Deplorable role of our politicians

Asif Haroon Raja

Irresponsible behavior of our political leaders is causing irreparable damage to the nation. Their myopia has caused deep anguish to the people. Their selfishness broke the country into two. When Mujibur Rahman and 22 co-accused were arrested on charges of treason and secession in 1968, the politicians bailed them out. When Ayub Khan who had uplifted the fortunes of Pakistan sky high, agreed to all the demands of the opposition and called the Round Table Conference to find a political way out, power hungry ZA Bhutto failed the conference. While Gen Yahya gave all the political concessions and allocated heaviest development outlays for the eastern wing to appease the Bengalis, Mujibur Rahman chose to play the Indian game to become PM of Bangladesh and not of united Pakistan. ZA Bhutto added fuel to fire since he wanted half of the cake of power at all cost. Their obduracy and India’s disgusting role led to the break of Pakistan. Bangladesh broke away to become independent but has become a satellite of India.

Egotism and greed of nationalist politicians from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Sindh, later joined by Baluchistan nationalists blocked the construction of Kalabagh Dam (KBD), vital for the survival of Pakistan. Who doesn’t know that India was behind the ones opposing KBD and had doled out large amounts to achieve her sinister design? Today when India has built well over 60 dams on the three rivers flowing into Pakistan from occupied Kashmir and is hell bent to make Pakistan a water scarce country and a barren land, no one is holding the opponents accountable. India is now in a position to flood our rivers during flood season each year and control water during seeds sowing season. This strategy has been devised to bend nuclear Pakistan and force it to give up Kashmir and accept Indian hegemony if it wants to survive. But for the avaricious politicians who have sold their souls to the devil, India could never have succeeded in her designs. Thanks to Ayub Khan who constructed Tarbela and Mangla Dams and laid a network of irrigation canals, otherwise Pakistan by now would have been a drought stricken country and couldn’t have possibly pursued its nuclear program or maintained strong armed forces.

We know the architects of NRO and what price the beneficiaries had agreed to pay to get cleansed from criminal and corruption charges and secure power. We know the dream team of PPP-MQM-ANP-JUI-F formed by the US in March 2008 and how this chosen team went about giving Pakistan on contract to the adversaries of Pakistan. While all the PPP leading lights involved in mega scandals were given a clean chit, 8000 MQM leaders involved in heinous crimes were let off. This team played havoc with Pakistan in its 5-year rule. Besides minting money and reducing Pakistan into a carcass, the MQM in its bid to gain total control over Karachi and other urban centres of Sindh let loose a reign of terror in Karachi with the help of its target killers, extortionists, kidnappers. Railway was almost grounded by ANP minister. While all the economic indicators had gone into negative, all profit earning state corporations ran on oxygen, economy almost collapsed and debts doubled. Country was run by taking loans from IMF, World Bank, local banks and printing notes. PML-N tied to charter of democracy looked the other way.

Pakistan was seen as a breeding ground of terrorism, the most dangerous country in the world and a failing state. An impression had been built that Pakistan’s nukes were unsafe and likely to be snatched by militants and hence must be taken in safe custody. Pak Army and ISI were ridiculed by propagating that they were either in league with terrorists or were inefficient and were repeatedly asked to do more. Every Tom, Dick and Harry could whip Pakistan and our leaders took the insults and whips without a whimper. No country was prepared to invest even $ 100 in Pakistan and foreign investment had dried up. Pakistan suffered worst energy crisis and people had to endure 18-20 hours load shedding. There was acute shortage of gas, fuel and commodities. Corruption scaled new heights and was institutionalized. Nepotism was adopted and merit discarded. Cheats and crooks were preferred over honest people. Accountability was in name only since no one was held accountable under the name of national reconciliation. Even those sentenced to death were not hanged because of moratorium. Over 4000 terrorists arrested by the Army soldiers in combat zones were freed by the law courts. No criminal in Karachi involved in hundreds of murders was convicted and punished.

We remember how merrily our leaders accepted the Kerry Lugar Bill which in the garb of aid was designed to control Pakistan’s premier institutions and strategic assets. We also remember the Memo scandal and the devious role of our ambassador in Washington who had authored it at the behest of the top leaders in Pakistan. Hussain Haqqani had pushed in 7000 CIA and Blackwater operatives without seeking clearance from Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ISI. Rahman Malik as Interior Minister served the vested interests of his local and foreign masters submissively and enabled Blackwater to establish itself in major urban centres. It has now been established that while MQM is closely linked with RAW, PPP leadership is involved in financial terrorism in Karachi and ANP connection with the Indian Congress is no secret. BLA, BRA, BLF are creations of MI-6, CIA, RAW and are serving their agenda to detach Baluchistan from Pakistan. Their absconding leaders are leading a luxurious life in London, Geneva and Washington. TTP is also a creation of foreign agencies and its top leaders are hosted by Afghan intelligence in Kunar, Nuristan, Nangarhar and used by RAW against Pakistan.  

