the war on Afghanistan. For Tenet, the problem for America are
PAKISTAN'S ISLAMIC SCHOOLS which he said teach "intolerance and
hatred." This
is going to be difficult for Mr. Tenet. WHY? Because the problem is
that
Islam itself teaches intolerance and hatred of oppression, imperialism,
exploitation and hegemony by the unbelievers, particularly the Jews.
Medressas are straightforward in this expression. Tenet would have to
devise
a way of destroying Islam itself before this intolerance and hatred
will end.
TENET SEEMED TO KNOW THAT HE HAS A MUSLIM AUDIENCE. He tried to
signal
to American Muslims, what kind of "Islam" is acceptable to the CIA. He
came
up with the story that the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had referred to war
as the
"lesser jihad" and to self-purification as the "greater jihad." Muslims
in
America often hear this fabrication bandied about to stop support for
the
struggle in Palestine. PLEASE NOTE THIS:
THERE IS NO SUCH ISLAMIC TEACHING COMING FROM PROPHET MUHAMMAD (pbuh).
All
the great Islamic scholars on Jihad, from Ibn Taymiyya to Hasan
al-Banna to
Dr. Omar Abdel Rahman have pointed out that this "lesser
jihad"/"greater
jihad" story is a fabrication. The Qur'an and the Hadith make it quite
clear,
in detail and unambiguous language, that ARMED STRUGGLE against
oppression is
the highest level of Islam. All else is secondary. There is no
authentic
Islamic scholar who says otherwise. Tenet will have to declare ALLAMA
IQBAL A
TERRORIST who made it very clear that:
"shahadat hay matlub-o-maqsude mumin/na mal-e-ghanimat na kishwar
kushai"
("martyrdom is the desire and the purpose of the true believer: not
spoils of
war, nor conquest."
TENET WAS ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE STRUGGLE IN CHECHNYA IS
CONTINUING.
The Islamic struggle there has not only not been crushed {Russia has
"made no
headway in Chechnya" in his words} but the fighting is having an effect
of
"spillover into Georgia."
"American Taliban" Br. Sulayman Abdul Hamid (John Walker Lindh) has
been
denied bail. Attorney General Ashcroft went on TV to condemn him even
before
the trial began. An elaborate media campaign is going on against him.
His
private conversations with his parents are being ferreted out to try
and
convict him on the media before the trial begins.
Ashcroft and his cronies are taking away the American people's right to
differ with the government's version of conflict around the world.
Also,
privacy rights are eroding. The overall attempt is to ENFORCE
CONFORMITY with
the daily dose of government propaganda on CNN et all.
{Meetings with his attorneys plus pickets and protests in front of the
court
house are planned. If you would like to join, email us with your name

PAKISTANI SCHOLARS CHALLENGE MUSHARRAF'S POLICIES
" Jihad as the only way to Liberate Kashmir"
MUSHARREF IS DIVIDING THE NATION while 1 million Indian troops ready to
attack
A gathering of scholars in Lahore, Pakistan (February 5) criticized
the
Musharref government for constantly begging India's Vajpayee (racist)
government for "talks" while India has massed ONE MILLION troops on
Pakistan's borders and could attack any day. Our rulers are keeping
people
busy with cultural activities like "Jashne Lahore" and even the Hindu
festival of Basant.
The gathering was addressed by: Justice (ret) Javed Iqbal, Aslam
Saleemi, Deputy Ameer of Jamaate Islami, Justice (ret) Raja Afrasiab,
Brigadier (ret) Muhammad Shafi, Sis. Surayya Khursheed, and a number
of
others.
The speakers agreed that the liberation of Kashmir can only come
through Jihad and the Qur'an has made jihad obligatory on oppressed
Muslims.
The Jamaate Islami leader condemned the "satanic unity" between the
rulers of
Pakistan and the U.S. and criticized the "logistical support" Musharref
gave
to the U.S.
SHARON in the WHITE HOUSE AGAIN
Few people resemble a pig more than Israeli Jew Sharon does. Here
he was
again on Feb.7, ambling into the White House to meet his good friend
Bush.
The dialogue as usual was secret but what little has come out indicates
that:
SHARON the pig wants Arafat to be delinked from the "peace process."
Bush
thinks there is no one else (yet) to fill the "gap."
The target of both is the Islamic movement, be it Hamas,
Hizbullah,
al-Qaida, Islamic Jihad or Hizbut Tahrir. The problem is how to
"empower"
Arafat to strike at the Islamists. (Arafat is too weak to become
another
"Northern Alliance." So the Jews have him cooped up like a mouse in
Ramallah
and keep putting pressure on him to go out and kill Muslims.)
Part of the game is to legitimize Arafat as a "real" opponent of
Israel,
so that when he talks with the Jews, as he will sooner or later, it
should be
as a genuine representative of Palestine who never gave in to Sharon.
It's a clever game. Arafat wants the Islamists to sacrifice themselves
so
that he will one day get his little statelet.
Bush is quite ready to provide that bantustan "palestine" but Arafat
has not
had the ability to go out and slaughter the Muslims.
In the meantime, Bush is so mesmerized by his own
propaganda
that he can't see that the whole world can see him hobnobbing with the
world's top terrorist: SHARON. Hence all of Bush's talk about the "war
on
terrorism" loses its authenticity.
