Manipulating "Eruption of Muslim Reaction"

As against the previous figure of 1.6 billion Muslims, the religion of Islam now has 2.1 billion followers. (religiouspopulation.com), and remains the fastest growing religion through conversions and births. But, the anti Islamic factors including the mischief, jealousy, enmity and grudge tend to keep building up simultaneously as well.

As usual, the politically motivated scenarios are employed, while freedom of speech works as an effective tool to design and fabricate a set of perfect-fit lies. Intriguingly, the movie - “Innocence of Muslims” has been produced under the pretext of freedom of speech. There might be hidden double standards depending on who the beneficiary really is.

Full of intolerable mockery and insults of the beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the disputed film has scripts of PG scenes that offer express or implied meaning aimed at misleading the non Muslims and disturbing the Muslims at the same time. The devilish video circulating on the internet under several titles - portrays the beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) with contempt.

In short, the controversial movie presents “Islam” as cancer. The Muslims are deeply offended as this amounts to direct insults to their faith.

Certainly, the ongoing drama has successfully resulted in stirring the International unrest in more than twenty countries. The suspect is a Californian resident is believed to be ( Egyptian Coptic Christian), who enjoys freedom of speech.

Surprisingly, Egypt's Prosecutor General has issued arrest warrants for seven Egyptian Coptic Christians and a Florida-based American pastor and referred them to trial on charges linked to the anti-Islam film which has sparked riots across the Muslim world. (Los Angeles Times). The prosecutor's office says the seven men and one woman, all of whom are believed to be outside of Egypt, are charged with harming national unity, insulting and publicly attacking Islam and spreading false information punishable by the Death Penalty.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula is believed to be behind the film and is among those charged, so is Florida-based Pastor Terry Jones, who was allegedly contacted by the filmmaker to promote the video.

The names of the others listed in the warrants were not immediately available.

A controversial Coptic cleric (known as Islam's top enemy) defends the disputed film. Furthermore, the preacher, Zakaria Botros Henein, owns a home in Huntington Beach, and his teachings influenced the Southern California men behind the anti-Islamic movie, according to Times reports. He is known for similar insults (as in the current film) to Prophet Muhammad. Henein has not been linked to "Innocence of Muslims," but the three disparate figures who have emerged as key forces behind the movie are all devotees of his views.

On the contrary, the mainstream Coptic leaders have denounced the film. For many Muslims, any depiction of the prophet is blasphemous. The caricatures deemed insulting in the past have provoked protests and drawn condemnations from officials, preachers, ordinary Muslims and many Christians. Similarly, the Muslim community strongly condemns acts of violence against the fellow Americans and the Westerners.

The US business interests and properties across the Middle East and North Africa, Australia, England, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Pakistan and many other countries have been targeted which is painful too.

Unfortunately, the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi killed the U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others who died when gunmen attacked the consulate and a safe house refuge in the eastern city.

Beyond doubt, the anti-Islam film is an act of grave provocation, nevertheless, the Muslim world including Saudi Arabia's highest religious authority have denounced the attacks on diplomats and embassies across the Middle East and declared such violence as un-Islamic.

 Great advice: The Saudi Grand Mufti called upon the international community to take all necessary steps to criminalize any act of abusing the great Prophets and Messengers such as Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them). And, the Muslims should never ever shed the blood of innocent people, nor should they vandalize properties or public institutions. He further reiterated that the hatred of Islam through such movies would not harm the great personality of the Prophet (PBUH) or any aspect of Islam but would only backfire on the people who spread venomous ideas. In fact, the enemies of Islam achieve their goals, when Muslims are extremely enraged in resorting to acts of violence causing severe damage to the image of Islam. Such irrational acts of the furious Muslims only please the enemies of Islam.

The devoted Muslims not only are upset on the killings of many thousands of Muslims during the armed adventures in the Muslim lands, but they also condemn any revengeful killing of the innocent non-Muslims.
The vulnerable embassy officials in the Muslim countries are on high alert. Anti-American violence has created another scenario for Mr. Obama who feels really challenged politically in wake of gearing up for the upcoming November election.

Yet, it remains highly intolerable as a handful of anti-Islamic hate-mongers in the West are getting away with insulting the most sacred symbols of Muslims under the pretext of free speech and the U.S. authorities are not investigating the film project itself. Even if it was inflammatory and did cause violence, simply producing the video cannot be considered a crime as the U.S. ironically has strong free speech laws.

