Hajj - The biggest Spritual Journey on Earth

Peace be upon you!


Nearly three million (30 Lakhs) Muslims from around the world, chanting "Here I am at Thy service O Lord, here I am. Here I am at Thy service and Thou hast no partners. Thine alone is All Praise and All Bounty, and Thine alone is The Sovereignty. Thou hast no partners." " and raising their hands to heaven, marched through a desert valley outside Mecca in Saudi Arabia today on the first day of the annual hajj pilgrimage.

Dressed in seamless white robes symbolising the equality of mankind under God, the pilgrims hiked through the eight-mile valley to Mina, starting a series of rituals in which they cleanse themselves of sin.

"For us it is a vacation away from work and daily life to renew yourself spiritually, " said Ahmed Karkoutly, an American doctor from Brownsville, Texas. "You feel you part of a universe fulfilling God's will. It's a cosmic motion, orbiting the Kaaba."

Former Priest Describes His 'Spiritual Journey'

Arab News



Ali Guatemala


JEDDAH, 29 December 2007 — Many new Muslims came to perform Haj this year to strengthen their faith by undertaking the spiritual journey. Some came as guests of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah, some with the financial support of philanthropists and charitable organizations and others on their own.

Ali Guatemala, a former priest, came to perform Haj along with 17,000 other US Muslims.

According to a report in Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, Severedoo Royes (Ali's Christian name) was attracted to Islam after he read the opening verse in the chapter Al-Baqara (The Cow) of the Holy Qur'an.

He said conversion to Islam had changed his whole life. "After graduating from the seminary, I worked as a priest in Queen City, southern United States, and I used to engage in missionary work inside prisons," said Ali.

In order to improve his missionary skills, Royes started reading books on other religions, including the Holy Qur'an. "It was a turning point in my life," he said.

"When I read the first verse of Chapter Al-Baqara: 'This Book, there is no doubt in it, is a guidance to the pious,' it struck my mind. I pondered about this verse, which gave me the impression that the author was speaking clearly and definitely without having any doubt."

Ali said he had found a lot of contradictions in Christianity while studying at the seminary, adding that senior priests were unable to provide satisfactory answers to his questions.

"They advised me not to read the Qur'an, branding it Satan's work. This increased my interest in the Qur'an and I found that it was not the work of a human being," he said.


""As time passed by I became increasingly convinced that the Qur'an is truly a divine revelation, inimitable and impossible to be the work of any human being.
"I went through a turbulent period of inner conflict but I was firm in my prayers that the Almighty should guide me to the true religion. "


Guatemala prayed to God to show him the right path. "One day, when I left home I found a man in thobe going to the mosque for prayer. His name was Salim Baaqeel. I went with him to the mosque and noticed that there are no ceremonial rituals in Muslim prayers as in Christianity... After that I visited the mosque daily for a week," he explained.

"While I was sitting in the mosque, a person came to me and offered to teach me how to do 'wudu' (ablution). I thought that it was a kind of black magic but he explained to me that it was for purification before prayer. On that day I declared my decision to embrace Islam at the mosque," he added.

Ever since he became a Muslim, Ali has been facing a lot of pressure from his family, including his sister, who is Jewish. "She used to frighten me by saying that Muslims would kill me... Her attitude changed after she observed positive changes in my life. When I informed her about my plan to perform Haj, she asked me to bring a souvenir from Makkah for her," he said.

Haj was a wonderful experience for Guatemala. "I consider this spiritual journey as the best days in my life. It gave me great pleasure when I learned that the places where I spent during Haj had the footprints of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). I cannot explain my strong feelings when I saw the Holy Kaaba for the first time with my naked eyes."

Abdul Qader, Abdul Rahman and Abdul Raheem — three former African priests — also performed Haj this year. They converted to Islam after they understood the truthfulness of the religion during a debate with a preacher called Qamar Hussein.

The debate, attended by 5,000 people, led to 147 people embracing Islam, according to Al-Jazriah Arabic daily.

The former priests said they were enthralled seeing the amazing scenes of unity and equality among Muslims during the Haj. They came to perform Haj with the support of the Riyadh-based International Authority for Introducing Islam.

"It's good news that these three priests came to the fold of Islam as a result of the efforts of one of our preachers," said Saleh Abdul Wahid, the authority's executive director.


There is no doubt
[003:025] But how (will they fare) when we gather them together against a day about which there is no doubt, and each soul will be paid out just what it has earned, without (favour or) injustice?

[004:087] God! There is no god but He: of a surety He will gather you together against the Day of Judgment, about which there is no doubt. And whose word can be truer than God's?

