| Haqqani has been agent like Musharraf. Looooooooooooooooooooooooooong time. More soon. He ran from NAB and was rewarded by the neocons.
He is part of a very dangerous game. In 1998, his masters pumped a lot of money for a new political party..........Urban Democratic Front. It was headed by Husain Haqqani. Then he ran from Pakistan.
It is like some people were given money in Afghanistan......even like Karzai........
He was never an Advisor to PPP/ BB
When Rehman Malik was able to distance Amin Fahim from BB......he was around her. Poor Haqqani. He is till a HudsonScholar. See: Haqqani at Hudson: Must read page 16......about math, which proves Haqqani is a phony. He says what the Israel Lobby loves. (Proof that he is a sold out soul).
Poor guy had to sell his soul to Join Hudson.
he has not resigned from Hudson. As a Govt servant where is his loyalty.

| Dear Sajjad Khan
Salam
Miserable situation is only due to injustice system also there is not any proper check & balance in system.
It is unfortunate that the spirit behind the formation of Pakistan are not practiced.
Let us all fullfill our services for that country which has base Islam.
No doubt Qadyanes are creation of anti Islamic elements & is big consperacy. But to blame all community & Indian back ground is not fair.
While debate one should be neutral.
Allah in pious Quran says:MUHAMMAD is not father of alive boy but last Prophet KHATIMUL NABEEN.....
It is enough lesson for Qadyanees who treat Gh Ahmad as Zule prophet.As Allah has written KHATI MUL NABEEN with this fact that MUHAMMAD peace be upon Him is not father of even alive boy........Which is enough for missguided Quadyanees.
In formation of Pakistan quadyanees support Quad Azam.Sir Zafar Allah Muslim Leage leader was also Quadyane.Even quadyane so called Khalefa Merza Basher ul Din was founder of Kashmir commetee.....
As for as Indian background Pakistanees are concerned their role for formation of Pakistan is vital.In first stage Muslim Leage was popular in central India.They were victim of atrosties via occupied forces as well as Hidu extremests.Most leaders of Muslim Leage were from this belt.While migration we should not ignore their sacrefices.
Those killers presently claim their representatives never represent the race of those migrants.
So my request is we should not blame whole community but those elements wheather Kashmire,Punjabe,Bloach,Pathan,Urdu speaking ....or any other black sheep who were & are part of problem for Pakistan .
Plz dont take otherwise
brotherly urs

SHC reserves judgment in Hussain Haqani case
Updated at: 1729 PST, Tuesday, May 20, 2008
KARACHI: Sindh High Court reserved judgment today on a petition seeking to dismiss the Rs 10 million House Building Finance Corporation (HBFC) corruption case against former chairman and Pakistan's ambassador-designate to the US Hussain Ahmed Haqqani.
Haqqani is facing trial before a special anti corruption judge for allegedly investing Rs 10 million belonging to HBFC in a bank, thus causing a loss to the company.
The court has previously dismissed his acquittal plea. In 2002, he filed a criminal revision against the dismissal, which was heard today.
The court will resume hearing tomorrow (Wednesday).
When did Hussain become Ahmed Haqqani? At Hudson Institute he is known as a "persecuted muslim monirity"?
Did he become Ahmed when he started the Urban Democratic Front in Karachi? The two people in Benazir and Musharraf deal were Haqqani and Malik (a known Qadiani).
See the news below. Now you will understand why Haqqani was in London sabotaging the "resolution" restoration of Judges which had been agreed.
Haqqni's Onion. Peel by peel (2).
Husain Haqqani:-Dangerous 5th Column or Selfish opportunist?
By Moin Ansari
Hussain Haqqani:-Dangerous Fifth Column or Selfish opportunist or Neocon mule or Naive imbecile?
Pakistan’s New Ambassador: Traitor or Naïve fool? Rupee News has tried to ascertain if Mr. Haqqani is naive, just an opportunitst, a pawn in the hands of the “doers and shakers”, or part of a diabolical conspiracy to place Manuchrian candidates in positions of power within the Pakistani government
Mr. Potato-Chips goes to Washington:-Neocon from Pakistan. The “wannabee goras” see no impact of the historical to Pakistani and other Muslims societies, and squarly lay the blame on internal factors which are depicted as “triba”, agressive, bent of world domination and have an intense hatred of the West. Mr. Haqqani seems to adhere to the cliche “They hate us because of our freedoms.”