Instead of building institutions and focusing on alleviating the sufferings of the poor, the politicians got involved in filling their coffers. While the PPP wasted all their energies in glorifying ZA Bhutto and Benazir and in demeaning Gen Ziaul Haq, the MQM and ANP lionized Altaf Hussain and Bacha Khan respectively. PPP and MQM kept fighting in Sindh but slept in one bed. Their insatiable greed and lust for big money and power, and their uncaring habit of displaying their wealth sowed the seeds of materialism and immorality. Their dishonesty stimulated culture of corruption. Their arrogant behavior and their lackadaisical approach and insensitivity towards the have-nots bred intolerance, resentment and further fueled religious extremism and terrorism. Their inefficiency crumbled the economy and accentuated joblessness and poverty. Lacking in vision and patriotism, and preferring self-interests over national interests, they remained engrossed in transferring wealth to Swiss banks and procuring property abroad and took little interest in education and in integrating the society as one whole, which is prone to divisive tendencies due to factors of regionalism, ethnicity, sectarianism, secular-Islamic divide and religious divides. Their corrupt practices became a key factor in disillusioning the youth and in going astray and in fanning provincialism.

These glaring anomalies can be attributed to a robber baron but certainly not to a Guardian. One can expect the callous feudal lord to commit such thoughtless acts but cannot be expected from a true leader and a well-wisher. The have-nots have been groaning under the weight of unbearable poverty and crying in pain for the last 69 years, but the ones sitting in the corridors of power and taking turns to loot the national wealth and resources are so smug in their high lifestyle that they either turn a deaf ear to their cries or pretend that they are doing a lot for them. Each time they stand for elections, they reach up to the have-nots and promise them moon, but no sooner they get elected through their votes they get disconnected from them. Having spent millions during election campaign, they consider it their right to plunder the national wealth. They forget the sacrifices rendered by the workers, tillers, farmers, laborers, artisans who keep the economic wheels of the country running irrespective of the odds.

Even under such insalubrious circumstances, the Army and ISI remained focused on battling with the foreign agencies supported terrorist groups in FATA and parts of KP and managed to recapture 17 administrative units from their hold in 2009 and retained them since the civil administration expressed its inability to takeover. Over 3000 security personnel embraced martyrdom in Swat and South Waziristan operations while the list of injured was much longer.

It is indeed ironic that well knowing that Pakistan has been cleverly trapped into a web of international conspiracy and the security forces are fighting an existential war since 2004, the politicians have brought no change in their behavior pattern and conduct. While the Army is at war and is shedding blood to safeguard the territorial integrity and sovereignty of motherland, and has demolished the last stronghold of TTP in North Waziristan, there is no change in the way of life of politicians. They are still making money, squabbling and indulging in intrigues. MQM followed by the PPP are trying to discredit the Rangers and fail the operation in Karachi since both want the axe to fall on smaller fish only and to spare the big fish. Sindh government is dragging its feet to grant extension to Rangers. They are doing so against the wishes of people of Karachi.

Disgruntled politicians in Sindh never hesitate from using Sindh or Muhajir card. There are some envious of progress achieved by Shahbaz, blaming Punjab for lack of development in smaller provinces. Punjab cannot be blamed for plunging the city of lights Karachi into darkness and soaking the streets with human blood. It is PPP which is creating hurdles in the implementation of National Action Plan and is now seeking judicial inquiry of Bacha Khan University terror attack. PPP is building pressure on the government to wind up Rangers operation in Karachi.

Look at how some political parties assisted by segment of media are opposing the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which is a win-win project for both Pakistan and China since it helps Pakistan in getting out of the woods and China in developing its western provinces and in getting connected with South Asia, Middle East, Africa and beyond. The ones in the vanguard are Tehreek-e-Insaaf, ANP, PPP, JUI-F supported by Baloch nationalists. They are speaking the language of India which is hell-bent to scuttle CPEC.

While the $46 billion project is being viewed by the analysts all over the globe as a game changer for Pakistan as well as for South Asia, India is creating hurdles and has declared that it is unacceptable. Reason is that this project will bolster Pakistan’s economy and enhance its significance in the world and above all decisively demolish India’s plan to encircle Pakistan and her grandiose plans to become a regional and global power. India knows that politically stable, economically sound and militarily strong Pakistan will quicken the pace for liberation of occupied Kashmir from her clutches and then unravel Indian Union. Like India, the US is equally upset about CPEC since it will jeopardise its ambition to shift its strategic pivot from West Asia to Asia-Pacific, disrupt its plans to encircle its chief rival China and will thwart its plans to harness the mineral resources of Central Asia.

