Israel on Saturday morning launched a massive air raid at Gaza Strip, which according to them was  was targeted at Hamas militants. What was the result:

Death Toll: 225 civilians (mostly women and children) and the number is increasing with every passing hour.

Injured: 700 and more 

From a BBC correspondent:

 I spoke to one man, a civilian, and also a 14-year-old boy who were injured in an airstrike on a police station in the east of Gaza City this morning.

The man said he had been going to work in a clinic when he heard the sound of planes and turned back. But after that he cannot remember what happened - he just woke up injured, with wounds in his hand, leg and stomach.

The teenage boy had blood on his head and was in a lot of pain. He could not even remember his own name. “I don’t even know where I am,” he said to me.

I saw a body too, in the emergency room, with a stick of wood stuck through the chest.

Yesterday I also went into the hospital; the morgue was full and bodies were left in the streets. Parents were scouring the hospital for their children.

I followed one woman who was screaming “my son, my son” as she searched the building. 

So what actually happened in GAZA? May be few pics can give a glimpse:

 

What was the Civilized world reaction on this act of REAL TERRORISM:

1) WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN GORDON JOHNDROE:

“Hamas’ continued rocket attacks into Israel must cease if the violence is to stop. Hamas must end its terrorist activities if it wishes to play a role in the future of the Palestinian people.”

2) FRENCH PRESIDENCY STATEMENT: 

“He (French President Nicolas Sarkozy) demands an immediate stop to the firing of rockets on Israel and to the Israeli bombings in Gaza and calls for all parties to use restraint.”

 3)BRITISH FOREIGN OFFICE STATEMENT:

“The only way to achieve lasting peace in Gaza is through peaceful means. Whilst we understand the Israeli government’s obligation to protect its population we urge maximum restraint to avoid further civilian casualties”

“We also call on miltants in the Gaza Strip to immediately cease all rocket attacks on Israel.”

4) ISRAELI DEFENCE FORCE STATEMENT:

“The IDF will continue its operations against terror in accordance with constant status assessments by the IDF Chief of General Staff. This operation will be continued, expanded and intensified as much as required.”

———

Any word of sympathy for the innocent women and children who lost their lives and were injured? NOPE! I wonder why? Maybe GENOCIDE against Muslims and Arabs doesn’t count. Maybe!

 And what the Arab and Muslim world has to say on this?

The Amir (Ruler) of Mecca/Medina will continue its ties with the CIVILIZED WORLD, after all beggars are not choosers.

ARAB LEAGUE SECRETARY-GENERAL AMR MOUSSA:

“We are facing a continuing spectacle which has been carefully planned. So we have to expect that there will be many casualties. We face a major humanitarian catastrophe”.

EGYPTIAN PRESIDENT HOSNI MUBARAK, QUOTED BY MENA:

“Egypt will continue its contacts to prepare an atmosphere conducive to restoring the period of calm and achieving reconciliation between the Palestinian groups.”

IRANIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESMAN HASAN QASHQAVI QUOTED BY STATE TELEVISION:

“Iran strongly condemns the Zionist regime’s (Israel) wide-ranging attacks against the civilians in Gaza.”

“The raids agains innocent people are unforgiveable and unacceptable.”

——

Conclusion

Unfortunately Palestine will continue to bleed because nobody in the world has anything to do with this forsaken nation and its people. So what have we learned today?

*Hitler and Nazis are condenmed for the Halaucast.

*Pakistan is under lot of scrutiny for the attacks that are yet to be proven.

*Osama and Al Qaeda are the ultimate danger to worlds peace.

*Iran and Ahmedinijad are danger to the CIVILIZED WORLD especially ISRAEL.

PS: what about the innocent civilian women and childeren in the pics above?

Are they Americans? ==> Nope

Are they Europeons? ==> Nah!

Are they Indian or Israelis? ===> God No!

For those who were out of town or couldn’t make it to the ‘Karachi Bloggers Meetup 2008’ cuz of some reason missed out a great opportunity to party like a blogger. I know how it sounds like but trust me; we didn’t do anything of any sort which could have possibly made us wake up the other morning with a hangover Ok that was a lame joke and so will be the rest of the post. Those who have some sense of humor can read on the rest should read dictionary it will increase their vocab.

 

The event started for me when I along with deHog entered the venue (Royal Rodale – Royal 1) one hour earlier; why? Well I didn’t wanna be late plus my mum kicked me out of the house. When we showed up at the place the organizers were clearly surprised to see us because they just got there themselves and were setting up things.

 

Question asked: Who are you guys?

 

Ans: Dhakkan Mujahideens

 

Question: What?