[006:012] Say: "To whom belongeth all that is in the heavens and on earth?" Say: "To God. He hath inscribed for Himself (the rule of) Mercy. That He will gather you together for the Day of Judgment, there is no doubt whatever. It is they who have lost their own souls, that will not believe.

[010:037] This Quran is not such as can be produced by other than God; on the contrary it is a confirmation of (revelations) that went before it, and a fuller explanation of the Book - wherein there is no doubt - from the Lord of the worlds.

[017:099] See they not that God, Who created the heavens and the earth, has power to create the like of them (anew)? Only He has decreed a term appointed, of which there is no doubt. But the unjust refuse (to receive it) except with ingratitude.

[018:021] Thus did We make their case known to the people, that they might know that the promise of God is true, and that there can be no doubt about the Hour of Judgment. Behold, they dispute among themselves as to their affair. (Some) said, "Construct a building over them": Their Lord knows best about them: those who prevailed over their affair said, "Let us surely build a place of worship over them."


[032:002] (This is) the Revelation of the Book in which there is no doubt,- from the Lord of the Worlds.


[042:007] Thus have We sent by inspiration to thee an Arabic Quran: that thou mayest warn the Mother of Cities and all around her,- and warn (them) of the Day of Assembly, of which there is no doubt: (when) some will be in the Garden, and some in the Blazing Fire.

[043:061] And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me: this is a Straight Way.

[045:026] Say: "It is God Who gives you life, then gives you death; then He will gather you together for the Day of Judgment about which there is no doubt": But most men do not understand.

[045:032] "And when it was said that the promise of God was true, and that the Hour- t here was no doubt about its (coming), ye used to say, 'We know not what is the hour: we only think it is an idea, and we have no firm assurance.'"

[074:031] And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers,- in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith,- and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth God intend by this ?" Thus doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than awarning to mankind.

Possible Cure to Shiaa & Sunnee Disputes

BIG Shame on those who don't take Guidance from the Quraan

Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people took this Quraan for just foolish nonsense." (Al_Quraan_025. 030)

---

You Hear it or Read it that is it, now it is between you and Allah:

…It is Thy duty ONLY to convey the message (unto them as is). (Al_Quraan_003. 020)

 

The best friends are not those who just claps on your every act, BUT actually are those who analyze your acts and not only encourages on your good acts BUT points on your mistakes in a positive manner. One of the past time scholars said, if you really want to be successful to go to Heaven, then come under the scholar's teaching, so that he can help you to come out of the mistakes. If you cannot find a good scholar, then make a good friend, so he may help you and point on your mistakes. Remember, those are not good friends who just claps on your each act and eat with you then runaway, since they are very dangerous and cannot help you to filter your mistakes. OR at least listen to your enemy, who will keep pointing on you negatively, then just make sure do you really have that error, if yes, then correct that according to the Quraan and Authentic Sunnah.

Before it wasn't so bad BUT now Shiaas and Sunnees are attacking on each other and is getting more and more violent and bloody, which is a BIG SHAME and CURSE on those who are doing this SHAMEFUL act. What justification they will give when Allah will ask on the day of judgment regarding destroying Masjids and many innocent people which include kids and women.

Keep in Mind:

Shiaa & Sunnee both believes on one Allah, One Quraan and Prophet Mohammad (saw) as last and final messenger. ALSO they both build Masjids to worship Allah alone. Those who destroy the Masjid regardless of Shiaa or Sunnee both may go to the HELLFIRE forever, unless they repent.

By Verbally saying slogans like "No Shiaa No Sunnee, Islaam is Unity", has Never worked before nor is working right now around the globe and may never work, ever. Also the concept that Shiaa is Right as well as Sunnee is right and both are right Never worked before nor is working right now around the globe and may never work, ever. Where ever there are any differences, either the first is wrong or the second is wrong or both are wrong and both can never be absolutely right on any dispute matters. Keep in mind if you have any differences someone else may take benifit from this dispute. We need to get the Guidance from the Quraan instead of making our Scholars (Ulemaas, Aulyiaas) our God.

 

Those, including Scholars (Ulemas, Auliyaas) who believe that every body is right, I have questions for them:

1>  Why Tsunamis hit badly on Ummah?

2>  Why Earthquakes hit badly on Ummah?

3>  Why Floods hit badly on Ummah?

4>  Why Cruel Rulers rule badly on Ummah?

5>  Why anyone passess by Spits on Ummah, Slaps on Ummah and even hits Big Punches on Ummah?

6>  Why all types of Disasters hit badly on Ummah?

