EDITORIAL: Jamaat-e-Islami’s fatal isolationism

The three-day Jamaat-e-Islami congregation or ‘world conference’ at Azakhel near Peshawar on Saturday has taken extreme political and economic positions. These will serve to intimidate the world and compel many interest groups in Pakistan to review their options vis-à-vis the religious party. The party chief, Qazi Hussain Ahmad, who was not allowed to visit Holland and Belgium and was embarrassed by questions from journalists in Norway last month, has taken the Jamaat one step further on the road of radicalisation by condemning the West. He has done this for two reasons: he wants to attract the attention of the electorate in Pakistan and he seeks to upstage the JUI within the MMA.

The naib (deputy) amir of the party, Senator Prof Khursheed Ahmad, told the gathering that the United States and its allies had crippled the economies of the Muslim countries by taking over their resources. He argued that the only way to recover from this subjugation was by waging jihad. He said that the Almighty had directed Muslims to increase their power, which included economic strength.

US had plans to invade Pak

ANI[ SATURDAY, OCTOBER 02, 2004 10:53:29 AM ]

WASHINGTON: In a book that is likely to be released later this month, its author has startlingly revealed that the Bush administration has firmed up plans to carry out an invasion of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province, which is seen as the command centre of the al-Qaeda terrorist network.
George Friedman, the founder and chairman of the well regarded news and analysis service, Stratfor, reveals in his book titled America's Secret War , the ongoing, but hidden struggle between the United States and its enemies.
"The United States will threaten Iran with war if it aids al-Qaeda. The United States will have to invade northwest Pakistan. There are plans for this already. In addition, if Pakistan collapses due to an invasion, the United States and India will have to jointly occupy Pakistan. The end game is Pakistan," the Daily Times quotes Friedman as saying.

Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a Homeland Security Department component known as ICE, are matching identities of visa violators nationwide with names on secret government terrorism databases in hopes of finding al-Qaida operatives.
