  • School Terrorism” in the Milieu of Peshawar Incident; Pakistan’S Black Day, December 16Th, 2014
    American Journal of Social Science Research Vol. 1, No. 4, 2015, pp. 196-205 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/ajssr Impacts of “School Terrorism” in the Milieu of Peshawar Incident; Pakistan’s Black Day, December 16th, 2014 Syed Sajjad Nasir Kazmi 1, Arshad Ali 2, * 1Department of Civil Engineering, MCE Risalpur Cantonment, KPK, Pakistan 2National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan Abstract Mankind has been suffering the disasters of many a types which had either been natural or manmade. All the geophysical and the hydro-metrological disasters are related to the nature but all anthropogenic disasters are related to the actions of the human- beings, whether covert or overt on one pretext or the other. One thing common for all is that these have deep penetrating impacts on the humans with respect to their way of life in the performance of gendered roles, usage of property and assets, balance of trade and economy as well as the layout of politico military and psychosocial infrastructure. Capacity building strategies too had been evolved to deal with and recover from all such impacts of disasters but the worst among all are the psychosocial impacts on women and especially on children which are time consuming to heal with. On one hand, a disaster may have huge volumetric effect but negligible impact on the psychosocial build up and vice versa depending upon the degree of human vulnerability and severity of the impact. As opposed to the natural or other manmade disasters, terrorism has its own significance in this context and among all other multidimensional aspects of terrorism, “School Terrorism” is considered to be worst carrying drastic and long lasting impacts on the exposed community.

  • Persian Gulf Crisis Consolidated Finding Aid
    Persian Gulf Crisis Consolidated Finding Aid SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE This collection consists of material related to the diplomatic and military response by the United States (as part of a multi- national force) to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990. The first part of the intervention, Operation Desert Shield, took place between September 1990 and January 1991. During this operation the U.S. and a coalition of other nations committed forces to protect Saudi Arabia from further Iraqi aggression. The military campaign to drive Iraq out of Kuwait, Operation Desert Storm, commenced on January 16, 1991, immediately following the expiration of a UN Security Council Resolution demanding the unconditional withdrawal of Iraqi forces. The WHORM Subject File Countries categories of CO072 and CO083 contain documents concerning Iraq and Kuwait, respectively. Most of the material in these categories concerns Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. Another large segment related to this subject is WHORM Subject File National Defense ND016 (Wars–Conflicts). A significant amount of material responsive to this FOIA is contained in the files of the National Security Council (NSC). Although these files are listed, it should be noted that most of these documents are security classified and have been closed under the restrictions of the Presidential Records Act and the Freedom of Information Act. These documents deal with topics such as the inspection and elimination of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction; diplomatic efforts to create the Gulf Coalition; US policy towards Iraq prior to the conflict; US efforts to assist Kurdish refugees, and military operations in the Persian Gulf Theatre.

  • Syed Nayyar Abbas Kazmi *
    RESOURCE MATERIAL SERIES No. 65 PAKISTAN: NOT A SOURCE BUT A VICTIM COUNTRY Syed Nayyar Abbas Kazmi * I. INTRODUCTION In the last several decades the use and trafficking of drugs has created problems for society in general and for law enforcement authorities in particular. The drug traffickers have always been a source of a relatively high level of crime but especially those of the modern day who are much more wealthy, powerful and even influential to the extent that they can pose a threat to national and international security. In some countries the drug trafficking organizations even have their own armed personnel. Drug trafficking involves an entire economic process including cultivation, harvesting, transportation, distribution and sales. Enforcement efforts can be targeted against any aspect of this illicit economic system. A systematic assault at all levels of illicit activity within the network is most likely to produce successful results. II. ANTI NARCOTICS FORCE PAKISTAN - AN OVERVIEW In February 1995 the Anti Narcotics Force (ANF) was constituted, which is now the Premier Law Enforcement Agency in the field of narcotics control. This composite and highly mobile force was given intensive training with a change in basic tactics from static check posts to mobile operations. Moreover tireless efforts by the Anti Narcotics Force of Pakistan to strengthen national and international cooperation in the war against illicit drug production have finally borne fruit, with the country having been declared‘Poppy Free’by UNDCP. The Anti Narcotics Force of Pakistan has made remarkable efforts to dismantle and unearth the drug mafia and seized huge quantities of illicit drugs and precursors and made thousands of arrests.

    Shīʿī Institutions of North America: An American Ḥawzah – An Interview with Shaykh Amir Mukhtar Faezi Shaan Rizvi The Shīʿī community in North America, from its earliest years, founded a number of organizations to provide institutional support for the community’s array of needs and goals. Many of the earliest founded institutions continue to exist today, though in an evolved form. This is the first in an installment of Occasional Papers that will explore the roots and developments of some of the community’s important institutions and projects through the eyes of the some of their prominent participants. In this issue, we begin the series with the ḥawzah in Medina, NY, as remembered by its head from 1988-1997, Shaykh Amir Mukhtar Faezi. ˚ ˚ ˚ By the grace and blessings of Allah (swt), on September 1, 2014, during a formal ceremony at the Baitul Ilm masjid, the Chicago Shīʿī community inaugurated the Ahl al-Bayt Islamic Seminary and welcomed its first batch of incoming students. The Seminary’s classes are currently taught by three esteemed faculty members and scholars of the Ḥawzah ʿIlmiyyah of Qūm: Shaykh Amir Mukhtar Faezi, Sayyid Sulayman Hassan and Shaykh Rizwan Arastu. The inaugural class consists of nine students, including five traditional-track and four alternative- track students. In the current semester, the students are studying Ṣarf (Arabic morphology), Naḥw (Arabic grammar), Fiqh, Tajwīd, and Kalām. Further, the Seminary’s curriculum is accredited by, and largely mirrors, the curriculum and texts taught in the Ḥawzah ʿIlmiyyah of Qūm. During the week, the students begin their day with Fajr prayers in congregation.

    The Muslim Brotherhood in North America (Canada/USA) Sabotaging the Miserable House through the Process of Settlement and Civilization Jihad1 2 “Here, we follow the teachings of the Muslim Brotherhood.” Date: 27 May 2014; Version 1.0 [email protected] The report was written by Tom Quiggin, a member of the Terrorism and Security Experts of Canada Network (TSEC). Concurrent research at the TSEC network includes a methodology project for intelligence analysts involved in the analysis of extremism. A Horizon Scanning project on the convergence of extremist ideologies is being readied for distribution in late 2014. This project was funded internally by the TSEC network. There is no government, corporate, media or foreign money involved. 1 See the Muslim Brotherhood’s (North America) policy statements in An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America (5/22/1991).

Their values and actions are frequently the antithesis of the Canadian Constitution, values and law. Despite statements to the contrary, the Muslim Brotherhood considers itself above local laws and national constitutions. *The Muslim Brotherhood’s use of settlement and the “process of civilization jihad” has proven effective. The long term aim is to globally impose a virulent form of political Islam to the exclusion of other faiths or systems.
