Pak Tea House » Al Qaeda, Opinion » What Pakistan thinks about the taliban
What Pakistan thinks about the taliban
By Momo Khan
I belong to an era in Pakistan where we fight against terrorism every single day. The stories to world of getting killed, blown up or abducted are realities to us. The thing which world fears has its home in Pakistan— the Taliban.
So, what is it Taliban… to me, Taliban is a fear, a fear which is haunting our abilities to erase them, to take back the charge from them and to stop them from further invasion into our religious and social freedom.
To no surprise Taliban encapsulate nefarious agendas and that too in the name of religion. Islam means peace which has its teaching poles apart from the practices of Taliban. Religion must be understood from its scripture not the followers. People here in Pakistan, are miffed with the conceptualization of Islam by Taliban, for them it's a wrong message being conveyed. We dislike Taliban for many reasons and first and foremost are the portraying of Islam according to their wills. How can a religion allow killing a young activist (Malala Yousafzai) for her educational advocacy? Getting blown up with several innocents never takes anyone to heaven but certainly makes lives behind much miserable.
Taliban sneaked into Pakistan when the war on terror heated up in Afghanistan; there were no Taliban before 2002 in Pakistan. Pakistan coalition with United States against the terrorism made it victim of merciless killing, abduction, bomb blasts and ban on girl's education. To majority in Pakistan, Taliban dwells on anarchy and is an out-lawed group of people.
People think that Pakistan has been divided into parts, one that is free from the worries (Rich or poor), living by religious beliefs and the other living in fear of Taliban. We believe that Taliban mindset is dictated by their cultural norms, too conservative to see their societies grooming and allowing their women to do household activities only. Taliban are promoting their culture, a culture which is a plague, away from the realities of this world.
So what does Taliban fears… education? The reason why Taliban fears education is the awareness being brought forth by education, a light into the darkness which gives strength to the roots and the branches of the minds began to grow widely. Education widens the vision and teaches us the difference between right and wrong. We as a society have the rights to stand up against the lawlessness but do not have the abilities. We fear Taliban, we fear to get tracked by them, for us our own lives are important than the rights of this society.
Many believes in Pakistan that Taliban force is not to be fought in their way, we have enough bloodshed of around 40,000 Pakistani in this holy war. There is no need to go below the belt and get further innocents blown up. There should be a dialogue— yes a cease fire with Taliban, what do they want out of this piece of land and what book of rules they follow.
It's not alone the Taliban who are attacking normalcy in Pakistan all by itself but their sudden burst out is surely the reaction of military operations being carried on in Tribal areas. Dictator government took this measure on its own showcasing the flash of power and began to kill down terrorists along with many innocents. This move ignited Taliban who later invaded into crowded areas in Pakistan and blew themselves up.
Today, here in Pakistan we fear Taliban, if we keenly understand their mindset it becomes easier to resolve this matter. Not more than 3-5% of Taliban are upholding nefarious agendas, the rest are either followers of this rule or away from the understandings of their regime. For us, the Pakistani, tribal area residents are our own blood, we cannot see them getting hurt by drones unleashed. As far the inhumane Taliban goes, we are afraid to look into their eyes and hear the sound of their breath. We have made Taliban a monster which in reality is not. This fear has helped out-lawed organization to widen and spread its tentacle across the country. While going into shopping areas or eating places we fear Taliban presence. Every bearded man attracts several eye balls. We go out praying for a safe return and come back thinking how are we safe despite so many incidents being shown on international TV about Pakistan.
The reality of these thoughts is nothing…there is no Taliban rooming on streets but it's the fear haunting us since many years. It was our choice to push them down hard with the use of power and erase them without listening to their demands. Of course Taliban has wounded our hearts and minds but somewhere the fault also lies in us for ignoring their areas for 50 years, no educational measures and health facilities ever provided to them. They grew and learnt on their own. Today, we have given enough space to the fear of Taliban then to the courage to face them and change them.

@ Momo
There is absolutely wrong perception about the Talibans. They are NOT against education….that is plain propaganda. The reason for their blowing up schools is related more to destroying places which might serve as sanctuaries for their 'enemies' who want to kill them..
If Talibans are as evil as you stated then why are two members of theirs invited to attend the Conference being held in France right now???
Only this one fact proves that they are fully not as generally imaged by political propaganda ….what they want is Islamic jurisprudence to prevail in their territory….and majority of them want this, by dint of democracy. Hold a referendum or elections there and they will surely win!!.
@AKB: Your foolishly falling for the western narrative. There is a world of difference between the Afghan Taliban and the Pakistani Taliban. I am not a fan of either of them.
But the Afghan Taliban is an unrelated separate organization, that is fighting imperialism in Afghanistan and a struggle to free it of American occupation.
The Pakistani Taliban are Takfiri extremists. Few elements among them are backed by RAW and CIA. While others are just plain religious extremists and takfiri Khwarij. This is the main point. They blow up everything in order to destabalize Pakistan as per thier religious extremist agenda which to an extent also forwards agenda of foreign powers.
Muhammed and his shahaba squad were first Taliban. All Taliban want is Islam like Muhammed, like bin quasim, bin laden and bin Jinnah.
If Pakistan can not give them Islam, then give them homeland to practice Islam freely.
A very well balanced written article about the so called Talibans! The opinion of the author is different from those of AKB which moe or less is the position that I have who has never sighted or experienced a Taliban during day time. Mustafa has additioal info about a group. Let me explain my anology of what the author has said;
. The fear in Pakistan is an import from America.
. There is nothing holy about a war. The word holy was first used by the crusaders agaist the arab population of Jerusalem.
. A muslim invokes religion in desperation, especially when his freedom, dignity and faith faces dark forces of the demons.
A dialog is the only recipee for peace; confrontation will force Pashtun leaders to separate from Pakistan which is currently ruled by evil forces. By the way the hate campaign of Pakistan Govt. under the slogan of nationalism in schools agaist non muslims is shabby and evil. No taliban faction is known to be involved here.

