Zaid Zaman Hamid: - Past and Present Please read patiently while you have sufficient time to understand Our young generation is in fever of magical voice of a person Zaid Zaman Hamid who is pretending himself a big patriot and getting the trust of Pakistani youth rapidly. Syed zaid zaman is accused that he was a big follower and the first Khalifa of a man Yousaf Ali ( yusuf kazzab) who claimed as a second return of our prophet Muhammad SAW ( naooz billah ) in 1990’s in Pakistan. Yousuf kazzab got hundreds of people following him because of impressive speech and his so-called ‘spiritual powers’. After a massive protest by every sector of society yusuf kazzab was arrested and after a trial of more than 2 years it was proved in court that he claimed not only as a prophet but also as second return of Muhammad SAW naoozbillah. According to reports of those days ( in 1997) published in different national daily and weekly newspapers, yusuf kazzab deputed zaid zaman hamid as his 1st Khalifa before his arrest and Zaid Zaman Hamid was following his case in court also. (Evidences are attached, read patiently please) Audio tapes, news reports, eye witnesses, personal diary and letters of Kazzab confirmed the allegations on Kazzab and he was sentenced to death by high court but during his appeal in Supreme court he was killed in jail by other prisoner. Ziad Zaman’s letter to the editor of Daily DAWN was published on 13 august 2000 and in which he said the court’s decision as “murder of justice”. Zaid Hamid disappeared soon after kazzab was killed and he appeared after 9-10 years in 2007-08 on TV as zaid Hamid (his father was a retired Army col. Zaman Hamid. His full name is Syed zaid zaman, (hamid is his father’s 2nd name). All the news reports of kazzab were later compiled as a book " Fitna Yusuf kazzab" which was published in 1997 ( 12 years ago and Zaid hamid was not famous at that time) and his name is mentioned in this book more then 20 times with yusuf kazzab. Below actual pages of this book are provided which clearly mention zaid zaman hamid’s relation with yusuf kazzab. Note:- Arshad Qurashi, the Auther of the book “Fitna yusuf Kazzab” has dead in 2003( May Allah bless him Jannah). His brother Ansar Iqbal is owner of Muaarif Publishers Lahore and he confirmed that this book was published in 1997 by his brother. Phone number of Muaarif Publisher is 042-7214662 Why his past is necessary to discuss and disclose? When ever zaid hamid is asked for his contacts with kazzab he always saying it a ‘ Zionist’s and kuffar’s blame game to stop his ‘mission’. In this research his actual reply and a detailed analysis of his reply is also included. If he were to say that in the past he was following yousuf kazzab and now he got Tauba from Allah and again became a Muslim then there was no need to criticize him on his past. But he refuses his relation with kazzab and all allegations and can not present any single evidences against all these solid evidences which are now part of the history and can not be ignored. (Those who think that zaid hamid has ‘cleared’ his position on this issue many times and he has ‘nothing to do with yusuf kazzab’ ..…they please must read till the end) If he cannot clear his position, It means he is still following kazzab and his belief is suspected and he has some suspected goals behind getting the trust of Pakistani nation by exploiting their love to the country and islam. He is “cashing” the hate of the nation toward Israel and India by using his strong speaking power and now he is forwarding towards next step to continue a movement like “Wake Up Lahore”. type slogans and program. He had also started his programs and lectures in colleges and universities of different cities. If a person having a sound and clear background were to start such thing then it was necessary to help him for every Pakistani, but if such person whose past is dangerous he can inject poison in the youth coating it as sugar any time. Why News Papers reported him as an active follower of yousuf Kazzab in 1996-97? Here are some parts of news reports of 1996-97 printed in many national news papers like khabrain, jang, takbeer etc which mention the role of Zaid Hamid as an active follower of yousuf kazzab during the protest and trial against him. All these news reports and columns were compiled later in a book named “Fitna yusuf kazzab”. How Zaid Hamid can reject these evidences and can claim that this is propaganda of CIA while these reports are published before his appearance as “patriot” and “Islamic scholar”? Complete book “ Fitna Yusuf Kazab “ is available on these links. http://www.scribd.com/doc/18431812/Fitna-Yusuf-Kazzab and http://www.esnips.com/web/completebookfitnayousufkazzabzaidzaman? docsPage=20#files 1- Yousaf kazzab deputed zaid zaman as his 1st khalifa in the presence of 100 “SAHABA”-.Book “ Fitna yousaf kazzab” page no 313, 427 and 404 “ reported by daily khabrain 8 nov 1997 It is notable that zaid hamid was working as manager in a security company Brink’s, After this he established his own security company Brasstacks and then converted it into a so-called think tank. The Audio Tape The audio tape of this meeting ( this tape was used as an evidence against Kazzab in court and it was scientifically proved by specialists that the voices in the tape are real )is also available on this link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEF1hnmIi4E Zaid Hamid also delivered a speech in this audio. They claim that voice is different from Zaid hamid but these are reasons of a slighter change in voice. 1- This was recorded 12 year ago and in this long period voice of every person gets a slighter change. 2- We have listened zaid hamid every time in an emotional and aggressive style but in video he is speaking in a slow tone to praise yusuf kazab. 3- If this tape is made “now” to involve him then why this audio tape and its containing words were published in newspapers in 1997?( below is given that report of newspaper ( book’s page no 94-95) which contains 100% same words of this audio tape. 4- Keep in mind that this audio was presented in court against kazzab if it was fake then why it was needed to “involve” zaid hamid 12 years ago? If you are his regular listener you can recognize his voice and style even after 12 years. 2- Zaid zaman was also part of a plan to escape yousaf kazzab from the jail to any other country as zaid zaman was 1- expert commando and 2- fought in afghan war. ( these two qualities of zaid zaman reported 12 years before clearly mention that this person was our ‘hero’ zaid zaman hamid) Book “ Fitna yousaf kazzab page no 51 “reported by weekly Takbeer 11-17 nov 1997 And page 306 reported by Daily Khaibrain 15 may 1997 . You may be confused that mobile number of yusuf kazzab’s wife given in above page is a Telenor number of 0342 code but telenor started it services in Pakistan in 2005 so how is it possible that a phone of 0342 code was working in 1997? Actually in 1997, PAKTEL had its code for Islamabad 0351 and for Lahore 0342 (they assigned these codes on PTCL city codes of Islamabad 051 and for Lahore 042 adding digit 3 with them.

