144 Disengage with Pakistan completely! (Tarek Fatah) (2015) 1 LAW
International terrorism, yet the beneficiary of
billions of dollars of American largesse.
In addition, before and during the Second
World War, the motivating ideology behind Germans
seeking world domination was the Nazi doctrine of
Aryan supremacy, and all of us had absolutely no
problem saying so. In a similar manner the
motivating ideology behind the Warsaw Pact during the
Third World War aka the Cold War, was Communism
that sought the ‘Dictatorship of the Proletariat’ and no
one, not even Dange or Namboodripad (Indian
communist leaders) had any hesitation saying so.
This begs the question. What is the ideology of
the jihadi terrorists seeking world domination to hasten
the End of Times? It is Islamofascism, the 20 th century
doctrine of Islamism, which is the use of Islam as a
political tool to establish Islamic supremacy on the rest
of the globe. However, it seems we are too scared to
dare mention the word ISLAMISM. Our American
friends call it “Violent Extremism”. What is this
“Violent Extremism”? Why beat around the bush
and call it for what it is, i.e. Islamic Extremism?
Let me show you a graphic clip that best
illustrates our Islamic Extremism. … It is from
Afghanistan and the tragic event happened just
yesterday. [TF plays a VIDEO showing a mob of Muslims
beating to death a 27-year old mentally challenged Muslim
woman on charges that she burnt pages of the Quran. After
beating her senseless, the crowd then set her on fire and
watched her burn to death]. What have we Muslims become
that we would beat and then burn alive a young woman?
Even if she had deliberately set the Quran on fire (which she
didn’t), did she have to be killed this way to serve Allah?
What is to be done? I’ll make one general policy
proposal and four specific recommendations:
Definition of Terrorism under Resolution 1373
On 28 September 2001 in the wake of the 9/11-
jihadi terrorist attacks on the United States, the UN
Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution
1373. The resolution was a counter-terrorism measure
adopted under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter,
and is therefore binding on all UN member states. It
marked a shift in international law. Until then,
international law was presumed to be valid only if
the concerned state had voluntarily signed the
international treaty; whereas after 1373, the Security
Council imposed the resolution on all member states.
Following 1373, India made a call for a global
convention on defining terrorism and finding
commonly accepted means to combat it. Guess who
obstructed the Indian initiative? Our good friends of
the Islamic State, not in Rakka, but in Islamabad.
Pakistan, the epitome of state terrorism scuttled the effort
by raising issues about "causative factors," arguing
that those who are "freedom fighters" cannot be
labeled as terrorists.
It is unfortunate that the powers that matter in
today’s world should only look at the tactics and
methods used by terrorists to define terrorism. To
this day UN resolution 1373 exists only on paper. It is not
too late. Let there be a comprehensive convention
against terrorism under the United Nations, which
has been pending since 2001, when India first
proposed it. I say let us define Terrorism and then fight
the state that feeds it.
Four Recommendations
But until then I have four recommendations
for the Indian government:
1. Disengage with Pakistan completely. No talks, no
visits, no trade.
2. Since Pakistan itches for parity with India, please
shut down the silly March of the Roosters at the
Wagah border cross point – the single most
spectacular circus that puts the rogue state of
Pakistan at par with democratic, secular and
dignified Republic of India.
3. End the ridiculous “Aman ki Aasha” that has been
a one-way traffic of ISI aunties come to India and
run circles around Indians, and even cause the fall
of one of India’s brightest sons. ……
4. Finally, please don't wait for a second Mumbai to
create a Balochistan.
Please start assisting the brave men and women of
Balochistan today. Help the young men of Dr.
Allah Nazar in the hills and Baloch exiles like
Mehran Marri and Brahamdagh Bugti. Plan and
work towards the policy goal, unwritten and unsaid, for
the disintegration of the so-called rump state that refers
to itself the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
I use the label 'so-called state', not only because there
is nothing ‘Paak’ about Pakistan, but because of the fact
Pakistan in 1971 changed its name to Bangladesh and
what we call Pakistan today is merely Pakistan’s
leftovers. – Thank you for inviting me as a speaker
to this conference.
- Jai Hind!