A rebuttal to Mr. Haqqani: US policy and Pakistan’s drift. Over the years, Mr. Haqqani has written a lot against Pakistan. This is a rebuttal. This rebuttal was also submitted to Mr. Haqqani personally. Upon Mr. Haqqani’s request his part of the mail excahnge has been deleted.
We wrote a while back “naun sau choohay kha keh billee haj ko chalee” (after doing 900 wrongs, he has gone for pilgrimage to wash his sins away). Mr. Husain Haqqani has been siting in the lap of the Neoconsdisparaging Islam and vomiting against Pakistan for the best part of a decade. Now he is rewarded with an Ambassadorial position to represent Pakistan.
Mr. Haqqani is the new Ambassador to the USA. As ambassador, Haqqani will essentially act as a “prime minister representative to the USA,” –a job diametrically opposite of what he was doing. Pakistani Americans hopes he is sent back to Sri Lanka.
A Western OrientalGentleman (WOG) came to the USA in 2002. His credentials were pretty weak an MA from The University of Karachi. He noticed that there was a huge opportunity in making a deal with Faust and selling Islamphobia to the naive and scared American public. In the grand tradition of “Orientalism”, this new FOB (Fresh of the boat) man jumped on the Neocon bandwagon and stabbed the Civil Rights Movement in the heart. Mr. Hussain Haqqani’s incorrect, false and incendiary statements caused havoc with the normal functioning of the great American Democracy. Hackles were raised. If a man named Hussian said this, it must be true. If a Pakistani said this it must have veracity.
The major Kashmiri Jihadi groups retain their infrastructure because the Pakistani military has not decided to give up the option of battling India at a future date. Afghanistan’s Taliban also continue to find safe haven in parts of Pakistan.Hussain Haqqani
Mr. Haqqani’s statements and article fanned the wave of Islamphobia which ended up affecting the lives, and livelihood of thousands of Muslims. It was because of this sort of Islamphobic drivel that thousands of Pakistanis were packed up in C-130s and sent back to Pakistan. If they were lucky the spent a few nights in the rape and sodomy centers of 3rd world and Eastern European torture centers. If they were unlucky many of these Pizza Delivery people ended up in Gitmo. If they were unlucky they ended up in satellite prison systems in Egypt and Jordan’s notorious “mukhabarrat”. For these unlucky souls Abu Ghraibwould be a picnic. Many of these horror stories are listed in “Civil Rights in Peril” and hundreds of other Human rights and Amnesty International reports.
Husain Haqqani, a Pakistani diplomat and adviser to Prime Minister Bhutto is the co-chair of Hudson’s Centre on Islam, Democracy and the Future of the Muslim World. The Washington, D.C.-based Hudson Institute has its own of think-tanks with a diverse mix of Ceoconservatives and Pakistani Neocons. Hudson Institute’s CID was established by Hillel Fradkin, a neocon signatory to the PNACs (Project for New American Century), letter to the President Bushurging war against Iraq. It also equated the Palestinian Authority with Al-Qaeda.
Synopses & Reviews Publisher Comments:
Among U.S. allies in the war against terrorism, Pakistan cannot be easily characterized as either friend or foe. Nuclear-armed Pakistan is an important center of radicalIslamic ideas and groups. Since 9/11, the selective cooperation of president General Pervez Musharraf in sharing intelligence with the United States and apprehending al Qaedamembers has led to the assumption that Pakistan might be ready to give up its longstanding ties with radical Islam. But Pakistansstatus as an Islamic ideological state is closely linked with the Pakistani elites worldview and the praetorian ambitions of its military. This book analyzes the origins of the relationships between Islamist groups and Pakistans military, and explores the nations quest for identity and security.