  • War in Pakistan: the Effects of the Pakistani-American War on Terror in Pakistan
    WAR IN PAKISTAN: THE EFFECTS OF THE PAKISTANI-AMERICAN WAR ON TERROR IN PAKISTAN by AKHTAR QURESHI A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Honors in the Major Program in Political Science in the College of Science and in the Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida Orlando, FL Spring Term 2011 Thesis Chair: Dr. Houman Sadri ABSTRACT This research paper investigates the current turmoil in Pakistan and how much of it has been caused by the joint American-Pakistani War on Terror. The United States’ portion of the War on Terror is in Afghanistan against the Al-Qaeda and Taliban forces that began after the September 11th attacks in 2001, as well as in Pakistan with unmanned drone attacks. Pakistan’s portion of this war includes the support to the U.S. in Afghanistan and military campaigns within it’s own borders against Taliban forces. Taliban forces have fought back against Pakistan with terrorist attacks and bombings that continue to ravage the nation. There have been a number of consequences from this war upon Pakistani society, one of particular importance to the U.S. is the increased anti-American sentiment. The war has also resulted in weak and widely unpopular leaders. The final major consequence this study examines is the increased conflict amongst the many ethnicities within Pakistan. The consequences of this war have had an effect on local, regional, American, and international politics. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I express sincere thanks and gratitude to my committee members, who have been gracious enough to enable this project with their guidance, wisdom, and experience.

  • Journalism Caught in Narrow Nationalism: the India-Pakistan Media War
    Reuters Institute Fellowship Paper University of Oxford Journalism Caught in Narrow Nationalism: The India-Pakistan Media War by Dwaipayan Bose Hillary and Trinity Terms 2011 Sponsor: Thomson Reuters Foundation Acknowledgments In a profession marked by tight deadlines, breakneck speed, long hours, intense competition and pressure from both above and below, it is absolutely essential that one takes a break, rejuvenates the brain cells and finds out what’s happening to journalism across the world. In order to do that, one needs a helping hand, a catalyst. That, for me, has been the Thomson Reuters Foundation, my sponsor and the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, my place of study. I am deeply grateful to both for giving me the opportunity to spend six months in Oxford and absorb all that this great university town has to offer. Writing this paper, researching for it, studying at the Bodleian, attending seminars was an ‘Experience Extraordinary’. I am thankful to RISJ director Dr David Levy, head of the journalism fellowship programme James Painter, and director of journalism John Lloyd for structuring the fellowship in a way that left me intellectually stimulated and enlightened. Life and logistics were taken care of by RISJ administrator Sara Kalim, staffers Alex Reid, Kate Hanneford-Smith and Amanda Armstrong – all of whom were extremely kind and helpful. I can never thank Dr Daya Thussu, my guide, enough for the great interest and commitment with which he helped me navigate through this delicate subject. Senior journalists, editors of India, Pakistan and beyond have helped me, spoke to me and gave their frank and free views on the subject.

