Following the Mumbai terror attacks, Pakistani security expert Zaid Hamid was interviewed by Pakistan's News One television channel; in it, he accused "Western Zionists and Hindu Zionists" of planning the 11/26 Mumbai attacks. He also warned that if the Indians attack Pakistan, the war will be fought within India, not on Pakistani soil. The interview was telecast 24 hours after the Mumbai terror attacks began. Zaid Hamid, a former mujahid who fought the Soviets in Afghanistan during the 1980s, is the founder of the Pakistani think tank BrassTacks.
Following are some excerpts from the interview:(1)
"[If] they thrust a war on us, then the war will be fought on the other side of the border, on their side [in India], not within Pakistan Insha Allah..."
"This is not the 9/11 he [George W. Bush] was talking about [recently], but the Indians have themselves always wanted to orchestrate a 9/11, to create the same drama [9/11] in which they could include Americans and Israelis. We have no doubt this was [the result of] a joint plan by Israelis, Americans and Indians – in other words, this was a joint plan by Western Zionists and Hindu Zionists; in it Israelis are directly involved, there is involvement of Mossad.
"The details that are coming up – see, if you look at the images, the terrorist they [Indian television channels] are showing firing in the hotel with machine gun in his hand, he has tied in his hand a saffron band of Hindu Zionists; Muslims do not wear this type of band [on their wrists] – their faces are like Hindus, the language in which they are speaking, this language no Pakistani uses."
"The big part of the game has slipped out of their [Indians'] hands. We have not seen a more badly planned operation than this [the commando operation in Mumbai hotels]. The 9/11 that the Americans committed, they very beautifully camouflaged that in the media; they did a better perception management of that, and the Americans created the pretext to thrust a war on Afghanistan by fooling the entire world.
"The Indians tried to repeat the same game; but [they don't] have intellect; these idiots made a complete disaster in handling this [terrorists' occupation of the hotels]. The game was exposed in the beginning itself, so that now they have lost the moral credibility. They would have probably promised to those terrorists that we will not kill you, we will arrest you, [but] now they are killing them and apparently they are resisting them.
"[With reference to] the attack on [the] Indian parliament: No one knows till today who were the attackers of the Indian parliament in 2001, what were their names, which group they belonged to, where had they come from. They use pawns, they use people, and later they kill them – whereas they would have in the beginning guaranteed to them [the militants of the Mumbai attacks] that we will arrest you alive.
"This is a drama that has gone wrong; now the Indian Army is trying to clear the mess they have created, this is too late; the world can see the game now."

And this one:
Amid growing tensions between India and Pakistan following the 11/26 Mumbai terror attacks, Pakistani nuclear scientist Dr. Samar Mubarakmand spoke of the readiness of Pakistani missiles and of their capability to target Indian cities. Dr. Mubarakmand, who has steered the Pakistani nuclear program for the past several decades alongside disgraced nuclear scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, expressed his views during a talk show. Following are excerpts from the interview, as published in the Urdu-language Pakistani newspaper Roznama Express: [1]
"Pakistan’s nuclear assets are in safe hands.
"Every Indian city is on the target of our missiles, and [Pakistan's] atomic technology is better than that of India. [We] can fire the missiles at only 10 minutes' notice...
"I am very satisfied with the defense preparedness. As long as [we] didn’t have nuclear weapons, India had a three and a half advantage [over Pakistan]. But this advantage was levelled when we conducted the nuclear testing.
"Following the nuclear testing, we tested missiles like the Shaheen, the Ghaznavi, the Shaheen II, and the Ghauri. After this, India’s tone and language [vis-à-vis Pakistan] changed...
"The nuclear tests carried out by India were of eight to 10 tons, whereas our [atomic tests] were of 25 to 30 tons, and the one we conducted in Kharan [Desert, in Baluchistan] were of 10 to 12 tons. This is why our weapons are better [than India's]...
"Our Shaheen missiles hit targets [during testing]; the world recognized their delivery system. None of India’s cities can remain safe from our missiles... Pakistan's width is less than India's, which is 1,200 to 1,400 kilometers. Therefore, no corner of India is safe from the Shaheen II...