Mr. Neocon goes to Washington–from Pakistan
In 2004, along with Stephen Schwartz - (writer for the ultra-right FrontPage Magazine, Weekly Standard and National Review ) [Stephen Schwartz was part of the Isalfascism drive on campuses in the USA (2b confirmed)- Haqqani co-founded the Institute for Islamic Progress and Peace (IIPP), tasked with the neocon project of "religion building".[Jim Lobe, “US: From nation-building to religion-building”, Asia Times, April 9, 2004] Their repertoire included attacks on US based Muslim advocacy groups such as the Islamic Society of North America, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Students Association. Critics of Israel were hit with the familiar “anti-Semitism” charge. During a tour promoting IIPP, they advised members of a Jewish advocacy group and the Jewish Community Federation that “[t]he Jewish lobby has to organize, write letters, and continue to contribute to politicians to counter the Saudi lobby, which has extraordinary influence in Washington, D.C.”⎢]
Mr. Haqqani addressed the Jewish Institute of National Security Affairs (JINSA). The tone and content of his sppech disparaged Pakistan and Pakistanis.

Dealing with a Difficult Ally; Pakistan’s Tenuous Role in American Foreign Policy
Husain Haqqani Outlines Four Trouble Spots in Pakistan-U.S. Relations
“Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are two of the United State’s most difficult allies. Why difficult? Because there are those who would argue they are not allies at all… but [are, in fact] sources of trouble.” Speaking before a standing-room only crowd at the JINSA Policy Forum on March 2, 2004, Husain Haqqani, a Visiting Scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a former advisor to Pakistani prime ministers Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi, Nawaz Sharif, and BenazirBhutto, shared insights into four alarming trends with the potential to seriously complicate American relations with Pakistan. These trends, he said, are nuclear weapons proliferation, Pakistan’s role as a center of an Islamic militant movement, the continued precariousness of South Asian regionalpolitics, and domestic issues complicating Pakistani efforts towards international engagements.
Nuclear Weapons Proliferation
Reflecting recent mainstream news coverage on the issue, Haqqani, a syndicated columnist for the Indian Express, Gulf News and The Nation (Pakistan), reiterated the pressing danger of Pakistani-orchestrated nuclear arms proliferation. Though such dangers have been recognized by the American government as a growing security threat, he explained, “there is going to be no consequences for Pakistan, because Pakistan is cooperating with the United States in the hunt for Bin Laden.”
Hussain Haqqani during JINSA’s March 2, 2004 Policy Forum.
Pakistan’s Role as a Center of an Militant Islamic Movement
While lauded for its cooperative role in war against terrorism, Haqqani suggested that Pakistan also has, and continues, to serve as the center of an Islamic militant movement. Abdul Alaa Maududi, founder of Pakistan’s Jamaat-e-Islamimovement, authored Jihad for Islam, a seminal work regarded by Haqqani and others “as the boiler plate for subsequent developments in that whole theory about global [Jihaddist] effort.” While Pakistan acts as a centralhub for international Islamic militancy, such violent factions also enjoy domestic support within elements of the Pakistani government. Haqqani suggested that “Pakistan’s military for strategic reasons has allied [with Islamic militancy] time and time against, and it was the alliance between the mosque and the militancy … which produced things like the Taliban.”
The Continued Precariousness of South Asian Regional Politics
The sporadic volatility of Indian-Pakistani relations, Haqqani reasoned, functions as the conduit for Pakistan’s military to gain control of the country. Regardless of the present strategic threat posed by India, the fact remains that “just as major threats to national security require large national security establishments, sometimes having a large national security establishment requires a large national security threat.” Continuing the explanation, “after the threat [of Indian secessionism] is gone, [the Pakistani military] has to continue to say that India is an existentialthreat.” In addition, Kashmir remains a key issue of international dispute, and Haqqani suggested it too functions as the means for the military establishment “essentially to justify its own role as Pakistan’s final arbiter and of the ruler of Pakistan.” By periodically putting pressure on India military Pakistan’s governing body solidifies its dominion over the nation - a particularly perilous and precarious balance of power, especially in light of the recent South Asian nuclear arms race; “The Pakistani military, like all praetorian militaries, basically does not want to relinquish power. So therefore they have to keep the South Asian competition alive.”
Domestic Issues Complicate International Engagements
Pakistan, while competing in the South Asian arms race and possessing the means to deliver nuclear weapons 1500 kilometers beyond its borders and vying for internationalprestige, faces growing domestic economic concerns. Thirty-one percent of the population lives below the internationalpoverty line, with another 21 percent struggling at levels just above the $1 a day threshold. While both India and Pakistan originally faced similar patterns of rampant poverty, poverty levels in India have been decreasing yearly while they continue to rise on an annual basis in Pakistan. Haqqani believes that Pakistan spends roughly six percent on its GDP on the military and, given India’s dynamic economy, Pakistani efforts to match the military outputs of India cannot continue indefinitely.
