India is fourth most dangerous place in the world for women: Poll

Posted by Dr. Manzer Durrani in India on July 25th, 2012

The police beat a woman during an eviction drive in Raipur.

A country headed by a woman President and powerful women as chief ministers in four influential states should have been safest place in the world for women.

On the contrary, India is the fourth most dangerous place in the world for women. A Thomson Reuters Foundation global poll reveals this shocking fact. It’s an unflattering irony for a country where women make it to the top political positions – President Pratibha Patil, Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar, chief ministers Mayawati of Uttar Pradesh, Sheila Dikshit of Delhi, J. Jayalalithaa of Tamil Nadu and Mamata Banerjee of West Bengal, ruling Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj. Yet there are women deprived of their basic right to be born.

The report says the country is worse than war-torn Somalia because of high instances of female foeticide, infanticide and human trafficking.

It is only a little better than war-ravaged Afghanistan and Congo. The African nation is saddled with the ignominious title of “rape capital of the world”. India can, like it always does, take pride in the fact that it is a notch below its arch-rival Pakistan on the shame list. South Asia, as can be deduced from the poll, is the most dangerous region for women.

Evidently, India’s apparent economic progress finds no reflection in the status of its girl child – most of whom are even denied the right to be born.

“This survey shows that hidden dangers like lack of education or terrible access to healthcare are as deadly, if not more so, than physical dangers like rape and murder which usually grab the headlines. In the top five countries, basic human rights are systematically denied to women,” Monique Villa, chief executive of the Thomson Reuters Foundation, said.

The poll conducted among 213 gender experts who ranked countries on their overall perception of danger, as well as by six key categories of risks – health, sexual violence, nonsexual violence, harmful practices rooted in culture, tradition or religion, lack of access to economic resources and human trafficking.

The Thomson Reuters Foundation explained why it ranked India so low on the list. The main reasons were female foeticide, infanticide and human trafficking.  In fact, it quotes the government’s own horrific statistics on trafficking. A CBI report in 2009 says 90 per cent of trafficking took place within the country and there were some three million prostitutes, of whom about 40 per cent were children.

Criticising the government’s response to prevent trafficking of women, who invariably end up in decrepit brothels, Cristi Hegranes of the Global Press Institute said: “The practice is common but lucrative so it goes untouched by government and the police.”

The report goes onto quote the US state department’s 2010 dossier on trafficking, which cites sex slavery, forced labour and forced marriage as crime against women taking place unabated in India and the other countries mentioned on the list. Worst of all, traffickers hardly get caught and punished in India.

The Thomson Reuters Foundation highlights the plight of missing girls in India, citing the UN Population Fund report. It says up to 50 million girls have gone “missing” over the past century because of female infanticide and foeticide.

Human Rights Watch’s South Asia director Meenakshi Ganguly more or less agreed with the report. “It is true that South Asians don’t, in general, value their daughters. This for instance is apparent in the dwindling gender ratio in India. Domestic violence is rampant and various forms of sexual assault often remain an untold horror that women endure,” she said.

Domestic violence, rape, sexual harassment, incest, acid attacks and dowry deaths, gender experts say, are just the tip of the iceberg.

Women continue to have little say over their lives. They have practically no access to finances, land, inheritance rights, education, employment, justice, healthcare and nutrition.

Mona Mehta, leader of Oxfam’s We Can campaign against violence against women in South Asia, said: “It’s not enough to have a law. The implementation needs to be resourced well enough for it to work.”

On Air Marshal Nur Khan (1923-2011)

Posted by Dr. Manzer Durrani in Our Heroes on July 25th, 2012

On Air Marshal Nur Khan (1923-2011)
By Jagan Pillarisetti
Flt Lt with 4 Sqn, 1945
Jagan Pillarisetti is a historian of the Indian Air Force

Much has been written about Air Marshal Malik Nur Khan, who recently passed away in Pakistan on the 15th of December 2011. Pages and pages of tributes have been written about his days as the Chief of Pakistan Air Force during the 1965 War with Pakistan — and rightly so. It is to Nur Khan’s credit (and to his predecessor) that the Pakistani Air Force did well in that war, managing to hold its own against a larger adversary. But very little has been written about Nur Khan from his early days when he was part of the undivided Indian Air Force — and about his time after retirement from the Pakistan Air Force and as the Governor of West Pakistan.

Nur Khan was a highly respected and regarded officer within the IAF before partition. Originally a product of the Royal Indian Military College (now Rashtriya Indian Military College), he was commissioned into the Indian Air Force as a Pilot Officer on 6 Jan 1941. Those were still the days when entrants were given commission on the date they reported to the IAF. He belonged to the 6th Pilots Course (PC). 6PC was unique in that it had other Muslim officers who later formed the backbone of the new PAF. There was Pilot Officer Asghar Khan, who due to his Army service had seniority, and there was M Akhtar and M M A Cheema , all of who would rise to senior positions in the PAF.

After training at the Initial Training Wing at Lahore till May 41, Nur Khan reported for flying training at the Flying Training School in Ambala, completing his flying syllabus by late November 1941. During this time he was flying types like the Westland Wapiti, Hawker Hart and Hawker Audax biplane aircraft.

His first posting after training was to No.3 Squadron at Kohat in December 1941, then equipped with Hawker Audaxes. Over the following year, he would fly proscription sorties in the Miranshah area, dropping leaflets, flying road opening sorties, occasionally undertaking punitive bombing against villages. In October 1942, he was promoted to Flying Officer, along with Asghar, Cheema and Akhtar who happened to be with the same Squadron as well.

Nur Khan stayed with 3 Squadron till mid 1943 at which point he may have been posted for Vengeance Conversion at the Operational Training Unit in Peshawar.

With Flt Cdr Henry Runganadhan
On 8th May 1944, he reported to No.7 Squadron which was at that time operating the Vultee Vengeance Dive bomber under Sqn Ldr Hem Chaudhary. Nur Khan was put in ‘B’ Flight then under the command of Flt Lt Erlic Pinto. (As a matter of interest – the other flight commander in the Squadron was none other than P C Lal, who would go on to command the IAF in 1971). Nur Khan flew his first dive bombing sorties two days later on the 10th. Over the next month Nur Khan flew several missions. However his time on the Burma Front lasted just about a month when the movement orders for 7 Squadron came through. By 12th June 1944, the Squadron found itself relocated to Charra. During this time Nur Khan took over the role of the Squadron Sports Officer. In November 1944, the Squadron converted to the Hurricane fighter bomber. Towards the end of January 1945, Nur Khan was posted to No.9 Squadron, which was then on Hurricanes on the Burma Front.

It was here that Nur Khan honed his flying skills and soon made himself quite famous, sometimes bordering on being a reckless showoff! Air Chief Marshal Idris Latif, who served in 9 Squadron remembers that Nur Khan would show off landing approaches in a Hurricane – while inverted! This involved approaching the runway for landing in inverted position, then at the right moment lower the undercarriage (which in this case would open upwards) and then do a last minute roll before flare out and touch down. Handling a Hurricane in such a regime required utmost confidence and handling skills.

One can easily deduce that Nur Khan was a flying “hog”, never losing an opportunity to fly a new type of aircraft. Even in his last years in the PAF, he ensured that he was upto speed on all new aircraft being inducted, flying such types as the F-6 and the Mirage III.

After less than six months with 9 Squadron, Nur Khan earned his promotion to Flt Lt Rank and was posted to No 4 Squadron RIAF in June 1945. No.4 Squadron was at Yelahanka flying the Spitfire VIII under the command of Sqn Ldr Boyd-Berry. No.4 soon moved to Japan as part of the British Commonwealth Occupation Force in early 1946. In one of the first display flights over Japan, Nur Khan led a formation of Ten Spitfires in the shape of a “4”. His stint as a Flight Commander lasted about 18 months and in November 1946, Nur Khan transferred to the HQ BCAIR (The Air component of the BCOF) as a Staff Officer in the rank of Sqn Ldr. When the Indian component of BCOF wound up in Japan, Independence was around the corner. It was a natural decision for Nur Khan to opt for the Pakistan Air Force.

The rest of his career with the PAF and his long stint with the PIA had been well chronicled, as is his role as PAF chief during the 1965 war with India. Some points however are worth recounting.

When Nur Khan took over command of the PAF in July 1965, he had but two weeks notice about the launch of Operation Gibraltar. He would say later that his staff reacted with disbelief and he was himself perturbed and shocked hearing about the plan from the Army Chief. But he went about “doing as he was told”. He got himself immersed in the business of fighting a war which had flared up as Nur Khan expected. The PAF did well in the war, enough to actually save the Pakistani Army from disaster many times. But the writing was on the wall: Pakistan was ill-equipped to fight a long term war, and Ayub Khan very wisely accepted the ceasefire when it was offered.

The relatively good performance of the PAF masked the actual truth about how close the Pakistan Army had come to running out of gas while fighting. Subsequent chest thumping and propaganda completely overshadowed any effort to take an unbiased and impartial look into how the war was conducted. Nur Khan himself would lament later that an opportunity was lost by not conducting an impartial study. He opined that many things that went wrong later on would have been avoided if there had been a serious study conducted by the Pakistanis.

Nur Khan remained PAF chief well into 1968, and would have served more if not for the transfer of power to General Yahya Khan of the Pakistan Army. Yahya imposed Martial Law and offered Nur Khan the Governorship of West Pakistan. Nur Khan bought into the theory that military rule and martial law was good for the country and took up the offer as the Deputy Martial Law Administrator. Since he could not hold two offices at the same time, Nur Khan resigned his post as the Chief of the PAF and went on to serve six months as the Governor of West Pakistan before resigning in early 1970. If it hadn’t been for the Martial law and the offer of Governorship, he may well have been the air chief during the 71 war (Going by the fact his predecessor served six years at the helm). More importantly he may have had given some sane advice that would have prevented the Pakistani Army from self imploding in 1971.

But from another perspective, it was better for Nur Khan to have retired earlier as he left public service with his stock and reputation still intact. The debacle of 1971 rendered quite a a battering to his successor Air Marshal Rahim Khan.

Perhaps the results of the 1971 war had reshaped Nur Khan’s views on the earlier conflicts. He had come to arrive at the belief that the Pakistani Army chiefs were the root of the problems that Pakistan had faced throughout. He became a strong proponent of the fact that it was Pakistan which instigated the 1965 war and India was merely defending itself (which runs contrary to the thought process of many Pakistanis). In an interview, when prodded if the conflict of 65 was a “decisive class of arms between Hinduism and Islam”, Nur Khan shot down the idea with a curt “I do not believe there were any ideological compulsions behind the war”. His recent interviews with Dawn TV (available on Youtube) re-iterate these view points again and again. One could not but wish that Nur Khan’s views percolate down to the history lessons that common Pakistani students study, which would result in less hostility between the two nations.

While I never knew Nur Khan directly, several IAF officers have expressed high opinions about him over time. Air Chief Marshal Idris Latif’s comment on his flying skills have been mentioned earlier in this column. Another officer – Air Marshal S Raghavendran, who retired as Vice Chief, recently wrote that Nur Khan was one of the two of the greatest pilots & commanders of the undivided Indian Air Force that the IAF lost to partition. The other being Asghar Khan who was also well regarded by the veterans of that time. Such respect from officers of the opposing air force does not come easy.

Watta satta and swara — the cruel practices against women

The Daily Telegraph 2012-03-22: Almost 1,000 Pakistani women and girls were murdered last year in honour killings, according to a new report by the country’s leading human rights group. Too often, said the report, police acted as a ‘coercive force’ against women . Hundreds were killed by their fathers, husbands or brothers, highlighting the frightening scale of violence suffered by women who are frequently treated as second-class citizens and subject to village justice. Many cases are covered up by relatives and sympathetic police officers.

