There is a pattern. Every weeks weeks a new revelation comes to light about the Zardari Administraiton. It is a matter of record that Mr. Haqqani wrote the instrusive conditions into the Kerry Lugar Bill. By adding Presseler type of conditionality into the bill Mr. Haqqani opened Pakistan up to severe sanctions. It has recently come to light that Mr. Haqqani orchestrated the UN resolution against Pakistan giving the PPPP government the fig leaf to attack Pakistanis and implement the Neocon agenda in a hurry before President Obama takes office in Washington.
Indeed, Abdullah Haroon has committed the crime of treason against Pakistan by telling the UNSC, without any legal evidence or proof, that it should impose UN sanctions for the Mumbai attacks on JuD and Pakistani citizens based in Pakistan. Therefore, Haroon must be booked for treason, kicked out of the Pakistan Mission to the UN and prosecuted in an independent court of law for libelous defamation
against a Pakistani organization and Pakistani citizens.
PPP President Asif Ali Zardari appointed Abdullah Haroon, an incompetent politician and a failed diplomat, as the PPP’s “Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the United Nations” in New York, USA, on 3 September 2008, to stop any journalistic criticism against PPP leaders by the Dawn Media Group (DMG), because Abdullah Haroon is the elder brother of Hameed Haroon, the CEO of DMG; Publisher of the DAWN rag, DWS, Herald, Spider, Aurora, The Star; and producer of the Dawn News TV. The controversial, meritless appointment of Abdullah Haroon is a classical example of the PPP government corruption, nepotism and bribery to the DMG of Karachi, Pakistan.
Now read the following excerpts from the Asia Times Online news report to further understand the PPP’s sinister conspiracy against the JuD and the Pakistan Army: “Karachi [Pakistan] – The United Nations Security Council’s declaration this week of the Pakistani group Jamat-ud-Dawah [JuD] as a front for the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which is [illegally and maliciously] banned as a terrorist organization, marks
a major setback for Pakistan’s military establishment.
“The UN has [unlawfully and maliciously] subjected Jamat-ud [Dawah] to sanctions as a terrorist group, including an asset freeze, travel ban and arms embargo. Jamat claims it is a charity organization separate from the LeT, which has been [illegally, maliciously and fraudulently] linked [without any lawful proof or evidence] to the devastating attack on Mumbai [India] last month [November 2008] in which close to 200 people died.

Husien Haqqani once again exposed himself. For the past decade he has not been defending Pakistanis, Islam or Muslims. he has in fact been one of the foremost critics of Pakistan and Muslims. Over the years Mr. Haqqani’s “scholarship” is “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury” signifying nothing. Mr. Haqqani is not rally well educated or accomplished in anything but schmooze and opportunism. A former die hard Jamat e Islami member, then a virulent opponent of the PPP, Mr. Haqqani graduated to become a paid mule of the Neocons. He did not do any original research. Most of his “thoughts’ can be found in the scholarship of Dr. Steve Emersen, Dr. Daniel Pipes and Mr. Robert Schwartz. Some of these and others participated in the Islamphobic events held on campuses in 2007.
Mr. Haqqani’s narrative is “to blame Muslims and Pakistanis first”. He regurgitates the what sells. Right now Islamphobia is a growth industry so he writes and says what his target audience wants to hear. And who is the targeted audience? His audience consists of the Hudson Institute, AIPAC and JINSA from whom he received huge paycheck and speaking fees. Rupee News has listed the actual monies that Mr. Haqqani has received which is public information.
“The Pakistani [PPP] ambassador in Washington, Husain Haqqani, and Pakistan’s [PPP] Permanent Representative at the United Nations, [Abdullah] Hussain Haroon, took a pro-active role in soliciting the international community to help Pakistan. They got their message across and the UN aimed at the core of the discord by explicitly naming Jamat-ud [Dawah]. On Thursday, the sidelining of the [Pakistan] military establishment was complete. These developments are significant that the [Pakistani] military establishment, which has for so long dominated the affairs of state in Pakistan, has been outmaneuvered by the political [PPP Terrorist Mafia] Government.”
Husain Haqqani, a Pakistani diplomat and adviser to Prime Minister Bhutto is the co-chair of Hudson’s Centre on Islam, Democracy and the Future of the Muslim World. The Washington, D.C.-based Hudson Institute has its own of think-tanks with a diverse mix of Ceoconservatives and Pakistani Neocons. Hudson Institute’s CID was established by Hillel Fradkin, a Neocon signatory to the PNACs (Project for New American Century), letter to the President Bush urging war against Iraq. It also equated the Palestinian Authority with Al-Qaeda.