@ Mustafa
You are imitating Imran Khan's gibberish..Talibans are Talibans where ever theymay be found. However I have never seen a Taliban on the streets…never. -
@ Mustafa
Your comments make no sense, An Afghani Taliban who was fighting imperialism crosses into Pakistan and the magically he transforms into a Takfiri extremist, and he is now associated with RAW and CIA.
What an argument. I hope all of us Pakistanis don't think like you or we don't have a hope in Hell.
Reads like a high school essay with atrocious grammer.PTH your standards are taking a nosedive
CIA and RAW – Two favourite whipping boys for Pakistanis. Indians substitute ISI for RAW.
We should not use the taliban label for groups with different names such as Taqfiri extremists. The talibans are not extremists, their task is to clean up the mess with the use of explosives and suicide commandos. The common denomination between the two taliban groups is Resistance; whereas the Pakistani talibans have also the possibilty of sending uniformed opponents straight to the paradise, reserved for believers. The Afghan Talibans usualy come to Pakistan major cities peacefully during the lunch break, and after a Protein meal return to the front.
Rex Minor
Taleban of all stripes and across borders are wonderful and peaceable shalwar-clad gentlemen who are fighting a "godless" superpower and its mercenaries. Once the Taleban win which they will because they are pure, Pakistan and Afghanistan will turn into a land of milk and honey with highly educated men and women (previously suicide bombers) discussing (separately of course) the Taleban's major contribution to the development of modern arts and sciences.
@ saadh
A worm will turn if you step on him. Same is the case with the Talibans, regardless of who they are. They are defending their homeland and why shouldn't they do it?? Will you not? Will the Hindu's sit with their hands crossed if the gora comes and begins to publicly slaughter cows for his steaks?? Or, will the Indian Hindu's like if the gora bahadur comes again and lays a ban on ringing madir bells???No. then why overlook the real problem with the Talibans most of which are Pathans and Afghani's….cousins?
@ Mustafa
If the Pak Talibans are agents of RAW or ISI then it could equally be said that the Mirjai's are the slaves of MOSAD.
Pakistan is an Islamic country with Muslim majority. (Mirjai's are non Muslims and they must count them out)So, what buggers the West if they democratically want their faith to prevail in their homeland??? -
I see the stage when a common person cant distinguish between what is write and what is wrong. Sad.
The odd fact is that the very 'Taliban' who are abused daily by liberal Pakistanis would fight the hardest were Pakistan to be attacked by enemies like America and India. As a matter of fact, the only people who HAVE really given their all to fight against Pakistan's enemies are these much maligned Muslims.
The problem seems to relate exclusively to disparate visions regarding the nation's "internal" management – how is the land carved out for Muslims to be managed and defended – according to the tenets of Islam or according to the methods and traditions of America and/or India.
Very well written…..surprised to see Talent emerging
& I second all thoughts here -
Great work piece….I adore the spirit of speaking out, again WELL DONE @momo
If we want to resolve the issue then we must read about the actual fact & figures about the Taliban like what are the Taliban's, where did they come from etc.Pakistani Taliban said to the Government of Pakistan should focus on Pakistani domestic problems and withdraw from war-torn Afghanistan as soon as possible to prevent the deaths of more of Pakistani Peoples. That is right and in this article in paragraph No. 8 the author gave a better solution to resolve the issue.
Pakistanis s are tired of the war and the extravagant military expenses as every body knows that this is not our war. Government should listen to the people of the Pakistan and put an end to all the hollow wars call back the army from different points of Pakistan and stop the operation against innocent Pakistani citizens and withdraw all the services providing to the Americans in Afghanistan. I think this will break up the issue of Taliban in PAKISTAN . Good Effort and keep it up Momo@ -
Let us please do not complicate things more than they are! The talibans are Pashtuns whose culture of Pakhtunwali is linked with the rules of Ummah, the protection of family, the tribe and the one who has been granted asylum. Anyone who deviates from Pakhtunwali risks becoming an outcaste in his tribe.
They do not negotiate with any one outside their culture nor with those who use force agaist them. In any case they are not trustworthy outside their culture but freely accept money if it comes from the enemy.
Rex Minor
first of all, Brilliant piece of work!! though-provoking…I must say eye opener…n i loved these lines ——————-
"The stories to world of getting killed, blown up or abduction are realities to us" GREAT piece @MOMO -
A dialogue is a proper weapon for Tafqiris as well, whosoever they are.
Rex Minor
It was about time that after Malala drama, Momo came! Excellent piece that is attracting bloggers who were critical of those authors who bicker a lot but offer no solutions for the problems which Pakistan citizens are facing on a daily basis while the President of the country has become the roving ambassador for the western capitals.
Rex Minor
@Rex minor…. thankyou!! I have offered solutions = )
You are just great!! People like you have the power to determine their fate, one, two and more than two can force the earth to move, give way to the angel of peace and shun all those who are living in the cantonment of the Hindukush, with lethal arsenal of nukes, to spit them out at a short notice against one or another country.
Fear me and no one else, says our God who created us and this is the key, the code, to win over the enemy. The former military President of Pakistan choose to fear the yanks and brought fear to Pakistan.

Application Developers trying to beat 24-hour deadline before which they have to develop an app and impress the judges at the AppFest
Some have already given up, some still hopeful
Hanging in the middle of the spacious hall, huge digital clocks tick away for a count down of 24 hours. Fully loaded coffee machines are ready to serve through the night and in an adjoining room, few cots have been placed to provide power naps for the developers.
And to beat the deadline of 24 hours to come up with ideal mobile applications for a clutch of companies, close to 400 young app developers started to slug it out non-stop on Friday morning at the 'AppFest 2012' organised by Internet And Mobile Association of India (IAMAI).
The nail-biting phase to beat the deadline and present an impressive and workable app has begun. The strain in their eyes is already visible. Some have already given-up and are just happy to be a part of the process. Others, the more experienced and gritty ones, are still holding on to the hope of finishing the challenge and creating the perfect app in time.
The developers will work all through Friday night and by 10 a.m. on Saturday have to submit their apps to the judges. The AppFest 2012 is featuring two competitions- Hackathon and Challengathon- for developers. In Hackathon, developers come together to form a team and contest by designing an app of their choice to win a prize. In Challengathon, a team of developers will develop apps for private companies and if they succeed, they will get an opportunity to work for the companies in future. "We are participating in both the challenges. So, we just have 12 hours to develop each app. This is tough and challenging, but we are excited," says Vikash, fourth year engineering student from Institute of Technical Education and Research, Bhubaneshwar, Odisha. Along with five others, the engineering students are attempting to make an app for J.K. Ansell Group, the manufacturer of Kamasutra condoms. The developers have been asked to design apps for any one of the companies that include Ashok Leyland, Makaan.com, J.K. Ansell, Marico, Geetanjali, Allen Solly and HDFC Standard.
"We have decided to work on an app for Ashok Leyland. We are hoping that the app will turn out to be just fine," said T. Satish Kumar, Co-founder and Chief Architect for CloudPact, a start-up company. The apps designed by the developers will be judged by experts and winners will be declared on Saturday.