Whether you believe or not, there are some SERIOUS issues, which cannot go away by closing our eyes. We need do table talk for that and everyone needs to be sincere to find the cause to resolve the issues according to the Quraan.

Generaly whenever any issues come, we just jump to ask Scholars (Ulemaas, Auliyaas) without asking where  that information is in the Quraan and blindly believe them, instead of checking their words from the Quraan. This type of Blindly Believing on Scholars may lead us to Shirk, please read my article:

 

http://www.geocitie s.com/noor_ ul_islaam/ 041-Aalim_ Scholar.htm# top

Where ever two persons come to live together, they will have some differences, BUT that should not break the boundry limits told by Allah as in the Quraan. Let us analyze two cases first, one is about unjust and the other is differences in belief:

 

Let us remember back in 1971, when there were unjust between East Pakistan and West Pakistan, although both have the same Sunnee belief, we got destruction and two brothers got divided. Our Great Enemy is only and only Shaitaan. He knows from where he can attack us. Remember, True Justice needs to be done at home, at work, in your Neighborhood, in the court, in the assembly etc. Let us see what Allah says in the Quraan regarding UnJust (UNBELIEVERS, UNJUST & TRANSGRESSORS all together).

 

Surely We revealed the Taurat in which was guidance and light; with it the prophets who submitted themselves (to Allah) judged (matters) for those who were Jews, and the masters of Divine knowledge and the doctors, because they were required to guard (part) of the Book of Allah, and they were witnesses thereof; therefore fear not the people and fear Me, and do not take a small price for My communications; and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the UNBELIEVERS . (Al_Quraan_005. 044)

And We prescribed to them in it that life is for life, and eye for eye, and nose for nose, and ear for ear, and tooth for tooth, and (that there is) reprisal in wounds; but he who foregoes it, it shall be an expiation for him; and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the UNJUST . (Al_Quraan_005. 045)

And the followers of the Injeel should have judged by what Allah revealed in it; and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the TRANSGRESSORS . (Al_Quraan_005. 047)

 

Whether we believe or not, there are certainly some differences in Shiaa's and Sunnee's Belief:

 

To come closer and reduce the differences, it is necessary to find the major differences first. Without knowing the truth about the differences, it will be impossible to come closer, since we will be blind. It is very painful to deal with such disputes, but we don't have any choice left, other than to come to the one common thing which is according to the Quraan. Scholars from both the sides MUST sit down and resolve our differences IMMEDIATELY and sincerely according to the Quraan.

Allah Ta`ala says, which is true for different sects in Islaam as well:

'Say : O People of the Book! Come to common terms as between us and you: that we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, lords and patrons other than Allah." If then they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we at least are Muslims, bowing to Allah's Will". (Al_Quraan_003: 064).

In the light of above ayaat, there could be three categories and first we need to one come to one which is common in both sects:

1>      Those issues which are common in both is the starting point to unite.

2>      Those issues on which Sunnees believe but Shiaas do not, have to be stopped in practice unless they present valid and clear proof from the Quraan.

3>      Those issues on which Shiaas believe but Sunnees do not, have to be stopped in practice unless they present valid and clear proof from the Quraan.

4>      One suggestion is to go to Makkah, the Center of Islaam and see how the local people over there in Makkah are performing that particular act on which both dispute for which you couldn't find any valid reason from the Quraan. e.g. To answer on How to offer Salaat, see the People of Makkah.

He it is Who has revealed the Book to you; some of its verses are clear revelations, they are the basis or fundamental (foundation) of the Book, and others are allegorical; then as for those in whose hearts there is perversity they follow the part of it which is allegorical, seeking to mislead and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation. but none knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rooted in knowledge say: We believe in it, it is all from our Lord; and none do mind except those having understanding. (Al_Quraan_003. 007)

But when our Clear Signs are rehearsed unto them, those who rest not their hope on their meeting with Us, say: bring us reading other than this, or change this, say: it is not for me, of my own accord, to change it: I follow Naught but what is revealed unto me (as is): if I were to disobey my Lord, I should myself fear the Penalty of a great day (to come). Say: If Allah had to willed, I should not have rehearsed it to you, nor would he have made it known to you. A whole lifetime before this have I tarried amongst you: will ye not then understand? (Al_Quraan_010. 015 – 016)

 

O you who believe! be careful of your duty to Allah and be with the true ones. (Al_Quraan_009. 119)

If you DIFFER in anything (Faith, Salaat, Sayaam, Zakaat, Hajj, etc. ) amongst yourself, then REFER to Allah and his Messenger, if you really believe in Allah and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for determinations. [Al_Quraan_004. 059]

 

Islaam gives permission to the Christians and Jews and other sects of Islaam to continue upon their religion but only if they remain subordinated to Islaam; pay Jizyah to the Muslims and maintain the peace. Islaam does not force the Christians and Jews to become Muslims and it also does not force the other sects of Islaam, as in the Holy Quraan it is said:

"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error." (Al_Quraan_002: 256).