At a Hudson Institute conference in Washington last year, the Muslim scholar Zeyno Baran spoke about how the radical Muslim Brotherhood has established front groups in the US to mask and mainstream its Islamist ideology. Baran said:
Now, when we engage with Islamist organizations, either in conferences or government outreach programs, that is seen as endorsing that group and gives them legitimacy and empowers this sort of Islamism to become much more legitimate in the eyes of, let’s say American Muslim groups. If groups like CAIR or ISNA, Council on American Islamic Relations, CAIR, or the Islamic Society of North America, the two indicted coconspirators in the Holy Land trial case that I’m sure you all know about, and I believe you mentioned it briefly in your introduction, when those groups are invited to events with U.S. government, then most of the American Muslim groups who don’t really understand these issue think that they are the legitimate representative organizations and they need to be supporting them. And instead of then having sort of non-Islamist networks being formed, many of the Muslims feel that this sort of the non-Islamist Muslims feel that there’s really nowhere for them to go since the government is not reaching out to them, and since through decades of funding, institutional networking, creating of organizations, the Brotherhood and its affiliates have been taking over, or starting to take over the mainstream, that is the answer when some of you say, where are the real moderate Muslims, why aren’t they speaking up, and that is partly the reason why they don’t speak up because they don’t think that there is really any interest or really opportunity for them.
Also on the panel was Islamic scholar Husain Haqqani, who recounted the history of how the Muslim Brotherhood took over mainstream Muslim institutions in the US. I reproduce his remarks below, not only because they are important to keep in mind when many Americans prefer to believe that CAIR, ISNA and the other mainstream Muslim organizations pursue a benign agenda, but also because Dr. Haqqani is now Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States.
Pakistan’s New Ambassador: Traitor or Naïve fool? Rupee News has tried to ascertain if Mr. Haqqani is naive, just an opportunists, a pawn in the hands of the “doers and shakers”, or part of a diabolical conspiracy to place Manuchrian candidates in positions of power within the Pakistani government.
Remarks by Husain Haqqani:
Let me begin by saying that this morning we all heard about the Muslim Brotherhood’s history, but to set the stage for my discussion of the Muslim Brotherhood’s politicization of Islam in America, I would like to begin by just a few direct quotes from the work of the Muslim Brotherhood’s founder, Hassan al-Banna to explain the world view of the Muslim Brotherhood as the movement sees it.
In one of his writings, Hassan al-Banna claims Muslims should strive for the Muslim individual, Muslim family, Muslim nation, Muslim government and a state that should be able to lead the Islamic governments, should be able to unite the dispersed Muslims, should be able to regain their honor and superiority, should be able to recover their lost lands, their usurped regions and their occupied territories. Then it should be able to raise the flag of Jihad and the call towards Allah until the entire world is benefited by the teachings of Islam. Addressing members of the Muslim Brotherhood, he writes: Always remember that you have two basic objectives: number one, that the Islamic country should be free from all foreign control, for freedom is the natural right of every man which can be denied only by an oppressive dictator; second, although the concept of freedom is very different (just in case anybody is wondering), in this free land, a free Islamic government should be established, which should act according to the Islamic commands and enforce its collective system, declare its right principles as operative and popularize among the people its message which is based on wisdom. As long as the government is not established, all Muslims will be guilty, and for any slackness and carelessness in this connection will have to be accountable before Allah.
Mr. Potato-Chips goes to Washington:-Neocon from Pakistan. The “wannabee goras” see no impact of the historical issues to Pakistani and other Muslims societies, and squarely lay the blame on internal factors which are depicted as “triba”, agressive, bent of world domination and have an intense hatred of the West. Mr. Haqqani seems to adhere to the cliche “They hate us because of our freedoms.
Following this, there is the Muslim Brothers’ concept of a pledge of allegiance, and here there are six points to which the allegiance is undertaken.
- First, that a person who takes the oath of allegiance to the Brotherhood acknowledges that he would build up an Islamic personality, his body should be strong, his character should be firm, his thinking should be mature and balance. Also, he should be capable of earning his living and be resourceful, his belief should be on the right lines and his prayers should be selfless, he should be keen for his progress as an individual, and mindful of his time, all his affairs should be organized and his existence should be beneficial for others to the best possible extent. These are the duties of every Muslim Brother individually.