good article. kudos to the writer.
You are a fine inividual and sincere too and write a lot. But I have not the clue what your post is all about. People of Pakista are running around like healess chickens while their political leadership ca neither manage the affairs of the citizens nor their relations with other muslim and non muslim world. You tlk about education and wealth; the two have nothing in common; your istitution should facilitat the 'bildung', the development of individual humans who with inovation can turn around and straighten the world before them. The Indian Tycoon Mittal was rcently accused by France to have been telling lies to the French Govt. about his investment plans; it is now revealed that all his life he has been engaged in lies to the Indian leaders as well. Despite promises he has not followed through in any Indian project which should improve the economic welfare of the people i India. His entire fortune is invested in Africa, USA and Europe.Germans love sport and have the institutions and facilities for it; they are racing champions because the motorways in the country have practicaly no speed limits. Besides we drive on the right side and act in the right mode, whereas you people drive on the wrog side. This has othig to do with MBA! Capitalism without a social market economic system can no longer survive in civilised societies. The new economic order must bridge the vast difference between the haves and the have nots before the world returns to anarchy and revolutions.

20 cents an hour for the textile labour in Bangla Desh, where the factory has no exit in case of fire, to supply the product to wall Mart for the American consumer is below the dignity of a human. -
@Rex Minor
What you do since you know alot about Pakistan's grave problems?
@momo_khantweets -
OVER-PRODUCTION. Who asked Bangladeshis to produce kids (in excess of their ability to feed them to age 18 ?). Set aside skills/soft and hard., i am talking in 'survival-threshold' terms ! Who asked Pakistanis to over-produce 18 crores. The population of US is 300 MM. Combined (Pak and Bangladesh) population exceeds the US population !
Masha Allah !
Due to over-production, the seed of Adam., is cheaper than a man-made gadget (for instance Samsung III or Apple's i-Phone). This is a harsh reality ! There is a limit to bluffing.
Punjabi (only spoken. Language without script. SO naturally no literature is produced. Punjabi is written in Urdu in W. Punjab… and Gurmukhi Script in E. Punjab). SO its okay for verbal communication (BOLI/Dialect hai). They talk about Bulhe Shah., Noorjehan, Anarkali, Iqbal, Jinnah.. only PAST.
Fine, they were all great.. but where are the ICONS of my Generation. 2012 ? Why have you failed to produce men and women who are gifted.. creative.. creators of WEALTH – Institutions – knowledge !
Only talk of Kabab – food street – Anarkali ! Huh. I dont care a damn about the 3 ? WHere is your Silicon Valley ? Where are your Start-ups.
Only talk about the Past.. and a desire to re-create THAT ! Huh ! Even God cannot change the past. Its best to bury the past.. and move on.. and CREATE a great Present. The PRESENT is the main thing. The past is deadwood.
Over-population : Will lead to a situation when man is cheaper than a goat (infact man is a 2-legged goat). So they must go for fewer children… or no children at all. Look at China's 1-child policy. It entailed huge personal pain (in micro terms)… but for a SOCIETY.. from a societal viewpoint.. IT WAS CORRECT. It was a correct intervention.
So instead of goods and Intellectual Property.. send men thru-out the world.. to clean cars.. roads.. do odd jobs.. (and talk about the future. Noorjehan – Jinnah – Iqbal)..
Allah has gifted vast amount of wealth in the form oil to Muslims so that they can pray to Allah almighty. Mahdi will destroy the western civilization.
Unless the entires world is Islamic, Allah will not be happy.
Population growth is allah's gift to Muslims, so that they can overpower the kuffar.
Urdu and punjabi are both kuffar languages. Arabic is allah's mother tongue. Every Muslim should learn Arabic so that Quran can be understood directly.
I am a blogger and write my views to stimulate others and my interest is in human brains which is rarely used since the geist(mind and soul) play a greater role on humans decisions. I also try where applicable ,to point out that peoples actions do not always reflect their faith.
People from your part of the world are highly emotional and most of the times overreact to what in the west is a normality. Pakistan problems are not graver than that faced by any other country in the planet. Incompetence, corruption and criminality is more serious in the Western world than that in the East.
We are in recession because the Lehman Bros went broke in USA. The Greeks rich do not pay taxes and other European rich avoid taxes and deposit their wealth in Switzerland and Malaysia. Our politicians are influenced by the lobbyists who support poltical campaigns with illegal money. The capitalism is based on corruption which is now imbedded in institutions. But this is another subject. Good luck an if you hve time send a copy of your article to your political and military leaders.

