| Secularists feared by Sajid Mir Daily Nawa-e-Waqt reported leader of Markazi Ahle Hadith as saying that if the religious parties went on quarrelling among themselves the secularists of Pakistan might come to power again. If the mullahs got together he said the people will 'give them note together with vote'. How blasphemers are invented Monthly Naya Zamana had a report from Nabil Anwar Dhaku Chakwal which told the story of how a Foreign Office clerk Mohammad Ishaq turned saint while in America was named blasphemer in Talagang and sentenced to death for insulting the Prophet PUBH by a judge in Adiala jail Rawalpindi after a scared judge in Jhelum had first gave him death. Ishaq became popular in Talagang as cult figure and his followers chanted 'Ya Rasul-Allah' which was interpreted by jealous Deobandis as insult. A judge refused to take the case because he was scared of the Deobandis but later another scared judge in Jhelum gave him death, confirmed in Adiala jail. Indian Kashmir attacks Valentine's Day According to monthly Naya Zamana Muslim women's organisation led by Asia Andarabi went around stopping what they thought was Valentine's Day in the Valley. They were confronted by a couple in a restaurant who said they were about to be married and had come to the restaurant because it was their right. Asia retorted that even married couples were not allowed by Islam to celebrate Valentine's Day. American, Iran and Ikhwan are enemies! Daily Mashriq reported the police chief of Dubai as saying that the enemy of the Muslims were America, Iran and Ikhwan al Muslimoon in power in Egypt. Talking to a Kuwaiti paper he said that the region was under threat from the three. Kayani as Salahuddin Ayubi Writing in Jang famous columnist Haroon Rasheed stated that he greatly longed to write books about certain great people he revered and the first among them would be Dr Rafeeq Akhtar of Gujjar Khan known as the spiritual mentor of Imran Khan. Those who came after him as worthy of books authored by Haroon Rasheed were: Tipu Sultan, Jinnah and Salahuddin Ayubi. He said he had once called General Kayani the Salahuddin Ayubi of Pakistan which was not liked by journalist, Ayaz Amir. Brigadier Ali wanted to kill generals Monthly Naya Zamana reported that Hizbut Tahrir member Brigadier Ali Khan had planned to use Air Force planes to attack a corps commanders' meeting at the GHQ and thus kill all the generals in order to establish a Khilafat in Pakistan. Some Muslim civilians were also involved in the plot but all of them were British citizens. Two kinds of storms Writing in Jang Hamid Mir said that there were two kinds of storm (toofan): the first was ones created by Nature and they were genuine against which can be no human resistance. The second kind was invented by the human mind which in fact was turbulence of one mind which some wished to transfer to other minds. This storm was a mental storm and was composed of conspiracies. The first genuine storm was desi (home-made) while the second one was valayati and internationally linked. This valayati storm was not understood but every time it appealed to the people as social revolution it brought on the government of military rule. Afghan Taliban leader killed in custody Reported in monthly Naya Zamana, Afghan Taliban leader Maulana Ubaidullah Akhund was killed in custody in Karachi after being arrested in 2007 from Balochistan. Akhund was army chief of defence under Mullah Umar and belonged to Qandahar. He was released the same year but was rearrested in 2008 and kept in jail in Karachi where he died of heart attack, according to official sources. (Another commander of Mullah Umar - Dadullah - was arrested in 2010 from Sindh.) Sindh Assembly and English Daily Express reported that the Sindh Assembly got hot when one lady MPA Shazia Marri stated that she was offended by the English language used in a draft resolution by an opposition lady MPA named Marvi Rashdi. She told her that her English was wrong and she had no manners. Rashdi responded by saying Marri did not use normal makeup but applied think paint on her face. The speaker had to stop proceedings of the house. Mansoor Ijaz and state agencies Writing in Jang Hamid Mir stated that Mansoor Ijaz was known to him from the past as a plotter against Pakistan but some state agencies were attracted to him despite the fact that he had persuaded Musharraf to declare ceasefire in Kashmir which set the liberation movement against itself and against Pakistan. But those who spoke against Mansoor Ijaz as an enemy of Pakistan were accused by the agencies of being kafir. Wife of Shakeel Afridi dismissed Reported in Monthly Naya Zamana, a health officer with the government Shakeel Afridi was given Congressional Gold Medal for helping the US to get to Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad and kill him. He was a surgeon in Khyber Agency but moved to Abbottabad to conduct fake polio tests. The government in Peshawar moved - after his arrest and subsequent case of treason against him - to dismiss also his wife who was principal of Darra Adamkhel Girls Degree College from her job. From 'farangi' slave to 'Amrikan' slave Quoted in Nawa-e-Waqt leader of JUI Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that the rulers of Pakistan had converted from Pakistan from the slaves of farangi (British) to slaves of America. After that the country was made insecure and the rulers began to loot it through corruption while extending the begging bowl to enemies of Pakistan. Why destroy Osama's house so quickly? Columnist Ishtiaq Beg wrote in Jang that it was perhaps not proper to demolish the house of Osama bin Laden in great haste. Many people may have doubts as to the motives behind the destruction of the house. The place could have been preserved as a school for girls or a public library. But there was also the consideration that the house could become a centre of attention for the lovers of Osama bin Laden. Government hiding facts about Osama Famous historian an ex-Intelligence Bureau officer Dr Safdar Mehmood wrote in Jang that the government will not reveal everything about the residence of Osama bin Laden and the incident of May 2 when the Americans came and killed Osama. Likewise Aimal Kansi was hiding in a remote hotel when the CIA was allowed to pick him up take him to the US and get him sentenced to death.