Concerns over “nuclear weapons, Islamic militancy, extreme poverty, and a military that doesn’t want to relinquish power” exist in Pakistan, Haqqani noted. But complicating possible reformers is the fact that Pakistan’s leadership has historically enjoyed a “grossly exaggerated notion of [its] significance in the world.” The phenomenon has resulted from the United States’ repeated engagement of Pakistan as a client in dealing with regional problems such as supporting the mujaheddin in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union rather than developing a true partnership based on the sharing of liberal values and common regional goals.
Currently the U.S. government supports [Pakistan's dictator] Gen. Pervez Musharraf on account of his promise to continue efforts to defeat Islamic militancy, Haqqani reminded the audience. While Musharraf has enjoyed successes in combating terror, however, the Pakistani leadership continues to view “some Islamic groups [of questionable character in favorable light] because they have been helpful to the Pakistani military in tying down Indian troops in Kashmir.” Moreover, one must wonder why there have been nearly simultaneous terrorist attacks in both Pakistan and Turkey and in Pakistan and Iraq. Indeed, there exists in Pakistan an underground terror network that Musharraf is not targeting “partially because he doesn’t have the capacity to break it down [since] he and many of his military colleagues created this fire. When the ones who lit the fire are asked to put it out they still have some ideas about ‘this part of the fire we like,’” Haqqani said.
The aftermath of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl’s murder provides insight into the troublesome relations between Pakistan’s ruling elite and organizations carrying out terrorism, Haqqani related. When al Qaeda operative Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, upon learning he had been implicated in Pearl’s kidnapping and killing, contacted a Pakistani military intelligence officer who had been his handler, he inadvertently turned himself in to government forces and, moreover, presumably did so with mindset that he was dealing with friendly forces. “The fact that [an al Qaeda terrorist] feels so comfortable with Pakistani intelligence officers … is a source of worry in itself,” Haqqani said.
These issues suggest America should reevaluate its attitude towards Pakistan and the country’s leadership. U.S. policy makers, Haqqani concluded, “have opted so far to put their faith in General Musharraf and nudge him very gently. Not publicly but only privately.” Perhaps, given the gravity of the concerns, it may be best to explore other means to enact policy change and explore the serious challenges Pakistan poses as a difficult ally.
By JINSA Editorial Assistant Shai Dardashti
Is Mr. Haqqani a Pakistani Ambassador a security risk for Pakistan. Is Mr. Husain Haqqani a US citizen? His interests are making money and supporting the Neocon cause disqualifies him from representing Pakistan. As Pakistan’s ambassador at Large, his deep links with the think tanks will jeopardize national security. There was a huge outcry on importing the last Prime Minister from the USA, and Mr. Zardari as well as Mr. Sharif said, that this would never happen in their administration. They are kind of correct, because they are not importing Mr. Haqqani, they are simply giving him a new title. His loyalties will remain with those who have written him huge paychecks.
What irked Pakistani Americans most about Mr. Haqqani’s writings were his insinuations innuendo and portrayal of false history about Islam in America. His most egregious offense was to cast doubt on the loyalty of Muslims in America. His portrayal of terrorists cells and sleeper cells mirrored the writings of Dr. Emersen, Robert Spencer, David Harowitz, Michelle Milkin and others the worst Islamphobes in the planet. For example Mr. Haqqani’s article with the innocuous title “The Politicization of American Islam” is a ticking time bomb for American Muslims. It is exactly these type of writings that have encouraged Michelle Malken to write “The Case for internment”, a book that propounds the thesis that the internment of innocent American citizens who happened to be Japanese
However he has more than skeletons in his closet. He is a closet full of skeletons. For the past decade his sordid connections with the Neocons and their think tanks created this tsunami of Islamphobic rhetoric that eventually turned into a crescendo of Anti-Pakistan balderdash.
The new Pakistani ambassador at Large will be very comfortable in Washington circles. His last paychecks came from the DC think tanks which have propagated the culture of hate against Pakistan. Mr. Husain Haqqani is a honorable gentleman, well read, and prolific in his writings in English as well as Urdu. His mastery of Urdu literature, and his cognizance of world affairs, and his intimate knowledge of Pakistani politics should be commended. In circumstances other than today, he would have made a good ambassador for Pakistan.
