    Most of the analysts appearing in TV programmes conclude the reasons for

    extremism among Muslims as the following, if I am not wrong.

    1. Non-Muslims (Israel, India, America, Russia, Serbs) occupation to the

    land of Muslims i,e Palestine, Kashmir, Iraq, Chechnya, Bosnia.2. Muslims are being humiliated through out the world3. Atrocities are being committed on Muslims4. Muslims are being oppressed

    5. Economic ad natural resources of Muslims have been captured by thenon-Muslims

    6. The culture of non-Muslims is being imposed on Muslims7. Muslims can not freely observe their rituals, religious duties or such

    things (for instance issue of scarf in France etc)8. They are being hurt ideologically. Their book is being desecrated

    9. The Muslims are discriminated in above and other western countries

    General Hameed Gul on August 1, 2005 said in a tv programme that in such

    conditions can any body expect anybody will welcome them with flowers intheir hand

    General Aslam Beg on August 3, 2005 also gave similar comments stating

    the Muslim insurgency natural outcome of the situation as stated above.

    Pakistani media has also been projecting the similar ideas that Muslims are

    being oppressed so what is happening in London, New York and Iraq,

    Kashmir, Chechnya etc is natural reaction. General Musharraf also expressessimilar ideas and always link Muslim insurgency and war on terrorism withthe problems of Muslims in Kashmir, Palestine, Iraq and other places.

    All the above respectful Army Generals and other Muslim leaders of Pakistanhaving the similar concepts try to convince (their patron or master) the

    America in favour of their ideas, so that America withdraws support toIsrael, India and other countries and stop themselves oppressing Muslims.

    But the America does not understand so do the other countries. Probably

    because of having enormous power, they do not realize the situation.

    A thing I clear here that oppression against any community andhuman being should stop irrespective of their belonging to any race

    or religion. In that respect oppression in Palestine, Kashmir and allother parts must stop immediately.

    May I recall you what Muslims, the pious, the choice people of Allah, therighteous, the humanist, the justice lovers, and all supreme qualities a man

    can have, have done in the past when they were in power in Baghdad,Kabul, Delhi etc. I do not quote incidents from others history, but from the

    very history of an important part of our country Pakistan, the Sindh. Fromthe ancient history upto the British capturing the land, Sindh has been an

    independent country as were Iran and India in the region.

    Bin Qasim attacked Sindh and captured the land of Sindhi. Their occupationremained for nearly 200 years.

    Khilji, the ruler of Delhi, attacked Sindh and killed the ruler of Sindh DodoSoomro, captured their land established their rule.

    Turkhan, Argun, Abdali (all Muslims from Afghanistan) attacked Sindh,

    captured their land for several decades in different periods of History,plundered the wealth of the Sindhi.

    The most pious of the Mughal emperors, Aurangzeb, attacked Sindh, killedShah Inayat Shaheed and thousands of Sindhi Muslims, captured the land

    and installed his rule.

    Nadir Shah attacked Sindh,killed hundreds of Sindhi Muslims, plundered thewealth as done by the other rulers.

    So they were no non-Muslims but the very righteous, the pious and Mominswho killed Sindhi, looted their wealth and estroyed their country each time.

    Non of non-mUslims attacked from delhi or Iran or even from Afghanistan.The British were the only on-Muslims who captured the country of Sindhi, all

    others were Muslims (and as a matter of fact who are still occupying theland of Sindhi and Baluch).

    Motive of all attacks of Muslims rulers was single, loot and plunder of thewealth of Sindh. They destroy the crops, took the gold, silver and the

    cattles,

    The biggest hero of Muslims, Bin Qasm, even went further by sending

    hundreds of Sindhi girls to Baghdad to present to his masters over there.The best were gifted to the rulers and rest were sold in the Bazars of

    Baghdad. This was your Baghdad when in Power under Muslim rule. WhatMuslims have done in Spain, Iran, central Aisa, other parts of India is

    evident from the history which we are never told in text books.

    Was Muslims rulers different, as in case of Sindh, from todays America,Israel, India. You can decide better yourself.

    That was past. But what is happening in Pakistan today, is not muchdifferent from what you blame on America and his allies.

    Baluchistan was captured through Army campaign, after the Khan of Qalat

    refused to join Pakistan.