Since the CPEC has become a nightmare for India as well as USA because Central Asian Republics and some Gulf Countries have already got attracted towards it, the BJP regime has established a special desk of RAW at Delhi and allocated $300 million to scuttle CPEC at all cost. In addition, ex Afghan President Hamid Karzai has been given $30 million to keep Afghan base active for cross border terrorism in Pakistan. Indian National Adviser Ajit Dowal is the director of the operation and he is using multiple methods to achieve India’s ends. Heating up of LoC/Working boundary, false flag operations, threatening posture, and acceleration in acts of terror in restive zones of Pakistan through which western route passes, establishing a link between TTP runaway leaders and Daesh and straining Afghan-Pakistan relations were part of the gory plan. Having failed to disrupt the progress of CPEC and getting flabbergasted with the outstanding successes achieved by Operation Zarb-e-Azb in northwest, FC operation in Baluchistan and Rangers led operation in Karachi, India seems to have acquired the services of some political parties and anchors/journalists in Pakistan to do what she couldn’t do.

Their possible linkage with foreign agenda can be discerned from the fact that the first attempt to scare away the Chinese from undertaking this project was made through Dharna politics. People were led astray under the slogan of ‘change’. Negative politics delayed the signing of the CPEC deal by six months. Another trick employed was to spoil civil-military relations. After the failure of dharna to achieve its objective, complexion of Pakistan began to improve, and the CPEC project took off. Guided by outsiders, the detractors tried to make it controversial by raising the issue of ‘route’ under the pretext that Baluchistan and KP provinces would derive least benefits from it. They tried to mislead the people by asserting that original plan had been changed to benefit Punjab whereas the only route in the original plan was western. They insisted upon giving priority to western route over central and eastern routes. And when to their great disappointment this issue was amicably resolved by the PM in the All Parties’ Conference held in May 2015 that development of western route will be given top priority, they were left gaping and had to shut up for next six months.

They then waited for their patrons for the new theme to play up. To pick faults, they stated that the western route which is being constructed by FWO under the supervision and protection of Army is just a road. When they were explained that it was a four-lane Highway in continuation to KKH, they are now saying that a six-lane motorway along with all the allied facilities are required at the outset. KP CM is using threatening language; similar to the language used by ANP leaders about KBD. They fail to realise that CPEC is a 15-year long term project which has been entirely funded by China, and the one investing $46 billion has its own interests and security concerns and would like the venture to be profitable and not a liability. No one has ever invested this kind of money in Pakistan. As far as energy parks are concerned, which would consume $35 billion of the total amount, those would be decided in consultation with provinces and the latter will have to earmark places and acquire land. The opponents in their frenetic hatred for the ruling party to gain political mileage have started to sing the old song of “Punjab’, which was sung by the Bengalis and it is not difficult to ascertain as to who is the composer of the song.

The frustrated politicians know well that operationalization of CPEC and resolution of energy crisis by 2018 will sink their political ambitions to capture power in 2018 elections. To remain relevant and garner support of the public, they are ringing false alarm bells about CPEC and employing all sorts of dirty tricks to make it controversial and to dishearten the Chinese and oblige them to abandon the project. Their bleating impelled China to express its concern. In their mad frenzy, they do not understand that this opportunity that has come our way is a fate changer and if it slips away Pakistan will never be able to get rid of its external and internal debts and to remove socio-economic deprivations of smaller provinces and will continue to lurch from one crisis to another and remain vulnerable to conspiracies and foreign adventures.

While I agree that PML-N is not a party of angels and there are quite many feudal lords and crooks in it, the fact is that its performance is far better than the previous regime. It must be allowed to work and complete its tenure. If PPP led regime could be tolerated why not this one which is delivering. Let the people decide its fate in May 2018. Any turmoil in the political setup at this delicate stage when economy is yet to stabilize, energy crisis are yet to be overcome, and our adversaries are getting impatient to denuclearize and fragment Pakistan, will be suicidal. Talk of presidential form of government, national government, or the Army taking over power are unproductive suggestions at this stage. Meaningless tug of war will help our adversaries and not Pakistan. The critics must rationally analyse whether the present government has retrogressed or progressed after it took over.

Nawaz’s softness towards India, although highly unpalatable, may be tolerated. After all, Pakistan cannot afford tension on its eastern and western fronts. It is the duty of the government in power to keep the neighbors placated, particularly when our adversaries are provoking Pakistan intentionally. Pakistan’s chief focus should be towards improvement of economy. Economic prosperity alone will deter our adversaries. At the same time, ongoing operations in FATA, Baluchistan and Karachi must continue relentlessly and National Action Plan implemented in letter and spirit to achieve conclusive results. Besides the cancer of terrorism, the bigger cancer of corruption must also be cured. All this is possible only if civil-military relations remain harmonious, all institutions to perform at their optimum levels and provincial governments to concentrate on improving the socio-economic conditions of their respective provinces rather than blaming the federal government.