Differences Between Shiaa and Sunnee
As for those who Divide their Religion and Break up into Sects, thou hast NO part in them in the least (Not Muslim any longer): their affair is with Allah. He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did. [Holy Quraan 6: 159]
And obey Allah and His Messenger and  do not dispute among yourselves, for then you will be weak in hearts and your power will depart, and be patient; surely Allah is with the patient. (Al_Quraan_008. 046)
	Shiaa's Beliefs	Sunnee's Beliefs
Shahadah: Declaration of Faith:	There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, 'Ali is the Friend of Allah. The Successor of the Messenger of Allah And his FIRST Caliph.	There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
Adhan: Call to Prayer:	Shiaa have a different call to prayer.	Sunnee have a different call to prayer.
Wudu:	Shiaa have a different method to do Wudu.	Sunnee have a different method to do Wudu.
Salaat:	Shiaa offer Salaat differently including placing the forehead onto a piece of hardened clay from Karbala , not directly onto the prayer mat when prostrating.	Sunnee offer Salaat differently.
Salaat:	Shiaa tend to combine prayers, sometimes worshipping three times per day instead of five.	Sunnee usually do not tend to combine prayers other than in the Hajj, so having five times a day.
Fasting:	Shiaa have different timings for Fasting.	Sunnee have different timings for Fasting.
Zakaat:	Shiaa have different Zakaat System.	Sunnee have different Zakaat System.
Hadeeth:	Shiaa have different Hadeeths	Sunnee have different Hadeeths
Imaams:	Shiaa BELIEVE that an Imam who is the successor of the prophet must be clearly and openly be appointed by the Messenger of God. Shiaa also BELIEVE that the prophet of Islam appointed all the twelve sinless Imams as his successor's, one after the other. These Imaams have direct knowledge from God, and their verdict is the verdict of God.	Sunnee's Imaams / Scholars are not like Shiaa Imaam. They are human being and may do mistake. "They have taken as lords beside Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah son of Mary, when they were bidden to worship only One Allah. There is no Allah save Him. Be He Glorified from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)!. (Al_Quran_009. 031)". O, You who believe! Fear Allah and be with those who are truthful (Guided Imaam or Scholars, not limited to twelve ). (Al_Quran_009. 119) .
Abusing Khalifas	Shiaa curse and abuse sahabas including first three Khalifas: Abu Baker (RA), Umar Farooq   (RA), Usman Ghani (RA).	The Sahaabah (RA) are those that transmitted the Deen to us. Sunnee love all Sahabah and all Khalifas, including Abu Baker (RA) {father-in-law of Rasool Allah (saw)}, Umar Farooq   (RA) {father-in-law of Rasool Allah (saw)}, Usman Ghani (RA) {son-in-law of Rasool Allah (saw)} and Ali (RA) {son-in-law of Rasool Allah (saw)}. Sunnee also love Hasan (RA) and Husain (RA). No Sunnee is Sunnee if he denies these fact. How come a Sunnee will not love those to whom Rasool Allah loved a lot. Rasool Allah loved his grand sons a lot.
Aisha (RA) Wife of Rasool Allah (saw):	Shiaa Curse Aisha (RA).	The Prophet (saw) has a greater right over the Mu'mineen than they have over themselves, and his Wives are their (the Mu'muneen's) Mothers. (Al_Quraan_033: 006)
Yaa Allah Help only:	Shiaa ask help from Ali (RA) by saying Yaa Ali Help.	It is Crystal Clear SHIRK (associating partners with Allah) to ask help from someone other than Allah, who is not in this world. According to Sunnee thought it is BANNED to marry aMUSHRIK or Mushrikah.
Seeking Help from those who are in the Grave:	Shiaa ask help from those who are in the Grave.	It is Crystal Clear SHIRK (associating partners with Allah) to ask help from someone other than Allah, who is not in this world. According Sunnee thought it is banned to marry a MUSHRIK . According to the Quraan: If you pray unto them they hear you not your prayer, and if they heard they could not grant it you. On the Day of Resurrection they will disown association with you. None can inform you like Him Who is Aware. [Al_Quraan_035. 014] .
Muttah: Temporary Marriage:	Shiaa permits Muttah - Fixed-Term Temporary Marriage.	Muttah (Temporary Marriage) is BANNED in Sunnee, since it is not in the Quraan and it opens the door for Prostitutes by fooling Women. Marriage between a man and a woman means to live together for their whole lives, unless there is no way to live together.
Question: on the Day of Judgment:	What could happen on the Day of Judgment, if the Sunnee Believe is CORRECT?	What could happen on the Day of Judgment if the Shiaa Believe is CORRECT?