Dr. Zaheer Ahmad Babar

Allah Diwaya Padhar and Jeewan Bakhsh have held a ‘secret’ meeting recently, and after that meeting they both seem very happy. Both are in their late sixties, and friends from their childhood days.
They are from the same tribe and have been living in various parts of Cholistan – sometimes at the same place and sometimes at different – during these long years. Both have large families comprising their sons and daughters and dozens of grandchildren.
Jeewan’s wife passed away about two months back after a protracted illness, while Allah Diwaya’s wife lost her eyesight about three years back. She is more than 18 years older than her husband and is seriously ill these days. Lack of treatment facilities in the desert and disinterest on the part of her husband have virtually left her to die.
They have yet not made public their intentions, but their mutual friends are found discussing the second marriage of Allah Diwaya and Jeewan Bakhsh through “watta satta” (exchange marriage), these days. Allah Diwaya’s youngest daughter, Malookan Mai, is 19-year old, and unmarried, while Jeewan Bakhsh’s 22-year old daughter, Bakhtan Bibi, became a widow two years ago. Continuing with their family traditions, both the family heads have apparently decided to contract new marriages, with each other daughters.
There may not be any protest in either family, as second, third or even fourth marriages are a norm in the region. The practice is not limited to the underdeveloped region of Cholistan, or even Pakistan in that particular case. Watta satta, or exchange marriage, is a form of marriage involving an arranged and reciprocal exchange of spouses between two groups.
Sociologists say exchange marriage is most common in societies that have a unilineal descent system emphasising the male line and a consistent expectation of post-marital residence with or near the groom’s family. Often, as among some Australian Aborigines and American Subarctic peoples, a traditional ideal was for a brother and sister from one family to marry a sister and brother, respectively, from another.
However, marrying off young girls to the men twice or thrice their age, is the worst form of watta satta marriages, being practised in Cholistan and other underdeveloped parts of Pakistan. Nobody ever bothers to ask these young girls what they want. Do they want to marry men of their fathers’ age? The injustice is so deep-rooted that not even women family members question this injustice being committed against their daughters and sisters. In almost all parts of the country, watta satta is continuing in one form or the other. Recently, the national press reported one such incident in Sargodha city.
The Cantonment police registered a case of watta satta underage marriage. A police team raided and arrested some people over the watta satta marriage of two girls on a complaint filed by a non-governmental organisation. The complainant stated that Saima and Saadia (names changed to protect their identity) were 14 and 12 years old, respectively. Saima was being married to Saadia’s brother, Qasim, 30, and Saadia was being married to Saima’s brother Abid Ali, 50.
Under the Muslim Family Law Ordinance of 1961, a girl under the age of 16 is a child whose marriage is illegal. In cases where girls are under 16 years old, the Hanafi school allows the groom and the bride’s father to sign a temporary Nikah contract. The girl cannot be sent to the groom’s house until she has attained the age of 16 years and approved the contract.
According to figures presented at a seminar in Karachi by the Family Planning Association of Pakistan recently, 30 per cent of all marriages in the country are child marriages though the law bars the marriage of a girl under 16 or a boy under 18. Civil society organisations have been demanding major reforms to the law which dates back to 1929.
Mostly the marriages contracted on the basis of watta satta result in severe disputes between the two families. In case of any clash between one couple, the other couple is affected adversely. If one couple ends up in separation in the form of divorce, the other couple has also to separate ultimately, even if both husband and wife do not want to do so. This situation, many a times; results in loss of lives.
Daily Tribune Pakistan recently reported the murder of a girl because of a watta satta marriage. A man shot dead his sister in the federal capital in April 2012 after their marriages of exchange ended in divorces. In the beginning, the family tried to hide the murder by claiming that Hasina Bibi, 22, committed suicide. But the police investigation proved that Sher Ali had shot dead his sister. The man believed that his sister was responsible for not only her own separation from her husband but his separation from his wife. To punish her, Sher Ali shot Hasina Bibi dead.
Like watta satta, there are various other customs and traditions to which Pakistani society is still a slave. Mostly women fall victim to these family traditions. They are discriminated against in pursuance of such customs. Another form of women victimisation prevalent in the country is “vani” or “swara”, giving away of a woman to a rival party to settle a dispute over any issue, from a murder, adultery or abduction to the theft of cattle-heads.
A woman rights advocacy organisation, Rahnuma describes swara as a practice “where a girl is given as an offering to settle a conflict or dispute.” The practice is most common in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa upper and southern Punjab, where it is known as vani.
In 2004, the parliament of Pakistan passed the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act under which amendments were made to the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and the Pakistan Penal Code making swara, vani and similar practices a crime. Section 310A, which covers the matter, was inserted in the PPC and reads: “Whoever gives a female in marriage or otherwise ‘badl-e-sulah’ [in exchange for peace] shall be punished with rigorous imprisonment, which may extend to 10 years but shall not be less than three years.”
Tougher laws and arrests made under the new law had led to people disguising the handing over of a woman or girl. The deal is not announced within the community as a swara or vani marriage, though within the families concerned it is known that the woman has been given away as swara and is treated accordingly.
This is tragic to note that the swara girls are married off to the men who are usually far older than the brides, who are often mere children. These girls are usually treated extremely badly or like slaves in the homes of their in-laws.
In December 2011, parliament passed a series of legislative measures aimed at improving the situation of women. One relevant clause states: “Forcing a woman into marriage for settling a dispute to be a non-bailable offence.”
The superior courts in the country have also taken up the matter with the Peshawar High Court noting that existing laws included in the PPC were insufficient, and directing the KP government to enact a special law to deal with the issue. The court was hearing a case, filed by a plaintiff from Upper Dir district, who said his father and brother had been killed for refusing to hand over his minor sister as swara.
However, it is also a reality that creating awareness and changing mindset of the people is most important to end such cruel practices against women. The making of tougher laws alone could never produced the desired results.

international women s day Has anything changed?…

http://e.thenews.com.pk/newsmag/mag/detail_article.asp?id=1267

You! takes a look at some of the age old rituals and customs being carried out by men against women, that still prevail in some parts of the world…

By Sara Zia Khan

The current state of the world, prima facie is that of educated people; that are progressing in nearly all areas of science, advancing in technology, and getting enlightened when it comes to religion and so on. But if we take a closer look and observe, we will, undoubtedly realise that all this is a facade that we don’t even know we’re putting on. At a second glance we are miserably cruel beings at the mercy of our primitive instincts; upon first signs of danger, we forget all that has been engraved in our minds and resort to bloodshed. In the ancient times, the stronger tribe would kill the weaker tribe’s men, capture their women and exploit them, fast forward a couple of millennia, and the stronger sex is still exploiting the supposedly weaker one. And we come to the question what has changed? Nothing!

In the face of modernism, we witness the ugliest, most heinous crimes being carried out by men against women. Welcome to the new era!

The insane customs

In our country there are still some vicious men who treat their goats better than their women. ‘Karo-kari (honour killing)’, ‘Vani’, ‘Swara’, ‘Wattasatta’, ‘acid throwing’, ‘dowry deaths’ are amongst the most common customs in Pakistan.

Karo-kari is a compound word literally meaning ‘black male’ (Karo) and ‘black female’ (Kari), in metaphoric terms for adulterer and adulteress. It can be defined as acts of murder, in which a woman is killed for her actual or perceived immoral behaviour, such as marital infidelity, refusal to submit to an arranged marriage, demanding a divorce, perceived flirtatious behaviour and rape.

Vani is a child marriage custom in tribal areas of Pakistan and is widely followed in Punjab. This custom is tied to blood feuds among the different tribes and clans where young girls are forcibly married to the members of different clans in exchange of money or in compensation for crimes and settling of disputes.

Swara is similar to Vani in which the accused family gives their girl or girls in marriage to an aggrieved family as ‘compensation’ to settle blood feud.

The level of hypocrisy is such that if a man commits a crime, the women of his family are to be punished. Just recently a man gunned his 55-year-old mother down because he thought she was having an affair. On another occasion, a six-month-old baby girl was married off to a 25-year-old man on the basis of Swara. A 19-year-old bride was set ablaze by her husband and her mother-in-law. Three girls were buried alive by their family. And the list continues. I can mention all the recent crimes that were reported but what would that establish? Despite the media uproar in such issues and NGOs working day and night to educate people in order to cut down on the number of women being abused, more than 11,000 cases have been reported since the end of 2009, showing a subsequent 80 per cent rise in violence against women. And you will be surprised to know that not only illiterate men resort to such punishments but educated men do too. Domestic violence being the most common crime in middle class families, husbands often resort to physically (and mentally) assaulting their wives to vent their frustration out. However, more often than not, these cases go unreported because these families don’t want to ruin their reputations.

How has the nation as a whole progressed when individuals know no humanity? Century old customs of Swara and Vani are still being practiced in the country where various Fashion Weeks are being held and there is a rocking party every Saturday night? Correct me if I am wrong but have we really evolved? Are we really different from our ancestors? Has education, technology and awareness really changed the way we think?

The Indian factor

India is one of the fastest developing countries in the world but when it comes to crimes against women as a whole they are worse than Pakistan. Despite the rapid advancement in the fields of education and technology throughout India during the last decade, the rise in violence against women has remained the same. In the state of Punjab, Bihar, Rajasthan and Haryana more than 34 honour killings were reported during the years 2008-2010. According to Azad India Foundation, as many as 18 women are assaulted in some form or another every hour. Rape, gang rape or any other type of sexual assault is increasing in India by the minute. The country’s capital and by far one of the most developed cities in India; New Delhi is the cauldron of criminal activity.

Satti is a religious funeral practice among some Hindu communities in which a recently widowed Hindu woman either voluntarily or by use of force and coercion would immolate herself on her husband’s funeral pyre. Even though the practice of Satti has been outlawed in India since 1829, still women are being sacrificed in the name of Satti.

A report claims that at least 5000 women die as a result of dowry death per year. If we have, in fact, become modern then why does the size of the dowry given to the bride by her parents matter at all?

Asia, when it comes to women’s rights is eons behind in terms of true progress. Believe it or not, female infanticide, a practice which was carried out during the roman era is still prevailing in India, Japan, China and rural parts of Pakistan. And we think we are developing!

The Dark Continent

Africa is one country in the world where century old customs and practices are still being followed. Poverty, illiteracy and the lack of awareness puts the women of Africa at a greater health risk. The practice of female genital mutilation which is no less than a 100 year old custom is still observed in that part of the world.

Young girls are made to bear the agonising pain of getting their private parts cut off by tin blades, broken glass and even knives in order to make them more beautiful. This practice is directly linked with the concept of making a girl more feminine by cutting the ‘unclean’ parts. It also promotes marital fidelity and a girl has to undergo this process to become a woman. It is still strongly believed that if a girl has not been mutilated, she is not pure and less of a woman. An estimated 92 million girls have undergone this brutal process and it is still being carried out privately. The only thing that has changed is the fact that previously, a mid-wife used to perform this procedure, but now a licensed doctor carries on with this process.

Another practice that is very common in Africa is that of inheriting a wife. When a man dies his widow is supposed to be inherited by the brother or a relative of her deceased husband so that the property remains within the family. Wife inheritance is often portrayed as an act of generosity in which the widow will have a man to ‘look after’ her. Actually, it is the man that is at the gaining end. Not only does he benefit from his inherited wife’s labour and childbearing potential, but he also gets the property that the deceased husband has left behind. According to the supporters of the custom; this helps the woman to avoid promiscuity, and also appeases the spirit of the deceased.

And if women sought separation or divorce, the dowry has to be reimbursed. Often, a woman’s family is unable or unwilling to refund the dowry, and the brothers may abuse her physically forcing her to go back to her husband or in-laws. The fact that the local authorities and the laws are not effective makes Africa a living hell for women.

And these are just some of the countries where violence against women is a common practice. It is also happening in developed countries such as America and the UK.

The question remains that when will all these practices and customs subside? When will men finally start respecting women? Would there be a time when violence directed towards women becomes non-existent?

We are living in a fantasy world where everything seems perfect, but if we probe a little deeper we will see that the very foundation of the world is disintegrating. Modernism is just a term, and in reality we haven’t changed much.