As Islam continues to win converts in the United States, these new converts are more likely to be influenced by radical Islam than by traditional Islam.Husain Haqqni
The portrayal of DMS (Dead Muslim Scholars) as progenitors of all evil in the world is a growth industry in America. Mr. Haqqanis writings linking DMSs to 911 and future events is exactly what is depicted in Mr. Geert Wilder’s balderdash “Fitna”. If Fitna is blasphemy, Mr. Haqani’ssacrilegious writings also create psychopathic paranoia in the intellectual circles of America. What is worse, Mr. Haqqani’swritings are then quoted as “fact” to create discriminatory laws, illegal surveillance and creates the case to end Habeas Corpus via the “Patriot Act” Laws.
Many mosques and organizations in North America are influenced or controlled by associates of the Muslim Brotherhood Hussain Haqqani
These sort of statements are insidious on many counts:
1) What does “some” mean. There are more than 3000 mosques in the USA. Taking a conservative estimate of 10% that amounts to about 300 mosques. Even if it is 150 (5%) or even less than that 50, that is enough to cover many major cities of the USA. In fact Congressman Peter King and Mr. Emersen did exactly what was feared. They took Mr. Haqqani’s sentence and substituted “some” for 80% and plastered the internet and airwaves with this gobbledygook
2) The other problem with this claptrap is usage the of the word “controlled.” Mr. Haqqani makes it sound as if the mosques are fully owned franchises of the Waffen SS, complete with nazi salutes, arms and brownshirts. In fact this is exactly what has happened, Mr. Robert Spencer taking cue from writings like those of Mr. Haqqani recently celebrated “Islam-Fascism” week on American University campuses. All Islamphobes one can list were there spreading the same kind of hate. This sort of nonsense also shows up in American foreign policy, targeted killings, drone bombings and cross border raids on innocent civilians in Waziristan and FATA. In a sense this article is responsible for blood on Mr. Haqqani’s hands. Obviously the poorly run, dilapidated building passing for mosques are the first attempt of Muslims to create and be part of the American mainstream by building a community. Mr. Haqqani’s unsubstantiated claims not withstanding, there are several books that have repudiated this drivel. Two books “Why they don’t hate us”, and “Civil rights in Peril” refute the Haqqani neurosis. We wish Mr. Haqqani had participated in writing these and thse types of books. Alas! Mr. Haqqani used his command of the English language to fill his pockets on the heads of poor and innocent Muslims and Pakistanis
3) Mr. Haqqani’s insinuations have harmed the Muslims in America and Muslims all over the world an has harmed Pakistan by these type of articles. For example he insinuation has tried tie Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) with these groups overseas. The struggle for Muslim Civil Rights has thus impaired Muslim civil rights and harmed America.
4) Muslim Civili Rights organization and other organizations in the USA know Mr. Haqqani’s records. Mr. Haqqani will be unable to function in the USA as an ambassador of one of the largest Muslim countries in the world when he is identified with the Neocons who forced Mr. Bush to wage war on Afghanistan and Iraq. It is these same Neocons who are ready to attack Iran and bomb Pakistan.
In short, Mr. Haqqani’s writings have done great harm to Pakistanis and Muslims.
This is his official biography posted on his own website http://www.husainhaqqani.com/:
Husain Haqqaniis Director of the Center for International Relations and Professor at Boston University. He is Co-Chair of the Hudson Institute’sProject on the Future of the Muslim World as well as editor of the journal ‘Current Trends in Islamist Thought’ published from Washington DC.
Haqqanicame to the U.S. in 2002 as a Visiting Scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for InternationalPeace in Washington DC and an adjunct Professor at the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at Johns Hopkins University. He is a leading journalist, diplomat, and former advisor to Pakistani Prime ministers. His syndicated column is published in several newspapers in South Asia and the Middle East, including Oman Tribune, Jang, The Indian Express, Gulf News and The Nation (Pakistan).
Husain Haqqani is co-chair of the Islam and Democracy Project at the Hudson Institute. This is a Neocon think tank which is very Anti-Islam. For details on this group with Fascist leanings, see Appendix A. Mr. Haqqani not only was a member of this institute, he also participated in and was the co-chair “Islam and Democracy”, an anthology of Islamphobic writings spreading paranoia and hatred towards all Muslims and Pakistanis in America.
