{EOP}Alert! CIA FALSE FLAG ATTACK!! - TTP hits USZ consulate vehicle, 2 killed 10 injured in Peshawar
The tail part of the Land cruiser was seriously damaged, he said, adding that the other consulate vehicle remained intact in the blast. It could be due to the poor timing of the blast, he said. Apart from the two injured Americans, at least two people were killed and eight others were injured in the blast that went off at about 8:25 a.m. Friday morning. It is ironic enough to note that nearby buildings also were damaged during the blast but NO AMERICAN WAS EVEN SERIOUSLY WOUNDED unlike hundreds of Pakistani military soldiers and thousands of civilians that have been expertly martyred by THE SAME CROOKED TTP BACKED BY CIA.
On the other hand, a spokesman for none other than the CIA's own Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility for an attack on a USZ consulate convoy in Peshawar. "The diplomatic staff of all NATO countries are our targets", said Ehsanullah Ehsan, a CIA-TTP spokesman, via telephone from an undisclosed location, and this was reported by none other than the Baseless Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) of UK. "We will continue such attacks. Pakistan is our first target, and America is our second."
It's pretty much self explanatory and the last fictitious statement quite comprehensively sums it all up where the CIA-TTP representative rightly says that PAKISTAN IS THEIR FIRST TARGET!!!

{EOP}United States of Islam>>can Lead Muslims towards>>Islamic Khilafah
The Role of South Asia in the sight of Prophet Muhammad PBUH Almost 1431 years has been passed, and the ummah of Prophet PBUH have seen many eras. We can divide this long period in three segments after Prophet Muhammad PBUH. The first one was the most glorious period known as the Khilafat{according to a hadees (Musnad Imam Ahmed 4/273)}, during which the Muslims gained a lot of success, then came the era of Mamlokat (kingdom), whether it was the kingdom of Umayyad, the kingdom of Mughals in India, this period brought declinefor the umaah and the Great Muslim Empire started to see downfall. Then the 3rd but the worst period known as Slavery came, and since the last 300 years, we Muslims living in any part of the world are facing direct or indirect slavery. We don’t want to go in detail as We are sure we all know well that before we were directly under the colonial rule, and now all the decisions of each Muslim country are made in USA. We are not free to impose any order in our country, for each and every step our governments takes permission from their masters. There is not even a single muslim country which has impose complete Islamic Sharia System, in other words there is not any muslim country by system but yes by name they are 55. Now the question arises that what is the future of our Muslim Ummah? We are sure every sensitive Muslim think about that and feel depress. The answer lies in the Hadees of Prophet Muhammad PBUH narrated by Abu Huraira R.A in Tirmizi Shareef vol.no.2 hadees no.152, which is also the topic of my discussion. “The army carrying black flags will come from Khorasan, no power will be able to stop them and they will finally reach Jerusalem where they will erect their flags." * The area of Khorasan mentioned here is not only the province of Khorasan in Iran, but it also includes the area of Afghanistan, Malakand Division of Pakistan and some part of Russian ex-states like Azbakstan. As we all know that first time it was Hazrat Ummar R.A who conquered Jerusalem from Jewish but after that because of the ignorance of Arabs it went again in the hands of Christians, and this time Arabs were not strong enough due to their internal quarrels.So Slah u Din Ayubi who was a Kurd, won the fight and eventually recaptured Palestine. Now the third time this great opportunity will come in the hands of South Asian Muslims according to Prophet Muhammad PBUH. To analayze further the words of Prophet Muhammad PBUH, we have to throw light on the importance of this region. Mujaddids are those great people who restore the original beliefs and practices and explain the true intent of Shari‘ah. The word Mujaddid has been derived from a well-known Hadees reported by Imam Abu Dawood in his Sunan, one of the six Authentic Books of Hadees. The text of the Hadees is as follows: “Surely, Allah will send for this Ummah at the advent of every one hundred years a person (or persons) who will renovate its religion for it.” [Sunan Abu Dawood] This Hadees indicates that at certain times some group of people among the Ummah may go astray and forget the original teaching of the Holy Quran and Sunnah, which will allow the un-islamic elements to creep into the original beliefs and practices. Even though this distorted version of Shari’ah will not achieve the universal acceptance among the Muslims, but if a large number of Muslim gets attracted by it, then Allah will send a person or number of persons who will correct the errors, and restore the original beliefs and practices of Sharia’ah. This act of renovation is called “Tajdeed” and those who carry out this remarkable work are named as “Mujaddid” (renovator). The history witnessed that the center of gravity of Islam was first known as Baghdad, and then it shifted to Spain, then further moved to North Africa where people like Ibn e Khaldoun played an important part in the renovation of Islam, and now this gravity has transferred to South Asia. The prove lies in the list of the Mujaddids that appeared during last 1400 years. If we analyze it deeply, the first 10 Renovators were mostly Arabs or from the surrounding areas. Now from the last 4oo years the Mujaddids are appearing in this region of South Asia. For example in * Eleventh century A.H.: Hazrat Mujaddid Alif Sani. Twelfth century A.H.: Hazrat Shah Waliullah Muhaddith Dehlavi. Thirteenth century A.H.: Hazrat Sayyid Ahmad Brelvi. They all were non-Arabs. As far I concern, I personally feel that the Mujaddids of Fourteenth century can be Allama Iqbal, Taqiuddin al-Nabhani, Dr.Tahir ul Qadri,Maulana Ilyas Attari, Moulana Ilyas,Dr. Israr Ahmed and Dr. Zakir Naik and many more listed in this link( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_modern-day_Muslim_scholars ). As they all have and are contributing the same efforts and work as of the Mujaddids (these are my personal views, no one has to agree with that, but I have my evidences to prove my word). Further more the two great scholars Malik Bin Nabi from Aljazair and Dr. Shariati from Iran were also of the same view.
Dr. Shariati has once said that “Intellectual and Spiritual center of gravity of the world of Islam has shifted to South Asia”. These facts show that the Muslims of this region have been honored with this great reward, but great honor brings great responsibility. This center of gravity has shifted from Arabs to us because they forgot their responsibilities and duties as Muslims, and if we repeat the same mistake again then it’s easy for Allah to remove the previous and bring new people.It is the duty of the muslims to unite again and become Muslim Ummah. Because there is a concept of one Muslim Ummah but we have many Muslim States. We pray tht Allah give courage to such people who r practising muslims n wants to bring Islamic revolution and working on unity of muslims.
Our First Mission is to Establish a United States of Islam based on Unity then from this plateform Khilafat will be announced as It will be strong Khilafat which will based on the mutual Unity of all Muslims.

