Is Jamaat-e-Islami Next Target?

By Farid Masood • Jun 19th, 2009 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look • 27 Comments

The captured prospect member of team, which attacked Sri Lankan Cricket Team in Lahore during March this year, came before media with concealed face and answered questions.

Mumbai attacks made India Pakistan to use hard words against each other. Our political and administrative leadership were unable to manage the crises time with good diplomatic practices as happened before many a times in past and India remained one step ahead of Pakistan. We witnessed a character named ‘Ajmal Qasab’. On diplomatic channels India moved ahead and we have to ban our charity organizations like Jamaat-ud-Daawah etc.

When two chaps were arrested after assassination of Ms Bhutto, my personal view was that they are not involved but punishment made them to state. Like wise, current intelligence and security failure made this man to speak for support and in the long run this may prove that he was not amongst who attacked Sri Lankan team.

The captured culprit appearance before media was on one side was a complete risk of life of the culprit and the people gathered around him and on other side it may not help to ease pressure from the security forces who are unable to counter terrorism.

Between the lines one can smell when the captured person took the name of ‘Mansoorah’ the center of political activities of ‘Jamaat-e-Islami’ may be the next target of international & Indian pressures as witnessed in the past cases.

For sure, this appearance was a poorly managed first ever show-off.

    “..who appeared at the televised press conference with his head covered – said the mastermind of the attack took the others to a rented house located on a street IN FRONT OF Mansoora a day before the assault, and gave them weapons.”

    At least read the stuff properly before lamely sensationalizing things.

  2. This time is very lethal for all mullahs having long beard.All are under threat as we have declared official war in our land for those people who were once got full support and development through our system.Now our establishment is acting on the basis of anti mullah strategy.So blood shed and traps are ready lets see whose turn comes first.

  3. The mullas only brought it upon themselves….these people talk of hodling “discussions” with Taliban…and never even bothered to slam terrorist openly…..now tables are turning against them….serves them right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  4. Jamat Islami has always sympathized with the cause of Taliban Terrorists. It is no wonder that this terrorist was harboured by Jamatias. Khaled Sheikh Muhammad, the Alqaeda terrorists was also arrested hiding in a Jamat Islami worker’s house.

    Moreover, the Former Commissioner of Malakand, Syed Javaid who is said to have collaborated with Taliban Terrorists in the murder of Pakistan Army Commandos in Swat, is also a Jamat Islami Activist!

    Hats off to Punjab police for uncovering this connection! Jamat Islami has maintained anti democracy and anti-state rhetoric. Now it should be banned as a Terrorist organization! The fact is that this Jamatia Terrorist was caught by Punjab Police which works directly under Punjab Governement of PML-N. And PML-N is in no way anti Jamat Islami. So there should be no doubt whatsoever regarding the Terrorist’s admission.

    MQM has been alerting the nation of the dangers posed by these ‘Home Grown Jamatia Terrorists’ for a long time now. THERE IS A GROWING NEED THAT PAKISTAN ARMY CONDUCTS AN OPERATION AGAINST Jamat Islami, especially in Lahore and Karachi.

    BELIEVE ME:

    THE COMMON PAKISTANI CITIZENS ARE FED UP OF THESE JAMATIAS AND WILL ACTIVELY ASSIST THE ARMY IN LYNCHING THESE JAMAT ISLAMI TERRORISTS!

    The better option is that while our Brilliant Pakistan Army Eliminates Taliban Terrorists in Pakhtoonkhwa, the Federal Government should declare Jamat Islami as a Terrorist Organization immediately, and encourage ordinary citizens to hunt down every Jamatia Terrorist!

    Through Citizen-Government Partnership, we can eliminate these Home Grown Terrorists in our towns and cities!

    People are already long fed up of Jamat Islami’s Terrorist Activities. Citizens of Pakistan just need the ‘Go Ahead’ signal from Government! They will then clean this mess themselves! What about Mufti Sarfraz Naeemi’s killing? I think we may soon find Jamat Islami hand in that too. Every one knows that Jamat Islami has been terrorising university campuses across the country , especially the Punjab university campus in Lahore.

    ITS HIGH TIME THAT A MASSIVE OPERATION BE STARTED AGAINST JAMAT ISLAMI IN LAHORE. IT WILL SURELY BE WELCOMED BY OPPRESSED CITIZENS, WHO MAY WELL START LYNCHING JAMATIAS ON THEIR OWN.