Dear Media Friends,
 
I am bringing this very sad story in your kind notice and APPEAL for the HELP to this overseas Pakistani businessman Mr. Sheri Bashir who originally belongs to Sheikhupura but having a very good and established business in USA and Japan. He invested almost 2 million dollars in Sheikhupura and build a high rise building of international standard and also established an international standard fast food restaurant.
 
He has been receiving the Parchies (letters) for Bhatta from a Group called “Bhatti Group” for Rs.500,000/- from the last few days along with the free ride of fast food meals in his restaurant for the Goons of Bhatti Group. This gentleman seeked the help of police and managed to register an FIR in the A-Division Police Station Sheikhupura. (Copy of the FIR is attached as ready reference).The SHO arrested 3 nominated accused from the fast food restaurant of overseas Pakistani who were enjoying the free meal as usual.  But when the leaders of this Bhatta Group got to know the arrest of their 3 members, they attacked on this businessman and tortured him a lot. After this the leaders of this Bhatta group who are reported to be working under the umbrella of sitting MNA of PML(N) went to police station along with the DSP Mr. Mirza and got released the three nominated and arrested accused from the police station.
 
Here comes following questions:
 
1- Is Province Punjab is also now going  to be the heaven of Bhatta Khori?
2- After such events, would any other overseas Pakistani would dare to invest in Pakistan?
3- Can such overseas Pakistani would survive against a powerful MNA and police under the influence of this sitting  MNA?
 
I would request all friends to please HELP this over seas Pakistani Mr. Sherri Bashir (Cell # 0300-9472986) who dared to challenge the Bhatta Khors and now straggling for survival.
 
Thanks

CJ’s Prodigal & Dishonest Son, Arsalan Iftikhar Gets a ‘Red Carpet’ Welcome

Posted by kulsoom Waheed in " RIAZ THE SHAITAN OF PAKISTAN, Asif Zardari Crook Par Excellance, Corruption, Looters and Scam Artists on July 14th, 2013

A ‘red carpet’ for CJP’s son at airport

 
ONLINE

 

Arsalan Iftikhar
 

LAHORE – The Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary’s son, Arsalan Iftikhar was extended ‘royal protocol’ at the Allama Iqbal International Airport on Wednesday, according to media reports.
The protocol is reserved for the most esteemed public personalities; not extended to parliamentarians and ministers even.
Media reports said that Arsalan Iftikhar was given special protocol when he arrived at Lahore Airport by Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight PK-615. A special vehicle was detailed to pick him up as soon as he stepped on the airport right from the stairs descending from the plane.
Arsalan Iftikhar has been charged with seeking millions of rupees in profit from former Chairman Bahria Town Malik Riaz during his foreign trips. The Shoaib Saddal Commission is investigating the matter.
Observers inquired that under what status was Arsalan Iftikhar provided protocol, terming this a bid of the PIA to seek the CJP’s favor.
Commenting on the situation, leading TV anchor Mubashar Luqman said that no enquiry had been initiated against Arsalan Iftikhar so far. The CJP had headed the bench during the course of the petition’s hearing but had later rescued his son, which raised troubling questions about the integrity of one of the country’s central institutions.

VIDEO OF SAUDI ROYAL FAMILY HYPOCRISY:PAKISTANI SMUGGLER ARSHAD MAHMOOD BEHEADED, SAUDI SMUGGLER PRINCE NAYYEF PROTECTED

Saudi Arabia beheads Pakistani for drug trafficking

AFP | 16th January, 2013

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia beheaded a Pakistani man in the eastern Khubar province on Wednesday after he was convicted of drug trafficking, the interior ministry announced.

Arshad Mohammed was arrested for smuggling heroin and hashish into the kingdom, the ministry was quoted as saying by the official SPA news agency.

His execution brings to four the number of people executed in Saudi Arabia so far this year.

Last year, the kingdom beheaded 76 people, according to an AFP tally based on official figures. The US-based Human Rights Watch put the number at 69.

Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking are all punishable by death under Saudi Arabia’s Shariah, or Islamic law. 

Paris court confirms drug jail sentence for Saudi prince

 A Paris appeals court on Tuesday confirmed a Saudi prince’s conviction for involvement in a cocaine smuggling gang and added a seven million euro ($9.7-million) fine to his 10-year jail sentence.Prince Nayef Al-Shaalan was tried in absentia in the original trial last year and also failed to show up at the appeal court, which revalidated a warrant for his arrest.

The prince, who is not in line for the Saudi throne, was one of 10 people handed jail terms of four to 10 years in connection with an operation which landed two tonnes of cocaine at an airfield outside Paris in 1999.

Prince Nayef was convicted of illegally importing drugs, of complicity in the transport, detention and provision of drugs and of criminal conspiracy.

He was accused of providing a jet to transport the drugs from Colombia and using his diplomatic immunity as cover. 

A grandson of Saudi Arabia’s founding monarch Abdulaziz, the prince has denied any involvement in the drug-trafficking ring.

His lawyers were not immediately available for comment after Thursday’s appeal court ruling.