"We have also developed cruise missiles. And Pakistan is the fourth country in the world to have cruise missiles...
"We should talk to India strongly... Even while giving the message of friendship, we should make [Indians] realize that we are not weak...
"Being a small nation, if we abandon the option... to launch a nuclear attack, then there won’t be any use of the second option. This way you end one advantage...
"Our missile system is ready, [and] can be fired in only 10 minutes - they are on the launchers..."

Taliban, Lashkar-e-Taiba Leaders Declare Readiness To Fight India In Event of Indian Military Action in Pakistan
By: Tufail Ahmad *

Introduction
In the wake of the 11/26 Mumbai terror attacks, there is a growing fear in Pakistan that the Indian Air Force may attack militant hideouts inside Pakistan, in a manner similar to the U.S. missile attacks on Taliban and Al-Qaeda safe havens within Pakistan’s tribal districts on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
On December 2, 2008, the mass-circulation Urdu-language newspaper Roznama Jang reported that the Indian Air Force may attack the town of Muridke, the headquarters of banned militant organization Lashkar-e-Taiba [1]. In Muridke, which is near Lahore, Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed is operating his organization under the new name of Jamaatud Dawa.
On the other hand, the Taliban commanders, who are currently fending off U.S. missile attacks and who have been bogged down in bloody fighting with Pakistani security forces for the past several months, are seeking a new opportunity for a ceasefire with the Pakistani Army following the Mumbai attacks.
Roznama Jang: Pakistani Army Calls Taliban Commanders "Pakistani Patriots"
The Taliban’s ceasefire offer has been welcomed by hard-line Pakistani Army officers who oppose the U.S.-led War on Terror. On December 1, 2008, Roznama Jang reported that several key Taliban commanders have offered to support the Pakistani Army in the event of any likely Indian attack on Pakistan. In return, Pakistani Army officials have called the Taliban commanders "Pakistani patriots."
The Roznama Jang report added: "As a positive sign that this ceasefire offer [from the Taliban] may be accepted, the Pakistani Army has, as a first step, declared to the media some notorious militant commanders, including Baitullah Mehsud and Maulvi Fazlullah, as 'patriotic' Pakistanis [2]."
Baitullah Mehsud and Maulvi Fazlullah are the key leaders of the Taliban movement in Pakistan. Baitullah Mehsud has also been accused of plotting the assassination of former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto.
The report further noted: "These two militant commanders... have invariably been accused of terrorism against Pakistan, but the aftermath of the Mumbai carnage has suddenly turned terrorists into patriots."
Over the past few days, a number of Taliban commanders and spokesmen have contacted different Pakistani media organizations to offer their support to the Pakistani Army in its stand against India. On November 30, 2008, Wali Muhammad, a spokesman for the Taliban (Mullah Nazir group) in Pakistan’s tribal district of South Waziristan, warned of suicide attacks in India in the case of an attack on Pakistan.
Muhammad, who is also known as Shaheen, added: "Our differences with the [Pakistani] government notwithstanding, if the issue is the national security, we have 500 suicide bombers who will enter India [3]."
Urging religious and political parties to end their differences and to unite to defend the Pakistani nation, the Taliban spokesman stated that 15,000 armed Taliban fighters would fight alongside the Pakistani Army against India.
Taliban Spokesman: "[The Taliban] Understand How To Defend The Line Of Control [In Kashmir]."
On December 1, 2008, Maulvi Omar, the main spokesman for the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, also warned India that the Taliban fighters will stand side by side with the Pakistani Army and the security forces in the event of a war.
Omar added that the Indian threats following the Mumbai attacks are aimed not at the Pakistani army and security forces, but at Pakistan as a Muslim country.
Maulvi Omar also threatened that the Taliban fighters could join the Pakistani soldiers on the Line of Control in Kashmir. He added: "The Taliban have been defending the Durand Line [Pakistan-Afghanistan border] with our own weapons, and [we] understand how to defend the Line of Control [dividing Kashmir between India and Pakistan] [4]."