our goverments dont want the population capable of critical thinking.
they just obedient workers.people smart enough to run the machine and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation. -
Our existance gives us freedom! Our freedom helps us to think idependently and without any coersion or force, we act because we are endowed with human reaction. Reaction is very important and could be energised with a week or two of physio-therapy.
What is the Govt task. in all this. Human initiative is required, the less the role of the Govt in a project the more successful would be its completion. Beauracracy creates obstacles. Watch how NGO's operate, without any private funds but with charity contributions. There is a lot of unused money in the system; just grab it and with a bit of enterpreeour talent you are the CEO.
Rex Minor
Sorry I was away for a while, didnt get time to respond. But here goes.
Many say that the Pakistani Taliban are Afghanis crossing over from Afghanistan. THIS IS FALSE. THE AFGHAN TALIBAN AND PAKISTAN TALIBAN HAVE NO COMMON PERSONNEL. Pakistani Taliban consist of Pakistani AND NON AFGHAN MILITANTS.
Someone previously mentioned I was wrong because Afghan Taliban come to Pakistan to fight Pakistan Army, this is false! They have no relation whatsoever.
@Arshad: I responded to your comment above. The point is beig open minded. I HOPE PEOPLE ARE OPEN MINDED REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY THINK LIKE YOU OR ME.
@AKB: I dont know who Mirjai's are but nevertheless, like I mentioned the Pak Taliban and Afghan Taliban are worlds apart. The only thing they have in common is the word "Taliban" in thier name, thats all!
Taliban like many other labels are open to misrepresentation and hijacking.
@Mohammad Iqbal: Giving an analysis of foreign forces in Pakistan IS NOT TO SHIFT THE BLAME AWAY FROM OUR OWN STUPIDITY AND OUR OWN WEAKNESS. THE PURPOSE IS TO GIVE AN ANALYSIS . We are the main people at fault! If we improve our education , poverty, and our security, both enemies foreign and domestic will never succeed in making trouble.
The unfortunate part is that bloggers and opiniated people attack people who think differently from them. Everyone wants to say that I am right and everyone else is wrong, it is this mentality that keeps us from having a productive discussion.
No one is wrong! Everyone has an opinion and everyone has the possibility to learn from one another. I am certainly tryig to learn all along. We are the society of knowledge and collectively we shall overcome the conflicts if we have solutions for social problems. Both Afghanistan and Pakistan were first destabilised and only later became the free for all foreign elements while the majority citizen looked on as non participant spectators. Neither the media nor the regular talk shows reached the majority of the populace.
Two great actors who caused destabilisation were the military commanders of foreign force as well as of Natioal armies. Both these elements must first be deactivated so that the civilian leadership restore their control in the communities. Natives and natives alone can protect their own villages and towns.
The alternative would be to turn Pakistan into a gang-ho land copying the American way of life which the world is witnessing.
Rex Minor
Agree, Pakistan problems are not graver than that faced by any other country in the planet. Incompetence, corruption and criminality is more serious in the Western world than that in the East.
Hurrah there is agreement between the two great social scientists Momo and Manure that:
"Pakistan problems are not graver than that faced by any other country in the planet. Incompetence, corruption and criminality is more serious in the Western world than that in the East."
Beam me up, Scotty!
TRUE STORY…………………Modi: The opium for Gujarat's masses
As expected, the Gujarat elections could hardly have escaped national attention. Narendra Modi will have probably won the polls even before the last votes are counted. This nation is at the crossroads: a demagogic leader, conceited in thoughts and uncompromising in actions, is wiping clean his past with the present. He could soon push India into a phase of unilateral politics, ascending to the very top. This could also mean less legroom for India's much-vaunted democracy.
In Gujarat, the meek has had little chance of inheriting the earth. It's for those who can marshal industry, movie stars and pricey international lobbying firms to create a hallucination-inducing hallo around their heads to hold nation spellbound.
What will Gujarat be remembered for? What should it be remembered for? As a vibrant economy or as India's Auschwitz?
I still remember my 2008 summertime trip to Gujarat – Ahmedabad first, Vadodara and then to Surat. It was an early morning flight. At the airport, Mahmood Madni, the Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind leader, rolls out his Persian-style prayer rug at the VIP lounge of Indira Gandhi International Airport. Its time for the fazr namaz, the first of the five daily prayers. Soon, a prominent BJP leader, Ravi Shankar Prasad, strolls in. The men exchange warm greetings.
Yet, they are headed in different directions: Madni was going to extend a hand of support for Gujarati Muslims and Prasad was flying to Patna to shore up some more support for his Hindutva-based party, whose leader Modi is often accused of letting deadly mobs butcher Muslims in 2002, although he denies this.
An aisle seat separated Madni's seat from mine. On an empty stomach, the frugal Air India breakfast seemed like a hearty meal, which gave way to a wink of sleep.
On arrival at Ahmedabad, swarms of Muslims greeted the maulana with passionate hugs. Soon, we were joined by Mahesh Bhatt, the Bollywood film-maker whose support for Muslims is now famous. From there, we proceeded to a venue where Bhatt and Madni addressed a huge crowd, denouncing terror yet accusing authorities of picking up innocent Muslims merely on suspicion.
During the course of the next two days, I got glimpses of a changing Gujarat. A tarmac-like highway to Surat via Vadodara, half-finished residential high-rises, glass-fronted office buildings and brisk business, with the state's own version of Davos, called "Vibrant Gujarat".
Duty waivers for developers of IT parks, concessions for investors lapping up special economic zones, cheap real estate, cheaper power, labour laws loaded in the favour of employers and AAPCO Worldwide, an influential PR machinery – all of this and more, so that you can take in the change. It is Modi's temerity that he frequently criticizes Indian prime minister Manmonhan Singh for his single-minded worship of economic growth, while being unmindful of ordinary folks, although that's exactly all Modi has been singularly gunning for.
India's Auschwitz
These days, they say a lot is changing in Gujarat. But is this changing the lot of its millions? Rather than what's changing in Gujarat, I am interested in what's not.So, the next morning, after breaking bread with a family, I headed to India's Auschwitz, a walled residential complex called Gulbarg Society In Ahmedabad that burned with sectarian rage under Modi's watch.
An iron gate opened to a narrow path, lined on either side by empty houses with windows shut tight.
At the first instant, these homes seemed to house happy families behind its walls, basking in the privacy of shut doors and windows. It's only when 42-year-old Maulana Hakimuddin, my guide, opens one of the windows of that horror strikes.
It was a window to a lost world from where dead people wailed in my mind's ears. Empty rooms, house after house. Blackened walls, toppled chairs. Each house had its own a horror story. After all, close to 70 people had died here, waiting for help from police that never came.
Every other day, bakery worker Abdul Hannan takes groups of curious Muslims on a tour of Gulbarg Society as if it were another mausoleum. Hannan hates it, but visitors insist he lead them down memory lane.
Gulbarg Society's lane is a cul-de-sac. It leads to Ehsan Jafri's house that stands as a testimony to an unspeakable crime. Nearby, Jafri's remains lie buried in what is a small mound. On February 28, 2002, a mob hacked its residents, including Jafri, and dumped their bodies into fire. They then danced over the dead.
Muslims transiting the city often come inquiring about Jafri's house. "People come to just gaze at Jafri's house in silence," said Hannan. "They either get in touch with local mosques or with the Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind office."
Almost a week after rioters cleaned Gulbarg Society of all signs of life, Hakimuddin, accompanied by a Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind team, reached the plundered neighbourhood on the morning of March 6.
Hakimuddin was rushed urgently to bury those killed, including Jafri, as required by Islamic religious norms. Hakimuddin, who is now the national general secretary of Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind, wants a mausoleum built where Jafri's empty house stands.
In changing Gujarat, little has changed inside Gulbarg Society. Another visit a year later, the same old shrieks ring out from behind the doors and windows. Restless souls in search of peace, whose wails hit a sound barrier called AAPCO Worldwide.
Inside a Delhi safehouse
Yakoob Rasool has haunting eyes. They are cold. The man is cautious, unwilling to lower his guard. He will not tell you where he lives. Or what his future holds for him. But you will understand his discretion once you know who he is: the husband of Gujarat riots survivor Bilkis Yakoob Rasool Bano.On a windy afternoon of January 2008, I had met him at a safe-house in the sprawling heart of Delhi. He was taking a quiet break from a battle that had entered a turning point. A Mumbai court had convicted 12 people, including a police official, for attacking 14 members of Bilkis' family, in which eight were killed and six went missing.
The Rasools hate Randhikpur — a small hamlet some 250 km from Ahmedabad — where they lived in a small cluster of 60 households belonging to the local Ghanchi Muslim community. Ghanchis traditionally are members of the Tablighi Jamaat or voluntary Muslim preachers who are often looked upon suspiciously.
Rasool, however, like others of his ilk, was a cattle-rearer and a milkman. "It's difficult to believe that the people who I supplied milk to each morning had raped my wife in turns and slaughtered my relatives. They knew who Bilkis was their doodhwala's (milkman's) gharwali (wife)," he says.
When Bilkis was raped, Rasool decided that there was no point hiding it to avoid social embarrassment. He decided not to rest till justice was done. "Organised sexual violence was used as a tool," says human rights activist Malini Ghose, who along with colleagues, Lucknow-based Huma Khan and Delhi-based Farha Naqvi persuaded prominent lawyer Harish Salve to take up her case.
Reflect on what happened in Randhikpur on February 28, 2002, a day after unidentified people torched a train bogey carrying kar sevaks (Hindu devotees) in Godhra, killing them in a horrific moving inferno.
It started as a sunny morning, calm and cool. Rasool could soon sense that Randhikpur's skies had turned black with smoke. When the fires started by mobs reached his doorstep, Rasool knew what was going on — mass murder. He gathered Bilkis and all other women, asking them to flee as a group. The men would take another escape route.
Rasool thought the rioters might opt to leave the women unharmed. The strategy did not work. On a lonely stretch a few km away, one neighbour raped Bilkis and another shoved his foot into her mouth, even as she desperately wanted to tell them she was pregnant. They then tossed her three-year-old girl in the air so that she would smash her head upon landing on the rocky ground on that road to death in Panevala.
It's the native optimism of Muslims – the Quran forbids cynicism — that makes Rasool say Hindu-Muslim unity in Gujarat is possible. "Log agar chahein to mumkin hai, par Narendra Modi ko jaana hoga (it can happen if people want, but Narendra Modi has to go)." Gujarat doesn't look prepared to make that change yet, where Muslims and Hindus still live largely separated lives.
Sad is a sad case; it was Rene Descartes the 17th centurytheologist and thinker who said along the line that since no one complains about the common sense which each one of us has, simply proves that God has provided equal share of common sense to all. He was in error;
1. How could the one with less should know about it?
2. How should one know if the common sese one is born with is gesund/healthy in english.Unfortunately, you are a unique case affected by above two and after having lived with the inferiority complex over react to social ills of your society and overlook the inherent corrupt democratic order of the western societies. Do ot tell me that you are not unaware of the organised Mafia in Italian politics or the about the lobbyist controlled houses in the land of milk, honey and equal opportunity.