- The second point is that the Brother should establish a Muslim family, where Islamist ideals triumph over loyalty to his family-members. The Brother should be able to make them prepared to be respectful to the Islamic etiquette in their private lives and to follow it. He should give to his sons and his servants the best available training and instruct them in Islamic teachings. This is the duty of a Muslim Brother in relation to his family.
- The third point holds that he should work to reform society. He should popularize among people the righteous living, prohibit evil deeds and encourage good ones, exalt virtue and a competitive spirit in performing good deeds. He should induce the people to “color their whole living in the Islamic hue.” This is the duty of the Muslim Brotherhood, of every Brother individually, as well as the responsibility of the entire Jama’ah of the Brotherhood.
- Fourth, a Muslim Brother should free his country from every foreign, non-Islamic control. He should not allow any other political, spiritual or economic power to step into his country.
- The fifth point, is that the Brother should reform the government until the government is, in the true sense of the word, Islamic. Further, the government should be able to perform its duty and responsibility as a servant for the entire Muslim Umma.
- The sixth principle states that the Muslim Brotherhood collectively should work to restore the international position of the Muslim Umma. For this purpose it will be necessary free the occupied Muslim lands. It should restore its honor and superiority, promote its civilization and culture anew. A new spirit of oneness and unity should be instilled in the Muslim Umma until the entire Umma is unified, and in this way, the crown and throne of the caliphate of the world may be regained.
- The last principle relates to how the strategy of the Muslim Brotherhood has been operationalized in the United States. According to the seventh principle, the Brotherhood should function as a teacher, and guide the whole world.
- In sum, the first stage concerns the individual and the family, then the Muslim society, then the Muslim states and governments and finally, the entire world. The Brotherhood should thus spread the message of Islam to every nook and cranny of the world in such a way that the invigorating sight of obedience to Allah may be seen.
Mr. Haqqani refuses to mention a few of the issues. Hasan Al Banna’s pan-Arab message was not unique on earth. His message was anti-colonial and anti-Orientalist. His message was echoed by many moderates in the Muslims world and many non-Muslims as well. For example Lawrence of Arabia helped the Arabs gain independence from the Turks on the message of Arab Nationalsism. The Christian secular Baathist party united Egypt, Syria and Iraq under the banner of Arabism.
Mr. Haqqani also fails to mention the fact that the rise of the Ikhwan Ul Muslimeen was at the peak of the cold war. While the Socialist Gamal Abul Nasser was a pawn of the Soviet Union the CIA needed to keep his popular rise to power in check. At the time the CIA helped Hasan Al Banna in gaining popularity so that Egypt would not totally fall into the lap of the USSR.
These outlined principles are the objectives, method and message of the Muslim Brotherhood as defined by its own founder. As Hillel pointed out, the Brotherhood was created in 1928. What has happened since then, especially in the United States and what has been the U.S.’s linkage with the Muslim Brotherhood is the topic of my presentation.
Muslims started arriving in the United States as immigrants. It is true that there was an indigenous Muslim community, especially among African-Americans long before, but immigrant Muslims arrived in significant numbers since the 1950s. The number became more significant after the 1960s. In the 1950s, the people who came here were either students at American institutions of learning, colleges, universities, or students who completed their education and decided to pursue the American dream. So they were not people who came here to Islamize the United States. They happen to be Muslims who came here, and when they came here, certain needs arose.
They needed a mosque to pray in, they needed to find halal food, as they had children and settled down here, they needed education for their children which would emphasize their religious and cultural background, they needed to arrange and organize marriages, burials, and various other things according to Islamic rituals. Then, as some of them discovered the concept of certain economic practices being questioned by some theologians in the Muslim world, they began to worry about how to be able to have banking arrangements that were not entirely interest-based.
Mr. Haqqani uses a string of pearl strategy. He publishes excepts and “partial views” of history. These half-truth bring him profits from some quarters, but impact his capability both as a teacher and a diplomat. He tries to link unrelated events into a web of deceit and lies. He may not realize that my making a buck he actually impacts the lives and livelihood of millions of Muslims in America and beyond. He is not doing America or Pakistan any favors. In fact his nonsense is hurting America’s popularity around the world.
A Western Oriental Gentleman (WOG) came to the USA in 2002. His credentials were pretty weak an MA from The University of Karachi. He noticed that there was a huge opportunity in making a deal with Faust and selling Islamphobia to the naive and scared American public. In the grand tradition of “Orientalism”, this new FOB (Fresh of the boat) man jumped on the Neocon bandwagon and stabbed the Civil Rights Movement in the heart. Mr. Hussain Haqqani’s incorrect, false and incendiary statements caused havoc with the normal functioning of the great American Democracy. Hackles were raised. If a man named Husien said this, it must be true. If a Pakistani said this it must have veracity.