Yes Shiaa believe in one God (Allah ), Yes they believe on Rasool Allah (saw) as last and final messenger of Allah, BUT still when the Differences are from A to W, I don't know how to unite them and who is getting benefit from our disputes . Look how Ummah is facing all sort of Disasters around the globe, including the Cruel Rulers.  Scholars from both sides MUST sit down and resolve our differences IMMEDIATELY.

I can only give the references from the Quraan:

'Say : O People of the Book! Come to common terms as between us and you : that we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, lords and patrons other than Allah." If then they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we at least are Muslims, bowing to Allah's Will". (Al_Quraan_003: 064).

In the light of above ayaat, there could be three categories and first we need to one come to one which is common on both sects:

1>      Those issues which are common on both that is the starting point to unite.

2>      Those issues on which Sunnees believe but Shiaas do not, have to be stopped practicing unless they present valid and clear proof from the Quraan.

3>      Those issues on which Shiaas believe but Sunnees do not, have to be stopped practicing unless they present valid and clear proof from the Quraan.

4>      One suggestion is to go to Makkah, the Center of Islaam and see how the local people over there in Makkah are performing that particular act on which both dispute for which you couldn't find any valid reason from the Quraan . e.g. To answer on How to offer Salaat, see the People of Makkah.

(Al_Quraan_003. 007)

Yes there will be Imaams / Scholars / Leaders / Auliyas in every age or time BUT not limited to twelve Imaams and we MUST be with those who are TRUTHFUL to protect and help the people through the Quraan and Authentic Sunnah.

O, You who believe! Fear Allah and be with those who are truthful ( Guided Scholars, Imaams and Auliyaas, not limited to twelve BUT are in every age or time ). [Al_Quraan_009. 119]

Allah Ta`ala says, which is true for different sects in Islaam as well:

If you DIFFER in anything (Faith, Salaat, Sayaam, Zakaat, Hajj, etc. ) amongst yourself, then REFER to Allah and his Messenger, if you really believe in Allah and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for determinations. [Al_Quraan_004. 059]

If then they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we at least are Muslims, bowing to Allah's Will. (Al_Quraan_003: 064).

Otherwise Allah Ta`ala says, which is true for different sects in Islaam as well:

As for those who Divide their Religion and break up into Sects, thou hast NO part (Not Muslim any More) in them in the least: their affair is with Allah. He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did." [Holy Quraan 6:159]

Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error. (Al_Quraan_002: 256).

Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion. (Al_Quraan_109. 005) .

And your Lord says: "Call on Me; I will answer your (Prayers). (Al_Quraan_040. 060)

(Ask Allah directly for all help. No need to do shirk. Only " Yaa Allah Help ")

For verily you (Muhammad) cannot make the dead to hear, nor can you make the deaf to hear your call when they have turned to flee. [Al_Quraan_030. 052]

If you pray unto them they hear you not your prayer, and if they heard they could not grant it you. On the Day of Resurrection they will disown association with you. None can inform you like Him Who is Aware. [Al_Quraan_035. 014]

(Even you cannot make them hear.)

We need to apply the Same Rules to cure our disputes among other sects like Berelwee, Deubandee, Aghakhanee, Wahabee, Ismailee, Ahle-Hadees etc., as well.

If Quraan cannot convince you nothing will, open your heart toward Allah, because to him will you return and if you haven't gone through the manual he has sent you and understood it properly, for sure Allah will not like it.

Verily Allah will never change the condition of a people until they (first) change it themselves. [Al_Quraan_013. 011]

And if you turn away, Allah will exchange you for some another people, and they will not be like you. [Al_Quraan_047. 038]

Seek forgiveness from Allah and come to the right path that Our beloved Rasool Allah (S.A.W.S) showed us. Don't follow other people as they will only lead you away from the truth.

 

To whom Allah has given the ability to Dawah, MUST start doing Positive Dawah now.

To whom Allah has given the ability to Speak, MUST start Speaking now BUT No-Violence.

To whom Allah has given the ability to Write, MUST start Writing now BUT No-Violence.