The investigation leading to the prince’s conviction began in June 1999, when 800kg of cocaine with a street value of $30 million was seized by police in a raid near Paris.

He was indicted on the basis of testimony from three Colombian former drug barons – Oscar Eduardo Campuzano Zapata, Juan Gabriel Usuga Norena and Carlos Alfonso Ramon Zapata – as part of a plea-bargain in a separate drugs trial in the United States.

The Colombians, also convicted in absentia last year, were respectively handed four-, nine- and 10-year jail sentences.

But the appeals court increased those sentences so now all three face 10 years in jail.

The Colombians and Prince Nayef were ordered by the court last year to jointly pay a total fine of 80 million euros to the French customs service.

On Tuesday the court ordered the Colombians to pay a supplementary fine of two million euros each.

A Spanish art dealer and financier was handed a five-year sentence last year for taking part in a conspiracy with the aim of importing drugs.

Five other defendants were also given 10 years on the same charges as the prince in the 2007 hearing.

The 53-year-old prince was one of 10 people handed jail terms of four to 10 years in connection with an operation which landed two tonnes of cocaine at an airfield outside Paris in 1999. The judge ruled to uphold international arrest warrants against Prince Nayef and the nine other defendants, who include three former Colombian drugs barons. 

Prince Nayef was convicted of illegally importing drugs, of complicity in the transport, detention and provision of drugs and of criminal conspiracy. He is accused of using his diplomatic immunity to smuggle drugs to France on board a private jet. A grandson of Saudi Arabia’s founding monarch Abdulaziz and son-in-law to the Saudi deputy defence minister, the prince denies any involvement in drug trafficking. A Saudi representative at the hearing said he intended to appeal. 

The investigation leading to his prince’s conviction began in June 1999, when police acting on a tip-off seized 800 kilos of cocaine with a street value of $30 million a raid near Paris. Prince Nayef – who is alleged to have made contacts with Colombia’s Medellin cartel while studying at the University of Miami in the early 1980s – is accused of providing a jet to transport the drugs from Colombia to Paris.

Drug Smuggling Saudi Prince Gets 10 Years

178057732X
 By Vic Walter
May 9, 2007 7:13pm

A French court sentenced a Saudi prince to 10 years in prison for abusing his role in a large-scale cocaine smuggling operation. But the prince isn’t likely to see the inside of a cell anytime soon. Saudi Prince Nayef bin Sultan bin Fawwaz al-Shaalan, believed to be living in Saudi Arabia, did not appear at today’s hearing, or the trial which preceded it, and was sentenced in absentia by the court. It also fined him $100 million for his role in the plot to smuggle two tons of cocaine from Colombia to an airport outside Paris in 1999. Nine other defendants were also convicted in absentia for their part in the operation. The prince, who is the grandson of Saudi Arabia’s founding monarch Abdulaziz and the son-in-law to the Saudi deputy defense minister, was found guilty of using his diplomatic status and a 727 jet belonging to the Saudi royal family to transport the cocaine. The United States has also indicted al-Shaalan with conspiracy to possess and distribute cocaine but does not have a policy of trying cases in absentia.  In 2005, a U.S. court found two other members of the operation guilty and sentenced them each to 24 years in prison and to pay $25,000 in fines. Former Drug Enforcement Administration official Tom Raffanello, who oversaw the U.S. investigation of Prince Nayef al-Shaalan, applauded the sentence of the French court. “I think it is a great thing. I wish more countries would try criminals in absentia, when it’s obvious they have avoided prosecution.” The prince is said to be living in Saudi Arabia, which does not have an extradition treaty with the United States.  It also does not have one with France. “Because of that we have to catch a break in order to catch him,” said Raffanello. Prince Nayef al-Shaalan has denied the smuggling charges and claims he has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the Saudi government.

WHY MUSLIMS REBEL AND ADOPT TERROR AS A WEAPON PART-1: Dubai: The Humble Lifestyles of “Scum Bag,” Arabs

Posted by admin in Corruption in Islamic Countries, Islam: The Universal Message of Peace on January 2nd, 2013

 

The Hypocrites, men and women, (have an understanding) with each other: They enjoin evil, and forbid what is just, and are close with their hands. They have forgotten Allah; so He hath forgotten them. Verily the Hypocrites are rebellious and perverse.
—Sura 9 (At-Tawba), ayah 67, Quran

The Western World wonders, why Osama Bin Ladin and his ilk found fertile ground to recruit terrorists from the Muslim World?