Allah (SWT) in Qu’ran gave Respect to women in Islamic Society

THE IMPORTANCE OF WOMEN

ome people are unaware of the importance and value Islam places upon women. Women who do not know this reality, as well as all people with insufficient knowledge of the Qur’an, try to protect their rights by working within their worldview, which follows the logic of unbelief. Social conditions around the world make this reality very obvious. For example, many women continue to be exposed to ill-treatment, violence, and unemployment, and need to be taken care of after their husbands have either divorced or abandoned them, or have died.

These problems will not be solved until people turn to the only source that can provide true and lasting solutions: the Qur’an. No strategy based upon an unbelieving society’s logic and values will succeed, as Allah reveals:

If the truth were to follow their whims and desires, the heavens and Earth and everyone in them would have been brought to ruin. No indeed! We have given them that by which they are remembered [i.e. their honor, eminence and dignity], but they have turned away from it. (Surat al-Mu’minun: 71)

When people base their lives on the rights and wrongs of their own making, the results will always be disastrous. Everything and everybody is thus destined to continue on its path of degeneration.

Given the persistence of the values based on unbelief, and despite being aware of their troubled lifestyle, unbelievers cannot find a lasting solution to their problems. Thus, they find themselves continuing to turn away from the only path that will lead them to prosperity, even though they are very well aware of it.

The only solution is the Qur’an, which provides the easiest, as well as the most content and beautiful path, by which to live. The only path that can lead toward righteousness is His path, for only it leads to goodness and prosperity. Allah reveals that the Qur’an brings people honor and dignity, and that all who abide by its values and follow this righteous path will find success in everything they undertake.

All true and lasting solutions to women’s problems are found in the Qur’an. Islam, which was revealed to guide humanity to salvation, genuinely values women. Many verses protect women and their rights, for the Qur’an eliminated the prevalent misguided stereotypes of women and gave them a respectable position in society. Our Lord teaches that superiority in His presence is based not on gender, but rather on one’s fear and respect of Allah, faith, good character, devotion, and dedication to Him.

Allah has revealed the steps that women need to take to ensure their protection and respect within society, and for them to find the love and dignity that they deserve. All of these measures benefit women and seek to prevent damage to their interests or any form of oppression and unnecessary stress.

In the next section, we will discuss how the Qur’an ensures that women are treated according to their true value and honor. As Allah has revealed, Islam values all people and brings honor, dignity, and respectability to them in both worlds.

The Only Measure of True Superiority

Unbelievers, whose values differ from those revealed in the Qur’an, lead their lives according to their society’s values, which are the product of their own reasoning and therefore unreliable. In one verse, Allah asks the following question:

Do they, then, seek the judgment of the Time of Ignorance? Who could be better at giving judgment than Allah for people with certainty? (Surat al-Ma’ida: 50)

One of the values based on unbelief is the criteria for superiority. The unbelievers’ criteria for distinction and superiority are derived from such worldly values as property, status, career, fame, or physical attraction. If they cannot meet these criteria, they admire those who can and feel relatively worthless in comparison.

As a result, the details of everyday situations become important when classifying people. For example, some people consider it vital that they live in a posh suburb, have the newest and most desirable car, have parents with very successful careers, and have a desirable profession. Or, they want expensive and designer-label clothing, well-placed relatives, a diploma from the best university, and so on. When choosing their friends, associates, or even their potential spouse, they follow these same criteria.

In many countries, people place great importance upon skin color, the language they speak, or their nationality. In fact, the same criteria for superiority apply to all unbelieving societies, with only some minor differences based upon culture, history, and other factors.

At the root of women’s proper role lie the very same wrong criteria. By applying their society’s misguided tradition and self-made criteria, they continue to treat women as second-class citizens.

Allah, on the other hand, reveals that the best and truest criteria is His. The Qur’an reveals that He has only one criterion: a person’s fear and respect of Him:

O humanity! We created you from a male and female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you might come to know each other. The noblest among you in Allah’s sight is the one who guards against evil [one with the most taqwa]. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. (Surat al-Hujurat: 13)

O Children of Adam! We have sent down clothing to you to conceal your private parts, as well as fine apparel, but the garment of heedfulness-that is best! That is one of Allah’s Signs, so that, hopefully, you will pay heed. (Surat al-A’raf: 26)

In yet another verse, Allah reveals that this fear and respect is the most beneficial quality that they can attain: “Whatever good you do, Allah knows it. Take provision; but the best provision is the fear [and respect] of Allah. So have fear [and respect] of Me, O people of intelligence!” (Surat al-Baqara: 197) Therefore, people should not strive for wealth and property, or fame and status, but rather for the fear and respect of Allah, for only this quality will make them superior and valued in both worlds.

Allah also advises people not to seek wealth, which has become a measure of superiority among people, but to ask for His good will:

Do not covet what Allah has given to some of you in preference to others-men have a portion of what they acquire and women have a portion of what they acquire; but ask Allah for His bounty. Allah has knowledge of all things. (Surat an-Nisa’: 32)

Thus, those who measure superiority in terms of gender, physical strength, or any other value built upon unbelief are making a great mistake. As He says in the Qur’an: “The men and women who give charity and make a good loan to Allah will have it increased for them, and they will have a generous reward” (Surat al-Hadid: 18). This verse reminds people, men as well as women, that only by living according to the morality that He revealed in the Qur’an can they find the true and superior reward.

Men and Women Are Equal

No doubt, every society knows all of the traditional arguments about women’s ideal role and place. Their social status and importance in the family, whether or not they should work, and other social issues have been discussed seemingly forever. For Muslims, these issues were settled by the Qur’an: Men and women are equal. The facts that men and women have different physical builds and that women are generally weaker than men are irrelevant and cannot be used to reduce women’s value.

What truly matters in Islamic morality is not whether someone is male or female, but whether or not he or she is a believer who fears and respects Allah. Each believer is expected to strive to live by the Qur’an’s morality, for the results of this struggle are what Allah values and will measure in the Hereafter. Allah reveals the qualities that all Muslims, male or female, should have:

The men and women of the believers are friends of one another. They command what is right and forbid what is wrong, keep up prayer and give the alms [zakat], and obey Allah and His Messenger. They are the people on whom Allah will have mercy. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. (Surat at-Tawba: 71)

As Allah reveals, all Muslims, regardless of their gender, have the same responsibilities: to worship Allah, live according to the Qur’an’s morality, command good and prevent evil, and abide by the Qur’an’s rules and advice. Allah promises everyone who fears and respects the limits that He has established for humanity that He will give them the ability to distinguish right from wrong:

O you who believe! If you have fear of [and respect] Allah, He will give you discrimination, erase your bad actions, and forgive you. Allah’s favor is indeed immense. (Surat al-Anfal: 29)

One’s gender has no bearing on this, for Allah has given everyone an intellect capable of leading him or her to the right path, reaching the right decisions, and giving the right responses in return for belief and devotion. Therefore, intellect has nothing to do with gender; rather, it has everything to do with one’s devotion, fear, and respect of Allah.

Any man or woman who acts on the impulses of the intellect derived from belief can achieve success in many areas. This depends on their will, motivation, and persistence. Believers never rest on their laurels, for it is part of Islamic morality to always strive to be more intelligent, talented, responsible, and virtuous, as well as to seek to always improve upon their character. Allah reveals that believers pray to Him for a character that will make them role models for those around them:

Those who say: “Our Lord, give us joy in our wives and children, and make us a good example for those who guard against evil.” (Surat al-Furqan: 74)

A Muslim woman who does her best in everything she undertakes and who works to develop an exemplary character and morality, will excel in her society. She will carry out her responsibilities competently, reach the right decisions, find the best solutions, and take the most appropriate actions.

As explained earlier, Islam states that men and women are totally equal. For both of them, it all depends on their ability to exceed what is expected of them by realizing the full potential of their character and personality, and by fulfilling their responsibilities. For this reason, believing women do not struggle for equality with men, but exert themselves in the race to do good, defined in the Qur’an as the effort to win Allah’s good pleasure. For this end, they race to become the person most loved by Allah so that they may win His good pleasure and be the nearest to Him. Allah reveals that these efforts determine the Muslim’s superiority over others in this life as well as in the Hereafter:

Such people are truly racing toward good things, and they are the first to reach them. (Surat al-Mu’minun: 61)

Then We made Our chosen servants inherit the Book. But some of them wrong themselves, some are ambivalent, and some outdo each other in good by Allah’s permission. That is the great favor. (Surah Fatir: 32)

The equality between men and women is also seen in the fact that Allah gives them equal rights in this world:

We made everything on Earth adornment for it so that We could test them to see whose actions are the best. (Surat al-Kahf: 7)

Every soul will taste death. We test you with both good and evil as a trial. And you will be returned to Us. (Surat al-Anbiya’: 35)

In the above verses, Allah reveals that He tests men and women so that they can show who is better. In another verse, He says that He will test men and women with various trials until the day they die, and that those who show patience will be rewarded with His mercy:

We will test you with a certain amount of fear and hunger, as well as loss of wealth, life, and fruits. But give good news to the steadfast. (Surat al-Baqara: 155)

Allah gave each man and woman a fixed number of years, holds them both responsible for their choices, gave them a sense of right and wrong, and made their base instincts and Satan their enemies. And whoever shows strength of character and works for good in the face of these realities here on Earth will receive the best rewards from Allah in both worlds:

I will not let the deeds of any doer among you go to waste, male or female-you are both the same in that respect. Those who have left their homes and were driven from their homes, and [who] suffered harm in My Way and fought and were killed, I will erase their bad actions and admit them into Gardens with rivers flowing under them, as a reward from Allah. The best of all rewards is with Allah. (Surah Al ‘Imran: 195)

He also reminds men and women that no one will be treated unjustly as regards the rewards they are to receive on Earth as well as in the Hereafter: “Anyone who acts rightly, male or female, being a believer, We will give them a good life and will recompense them according to the best of what they did” (Surat an-Nahl: 97).

The Qur’an Addresses Men and Women in the Same Manner

Looking at the Qur’an in general, we see that men and women are addressed in the same manner. This is yet another indication that Allah is concerned only with a person’s true and heart-felt belief and not his or her age or gender. In this respect, the Qur’an addresses men and women together and reminds them that they have the same responsibilities. There are many such verses, among them: “Anyone, male or female, who does right actions and believes, will enter the Garden. They will not be wronged by so much as the tiniest speck”(Surat an-Nisa: 124).

Another verse in which Allah addresses men and women together is given below:

Whoever does an evil act will only be repaid with its equivalent. But whoever acts rightly, male or female, being a believer, such a person will enter the Garden, wherein they will be provided for without any reckoning. (Surah Ghafir: 40)

When revealing things about unbelievers, Allah also addresses them in the same manner. He reveals that unbelievers and hypocrites of both genders will be treated alike. For example:

The men and women of the hypocrites are as bad as one another. They command what is wrong and forbid what is right, and they keep their fists tightly closed. They have forgotten Allah, so He has forgotten them. The hypocrites are deviators. (Surat at-Tawba: 67)

Allah has promised the men and women of the hypocrites and unbelievers the Fire of Hell, remaining in it timelessly, forever. It will suffice them. Allah has cursed them. They will have an everlasting punishment. (Surat at-Tawba: 68)

This was so that Allah might punish hypocritical men and women as well as the associating men and women-those who think bad thoughts about Allah, and turn toward the men and women of the believers. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat al-Ahzab: 73)

And so that He might punish hypocritical men and women as well as associating men and women-those who think bad thoughts about Allah. They will suffer an evil turn of fate. Allah is angry with them, has cursed them, and prepared Hell for them. What an evil destination! (Surat al-Fath: 6)

As these verses make clear, men and women are equal in their trial on Earth as well as in the reward they receive in the Hereafter.