{EOP}Dr Muhammad Iqbal and Nationalism Detailed Analysis
The ideology that Deen is the determining factor in defining the nationality of Muslims can be explained as:
There are varying interpretations on Nationalism based on whether the Blood,Ethnicity,culture,language,race, and most IMPORTANT is Political Identity(Deen).....
Our interpretation contends that Muslims and Non- Muslims constitute "two distinct, and frequently antagonistic, ways of life, and that therefore they cannot coexist in one nation." In this version, a transfer of populations (i.e. the removal of non-muslims from Muslim-majority areas and the removal of Muslims from non muslim majority areas) is a desirable step towards a complete separation of two incompatible nations that "cannot coexist in a harmonious relationship".(Hijrat concept from Mecca to Madina)
This Islamic Nationalism theory states that the concept of nation in the Islam is different from that in the West. In the Islamic nationhood, religion Deen-e-Islam "a complete social order which affects all the activities in life" and "where the allegiance of people is divided on the basis of religion, the idea of territorial nationalism has never succeeded." It asserted that "a Muslim of one country has far more sympathies with a Muslim living in another country than with a non-Muslim living in the same country."
Therefore, "the conception of Muslims as a nation may not be ethnically,racially,bloddly,regionally and tribally correct, but socially and politically on Deen -e-Islam it is correct.
Iqbal had also championed the notion of pan-Islamic nationhood (see: Ummah) and attacked the concept of a territory-centered nation as anti-Islamic:::::
In taza khudaon mein bara sabse watan hai; Jo pairahan iska hai, voh mazhab ka kafan hai (Of all the new false gods, the biggest is the Motherland (watan); The garment of this idea is actually the death-shroud of religion)." He had stated the dissolution of ethnic nationalities into a unified Muslim society (or millat) as the ultimate goal: Butaan-e-rang-o-khoon ko tor kar millat mein gum ho ja; Na Turani rahe baqi, na Irani, na Afghani (Destroy the idols of color and blood-ties, and merge into the Muslim society; Let no Turanians remain, no Iranians, no Afghans)