The Muslim youth is disillusioned and has begun the question the vast gulf between “Kaul (belief),” and “Fail(act);” in many so called Muslim countries. Some of them have been turning to bizarre and extreme sects instead of following the tenets of Qu’ran and sunnah. Islamic Renaissance needs to occur at this juncture. It has been too long, Muslim societies have been wandering aimlessly, like ships without a rudder. The current spate of Islamic thought leaders are straddling too extreme. Islam is a Deen of Moderation. It is the Middle Path, between extremes. It is a magnet which attracts the human spirit,. It has simple set of core values, underlying which is the Glory of One Creator, a Respect for All Creatures Great and Small, and a responsibility towards all Creation, from trees to mountains to rivers, in short the whole environment.  The gulf between the teachings of Islam and its followers has widened into a chasm. The Muslim world has to do a reality check, on what it believes, and how it puts those beliefs to practice.  Hypocrisy  or Munafiqat is a bigger sin, than not following Beliefs at all. Muslims need to do an introverted examination of their own lives.  They need to look at the mirror and say if they are being truthful to the teachings of the Greatest Man, the Deserts of Arabia ever produced? Is Islam of today living up to its name? Or is it followed in name only? Can the Muftis, Shaikhs and Alims of today, hold a candle to Imam Ghazali? Are the covenants with Allah Almighty, as embodied in the Glorious Qu’raan, being observed or are of they of the munafiqeen (hypocrites); whom the Prophet (PBUH) vehemently despised and eventually defeated. The Arab society, where Islam had its genesis are wallowing in depravity, due to influx unimaginable wealth, generated by the Oil Industry.  Those who rode camels, a few decades ago, now ride Ferraris and Lmborghinis, even though Almighty Allah has warned Muslims, not to be mesmerized by the GLITTER, of this World. But, treat your fellow man with kindness and generosity  to inherit the Rewards of the Hereafter.

Here is a Muslim answer to the West, unknowingly or deliberately, the West is creating islands of enormous wealth among Arab nations, while the rest of the Muslim world from Morocco to Indonesia is drowning in a sea of poverty. Poverty and Wealth Disparity breeds Terrorism.  A hungry populace responds violently against an obnoxiously rich minority amongst them. Islamic countries are ruled by hypocrites, despots, and obnoxiously corrupt individuals, such as Asif Zardari, the Sheikhs of UAE, the Princes of Saudi Arabia, Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan, and Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei. If the US wants to win the hearts of  minds of Muslims, it has to force these Kingdoms and Potentates like Brunei to use their wealth not only among the poor in Muslim lands, but, against the scourges of hunger, illiteracy, sex trafficking, narcotics consumption, and obnoxious display of il-lgotten wealth, around the globe. Otherwise, the next domino to fall in a Tahrir Square like event would be Saudi Arabia or UAE, but this may not happen as peacefully as Tahrir Square.  It may end up like a French or Russian Revolution.  It is a natural crucible for the genesis of terrorism.  The nurturing of Kings, Emirs, and Sheikhs by the Western nations have provided the seeds for a backlash from the 1.2 billion Muslims living mostly in abject poverty, illiteracy, disease, hunger, and total economic disparity. The people of the Western nations must raise their voices against the pedophilia,sex trafficking and smuggling of women from Pakistan, India, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Phillipinnes, Thailand, Burma, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhistan, Hungary, Sweden, Austria, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mexico, Brazil, and a host of other nations. and the sex slavery practiced in the arc of Arab and Islamic nations from Dubai to Lebanon. It is a powder keg where movements like Tahrir Square can emerge by the hundred and drown these Dens of Iniquities like the Kingdoms of Saudi Arabia and the UAE Potentates.

DUBAI // Five men ran a brothel where runaway maids were forced to work as prostitutes, the Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance heard yesterday. The men, all Indians, identified as MN, 23; SA, 26; MB, 35; MA, 24; and SZ, 36, were all charged with human trafficking, operating a brothel, illegal confinement and aiding and abetting a crime. The group encouraged house-maids to abscond from their employers and work in prostitution, prosecutors say. An informant led police to the group and MB was brought in for questioning, the court heard. He told investigators that his job was to run and operate the brothel for MN and SA while MA and SZ supplied the girls and clientele.

Police raided the brothel on January 8 and a 20-year-old Bangladeshi girl was found in the building. The girl told police that she was brought to the country through an employment company but when she arrived was told by two men that she would be working in prostitution. The men then sold her for Dh14,000 to MN and SA, prosecutors said. The girl said she refused to work as a prostitute but MN and SA beat her, locked her up then raped her. The girl said that she was forced to cater to between 10 and 15 clients every day.

Dubai: 18-year-old Ethiopian Maid says she was Raped, Forced into Prostitution

Four charged with forcing maids into prostitution

Marie Nammour / 2 October 2012

Three Bangladeshi men and an Indonesian woman faced the charge of human trafficking in the Court of First Instance on Sunday for allegedly forcing four runaway maids into prostitution.
The three men have been identified as D.H., F.A. and J.H. and the Indonesian woman as M.B.

According to prosecution records, D.H. (28) and M.B. (23) lured the maids by promising them better jobs with Dh1,500 salary and coaxed them to run away from their sponsors’ houses.