The Value of Mothers

Islamic morality guarantees all people’s social and personal lives and shows them how to live the easiest, most content, and happiest life. This morality prescribes justice, tolerance, compassion, and helpfulness toward all people, regardless of gender, age, and economic status. Irrespective of whom they are dealing with, Muslims are required to always abide by this morality as best they can. Muslims adopt these superior moral characteristics because Allah tells them to do so. As a result, a person’s social status, gender, age, and other such characteristics are irrelevant to them.

Allah states the importance of treating women, especially mothers, well. Parents do their best to give their children a good education, a decent character, and teach them to treat all other people properly. Given that they make many sacrifices, financial or otherwise, for many years, the children are obligated to return their efforts and selfless support with respect and service. Allah reveals this responsibility:

We have instructed man to honor his parents. (Surat al-‘Ankabut: 8)

We have instructed man to be good to his parents. (Surat al-Ahqaf: 15)

Say: “Come, and I will recite to you what your Lord has made forbidden to you: that you do not associate anything with Him, that you be good to your parents, that you do not kill your children because of poverty-We will provide for you and them, that you do not approach indecency-outward or inward, and that you do not kill any person Allah has made inviolate-except with the right to do so. That is what He instructs you to do so that, hopefully, you will use your intellect.” (Surat al-An’am: 151)

The Qur’an also reveals that one must treat parents well and avoid arrogance and pride:

Worship Allah, and do not associate anything with Him. Be good to your parents and relatives, orphans and the very poor, neighbors who are related to you and neighbors who are not related to you, companions and travelers, and your slaves. Allah does not love anyone vain or boastful. (Surat an-Nisa’: 36)

Clearly, Allah advises people to always be tolerant, understanding, compassionate, and respectful toward their parents. He also reminds us of the difficulties that mothers suffer while giving birth and raising their children. For example:

We have instructed man concerning his parents. Bearing him caused his mother great debility, and the period of his weaning was two years: “Give thanks to Me and to your parents. I am your final destination.” (Surah Luqman: 14)

We have instructed man to be good to his parents. His mother bore him with difficulty and, with difficulty, gave birth to him; and his bearing and weaning take thirty months. Then when he achieves his full strength and reaches forty, he says: “My Lord, keep me thankful for the blessing You bestowed on me and on my parents, and keep me acting rightly, pleasing You. Make my descendants righteous. I have repented to You, and I am truly one of the Muslims.” (Surat al-Ahqaf: 15)

Every mother suffers for many months and displays great devotion in order to give birth. As Allah reveals, this is an agonizing process for her. After this period, she adopts a selfless devotion and begins to feed and nurture her child. Allah reminds people of this reality and points out that mothers are very special beings. In addition, He advises people not to forget their parents’ selfless devotion to them and to treat them equally well when they reach old age and become dependent:

Your Lord has decreed that you should worship none but Him, and that you should show kindness to your parents. Whether one or both of them reach old age with you, do not say “Ugh!” to them out of irritation, and do not be harsh with them; rather, speak to them with gentleness and generosity. Take them under your wing, out of mercy, with due humility and say: “O Lord, show mercy to them as they did in looking after me when I was small.” (Surat al-Isra’: 23-24)

As we all know, old age means the loss of physical strength, dynamism, health, and energy. Such people become dependent on other people’s care, protection, and help. Their mental faculties decrease, and they come face to face with memory loss and other problems. Muslims, as required by Allah, treat their elderly parents with compassion, tolerance, understanding, and care.

In the verses cited above, Allah reveals how Muslims should treat their elderly parents. As we see, He forbids Muslims to show even the slightest disrespect toward their parents and commands them to say nice things and treat them gently so that they will have no reason to become upset. As a result, Muslims are very understanding, considerate, and careful with their elderly parents. They do their best to make their parents comfortable and continue to love and respect them. Considering the difficulties and complaints associated with old age, Muslims try to provide for their parents’ needs before being asked to do so. Whatever the circumstances, they are always polite and giving.

Muslims not only provide for their parents’ spiritual and psychological needs, but also do everything to meet their material and financial needs. Allah reveals that parents have rights to their children’s financial assistance:

They will ask you what they should give away. Say: “Any wealth you give away should go to your parents and relatives, orphans and the very poor, and travelers.” Whatever good you do, Allah knows it. (Surat al-Baqara: 215)

Prophet Yusuf’s (as) exemplary treatment of his parents is a perfect example for all people. Following his appointment by the King as treasurer of Egypt, he hosted his parents in the most respectable manner and then expressed his gratitude and devotion to them by seating them on the throne. Allah reveals Yusuf’s (as) behavior:

Then when they entered into Yusuf’s presence, he drew his parents close to him and said: “Enter Egypt safe and sound, if Allah wills.” He raised his parents up onto the throne. The others fell prostrate in front of him. He said: “My father, truly this is now the interpretation of the dream I had. My Lord has made it all come true, and He was kind to me by letting me out of prison and brought you from the desert when Satan had caused dissent between me and my brothers. My Lord is kind to anyone He wills. He is indeed All-Knowing and All-Wise.” (Surah Yusuf: 99-100)

The Qur’an reveals that believers pray for their parents and for Allah’s forgiveness and mercy for them. From some of the verses, we gather that the Prophets made similar prayers. Allah reveals that Prophet Nuh (as) prayed for his parents: “O My Lord, forgive me and my parents and all who enter my house as believers, and all the men and women of the believers. But do not increase the wrongdoers except in ruin” (Surah Nuh: 28).

We understand from the Qur’an that Islamic morality places a great value on parents. Allah makes clear that such character traits are important for all Muslims when they are young as well as when they are old.

However, in certain cases believers are required to disobey their parents. For example:

But if they try to make you associate something with Me about which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. Keep company with them correctly and courteously in this world, but follow the way of him who turns to Me. Then you will return to Me, and I will inform you about the things you did. (Surah Luqman: 15)

Through this verse, Allah advises Muslims to disobey their parents only if the latter choose to rebel against Allah and encourage their children to do the same. But still, as required by Islam’s morality, one must not be disrespectful toward them and must honor their wishes and treat them well.

Women in Married Life

Relationships based on worldly values can degenerate into baseness, as often happens in marriage. When people’s love and respect is based on these values, they can lose these feelings quickly when circumstances change. This is almost inevitable when love, respect, and loyalty depend on one’s beauty, wealth, health, job, or status, for when these temporary and superficial characteristics disappear, so will the other person’s love. Someone who follows such criteria will find no reason to continue to love and honor his or her spouse when the basis for those values is lost.

Belief, fear and respect of Allah, and decency of character are what make love, respect, and loyalty endure. Someone who loves his or her spouse for their belief and character will, in married life, be respectful, loyal, and decent. Losing one’s youth, health, or beauty will not affect the love and consideration among spouses for each other, and neither will losing one’s wealth or social status. They will not cause trouble or discontent to the other person because of their firm belief and fear and respect of Allah, whatever the circumstances. Believers will always be gentle and compassionate, as well as fair and tolerant, for they will consider this to be a responsibility entrusted to them by Allah.

So close is the marital relationship that the Qur’an says of the spouses: “They are clothing for you, and you for them” (Surat al-Baqara: 187). In this verse, Allah reminds people that each spouse has equal responsibilities. The word “clothing” stands for the responsibility of guarding and protecting one another and also suggests that men and women have complementary qualities.

Another verse states the importance of love and compassion in marriage: “Among His Signs is that He created spouses for you of your own kind, so that you might find tranquillity in them. And He has placed affection and compassion between you. There are certainly Signs in that for people who reflect” (Surat ar-Rum: 21). Believers consider their spouses to be gifts that Allah has given into their care, and therefore value one another greatly. They show affection and compassion when their spouse makes a mistake or falls short in some way, and know that behaving according to the Qur’an will help them overcome all difficulties and solve their problems. As a result, marriage helps both spouses find contentment and peace.

With the phrase “you have been intimate with one another” (Surat an-Nisa’: 21), Allah proclaims the closeness and intimacy of married life. The secret of this closeness, intimacy, and valuing of each other is their intention to create an everlasting togetherness that will extend into the Hereafter. True loyalty and love requires this attitude. Since their love is neither selfish nor temporary, but intended to be everlasting, they are completely loyal, close, honest, and intimate with one another.

As we have seen, the Qur’an’s morality forms the basis for a marital relationship based on togetherness, one in which both parties fear and respect Allah and follow His morality. In such a relationship, each person’s loyalty, faithfulness, love, sincerity, tolerance, and modesty complement and support the other person. Such a marriage is stable and long-lasting. The marriages of people without these qualities, on the other hand, are short-lived.

For these reasons, Islam considers marriage to be a comfort for women, for in it she experiences love, respect, loyalty, and faithfulness in the best possible way. She is always respected, valued, and honored. The absence of any pride, superiority complex, and lies enables her to find peace and contentment.

Our Prophet (saas) became a great example for all Muslims in this respect. Allah refers to this reality in the following verse: “You have an excellent model in the Messenger of Allah, for all who put their hope in Allah and the Last Day and remember Allah much” (Surat al-Ahzab: 21). He frequently stated the importance and value of Muslim women, as in this hadith: “The whole world is a provision, and the best object of benefit of the world is the pious woman.”16

In another hadith, he said: “The most perfect believer in faith is the one who is the best of them in good conduct. The best of you is the one among you who treats his wife the best.”17

His impeccable behavior is a role model for all Muslims. In one hadith, he points out the importance of treating married women in the nicest way:

“The best of you is the one who is the best to his wives, and I am the best of you toward my wives.”18

He reminded everyone in a hadith of the importance of valuing women: “Act kindly toward women.”19

Our Prophet (saas), who is a role model for all believers, always treated his wives gently, nicely, and with compassion. Aisha said: “I have never seen a man who was more compassionate to his family members than Muhammad (saas).”20

Being Protective of Women

By proclaiming “We send down in the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers,” (Surat al-Isra’: 82) Allah states that Islamic morality will always direct people toward the good and that the Qur’an’s verses are a mercy for them. These verses, revealed to create contentment and justice among people, guarantee the rights of women in both their social and family lives. And, the verse “We bring you the truth and the best of explanations” (Surat al-Furqan: 33) makes clear the fact that the Qur’an contains all of the knowledge needed to find the value, love, and respect that they deserve in every aspect of their lives.

This is a great mercy, comfort, and gift from Allah for women as well. When people behave according to the Qur’an’s morals, all disputes over the role and place of women in society, as well as the controversy surrounding them in unbelieving societies, will certainly come to an end.

We will now explore some of the verses that guard women’s social rights and reveal their importance and value in Islam’s moral system.

Divorcing Women with Their Consent

The believers’ fear and respect of Allah, as well as their belief, cause them to obey their conscience and the Qur’an’s values at every moment. But for unbelievers, their base instincts and Satan are their guiding influences. Thus, they seek to satisfy their self-interest and their ego instead of acting fairly and nicely. This scenario is often seen when relationships end, such as a marriage based upon financial self-interest.

For these people, divorce means the end of all bonds based on mutual interest, for when these interests no longer exist, there is no longer any reason for them to value or respect the other party. As a result, they see no reason to do anything good for that person, and so move to protect their own interests regardless of the other person’s situation.

Believers display a totally different type of behavior in such circumstances, for their only goal in life is to win Allah’s good pleasure. Fully aware that following the whims of their self-interest or ego displeases Him, they adhere to the Qur’an’s morality and their conscience. Therefore, even in the case of divorce, they treat each other well and with justice.