What irked Pakistani Americans most about Mr. Haqqani’s writings were his insinuations innuendo and portrayal of false history about Islam in America. His most egregious offense was to cast doubt on the loyalty of Muslims in America. His portrayal of terrorists cells and sleeper cells mirrored the writings of Dr. Emersen, Robert Spencer, David Harowitz, Michelle Milkin and others the worst Islamphobes in the planet. For example Mr. Haqqani’s article with the innocuous title “The Politicization of American Islam” is a ticking time bomb for American Muslims. It is exactly these type of writings that have encouraged Michelle Malken to write “The Case for internment”, a book that propounds the thesis that the internment of innocent American citizens who happened to be Japanese
However he has more than skeletons in his closet. He is a closet full of skeletons. For the past decade his sordid connections with the Neocons and their think tanks created this tsunami of Islamphobic rhetoric that eventually turned into a crescendo of Anti-Pakistan balderdash
These were their concerns. These concerns were taken advantage of by the Muslim Brotherhood, which had its own agenda in mind, outlined earlier.
Four things happened simultaneously in the 1950s.
- First, the Muslim Brotherhood needed cadres. It realized that since their message was global, the cadres should be global as well, and they were looking for talented people. Now where could one find a better talent pool than among Muslims who were receiving higher education in places like the United States? Thus, the first step was for the Brotherhood to recognize that Muslims studying in the States were suited for its aims.
- Second, the Muslims who had come to the United States as students or professionals starting out their pursuit of the American dream needed certain services, related to prayer, religious obligations, Sunday school or the Muslim equivalent of a Sunday school for their children. Their needs were recognized, and the Muslim Brotherhood recognized that its need for cadres and the Muslim community’s need for services could actually coincide if they made it work that way.
- The third thing that happened was that Saudi Arabia had emerged on the global scene, and wanted to gain influence among the world’s Muslims. Hermann Eilts, who was director of the Center for International Relations at Boston University and who used to be an Arabist in the State Department and served as ambassador to Egypt and Saudi Arabia among other places, talked about how as early as the late 1940s, Hassan al-Banna and some of his closest associates used to travel to Saudi Arabia, which was not the Saudi Arabia of today. At that time, it was still coming out of the shadows of the early Saudi sort of Wahhabi non-modernist beginnings. And yet, Eilts claims that the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt in particular had ties with the Saudis, and the Saudi deputy finance minister at the time who happened to be from Sudan, was responsible for providing money for the Muslim Brotherhood as part of the influence that coincided with the American agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood. Consequently, all they had to do was persuade the Saudis that the European and American side of things was also significant and worth the investment.
- The fourth thing, which set the stage for what we are experiencing today, is the United States entering the Cold War. As it often happens, the U.S. was still trying to find its way in a complex world, and the people who were looking at that world were not necessarily fully aware of its complexity. A binary approach was adopted, designed to contain communism by preventing Muslim countries from emerging and newly independent Muslim countries from becoming friends of the Soviets. Essentially, anyone who could help in this project was deemed a useful partner.
Mr. Haqqani’s fantasies put together a maze that is based on total lies. His venom against Muslims in general, Saudis and Pakistanis in particular impresses only his masters. His masters voice is not only totally discredited, the American people have voted against the proponents of these views. America has voted for a new prophet of peace and the Neocons have been voted out of office. Mr. Husain Haqqani has been siting in the lap of the Neocons disparaging Islam and vomiting against Pakistan for the best part of a decade. Now he is rewarded with an Ambassadorial position to represent Pakistan.

As a result, the Saudis were becoming a key ally of the United States, while the Muslim Brotherhood were allies of the Saudis. So in the Cold War context, the Brotherhood was a ‘good guy’.
Then, an idea was proposed to find a Muslim Billy Graham. Naturally, somebody who grew up in Wisconsin or Wyoming and brought up a Lutheran or Baptist and has not clue about the intricacies of the theology or the complex ideological divisions within the world of Islam, the person they were going to find was the one who himself wanted to be identified as the Muslim Billy Graham, and was looking for resources to allow him to carry his crusade. Unsurprisingly, one of the people who showed up to fill that role was a man by the name of Said Ramadan, who was married to Wafa al-Banna, the daughter of Hassan al-Banna. Thus, he met with the president of the United States in the Oval Office, as a potential Muslim Billy Graham who was going to mobilize the Muslims of the world against evils such as atheism and communism.