40,000 americans are estimated to die in 2013 if the afro-am President does not take the lead for a gun control, says the mayor of New York.Pakistan leaders need only to have a dialogue with tribal leaders of the groups, who are operating under the label of taliban and intruding into security areas with their fireworks.
Rex Minor
Afghans have the real solution for Pakistan. Afghan only can bring real Islam to Pakistan. Once Pakistanis follow true Islam, there will be peace and prosperity. Islam is the only answer.
@Rex Minor well, dialogue with Taliban is certainly the only solution to the prevailing issues, we need to feed this into our ruling leaders to halt bombardment, leashing drones etc.
@MilesToGo I agree to disagree that only Taliban know Islam and have solutions to our problems. to me, it's all about winning hearts and minds of the people !! We need a leadership which has the tendency to maintain balance in the society and not to impose what they believe in. we all are Muslims and already follow the scripture of Islam, we don't need an extremist mindset to lead !!
If we were following Islam correctly, there would have been peace and prosperity in Pakistan.
We really need to follow Islam to have peace and prosperity !!
I heard this evening Pakistan foreign minister on BBC Panorama program stating that the Govt. of Pakistan is against the America drones which is loosing us the war to win hearts and mind of people though the Americans are winning the battles. She also stated that they, the Pakistan Govt. and the American aministration will come to an agreement.
The rational attitude of the Pakistan Govt. should be to degrade the diplomatic relations with the USA Govt. as a first step towards terminating all agreements if the Yanks do not respect the sovereignty of Pakistan.Rex Minor
PS The Drone commander is on his way to witness the collateral damage in New Port.
Umma should stop selling oil to kuffar – drone attacks will stop the same night.
There is a reason why Allah gifted oil to Muslims.
Taliban are simple people, they are not materialistic like PAkistanis. All they want is Islam. They are sacrificing their lives for Allah – that is enough evidence that they are more committed to Islam than Pakistanis. Pakistani's are getting kaffirized by the day.