 

Ans: We are Blaaaagerssssssss  =)

 

Salaina checked our name on the list gave us our badges and asked us not to take photos until they are done setting up the place. But do us eva listen muhahaha (evil laugh).

 

After taking some quick shots we decided to settle down on our table. Finally got the chance to meet both Badar Khushnood (Google Pakistan) and the famous Rabia Garib (CIO Magazine) both organizers greeted us with a big smile.

 

 

As the day progressed I got the chance to meet and socialize bloggers, old n new friends and discussed politics, blogging, and how tasteless the red bull was  So why were we drinking red bull in the first place and around 2-3pm in noon   Dude, it was free. We Pakistanis don’t let any free things go, even if they are allegations from neighboring countries

 

 

 

 

 

 

Highlights of the event:

 

• Rabia Garib with the microphone, the lady is a pro (13 years of experience no small deal). Every time someone tried to take the mic away from her (to ask a question); she used to give ‘em “The Look” and the scared ppl neva touched the mic again

 

• Badar Khushnood is as awesome and cool as google itself. Badar Sahab is google Paksitan hiring? CV fwd kero

 

• First thing on the agenda was the fact that Doctor Awab does everything but practice medicine, good for the blogging community, even better for his patients. Lolz

 

• Sabeen Mahmud was having fun on the rolling chair she rolled 3rice on her seat during the session. (Ok now somebody gonna ban me from entering t2f )

 

• Saad Hamid (20 Islamabad) and Haris (18 Lahore) makes more money then Asif Zardari ever made through proper (google) channel.

 

 

• The 2 kids make X000$ per month. Holy Kawwww…….. Everyone in the hall were staring the 2 with open jaws and greedy eyes.

 

• Fariha was typing typing typing……typing. We know who were you typing for

 

• If you are a good friend of Jamash, chances are that he’s gonna take a kick ass photo of yours for free and will put it up on the facebook. For people like me chances are slim [and I thought we were friends Jamal]

 

• Munir Usman and Imad Qamar who blogged like 3 posts in 5 years were sitting in the front row posing as professional bloggers. Sitting in front can only help you win some goodies but in Munir’s case even that didn’t happen.

 

• Ramla said the K word to everyone’s surprise; I would like to defend her in this post. “People; dog is an animal and a much loved one in many civilizations.”

 

• Everyone TOTALLY LOVED <3 my 5 minutes of Teabreak munjan (aka marketing). I was like BONO out there. [This is a clear example of how big liars we bloggers are haha].

 

• Mohtashim of IT TAZEE is actually a young energetic guy and for all that time I thought he was 40 something.

 

• Siyab was the youngest Pakistani blogger in the event (16 yrs). He got the Hassan Raza award

 

• Following the XMAS spirit goodies bag were distributed among the panelist, and those who were able to answer really difficult and mind blogging questions. Yes they copied the format from Tariq Aziz’s “NEELAAM GHARR”

 

• After there were no questions or goodie bag left they decided to take a Teabreak hmm teabreak….now where did I learned that term

 

• I ate 2 samosas, 1 small burger and that squared fried thing. I wonder what was that?

 

 

• Shahzad Khan aka Dehog forced me to make some tea for him, I had to his name ends with a Khan (*scared*).

 

Okay that’s about it for now I am not very candid with the rest of the lot present and therefore can not put them in this post; as a matter of fact I am not very frank with most of the people I mentioned above but I am sure KBM09 will take some time till then;

 

“Blog On! Before we get the Vietnami treatment”

 

I would like to thank Badar , Rabia and their team for smoothly executing such an awesome meet up, we would love to see more such events, but Iam sure most bloggers would like to see the emphasis on serious blogging and active blogger community. Money matters but it cant replace ones passion for blogging.

The word terrorism is not new for me or my countrymen. Being an ally of USA on “War on Terror”, Pakistan has been subjected to never ending series of violence that is not completely home grown but exported from its neighboring countries and the Middle EastUSA. Because one way or the other Pakistani dies, whether it’s Waziristan where US air strikes hit civilian women and children or Karachi where a freshly brain washed 17 year old blows himself off in public. Majority of the innocent people who gave their lives because of terrorism are Pakistanis. (We all are aware of the involvement of the agencies as well). But a very few Pakistani supported this so called war arrangement made between Musharraf and USA.

When two Pakistanis will talk about terrorism they will either blame the Govt. for their Pro American policies or they will hold religious extremism which has no support in the masses responsible. Osama Bin Ladin is a Saudi national. Zahwari who is alleged for many suicide attacks in Pakistan is an Egyptian national. Similarly many Uzbiks, Tajiks, Chechian nationals are involved in terrorists activities. But how many times Pakistani PM came on the tele shooting baseless allegations and warning these countries to stop exporting terrorism? Because happily or bitterly we all have accepted the fact that terrorism is a global phenomenon and who ever has engineered (or getting all the benefits) from this New World Order – (Post 9/11) we Pakistanis are on the receiving side.