Then, Iraq fell into the Ba’ath rule and later on came under communist influence. This rendered the Cold War paradigm very important, and the intelligence community started paying attention to the Muslim Brotherhood, for it had the potential of being a major sources of influence against the spread of communism.
Said Ramadan, positioning himself very cleverly, started building up the institutional mechanism of the Brotherhood. He traveled to Pakistan and forged an alliance with the Islamists in Pakistan, especially that Jamaat-e-Islami led by Abul A’la
Maududi. Ramadan had so much influence in Pakistan that when the World Muslim Congress was first held, Ramadan published one of his first books and got the then prime minister of Pakistan (a Westernized man whom Truman adored) to write the preface of the book. In other words, a secular guy writing the preface of an Islamist book shows that the real issue was for the Muslims to show that they were united with the West against communism. Putting it crudely, the Muslim notion at the time was- if you can give us a few dollars to help fight the commies, so much the better, guns can come later.
Said Ramadan set up the Islamic center in Geneva in 1961, and in 1962 Prince Faisal Abdul Aziz helped create the Muslim World League, also known as Rabita al-Alam al-Islamia, which is now based in Mecca. Looking at the founding fathers of the Muslim World League is helpful to our understanding of radical Islam today. The key places where radical Islam has flourished, are places where people linked to the Rabita came from. A few examples would be: Said Ramadan himself, Egyptian in origin, Abul A’la Maududi, Pakistani, Haj Amin al-Husaini, Palestinian, Sibghatullah Mujadidi of Afghanistan, Mohammed ibn Ibrahim al-Shehr, the Saudi Grand Mufti, and Abdul Rahman Yahya al-Iryani of Yemen. This was the basic formation.
Once the Rabita came into being, it became a major funding source for radical Islamic projects all over the world. One of the first organizational structures to emerge in the United States, considering that the Muslim population was comprised of either young professionals or students, was the Muslim Students Association. Its founder was Berzinji who was a Iraqi Kurd associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. Two other people came up, Ahmad Tutungi and Hishameth Taleb, both of whom were married to Berzinji’s sisters, and this kind of family network emerged. Other institutions were then created, like the World Assembly of Muslim Youth. The Muslims Students Association of America became the pivot of an international Islamic federation of student organizations.
The MSA did a remarkable thing from the point of the view of the Muslim Brotherhood: they got funding for a massive translation project of all the major texts of radical Islam, Qutb’s books, Maududi’s books, Hassan al-Banna’s books and articles of others belonging to the network. These texts were translated into 70 languages and made available to every Muslim center or mosque that was emerging. Consider young Muslims who came to the States- engineers studying in Oklahoma or Michigan or elsewhere. These students may want to learn about their faith. Thanks to the MSA, Muslim texts became available in prayer halls, free of charge and translated into every language. Turkish students can read Qaradawi for example in Turkish, Indians in Hindi, Pakistanis in Urdu and so on.
Then, the Muslim Student Association started inviting people from the Muslim world, and among the people who came to the States were Abul A’la Maududi, Abul Hassan Ali Nadwi, Yusuf al-Qaradawi. They all came to deliver lectures, which are of particular interest. While the American government at that time supported what it considered anti-communist crusaders, which they were, the lectures delivered in the US were about the impending clash between Islam and the West. Evidently, the Brothers were preparing for this clash down back in the 1970s. Maududi’s writings and speeches in America are very strong on this, Nadwis, Qardawis, it’s all about how the Westernized way of life is not going to be the salvation and Islamized – so instead of modernizing the Muslim world, we have to Islamize the modern world. That was the agenda.
Mr. Haqqani’s delusions do not end by blaming the charitable organizations like the Rabita. He continues his diatribes against any and all Muslims organization in America and beyond. He sees evil in the eye of any and all Muslims.Mr. Haqqani’s statements and article fanned the wave of Islamphobia which ended up affecting the lives, and livelihood of thousands of Muslims. It was because of this sort of Islamphobic drivel that thousands of Pakistanis were packed up in C-130s and sent back to Pakistan. If they were lucky the spent a few nights in the rape and sodomy centers of 3rd world and Eastern European torture centers. If they were unlucky many of these Pizza Delivery people ended up in Gitmo. If they were unlucky they ended up in satellite prison systems in Egypt and Jordan’s notorious “mukhabarrat”. For these unlucky souls Abu Ghraib would be a picnic. Many of these horror stories are listed in “Civil Rights in Peril” and hundreds of other Human rights and Amnesty International reports.