In Muhammad Ali Jinnah's All India Muslim League Presidential Address delivered at Lahore, on March 22–23, 1940, he explained:
“ It is extremely difficult to appreciate why our Hindu friends fail to understand the real nature of Islam and Hinduism. They are not religions in the strict sense of the word, but are, in fact, different and distinct social orders, and it is a dream that the Hindus and Muslims can ever evolve a common nationality, and this misconception of one Indian nation has troubles and will lead India to destruction if we fail to revise our notions in time. The Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religious philosophies, social customs, litterateurs. They neither intermarry nor interdine together and, indeed, they belong to two different civilizations which are based mainly on conflicting ideas and conceptions. Their aspect on life and of life are different. It is quite clear that Hindus and Mussalmans derive their inspiration from different sources of history. They have different epics, different heroes, and different episodes. Very often the hero of one is a foe of the other and, likewise, their victories and defeats overlap. To yoke together two such nations under a single state, one as a numerical minority and the other as a majority, must lead to growing discontent and final destruction of any fabric that may be so built for the government of such a state. ”
Allama Iqbal's statement explaining the attitude of Muslim delegates to the Round-Table Conference issued in December, 1933 was a rejoinder to Jawahar Lal Nehru's statement. Nehru had said that the attitude of the Muslim delegation was based on “reactionarism”. Iqbal concluded his rejoinder with:
“ In conclusion I must put a straight question to pundit Jawahar Lal, how is India's problem to be solved if the majority community will neither concede the minimum safeguards necessary for the protection of a minority of 80 million people, nor accept the award of a third party; but continue to talk of a kind of nationalism which works out only to its own benefit? This position can admit of only two alternatives. Either the Indian majority community will have to accept for itself the permanent position of an agent of British imperialism in the East, or the country will have to be redistributed on a basis of religious, historical and cultural affinities so as to do away with the question of electorates and the communal problem in its present form.
Iqbal’s concept of Muslim nationalism is neither local, nor parochial; it is universal in its essence. Iqbal regards his concept of Muslim nationalism as a “stepping stone towards the final integration of humanity”. It is a pity that Iqbal’s concept of Muslim nationalism has only been partially realized so far, and its universal dimension is only an unnoticed and unrealized ideal as yet.
Iqbal’s famous Ilahabad address of 1930 is well-known for enshrining the vision of separate Muslim homelands in South Asia on the basis of his concept of a separate Muslim nationalism in India. But it is still unknown that Iqbal had espoused another vision of a composite Muslim-Christian-Jewish nationalism in the very same Ilahabad address. While rejecting the concept of a composite Indian nationalism, Iqbal cherished the view of a composite Muslim nationalism in the heartlands of Islam, highlighting the world-view shared by the People of the Book i.e. Muslims, Christians and Jews.
This simultaneous rejection of composite nationalism in India and affirmation of the composite Muslim nationalism in Muslim majority countries seems paradoxical. But a deeper study of Iqbal’s philosophical arguments against the concept of a composite Indian nationalism is bound to clear the ambiguity. The Muslims of India cannot accept the territorial concept of a composite Indian nationalism because they “are differently situated”. They are in a minority. The majority in India believes in the concept of a divinely created caste system. This exploitative system has divided even the Hindu community itself into high, low and untouchable classes. The existence of various social barriers means that mankind is divided into touchable and untouchable, pure and impure races.
According to Iqbal “Islam does not recognize caste or race or colour.” His concept of a separate Muslim nationhood in India is based on spiritual homogeneity and not on territorial affinity or racial solidarity. Elaborating upon the fundamental concepts of Islamic culture, he has pointed out that “as an emotional system of unification Islam recognizes the worth of the individual as such, and rejects blood-relationship as a basis of human unity,” he asserted that Islam has laid the basis of a new human culture by rejecting the old “culture of throne, and the systems of unification which were based on blood-relationship…The new culture finds the foundation of world-unity in the principle of Tawhid i. e. belief in one God. Islam, as a polity is only a practical means of making this principle a living factor in the intellectual and emotional life of mankind. It demands loyalty to God, not to thrones. And since God is the ultimate spiritual basis of all life, loyalty to God virtually amounts to man’s loyalty to his own ideal nature.” Hence, his total rejection of the concept of a composite Indian nationalism based on the modern Western concept of territorial nationalism. Since, the construction of a polity on Indian nationalist lines is in conflict with the Islamic principle of solidarity and is contrary to the spirit and ideals of Islam, Muslim India is bound to reject it. The idea of a composite Indian nationalism is inspired by the great Hindu writers, the central themes of whose writing is the veneration for Bharat-Mata (Mother India), which is Arya-Verta (Aryan homeland). Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto has aptly observed that “the kind of consciousness of past greatness, regenerated by Indian writes to inspire Hindu cultural and political revival, has been the main spring of twentieth-century Indian nationalism. Nehru’s Discovery of India shows how the most westernized of Hindu minds fell captive to this spell of the essential Hindu-ness of India”. The famous Hindu writer, Nirad C. Chaudary has discussed in detail the nature and extent of the conflict between the Hindu society and Muslim society in India in his book The Continent of Circe. Elaborating upon the cultural significance of the advent of Islam in India, he has stated that unlike all previous conquests:
the Muslim conquest of India could not be made innocuous for the Hindus through the caste system. The conquest was an extension into a new country of a well-established and mature society, with a fully developed way of life and a living culture. What was even more important was the fact the Muslims were not barbarians at a low level of culture who would consider admission to the Hindu fold as a promotion. On the contrary, not only were they themselves the creators and defenders of a new and aggressive culture. They were the first people in history to put forward the idea of an irreconcilable conflict between a particular way of life and all others, and to formulate a theory of permanent revolution.
In order to avoid this “irreconcilable conflict” and to avoid the perpetual civil war going on between the two communities, Iqbal formulated the theory of a separate Muslim nationalism and demanded separate and sovereign Muslim homelands in the Indian sub-continent. This concept of separate Muslim nationalism in India is organically related to the concept of composite Muslim nationalism in Middle East.
Iqbal is of the view that in the countries where Muslims are in majority and the minorities there, are monotheists sharing the same world-view with the Muslim majority, “there is no conflict between Islam and nationalism”. He advised “the Muslim leaders and politicians” not to be “carried away by the subtle but placid arguments that Turkey and Iran and other Muslim countries are progressing on national, i. e. territorial lines”. Muslim India cannot follow the ideals of territorial nationalism because:
The Muslims of India are differently situated. The countries of Islam outside India are practically wholly Muslim in population. The minorities there belong, in the language of the Qur’an, “to the people o f the Book”. There are no social barriers between Muslims and the “people of the Book”. A Jew or a Christian or a Zoroastrian does not pollute the food of a Muslim by touching it, and the law of Islam allows inter-marriage with the “people of the Book”. Indeed the first practical step that Islam took towards the realization of a final combination of humanity was to call upon peoples possessing practically the same ethical ideal to come forward and combine. The Qur’an declares: “O people of the Book! Come, let us join together on the word (Unity of God), that is common to us all.
The basis of Iqbal’s concept of nationalism is derived from the Qur’an. The unifying principle is the common word (Tawhid: belief in one God). The Qur’an urges upon, again and again, the spiritual harmony of the people of the book. I am tempted here to the Qur’an:
1. Say [to the Jews and Christians], we [Muslims] believe in that which was revealed to us as well as that which was revealed to you. Our God and your God is one and the same. We all submit to Him (Qur’an 29:46).
2. Say, we [Muslims] believe in God, in what He revealed to us, to Ibrahim, Isma‘il, Ishaq,Ya‘qub and the tribes, to Moses, Jesus and all the revelations of the Prophets-without discriminating between them. To God we submit (Qur’an 2:136).”
Iqbal’s rationale is rooted in Muslim history, as well. History bears witness to the phenomenon that during the hay day of Muslim civilization, spiritual was the order of the day. Tracing the origins of the academic discipline of comparative religion (Ilm al Milal wal Nihal), Isma’il R. al Faruqi states that:
In the early Middle Ages, the caliphal courts of Damascus, Baghdad and Cordova witnessed countless meetings of Jews, Christians and Muslims in which the learned adherents debated the three faiths. The reigning culture gave such honour to the three religions, such respect to their principles and institutions, that inter-religious debate was the subject of salon conversation, a public pastime.
The most recent testimony to this fact comes from Karen Armstrong. While delivering the first Fazlur Rahman Memorial Lecture in Oxford, she has correctly observed that “in the Islamic empire, Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians enjoyed religious freedom. This reflected the teaching of the Koran, which is a pluralistic scripture, affirmative of other traditions. Muslims are commanded by God to respect the “People of the Book”, and reminded that they share the same beliefs and the same God. Constantly the Koran explains that Mohammad has not come to cancel out the revelations brought by Adam, Abraham, Moses or Jesus.”
In the light of the foregoing, Iqbal’s concept of Muslim nationhood is aimed at the final unity of mankind. Reconstructing Muslim political theory in the context of modern nationalist ideals, Iqbal formulates a new theory of composite nationalism of the followers of Abrahamic Faiths (Millat-i-Ibrahimi). He even widens the scope of his theory to include it its fold Zoroastrians and others possessing the same word-view. In reply to the questions raised by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, in his three articles published in the Modern Review (Calcutta), Iqbal stated categorically that:-
Nationalism in the sense of love of one’s country and even readiness to die for its honour is a part of the Muslim’s faith: it comes into conflict with Islam only when it begins to play the role of a political concept and claims to be a principle of human solidarity, demanding that Islam should recede to the background of a mere private opinion and cease to be a living factor in the national life. In Turkey, Iran, Egypt and other Muslim countries it will never become a problem. In these countries Muslims constitute an overwhelming majority and their minorities, i. e., Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians, according to the law of Islam, are either “People of the Book” or “like the People of the Book” with whom the law of Islam allows free social relations including matrimonial alliances. It becomes a problem for Muslims only in countries where they happen to be in a minority, and nationalism demands their complete self-effacement. In majority countries Islam accommodates nationalism; for there, Islam and nationalism are practically identical; in minority countries it is justified in seeking self-determination as a cultural unit. In either case, it is thoroughly consistent with itself.
This Qur’anic ideal of “the final unity of humanity” could not be realized so far, because of “the wars of Islam and Christianity. And later, European aggression in its various forms, could not allow the infinite meaning of “the Qur’anic verses, quoted above, “to the countries of Islam in the shape of what is called Muslim Nationalism.”
Iqbal has finally an irrevocably rejected hereditary kingship as well as theocracy as contrary to the original spirit of Islam. He regards “spiritual democracy” as “the ultimate aim of Islam”. In his Ilahabad address he has stated categorically that in the separate Muslim homelands of his dream spiritual pluralism is going to be the order of the day:
Nor should the Hindus fear that the creation of autonomous Muslim States will means the introduction of a kind of religious rule in such States. The truth is that Islam is not a church. It is a State conceived as a contractual organism long before Rousseau ever thought of such a thing and animated by an ethical ideal which regards man not as an earth-rooted creature, defined by this or that portion of the earth, but as spiritual being understood in terms of a social mechanism and possessing rights duties as a living in that mechanism. (p. 172)
Muslim nationalism is a tolerant, liberal and humanistic political and social creed. Referring to the teachings of the Qur’an, Iqbal declared that “a community which is inspired by feelings of ill-will towards other communities is low and ignoble. I entertain the highest respect for the customs, laws, religious and social institutions of other communities. Nay, it is my duty according to the teaching of the Qur’an, even to defend their places of worship, if need be. Yet I love the communal group which is the source of my life and behaviour and which has formed me what I am by giving me its religion, its literature, its thought, its culture and thereby recreating its whole past as a living operative factor in my present consciousness. The concept of Muslim nationhood is thus inspired by the profound love with ones own community i. e. the Muslim community, and immense respect for all other communities.
This divinely inspired ideology of the “essential unity of humanity” could not be translated into actuality, yesterday, because of the crusades and later on, by the “European imperialist encroachment, in its various forms, on Muslim soil”. It remains an unrealized ideal even today as a result of a fresh onslaught of the western hegemony.
There are varying interpretations on Nationalism based on whether the Blood,Ethnicity,culture,language,race, and most IMPORTANT is Political Identity(Deen).....
Our interpretation contends that Muslims and Non- Muslims constitute "two distinct, and frequently antagonistic, ways of life, and that therefore they cannot coexist in one nation."