Most importantly, while condemning the killings of four Americans in Libya, let’s condemn the killings of more than 100,000 innocent civilian lives (mostly Muslims) in Iraq and tens of thousands in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

For concrete results:

International community (the UN) must step forward to help the Muslim world by crushing the hate mongering against Islam. It’s about time to bring in some kind of forceful and viable enactment to strictly deal with the ongoing blasphemy  against Islam.  

Adhering to the principles of interfaith dialogue is a MUST for global peace and love.

Sleep Well, Live Well

Over a prolonged period of time, sleep deprivation becomes chronic which may lead to serious medical conditions including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and even early death. Although, those staying up late night - watching TV, staying out merry making or staying busy with computers are actually the most unfortunate vulnerable ones, yet they generate Economic Activity for Medical Physicians, Naturopaths, Homeopaths, and the Health Industry keeps booming. No matter what, out of naivety such people end up in "Saleep-istan" (Shahre khamoshan) on a much faster track, where the loved ones are already sleeping permamnantly.

Research shows: While sleeping, body of the living being produces extra protein molecules to provide safety against infection. These molecules empower the immune system to maintain cellular level against pollutants and infectious bacteria. Sound sleep eases the constant pressure on cardiovascular system by eliminating or minimizing levels of stress and inflammation in the body. With adequate sleep, blood pressure and cholesterol levels stay under control.

High blood pressure can be life threatening and  can produce wear and tear of the body leading to degenerate cells and speed up the aging process. Furthermore, adequate sleep slows the bad effects and encourages a state of relaxation and allows the brain to better process new experiences and knowledge. Thus, it helps to improve understanding and enhance retention. It helps regulate the hormones that affect and control appetite.

On the contrary, when body is deprived of sleep, the normal hormone balances are interrupted and the appetite increases. In fact, increase in appetite doesn't lead to a craving for fruits and veggies, but foods high in calories, fats, and carbohydrates are usually consumed.

Therefore, people with ‘sleep apnea’ and ‘disrupted breathing’ during sleep are more than twice as likely to develop mild thinking problems or Dementia compared to problem-free sleepers.

And daytime-sleep may dwindle memory and thinking skills, known as cognitive decline that particularly happens with older people.

Also, inadequate sleep leads to problems of judgment, mood, and ability to learn and retain information.

Proper sleep at night is vital for the longevity of life with better quality.  

Most adults need seven to eight hours a night but it varies from person to person. Some people may need 5 hours per night whereas others may need up to nine or ten hours of sleep for proper functioning.

During sleep, it’s a stress free environment which is absolutely vital for improving memory, control body weight issues, giving increased energy & productivity, improving heart & immune system health, giving a pleasant mood, and a longer life - of course.

Let's think about it, before it’s too late.

Pakistan Survives Against the Odds

Normally, September 6th is officially celebrated as Defence Day to commemorate Pakistan’s victory over 1965 Indo-Pak war. And, September 7, is celebrated as Air Force Day to pay tribute to PAF (Pakistan Air Force) for defeating IAF (Indian Air Force). However, in view of the current countrywide "unstable law and order situation," the celebration is limited to flag hoisting ceremonies, where the soldiers would salute the national flag to pay tribute to the war heroes for their dedication to defend the country. Beyond doubt, September 6, 1965, will be remembered for its uniqueness, as the whole nation including its military and civil society stood united to defend country’s frontiers. 

The IAF, out of desperation, bombarded a passenger train moving from Sialkot to Lahore, while the Indian troops were crossing over the international border at Wahga in violation of International law. Clearly, it was a launch of full scale attack on Lahore just to pursue agenda of subjugating the region.

The Indian Army Chief, Gen. J. N. Chaudhry was so confident of capturing Lahore, he couldn’t wait to reach for a large peg of whisky at the Lahore Gymkhana Club - the same evening. Yet, his soldiers couldn’t cross BRB canal (Lahore defence line).

Later on, the quickly deployed Pak troops around Kasur, Khem-Karran, Taran, successfully repulsed the Indian advance near ‘Rohi Nala.’ And, within next 24 hours or so, India launched the largest ‘Tank Battle of Chawinda,’ in Sialkot sector but faced severe retaliation from Pakistani forces. It’s known as one of the largest tank battles in history after the battle of Kursk in World War II. The initial clashes at Chawinda coincided with the tank battle near Phillora and the fighting intensified once the Pakistani forces at Phillora retreated. However, the advancing Indian 1st Armored Division was stopped at Chawinda. And then the Cease Fire ordered by the UNO ended the war around 22nd September.