In a nutshell, this is how it happened:
- ’60s and ’70s massive publication program,
- ’70s and ’80s, the America Project became a major source of fundraising in the Gulf region.
- After 1973, the Gulf countries became rich with petroleum dollars.
- Then, of course, came the 1980s when Jihad came about in Afghanistan, and that also enabled them to create networks that were designed for raising funds.
- These networks include charities of various kinds, so by the 1990s these still seemed relatively benign, as the notion was that they are still “on our side”- while they talk about Western civilization needing to the pulled down, they are still not a threat to us.
Even now, for example like Graham Fuller, who was head of Middle East analysis at the National Intelligence Council, even now he maintains that there is no clash of interest between radical Islam and the United States, and a State Department official said about the Taliban in 1995, “the Taliban will probably develop like the Saudis… there will be pipelines and there will be an emir and there will be no parliament, and lots of Sharia law. I think the United States can live with that.” So that was the attitude when the Muslim Brotherhood created the networks that have dominated the U.S.
There are four influences on the Muslim community of this Muslim Brotherhood expansion in the United States.
- First was that most of the leading figures in the Muslim community ended up being people from the Muslim Brotherhood or people influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood. They had the money, they had the resources, they had the connections. Consider a small town in Auburn, Alabama that needs a little mosque. Who is going to pay for the mosque? This kind of help came from the Muslim Brotherhood. Many people became disproportionately influence. The Muslim community as a whole is very diverse. It includes people with Sufi background, Shi’as, etc. The emergence of the leadership ended up identifying the Muslim Brotherhood people as the leaders.
- Second, the mosques and organizations all ended up, or most of them ended up under Muslim Brotherhood control.
- The third impact was that the Muslim agenda ended up being defined by the Muslim Brotherhood, and this was a highly political agenda. Instead of Muslims like me who consider Islam their religious faith, this ended up being people who describe Islam as a political and social ideology, so Islam is ideology and Islam is faith, the distinction became blurred because of the way the organizational structure was created.
- And the fourth was the marginalization of traditional Islam within the Muslim community of the United States, the kind of people who want to say their prayers but get on with the business of life, who want to have a relationship with God, but do not want to think of it as a political agenda. That’s where the politicization came.
The impact on the American mainstream, and four quick points:
- number one, the American media and academia. Since they are looking to understand Islam, they found it more convenient to approach Islam through the Muslim Brotherhood’s politicized version. If you look at even Islamic studies in the United States, a lot of scholars look at the people the Brotherhood quotes. You don’t here about certain scholars. Only now some people are doing some research on Sufi traditions or non-radical versions of Islam.
- It’s similar to Christian Evangelicals defining Christianity, not allowing other sects and groups to actually define it. There is pluralism within the Christian tent, big tent. The process is similar here is well. The Muslim Brotherhood’s version is now the official one. So if CNN is looking for a spokesman for the Muslims, they are going to go to any of the organizations associated with the Brotherhood to provide speakers. So then you have the others who turn around and say, where are the moderate Muslims? The point is that the moderate Muslims do not control the organizational structures out of which spokesmen are born. They are quiet.
- The fourth impact on the American mainstream was that converts to Islam, as Islam started winning converts in the United States, the new converts were more likely to be influenced by radical Islam than by traditional Islam. So whether it’s the prison ministry of Muslims, or whether it’s the Chaplaincy in the military, et cetera, all of it is influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood sufficiently for Muslim Brotherhood views to be the prism through which Islam is viewed by these new converts to Islam. Now, even critics of radical Islam are affected by the Muslim Brotherhood’s notion that there is only one Islam. The plurality of Islam and the pluralism within Islam is totally ignored as a result. Haqqani on Muslim Brotherhood’s real agenda: 6:48 AM Tue, Dec 02, 2008 | Rod Dreher
Rupee News has exposed Mr. Haqqani in several articles. Most people will be appalled by his hysterical diatribes against people based on their faith and their national origins. He can get away with it because he has now been anointed by Mr. Zardari as the Pakistani Ambassador to the USA. Mr. Haqqani should have been defending the innocent. He was like Nero watching Rome Burn. Mr. Haqqani was not just a spectator, he was an active participant on the crusade on Muslims in the West.