Allah commands men to divorce their wives in the best possible way: “When you divorce women and they are near the end of their waiting period, then either retain them with correctness and courtesy or release them with correctness and courtesy” (Surat al-Baqara: 231). Pursuing only Allah’s good pleasure, they treat their ex-wives with tolerance, compassion, politeness, respect, and thoughtfulness, thereby continuing their former loving and respectful manner toward each other. Allah reveals the male believers’ correct behavior in such circumstances:

O you who believe! When you marry believing women and then divorce them before you have touched them, there is no waiting period for you to calculate for them, so give them a gift and let them go with kindness. (Surat al-Ahzab: 49)

Guaranteeing Divorced Women’s Financial Security

Allah reveals that a sincere Muslim man must guarantee his ex-wife’s financial security in order to safeguard her continued financial well-being:

Divorced women should receive maintenance given with correctness and courtesy: a duty for all who guard against evil. (Surat al-Baqara: 241)

When determining this amount, a Muslim man must act conscientiously and consider his ex-wife’s social standing and needs. The Qur’an states that:

… Provide for them-He who is wealthy according to his means, and he who is less well off according to his means-a provision to be given with correctness and courtesy: a duty for all good-doers. (Surat al-Baqara: 236)

He who has plenty should spend out of his plenty (to those women he divorces), but he whose provision is restricted should spend from what Allah has given him. Allah does not demand from anyone more than He has given it. Allah will appoint, after difficulty, ease. (Surat at-Talaq: 7)

In other words, Allah holds everyone, without exception, responsible according to their financial means and requires them to pay a suitable maintenance. Some unbelievers consider it a waste of money to pay alimony to their ex-wives, because they neither believe in the Hereafter nor seek Allah’s good pleasure. Since they only wish to safeguard their self-interest, they consider pointless to act selflessly toward someone from whom they are estranged and thus can expect no benefit. For this reason, they seek to avoid this responsibility, at least partially or completely. On the other hand, male believers, as mentioned above, continue to treat their ex-wives well and do what they can to meet their financial needs.

Believers understand that it is not necessarily what they do, but rather what their true intention is, that will win them His good pleasure. This truth is explained in the following words: “Their flesh and blood does not reach Allah, but your heedfulness does reach Him” (Surat al-Hajj: 37). For this reason, a believing man willingly fulfills his responsibilities toward his ex-wife in this respect. However, if she does not wish to receive her due and if she wishes to forego this right, her former husband cannot be held responsible: “Give women their dowry as an outright gift. But if they are happy to give you some of it, make use of it with pleasure and goodwill”(Surat an-Nisa’: 4).

Ex-Wives Retain Their Property

The Qur’an also protects a woman’s interests by stating that she retains what her former husband gave her while they were married: “If you desire to exchange one wife for another and have given your original wife a large amount, do not take any of it. Would you take it by means of slander and outright crime? How could you take it when you have been intimate with one another, and they have made a binding contract with you?” (Surat an-Nisa’: 20-21).

Allah reminds people that believing men must respect the terms of their marriage agreement. One of these terms is that regardless of the amount of property or money that a woman receives from her husband during their marriage, he has no right to take it back after he divorces her. Believing men know this truth, and so do their best to obey this command.

It is not lawful for you to keep anything you have given them, unless a couple fears that they will not remain within Allah’s limits [that He established for humanity]. If you fear that they will not remain within these limits, there is nothing wrong in the wife ransoming herself with some of what she received. These are Allah’s limits [that He established for humanity], so do not overstep them. Those who overstep these limits are wrongdoers. (Surat al-Baqara: 229)

As seen, Islamic morality has a very high opinion of women and seeks to prevent them from suffering any difficulties or hardships. Thus, believing men safeguard the rights of women and are most considerate toward them.

Housing Divorced Women

When it comes to housing an ex-wife, Allah proclaims: “Let them live where you live, according to your means. Do not put pressure on them, so as to harass them. If they are pregnant, maintain them until they give birth. If they are suckling for you, give them their wages and consult together with correctness and courtesy. But if you make things difficult for one another, another woman should do the suckling for you” (Surat at-Talaq: 6). Believing men are required to meet their ex-wives’ every need, both material and otherwise, so that they will not fall upon hard times. First, the ex-wife must be housed until a suitable home can be arranged for her. If she is pregnant, her former husband must cover all of the costs associated with her health and care until she gives birth. What truly matters here is that believing men act in a thoughtful and understanding manner, whatever the circumstances may be, and ensure that the ex-wife’s financial and other needs be met so that she will not experience any hardship. All of these matters must be resolved as prescribed in the Qur’an.

Do Not Inherit Women by Force

Allah has made many recommendations in order to safeguard women’s social rights. For example, He reminds believers:

O you who believe! There is no permission for you to inherit women by force. Nor may you treat them harshly, so that you can make off with part of what you have given them, unless they commit an act of flagrant indecency. Live together with them correctly and courteously. (Surat an-Nisa’: 19)

Safeguarding the Rights of Orphaned Girls

The verse below draws our attention toward the correct treatment of women:

They will consult you concerning women. Say: “Allah advises about them; and also what is recited to you in the Book about orphan girls to whom you do not give the inheritance they are owed, while at the same time desiring to marry them; and also about young children who are denied their rights: that you should act justly with respect to orphans.” Whatever good you do, Allah knows it. (Surat an-Nisa’: 127)

Some unbelievers seek to dispossess those weak and vulnerable people who have no guardian to look after their best interests. One group of such people consists of female orphans who, because of their wealth, are often sought out by greedy men. Allah warns believers about these evil-minded people, reveals their character traits, and commands them to be righteous.

Believers know that Allah is All-Seeing and will call them to account for their actions in the Hereafter. They are aware of the loss awaiting those who cheat and defraud people here or are unjust or merciless to them. Given this reality, they shun all such evil, knowing that a little avarice in this life could lead to eternal suffering in the Hereafter. Therefore, they safeguard the orphan’s interests and do what they can to keep all evil-minded people away from them. Likewise, they strictly honor the rights of any orphan they seek to marry and have no secret plan to acquire her wealth for themselves.

OLYMPICS HISTORY: Nadia Comăneci’s perfect 10

Posted by Dr. Manzer Durrani in Sports on July 23rd, 2012

Nadia Comăneci

What a pleasure to see Nadia Comăneci again, the first Olympic girl gymnast to score a 10. She did so on the uneven bars in the 1976 Summer Olympiad in Montreal. I was entranced by her assured performance. CLICK for a YouTube video. CLICK for her gymnastics record on Wikipedia. What better person could there be to carry the Olympic flame in London? Here she is on top of the North Greenwich Arena with John Amaechi. CLICK for a BBC interview.

In 26 seconds, Nadia Comăneci altered the course of gymnastics history. Flying from the low bar to the high one and back again five different times, Comăneci showed off an artistry that had never been seen before. And when her routine was over – when she stuck the landing after a full flip and a half twist – the judges at the 1976 Summer Olympic Games were left no choice: they had to award her a perfect 10, a score no gymnast had ever earned before.

Was she perfect? She doesn’t believe so, but her routine on the uneven bars was the closest thing to perfection anyone had ever seen, and so a score of the highest merit was in order.

Six more times Comăneci earned perfect scores in those Olympics, each one coming on the uneven bars and balance beam. Her haul: three gold medals (all-around, uneven bars, balance beam), a silver (team) and a bronze (floor).

An unknown Romanian going into the games, 14-year-old Comăneci left Montreal a household name known throughout the world simply as Nadia. Thirty-six years and eight Olympic Games later, her performance remains the standard by which all other female gymnasts are measured.

When an event occurs that that fundamentally changes the dynamics of global geopolitics, there is one question above all others whose answer will most assuredly point to its perpetrators. That question is “Cui bono?”. If those so indicted are in addition found to have had both motive and means then, as they say in the US, it’s pretty much a slam-dunk.

And so it is with the events of 9/11.

Discounting the ‘Official narrative’ as the absurdity it so clearly is, there are just two organisations on the entire planet with the expertise, assets, access and political protection necessary to have both executed 9/11 and effected its cover-up to date (ie the means). Both are Intelligence Agencies – the CIA and Israel’s Mossad – but only one had a compelling motive – Mossad. That motive dovetailed perfectly with the Neocon PNAC agenda, with it’s explicitly stated need for “…a catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor” ^[1] in order to mobilise US public opinion for already planned wars, the effects of which would be to destroy Israel’s enemies.

This article marshals evidence for the proposition that “Israel did it”.

Acknowledgments

The basic structure of this article, together with much of its content is taken from a May 2009 post on the Information Underground forum headed “Israel did 9/11 – All the proof in the world”. ^[2]

Control of World Trade Center Complex

The first step in preparations for the 9/11 attacks was to secure control of the World Trade Centre Complex itself. This was crucial because without complete control, the setting of explosive charges to bring down the towers would be next to impossible without serious risk of discovery.

Four key Zionist Network assets

Larry Silverstein

Frank Lowy

Ronald Lauder

Lewis Eisenberg

Larry Silverstein – Silverstein is a Jewish American businessman from New York. Larry obtained a 99 year lease on the entire world trade center complex on 24 July, 2001. ^[3] The towers were in fact close to worthless, being filled with asbestos, ^[4] yet Silverstein “felt a compelling urge to own them”. Silverstein had breakfast in “Windows on the World” restaurant (located in North Tower 107th Floor) every morning. ^[5] but was absent from this routine meeting on the morning of September the 11th. Silverstein’s two children, who also worked in the WTC, decided to take that day off as well. Larry Silverstein was paid a little over $4.5 Billion in insurance money as a result of the destruction of the WTC complex. ^[6] Silverstein was on personal friendship terms with Zionist media-magnate Rupert Murdoch, former Israeli president & infamous Zionist war criminal Ariel Sharon, as well as Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Silverstein was such good friends with Netanyahu that, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz he would speak with him on the phone every sunday. ^[7]

Video – Where was Larry Silverstein on 9/11?

Frank Lowy ^[8]– Lowy, a Czechoslovakia born Jew, was the owner of Westfield America, one of the biggest shopping mall conglomerates in the world. Lowy leased the shopping concourse area called the Mall at the World Trade Center, made up of approximately 427,000 square feet of retail floor space.

Frank Lowy has an interesting history. He was a member of the Golani Brigade, and fought in the Israeli war of independence. Before this he was a member of Hagganah, a Jewish terrorist organization. He spends three months of the year at his home in Israel and has been described by the Sydney Morning Herald as “a self-made man with a strong interest in the Holocaust and Israeli politics.” He funded and launched the Israeli Institute for National Strategy and Policy, which will “operate within the framework of Tel Aviv University” in Israel. He is also close friends with many top Israeli officials such as Ehud Olmert, Ariel Sharon, Bibi Netanyahu, and Ehud Barak. He was implicated in an Israeli Bank Scandal with Olmert. ^[9] Frank Lowy was not at the WTC on 9/11.

Lewis Eisenberg – Eisenberg was the head of the Port Authority of New York and authorized the lease transfer to Silverstein and Lowy. ^[10] Eisenberg was a large contributor to the Bush-Cheney presidential campaign, as well as a partner in the Jewish bank Goldman-Sachs. Eisenberg has been both a member of the Planning Board of the United Jewish Appeal/United Jewish Federation pro-Israeli government pressure group in the U.S. ^[11]

Ronald Lauder – Billionaire Estée Lauder Cosmetics magnate. He was the chairman of NY Governor George Pataki’s commission on privatization. He is the key individual who lobbied for the privatization of the WTC ^[12] — but he was also instrumental in the successful privatisation of the former Stewart Air Force Base. Oddly, the flight paths of flight 175 and flight 11 converged directly over this airport. Map

Lauder is active in the following organizations:

Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations
Jewish National Fund
World Jewish Congress
American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee
Anti-Defamation League
Jewish Theological Seminary.

Lauder was elected president of the World Jewish Congress on 10 June, 2007.

Lauder founded a school for the Mossad in Herzliya, Israel called the Lauder School of Government Diplomacy and Strategy. He is arguably the key Sayan in the preparation of 9/11.

WTC Security In Zionist Hands

Jules Kroll

Jeremy Kroll

The second crucial aspect of control was that of security for the WTC complex. This was was required to provide unquestioned access to strategic areas of the buildings for the purposes of rigging explosives in the period prior to the attacks.

The contract to run security at the WTC was awarded to Kroll Associates after the 1993 WTC bombing. Kroll is otherwise known as “Wallstreet’s CIA”. The contract was awarded by The Port Authority of New York and $2.5 million was paid to them to revamp security at the complex. The owners of Kroll were two Zionist Jews named Jules & Jeremy Kroll.