Adverse effects of 1965 war on Pakistan: The economic progress of pakistan gained during the early 60s took a sharp nose-dive. Secondly, the war added to the growing anti government feelings in East Pakistan. Bengali politicians blamed the central government for not providing adequate security to their province. Sheikh Mujib-ur-Rahman was apprehensive of this situation and Indian involvement behind the scene fuelled the fire for independence. Dispatching terrorists to East Pakistan to incite a bloody civil war and crossing into a sovereign nation, breaking Pakistan were illegal acts of India which gravely hurt Pakistan. Demand for greater autonomy for East Pakistan finally ended up in 1971 tragedy, and India contributed as “mid-wife” to facilitate the pre-planned birth of Bangla Desh.

Difference:  In fact, during ‘1965 war’ the entire nation was united, whereas the divided nation was hypocritically fighting with itself during 1971 Indo-Pak conflict. Certainly, it provided a ‘win-win’ scenario to enemy (India) indeed.

Right of self defence: Pakistan's historic decision to explode six nuclear warheads on 28th and 30th May 1998 in response to “India's Megalomanic Show Off” by detonating five nuclear devices on 11th and 13th May 1998, are essentially courageous acts of deterring the enemy to engage in conventional warfare in future.

Fool proof security of the arsenal definitely angers the anti Pakistan forces. Only one route is left to destroy Pakistan and that is through carrying out complex proxy war (Guerrilla style). Therefore, highly trained "Non-Pakistani Commandoes" have been hired to destabilize the Muslim nuclear power.

Nevertheless, nervous are the patriotic Pakistanis who are concerned about the mushrooming growth of foreign commandos entering Pakistan through the unsecured Pak-Afghan border to carry out disruptive activity in military bases, while anti-Pakistan TTP (Tehreek-e-Taliban) is out disrupting civilian life. The well paid outlaws and mercenaries are a direct result of anti Pakistan elements seeking to create sectarian strife inside Pakistan.

Pressure tactics: Attacking Kashmiri Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus just to blame the Kashmiri freedom fighters and Pakistan  - has always been part of the Indian game plan. Moreover, the illegality of taking over Kargill and Siachen during the height of the Soviet war is also historical fact of foul play.

India smartly used the aftermath of 9/11 to demonize Pakistan and convinced the "Bush administration" to re-label the Kashmiri freedom fighters as terrorists.

The Pak-India “ill fated peace train”  carrying Pakistani passengers was mercilessly bombed by a serving Indian Army Major. The investigation officer Hermant Karkare and his team had enough evidence to indict the prejudiced Major who was found having committed the murders and  for having conspired to defame Pakistan. Yet, it's so sad, as Mr. Karkare was shot dead point blank from behind during the Mumbai Taj Hotel terror attack, and  the tragic incidence faded away. Though, Mumbai terror attack lacks substantial evidence, yet a media hype was created just to damage the image of Pakistan. Recently India is doing anti Pakistan propaganda using Hindu pilgrims. In short, India has been using every trick to build undue pressure on Pakistan.  

Fuelling the fire: As suspected, Balochistan troubles are foreign sponsored according to some reports. Afghan border areas are used as training camps - where the commandos and criminals receive refresher-training to put deep dents in Pakistan’s military and civil life. The professional criminals and mercenaries from Tajikistan and Uzbekistan with the help from local hypocrites are most likely involved in working for the hidden enemy. The terrorists go on bombing spree hitting mosques, attacking pilgrims; slaughtering children. They massacred innocent people and carried out precision attacks on Pakistani assets, government offices, military and intelligence sites throughout the country. God forbid- the groundwork is underway day and night to destabilize the country.

Either Drought or flood: The unlawful construction of dams in Indian occupied Kashmir has deprived Pakistan of its share of water leading to a countrywide drought sooner than expected. But, during monsoon seasons India loves to release water from its dams into the Indus causing havoc for Pakistan. Indian move to fill the Nimoo-Bazgo dam in Jammu and Kashmir is aimed at cutting off Islamabad’s share of water from the Indus River.

Pakistan’s economic misery is India’s economic prosperity, and the blame goes to greedy attitude of India.The Only Way Out: The Pakistanis must re-establish enthusiasm, unity, faith and discipline at all levels (first and foremost) to ward off any “anti Pakistan nefarious design.” Secondly, the route of "Result Oriented Dialogue" is much better option. It's more economical and remedial compared with military aggression and proxy wars.
