Arabian Knights

The sudden stance of Arab world for the state of Palestine to have a reservation in world’s so-called peace keeping community of UN seems really surprising to me. The political geography of Arab world is changing, and it’s really eye raising that in such a time when your very own monarchies are threatened at home by revolutionaries, you are standing up for you much needed brother Muslim country which when needed you badly you abandoned it.

The Arab world never used its billions of dollars from petroleum to modernise or urbanise Palestine. They could easily used this only God-gifted resource to pressurise international community to stop Israel from building settlements in West Bank and Gaza, instead they didn’t. And here they are begging the veto powers to grant Palestine a slot in UN which, most likely, is to going to be rejected. It’s all because their monarchies are heavily dependent upon these powers, without them these monarchies would fall and that are why they are afraid of these powers. Even our beloved and respected House of Saud itself is established by the colonials when the Bedouin Hashemites were dethroned and exiled to Syria after the fall of Ottoman Empire at the end of 1^st world war, the Sauds annexed their land, modern day Saudi Arabia, with the British at their backs. So it’s simple the British installed the House of Saud so that they can have a leverage over the region and over oil market. The Europeans powers had a long history of attempts to secure an imperial stake in Middle East. With time after 2^nd world war with the shift in global power from Colonials to US and Soviets, this leverage was automatically shifted to Uncle Sam. Now the Arabs know if Uncle Sam isn’t pleased with their doings the results would be devastating like Egypt and Tunisia.

So given the defeat in July 2006 in Lebanon of Israeli forces, the Arabs sighted this an opportunity to avenge the Six day war and the 1948 Arab-Israel war. They saw this as weakening of Israel’s military strength but seem like Uncle Sam and the Londoners smelled a rat and to protect their beloved state of Israel from Arab wrath the authorities in Capitol Hill and in Windsor warned them by first dethroning their very own man Bin Ali in Tunisia and then turned to Egypt. Now it’s Libya and Bahrain slowly it’ll be Syria and finally the House of Saud, but before it comes to House of Saud, it will neutralise itself as it has been doing n past thus protecting the throne. So in order to save their monarchies they must have backing of all powers and above all that of super power. So these delegations to veto powers countries to persuade them to vote in favour of a slot for Palestine in UN, are in fact begging them to grant them a chance to prove their loyalty to their masters. If they were so concerned about the holy land of Palestine they would have liberated it from Israeli tyranny by any means necessary.

Sending delegations just for a slot in an organisation which couldn’t even grant them freedom in 63 years is like making fun of the spilled blood of thousands of innocent Palestinians since 1948.       

My city of Lights

 9 people were killed on average each day in last month of July. I wouldn't dare to go out if I am a Pushtoon; I wouldn’t dare to go out if I am a Muhajir, for I am Pakistani living in my great Quaid's city, Karachi, my city of lights.

A great conspiracy is being planned, in fact the plan has been put into action if I am not wrong. Karachi is burning; people are calling their elected, safe-behind-walls, leaders, but seems like no one can hear them. Our respected interior minister may say that security is on high alert yet the blood is shed in the streets of Karachi, the city of Lights is now the city of fights, after north it’s another new war front within Pakistan. The wedge is struck, the rift is created and now it’s widening. Pushtoon accuses Muhajir responsible of innocent blood spilled and Muhajir is accusing Pushtoon for the same.

Karachi is now more like a furnace in which our political parties are moulding their swords to fight their political wars for power, seems like no one cares. One sits far away in London, claiming to be country’s asset and not having guts to come back, delivers fiery speeches, and on other hand our beloved govt just sit back and pass statements like; “situation is under control” and “the worst is over” of course the worst is over since the worst itself will be ashamed of inflicting itself upon a nation which have lost the power to resist it. Jinnah made a worst mistake by giving up his Rs 1500/- per day job and work day and night to carve a country like this on the face of earth which merely 64 years after its birth will be on rise in world corrupt country’s list and on fall in world’s biggest economies’ list. Iqbal would call his dream a nightmare if he were here today, they both died before their times not to see their nation fall. Iqbal’s “Shaheen” youth is now a vulture, which let go of no opportunity to party on left over.

Our enemies are charging in each passing day. Foreign powers are definitely involved otherwise activities like attack on Mehran naval base wouldn’t be possible, such attack require superior intelligence and careful planning. RAW, KGB and The Institute i.e.; Mossad, with The Company (CIA) not an exception, has been hunting our nuclear arsenal the day it was built. We are already isolated; first it were Northern areas then comes Peshawar after that Lahore and now Karachi, different tactics but same purpose of proving our country a rogue state and dismantle our nuclear arsenal, an asset that claimed many, still unknown, lives, an asset that stand as only hope of Muslims of Palestine, Kashmir, Iraq, Chechnya and Bosnia.

Our neighbouring  intelligence agency is already successful in taking over our international sports, seems like its time they take on our economy  and then on our army and finally our nuclear arsenal but before that happens we need to wake up, Swat and Waziristan were early warning bells the bells again rang in Peshawar and Lahore and finally in Karachi, we should better wake up before the time when no bells are rung instead an artillery boom is heard, before the time IMF privatises every business in country, before the time when one morning we wake up with our newspapers imprinted with headlines that “Uncle Sam takes over Pakistani nuclear arsenal” or “Pakistan de-nuclearised” , before the time when we plunge into another ‘71 like situation.

Its time our intelligence agencies and army together with patriotic democratic forces takes over the invigilation of whole situation. These are dark times there is no denying but in every grey cloud there is a silver lightening, after every night there is a day, after twilight there is a breaking dawn. May Allah bless Karachi and may Allah bless Pakistan.

The Gift

Why is it always you have to sacrifice something in order to gain something, why there isn’t any gain without any pain? Today we live in 21^st century, country miles away isn’t far away than a click of a mouse. Humans sacrificed a lot to get all these comforts of life. We lost much and after that we were able to get all this. So what if we lost nothing and get all this, why God wants HIS finest creation, we the humans, to struggle for everything even for survival?

This is the question I used to ask myself, because it isn’t difficult for HIM to grant us everything without our struggle. So why is that we have to strive on, the answer was very much around me and I didn’t realise it. HE has gifted HIS finest creation with one of the finest gift and that is freedom of choice. It is so precious that if we come to value this gift and come to know about it, our soul will be free of all ill. Between what is to be lost and what is to be gained, what is right and what is wrong one have to make a choice and how to make a correct one is how do we value this gift. We are free to make a choice, no one can force us.

For instance, in order to get to the top you have to prove it that you are worth it, you have to work hard for it, fight for it, you’ll stumble, you’ll fall right on your face, you’ll more often but in the end you’ll get there, you’ll have to give it all it take. Now the choice is entirely yours, are you ready to and strong enough to go through all this, do you really want to get to the top? If yes then go ahead, pay the price. If no then stay where you are and stop dreaming, the choice is entirely yours, no one will force you to make one.