And since God is the ultimate spiritual basis of all life, loyalty to God virtually amounts to man’s loyalty to his own ideal nature.” Hence, his total rejection of the concept of a composite Indian nationalism based on the modern Western concept of territorial nationalism. Since, the construction of a polity on Indian nationalist lines is in conflict with the Islamic principle of solidarity and is contrary to the spirit and ideals of Islam, Muslim India is bound to reject it. The idea of a composite Indian nationalism is inspired by the great Hindu writers, the central themes of whose writing is the veneration for Bharat-Mata (Mother India), which is Arya-Verta (Aryan homeland). Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto has aptly observed that “the kind of consciousness of past greatness, regenerated by Indian writes to inspire Hindu cultural and political revival, has been the main spring of twentieth-century Indian nationalism. Nehru’s Discovery of India shows how the most westernized of Hindu minds fell captive to this spell of the essential Hindu-ness of India”. The famous Hindu writer, Nirad C. Chaudary has discussed in detail the nature and extent of the conflict between the Hindu society and Muslim society in India in his book The Continent of Circe. Elaborating upon the cultural significance of the advent of Islam in India, he has stated that unlike all previous conquests:
the Muslim conquest of India could not be made innocuous for the Hindus through the caste system. The conquest was an extension into a new country of a well-established and mature society, with a fully developed way of life and a living culture. What was even more important was the fact the Muslims were not barbarians at a low level of culture who would consider admission to the Hindu fold as a promotion. On the contrary, not only were they themselves the creators and defenders of a new and aggressive culture. They were the first people in history to put forward the idea of an irreconcilable conflict between a particular way of life and all others, and to formulate a theory of permanent revolution.
In order to avoid this “irreconcilable conflict” and to avoid the perpetual civil war going on between the two communities, Iqbal formulated the theory of a separate Muslim nationalism and demanded separate and sovereign Muslim homelands in the Indian sub-continent. This concept of separate Muslim nationalism in India is organically related to the concept of composite Muslim nationalism in Middle East.
Iqbal is of the view that in the countries where Muslims are in majority and the minorities there, are monotheists sharing the same world-view with the Muslim majority, “there is no conflict between Islam and nationalism”. He advised “the Muslim leaders and politicians” not to be “carried away by the subtle but placid arguments that Turkey and Iran and other Muslim countries are progressing on national, i. e. territorial lines”. Muslim India cannot follow the ideals of territorial nationalism because:
The Muslims of India are differently situated. The countries of Islam outside India are practically wholly Muslim in population. The minorities there belong, in the language of the Qur’an, “to the people o f the Book”. There are no social barriers between Muslims and the “people of the Book”. A Jew or a Christian or a Zoroastrian does not pollute the food of a Muslim by touching it, and the law of Islam allows inter-marriage with the “people of the Book”. Indeed the first practical step that Islam took towards the realization of a final combination of humanity was to call upon peoples possessing practically the same ethical ideal to come forward and combine. The Qur’an declares: “O people of the Book! Come, let us join together on the word (Unity of God), that is common to us all.
The basis of Iqbal’s concept of nationalism is derived from the Qur’an. The unifying principle is the common word (Tawhid: belief in one God). The Qur’an urges upon, again and again, the spiritual harmony of the people of the book. I am tempted here to the Qur’an:
1. Say [to the Jews and Christians], we [Muslims] believe in that which was revealed to us as well as that which was revealed to you. Our God and your God is one and the same. We all submit to Him (Qur’an 29:46).
2. Say, we [Muslims] believe in God, in what He revealed to us, to Ibrahim, Isma‘il, Ishaq,Ya‘qub and the tribes, to Moses, Jesus and all the revelations of the Prophets-without discriminating between them. To God we submit (Qur’an 2:136).”
Iqbal’s rationale is rooted in Muslim history, as well. History bears witness to the phenomenon that during the hay day of Muslim civilization, spiritual was the order of the day. Tracing the origins of the academic discipline of comparative religion (Ilm al Milal wal Nihal), Isma’il R. al Faruqi states that:
In the early Middle Ages, the caliphal courts of Damascus, Baghdad and Cordova witnessed countless meetings of Jews, Christians and Muslims in which the learned adherents debated the three faiths. The reigning culture gave such honour to the three religions, such respect to their principles and institutions, that inter-religious debate was the subject of salon conversation, a public pastime.
The most recent testimony to this fact comes from Karen Armstrong. While delivering the first Fazlur Rahman Memorial Lecture in Oxford, she has correctly observed that “in the Islamic empire, Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians enjoyed religious freedom. This reflected the teaching of the Koran, which is a pluralistic scripture, affirmative of other traditions. Muslims are commanded by God to respect the “People of the Book”, and reminded that they share the same beliefs and the same God. Constantly the Koran explains that Mohammad has not come to cancel out the revelations brought by Adam, Abraham, Moses or Jesus.”
In the light of the foregoing, Iqbal’s concept of Muslim nationhood is aimed at the final unity of mankind. Reconstructing Muslim political theory in the context of modern nationalist ideals, Iqbal formulates a new theory of composite nationalism of the followers of Abrahamic Faiths (Millat-i-Ibrahimi). He even widens the scope of his theory to include it its fold Zoroastrians and others possessing the same word-view. In reply to the questions raised by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, in his three articles published in the Modern Review (Calcutta), Iqbal stated categorically that:-
Nationalism in the sense of love of one’s country and even readiness to die for its honour is a part of the Muslim’s faith: it comes into conflict with Islam only when it begins to play the role of a political concept and claims to be a principle of human solidarity, demanding that Islam should recede to the background of a mere private opinion and cease to be a living factor in the national life. In Turkey, Iran, Egypt and other Muslim countries it will never become a problem. In these countries Muslims constitute an overwhelming majority and their minorities, i. e., Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians, according to the law of Islam, are either “People of the Book” or “like the People of the Book” with whom the law of Islam allows free social relations including matrimonial alliances. It becomes a problem for Muslims only in countries where they happen to be in a minority, and nationalism demands their complete self-effacement. In majority countries Islam accommodates nationalism; for there, Islam and nationalism are practically identical; in minority countries it is justified in seeking self-determination as a cultural unit. In either case, it is thoroughly consistent with itself.
This Qur’anic ideal of “the final unity of humanity” could not be realized so far, because of “the wars of Islam and Christianity. And later, European aggression in its various forms, could not allow the infinite meaning of “the Qur’anic verses, quoted above, “to the countries of Islam in the shape of what is called Muslim Nationalism.”
Iqbal has finally an irrevocably rejected hereditary kingship as well as theocracy as contrary to the original spirit of Islam. He regards “spiritual democracy” as “the ultimate aim of Islam”. In his Ilahabad address he has stated categorically that in the separate Muslim homelands of his dream spiritual pluralism is going to be the order of the day:
Nor should the Hindus fear that the creation of autonomous Muslim States will means the introduction of a kind of religious rule in such States. The truth is that Islam is not a church. It is a State conceived as a contractual organism long before Rousseau ever thought of such a thing and animated by an ethical ideal which regards man not as an earth-rooted creature, defined by this or that portion of the earth, but as spiritual being understood in terms of a social mechanism and possessing rights duties as a living in that mechanism. (p. 172)
Muslim nationalism is a tolerant, liberal and humanistic political and social creed. Referring to the teachings of the Qur’an, Iqbal declared that “a community which is inspired by feelings of ill-will towards other communities is low and ignoble. I entertain the highest respect for the customs, laws, religious and social institutions of other communities. Nay, it is my duty according to the teaching of the Qur’an, even to defend their places of worship, if need be. Yet I love the communal group which is the source of my life and behaviour and which has formed me what I am by giving me its religion, its literature, its thought, its culture and thereby recreating its whole past as a living operative factor in my present consciousness. The concept of Muslim nationhood is thus inspired by the profound love with ones own community i. e. the Muslim community, and immense respect for all other communities.
This divinely inspired ideology of the “essential unity of humanity” could not be translated into actuality, yesterday, because of the crusades and later on, by the “European imperialist encroachment, in its various forms, on Muslim soil”. It remains an unrealized ideal even today as a result of a fresh onslaught of the western hegemony.
{EOP}Whay Qazzafi was Targeted ? He was about to intorduce Golden Dinar
Some believe it is about protecting civilians, others say it is about oil, but some are convinced intervention in Libya is all about Gaddafi’s plan to introduce the gold dinar, a single African currency made from gold, a true sharing of the wealth.
“It’s one of these things that you have to plan almost in secret, because as soon as you say you’re going to change over from the dollar to something else, you’re going to be targeted,” says Ministry of Peace founder Dr James Thring. “There were two conferences on this, in 1986 and 2000, organized by Gaddafi. Everybody was interested, most countries in Africa were keen.”
Gaddafi did not give up. In the months leading up to the military intervention, he called on African and Muslim nations to join together to create this new currency that would rival the dollar and euro. They would sell oil and other resources around the world only for gold dinars.
It is an idea that would shift the economic balance of the world.
A country’s wealth would depend on how much gold it had and not how many dollars it traded. And Libya has 144 tons of gold. The UK, for example, has twice as much, but ten times the population.
“If Gaddafi had an intent to try to re-price his oil or whatever else the country was selling on the global market and accept something else as a currency or maybe launch a gold dinar currency, any move such as that would certainly not be welcomed by the power elite today, who are responsible for controlling the world’s central banks,” says Anthony Wile, founder and chief editor of the Daily Bell
“So yes, that would certainly be something that would cause his immediate dismissal and the need for other reasons to be brought forward from moving him from power.”
And it has happened before.
In 2000, Saddam Hussein announced Iraqi oil would be traded in euros, not dollars. Some say sanctions and an invasion followed because the Americans were desperate to prevent OPEC from transferring oil trading in all its member countries to the euro.
A gold dinar would have had serious consequences for the world financial system, but may also have empowered the people of Africa, something black activists say the US wants to avoid at all costs.
“The US have denied self-determination to Africans inside the US, so we are not surprised by anything the US would do to hinder the self-determination of Africans on the continent,” says Cynthia Ann McKinney, a former US Congresswoman.
The UK’s gold is kept in a secure vault somewhere in the depths of the Bank of England. As in most developed countries, there is not enough to go around.
But that is not the case in countries like Libya and many of the Gulf States.
A gold dinar would have given oil-rich African and Middle Eastern countries the power to turn around to their energy-hungry customers and say: “Sorry, the price has gone up, and we want gold.”
Some say the US and its NATO allies literally could not afford to let that happen.