Offering another reason for proper sun care for the skin, a new study shows sunburn, as well as family history, may be a cause of rosacea.
New research suggests that people with the reddening skin condition rosacea tend to have a family history of the disease and a personal history of sunburns. Rosacea, a chronic condition that commonly affects the face and can also cause swelling and vascular abnormalities, affects roughly 14 million Americans. Its cause is unknown.
In a Boston-based study of 130 people, half with moderate to severe rosacea and half without, 34% of those with the disease reported having a relative who also had the skin disorder, whereas only about 10% of those without the disease had it in their family. The researchers also found that 44% of people with rosacea reported having had blistering sunburns at some time, compared with just more than 5% of the others.
"Even when we did a more sophisticated analysis of the data controlling for age and gender, we found these findings were statistically significant and confirmed our previous findings," Alexa Boer Kimball, MD, an associate professor of dermatology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, said. "Although these results are quite preliminary, they are important for future research as we start to explore these positive associations and their implications in controlling this condition."
Kimball presented the findings at the American Academy of Dermatology's annual meeting held recently in San Francisco.

I welcome comments on my habits.
I make a 1.5 cubic yard batch of compost twice a year in my single bin. One spring I didn't get around to using the newly finished batch, and so I stored it. I have been one pile behind in using it ever since. When each batch is finished, I spread it out on tarps to dry thoroughly. Then I laboriously screen it and use the largest pieces as mulch or put it back to start the new pile. The rest I put into plastic sacks at about 2.5G each, that being a convenient amount in weight and size to carry through the beds when I disperse it. I squeeze the air out and twist the sack shut and place all of them in a 55 gallon drum. It fills the drum entirely. I put the air-tight lid on the drum, then wait about 6 months before using. One Fall, when I opened the drum I found the very finest, blackest, most completely composted material I have ever seen. It all looked like worm castings, but I don't remember if I found worms. I don't know what I did differently when I put it up the Spring before, but I suspect that I skipped the drying and screening process which might have allowed for anearobic activity to take over. I wonder if anyone suspects anaerobic decompostion or worms. I have started using more coffee in my piles and have lots of tiny worms in my almost-finished batch. I think my usual drying and sifting would likely kill the worms, and it seems like they would die, anyway, in sealed-up sacks of dry compost. What do you think? And do you think they would live in wetter material in sealed sacks for 6 months? |
Follow-Up Postings:
sounds like a lot of work for no benefit ... all that's needed to 'store' compost is to pile it out of the way and let it be to mature at it's own rate ... the worms will be much happier, and you'll find when you go to use it a year later it's much finer and requires less screening, or none if the material is still wet/moist, the worms will keep working for a long time, even closed up, if you really dry it [or when it dries on it's own], they'll leave lots of cocoons and die off also if the compost is basicly "done" but simply not fully mature, and isn't soggy, dripping wet, there won't be any "anaerobic decomposition" Bill |
I have to agree with squeeze, Tom. My only comment on your habits would be 'Why'? Do you have a lot of spare time on your hands? If you have compost just put it on your garden. It doesn't matter when or where. Why move it around repeatedly? And why dry it? You have to spread it on your tarps, so why not spread it on your ground? If you put a second bin beside the first you could just move the compost from one to the other and avoid all that unnecessary effort. |
No, mine goes from bin to garden. I don't even own a screen, or even a wheel barrow to lug it around. Sometimes I use my neighbor's, or mostly I use an $8 kids plastic sled- it's much easier. Karen |
Tom, I found myself in the same dilemma with extra compost a few years back as you did. Since that time I have always been at least a year or more ahead in compost making. However, I do not let my compost dry or seal it in bags, this is not a good thing in my opinion. Since the composting process does not stop after the initial heating process has ended, one may want to make sure said compost is in the best environment for continued decomposition. With maintaining adequate moisture and air, composting will continue with a lowering of the C:N ratio in the compost. This is the best situation to find oneself in, again IMO. You may find the link provided of interest to your situation. Do have a great day today… Blutranes |
Here is a link that might be useful: Superior Compost Making
I can't imagine having too much compost. I didn't think there was any such thing. |

Video: The Coffee Foundry in NYC
Posted on February 19, 2011 by Mike
"Everything about The Coffee Foundry – from the small-batch backyard roasting to the methodical coffee preparation – probably seems inefficient to the average on-the-go city dweller. Yet these perceived limitations are exactly what allow co-founders Wilson Park and Norman Mui to hold total control over the experience they offer. Although they've been working to perfect their roast profiles over the past seven years, the high overhead costs associated with opening a storefront prevented them from making their product available to the general public. And that's where the story gets interesting: Wilson and Norm formed an unlikely partnership with a karaoke bar in NYC's West Village to start a daytime business and serve their coffee to an appreciative audience that grows daily. While the west coast boasts a veritable renaissance in artisanal coffee roasting and preparation, operations like the Foundry's are few and far between in NYC. We spent a day at their roast site and in their shop to learn more about how the Coffee Foundry is changing the landscape of the east coast coffee scene one cup at a time."
Directed by Kellen Dengler.
For more information:
I think this is a lovely video, and the passion that Wilson and Norman have is pretty evident. That said, I don't think passion automatically translates into quality, and in fact disagree with some of their statements on coffee brewing.

Home › Academics › Colleges › College of Engineering and Natural Sciences › Departments and Schools › Department of Geosciences › News, Events, and Publications › News › Geologist to Discuss Possible Causes of Earth's Cooling in Oct. 17 Lecture
Wednesday, October 16, 2002
The possible causes of Earth's drop in average temperature from about 75-degrees Fahrenheit 50 million years ago to an average global temperature of approximately 64.5 degrees today will be the topic of a public lecture by a geologist on Thursday, Oct. 17, at The University of Tulsa.
William W. Hay will present his illustrated talk at 7:30 p.m. in Room M-1 of Keplinger Hall, 5th Street and Harvard Avenue, home of the College of Engineering and Natural Sciences.
TU's geosciences department will also hold an open house from 7 to 7:30 p.m., including rock, mineral and fossil displays, as part of the department's observance of Earth Sciences Week.
Hay says the planet's cooling is one of the most important trends in the Earth's climate history and has resulted in the different regional climates seen today. "We are in one of the brief periods of global warmth of the last 2.5 million years. Most of that time large ice sheets have covered much of eastern North America and western Europe."
Hay recently retired from GEOMAR, a marine geological research institute attached to Christian-Albrechts University in Germany.
For additional information, call the TU geosciences department at 631-3248.