The portrayal of all DMS (Dead Muslim Scholars) as progenitors of all evil in the world is a growth industry in America. Mr. Haqqanis writings linking DMSs to 911 and future events is exactly what is depicted in Mr. Geert Wilder’s balderdash “Fitna”. If Fitna is blasphemy, Mr. Haqani’s sacrilegious writings also create psychopathic paranoia in the intellectual circles of America. What is worse, Mr. Haqqani’swritings are then quoted as “fact” to create discriminatory laws, illegal surveillance and creates the case to end Habeas Corpus via the “Patriot Act” Laws.
Semantics are extremely important. We strenuously objected to Mr. Haqqani’s usage of Quranic words for nafarous purposes. He continues to use the words giving succor to the enemy, but also encouragin appartichiks like Mr. Shaharyar to “monkey say monkey do” follow in his footsteps and use the same blasphemous wordings. Mr. Haqqani should be aware that blasphemy is still an offense in Pakistan and congucating Quranic terms to portray ignoble people is blasphemy. When Pakistani territory is called a “safe haven”, instead of a hideout, it creates paranoia in Washington.

Haroon-Haqqani Urged UN to Impose Sanctions on Pakistani NGOs: Asia Times
PPP Envoy to UN Abdullah Hussain Haroon Must be Booked for Anti-
Pakistan Treason.
(InformPress.com) – PPP envoy to the United Nations (UN) Abdullah Hussain Haroon and PPP envoy to the USA Husain Haqqani cunningly urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to impose UN sanctions on Pakistan’s social welfare organization, Jamat-ud-Dawah (JuD), and Pakistani citizens to falsely and maliciously frame, blame and defame them in Civil Terrorism against State Terrorism of the Terrorist Mafia State of India, according to a news report of the Asia Times Online (“Pakistan’s military takes a big hit”, by Syed Saleem Shahzad, 13 December 2008, Hong Kong, China.)
On 9 December 2008, in his official written statement to the UNSC, Abdullah Hussain Haroon strongly urged the UNSC to impose UN sanctions on JuD and its Pakistani leaders. Haroon wrote:
“I would also like to give you a few glimpses of steps taken today in Pakistan: The [PPP] Government of Pakistan has already initiated investigations on its own pertaining to the allegations of involvement
of persons and entities in the Mumbai attacks. After the designation of Jamat-ud-Dawah (JuD) under 1267, the [PPP] Government on receiving communication from the [UN] Security Council shall proscribe the JuD and take other consequential actions, as required, including the freezing of [JuD] assets.”
The above statement of Abdullah Haroon proves that Haroon mischievously encouraged the UNSC to impose UN sanctions on JuD and its Pakistani leaders without presenting any legal evidence or proof
against the JuD to the UNSC.
Abdullah Haroon also wrote: “A plan is being prepared to ensure effective government supervision as required for various welfare organizations. An intelligence led operation strongly supported by law
enforcement agencies is already underway to arrest the individuals alleged to be involved in the Mumbai attacks. No training camps for Lashkar-e-Tayyaba [LeT] or any entity of this nature shall be allowed
on the territory of Pakistan. The above measures, which are in process, constitute further proof of Pakistan’s determination to take action and not to allow its territory to be used for terrorism.
Pakistan Government’s ability and capacity to take strong measures requires the understanding and full support of its friends at the United Nations and its Security Council. In addition to our proposal
of a Joint Commission and investigations, we have now proposed to India to receive the highest possible level delegation from Pakistan to sort out these affairs.”
The above statement of Abdullah Haroon also proves that Haroon told the UNSC, without any lawful proof or evidence, that both the JuD and the LeT are behind the Mumbai attacks of November 2008.
On 10 December 2008, after hearing and reading the false and malicious statements of Abdullah Haroon against JuD and LeT, the so-called UN “Security Council Al-Qaida and Taliban Sanctions Committee” imposed the UN sanctions (assets freeze, travel ban and arms embargo, etc.) on JuD, LeT, “Al Rashid Trust”, “Al-Akhtar Trust International”, Muhammad Saeed, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Haji Muhammad Ashraf and Mahmoud Mohammad Ahmed Bahaziq.
Indeed, Abdullah Haroon has committed the crime of treason against Pakistan by telling the UNSC, without any legal evidence or proof, that it should impose UN sanctions for the Mumbai attacks on JuD and Pakistani citizens based in Pakistan. Therefore, Haroon must be booked for treason, kicked out of the Pakistan Mission to the UN and prosecuted in an independent court of law for libelous defamation
against a Pakistani organization and Pakistani citizens.