{EOP}Why Pak Media Ignored Anti-CIA Protest?
While there are many hardworking journalists in the Pakistani media, this media is yet to develop a sense of perception, which means looking into the future beyond the immediate headlines of the day.
When PPP and PMLN were running for elections in March 2008, Pakistani media refused to ask these two parties any tough questions about their long record of failed politics. The media gave these two parties an easy time. Journalists were focused on only one thing: the exit of Musharraf. While that was a worthy story, the media failed in its duty to check the record of those whom it was promoting as alternatives.
The same thing happens in the case of PTI's sit-in in Peshawar. For the first time since 2002, ordinary Pakistanis come out of their homes and block NATO supply line. This was a major story. But our media generally ignored it. Why? Because PTI boycotted the 2008 elections and the party is not in the parliament and wields no power. Many of our media men and women depend on maintaining good relations with some politicians either because of bias or for indirect benefit or gain. So everyone in the media is focused on what the politicians in parliament are saying. No one is interested in PTI or the drones because, well, PTI can't offer journalists favors because it is not in power.
That's why most of the Pakistani media ignored the sit-in in Peshawar on the first day, on 23 April.
But everyone in our media sat up and noticed when elected politician and those parties that are considered to be well established, participated in the second day of the sit-in. The parties did this because of the tremendous response that PTI generated among ordinary Pakisanis, and everyone wanted a piece of the pie.
This is realistic and unfortunate aspect of our media. But I hope our media will drw some lessons from its coverage of the sit-in.