    BAN Jamat Islami as a Terrorist Organization!

    Start a Military Operation Against Jamat Islami!

    We can’t allow terrorists to live in the midst of us!

  5. I agree with you Ibrahim!

  6. Jamat e Islaami is the one who opposed the very creation of Pakistan.

    Later on, the history tells us that in all the testing times that Pakistan was in a fix. With out fail they either opted out and sit iwith the opposition and never have come forward to lay their lives for sake of this country. Even their charity works are of low stanadard and of minimal values.

    They have always proved themselves the abetters of our enemies. Ironicaly this time they stayed out so they can hatch a conspiracy and have been sporting TTP to create an anarchy in Pakistan that while riding the wings of Taliban in the dins of anarchy they can enter the lobbies of Islamabad.

    Not Islam but Islamabad is their goal.

    There is dire need that they should come forward and prove themselves at the anvil of the test and show their allegiance with Pakistan.

  7. History repeats itself and rightly so when this nation is all out in eradicating the evil of terrorism out of our country and eliminating the curse of Taliban; the rhetoric of George W Bush must be haunting them.

    Either you are with Us or— with the Terrorist…?

  8. Khokar Sahab: You are right! These Jamatias have always terrorised ordinary citizens through street violence. Now, I think their game is over.

    ITS HIGH TIME THAT A MASSIVE OPERATION BE STARTED AGAINST JAMAT ISLAMI IN LAHORE. IT WILL SURELY BE WELCOMED BY OPPRESSED CITIZENS, WHO MAY WELL START LYNCHING JAMATIAS ON THEIR OWN.

    BAN Jamat Islami as a Terrorist Organization!

    Start a Military Operation Against Jamat Islami!

    We can’t allow terrorists to live in the midst of us!

  9. Migratory but true Pakistanis
    Read some history how gen hameed gul ,talibans and jammat islami worked together side by side for promoting this taliban culture.Kindly stick to your latest comment for both JI and GEN GUL

    Quoted in Nawa-e-Waqt (August 30, 2005) ex-ISI chief General (retd) Hameed Gul said that it was indeed ironical that Pakistani ambassador to the US General (retd) Jehangir Karamat was asking the US whether it was a friend of Pakistan or its enemy. He said the coming of India into Afghanistan as a major power was a defeat for Pakistan. And America was the ally of India, not Pakistan. America was never a friend of Pakistan, nor was it going to be. Was it to allow India into Afghanistan that Pakistan sacrificed 25 years of hard work and sided with the American attack?

    Hameed Gul’s thinking reveals the military mind that has landed us in so much trouble. It was under Gen Gul that the ISI let Hekmatyar and Jamaat Islami run away with the Afghan policy, leaving some very important jihadi militias out of the reckoning. When Nawaz Sharif discovered that Hekmatyar was popular only with Qazi Hussain Ahmad and Gen Gul, and not with anyone in Afghanistan, he was forced to change policy but it was too late.

    Gen Gul kept flailing his fists in the air when the Taliban filled the gap in Afghanistan, forcing him to denounce them, only to apologise later at Akora Khattak for his ‘mistake’. He went a number of times to patch up the ravelled jihad in Afghanistan (Benazir funded him because she actually believed that he could clinch it!) but failed because he did not have a clue about the ground realities in Afghanistan.

    In 1995, Ahmad Shah Massoud, forced to link up with India because of the ISI, attacked Pakistan’s embassy in Kabul; in 1996, Pakistan caused him to run into the mountains of Panjshir and a panic-stricken India to take its embassy out of Kabul. After 2001, it is the ruin of Gen Gul’s policy that has allowed India to walk back into Afghanistan, but that is quite normal. Pakistan cannot treat Afghanistan as its backyard (strategic depth!). It should reconstruct the Jalalabad-Kabul road and trade with Afghanistan like hell till it beats everyone else in the region. The indicators are that this is happening.

    Writing in Nawa-e-Waqt (August 21, 2005) Irfan Siddiqi stated that people who wanted to give in charity obeyed the Islamic edict that charity should be done anonymously. The madrassas in Pakistan received Rs 27 billion every year. Can the government now ask the madrassas to give account and will it send the cases against the donors to NAB?

