[Is Russia trying to gain worldwide Muslim Support? Russia
considers it western powers' war against religious

Russia's lower house of parliament has approved unanimously
a bill that effectively outlaws any expression of LGBTQ life.
The new law widens a ban on "LGBT propaganda" and restricts
the "demonstration" of LGBTQ behaviour, making any action or
information that is deemed to promote homosexuality -
whether in public, online or in films, books or advertising
- subject to a hefty fine.

The legislation still needs the approval of the upper house
of parliament and President Vladimir Putin, but those steps
are seen as a formality.
"Any propaganda of non-traditional relationships will have
consequences," the speaker of the lower house, or State
Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, said on social media.
The bill "will protect our children and the future of our
country from the darkness spread by the US and European
states", he added.
Activists say the new legislation ramps up the crackdown on
"non-traditional" sexual relationships in Russia, with legal
experts warning its vague language leaves room for law
enforcement officers to interpret it as broadly as they
wish, increasing the risk and uncertainty for the country's
LGBTQ community.
Authorities have already used the existing law to stop gay
pride marches and detain gay rights activists. Rights groups
say the new law is intended to drive those leading
"non-traditional" lives, including lesbians, gay men,
bisexuals and transgender people, out of public life
altogether.
"LGBT today is an element of hybrid warfare and in this
hybrid warfare we must protect our values, our society and
our children," Alexander Khinshtein, one of the bill's
architects, said last month.

Attempts to Crush Protests by Christians
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The police have charged several church
leaders in connection with the clashes on Saturday between
the Latin Catholic church-led Vizhinjam agitation committee,
who are against the construction of Vizhinjam port by Adani
group, and the People Collective of Mulloor, who are in
favour of the port project.
While Archbishop of the Latin Catholic Diocese, Thomas J
Netto has been named as the first accused, Auxiliary bishop
Christudas and Vicar General Eugene Pereria have also been
named in the FIR related to the violence. The Vizhinjam
police have registered 10 cases in total on the violence
that had rocked Vizhinjam on Saturday. Of these nine cases
were related to the street violence between the two groups,
while the other case was related to flouting of the High
Court ruling and creating trouble in the high-security
area.
The archbishop and the auxiliary bishop were named accused
in three cases. They have been charged for conspiracy,
inciting people for violence and rioting. As many as 50
priests of the Latin church have also been named as accused.
The police also have identified about 30 vehicles that
ferried protestors to the spot. The Vicar General, who was
present at the protest site, was charged for attempt to
murder.
The church understandably was miffed with the police action
and said instead of registering cases against the ones who
had conspired to create violence, the police were targetting
the Latin Catholic clergy to weaken the protests.
The clash erupted on Saturday after Adani Group attempted to
resume construction work by bringing construction materials,
including granite, to the port site in trucks. The group had
written to the state government on resuming the construction
work on Saturday.
The vehicles were brought to the site after the Vizhinjam
agitation committee promised the High Court on Tuesday that
they would not stop them. The court had also recorded the
promise of the agitation committee.
However, a large group of people assembled at the port site
and blocked 27 trucks from 10am. A few protesters also lay
down in front of the trucks. Soon, Mulloor residents reached
the site and they had a heated argument with the protesters.
It later snowballed into a scuffle, with the agitators
pelting stones at local residents even after the police and
a few priests tried to calm them down. The protesters also
chased away local people and pelted stones at a truck, and
its windowpane got damaged.
14 Year old Raped and Killed.
By PTI [December 5]