{EOP}Pakistan to revisit terror strategy, ties with USZ; to get 10 state-of-the-art radar systems from China
BEIJING - Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani Thursday said the United States had assured Pakistan of no more unilateral action and only joint operations would be conducted in future. Speaking at a Peking University ceremony to commemorate 60th year of Sino-Pak diplomatic relations, Mr Gilani said Pakistan has decided to revisit its strategy in the war on terror and its relations with the USZ. He said this while referring to the resolution adopted by the Parliament. Gilani said Pakistan will always hold Beijing’s support in highest esteem because China was the first and the only country that supported Pakistan in trying period of its history when America violated our sovereignty. “We can trust China for all times to come”, he said. Recalling statement of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao during his visit to Pakistan in which he said the bilateral bonds between the two neighbours were time-tested and all weather, Mr Gilani said: “I have improvised it and I say: Our relations are taller than mountains, deeper than sea, strong as steel and sweet as honey”. This assertion received loud applause.
The PM said from the leadership to grass-root level this strong feeling is felt among masses equally which provide a strong base to understanding each other‘s problems better. He said my message on the occasion of celebrating 2011 as the year of Sino-Pak ties should also be treated as year of the youth. Mr Gilani said terrorism and extremism were a global issue and a united approach was the need of the hour to overcome the menace. He said Pakistan was caught in a strange situation. “We are neighbour of Afghanistan with which we have a very long border. In our attempt to fight terrorism, we have rendered unmatched sacrifices in terms of human resource and financial losses. 5000 para-military troops and officers were martyred while 35,000 innocent civilians were killed either during fighting with terrorists or by drone attacks. Afghan war that led to dismemberment of the former Soviet Union left 3.5 million Afghan refugees for Pakistan to host. All Nato forces put together had not suffered as much human losses as much Pakistan did. There is no single country that has suffered so much as Pakistan We paid a very heavy price”, he said.
The PM said the world community should recognize Pakistan’s contribution in international war on terror in a similar manner in which China has done. “No one alone can stabilize Afghanistan without Pakistan’s help. We are not part of the problem. We are part of the solution”, he argued. Replying to questions from the audience mainly students from various faculties, the Prime Minister said Pakistan has long been condemning the CIA-led drone attacks in the Fata region and consider these raids as violation of sovereignty. He said an in-camera session of the Parliament was recently held and MPs unanimously condemned drone attack and a resolution was passed asking the government to convey to the USZ that such attacks were counter-productive. Dispelling the perception that Osama Kill Operation was conducted in connivance with Islamabad, he said Pakistan has informed the USZ that solo strikes like Abbottabad were unnecessary and in future only joint raids would be allowed. In this connection he said Pakistani and American policy-makers and experts were already in contact to formulate mutually acceptable solution.
Later, speaking at the China-Pakistan Entrepreneurs Forum, Mr Gilani called on Chinese firms to invest in his country’s energy sector, in a bid to boost a moribund economy hit by massive floods last year and weak Western investment.
“There is great potential for the participation of Chinese corporations in the development of the energy sector in Pakistan. This includes hydro, thermal and renewable”, he said. “I would urge Chinese corporations to focus on Pakistan in their strategic business plans.” Mr Gilani said the Pak-China economic integration was a strategic imperative that was why the Chinese corporate sector and entrepreneurs should focus on Pakistan in their business plans. “The idea is not only to develop mutually-beneficial bilateral economic cooperation but also to jointly promote intra-regional and trans-regional development partnerships”, he said, adding: “Our bilateral trade touched $9 billion last year. However, the scope of further growth is immense. Our two countries have set a target of attaining $15 billion trade in the coming years”, he added. It may be mentioned here that the Prime Minister will visit China Academy of Space Technology today (Friday). He would be briefed over latest radar system as well satellite technology. It is expected that Pakistan would get 10 state-of-the-art radar systems and other satellite technology.

{EOP}Keep hands off Pakistan: China blasts USZ
BEIJING - Telling America to respect Pakistan’s sovereignty, China Wednesday offered Islamabad ‘anything’ it needs to make defence impregnable and revive economy. This fresh approach would add new dimensions to the already time-tested brotherly bonds between the two brotherly countries in this region. This determination of Chinese leadership was fully demonstrated at the Great Hall of the People where Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani was received by his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao. Following the reception ceremonies, they rushed for formal talks. Wednesday’s discussions were held in three rounds. Firstly, Mr Gilani held 30 minutes one-on-one meeting with Mr Wen Jiabao followed by the respective delegations meeting for over an hour. In the third round, Mr Jiabao met members of the PM’s entourage that lasted for 35 minutes. Mr Wen Jiabao assured his Pakistani counterpart of China’s “all-weather friendship”.
The Chinese PM noted the role Pakistan was playing in countering terrorists and said that the international community should not forget the huge sacrifices rendered by Pakistan in the global campaign against terrorism and extremism.
After the talks concluded, an upbeat Mr Gilani held a briefing session with accompanying Pakistani journalists at the State Guest House. He said the Chinese conveyed a clear message to the USZ that:
A senior member of the Chinese delegation later informed Pakistan's Daily TheNation that Beijing would support whatever stance and strategy Pakistan would formulate to protect its national interests. As per him, China has also pledged to fasten the pace to fulfil its commitments in term of economic assistance, defence equipment, including the next batch of 50 F-17 Thunder aircraft. Pakistan Air Force already had a batch of 40 of them and they are essential part of Pakistani defences. The experts from two sides would meet with regular intervals and explore news areas of cooperation to make these ties models for others, the Chinese official said. Pakistan and China also inked three agreements on banking, economic and technical cooperation and extension of gold and copper extraction from the Saindak mines.
China also offered a 70 million RMB grant for flood reconstruction and a 100 million RMB soft term loan to Pakistan. Beijing has also decided to send officials of the procurement commission to place orders for Pakistani goods. A list of 286 items had already been handed over to China by Export Promotion Bureau. Three agreements were also signed Tuesday at a ceremony held at the Eastern Hall in presence of the two prime ministers. The two sides also agreed to continue close consultations on the developments in Afghanistan and resolved that Afghan people should be allowed to decide their future.

He said Pakistan and China would also continue consultations on the United Nations reforms agenda. “We have decided to put on fast pace the five-year development programme between china and Pakistan while final phase of negotiation on Free Trade Agreement would soon be started. The two sides would also work for a long-term nuclear cooperation agreement”.

{EOP}USZ used stealth drones to monitor OBL Circus compound
The CIA used sophisticated new stealth drone aircraft to fly dozens of secret missions deep into Pakistani airspace and monitor the compound where Osama bin Laden circus was held by the Zionist Jester Barack Obama, The Washington Post reported Wednesday. Citing current and former USZ officials, the newspaper said the unmanned planes, which are designed to evade radar detection and operate at high altitudes, conducted clandestine flights over the compound for months before the May 2 assault in an effort to capture high-resolution video that satellites could not provide. The aircraft, according to the Post, allowed the USZ spy agency to glide undetected beyond the boundaries that Pakistan has long imposed on other USZ drones, including the Predators and Reapers that routinely carry out strikes against militants near the border with Afghanistan.
“It’s not like you can just park a Predator overhead — the Pakistanis would know”, an unnamed former official was quoted as saying. The monitoring effort also involved satellites, eavesdropping equipment and CIA operatives based at a safe house in Abbottabad. The agency declined to comment on the story, the newspaper said. "The CIA’s repeated secret incursions into Pakistan’s airspace underscore the level of distrust between the United States of Zionism and a country often described as a key counterterrorism ally, and one that has received billions of dollars in USZ aid", the dispatch said. The aircraft can also eavesdrop on electronic transmissions so that USZ official could listen in on Pakistan's response.
Another stealth aircraft, a Black Hawk helicopter with specially designed cladding to dampen noise and avoid detection, was also used in the Abbottabad operation. But USZ forces destroyed it after a crash landing during the raid, leaving only a tail section behind. USZ officials noted that Predators and other non-stealth surveillance aircraft could have been detected by Pakistani radar and other systems at military and nuclear facilities near bin Laden's compound. The drones, which the Post suggested may have been Lockheed Martin's RQ-170 Sentinel model, can film at steep angles in all directions and so would not need to hover directly over their target.