    The estimate of Rs 27 billion is modest but it is still a rebuke to the education budgets of the provinces. Actually this kind of money could be found invested in only one or two umbrella organisations, like Lashkar-e-Tayba, who run chains of madrassas. A relatively modest madrassa in Multan has a Rs 500,000 per month budget for meals. Sipah-e-Sahaba madrassas absorb a lot of money because of their numbers. Heads of these madrassa too spend a lot of money. Unlike old times, they drive around in Toyotas and Land Cruisers. All-Pakistan Wifaqul Madaris head Maulana Haneef Jullunderi’s own madrassa in Multan is in a dilapidated condition, but he has a brand new Toyota and a carpeted, air-conditioned office. The madrassas are not bound to tell where the money comes from.

    Quoted in Nawa-e-Waqt (August 29, 2005) Dr Justice (retd) Javid Iqbal stated that he was most offended by the recent statement of the administrative head of Deoband seminary in India that Quaid-e-Azam Jinnah was not a Muslim. He said Deoband had in the past also apostatised Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and Allama Iqbal, which was unacceptable to Pakistan. He said that the clerics of Deoband had not accepted Pakistan too and had joined Hindu Congress, so it was not surprising that today Deoband had once again abused the Quaid.

    He added that it was not for nothing that Allama Iqbal had written a poem against the Deobandi leader Hussain Ahmad Madni. Deobandi chief Maulana Marghubur Rehman had been reported as saying that far from being a secular person, Jinnah was not even a Muslim because he never said namaz and he drank alcohol. Marghub later wrote in to deny that he had said anything against the Quaid.

    The last time the newspaper denounced Hussain Ahmad Madni for his pre-1947 opposition to the Quaid, the JUI had protested loudly. The Deobandis in Pakistan are the dominant religious force although they were not a part of the Pakistan Movement. It is a bit risky to answer the charges made by today’s Deoband. It is lucky that the Indian Deobandi leader has denied the statement.

  10. Jamat e Islami is a threat to Global Peace and Humanity.

    The Master Mind of 9/11 Khalid Shaikh Muhammad was arrested from the House of Jamat e islami pinid Nazima.
    @ Arabs belongs to Al Qaeda were arrested from the house of Sabiha Shahid (Central Leader of Jamat e Islami Women Wing) in Gulshan e Maymar Karachi.

    Dr Arshad Waheed arrested in connection for the attack on Core Commander Karachi was later killed in Wana in US drone attack, Al Qaeda Media Cell that is actually Jamat e Islami Media Cell released his video of taking Military Commando training in WANA and Jamat e islami Website now asking the MOHAJIRS to join Arshad Waheed.

    And now the person arrested in connection on Sri lankan team attack confessed he stayed at Mansora the head quarter of jamat e islami before the attack and he was given arms and instructions in Mansoora.

    Jamat e Islami is also involve din the killings of 2 millions Bangali Muslims and raping of 700,000 Bangali Women, Jamat e Islami Leaders in Bangladesh facing war crime Charges.

    Now jamat e Islami is concentrating on Karachi, according to internal sources with in Jamat, all the workers trained in Afghanistan and FATA are called in Karachi, Jamat e Islami soon starting a war in Karachi and that is not something funny.

    They have hundreds of so called Mujahids they trained for Kashmir Afghanistan Bosnia and other parts of world and all are moving to Karachi.

    The gov in Punjab is not Leftest Gov of PPP, Punjabis ruled by Right Wing PML and the confession of accused involved in attack on srilankan team pointing connections with jamat e islami clearly shows that the establishment is ready to un veil the dirty face of jamat e islami as now jamat becomes the threat for Pakistan as they have not only attacked Cor COmmander karachi but now it is clear that were about to Hostage the Srilankan team.

    it seems the long honeymoon of jamat with establishment and army is over and now army have decided to play a role like the army of turkey once played.

  11. @ Nazia
    Nawai waqt is a spokesperson of Pro Jehadi and Pro Right Punjabi Establishment so we don’t have any need to read it.

    Urdu press is used by establishment as its tool to promote their conspiracy theories and propaganda so i don’t believe in what have been published in such papers.

    Kindly present anything like this from English Daily of Pakistan.

    the day is not far when the whole Pakistan would know that WHat Hameed Gul and Jamat were planning to do.

    Breaking of Pakistan, JEHADI STYLE.