To whom Allah has given the ability to go on the Media, MUST start going on to the Media now BUT No-Violence.

To whom Allah has given the ability to do other Peaceful and Non-Violent things, MUST start doing Peaceful and Non-Violent things now.

Violence is Hurting Islaam Very BADLY .

Another propagandic video of TTP (indian and american agents)

All films al-Qaeda and the Taliban in several languages
http://www.jarchive.info/







Attacks that have continued across Pakistani towns and cities are being blamed on Tehreek e-Taliban, Pakistan's Taliban.

However, the group has issued its first video statement denying involvement in targeting civilians and has blamed external forces for at least two recent blasts.

Azam Tariq, a spokesman of the Tehreek e-Taliban, posted the video statement on YouTube on Monday.

The message refers to a bombing at the Islamic University in Islamabad, which the spokesman said was orchestrated to prepare the ground for a military operation in South Waziristan, a stronghold for Pakistan's Taliban fighters.

He also said his group had no role in the bomb blast in a Peshawar market that killed at least 100 people as well as an attack in Charsada, a town located in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province.

Tariq said Taliban attacks never aimed to target civilians, but that the explosions were linked to Blackwater activities in the country.

Blackwater is a private military and security company founded in the United States.

Propaganda war

Kamal Hyder, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Islamabad, said: "Even when those bomb blasts did happen, the Taliban denied they had anything to do it."

He said: "It was surprising to see that it [the video message] came up on the al-Sahab video. That is the Al-Qaeda wing of media publicity."

Blackwater has denied having any contracts in Pakistan.

Hyder added: "There is a growing anger among Pakistanis. If one looks at the type of attacks that have been taking place - indiscriminate attacks the first thing that came out, even reported by local media, was the blaming of Blackwater and other American agencies.

In a 'manual' which is officially to be released only to 'students from foreign countries on a case-by-case basis only', the US Army outlines a program of what it now calls 'irregular warfare', in fact US state sponsored terrorism, insurgency, and PSYOPS.

1-21. Waging protracted IW depends on building global capability and capacity. IW will not be won by the United States alone but rather through combined efforts with multinational partners. Combined IW [Irregular Warfare, euphemism for TERRORISM] will require the joint force to establish a long-term sustained presence in numerous countries to build partner capability and capacity. This capability and capacity extends U.S. operational reach, multiplies forces available, and provides increased options for defeating adversaries. The constituent activities of IW are:

• Insurgency.
• COIN.
• UW.
• Terrorism
• CT.
• FID.
• Stability, security, transition, and reconstruction (SSTR) operations.
• Strategic communication (SC).
• PSYOP.
• Civil-military operations (CMO).
  
• Information operations (IO).
• Intelligence and counterintelligence (CI) activities.
• Transnational criminal activities, including narco-trafficking, illicit arms dealing, and illegal financial transactions that support or sustain IW.
• Law enforcement activities focused on countering irregular adversaries.

1-22. The above list of operations and activities can be conducted within IW;...--Headquarters, Department of the Army, Army Special Operations Forces Unconventional Warfare, September 2008[PDF]

Ignoring 1) the mountainous body of evidence that US policy and the CIA, specifically, is the root-cause of the vast majority of the what is commonly called 'world terrorism'; and 2) the equally impressive body of hard evidence that 911 was an inside job, the Army cites 911 as the pretext by which the US should embark above the policy as outlined above.[See: Terrorism is Worse Under GOP Regimes ]

1-18. The 9/11 terrorist attack on the United States highlighted the increased danger of warfare conducted by other-than-state enemies. Recognizing that such irregular threats by nonstate actors would be a likely and even dominant pattern throughout the 21st century, national policy makers dictated that planners must analyze and prepare for such irregular threats. It was clear that previous assumptions about the terms “conventional,” “traditional,” or “regular” warfare, and reliance solely on a “regular” or “conventional warfare” doctrine were inadequate. IW was a significant theme in the 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review Report. In April 2006, the Pentagon drafted the execution roadmap for IW as a means of combating this growing threat from actions beyond conventional state-to-state military conflict.--Headquarters, Department of the Army, Army Special Operations Forces Unconventional Warfare, September 2008 [PDF]

Elsewhere, the document cites the threat posed to the US by "WMD—such as nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons. But I have yet to find a single word, phrase, sentence or paragraph in which the manual mentioned the threat posed the rest of the world by some forty years or more of US meddling, threats, covert operations, US sponsored assassinations, and overt threats of bombing and/or war and invasion. Instead, we get platitudes that are made absolutely meaningless by the remainder of this arrogant, imperialistic document.