The managing director of Kroll at the time was Jerome M. Hauer.

Jerome Hauer

Hauer was also the person chosen to run Mayor Rudy Guiliani’s office of emergency management (OEM) from 1996 to 2000. He is the key individual that pushed for this office to be placed in Silverstein’s WTC Building 7 (ie the third tall building to collapse on 9/11).

Jerome Hauer is also Jewish and a staunch Zionist. Hauer’s mother, Rose Muscatine Hauer, is the retired Dean of the Beth Israel School of Nursing and the Honorary President of the New York Chapter of Hadassah, the Daughters of Zion movement that is one of the central Zionist organizations involved in the creation and support of the State of Israel.

Pre-Knowledge of Anthrax Mailings

It was Jerome Hauer who advised the White House staff to start taking “CIPRO” – the anti-biotic effective against Anthrax – a week prior to the Anthrax mailings attack^[13]

Hauer is an ‘expert’ in Bio-Terrorism and was the one who was in charge of the NIH response to the anthrax attacks. His reactions to the anthrax mailings were, at best, slow and he took every opportunity to invoke “Osama Bin Laden” in the rhetoric he employed in his public utterances about them.

Who Killed John O’Neil?

John O’Neil

Former special agent FBI, John O’Neil, who coincidentally had previously been tasked with investigating Bin Laden, was hired as head of security at the WTC complex by Jerome Hauer. Amazingly, O’Neil was killed on his FIRST day of work – 9/11.

It is important to note that O’Neil had quit his job at the FBI after his investigation into the U.S.S. Cole attack in Yemen had been obstructed & sabotaged by U.S ambassador to Yemen, Zionist Barbara Bodine. This is because the U.S.S. Cole attack was likely NOT carried out by Al Qaeda. The ship was hit by an Israeli cruise missile ^[14] to sway public opinion against the Arabs (Al Qaeda), as well as to demonize the Democrats who were not taking threats of terrorism seriously. The upshot was that a compliant George Bush Jr. was propelled into office in time for 9/11. All this was buried in complex bureaucratic obfuscation.

Airport Security In Israeli Hands

The third crucial aspect of control to be established was that of security at all of the airports from which the hijacking flights would originate. Passenger screening needed to be handled by controlled operatives so as to allow certain people and items (i.e. weapons) onto the planes.

The company that ran airport security at all three airports where the alleged hijackings originated was Huntsleigh USA a wholly owned subsidiary of ICTS International and owned by Ezra Harel and Menachem Atzmon – both Israeli Jews.

The company was run by “experts” in the security and intelligence field – Israeli intelligence that is. Most employees were ex- Shin Bet agents. It is not credible that this company, which ran security at both Boston Logan and Newark airports, was so slipshod as to allow 19 Arabs to board 4 different planes with box-cutters, mace, and even a gun.

Menachem Atzmon, former Likud treasurer in the 80’s, together with Ehud Olmert and other Likudniks was involved in an Israeli political scandal. He was convicted of fraud, falsifying documents, and breaching Party Funding Law.

Richard Reid. The “Shoe-bomber”

The “Underwear Bomber”

ICTS was also in charge of airport security when the shoe bomber, Richard Reid boarded a plane with, allegedly, a shoe bomb. If Reid were really a terrorist rather than a Mossad Patsy, then ICTS would not have allowed him board the plane.

Another point indicating ICTS’s complicity is that a few hours before the Patriot Act was voted onto the statute book, it was edited to make foreign companies in charge of security on 9/11, immune to lawsuits. This effectively prevents American courts from demanding that ICTS provide testimony or hand over surveillance videos from the airports.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (also referred to as “Underwear Bomber) is a Muslim Nigerian citizen and alleged terrorist who attempted to detonate plastic explosives hidden in his underwear on board of Northwest Airlines Flight 253, en route from Amsterdam to Detroit, Michigan, on Christmas Day December 25, 2009. Abdulmutallab boarded the US bound plane from Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. Kurt Haskell, an attorney from Michigan, also boarded the same flight and he recalls seeing Abdulmutallab and another “sharp dressed” Indian looking man who helped Abdulmutallab board the flight. Haskell claims that Abdulmutallab boarded the flight without a passport. The security at the Schiphol Airport is also handled by the Israeli-owned ICTS International.

Prior Knowledge

Gomel Chesed Cemetery Incident

Gomel Chesed Cemetary

In October 2000, approximately 11 months before 9/11, a retired Israeli Defense Forces(IDF) officer, and veteran of the Yom Kippur War(1973), was collecting English Ivy Cuttings at the Gomel Chesed Cemetery located at McClellan and 245 Mount Olive Avenue, which is near the city lines of Elizabeth and Newark, New Jersey. The Gomel Chesed Cemetery is a Jewish cemetery.

The man overheard a conversation spoken in Hebrew, which drew his attention. He hid behind an 8-foot tall retaining wall and listened in to their conversation as they stood below. Shortly after a Lincoln town car approached the two people and the man in the backseat got out to greet them. After normal niceties were exchanged the third man said:

“The Americans will learn what it is to live with terrorists after the planes hit the twins in September.”

One of the men that had been leaning against the retaining wall expressed concerns that the upcoming presidential election (November 2000) might impact the plans. The man that arrived in the Town Car quelled the doubts by saying:

“Don’t worry, we have people in high places and no matter who gets elected, they will take care of everything.”

The observer who overheard this conversation related it to the FBI on numerous occasions only to be ignored each time. Nothing was done about it, and no investigation into the incident has ever taken place.

Israeli Citizens Get Tipped Off

Odigo logo

Israeli instant messaging company, Odigo, admitted that two of its employees received instant messages warning of an impeding attack 2 hours prior to the first plane hitting. This warning was NOT passed on to the authorities.

Odigo had a feature on its service that allowed the passing on of messages through a search feature based on nationality. Knowing these two particular Israelis were forewarned, it is possible – even likely – that they passed the message on to other Israelis. This is especially so considering that, out of the 4000 Israelis believed to have worked in and around the WTC and the Pentagon only FIVE died. 5/4000 Israelis. Statistically, with no forewarning about 10% (ie 400 of 4000) would have died; a toll as low as 200-300/4000 would not convincingly indicate foreknowledge. But only FIVE Israelis died and two of the five were aboard the allegedly hijacked flights; thus only three Israelis died in the WTC itself on 9/11 – An astonishing statistic!. NB – this applies to Israeli nationals, NOT American Jews. Many Jews died in the WTC on 9/11.

Odigo has offices in New York, and in Herzliya, Israel. Herzliya also happens to be the home of the Mossad Headquarters.

Odigo was later acquired by another Israeli company called Comverse. The CEO of Comverse was Kobi Alexander, “dual” Israeli-US citizen, with connections to Mossad. He has been charged on several counts of fraud.

Anomalous trading in the Securities Markets

There are about 30 separate reports of anomalous securities/derivatives dealings in currencies, precious metals, insurance companies and airlines, listed on the History Commons 9/11 Timeline, ^[15] that indicate foreknowledge of the attacks.

Other forewarnings

On Sep 10, 2001, the Tokyo branch of Goldman Sachs warned its American employees to steer clear of American buildings.
ZIM, an Israeli company, vacated its office (10,000 square feet) in the North WTC tower a week before 9/11, breaking its lease. 49% of this company is owned by the Israeli government. The lease ran till the end of 2001, and it cost the company $50,000 to break it early. Later, FBI agent Michael Dick, who was investigating Israeli spying before and after 9/11 and looking into the suspicious move, was removed from his duties by the then head of the Justice Department’s criminal division, Michael Chertoff, another Jew and staunch supporter of Zionism.

According to a non-official cover (NOC) CIA source who worked closely with Dick, the ‘Israeli movers’ moved in explosives when ZIM moved out. With ZIM Israel bailing out just in time, this left one Israeli company, Clearforest with 19 employees, in the WTC on 9/11. Of the five employees in the building all managed to escape.

Mossad connections

U.S. Army Study: On Mossad

Mossad seal

In 2001, an elite US Army study center devised a plan for enforcing a major Israeli-Palestinian peace accord that would require about 20,000 well-armed troops stationed throughout Israel and a newly created Palestinian state. The report attempts to predict events in the first year of a peace-enforcement operation, and sees possible dangers for U.S. troops from both sides. Of the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, the US army officers say:“Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning. Has capability to target U.S. forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act.”

The amazing thing about this is that this story was reported in the Washington Post on September 10, 2001. ^[16]

Israeli espionage around 9/11

Shortly before 9/11, over 140 Israelis had been arrested for suspected espionage. Some of them were posing as Art students. These suspects targeted or penetrated Military bases, DEA, FBI, Secret Service, ATF, U.S. Customs, IRS, INS, EPA, Interior Dept., U.S. Marshal’s Service, various US Attorneys Offices, Secret government offices Unlisted private homes of law enforcement/intelligence officers. Most of the suspects served in military intelligence, electronic surveillance intercept and or explosive ordinance units.

Dozens of Israelis were arrested in American malls kiosks selling toys, acting as a front for a spying operation.

60 detained suspects worked for the Israeli company AMDOCS which provides most directory assistance calls and most call records and billings services for the U.S. by virtue of its contracts with the 25 largest telephone companies in the U.S.

All alleged 9/11 hijackers had fake IDs. During a joint FBI-CIA operation against the alleged lead hijacker Mohammad Atta in Fort Lee, NJ in 2001, the operation was photographed by Israeli agents and thereby compromised. These Jews were arguably providing cover for the future patsy hijacker teams.

After 9/11 – More detentions of Israelis

Following 9/11, over 60 Israelis were detained either under the Patriot anti-Terrorism Act or for immigration violations. Some of them were active Israeli military personnel. A number of them failed polygraph examinations when questioned for surveillance activities against the US Some of them were found to have been spying on Arabs.

Five Dancing Israelis

3 of the 5 “Dancing Israelis” on Israeli TV

Of the 90 or so detained Israelis there was a group of five Israelis, now widely known as the “dancing Israelis”, who were spotted in multiple locations filming, and celebrating the attacks.

The men were detained by NYPD. The police and FBI field agents became suspicious when they found maps of the city with certain places highlighted, box cutters (the same items that the hijackers allegedly used), $4,700 cash stuffed in a sock, and foreign passports. Police also told a New Jersey local paper, The Bergen Record, that bomb sniffing dogs were brought to the van and that they reacted as if they had smelled explosives.

Their names were Sivan & Paul Kurzberg, Yaron Schmuel, Oded Ellner & Omer Marmari.

“We are not your problem”?

According to ABC News 20/20, after these five Israelis were detained, the driver of the van – Sivan Kurzberg – told the officers: “We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem.”

They later appeared on an Israeli talk show and claimed that they were in NYC that morning “to document the event”. Witnesses reported they had set cameras PRIOR to the first plane strike, and were seen congratulating one another afterward. The five jubilant Israelis were also seen photographing one another. The FBI seized and developed their photos, one of which shows Sivan Kurzberg flicking a cigarette lighter in front of the smoldering ruins in an apparently celebratory gesture.

Truck Bomb Destined for George Washington Bridge

The Jerusalem Post later reported that a white van containing a bomb was stopped as it approached the George Washington Bridge, but the ethnicity of the suspects was not revealed. This what the Jerusalem Post reported on September 12, 2001:

American security services overnight stopped a car bomb on the George Washington Bridge. The van, packed with explosives, was stopped on an approach ramp to the bridge. Authorities suspect the terrorists intended to blow up the main crossing between New Jersey and New York, Army Radio reported.

Video – 911 Explosive laden van 2-3 arrests

Mural Van

One of the more bizarre events of the day came in the form of a mysterious white van parked a few blocks away from the twin towers on 6th and King Street, that had a mural painted on the side that depicted a jetliner crashing into the twin towers and exploding.