  12. @ PAKISTANI SPECTATORS

    READ WHAT NAZIA SAID

    Migratory but true Pakistanis

  13. As always its amusing to see terror gang MQMized zealots live from the basement of MQM’s terrorist Headquarter Nine Zero Azizabad and MQM’s british terror wing chief saleem shahzad type absconding expats active of this post.

    For half brained dorks from MQM’s professional arsonist and certified extortionist wing, let me paste news report from Dawn Newspaper dated 19th jun 09 about the same issue in which the DIG himself clarified that they were misquoted.

    yfrog.com/08lankanteamj (URL of the pic)

    In sharp contrast these MQMized terrorist were not operating infront of MQM’s terror HQ but infact were operating from inside the terrorist Headquarter Nine Zero Azizabad Karachi.

  16. khalid
    First note its not nawiwaqt’s words but all are Gen hamid quotes and you can also find same in English papers too on same dates.
    I kindly request you to please don’t deviate from your words you just say and as per your introduction in your blog.
    This is your introduction ok
    This is Khaled Faroqi , Mohajir Nationalist writing to unite the Urdu Speaking Community and spreading the news not highlighted in the controlled media.

    You can join my Community : http://www.mohajirs.ning.com
    now you say
    Urdu press is used by establishment as its tool to promote their conspiracy theories and propaganda so I don’t believe in what have been published in such papers.

    Are you not part of this urdu propagandists group?
    Now you again say
    the day is not far when the whole Pakistan would know that WHat Hameed Gul and Jamat were planning to do.
    That is also my point for which I pasted this article for people who one side praised gen gul and other side speak against JI. I completely agree with you.
    I surely pointed such characters who are Migratory but true Pakistanis.

    kahild when one opt to leave its country it is either clear symbol of its deprivation of good opportunities for his/her survivals or sometimes want to make shortcuts for future happiness.They might be in thought of having better life through this migration than ordinary Pakistanis whose civic conditions are depriving with the passage of time.One can easily see such conditions that in last 10 years electricity, good jobs, health facilities, good education like facilities are taking away form common people and have become centralized for specific groups.So over all Life in Pakistan has become very difficult as compared to 10 or 20 years before.So if at this moments settled Pakistanis are serving their nations with their extreme limited capacity and it shows their bravery and firmness to the fact that Pakistan should get rid of evil planning and think for real human prosperity.
    Being migratory birds and hammering settled Pakistanis not to point exact grave problems that are destroying our true infrastructure is nothing more than acts of fools .No added value to already existing problems that are eating our resources actually.

    your affiliation with Hameed Gul and Jamat is also exposed.

    We know what Jamat and Hameed Gul planned, MQM failed their plan otherwise what is happening in FATA and Swat would happen in Karachi..

    We hate Jamati Munafiqs followers of Sowar Mododi who will burn in hell for even criticizing Prophet (AS) and even the Pious Wives of Prophet Mohammad (S A W)

    Mododi and Jamat e Islami Munfqat and lies are exposed in Program where the acnhor showed the real face of Mododi and Jamat from Mododi Own Books and the Munafiq Jamati Ameer has no answer and he was caught with his pants down when the anchor showed the munafqat of Mododi and jamat e islami to the whole world, that Mododi was against pakistan and even Quaid e Azam and the same Mododi Munafiq was giving interview in 1960’s that he never said anything against Quaid e Azam.

  19. Talibanization the hot favorite topics for most of my friends here, I never saw any rally of MQM against feudalism (somethng they always condemned and point out as root cause which is destabilizing Pakistan, I totally agree!) but they never speak louder against it, as they always speaks against Talibanization.
    Reason is only that they are surviving with feudalism which allowed them to make money (pls dnt counter it as mostly MPA, MNA and senator do this) but matter of taliban is just highlighted to get the camera of International Media, this is just a hypocracy which isnt good, secondly jamat specially its student organization IJT they worst thugs in form of students.

    All political parties must be banned in Pakistan and it shd be made as a kingdom which will be more good.

  20. There are many kinds of leaders

    But there are very few

    Who turn out to be good leaders

    And excel in all they do they do.

    The way things ought to be

    And sets a good example for

    Everyone to see.

    He teaches us to try our best

    And strives to make us better

    Yet must insist the rules be met

    Right down to the letter.

    Fairness and integrity

    Must be realized

    They play the most important part

    And can’t be compromised.

    Talent on this level

    Can’t be found everywhere

    But i know one great leader.

    His name is Altaf Hussain