The drones, which the Post suggested may have been Lockheed Martin's RQ-170 Sentinel model, can film at steep angles in all directions and so would not need to hover directly over their target.

{EOP}Pakistan enjoys full Chinese support against "terrorists"
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Jiang Yu
“Pakistan has made very important contributions in international counter-terrorism cooperation as well as rendered great sacrifices.” Beijing “unswervingly” supports Pakistan’s in its anti-terrorism efforts, she said. “Indeed, Pakistan is the victim of terrorism.”
Earlier, Pakistan's current traitor PM Yousuf Raza Gilani, who is on an official visit to reaffirm all-weather friendship, declared China Pakistan’s best friend. “We appreciate that in all difficult circumstances, China stood by Pakistan. China is a true and time-tested, all-weather friend,” said the PM. “We are proud to have China as our best and most trusted friend, and China will always find Pakistan standing by it at all times.”
Gilani’s visit is in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of Pak-China diplomatic relations and the Year of Friendship. He inaugurated the first International Cultural Forum in Shanghai during the day and addressed students of Peking University at a reception jointly organised by the Pakistan Embassy and the China Friendship Association. When PM Gilani arrives here in Beijing on Wednesday (today) to meet the Chinese leadership, he will apprise Chinese counterpart, Premier Wen Jiabao, of the prevailing situation in the region, particularly in the context of the American operation in Abbottabad and Indian PM Manmohan Singh’s visit to Afghanistan where he had declared Afghanistan his second home and extended USZ dollar 500 million assistance. The Indian penetration in Afghanistan is as much a matter of concern for China as it is for Pakistan. After the United States and Western European countries joined hands to prop up India as a counterweight to China in the region, it is incumbent upon the two neighbouring friends (Pakistan and China) to keep a close watch on the developments taking place so close to their borders.
India, which has opened over a dozen consulates in Afghan towns along the Pakistani border, has been evidently involved in the ongoing insurgency in Balochistan. It has been clandestinely funding separatists and terrorist elements to destabilise the province and spur the propaganda against the Pakistani armed forces. Highly informed sources say that a large number of CIA, Blackwater/Xe and RAW sleuths are in Balochistan to carry out terrorist activities and at the same time malign the Pakistani paramilitary troops. Both India and Afghanistan (the latter more covertly) have been providing
India and the United States of Zionism have also joined hands to misguide the world on the objectives of the Gwadar Port, with New Delhi colouring it to be a huge joint naval facility. Pakistan’s stance on the port is that it is being built to increase economic activity. However, once completed it would give China a shorter route to dispatch its goods to remote destinations. A diplomat in the Chinese capital informed this correspondent that the agenda of PM Gilani’s visit comprises sensitive issues and the meeting between the two premiers would not just be a photo session. The region is being threatened by the world powers and there is a dire need for Pakistan and China to take stock of the situation and put their act together before it’s too late, he remarked. He said having staged the unilateral Abbottabad operation to proclaim the killing of Osama bin Laden, as desired by the CIA and the Pentagon, the Americans and the Indians hand in glove the Zionists would be planning strikes on Pakistan’s nuclear assets.
“The Pakistani armed forces’ top brass already have growing fears. To counter such moves, no country except China and to some extent Iran would come to Pakistan’s rescue”, he asserted.
Premier Gilani’s entourage is being lodged at the Diaoyutai State Guest House located in the heart of the capital city.
The Pakistani delegation will enter into official talks soon after the reception ceremonies to be held at the Diaoyutai State Guest House. There is a heavy agenda for talks with Premier Wen Jiabao for which the two sides would be represented by the ministers and federal secretaries concerned. Another important item on the agenda is cooperation in the energy sector where China is already involved in a big way. Chashma-2 has been commissioned a week ago while work on Chashma-3 is nearing completion. China is willing to offer services for building new dams and raising the capacity of the existing ones. Prime Minister Gilani, during his stay, will also inaugurate the Sino-Pak Entrepreneur Forum providing a platform to business leaders of both the countries to do brainstorming for future projects besides finding ways and means to pace up the completion of ongoing projects in the energy and defence production fields.
PM Gilani was extended an official invitation by Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao during his visit to Pakistan in 2010. Premier Gilani will also hold a series of meetings on the sidelines with Chinese bankers to inform them of great opportunities available in Pakistan for investment. They would be apprised of Pakistan’s willingness to give their investment total protection and special concessions.
Defence analysts here are of the view that Pakistan may ask China to provide high-tech radar system to detect Abbottabad-like stealth operations that challenge sovereignty. Military experts from both sides have since been in contact.
Agencies add:
Prime Minister Gilani arrived in Shanghai on the first leg of his four-day official visit to China to discuss with the Chinese leadership ways to strengthen bilateral ties. The Prime Minister was received by Vice Mayor Shanghai Shahai Lin at the Shanghai Hongquao International Airport. The Premier was accompanied by Defence Minister Ch Ahmad Mukhtar and Law Minister Senator Maula Bux Chandio. Pakistan’s Ambassador to China Masood Khan said during Prime Minister Gilani’s visit, Pakistan and China would ink accords in the areas of economy, technology and defence. He said an MoU would be signed between the China Banking Regulatory Authority and the State Bank of Pakistan. He said both the countries would sign an agreement for economic and technical cooperation, while the specific areas would further be worked on. The two governments would sign an agreement on extending the Saindak gold and copper mining project up to 2017. He said the two countries are also expected to work out a pact in defence-related areas. He said both Prime Minister Gilani and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao would witness the signing of accords in Beijing.

{EOP}Israhell, Egypt attack Gaza bound Malaysian Aid Ship "Spirit of Rachel Corrie"
“In a subsequent communication from the boat, it would appear that Israhell sought the active collaboration of Egypt in the interception of the humanitarian mission to Gaza, involving prior coordination between the Israhellis and the Egyptian navy”, writes Michel Chossudovsky. On Sunday, the Israhelli military shot and killed at least 20 Palestinian protesters in Nakba rallies around the region. Ten were killed on the Lebanese side of the border after protesters approached a fence separating Israhell from Lebanon. In Gaza, demonstrators were shelled while in an additional ten were killed on the Syrian border. Nakba Day, or Yawm an-Nakbah, is an annual day of commemoration for the Palestinian people of the displacement that accompanied the creation of Israhell in 1948. In March, the Israhelli Knesset passed a law making observation of Nakba Day illegal.