Rev. Sidney Smith was an English writer and clergyman (the "Billy Graham" of his day). He was appointed Canon of St. Paul's by our friend Charles Grey. Sidney Smith was obviously a tea lover, and most of us probably know him by his two most famous tea quotes:
"Thank God for tea!
What would the world do without tea!
I am glad I was not born before tea."

On the fine day of Mon, 27 Sep 2004 08:46:46 -0700 (PDT) Jeff Donsbach <jeff_donsbach@...> said very eloquently: > I'm just curious what kernel ebuild folks are using on > Alpha. I'm running sys-kernel/grsec-sources-126.96.36.199.0.1-r1. I don't know much about the alpha-sources kernel, the gentoo-sources kernel, or alpha-specific features. I'm mainly concerned with security. I was running vanilla-sources but a security advisory came out a couple months ago where vanilla-sources was not patched as quickly as grsec-sources, so I switched to that.

Naphalai Chantarasak Areesorn '74 is editor-in-chief of the upscale Thai lifestyle magazine, Thailand Tatler. She has been involved with the popular and successful monthly since the first issue 21 years ago, when she joined the staff as a consulting editor. She assumed the full-time position of editor-in-chief after leaving Chiva-Som Health Resort, an award-winning spa that she started in 1991 and managed for the next 10 years. In addition, she heads the editorial team of Blue Mango Publishing, publisher of Thailand Tatler, and its many other products.
Naphalai came to the U.S. from Thailand in her early childhood, attended Western for two years, then spent her junior year in Switzerland and returned to the U.S. to graduate from Colorado Women's College in 1974. As a freshman at Western, she was one of 16 students living on the French corridor in Mary Lyon. Many close friendships were formed there as the small group shared the intensive experience of immersing themselves in all things French and, of course, speaking the language exclusively. They also had a lot of fun together. Good friend and classmate Betsy Salt, who visited Naphalai in December, remembers going ghost hunting in the largely deserted dorm. They didn't find any ghosts, but enjoyed exploring the attic. Naphalai was not an eager participant, as Thai culture and Buddhist religion instill a fear of ghosts.
Naphalai returned to Thailand in 1974, completed an M.B.A. and spent the next 30 years in the media and hospitality industries, working for Bangkok newspapers and hotels. She is the founder of the Thai Spa Association, was its first president, and continues to act as an adviser. Naphalai and her husband live in Bangkok and have two sons, both in investment banking — one in Bangkok and one in London.
Donna Zimmerman '04, from Cincinnati, made it perfectly clear as a first-year student in the Western College Program that she had an abundance of imagination. Together with team members, she submitted a proposal for a Natural Systems lab, the purpose of which was "to determine if there is a significant correlation between the lunar cycle and social activities and alcohol intake among Miami University college students living in dorms." As a second-year, Donna petitioned and was accepted for enrollment in a team-taught pilot course, Rivers: Images, Policy and Science, part of the brand-new major in environmental science. Although they studied the hemisphere's major rivers, they also took local field trips to Bachelor Wildlife Reserve … and the Western Duck Pond! Appropriately, she worked part-time in the WCAA office that year. So no one should have been surprised when Donna (who now lives in Brooklyn, NY) made news last year, winning a contest sponsored by Urban Space NY, a special retail market developer, for most creative use of a repurposed shipping container. She and three cohorts (not the former WCPers) founded BBOX, a complete full-service radio station, entirely contained within and broadcasting live from a metal cargo container. Donna told GOOD magazine, "We're hoping to get some remarkable and wide-ranging material from the community. Brooklyn is full of wildly creative, insightful and opinionated folks. We created BBOX Radio to give them a platform."
They did just that. BBOX is today an established freeform community radio station, presenting original programming that includes music, radio journalism, screenings, live performances, exhibits and more. They have broadcast from the Brooklyn Historical Society; been covered by the Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, and others in addition to GOOD; and featured on-air via WNYC's Culture Desk, NY1, Britain's BBC Radio 5 Live and Japan's NHK. So successful that they have outgrown their box, they have relocated to the Brooklyn neighborhood of Williamsburg and plan to move into a brick-and-mortar studio this summer. BBOX is accessible to audiences on-site, and online at http://www.bboxradio.com/.

Hey ! Looking for a new AP mid at any price. asking you guys to give me your opinions on a couple of genuine AP mids that you can suggest for me to buy. I currently own Cass, Kass, Gragas, Ahri, Morg, Anivia, Evelynn, Katarina, Ryze, Teemo and Twisted Fate. Thanks.
Master Recruiter
Talon is the best AP mid. Oh wait.. Ziggs, but not without the pool party skin. The pool party skin offers a 4% shadow damage increase to all abilities after 500.
qa analyst
looking at your list i'd recommend trying out orianna, karthus, and/or leblanc. i'm personally a huge fan of viktor and annie, but they play a bit differently than the ones you've mentioned. definitely worth looking into if you're up for a change of pace though!
Syndra is a lot of fun to play, a few bugs with her skills, but those are supposed to be fixed next patch
Magus Crow
I'd say look at Orianna or Zyra.
Give AP Sion a try. He sounds cut & dry, but: get Boots/2 Dorans > Boots of Mobility > Deathfire. Watch the fun. His burst is pretty huge, and that point & click stun coupled with his ability to insta-clear mid then run ganks makes him a nightmare against unorganized teams. As an added bonus, Lich Bane proc is physical damage, which counts for his ult's lifesteal. That + his shield gives him some impressive survivability in situations he really should die otherwise. Finally, thanks to his E, ult, and building AP, he eats towers. Downsides: he's melee (although a strong melee mage), and he's very susceptible to CC (positioning is huge and why Mobility is #1 until later in the game when you're grouping more and can sell it for Mercs or Tabi). Upsides: Easy mode on getting CS, great ganker/pressure maker, offers your team a lot of utility if nothing else from his Q and ult, punishes typical aggressive junglers hard if they're not really on the ball when ganking, can be a Lumberjack.
I'll put a word in for Brand. He doesn't specifically counter anything currently popular in the meta, but he is all sorts of fun to play. Skillshot reliant if you want to get the most out of him. Patience reliant if you want to get the most out of him (ult timing).
Zyra and Diana are fresh off the lot and a lot of fun to play. It kind of depends on what your play style is though. Do you like the passive farm games or to try to assassinate and make plays across the map? Also, Cho is ridiculously strong right now in any lane as AP and has a lot of choices in items/builds, definitely suggest giving him a tryout.