A-64. Democracy and the protection of fundamental liberties were the basis for the creation of the United States more than 200 years ago. Since then, a central goal of U.S. foreign policy has been to promote respect for democracy and human rights throughout the world. The DOS— .. Promotes democracy as a way to achieve security, stability, and prosperity for the entire world. .. Helps establish and assist newly formed democracies. op cit

It is odd that as the US is said to be 'defending' Democracy, it is subverting it. It is said that the United States must be concerned about the possibility that terrorists may acquire WMD, ignoring the fact that the US leads the world in the manufacture, sale and distribution of WMD. Let's put this another way: the US military spending is greater than that spent by the rest of the world's nations combined.If terrorists should ever obtain WMD, the chances are good that they will get them from the US, perhaps with monies raised selling cocaine to the one of the largest drug dealers on the planet Earth: the CIA!

During the 40s and 50s, most of the public was unaware of what the CIA was doing. Those who knew thought they were fighting the good fight against communism, like James Bond. However, they could not keep their actions secret forever, and by the 60s and 70s, Americans began learning about the agency’s crimes and atrocities. (3) It turns out the CIA has:

• Corrupted democratic elections in Greece, Italy and dozens of other nations;
• Been involved to varying degrees in at least 35 assassination plots against foreign heads of state or prominent political leaders. Successful assassinations include democratically elected leaders like Salvador Allende (Chile) and Patrice Lumumba (Belgian Congo); also CIA-created dictators like Rafael Trujillo (Dominican Republic) and Ngo Dinh Diem (South Vietnam); and popular political leaders like Che Guevara. Unsuccessful attempts range from Fidel Castro to Charles De Gaulle.
• Helped launch military coups that toppled democratic governments, replacing them with brutal dictatorships or juntas. The list of overthrown democratic leaders includes Mossadegh (Iran, 1953), Arbenz (Guatemala, 1954), Velasco and Arosemena (Ecuador, 1961, 1963), Bosch (Dominican Republic, 1963), Goulart (Brazil, 1964), Sukarno (Indonesia, 1965), Papandreou (Greece, 1965-67), Allende (Chile, 1973), and dozens of others.
• Undermined the governments of Australia, Guyana, Cambodia, Jamaica and more;
• Supported murderous dictators like General Pinochet (Chile), the Shah of Iran, Ferdinand Marcos (Phillipines), "Papa Doc" and "Baby Doc" Duvalier (Haiti), General Noriega (Panama), Mobutu Sese Seko (Ziare), the "reign of the colonels" (Greece), and more;
• Created, trained and supported death squads and secret police forces that tortured and murdered hundreds of thousands of civilians, leftists and political opponents, in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Haiti, Bolivia, Cuba, Mexico, Uruguay, Brazil, Chile, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Iran, Turkey, Angola and others;
• Helped run the "School of the Americas" at Fort Benning, Georgia, which trains Latin American military officers how to overthrow democratic governments. Subjects include the use of torture, interrogation and murder;
• Used Michigan State "professors" to train Diem’s secret police in torture;
• Conducted economic sabotage, including ruining crops, disrupting industry, sinking ships and creating food shortages;
• Paved the way for the massacre of 200,000 in East Timor, 500,000 in Indonesia and one to two million in Cambodia;
• Launched secret or illegal military actions or wars in Nicaragua, Angola, Cuba, Laos and Indochina;
• Planted false stories in the local media;
  
• Framed political opponents for crimes, atrocities, political statements and embarrassments that they did not commit;
• Spied on thousands of American citizens, in defiance of Congressional law;
• Smuggled Nazi war criminals and weapon scientists into the U.S., unpunished, for their use in the Cold War;
  
• Created organizations like the World Anti-Communist League, which became filled with ex-Nazis, Nazi sympathizers, Italian terrorists, Japanese fascists, racist Afrikaaners, Latin American death squad leaders, CIA agents and other extreme right-wing militants;
• Conducted Operation MK-ULTRA, a mind-control experiment that gave LSD and other drugs to Americans against their will or without their knowledge, causing some to commit suicide;
• Penetrated and disrupted student antiwar organizations;
• Kept friendly and extensive working relations with the Mafia;
• Actively traded in drugs around the world since the 1950s to fund its operations. The Contra/crack scandal is only the tip of the iceberg –- other notorious examples include Southeast Asia’s Golden Triangle and Noreiga’s Panama.
  