PPP President Asif Ali Zardari appointed Abdullah Haroon, an incompetent politician and a failed diplomat, as the PPP’s “Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the United Nations” in New York, USA, on 3 September 2008, to stop any journalistic criticism against PPP leaders by the Dawn Media Group (DMG), because Abdullah Haroon is the elder brother of Hameed Haroon, the CEO of DMG; Publisher of the DAWN rag, DWS, Herald, Spider, Aurora, The Star; and producer of the Dawn News TV. The controversial, meritless appointment of Abdullah Haroon is a classical example of the PPP government corruption, nepotism and bribery to the DMG of Karachi, Pakistan.
Now read the following excerpts from the Asia Times Online news report to further understand the PPP’s sinister conspiracy against the JuD and the Pakistan Army: “Karachi [Pakistan] – The United Nations
Security Council’s declaration this week of the Pakistani group Jamat-ud-Dawah [JuD] as a front for the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which is [illegally and maliciously] banned as a terrorist organization, marks
a major setback for Pakistan’s military establishment.
“The UN has [unlawfully and maliciously] subjected Jamat-ud [Dawah] to sanctions as a terrorist group, including an asset freeze, travel ban and arms embargo. Jamat claims it is a charity organization separate from the LeT, which has been [illegally, maliciously and fraudulently] linked [without any lawful proof or evidence] to the devastating attack on Mumbai [India] last month [November 2008] in which close to 200 people died.
“Pakistani [PPP] President Asif Ali Zardari and his diplomatic corps based in Washington and New York had lobbied hard to counter efforts by the Pakistani military establishment to protect its strategic
assets, as Islamabad [Zardari-Gillani Ruling Mafia] wants a real clampdown on the LeT and Jamat-ud [Dawah].
“It has got its way…. Within 24 hours of the UN announcement, Pakistan [Zardari-Gillani Terrorist Mafia] carried out raids on Jamat-ud [Dawah] offices throughout the country. [JuD President Professor
Muhammad] Saeed and other [JuD] leaders have been placed under [illegal] house arrest, while several Jamat leaders have gone underground.
“The Pakistani media were given directives to label the Mumbai attack a conspiracy hatched by India’s Research and Analysis Wing [RAW], Israel’s Mossad and the US’s Central Intelligence Agency [CIA] to
tighten the noose around Pakistan. While the War Criminal] George W. Bush Administration was assured by [Pakistan] Army Chief [General] Ashfaq Parvez Kayani that action would be taken against the LeT, the [PPP Terrorist Mafia] Government was advised by the military to make a distinction between Jamat-ud [Dawah] and the LeT.
“The Pakistani [PPP] ambassador in Washington, Husain Haqqani, and Pakistan’s [PPP] Permanent Representative at the United Nations, [Abdullah] Hussain Haroon, took a pro-active role in soliciting the
international community to help Pakistan. They got their message across and the UN aimed at the core of the discord by explicitly naming Jamat-ud [Dawah]. On Thursday, the sidelining of the [Pakistan]
military establishment was complete. These developments are significant that the [Pakistani] military establishment, which has for so long dominated the affairs of state in Pakistan, has been
outmaneuvered by the political [PPP Terrorist Mafia] Government.”
\However, out of the 16-paragraphs-long speech of Abdullah Hussain Haroon, titled “Threats to International Peace and Security”, only his following words make some sense: “I would request my friends in India to recall that when the Friendship Samjhota Express was burnt down with Muslim passengers killed on their way to Pakistan, fingers were pointed hastily at Pakistan but later it was proved that an Indian Army Colonel [Shrikant Prasad Purohit] was involved. We are all aware
that the [Hindu- Occupied] Kashmir situation is the root cause of all problems between India and Pakistan. Would it not be a good time to do away with the root cause by pledging to resolve it with deeds and actions….

In a lopsided policy the US wasted $143 Billion in aid to Afghanistan and gave Pakistan $5 Billion. Egyptian loans of around $38 Billion were forgiven. Pakistani losses due to GWOT calculated by the US DOD were $20 Billion per year in 2001. These losses have quadrupled. Aid to Pakistan is less than aid to Afghanistan. This has to be balanced with need. The US uses Pakistani infrastructure to transport supplies without building or even maintaining the roads.
Joe Biden triples US aid to Pakistan:-too little too late. Aid should be 20 times that number to compensate for usage of bases, roads and lost opportunity. Aid should create projects not be given to corrupt politicians. Reverse tracking should ensure that aid is not syphoned by corrupt politicians to Swiss accounts