VIDEO INTERVIEW: Jean-Frédéric Dufour, CEO of Zenith Watches
2011 was a really good year for Zenith. 2011 proved to the watch-buying world that 2010 was no fluke, and that high-end complications with simple solutions, just like the incredible Striking Tenth chronograph, would be part of the Zenith lineup moving forward. This year's Captain Winsor was also a favorite among those looking for true complications at a practical price point, made possible by a thoughtful partnership with Ludwig Oechslin and the MIH.

The dreaded leaf curl has hit me again. The first crop had bloom end rot on the fruit, and leaves curling up, yellow in the margins and purple underneath. I have found so many different opinions on this issue. I found a good page that says it is a calcium deficiency - so I have added a carbo-blast. I have also found that it might be a Mg deficiency as will.
Any opinions... I found this helpful site |

Deficiency of the macro-nutrients can cause this, mainly N and P. Also MG, Sulfur and calcium def. Lack of cal causes blossom end rot usually and the other deficiencies can cause the leaves to trun purple because the newer growth is pulling the nutes from the lower parts of the plants. |

The first real pop culture reference to store window design (that I can recall) was in the late '70s TV show, "Rhoda," in which Mary Tyler Moore's best friend/neighbor Rhoda Morgenstern worked as a window decorator at a local Minneapolis department store. She was known for her bold designs which eventually led her to a job decorating department store windows in Manhattan. Even today, with all the froth around visual online excellence and its role in digital commerce, nothing has taken the place of the drawing power and impact of a beautifully draped store window.
I draw you attention to what is, in my opinion, one of the consistently best window displays around: the ever-changing, attention-getting one at Selfridges & Co. on Oxford Street in London. Selfridges' windows do more than draw attention with their exquisite, offbeat visual simplicity, they encourage you to enter the store and continue your experience across their many specialty departments. The window display works because even with its detail and sophistication, passersby immediately get the message: its spring, come buy yourself a new dress and your mum Easter lilies. Contrast this with a visual experience that offers art yet confuses the buying message, resulting in little more than sour eye candy.
Going one step further, Selfridges carries its theme of a snappy yet directed design to its website. Right up front—the 50 top spring dresses, curated by the store's buyers with the ability for a shopper to customize her choices by designer, color, size and price. Without knowing the particulars of Selfridges' digital commerce strategy, my hunch is returning shoppers are greeted with personalized recommendations based on previous purchases and personal shopping data. In addition, the British retailer wisely knows the value of personalized delivery options and promotes its "click and collect" program (more common in the UK than in the U.S.) on its landing page. Such a tactic will encourage customers to head to Oxford Street (or other location) and be tempted to find more things to add to their carts.
Digital marketing pundits are quick to point out how bricks and mortar retailers need to adapt to a connected, social, always-on, always-social world of mobile consumers. Looking at the best practice of a world-renown retailer, such as Selfridges, and taking those lessons as an approach to improve the design and impact of a digital commerce campaign proves that older dogs can still teach digital pups a thing or two.

Chelsea distraught after losing to Corinthians in Club World Cup final
For the first time in six years the Club World Cup will reside outside of Europe. Chelsea depart Yokohama in shambles, Gary Cahill's petulance the lasting memory in a depressing trip across the globe. The Guardian's Dominic Fifield assessed the scene:
"Trophies are slipping through their fingers almost carelessly these days, though this still felt particularly crushing. Ramires, exhausted and distraught as he slumped to the turf, had to be consoled by team-mates and coaching staff. David Luiz, in floods of tears, sat alone and hardly able to watch his compatriots mass together before lifting the trophy."
Contrary to popular opinion, this tournament did matter. The jubilation felt by the Time do Povo faithful at Yokohama Stadium could be felt — the drums helped, being awake at seven in the morning EST didn't. Cassio was terrific in goal. Rafa Benitez now adopts the role of soothsayer. "This has ended up feeling like a damaging experience."
Yes, Arsenal are struggling but sensible people should be defending Wenger now
Gary Neville drops some wisdom over at the Daily Mail. Earlier this week Arsenal legend/former manager George Graham stated Arsenal would never win the league again. G-Nev responded:
"Sensible football people should be defending Arsene Wenger and fighting for him to build another great Arsenal team. And we certainly shouldn't be sat here saying: 'Arsenal will never win another title.' To me, that seems absurdly reactive."
I've been guilty of whinging about the supposed plight Arsenal faces in the new age of money dominated football. I will not apologize, however, for stating the truth. If the Gunners want to win they must spend. Arsene Wenger's tactical prowess, his acquisitions on the transfer market — these decisions should be questioned. Hyperbolic claims like the ones made by Graham aren't helpful. As Neville rightly states, did anyone think Manchester City or Chelsea would be lifting trophies 15 years ago?
Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini apologises for head-butt on Stoke City defender Ryan Shawcross
Hopefully the way Everton has reacted to this incident is remembered. There was no hedging, no maybes. David Moyes said his club would accept any punishment from the FA. "I have told him [Fellaini] in the dressing room that it is not acceptable – I won't accept it as a manager that he does that." Ryan Shawcross is no saint — there were many who applauded MF's headbutt. But let's be serious. That deserves a suspension. The Toffees handled this well.
Van Persie shows his true colours with rendition of Glory Glory Man United at Christmas party… but Kagawa steals show with Gangnam performance
Manchester United's Christmas party was a blast. RVP sang, Shinji Kagawa's performance of Gangnam Style was wonderful. None of what I just wrote was true. Not only did Kagawa destroy what was already a terrible song, there was also the horrible undertone of racial stereotypes that couldn't be overlooked. RVP sang Glory Glory Man United. I feel ill.
The match of the day features the two hottest names in football — Messi and Falcao. Graham Hunter's excellent piece for ESPN FC details Atletico's troubles at Camp Nou after the departure of Fernando Torres. Though he lives for the big moments, Falcao has struggled to make an impact against the big boys in Spain. We'll cover the game later today. Predictions anyone?