accused, Sachin, who is on the run.Deputy Superintendent of
Police Alok Singh said prima facie it appears that the girl
was killed after rape.
An FIR has been lodged and police are investigating the
matter.
Why Pakistan's Army cannot Liberate Kashmir, free Uighur
Muslims? why it Surrendered and tries to Crush Mujahideen
suporting Sharia?
The Pakistan Army is the remnant of the British colonial
army built only to protect the British imperial interest in
the Indian sub-continent and the Middle East. India could
successfully indianise these British-made mercenaries, but
Pakistan failed badly to pakistanise them. Pakistan Army's
cantonments still work as the bastions of secularism -the
most powerful antidote to Islamisation. People used to be
demoted or expelled from the Pakistan Army even for keeping
beards -the known marker of the best Muslim generals of
Islam's golden days. Pakistan cantonments are the protected
islands of western culture. The culture of common rural
Pakistanis is alien to them. Supplying wine to the officers
on public money was stopped only by General Ziaul Haque in
the late seventies. Even now, the Army is ever-ready to
protect the criminal autocrats of the Middle East. They are
their ideological and cultural cousins. They even feel
trigger-happy to bomb madrasas and mosques -as seen in
General Musharraf's era.
The Pakistan Army is one of the most costly Army in the
world. Giving a good salary, good accommodation and other
costly incentives are not the only burden on the public. An
Indian general retired only with an apartment in his
possession. But a retiring Pakistani general must be made a
billionaire by public money at the end of his service. Even
an Army major deserves a good size residential plot in the
most lucrative area of the federal or the provincial capital
of Pakistan. This is why India can easily deploy 7 hundred
thousand soldiers in Kashmir -a land of only 10 million.
Whereas Pakistan Army found it very costly and impossible to
deploy even 35 thousand soldiers in East Pakistan in 1971 -
a land of 75 million against 250 thousand Indian soldiers.
The incompatibles
Pakistan Army's best known old icons like General Ayub Khan,
General Yahiya Khan, General A. A. Niazi and General Tikka
Khan didn't join the Army to serve Islam and Muslim. They
joined the British Army only as mercenaries. They didn't
have any love for Islam and Muslim. They have love only for
their own career. As a result, they failed to show any love
for Pakistan and its pan-Islamic backbone. Many of these
Generals like Yahiya showed tremendous love for wine and
women.
The diehard secularists of the Pakistan Army -as trained and
mentored by the British are known for their in-built
incompatibility with the ideology of pan-Islamism - the
reason for creation and sustenance of Pakistan. In later
days, they proved to be the worst enemies within. They
failed badly to defend Pakistan's border and integrity. They
could excel only in occupying their own countries again and
again. They could also excel in building costly residential
estates for their professional mates in Islamabad, Lahore,
Karachi, Peshawar and other big cities.
General Ayub Khan -the original architect of Pakistan's
dismemberment proved to be a rabid racist and Bengali-hater.
He had severe Bengali-phobia. He thought that if democracy
sustains, the Bengali Muslims will have a dominant role in
Pakistan's politics. To put a bar against that, he killed
democracy. And, when he made his own constitution in 1961,
he abolished participatory parliamentary form of government.
He ruled as an autocratic President of Pakistan for 11
years. His one-man rule successfully killed the sense of
ownership of Pakistan in the mind of the Bengali Muslims
-the majority Pakistanis.
President Ayub Khan built the most costly capital city on
the earth in Islamabad from scratch -while most Pakistanis
were not even able to bear the cost of making a liveable
house in a village. It was a monumental crime against the
poor majority in one of the poorest countries of the world.
It generated a strong sense of exploitation in the mind of
the East Pakistanis. It is worth mentioning that in those
early days, Pakistan used to earn its major share of foreign
currency from jute export. This is why jute got the name
"golden fibre". A costly capital was built at the expense of
the country's integrity. It added nothing to Pakistan's
fame, defence or economy. It could only expedite its debacle
in 1971. It appeased only its bureaucratic elites.
It was the criminal failure of the Pakistani intellectuals,
politicians and academics that they couldn't understand the
lethal impact of such crime against Pakistan's own
existence. Instead, many of them find it a source of pride
and euphoria. A state can only become a failed state when
such fatal policies get executed. It was a grotesque
betrayal with the objective of Pakistan's creation. Such a
betrayal can only bring Divine punishment. Pakistan is
already in the midst of that and finding no way-out.
Worldwide begging has been its rulers' permanent
preoccupation.
The road to dismemberment
Out of his Bengali phobia, Ayub Khan even thought of
dismembering Pakistan. Justice Muneer -Ayub Khan's law
minister and ex-Supreme Court chief justice writes in his
book "Jinnah to Zia" about his such intention. Justice
Muneer reveals that Ayub Khan asked him to ask Bengali
politicians to demand separation from West Pakistan. Justice
Muneer discussed that subject with one of the East Pakistani
politicians. In response, he was told, "We -the Bengalis
are the majority in Pakistan, why should we separate? You
are the minority, you like separation from us, you can do
that".
Fatima Jinnah made a sincere attempt to save democracy and
the integrity of Pakistan. Ayub Khan labelled her as an
Indian agent and spread filth about her. He engineered an
electoral victory in 1964. It is also strongly believed by
many East Pakistanis that Shaikh Mujibur Rahman's 6 point
secessionist formula was framed by Ayub's favourite
bureaucrat Altaf Ghauher and handed over to Mujib by one of
Mr. Ghauher's Bengali colleagues.
Whereas, the real builders of Pakistan were the Bengali
Muslims. It started from giving birth to Muslim League in
1906. Bengal -the most dominant province of Indian politics,
culture and education was the bastion of Muslim League
politics. Bengal had three Prime Ministers of undivided
Bengal from 1937 to 1947-as per the British Parliament's
India Rule Act of 1935. All three Prime Ministers were from
the Muslim League. Since the Bengali Hindus were
educationally, politically and economically much advanced,
such a political victory of Bengali Muslims made a huge
boost on Muslim League's Pakistan movement. Even the final
and the decisive battle of Pakistan movement called " Larke
lenge Pakistan" was fought in Kolkata on 16 August in 1946.
More than 5 thousand Bengali Muslims gave their lives in
that Congress and Hindutva-led massacre.
Muslim League couldn't make such an impact in other Muslim
majority provinces. The majority of the Punjabi and Pathan
Muslims didn't support the idea of Pakistan. Even in the
last days of British rule, the Punjab province was under the
rule Sikander Hyat Khan led-Unionist Party - the combined
political front of the Sikh, Hindu and Muslims -strongly
against the creation of Pakistan. The Frontier Province (now
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) was ruled by the Indian Congress led by
Abdul Ghaffar Khan -the so-called frontier Gandhi. The real
existential threat started to build up with the occupation
of Pakistan by its power grabbing notorious Army. The
Army-occupied state badly failed to deliver justice to its
majority people. As a result, it met a disgraceful fate in
1971 by the hand of India.
The highest ibadah became the devilish tool
Defending a Muslim state is the highest ibadah in Islam. In
the golden days of Islam, serving in the Army was never an
elitist profession. It was indeed the humblest way of
engaging in a holy jihad. In those days, people used to join
the war with their own money, own weapons and their own
horse. In those days, they could face the biggest superpower
in the world by giving huge sacrifices. Serving in the
Muslim Army used to be considered the best way of paying the
price of paradise. Allah SWT asks for such investments in
money and blood repeatedly in the Holy Qur'an. But in
Pakistan it is a different practice and culture. The people
join the army to access incredible pomp, power, pleasures
and wealth that are not easily available in other
professions.
Joining the Army gives entitlement to exercise huge
political, economic and administrative power. The Army can
even influence the judiciary and government policy. Since
the creation of Pakistan, the country was ruled most of the
time by the Army -directly or by the proxies. So the Army
created a new class of ruling elites and made a huge number
of new feudals/ zamindars. Such a medieval practice of land
endowment was started by General Ayub Khan to create a
constituency of pet cronies and collaborators. They were his
foot soldiers in his political and military rule. General
Ayub Khan fought his war against Pakistani people, democracy
and Islam with the help of these mercenary foot
soldiers.
Such unethical practices do not exist in any civilised
country. It is unknown even in neighbouring countries like
India and Iran. Still, the Indian and Iranian soldiers are
not less motivated and committed in war than those of the
Pakistan Army. As long as such a system survives in the
Army, Pakistan does not need any foreign enemies to destroy
its integrity and existence. The Pakistan Army can do it
alone.
In 1971, the Pakistan Army made unprecedented history by
surrendering to idolaters in bulk. In fact, in the 14
hundred years of Muslim history, such an act of surrender to
the infidels has been the work of only Pakistan Army. They
blame politicians for the failure in 1971. Whereas,
Pakistan's politics has been run by the Army since 1958.
In fact, the most honest rulers of Pakistan like Muhammad
Ali Jinnah, Liaqat Ali Khan, Khawaja Nazeemuddin, Mohammad
Ali Bogra, Chowdhury Muhammad Ali and Hussain Shaheed
Suhrawardy were the product of civilian politics. None can
blame them as corrupt. They used politics as the tool of
serving people. Unlike the Army Generals, they were the
fighters against British rule. In those 11 years of civilian
rule, Pakistan didn't have any war on the border, neither
had any threat to her integrity. In those days of democratic
politics, the people of East Pakistan had a strong sense of
ownership of Pakistan. In the 1965 war, they strongly stood
against India.
Evil breeds evils. Now Pakistan suffers from a political
crisis. This is mostly the work of the Pakistan Army.
Political garbage like the dynasties of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto
and Nawaz Sharif are the products of the military regimes.
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif didn't come to politics
on their own merit. Bhutto was the protégés of General Ayub
and Nawaz Sharif was brought into politics by General Zia.
They used politics as a tool to corrupt people and the whole
statecraft.
Financing the luxuries of the elites and the debt-burden on
the poor
Pakistan is indebted to foreign countries only to finance
the luxuries of the military and civil elites. The common
people pay the huge debt. These are highly immoral and
criminal practices that are incompatible with the teachings
of Islam. Afghanistan is poor but a debt free country. Their
leaders are not on tours for begging all over the world like
the Pakistani leaders. Because, the Afghan government
doesn't need to finance the luxuries of the white elephants
in the Army, judiciary and the civil administration. In
Afghanistan, a Supreme Court judge attends his court
peddling a bi-cycle. But the Pakistani judge needs huge
protocols whenever he is on his way to the court.
If the Pakistan government has enough money, that money
should be spent to build houses for the homeless people
and never to build residential estates for the retired army
officers. If the common people like teachers, doctors,
lawyers, nurses, builders, businessmen, peasants, factory
workers and government employees can build their own houses,
why can't the Army officers build their own houses? Every
person is serving the state. Therefore, why should the Army
get any exceptional privileges from the taxpayers' money? Is
it for their guns that they carry? Should the gun decide the
state policy?
If the common people can go to the offices by their own
means, why do Army people need cars and jeeps? The
possession of arms and ammunition doesn't make any one
superior to others. Neither does it give any ruling rights
to the people. It needs ethics and morality to be superior
to others. But such moral basics are ignored in the Pakistan
Army. They still believe that politics and policies only
come out of guns. It is a pity that since 1958, the people
in the Pakistan Army have been practising such an awful
belief. It has already damaged Pakistan's moral, political
and economic health.