Another Taliban commander, Maulvi Faqir Mohammad, who is senior deputy head of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, called the Pashtu-language newspaper Wrazpanra Wahdat from an undisclosed location to say that the fighters loyal to him are ready to defend Pakistan against any likely Indian attack on Pakistan [5]. Accusing Indian intelligence agencies of planning the Mumbai terror attacks, Maulvi Faqir Mohammad added that the Mumbai attacks were an attempt to defame Pakistan, and denied any Taliban involvement in them.
Khyber Agency: Ansarul Islam, Lashkar-e-Islam Offer Support To Pakistan
In Pakistan’s tribal district of Khyber Agency, there are two dominant militant organizations: Lashkar-e-Islam and Ansarul Islam. Both the groups have offered to fight alongside the Pakistan Army against India.
On November 30, 2008, Misri Khan, a spokesman for Lashkar-e-Islam, warned that in the event of an Indian attack, hundreds of thousands of Lashkar-e-Islam fighters will give an appropriate reply to the enemies of Pakistan.
Misri Khan added: "Our ancestors offered sacrifices for the defense of Pakistan’s borders, and Lashkar-e-Islam will not hesitate to make any sacrifice for the security of the nation [6]."
Similarly, Ansarul Islam, the second dominant group in the Khyber Agency, also announced that its fighters would defend Pakistan's borders against India.
On December 1, 2008, Ansarul Islam spokesman Mubin Afridi warned that thousands of their fighters are waiting for the Pakistani government's order to wage a war against India. He urged other militant groups to end their differences and join hands against India [7].
Jamaatud Dawa: The Time Has Come for the Infidels’ Atrocities Against The Muslim Ummah to End
Yahya Mujahid, a close aide to Hafiz Muhammad Saeed and a spokesman for the Jamaatud Dawa, told Roznama Jang that any aerial Indian attack on any of the Dawa-run religious seminaries and offices across Pakistan would be treated as an assault on Pakistani sovereignty. [8]
Hafiz Abdur Rahman Makki, another official with the Jamaatud Dawa, likewise warned that the Pakistani nation would not permit external conspiracies aimed at breaking up Pakistan to succeed. Addressing a gathering in Karachi, Makki accused international powers of trying to tighten the noose around Pakistan, and added: "The Ummah should unite; the time has come for the infidels’ atrocities against the Muslim Ummah to end [9]."
He also asked his followers not to run away from jihad if they did not have the capability to wage it, adding: "Acquiring capability and power is necessary to fight against the enemy. However, it is not correct to run away from jihad on this pretext [of lacking the necessary capability to wage it.]"

Blame the attack on Hindus, Jews, anybody but the real culprits: Pakistanis. All 10 terrorists were from Pakistan, trained by former officers of the Pakistani Army, equipped with weapons that the Pakistani Army uses, and given help by the same group of former officers. And yet Pakistan, and the larger Muslim world wants the rest of us to believe that this wasn't done by the nation of Pakistan.
I don't believe Pakistan for one minute.
Jewish response is quite different and doesn't have the venom that the Pakistani response has:
View at Aish
Will you sign the pledge?
One is a call to arms and violence, the other is a call to help others. One is a call for further violence, the other is a call for healing. One is hatred for your fellow man, the other is love thy neighbor.
Which one do you support?
3 comments:
Of course I support a call for love and healing as long as it comes from a position of strength. Otherwise it will be laughed at by the terrorists as mere weakness.
I don't know so much, but I do feel the Jewish hand is huge and comes down from high above when swung against the evil doer. maybe that's why they put up with sooo much, cause perhapes they {Jewish people} know that the punishment they can "HAND" out must be equal the crime. somebody is doing the math on this matter, and it anit the bullies who have been pushing the jewish people around. it's almost like watching a kid get badgered on the play ground for weeks and weeks until one day the kid blows up unexpectedly.
what that kid DOES sets a lot of bullied kids free, and the kid makes a lot of friends they never thought they'd have. I can just feel the clock ticking DOWN on this situation with the terrorists picking on the jewish people.
woe to the overbearing, weak intimidaters, that invites the "HAND."
I couldn't read the whole post Findalis, sorry but i can take only so much of their bloody excuse making, sick to the back teeth of it.