Semantics are extremely important. We strenuously objected to Mr. Haqqani’s usage of Quranic words for nafarous purposes. He continues to use the words giving succor to the enemy, but also encouragin appartichiks like Mr. Shaharyar to “monkey say monkey do” follow in his footsteps and use the same blasphemous wordings. Mr. Haqqani should be aware that blasphemy is still an offense in Pakistan and congucating Quranic terms to portray ignoble people is blasphemy. When Pakistani territory is called a “safe haven”, instead of a hideout, it creates paranoia in Washington.
The Ideologies of South Asian Jihadi Groups (Current Trends in Islamist Ideology, April 2005)
We have repeatedly requested Mr. Haqqani not to use Neocon language. He continues to do so. One would have expected Mr. Haqqani to be the frontline “haraval dasta” to mold American opinion in projecting a realistic picture of Pakistan. By his writings, Mr. Neocon Haqqani did the exact opposite.
Against the murdered shut the door, not bear the knife himself
The Pakistani Ambassador to the United States of America is one of the most important positions in the world. The Ambassador represents Pakistan, Pakistani thought and Pakistani interests. Mr. Haqqani represents none of the credentials. The fastest way to fame in the America of 2002 was to create an atmosphere of “the hordes are coming” and write about “sleeper cells”. Mr. Haqqani in a faustian deal with the think tanks did exactly that. To sell books and get his articles published Mr. Haqqani followed the Salman Rusdie route to notoriety. He is a biased partisan of the PPPP to such an extent that he has for the past decade sacrificed Pakistan’s interests for the sake of putting the PPPP back in power in Islamabad.
In the interest of full disclosure, this author has been in email contact with Mr. Haqqani for years. We posted the email exchange on RupeeNews.com, however Mr. Haqqani objected to personal email being posted on the internet. This was a reasonable request so we removed his portion of the comments. He appreciated the quick response to his request.
These issues will not go away. It would be best if Mr. Haqqani is never made Ambassador. It would be horrible for him, if had to resign later.
This article will be researched and Mr. Haqqani’s writings will be added to the articles on a periodic basis. By writing this article we are very well aware that our invitations to the Pakistani Embassy implaced by Dr. Maleeha Lodhi will be canceled by Mr. Haqqani!

The Politicization of American Islam by Husain Haqqani Published on Tuesday, March 18, 2008
REPORTS Current Trends in Islamist Ideology vol. 6
Since its inception, the Muslim Brotherhood has defined itself as the vanguard of a globalIslamic revival. After starting out in Egypt in 1928, the Brotherhood had set up branches in Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Morocco, Hyderabad (India), Hadramawt (Yemen) and Paris by 1937.1 The universality of the Brotherhood’s ideology and organization was described by its founder, Hassan al-Banna when he said:
A Muslim individual, Muslim family, Muslim nation, Muslim government and Muslim state should be able to lead Islamic governments, should be able to unite the dispersed Muslims, should be able to regain their honor and superiority, and should be able to recover their lost lands, their usurped regions and their occupied territories. Then it should be able to raise the flag of Jihad and the call towards Allah until the entire world is benefited by the teachings of Islam.2
In al-Banna’s vision, the Brotherhood was not to be restricted to a single country or region. Its members had the responsibility of organizing themselves and carrying its message throughout the world. Since the objective of this organization was not merely to expand Islamic piety but rather to create an Islamic political entity, the Brotherhood could not ignore the major actors in its global power play. Within the Muslim world, the Brotherhood sought members who would struggle to create and lead what they construed as the Islamic State. In countries with non-Muslim majorities, the purpose was to advance the Brotherhood’s political agenda by all means possible. In a message addressed to members of the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Banna stated:
Always remember that you have two basic objectives: number one, that the Islamic country should be free from all foreign control, for freedom is the natural right of every man which can be denied only by an oppressive dictator; second, in this free land [the concept of freedom in this context is very different from a Western understanding], a free Islamic government should be established which should act on the Islamic commands, should enforce its collective system, should declare its right principles as operative, and should popularize among the people its message which is based on wisdom. As long as the government is not established, all Muslims will be guilty, and for any slackness and carelessness in this connection will have to be accountable before Allah.3
The Muslim Brothers’ mission is defined in a seven-point pledge of allegiance, which emphasizes the connection between being personally religious and creating an Islamic polity.