Editorial
In an Islamic Regime, a woman should be able to travel alone.
by Br. Kaukab Siddique, PhD
Egyptian scholar Muhammad Abu Zahra wrote a comprehensive
book about Imam Shafai. It has been translated into the Urdu
language and i have learned some important aspects of
Islamic way of life from it.
Imam Shafai was born in Yemen. The local community was going
through some difficult times and Imam Shafai's father died
when he was very young, hardly two years old.
Shafai was born in the year 150 hijri.
His mother, Fatima, who was from the Azd tribe, took him to
Makka, from there to Gaza (Palestine), then Asqalan and then
back to Makka when he was 10.
She travelled so much and all alone. No one is reported to
have gone with her.
Her travels are of great interest to me.
She was never bothered by anyone in her travels. The Muslim
countries were secure and so peaceful that a woman could
travel alone without being bothered by anyone or being in
any danger.
She was looking for a situation in which her young son could
do his Islamic studying and finally she found it.
He memorized the entire Qur'an and then went on to memorize
numerous hadith.
Owing to Fatima's solid support and numerous travels through
the desert and then to Gaza where Yemeni tribes had settled,
Imam Shafai had an academic and spiritual foundation. He
became one of the greatest scholars of Islam and an entire
Islamic School of Thought is named after him.