{EOP}Israhell is Cancer that must be Removed: Nejad
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad branded Israhell a cancer cell that must be removed Sunday, after Israhelli gunfire killed 12 people and wounded hundreds as Palestinians marched in a mass show of mourning over the creation of the Jewish state.
"On the anniversary of this regime, people demonstrated in various places, but there were dead and wounded and this regime once again showed its real nature", he said in a television interview. "Like a cancer cell that spreads through the body, this regime infects any region. It must be removed from the body", he added. His statement came after earlier calls for Israhell to be wiped out. Palestinians on Sunday marched on Israhell's borders with Lebanon, Syria and Gaza to mark the anniversary.
Tensions along the Israhelli-Syrian frontier spiralled as thousands of protesters from Syria tried to force their way onto the Israhelli-occupied Golan Heights, prompting the army to open fire in one of the worst such incidents there since a 1974 truce accord. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Israhell would protect its borders faced with those who sought its destruction. More than 760,000 Palestinians - estimated now to number 4.8 million with their descendants - were pushed into exile or driven out of their homes in the conflict that accompanied the Jewish state's foundation. Figures from the UN agency for Palestinian refugees show there are one million refugees in the Gaza Strip, 750,000 in the West Bank, two million in Jordan, 475,000 in Syria and 400,000 in Lebanon. Meanwhile, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he has temporarily assumed the duties of the oil ministry, as the oil cartel OPEC prepares for a biannual meeting in Vienna.
"For now, I myself am the caretaker of the oil ministry", Ahmadinejad said in a televised speech late Sunday, without elaborating. On Saturday, Ahmadinejad dismissed oil minister Masoud Mirkazemi, alongside two other ministers, whose portfolios are expected to be merged with other departments as part of a cabinet streamlining. Then on Sunday, he appointed caretakers for the industry and social affairs ministries, but did not name anyone for the oil ministry which is to be integrated with the energy portfolio. His decision to take charge of Iran's most-strategic sector came shortly before the 159th OPEC meeting scheduled for June 8 in Vienna, where the oil producers are represented by their ministers. Mohammad Ali Khatibi, Iran's representative to OPEC, told AFP on Monday that the president would be eligible to chair the meeting. "As he is the caretaker of the ministry, he may attend the (ministerial) meeting", he said in a telephone interview. "But it is not customary... the president usually takes part in summits", Khatibi said, adding he was "expecting" the president to appoint a representative for the upcoming meeting.
Iran, the second largest exporter of crude in the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, currently holds the presidency of the cartel, a position it is holding for the first time since the 1979 Islamic revolution. The oil minister's dismissal also comes amid Ahmadinejad's efforts to change the structure his government, which has become the subject of a political showdown with the parliament. The conservative-dominated Majlis has argued it should be in charge of the streamlining operation, with some lawmakers criticising the disappearance of the oil industry.

{EOP}"Gen. Kayani to be made Supreme Commander" - Writ petition filed in Lahore High Court
A writ petition was filed in the Lahore High Court on Saturday, seeking directions to the federal government to transfer the powers of the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces to the Chief of Army Staff.
The petition, filed by Tehreek-E-Inqilab Pakistan chairman Rana Illumuddin Gazi advocate, stated the Pakistan army could not take prompt action to stop USZ attack in Abbotabad on May 2 because powers to make decisions for any such action vested with President Asif Ali Zardari, not with the chief of army staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. The petitioner made the Federation, the President of Pakistan, the ministries of foreign affairs, defence and interior respondents in the case. The petitioner said the defence of borders of the country would not be foolproof until it was in the hands of the army, with all powers consolidated in the chief of chief staff for prompts action, in case any attack on the territorial borders of Pakistan. He argued that Field Martial General Ayub Khan in 1965 was the Supreme Commander of the armed forces of the country when India imposed war on Pakistan, and he, taking timely decision, launched counterattack and frustrated the evil designs of the enemy.
He said that President Asif Ali Zardari was the supreme commander of the armed forces now and the Army was not fully authorized to take decisions regarding defence of the country. He said any delay in the decision-making by the President could harm the solidarity and defence of the borders; and the blame for failure to take timely action would fall on the army, not on the President in case any such attack comes from either USZA or India. He prayed to the court to accept the petition for regular hearing and pass direction to the Federation and the President of Pakistan to transfer the powers of the Supreme Commander of the armed forces to the chief of army staff immediately in the greater national interest. USZ ambassador persona non grata: A writ petition was filed in the Lahore High Court on Saturday, seeking directions to the federal government to declare the USZ ambassador to Pakistan persona non grata, recall the Pakistani ambassador to America, Hussain Haqqani, and stop transit facilities to the USZ until it seeks public apology on the Abbottabad operation.
The court was also requested to ask the government to refer the matter to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Barrister Javed Iqbal Jaffrey filed the petition and submitted that the USZ was bound to accept the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice under a treaty of friendship agreed in 1959.

{EOP}American terrorists using White Phosphorous Bombs on Afghan Civilians
Leaked documents have revealed that USZ-led forces in Afghanistan have made extensive use of white phosphorus bombs in densely-populated areas. A review of the Afghan military documents revealed more than 1,100 instances of USZ-led forces -- including Danish troops -- having used white phosphorus (WP) grenades, rockets and bombs, the Danish daily Information reported. According to one document, USZ-led forces fired 20 to 50 WP rockets at a single target. Many of the WP munitions have often been used in residential areas, the Press TV quoted the report as saying. White phosphorus is a substance that burns upon coming into contact with human flesh; it sticks to the skin and continues to burn as long as there is oxygen. The result is severe and possibly lethal chemical burns. According to international conventions the use of white phosphorus is to be restricted exclusively to areas that are not densely populated.
However, the leaked documents from Afghanistan indicate that the WP has been used as an attack weapon in populated areas, including zones where the Danish troops are deployed. The widespread use of white phosphorus by USZ-led forces has prompted concern among rights groups.
Amnesty International has also called for an investigation into the use of the substance in Afghanistan.
Military lawyer Rolf Verge at the Danish Army's Operational High Command (HOK) has confirmed that the Danish forces have been using white phosphorus, but he stressed that the WP is used only in a lawful manner.

“White phosphorus must not be used against civilians or in areas inhabited by civilians,” said Peter Vedel Kessing, a senior researcher at Denmark's Department of Human Rights.
Amnesty International has also called for an investigation into the use of the substance in Afghanistan.
“If talking about inhuman weapons makes any sense at all, white phosphorus certainly must belong to this category, since it leaves its victims in unimaginable pain”, Amnesty International spokesperson in Denmark Ole Hoff Lund said. “Therefore, it is important that the Danish military launches an inquiry into how and why” USZ-led forces have been using white phosphorus munitions, Ole Hoff Lund added.