Now where did we go wrong?

* Democracy

a)     Soviet War in Afghanistan: US puppet in Pakistan and our dictator Zia went out of the way to support USA in the first Afghan war. His lame ass excuse was RELIGION.  He implanted the seeds of religious extremism, sectarianism, AK- 47 culture etc.

b)     US-Nato aided War in Afghanistan: US puppet in Pakistan and dictator Musharraf went out of the way to support USA in the present going Afghan war. His lame ass excuse was “Enlighten Moderation”.

It’s amazing how one dictator negates the policy of another dictator but serving the interest and policies of the same Boss. But this is not the topic of today’s discussion. We all are shocked and touched by the tragic events in MUMBAI that killed 150 or more innocents and destroyed the lives of millions who were associated to them one way or the other. We Pakistanis can relate because our life is more then equally effected and is on stake like any Indian who finds itself insecure or terrorized.

But why from day one, when the operation was in progress. Indian media, Government officials started blaming and accusing Pakistan for the whole thing. It clearly indicates the fact that if somebody in India is even hit by a water balloon, Pakistan/ICI will be hold responsible for it. Because we are MUSLIMS + Pakistanis, so go on blame the easy targets, Indian Janta/Public will buy it anyway. With elections around the corner Congress needs to show some retaliation to cover up the loop holes in their system. If they will blame the Indian Muslims; there goes the minority vote So let the villains be Muslims but link them with the infamous neighbors.The did the same in Samjhota Express incidence and we know how it turned out to be

 

I don’t see no other logical reason because Indians rite now are making anything but sense. They don’t want to buy the fact that there are elements in India that are frustrated, lead a life style which is unimaginably lowest among every other Indian ethnic community and yes I am talking about the Muslims in India that is the largest minority in Bharat and their suffering is twice of the total Indian population.

Some years back a Rajinder Sachar Committee was appointed by the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of India. This high level committee was setup for preparation of a report on the social, economic and educational status of the Muslim community of India. Summary of the main points are as follows:

Some points in the reports are:

* In the field of literacy the Committee has found that the rate among Muslims is very much below than the national average. The gap between Muslims and the general average is greater in urban areas and women. 25 per cent of children of Muslim parents in the 6-14 year age group have either never attended school or have dropped out.

* Muslim parents are not averse to mainstream education or to send their children to affordable Government schools. The access to government schools for children of Muslim parents is limited.

* Bidi workers, tailors and mechanics need to be provided with social safety nets and social security. The participation of Muslims in the professional and managerial cadre is low.

* The average amount of bank loan disbursed to the Muslims is 2/3 of the amount disbursed to other minorities. In some cases it is half. The Reserve Bank of India’s efforts to extend banking and credit facilities under the Prime Minister’s 15-point programme of 1983 has mainly benefited other minorities marginalizing Muslims.

* There is a clear and significant inverse association between the proportion of the Muslim population and the availability of educational infrastructure in small villages. Muslim concentration villages are not well served with pucca approach roads and local bus stops.

* Substantially larger proportion of the Muslim households in urban areas are in the less than Rs.500 expenditure bracket.

* The presence of Muslims has been found to be only 3% in the IAS, 1.8% in the IFS and 4% in the IPS.

* Muslim community has a representation of only 4.5% in Indian Railways while 98.7% of them are positioned at lower levels. Representation of Muslims is very low in the Universities and in Banks. Their share in police constables is only 6%, in health 4.4%, in transport 6.5%.

* For the Maulana Azad Education Foundation to be effective the corpus fund needs to be increased to 1000 crores. Total allocation in the four years 2002 to 2006 for Madarsa Modernization Scheme is 106 crores. The information regarding the Scheme has not adequately percolated down. Even if the share of Muslims in elected bodies is low they and other under represented segments can be involved in the decision making process through innovative mechanisms.

* Most of the variables indicate that Muslim-OBCs are significantly deprived in comparison to Hindu-OBCs. The work participation rate (WPR) shows the presence of a sharp difference between Hindu-OBCs (67%) and the Muslims. The share of Muslim-OBCs in government/ PSU jobs is much lower than Hindu-OBCs.

* There are about 5 lakh registered Wakfs with 600,000 acres (2,400 km²) land and Rs 6,000 crore book value.

You can read the total report here.

So if the so called Dakkan Mujahadin is blaming the Indian Govt for their short comings what do we have to do with all this? We are going though a rough patch, what benefit Pakistan would get after destroying the on going peace process with India? The last thing we need is picking a fight which can lead to Nuclear War.