Reuters reports:
No sooner had the Qatar World Cup game between Belgium and
Morocco finished than disturbances in downtown Brussels and
in the Dutch cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam began. Less
than an hour had passed since Morocco triumphed 2-0 in the
Al Thumama Stadium in Doha - a result that left Belgium
in third place in Group F and the Atlas Lions second - when
groups of young men waving Morocco flags overturned at least
one car, damaged others, set fires in the street and burned
rental scooters. When the Belgian police responded at the
scene, they did so with water cannon and charges by riot
officers. Two hours later, authorities in Brussels said
there had been a dozen arrests, according to local police
reports.
In Rotterdam, a group of around 500 young Morocco fans threw
bottles and fireworks at police, reports Isabel Ferrer.
In Amsterdam, several buses and trams were forced to alter
their routes in the east of the city after fires were lit in
the road.
Fireworks were also thrown and at least one car was set
ablaze. In The Hague, other Morocco fans opened the doors of
cars driving in the streets. When the situation started to
escalate, the police intervened to separate the people,
according to spokespeople.
In the Netherlands there is a Moroccan community numbering
around 420,000, of which 60% were born in the country.

Blatant Crime
3 Dec 2022
The killing of a Palestinian man by an Israeli soldier in
broad daylight in the occupied West Bank has sparked
widespread anger among Palestinians, amid calls on social
media to escalate resistance acts against the Israeli
occupation.
The last moments of Ammar Mufleh, 23, were captured on video
on Friday by an unknown Palestinian. Footage showed Mufleh
being held in a headlock by an Israeli soldier, as two other
men try to wrestle him away. Mufleh then appears to strike
the soldier and attempt to take hold of his rifle before the
soldier pulls out a handgun and shoots him several times as
he falls to the ground.

In the immediate aftermath, Israeli forces took away
Mufleh's body, denying him a funeral - a well-versed

shot dead by Israeli forces. Confrontations broke out in the
town and several Palestinians were subsequently injured,
local media reported.
The incident took place in the occupied West Bank town of
Huwara, south of Nablus, which went on a commercial strike
the following day in protest at Mufleh's killing.
