THE PAKISTANI HIGH COMMAND -
THE LAST CHANCE

My dear brothers in Islam, and I address also that small group in the military who have been seduced and misled into atheism and easy promotion, for even that small dissident rump I know still has a profound loyalty to the nation of Pakistan.
All that is happening now I told you would happen. I warned you. Now you must face up to this. It was a diagnosis and you rejected the medicine, and now the patient is in a critical condition. I told you the dictator Musharraf was a kemalist, and the role of the kemalist was never to turn the guns on the enemy, but to turn them on his own people if they defy the dictatorship. It has happened. There are two civilised and learned bodies within the State of Pakistan. This fundamentally stupid and brutal man has now actively made war on both these groups.
It is clear that Pakistani society can no longer function now that it has lost the judiciary and the ‘ulema. Unless we are to see this great Muslim nation plunge into that most hateful of conditions, a civil war, military intervention is absolutely necessary. Make no mistake. I do not mean further war between the army and the people. This crime has already been committed, and the damage – the lack of trust between army and people – can only be recovered by one thing. You know what that one thing is. That one thing is the removal of an unacceptable dictator at war with his own people and their religion.
The quite disgraceful signals of approval from the Washington regime are surely the final confirmation of what an evil action was perpetrated at the mosque. Moral approval from the man who ordered Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo is a terrible insult, and furthermore, the American people should beware. A regime that accepts that a country abroad can make war on its own people sooner or later will activate it inside its own frontiers.
The removal of the criminal dictator, after such a disastrous error, means it is advised not just to replace him with a uniquely military junta. Confidence in the people has to be restored. I recommend the following model as a means to restoring not only order but civil confidence. The officers removing the criminal author of the coup should immediately call upon the highest civilian talents as an Advisory Group who can steer the country back to legal government.
For example:
1. The deposed Chief Justice I. M. Chaudhry.
2. Maulana Sami’ul Haqq.
3. Imran Khan.
4. The deposed Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif.
5. Retired General Hamid Gul.
These, or a similarly constituted small group, should reconstruct the social order so that Pakistan ceases to be a plaything of exterior imperialist forces, or a war zone for the suicidal extremist Arab movement outrageously killing under the banner of Islam.
The survival of Pakistan is in your hands. Your health and well-being is also in your hands, for there is no doubt that if Pakistan goes down, you will go down with it, and if you do not die in its anarchy you will survive in your ignominy. Rise before Fajr. Make two Raka’ats. An Istikhara. Then if you dare, do nothing!
PAKISTANIS PROTEST RED MOSQUE RAID

ISLAMABAD — Thousands of Pakistanis took to the streets Friday, July 13, nationwide to protest the bloody army raid on Pakistan's Red Mosque, calling for the "destruction" of President Pervez Musharraf.
"General Musharraf is responsible for the loss of hundreds of innocent lives, which could have been saved," Syed Munawwar Hasan, a central leader of six-party religious alliance Muttehida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), said while addressing hundreds of emotionally charged protestors in Karachi.
"Down with the USA," "Down with Musharraf", and "Go Musharraf Go," are a few of the slogans chanted by the angry protestors in Karachi.
Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, Quetta and Multan saw the biggest rallies.
In the northwestern town of Mansehra, some 1,200 madrassah students and activists also held protests.
Friday's mass rallies were called for by the MMA and Wifaq-ul-Madaris Al-Arabia, which governs some 10,000 madrassahs nationwide.
The two bodies also called for a three-day mourning against the Red Mosque operation.
A total-wheel jam strike was observed in the northern town of Gilgit, where infuriated protestors blocked Korakaram Highway, which links Pakistan with China for several hours.
Rock-throwing youths burnt tyres and effigies of Musharraf and US President George W. Bush, forcing security forces to fire in the air and hurl teargas canisters to disperse the angry crowd.
Army troops, who had left the volatile northern Waziristan area following a peace agreement with local tribesmen and Taliban last year, have cordoned off the
area again.
The local Taliban commander Abdullah Farhad has issued a warning to the army troops to leave the area by Monday, July 15; otherwise, the peace treaty will be null and void.
Over the past two days, angry Pakistanis also torched offices and vehicles of several foreign-based non governmental organizations (NGOs) in Mansehra, Batagram, Noshera, Mardan, and other Pushtun-dominated districts of north western frontier province.
The Red Cross and various other foreign NGOs have closed down their headquarters in restive towns and cities and moved their staff to the capital Islamabad for safety reasons.
Judicial Probe
Hasan called for a judicial inquiry led by a Supreme Court judge into the bloody raid.
"We don’t trust this government. This is the government of liars. Hundreds of students are still missing. We fear they all have been killed by security forces," he charged.
"The blood of innocents would cost heavily for the rulers," he vowed.
The government has said that 102 people were killed in the raid. However, independent sources put the figure at some 300 people, including children and women, who have reportedly been buried in the absence of their family members in different graveyards of Islamabad in the dark.
Some 73 bodies, most of them charred beyond recognition, were buried in a mass grave in Islamabad.
A majority of students killed in the operation, codenamed "Operation Silence," were Pushtuns, the majority population of NWFP and Afghanistan.
"Where are hundreds of women and children who according to the government, had been taken hostage and used as shield by militants inside Red Mosque?" Mumtaz Ahmad Tarar, a human rights activist, told IslamOnline.net.
"It seems as if causalities are in hundreds, and the government is hiding the facts," he alleged.
Family members of the deceased have been running from pillar to post in a desperate bid to recognize their loved ones killed inside the mosque.
"Neither their names are in the list of detainees or deceased or injured? Where have they gone?" wondered Tarar.
"Today, the government has used a wrong way to kill the militants. Tomorrow, this wrong way could be used to kill the common people," he added.