The Oath of Allegiance
First, a person who takes the oath of allegiance to the Brotherhood acknowledges that he will build up “an Islamic personality: his body should be strong; his character should be firm; his thinking should be mature and balanced; he should be capable of earning his living and be resourceful; his belief should be on the right lines and his prayers should be selfless; he should be keen for his progress as an individual, and mindful of his time; all his affairs should be organized; and his existence should be beneficial for others to the best possible extent. These are the duties of every Muslim Brother individually.”4
Second, he should establish a Muslim family. Each Brother should win the loyalty of his own family members; he should prepare them to be respectful of Islamic etiquette in their private lives and to follow it. He should give to his sons and his servants the best available training and should instruct them, bringing them up on Islamic teachings. This is the duty of a Muslim Brother in relation to his family.
Third, the Brother should work to reform society. He should popularize righteous living; he should encourage the prohibition of evil deeds, and should encourage performance of good acts that exalt virtue, and a competitive spirit in performing good deeds. Importantly, he should induce the people to “color their whole living in the Islamic hue.”5 This is the duty of the Muslim Brotherhood, of every Brother individually, and it is also the responsibility, as a whole, of the entire Jamaah of the Brotherhood.
Fourth, a Muslim Brother should free his country from every foreign, non-Islamic control. He should not allow any other political, spiritual or economic power to step into authority.
Fifth, he should reform his government until it is, in the true sense of the word, converted into an Islamic type of government, able to perform its duty and responsibility as a servant of the entire Muslim community of believers, or Umma.
Sixth, the Muslim Brotherhood should collectively work to restore the international position of the Umma. To this end, it will be necessary to liberate occupied Muslim regions. The Brotherhood should restore Muslim honor and superiority; it should promote its civilization and re-establish its culture. A new spirit of oneness should be instilled until the entire Ummabecomes a heartwarming unity. In this way the crown and throne of the caliphate of the world can be regained. Seventh, the Muslim Brotherhood should perform the duties of the teacher, serving as the “guide to the whole world.”6 Beginning with the individual, the focus then expands to the family, then the Muslim society, then the Muslim states and governments, and then to the whole world. The Muslim Brotherhood stipulates spreading its politicized version of Islam “to every nook and cranny of the world in a way that there will not remain any trace of polytheism on this earth, and everywhere the invigorating sight of obedience to Allah may be seen everywhere. Indeed, Allah cannot but make his light supreme.”7 This casting of Islam as an ideology, as opposed to a religion that serves as the means of spiritualsalvation to its followers, sets the Muslim Brotherhood apart from purely religious groups. Assertions about the universality of a religion can be found in the writings and pronouncements of preachers of other faiths. Statements such as eliminating polytheism might have been read differently, perhaps as pious objectives of a puritanical group, if the political agenda of foisting an Islamic State did not accompany these declarations.
The objectives, the method, and the outline of the Muslim Brotherhood’s message as defined by its founder in the 1930s—shortly after the founding of the Brotherhood—has been consistently followed by successive generations of Muslim Brotherhood members. Since then, the Muslim Brotherhood and its fellow travelers have expanded their presence to almost all continents. In the United States, the Brotherhood’s expansion has been particularly significant.
Taking Root in American Soil
There was an indigenous Muslim community in America, especially among African-Americans, long before significant numbers of immigrant Muslims started arriving in the 1950s and 1960s. In the 1950s, Muslim immigrants came either as students at American colleges and universities, or as young men and women who, after completing their education, decided to pursue the American dream. They did not come to Islamize the United States or to pursue the agenda of politicalIslam. But they did have religious

| Good job bro...
This imbecille has to be exposed on National TV...I saw his sorry a$$ on one of the shows with Imran Khan and Sohail Warraich and my blood was boiling listening to him...People in the know how especially those with access to Imran Khan should brief him/them regarding his machinations in US and his true agenda, they then in turn should highlight this in media, especially in the show where he makes appearances...
Imran Khan probably had no idea what this traitor had been upto while in the US...therefore he couldn't say anything in that regard...Imran should be prepared next time... | | | |