    Settlements of Indians (Muslims from minority provinces known as Muhajirstoday) were established in Sindhs cities. How do you differentiate thesesettlements from Israeli settlements. The Sindhi feels like aliens to their very

    own urban areas as felt by palestinians. There is entirely a different cultureover there, actually an Indian culture.. The Sindhi language, which was

    official language upto the partition of British-India and every office and courtwork was being done in Sindhi language, it was the medium of study in

    formal and religious schools, was replaced by URDU forcefully. The peoplewho raised voice were branded as traitors and put behind the bars. Why the

    Government of Ayub Khuhro (the only genuine Muslim league government of

    Sindh through out the history till today it may be recalled here that typicalbrand of Pakistan ideology of Muslim league has been most unpopular inSindh, none of the elections are ever won by the Muslim league in Sindh

    since its foundation in 1906 except in 1945-46 that too through patronage of

    British-rulers) is dismissed by none other but our greatest leader, whom wealways portray as the most democratic leader, the Quaid-e-Azam. Sindhi

    leaders, writers, poets, students, who raised voice for Sindh ans Sindhilanguage were put into jails since creation of Pakistan G.M Syed, Haider

    Bakhsh Jatoi, Shaikh Ayaz, Rasool Bux Palijo, Fazil Rahoo, Jam Saqi, AbdulWahid Areesar, name to any writer and leader who have not been put into

    jail. Hundreds of Sindhi were killed and thousands of Sindhi were put intojails by General Zia during MRD movement. What was ther sin, the demand

    for democratic rule.The most loved leader of Sindhi Z A Bhutto was hanged.Was he only sinner in the history of Pakistan, all others are angels andpious. Why only Bhutto family is being victimized. Are they only corrupt inPakistan, all others the choudries, the maliks, the mians, the Muhajirs, the

    generals, the Sindhi agents of Islamabad are honest.

    The water of Sindh is being (not stolen as some commentators say)

    snatched at the gun point.

    The Sindh is being cut into pieces against the will of Sindhi to strengthen theexisting settlements and establishment of additional settlements by bringing

    more Muhajirs from India and Bangladesh. Sindhi have been deprived to rulethe Sindh even. The genuine and popular leadership of Sindhi people is

    suppressed and dummy leaders like Arbabs, Mahars, Jams are installed fromIslamabad. How many Sindhi have been Ministers in NWFP and Punjab like

    Marwats, Chaoudries in Sindh. How many Sindhi and others have beenappointed as Chief Secretaries, Chief Justices, IGs in Punjab. All important

    portfolios of Sindh including the just mentioned have most of the time

    retained by either Punjabi or Muhajirs. I mentioned here that before thepartition the state of Sindh was being run by SIndhi, very successfully - at

    least the state of Sindh was much better than what is today under rule ofPunabi-Muhajir able officers and leaders, whic is a undeniable statistical fact.

    How all of sudden they became unable and inefficient after partition. Theland and estate left by the Hindu was allotted to Muhajirs. Punjabi-Muhajirs

    are given priority over Sindhi in all government jobs. What is the position ofSindhis in jobs in government departments. Sindhs education system have

    been deliberately destroyed.

    Economic and natural resources of Sindh, Baluchistan and NWFP are

    captured by Punjabi-Muhajirs in the name of federation.

    What is done in Badin by Rangers and other parts of Sindh. What the

    rangers is doing for the last thirty years in Sindh, if they could not controlthe law and order. What have done by Army in Sindh and Baluchistan. Haveyou ever experience the attitude of Army, Rangers and Punjabi-Muhajirs

    with Sindhi, Baluchi people. Is is not humiliating.

    Who is patronizing Jagirdars and Sardars in Sindh and Baluchistan. Why

    genuine middle class from Sindh is not being allowed. Every district andtehsil of Sindh and Baluchistan is being defacto ruled by Islamabad.

    In fact several books can be written on what is happening with Sindhi and

    Baluch in Pakistan.

    Punjabi-Muhajir will never understand as do the Americans, Indians, Israelis,

    Russians and all who are intoxicated by the vine of power.

    There is easy to raise finger towards others. But it is difficult to listen truth

    about oneself.

    Replace the word Sindhi or Baluch in place of Muslim in all such TVporgrammes, and then see what is the difference.

    What has happened is the history now. Still there is a time to realize and

    build a new system to the satisfaction of all the natives of Pakistan. Punjabi-

    Muhajirs has to realize the facts before it is too late. It is quite possible thatoppressed in Pakistan may be compelled to choose the same path as of

    Muslims against their oppressors. Sardar Mengal in an interview withARYONE categorically said that Baluch are being pushed to the wall and left

    with very few options now, so is the complaint of Sindhi leaders.

    The wise Generals should think of a Muslims of the whole world Palestine,Kashmir, Iraq but before that they should worry about their home. Theyshould raise the voice of the oppressed within their own homeland.