• Had their fingerprints all over the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcom X. Even if the CIA is not responsible for these killings, the sheer amount of CIA involvement in these cases demands answers; [editor's note, see: Evidence That the CIA Murdered RFK]
  
• And then routinely lied to Congress about all of the above.
  

The Association for Responsible Dissent estimates that by 1987, 6 million people had died as a result of CIA covert operations. (4) Former State Department official William Blum correctly calls this an "American Holocaust."--Steve Kangas: The Origins of the Overclass

The US Army document, cited above, is an arrogant, imperialistic and ill-considered response to a growing 'threat' --but a threat that is posed only to US monopolists and death merchants, i.e., the Military/Industrial Complex, a fancy name for Murder, Inc. The US has, in fact, squandered the limitless goodwill that had been extended our nation at the end of World War II. The US has failed to make positive use of the world support for allied efforts to codify war crimes, to hold Nazi War Criminals responsibility for heinous crimes. But now --we have a recent US military document that the US Army would prefer to keep secret no doubt because it reveals to the world that those principles espoused at Nuremberg are either no longer operative or they were a fraud, the US didn't really mean it. Or perhaps they forgot to tell the world that the laws applied to everyone but themselves. The Army has now revealed to the world that no nation is safe from US terrorism, US attack, US subversion of indigenous cultures and governments, US bullying or the US use of WMD against them. That is because the US believes itself to be a world-wide empire, in fact, a single nation that presumes to rule the world.

The well-informed countries --western Europe --know perfectly well what our game is. General de Gaulle took France out of NATO because he suspected that we were in the empire--building business, and he didn't want to go along with it yet, simultaneously, France remained an ally in case there was a major war with the Soviets. I don't think we should take too seriously those eastern European countries. In due course, they will wake up, as Turkey did, that we are dangerous.--Gore Vidal, The Erosion of the American Dream

I have repeatedly stated that the US regime of George W. Bush was not legitimate. How can I make it any clearer? "Illegitimate" means that the regime of George W. Bush was no more legitimate than the crooked regimes of tin horn dictators in banana republics. The Bush regime differed little in terms of competence or statesmanship. Now, in a cynical document that the US Army had never intended be disseminated publicly, we have confirmation that the position of the US vis a vis the rest of the world is based not upon Democracy or legitimacy. It is, rather based entirely upon force, aggression and US terrorism.Addendum:

Is the United States going to put dictatorship into effect under the guise of the anti-terrorist struggle? What may trigger another major transformation in 2009? The answer is obvious: another 9/11 in the USA.

Terrible and bloody events are in store for the world in the beginning of 2009. Most likely, the world will witness a reality show with a nuclear blast, which will be used as a reason for the US administration to change the world order again and leave the new Great Depression behind. There is every reason to believe that the Russian Federation may suffer as a result of this possible initiative too.

Joe Biden made a sensational statement on October 19, 2008. He said that Barack Obama would have to undergo an ordeal during the first six months of his stay in the White House. It will be the time of a very serious international crisis, when Obama would have to make tough and possibly unpopular decisions both in home and foreign politics.

Biden said that there were four or five scenarios for the development of the international crisis. Afghanistan, North Korea or the Russian Federation may become the source of one of them.

When Obama learned of Biden’s speech, he tried to explain everything with rhetorical exaggerations. However, Biden’s remarks gave food for thought, taking into consideration the fact that former secretary of state Madeleine Albright described his remarks as statement of fact. --USA needs nuclear explosion to turn the world into dictatorship

Addendum:A comment amond several found on Buzzflash re this article:

But we already knew the US under sociopathic Bush is a terrorist nation..Bush,Rumsfeld,Rice,Hannity,Limbaugh,Cheney,Bolton,et al are all implicators in this world terrorism by threatening Iraq and Iran.It is certainly a terror to the Iraqui/Iranian people by the US.

My response is that it will be argued in 'defense' of the GOP that Bush, Rice et al were just an 'aberration'. But the SIGNIFICANCE of the Army document is that they were NOT an aberration. It's the MIC S.O.P.

As I have said numerous times: the Bush administration is illegitimate. Secondly, the MIC is a polite euphemism for a Murder Inc on an international, industrial scale. Death and destruction are the US's chief exports. Our currency is all but worthless and, like Rome when it invaded Dacia for its gold, the US invades other nations for its resources, primarily oil. At last, The US resembles Rome in that Rome subverted 'fair wages' with 'slavery', in effect, putting working people out of work for good! It became a permanent 'underclass'. The US has accomplished the same thing by enriching ONLY the uppper one percent of the population --a disparity of both wealth and income that clearly parallels that of Rome in its last throes.