This police audio transmission indicates that the two suspects in the van started to run away when the van was stopped and were apprehended shortly thereafter in some sort of struggle. The police recording also indicates that the mural van subjext to a controlled explosion following detainment of the two suspects.

Video – 911 Mural Van NYPD Recording

Further corroboration of this incident came in the form of a reference in the February 2006 Norman Y. Mineta International Institute for Surface Transportation Policy Studies (MTI) report entitled: “Saving City Lifelines: Lessons Learned in the 9-11 Terrorist Attacks”. The relevant quote is as follows:

“There were continuing moments of alarm. A panel truck with a painting of a plane flying into the World Trade Center was stopped near the temporary command post. It proved to be rented to a group of ethnic Middle Eastern people who did not speak English. Fearing that it might be a truck bomb, the NYPD immediately evacuated the area, called out the bomb squad, and detained the occupants until a thorough search was made. The vehicle was found to be an innocent delivery truck.”

The report is a whitewash but nonetheless credible evidence of the existence of the mural-painted van. Apparently the people who wrote this didn’t find it odd that a delivery truck rented to “ethnic middle easterners” was painted up with a mural depicting the very events of the day! The police transmission speaks of an explosion yet this report mentions none. It safe to assume that the “ethnic middle easterners” referenced in the quote were not Arabs, because had they been, it would have been front page news. The incident was not mentioned in any official government reports. Official handling of the incident provides strong indication that these “ethnic middle easterners” were in fact Israelis.

Urban Moving Systems

All of the white vans belonged to the company “Urban Moving Systems” under the direction of Dominic Suter, an Israeli Spy who immediately fled to Israel after the attacks. It was confirmed by two former CIA officers that this Israeli company was a front operation for the Mossad. The two CIA sources noted that movers vans are a common intelligence cover. The Israelis were held in custody for 71 days before being quietly released.

Israeli Intelligence and P-tech

Ptech Software systems – computer control backdoor

Michael Goff

Most computerized systems likely to have been involved in jet-fighter scrambling decisions on 9/11 were running Ptech software. A list of Ptech clients includes the FAA, N.A.T.O, United States Armed Forces, Congress, Dept. Of Energy, Dept. of Justice, FBI, Customs, the IRS, the Secret Service, and even the White House.

Zionist Jew Michael S. Goff was marketing manager at Ptech and also worked for Israeli database company Guardium (Director Amit Yoran); Guardium has been funded by Cedar Fund, Veritas Venture Partners, and StageOne, all Mossad funding outfits.

So, with Ptech, what we had was an American “sayan” (i.e. Jewish agent who works for the Mossad when needed), Michael S. Goff, with Mossad agents feeding him information and directing him while he worked with his Lebanese Muslim “partners” in Ptech.

Why would a young American lawyer working with a good law firm (Sedar & Chandler) in his home town suddenly leave the practice of law and work with a dodgy start-up software company owned and financed by a Lebanese and a Saudi? Goff’s family is a respected and well-known family in Worcester, Mass. He was established at a good law firm after leaving law school.

Under Goff, Ptech software – loaded with trapdoors and Trojan Horses – was sold and loaded onto the MOST sensitive computer systems. The same computer systems that failed miserably – or performed well, depending on your view – on 11 September 2001.

Goff’s father and grandfather were both accountants who belonged to Worcester’s “Commonwealth Lodge 600 of B’nai B’rith”. They were both 32nd Degree Masons.

MITRE corporation (computer software)

MITRE – major defense contracting organization headed by former Director of Central Intelligence James Schlesinger. It has been said that Schlesinger is a devout Lutheran, but his Wikipedia profile states he was born to Russian/Austrian Jewish parents and is therefore undoubtedly a Zionist.

Ptech, along with the MITRE corporation, occupied the basement of the FAA for two years prior to 9/11. Their specific job was to look at interoperability issues between the FAA, NORAD and the US Air Force during an emergency.

Precision guided plane?

The first plane to hit the WTC (North Tower) hit the computer room of Marsh & McClennan, which had recently acquired Kroll Associates, which was owned by son of AIG CEO Maurice Greenberg & Jules Kroll.

Rabbi Dov Zakheim and Systems Planning Corporation

Dov Zakheim

Many researchers believe that the planes which struck the twin towers were precision guided by remote control. Although science fiction-sounding at first blush, remote control technology of airplanes has been around for decades. SPC Corporation provided the flight termination system and command transmitter system, the technology that allows planes to be remote controlled should the pilots be incapacitated or the plane hijacked.

Rabbi Dov Zakheim was the appointed Undersecretary of Defense and Comptroller from 2001 to 2004 under the George W. Bush administration. Zakheim is the man responsible for the disappearance of $2.6 TRILLION that went missing from the Pentagon books which was announced by Donald Rumsfeld on 10th September, 2001. The story was buried under 9/11’s rubble.

The specific section of the Pentagon that was “hit” or “blown up” contained the years budgetary information, as well as accountants, bookkeepers and budget analysts; many of whom died on 9/11.

In May 2001, when Zakheim served at the Pentagon, it was an SPS (his firm’s) subsidiary, Tridata Corporation, that oversaw the investigation of the first “terrorist” attack on the World Trade Center in 1993. This would have given them intimate knowledge of the security systems and structural blueprints of the buildings complex.

According to the SPC website, a recent customer at that time was Eglin AFB, located in Florida. Eglin is very near another Air Force base in Florida-MacDill AFB, where Dov Zakheim contracted to send at least 32 Boeing 767 aircraft, as part of the Boeing /Pentagon tanker lease agreement.

Considering his access to Boeing 767 tankers, remote control flight systems, and his published views in the PNAC document, it seems likely he is in fact a key figure in the 9/11 terrorist attacks

The US Military Knows Israel did it

This video is overlaid onto the soundtrack of a March 2010 interview by Gordon Duff with Dr Alan Zabrosky, Jewish former Director of Studies at the US army War College. Sabrosky makes a case, not just for a coverup of 9/11 but goes much further. He points out as do so many that the physics of the attack are unworkable. He, however, is one of the few to point to a conclusion many find obvious but few have the nerve to admit, that it would have been impossible to stage 9/11 without the full resources of both the CIA and Mossad and that 9/11 served the core interests of both agencies.

Sabrosky also makes a point involving media coverage of 9/11:

Finally, we need to take a hard look at why the mainstream media (MSM) have paid more attention to Sarah Palin’s wardrobe than they have to dissecting blatant falsehoods, discrepancies and inconsistencies in the US Government’s treatment of 9/11 and its aftermath.

Zionism and Treason

The inescapable point isn’t the 60,000 Americans killed or wounded in a war started out of treason or the world it threatens to destroy. Americans have been looking away from these glaring realities the way they looked away from Vietnam. Sabrosky leaves Israel and her American Jewish supporters who he sees as traitors with a warning:

If these Americans and those like them ever fully understand just how much of their suffering — and the suffering we have inflicted on others — is properly laid on the doorsteps of Israel and its advocates in America, they will sweep aside those in politics, the press and the pulpits alike whose lies and disloyalty brought this about and concealed it from them. They may well leave Israel looking like Carthage after the Romans finished with it. It will be Israel’s own great fault.

Do we take Sabrosky seriously because he is a Marine or a Jew? Do we wonder why the things he says reach so few? Is America in a shooting war where its biggest enemy sits behind it, killing its people, robbing it blind and whispering gently how much it is loved?

It would seem so.

Cover Up

9/11 Investigation in Zionist Hands

Judge Alvin Hellerstein

Judge Michael B Mukasey

Michael Chertoff. Head of Justice Dept Criminal Division

Kenneth Feinberg. I/C Victims compensation fund

Sheila Birnbaum. Legal disputes mediator

Ben Chertoff – Popular Mechanics Debunking article

Stehen Cauffman

Immediately following the 11 September attacks, the Zionist network was methodically maneuvering behind the scenes to quash any legitimate investigation that might reveal what really happened that day. They made it their goal to control any and all angles of so called “investigation” so that they could quickly cover up any and all evidence pointing to Zionist involvement

All appointed chief judges were Zionist Jews:

Alvin K. Hellerstein – a judge for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and has been involved in several high-profile 9/11 related cases including consolidated master case against three airlines, ICTS International NV and Pinkerton’s airport security firms, the World Trade Center owners, and Boeing Co., the aircraft manufacturer. Hellerstein is a dedicated Zionist and Israeli nationalist who has ties to the Jewish mafia dating back to 1956. Hellerstein’s wife is a former senior officer & current treasurer of AMIT. From its website it states: “Founded in 1925, AMIT is the world’s leading supporter of religious Zionist education and social services for Israel’s children and youth, nurturing and educating Israeli children to become productive, contributing members of society.”

Michael B. Mukasey – This Orthodox Jewish judge oversaw the litigation between Larry Silverstein and insurance companies after 9/11. Silverstein was awarded billions. Mukasey prevented full inquiry into the Five Dancing Israelis incident who were arrested in connection with 9/11. He played a role in their release. He was later appointed attorney general by President Bush. He defended the patriot act, and he supports torture policies.

Michael Chertoff – In charge of the Criminal Division in the Justice Department on 9/11. Essentially responsible for the 9/11 NON-investigation. He let hundreds of Israeli spies who were arrested prior to and on 9/11 go back home to Israel. He was also a prosecuting judge in the first terrorist attack on the WTC in 1993. Chertoff purportedly holds dual citizenship with the US and Israel. His family is one of the founding families of the state of Israel and his mother was one of the first ever agents of the Mossad, Israel’s spy agency. His father and uncle are ordained rabbis and teachers of the Talmud.

Kenneth Feinberg – set up the victim’s compensation fund ($7 billion); controlled by a Zionist cabal, it managed to get 97% of the victims’ families to take money in exchange for dropping demands a legal investigation of 9/11.

Sheila Birnbaum – Another key Zionist involved in the cover-up of 9/11 is Sheila Birnbaum of Skaddan, Arps law firm. Birnbaum was appointed ‘special mediator’ of the legal suits filed by the 3% of families who decided not to be bought off. Nothing of significance has happened with these claims since.

Benjamin Chertoff – (cousin of Michael Chertoff) – Ben wrote the 9/11 hit piece in Popular Mechanics claiming to “debunk 9/11 conspiracy theories”. His use of ridiculous straw-man arguments largely discredits the piece though it is still widely quoted by defenders of ‘the official narrative’. He claims his relation to Michael Chertoff is “distant” but Chris Bollyn proves otherwise.

Stephen Cauffman – Leader of NIST investigations which in total amount to a systematic coverup of the WTC 7 collapse. The NIST position remains that fire, together with minor damage caused by ‘ejected debris’ from the collapse of the North Tower situated a block away with WTC building 8 in between, brought down WTC building 7.

9/11 Commission: Zionist controlled

Philip Zelikow. 9/11 Commission Executive Director

Philip Zelikow (Dual Citizen US / Israel) – 9/11 Commission Gatekeeper

Zelikow was appointed the executive director of the 9/11 commission – the most powerful position of the committee. This Zionist Jew is responsible for concocting the contrived fiction that was presented as the 9/11 Commission Report – official narrative. The report contains hundreds of glaring anomalies, contradictions, omissions and downright falsehoods. It even manages to omit any reference at all to the collapse of Building 7 at 5:20 pm.

Initially Henry Kissenger was appointed as executive director but surrendered the post after enormous protest. This paved the way for Zionist operative Zelikow to take the helm. Zelikow has numerous conflicts of interest that clearly inhibited his ability to tell the truth to the American people about the 9/11 terror attacks.

Zelikow was a Bush Admin insider, having been on the transition team in early 2000. In 1989-91 Zelikow worked with Condoleezza Rice on the National Security Council for the Bush Sr. Administration. In 1995, Zelikow and Rice wrote a book together. From 1996-98 Zelikow is director of the Aspen Strategy Group which also included people such as Condoleezza Rice, Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz as fellow members. After George W. Bush took office, Zelikow was named to a position on the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board [PFIAB], and worked on other Administration task forces and commissions. Zelikow position on the Commission made him its ‘Gatekeeper” enabling him to decide which topics would or would not be investigated. He was also secretly in contact with one of Bush’s close advisors – Karl Rove – throughout the gestation of the Commission Report.