J.H. took two of them from Al Ain to D.H.’s place in Al Muraqqabat where the latter beat them with an iron rod, threatened them and forced them into prostitution. F.A. was in charge of receiving and keeping an eye on the men who came to have sex with the victims.

The four defendants are accused of running a brothel from a room in Hamdan area in Muraqqabat.

D.H. is accused of raping three of the victims after undressing and beating them up.

He raped one of them twice and breached her modesty by clicking her nude pictures against her will.

One of the victims, a 33-year-old Indonesian maid, told the prosecutor how she was deceived to runaway from her sponsor’s house in Al Ain and was brought to D.H.’s room in Muraqqabat where she saw many prostitutes, of Ethiopian, Bangladeshi and Indonesian nationalities.

She was locked up for three days and beaten with an iron rod to let D.H. have sex with her against her will. The maid managed to call her sponsor’s wife and cook, seeking their help to call the police and was released after the police raided the room.

Another Indonesia maid (26) recounted a similar story of how she was lured from her sponsor’s place and then forced into prostitution. She also said that D.H. raped her twice and filmed her after forcing her to undress.

Another maid, an 18-year-old Ethiopian, said that D.H. stripped her of her cash and mobile phone and raped her.

According to a police sergeant, in April an Emirati woman had informed them that her absconding maid was being forcefully held in a room by a Bangladeshi man who had forced her into flesh trade.

The police located the room, which was in a shared house in 
Al Muraqqabat and was divided into partitions made by pieces 
of fabrics.

D.H. admitted that he had made Dh35,000 by exploiting women in prostitution.

Prostitution ring plotted to sell ‘virginities’ of young girls to wealthy Arabs.
 The Corrupt Lifestyles of Brotherly Wealthy Arabs: 

Gang tried to sell girls’ virginity to wealthy Arabs for £150,000

A sex trafficking gang offered to sell the virginity of underage girls to wealthy businessmen for up to £150,000 each. 

The three women and a man were offering girls as young as 13 but were arrested in an undercover Scotland Yard operation after staff at a luxury hotel tipped off police. 

One of the women had arrived at the Jumeirah Carlton Hotel in Knightsbridge, central London, in a silver BMW to offer the gang’s services in a handwritten letter to the owner in August last year.

 
 
Gang members: Fatima Hagnegat, Mahrookh Jamali and Rasoul Gholampour, three members of a child prostitution ring who face jail after they attempted to sell the virginity of young girls to wealthy Arab businessmen for up to £150,000

Gang: Fatima Hagnegat and Mahrookh Jamali face jail after they attempted to sell the virginity of young girls to wealthy Arab businessmen for up to £150,000

It read: ‘I have 12 girls ready from the age 14-20 years, who are living all over the UK, I have spent money on the preparation of this event such as a rented house for the girls and also all expenses needed.’ 

Worried staff immediately alerted police who traced the car and telephone number given in the letter to an address in Wigan where Fatima Hagnegat, 24, lived with her husband, Rassoul Gholampour. 

Inquires revealed that another similar letter had been delivered to the hotel on an earlier date. 

Detectives then exchanged messages with the gang under the guise of potential clients. One undercover officer, known as ‘Cameron’, telephoned the mobile number provided in the letter to ask about hiring girls on behalf of a client.

Rasoul Gholampour was part of the gang

He spoke to Hagnegat’s aunt, Marohkh Jamali, 41, who told him that she could arrange a party for four to five people that night if required. She stated that she could provide girls from Iran, England and Eastern Europe aged 14 and 20. 

The officer arranged to meet Jamali who told him some of her girls were virgins and could be ‘broken’ by his client. She emailed him photographs of a number of girls and said she would bring up to five girls to London, including two 13-year-olds, and would expect £50,000 to £150,000 for each. 

The next day Jamali went to a different London hotel, in Bayswater, accompanied by Hagnegat and six girls, two of whom were aged 14 and 17. 

The other four were 18 or older. Off icers swooped and arrested Jamali and Hagnegat. 

The six victims, who had all been brought to London from the North-West of England and cannot be identified for legal reasons, were taken to a victims’ centre. 

They later described how they had travelled from Wigan with the defendants on the understanding that they would be able to earn some money ‘dancing’ for a party of rich men. 

It was only later, on their arrival in London, that they were told they may be asked to have sex with the men. 

The gang members, all jobless and Iranian, pleaded guilty to trafficking and prostitution offences at Harrow Crown Court yesterday. 

Hagnegat and Jamali, who is from North-West London, each admitted conspiracy to traffic persons within the UK for sexual exploitation and a second charge of control of prostitution for gain. 

A 43-year-old woman, who owned the London flat where the victims were taken the night before they were introduced to ‘Cameron’, admitted the same two charges. She cannot be named for legal reasons. 

Gholampour, 30, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to traffic persons within the UK for sexual exploitation. 

