Bush/Mush to Fight Islam ("Terrorism") Together
Indian Threat is a Convenient but Dangerous Ploy
U.S. will Help Musharref Alter Islamic Medressa System
{NEWS from AFGHANISTAN: (1)The U.S. air force lost an MC-130 P
refueling
plane on February 13. The U.S. as usual claims that the crash was not
owing
to hostile fire. A number of soldiers were injured. The U.S. destroyed
the
plane after the crash. Observers suspect that the plane was shot down
by
Al-Qaeda, the fifth to go down this year. If there were no gunfire
marks on
the plane, the U.S. could easily show photos of the plane after it was
downed.
(2) A U.S. soldier was killed in Bagram, near Kabul, said to have been
crushed by heavy machinery WHICH FELL ON HIM. He must have been taken
by
surprise. Again it seems the action of civil resistance.
(3) U.S. media say there was a THIRTY MINUTE gunfight at Kandahar's
U.S.
military stronghold. U.S. losses have not been revealed. How an attack
could
occur on such a fully secured base is difficult to believe unless one
also
accepts that some Taliban are carrying out guerrilla warfare.}
Britain has RELEASED on bail LOTFI RAISSI, an Algerian pilot who was
held in
prison for five months for alleged connection with the 9/11 hijackers.
The
U.S. has no evidence against him. Algerians are the targets of USA
because of
U.S. support for the murderous Algerian regime which has killed
thousands of
Muslim men, women and children.

BUSH AND MUSH LIKE TWO PEAS IN A POD:
On February 13,Pakistani President Musharref spoke at the Woodrow
Wilson Center and then together with President Bush, took part in a
press
conference. The following impressions stand out:
1. Musharref has no pretensions to being a Muslim, Islamic or Pakistani
nationalist leader. His dress on both occasions was a clear giveway.
Looks
like he shopped at Macy's before making his speeches all decked out in
coat
and tie. There were no clear references to any Islamic or Pakistani
aspirations in his talks.
2. Kashmir will not be liberated. Musharref is interested in keeping
Kashmir
as an issue to be talked about with India.
3. The target of Bush and Musharref is Islam. India's buildup on the
border
is meant to divert the Pakistani masses from the government's attack
on
Islamic groups.
{Compare with the events during anti-Musharref demonstrations when
suddenly a
Christian church was attacked and there were incidents instigated on
the
Kashmir border.}
4. It's a dangerous game. India might see Pakistan's internal diversion
as a
opportunity to end Pakistan as a viable state and turn it into a
Bantustan.
5. Some of the things Musharref said revealed his propaganda tactics
against
the Pakistani people. After the kidnapping of WSJ reporter Pearl and
the
demands calling for release of Afghan ambassador Zaeef and the
detainees in
Cuba, plus the call related to F-16s for which Pakistan paid the U.S.,
Musharref suddenly announced that Pearl's kidnappers were on the phone
with
India.
5a. Now with Bush, Musharref came out and said that the kidnapping was
"fallout" from his crackdown on "religious extremists." Thus the "phone
calls
to India" story was a fake.
6. BUSH HAS been given THE RIGHT TO RE-DESIGN PAKISTAN'S EDUCATION
SYSTEM.
President Bush EXPRESSED HIS CONCERN ABOUT MEDRESSAS (Islamic schools).
(See
also our earlier our report on the CIA Director's attack on Medressas.)
The
U.S. will provide money for what was euphemistically defined as
"education
reform." {In effect an attempt to take authentic Islam out of the
medressas
and make them subservient to the government. Students will be taught
"English!")
7. Musharref came out again with his "jihade akbar" story that Jihad
really
means the struggle against illiteracy, hunger, etc. {In Islam, jihad is
armed
struggle against oppression as in Palestine, Kashmir, Chechnya, Iraq,
Somalia
and Sudan. Muslims won't be fooled into thinking that because the
Palestinians do not have 100% literacy, they should give up jihad
against
Israel, or that Kashmiris should stop fighting and instead integrate
themselves into the Indian education system .... Slaves have no rights.
Hence
without jihad, there can be no real education. Look at the education
the rich
Pakistanis got. They are busy serving America instead of their own
people.}
{The narration about Jihade Akbar is a fabrication meant to divert
the
Muslims from the struggle against slavery.}
8. President Bush dodged a question from a Pakistani reporter about the
Pakistanis detained in America after 9/11. The reporter wanted to know
why
they could not be given permission to stay in America in return for the
help
Pakistan has provided in the war against "terrorism." Bush said "we
will
defend Americans" and there are attorneys available for those arrested,
and
he looked real disturbed by the question. Thus there is little hope for
the
arrested Pakistanis who have not wronged America except that they are
Muslims.