Crime Scene Evidence Quickly Removed and Destroyed

SIMS Logo

Alan D. Ratner’s Metals Management and the SIMS group was made responsible for quickly scooping up the WTC steel/debris and shipping it off to Asian smelters. Alan Ratner is Jewish. Ratner merged with the SIMS group and the Hugo Neu corporation and they made a handsome profit. Ratner sold over 50,000 tons of crime scene evidence steel to a Chinese company at $120 per ton. Ratner had obtained it for $70 per ton. He not only destroyed evidence from one of the biggest crime scenes in history, he made a vast profit doing so.

Zionist Jews in all the Right Positions!

It should be noted that Jews were extremely over-represented in the Bush Administration. An ethnic minority group which comprises just 2% of the American population had 42 of its people in top positions in Bush’s cabinet. This extreme over-representation of Zionist Jews illustrates the extent of their control of the American government at the time of 9/11. Absent involvement by many of the key Zionist personalities detailed here, 9/11 could not have happened.

Rabbi Dov Zakheim – Co-author of the PNAC paper on rebuilding America’s defenses advocating the necessity of a Pearl Harbor-like incident to mobilize America. Served as Pentagon comptroller from May 4, 2001 to March 10, 2004. Two large sums of money disappeared from the Pentagon on his watch. In the beginning $2.3 trillion was reported missing by Donald Rumsfeld (September 10, 2001) and later Zakheim was unable to account for another trillion. Zakheim also had flights of American F-15s and F-16s sold as surplus to Israel at a fraction of their value.

Michael Chertoff – Assistant attorney general for the criminal division of the Justice Department; later, Director of Homeland Security. His wife, Meryll Chertoff, was a regional director of the ADL. His mother was a flight attendant for El Al and thus had involvement with Mossad. His father and uncle are Rabbis.

Richard Perle – Chairman of Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board. He was expelled from Sen. Henry Jackson’s office in the 1970s after the NSA caught him passing highly classified documents to Israel.

Paul Wolfowitz – Was Deputy Defense Secretary and a member of the Defense Policy Board in the Pentagon.

Douglas Feith – Headed reconstruction in Iraq. Effectively in command, with Wolfowitz, of the War Department on 9-11; Undersecretary of War for Policy. Fired from National Security Council in 1976 on suspicion of passing classified documents to Israel. “Dual Citizen” of US-Israel. Douglas Feith created the “Office of Special Plans” shortly after 9/11 which was where all of the fake intelligence accusing Iraq of developing WMD’s and having ties to Al Qaida came from.

Eliot Abrams – Key National Security Council Advisor. Associated with criminal Zionist / Pro-Israel think-tanks: AEI, PNAC, CSP, and JINSA. Closely associated with other criminal Jews Perle, Feith, Wolfowtiz, and Bill Kristol. Convicted of lying to congress in the Iran/Contra Affair but was later given a pardon by Bush.

Marc Grossman – Under Secretary for Political Affairs on 9-11; met with General Mahmoud Ahmad, head of Pakistan’s ISI and 9-11 financier, on or shortly after 9-11; “dual citizen” of US and Israel

Ari Fleischer — White House spokesman for Bush on 9-11; Harlined Iraq WMD lies to the press; “dual citizen” of US and Israel; connected to the extremist group called the Chabad Lubavitch Hasidics

Who was on board flight 11?

Daniel Lewin

Daniel Lewin: Lewin, an Israeli Jew, was confirmed to be a member of the special Israeli commando unit, the Sayeret Matkal, which specializes in “anti-hijack” takeovers and assassinations. The official narrative has it that Lewin got involved in a struggle with one of the alleged hijackers and ended up getting shot, which was later revised to being stabbed.

The suggestion here is not that Lewin was on a suicide mission and flew into the towers; rather that he landed the plane at Stewart Airport where it was swapped for a remote control drone. Stewart Airport was the “privatized” airport where the flight-paths of the alleged planes that hit the twin towers, oddly converged.

Bush Speech Writers Grossly Inflate Number of Israeli Casualties

David Frum

On 20 September, 2001, in his address to the Joint Session of Congress following the 9/11 attacks, Bush grossly inflated the number of Israeli casualties in the attacks from 5 to 130.

Who was Bush’s Speechwriter?

David Frum: This Zionist personality was Bush’s Speechwriter at the time and is the one responsible for inflating the number of Israeli dead to 26x the actual number. Why did he do this? Because he’s a Zionist and was attempting to garner sympathy for Israel and project them as a ‘great ally’ of the United States who were now ‘partners’ in this global fight against “terrorism”.

Frum is also the man behind the “Axis Of Evil” label.

He also co-authored a book with Zionist Richard Perle, entitled “An End To Evil: How To Win The War On Terror”, about the “Global War On Terror”; it defends the illegal and fraudulent invasion of Iraq and calls for regime change in Iran & Syria.

Mohammed Atta Leads Us Directly To Jewish Crime Network Doorstep

Jack Abromoff

Less than one week before 9/11 several of the hijacker ‘patsies’, including Atta, boarded a Sun Cruz Casino Boat in Florida. Nobody knows why, and it has never been investigated.

Jack Abramoff: owned these casino boats. A Zionist Jew, he entertained the Arab patsies aboard his yacht. Abramoff was a Bush Administration insider having been on the Transition Advisory Team assigned to the Department of the Interior in 2001.

Abramoff is a convicted criminal lobbyist who is a central figure in a plethora of political scandals, fraud, and other scams. He is currently serving a five year prison term for fraud, conspiracy, and tax evasion. He also had foreknowledge of the Zionist engineered War In Iraq.

Al Qaida = Mossad Playing Dress Up

Adam Yahiye Gadahn

Ziad Jarrah and Mohammed Atta

A translation of ‘Al-Qaeda’ (not the only one) is ‘The Base,’. It also translates to ‘The Toilet.’ The Arabic word ‘Qa’ada’ means ‘to sit’ (on the toilet bowl). Arab homes have three kinds of toilets: ‘Hamam Franji’ or ‘Al-Qaeda’ or foreign toilet, ‘Hamam Arabi’ or Arab toilet, and a potty used for children called ‘Ma Qa’adia’ or ‘Little Qaeda.’ ‘Ana raicha Al Qaeda’ is a colloquial expression for ‘I’m going to the toilet.’

Why would a terrorist group appear to revel in the name ‘The Toilet’?.

“The Base” is also the Arab colloquialism for a CIA maintained computerised database of foreign fighters prepared to harass both the Soviet Occupation of Afghanistan and support Muslim fighters in the former Yugoslavia. In other words it is a CIA construct and a very useful ongoing Zionist/US fiction.

Ali al-Jarrah

Adam Yahiye Gadahn also known as Azzam the American is the so called Al Qaida spokesperson who releases videos tormenting the world with his anti-American rants. The FBI even have him on their most wanted terrorists list.

It turns out he is a Zionist Jew named Adam Pearlman, from California. Adam’s grandfather, Carl Pearlman, was a prominent surgeon and on the Board of Directors of the Anti-Defamation League! This is a script fit for a Hollywood movie. Spielberg to direct?

Ziad Jarrah, the Duped Lebanese Mossad Stooge, with Mohammed Atta

To the left is a still image from “laughing hijackers” video showing Ziad Jarrah(left), and Mohammed Atta(right), allegedly making their martyrdom video just before 9/11, all the while laughing hysterically about it!

Ziad Jarrah’s cousin, Ali Al Jarrah , was recently discovered by Lebanese authorities to have been a spy for Israel for 25 years!!

Netanyahu Openly Gleeful of 9/11 Terror Attacks

Apparently Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is so confident in Zionist control and domination that he haphazardly stated publicly that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were “good” for US – Israeli relations, and would generate “immediate sympathy” for the Israeli cause of ethnically cleansing the Palestinians.

The Israeli newspaper Ma’ariv reported that Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu told an audience at Bar Ilan:

“We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq,” Ma’ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events “swung American public opinion in our favor.”

Note: A YouTube video corroborating Netanyahu’s words was removed for what is described as “a terms of use violation”
The YouTube link was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZxPUIj4xxY

Of course Netanyahu’s nonchalantness about making such controversial statements in public is not that surprising considering how much control Zionist Jews have over the American media. The aftermath of 9/11 saw the Zionist-media unveil a relentless demonization campaign against Arabs stereotyping them as a bunch of fanatical plotting terrorists – a cause for celebration for Netanyahu and his brethren who look for any excuse to slaughter innocent Palestinians while confiscating their land.

Likely Architect of 9/11

Netanyahu is considered by many to be the architect of the 9/11, directing the Mossad/Shin Bet. He was Israeli PM at the time and has a long history of involvement in Israeli terrorism and politics. He’s been a prominent member of the Likud Government since 1993. The Likud Party is the literal successor of the Jewish terrorist organization known as the Irgun. He was the prime minister to whom the ACB Doc was presented. Netanyahu wrote a book in the early 80’s called Terrorism: How the West Can Win. He founded the Jonathan Institute in the late 1970’s to study (and plan) terrorism. Egyptian Intellectual, Hassan Al Bana, has stated publicly that he thinks Netanyahu planned 9/11 with the Jews at the Jonathan Institute. Al Bana cites a book written by Netanyahu called Uprooting Terrorism which speaks of plans to attack the U.N., and the World Trade Center with small nuclear bombs.

Connected Events Lead to Israel

Zionist would-be terrorist incident at the Mexican Congress Building

As reported by La Vox De Atzlan, ^[17] two men posing as press photographers, but in reality Israeli Mossad agents, were arrested INSIDE the Mexican congress on October 10, 2001 armed with 9mm pistols, 9 grenades, explosives, three detonators, and 58 bullets, but were RELEASED from custody because of pressure from the Israeli embassy.

“We believe that the two Zionists terrorist were going to blow up the Mexican Congress. The second phase was to mobilize both the Mexican and US press to blame Osama bin Laden. Most likely then Mexico would declare war on Afghanistan as well, commit troops and all the oil it could spare to combat Islamic terrorism.”

The terrorists names were Salvador Guersson Smecke (retired Israeli IDF colonel), age 34, and Saur Ben Zvi, age 27.

These terrorists were released because of a very high level emergency meetings took place between Mexican Secretary of Foreign Relations Jorge Gutman, General Macedo de la Concha and an Ariel Sharon envoy who flew to Mexico City specially for that purpose.

Quotes From Prominent People

Former Italian President agrees, says Mossad did 9/11

Francesco Cossiga

Genral Hamid Gul

Former Italian President Francesco Cossiga, who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio, has told Italy’s oldest and most widely read newspaper that the 9-11 terrorist attacks were run by the Mossad, and that this was common knowledge among global intelligence agencies. In what translates awkwardly into English, Cossiga told the newspaper Corriere della Sera:

“All the [intelligence services] of America and Europe know well that the disastrous attack has been planned and realized from the Mossad, with the aid of the Zionist world in order to put under accusation the Arabic countries and in order to induce the western powers to take part in Iraq [and] Afghanistan.”

Former Pakistani ISI Director Says it was Mossad

In an interview only a mere weeks after 9/11, Hamid Gul — former head of Pakistani intelligence (ISI) from 1987-1989 — tells Arnaud de Borchgrave, United Press International of who he thinks was behind the attacks. Here are a few excerpts from the transcript which can be read in full here:

De Borchgrave: So who did Black Sept. 11?

Gul: Mossad and its accomplices.The U.S. spends $40 billion a year on its 11 intelligence agencies. That’s $400 billion in 10 years. Yet the Bush Administration says it was taken by surprise. I don’t believe it. Within 10 minutes of the second twin tower being hit in the World Trade Center CNN said Osama bin Laden had done it. That was a planned piece of disinformation by the real perpetrators. It created an instant mindset and put public opinion into a trance, which prevented even intelligent people from thinking for themselves.