A third charge of conspiracy to arrange the prostitution of children will lie on the file of all four defendants. 

Prosecutor Bill McGivern said the young women were not forced into sexual services, but were ‘coerced’ into offering them after dancing for clients. 

The court heard the 14-year-old girl present when police swooped was used as ‘bait’ and there was no evidence she was to be used as a prostitute. 

The four gang members, who have been in custody since their arrest last year, will be sentenced today. 

Last night Detective Chief Superintendent Richard Martin, head of the Metropolitan Police Service’s Human Exploitation and Organised Crime Command, said: ‘This is a sad and harrowing case.’

Rich Arabs Pay Young British Virgins For Sex

A recent report in The Sun entitled “ Parents sell virgins aged 12 for sex” highlights something that many may not be aware.  Crime Reporter Anthony France pointed out in his article that usually foreign kids from Eastern Europe, the Far East and Africa are bought into the UK to work as sex slaves.  Very seldom do you see young British girls in the sex trade.

 But this is now changing. It seems that some British parents are forcing their schoolgirl daughters into prostitution and then sell them to millionaire paedophiles. A spokesman for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) said: “Unscrupulous traffickers are controlling and terrorising vulnerable children within the UK, forcing some into the sex industry and abusing and exploiting many others.”

What makes British parents willing to sell their virgin daughters for sex?  The answer is obvious – MONEY! And it is really big money.  A 12-year old British virgin girl can fetch up to £50,000 for having sex with the super rich Arabs.

Organized crime is of course behind this sex trade.  With the amount of money involved, the gangs are prepared to peddle even younger, prepubescent girls.

Think about it.  When 43-year old Indonesia Muslim cleric Syech Puji took 12-year old Lutfiana Ulfa as his second wife, and declared his intention to take another 2 young girls – 7 and 9 year old as third and fourth wives, there was an uproar throughout Indonesia and beyond. Now for the sake of big money, British parents are selling their 12-year old virgin daughters to rich arab men for sex. Who is worse?  The British parents? Or Syech Puji

 

Dubai Prostitutes’ Earnings Soar

“Las Vegas is a sputtering 20-watt bulb compared with this fire in the desert,” wrote Vanity Fair’s Nick Tosches. Dubai is “Capitalism on Steroids” & that includes Xmas.

A Couple on A Date - Frank Hardy

The sex trade is alive and Ladies of the Night are flourishing in the Emirate of Dubai. Much has been written on sex trafficking around the world and Prostitution in Dubai specifically; however, little has been written from the view and attitude of a large majority of the “Business Ladies” in Dubai. A view many will find disturbing.

Willing Prostitutes

As with so much in Dubai, the world’s oldest profession has taken a turn divergent from the rest of the planet. Renowned photo-journalist Mimi Chakarova has examined the world of sex slaves, forced prostitutes and captive women for the last 4 years. She was shocked to discover what so many already knew: mostprostitutes in Dubai voluntarily perform their trade.

“When I arrived to report…I was prepared to confront…human degradation…but I was surprised to find something else. I met women working as prostitutes who told me that they were doing so because they had chosen to…. She [a prostitute] said she could earn more in one night as a prostitute than working a whole month in sales….[and] the money she sends home to Siberia has allowed her family to build a house.”

Christmas Season

The holidays are especially ripe for the business ladies in a nation that is built upon the very dichotomy that is prostitution: necessary but unwanted; illegal but desired! The “Dubai Model” brings success to an “Arab city by shearing away the qualities that have long defined it as Arab.” Legally sanctioned, illegal prostitution; morally reprehensible yet socially acceptable; completely taboo but an openly practiced profession; prostitution is the essence of the “Dubai Model.”

The wealth of Dubai seems to explode during the holidays as it does in so many other wealthy cities this time of the year. Just as merchants at Filene’s Basement and Macy’s department stores rush to sell their wares to jovial and willing customers, so too do the Business Ladies of Dubai. With 80% of the residents coming from other nations, the Ladies have a glut of celebrating customers waiting to purchase their commodities. And as with any shrewd business person, the supply demand curve is strictly adhered to.

Holiday Inflation

A survey by a local expatriate underground newspaper has determined that prices have “risen by 20-50%” the last few weeks. Research conducted by the American Center for International Policy Studies (AMCIPS) found that Eastern European (Russian) and Ethiopian women are the most common “free agent” prostitutes. Ethiopians, who in the past received 300 AED, now garner 400 for an hour’s work; a Russian’s 500 AED per hour fees a month ago now garner 700+ dirham per hour.

However individuals feel about the holidays, whether Arabic Eid or Western Christmas; Dubai is an avenue for most to increase earnings. As the Minister of Finance said in a resent interview: “You gave us capitalism: we are new to it; but we will not do anything that will jeopardize that which we have attained!” Prostitution has been an integral part of that expansion and in the view of one local Emiratee: “when the prostitutes profit, Dubai profits:” but at whose expense?