It is the man with a single idea who creates political and social revolutions, establishes empires and gives law to the world.”Allama Iqbal (R.A.) O Allah, grant us this piece of land where we would be able to live our lives in accordance with the laws given to us by You in the Qur‟an, and exemplified for us by the most revered and beloved, Syyedina RasulAllah (pbuh).This was the prayer throbbing in every true Muslim‟s heart in the pre-partition subcontinent, and then with eager ears and tearful eyes, they ultimately heard the announcement: “This is radio Pakistan.” Thus began the largest migration recorded in history and the heavens also witnessed the most brutal massacre of humanity ever.

  • Pakistan: Violence Vs. Stability
    PAKISTAN: VIOLENCE VS. STABILITY A National Net Assessment Varun Vira and Anthony H. Cordesman Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy [email protected] Working Draft: 5 May 2011 Please send comments and suggested revisions and additions to [email protected] Vira & Cordesman: Pakistan: Violence & Stability 3/5/11 ii Executive Summary As the events surrounding the death of Osama Bin Laden make all too clear, Pakistan is passing through one of the most dangerous periods of instability in its history. This instability goes far beyond Al Qa‟ida, the Taliban, and the war in Afghanistan. A net assessment of the patterns of violence and stability indicate that Pakistan is approaching a perfect storm of threats, including rising extremism, a failing economy, chronic underdevelopment, and an intensifying war, resulting in unprecedented political, economic and social turmoil. The Burke Chair at CSIS has developed an working draft of a net assessment that addresses each of these threats and areas of internal violence in depth, and does so within in the broader context of the religious, ideological, ethnic, sectarian, and tribal causes at work; along with Pakistan‟s problems in ideology, politics, governance, economics and demographics. The net assessment shows that these broad patterns of violence in Pakistan have serious implications for Pakistan‟s future, for regional stability, and for core US interests. Pakistan remains a central node in global counterterrorism. Osama Bin Laden was killed deep inside Pakistan in an area that raises deep suspicion about what Pakistani intelligence, senior military officers and government officials did and did not know about his presence – and the presence of other major terrorists and extremist like Sheik Mullah Omar and the “Quetta Shura Taliban.” Pakistan pursues its own agenda in Afghanistan in ways that provide the equivalent of cross- border sanctuary for Taliban and Haqqani militants, and that prolong the fighting and cause serious US, ISAF, and Afghan casualties.

  • Can the Left Become Relevant to Islamic Pakistan?
    Can The Left Become Relevant To Islamic Pakistan? THE LEFT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MARGINAL actor on Pakistan’s national scene. While this bald truth must be told, in no way do I wish to belittle the enormous sacrifices made by numerous progressive individuals, as well as small groups. They unionized industrial and railway workers, helped peasants organize against powerful landlords, inspired Pakistan’s minority provinces to demand their rights, set standards of writing and journalism, etc. But the Left has never had a national presence and, even at its peak during the 1970s, could not muster even a fraction of the street power of the Islamic or mainstream parties. A comparison with India is telling. While the Indian Left has also never attained state power — or even come close to exercising power and influence on the scale of the Congress Party — it looms large in states like Kerala, Tripura, and West Bengal where it successfully ended iniquitous feudal land relations. Across the country it helps maintain a secular polity, protects minorities, keeps alive a broad focus on progressive ideas in culture, art, and education, and uses science to fight superstition. Today, a Maoist movement militantly challenges the depredations of capitalism as it wreaks destruction on their native habitat. Left-inspired movements noticeably impeded passage of the U.S.-India nuclear deal. Indeed, for all its divisions and in-fighting, the Indian Left is a significant political force that is a thousand times stronger than its Pakistani counterpart. Surely this difference begs an explanation. The answer is to be found in Pakistan’s genesis and the overwhelming role of religion in matters of the state.

However, there has been surprisingly little systematic analysis of their content and influence. This article shows that, although the televangelists featured on the Pakistani television channels present some of the most conservative views regarding the role of women and religious minorities in society and the role of Islam in governance, Pakistani television is an arena of contestation.
