US funds were diverted to strengthen defence against India: Musharraf

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly versionSend to friendSend to friendPDF versionPDF versionSLAMABAD: Former President Pervez Musharraf has said that military aid provided by the US to Pakistan for the war against terror during his tenure had been used to strengthen defences against India, the first such admission by any top Pakistani leader.  Musharraf admitted that he had violated rules governing the use of the military aid, and justified his actions by saying he had "acted in the best interest of Pakistan."  In an interview with a news channel, he said he "did not care" whether the US would be angered by his disclosure. The former military ruler, who resigned as President in August last year to avoid impeachment, said he was not ready to compromise on Pakistan's interests.  India and several influential lawmakers in the US have been saying that Pakistan had used funds given to it by the US to take on militants to strengthen its defences against India. However, Pakistan had been denying the charges.  Musharraf said that if he had not supported the US in the war against terror after the 9/11 attacks, American forces could have entered Pakistan to capture its nuclear assets. He said it was also possible that the US and India could have jointly attacked the country.  Musharraf said Pakistan's nuclear programme was so advanced during his tenure that scientists had not only begun enriching uranium but had also developed plutonium-based weapons.  Asked about scientist A Q Khan's claim that he had been forced to make a confession about running a nuclear proliferation network, Musharraf said Khan "had done a lot but he was lying that he was forced to apologise before the nation".  Musharraf said he expects justice from the country's Chief Justice Ifthikar M Chaudhry if he is tried for treason and for the killing of Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Akbar Bugti.  Musharraf, whose act of imposing emergency in 2007 was declared as "unconstitutional" by the Supreme Court, claimed Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz had assured him that PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif will not insist on his trial for treason.  Sharif has been pressuring the Pakistan People's Party-led government to put Musharraf on trial.  Musharraf said if he is put on trial for treason, all the judges who supported his decisions should also be tried.  He had declared the emergency on November 3, 2007 after sacking 60 members of the higher judiciary, including Chaudhry.  The former President, who is currently living in London, told Express News channel that he expects justice from Chaudhry if he is tried for treason and for the killing of Baloch Nationalist leader Nawab Akbar Bugti.  The Balochistan High Court had on Friday issued notices to Musharraf and his aides to appear before it in connection with the killing.

About Pakistani

About Pakistani Muslims:

Lying is in their blood whether it is common Pakistani or president of Pakistan. ( Ex President Musharraf denied pak involvement in Kargil through out the war and to prove his point Pak army even handed over Flt. Lt. Nachiketa to India). Later on, The same Ex President said that it was well planned and it forced India to talk to Pakistan about Kashmir.

Current Statement is the further addition in his resume of lies.

"Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz had assured him that PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif will not insist on his trial for treason"

Is this country has any rules or constitution? Is, Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz , the father of Islamic countries?


Let me tell that the US knew

Let me tell that the US knew quite well that Musharougue or any other Muslim President of Pakistan would use these funds to strengthen their battle against India. US wants to keep India and Pakistan in perpetual battle so that India doesn't develop. This is supremacist's policy. When US attacked Afghanistan, they sought Paksitan's help and not India's even though they knew that Pak wouldn't be fighting Taliban with their own will. This is cos a Muslim wouldn't fight anohter Muslim when it comes to facing a common enemy.

Well Ali Sena, mark my words. It is the developed world that is helping Muslims in their advancement. If Pakistan uses a nuclear bomb--thanks to US funds, Chinese technology-- then the whole world sees it as Hindu-Muslim conflict coz the media is owned by partisans. If India retaliates, then the media calls them bullies. So much for intellectual honesty from the western world!


The space ships of USA travel

The space ships of USA travel lightening speed around the orbits of Titan,Mars and other parts of our galaxy.The inventions,research and development,medical miralces and electronic technological enhancements are the fractional part of the extraordinary brain of their scientists.However the destruction of US is already begun by the hands of their lunatic politicians.It seems that these politicians have brain capacity of a monkey. We(the ordinary people)can understand the tricks,lies and twists of Muslim worlds but these politicians who are in power of world's most advance and powerful country are totaly failed.This is insanity.I don't understand this phenomena!!


Obama will give billions to

Obama will give billions to Pakistan to fight talibans. Pakistan will purchase advanced helicopters and fighter planes to meet the leaders to inform them when will NATO attack them and through which path their supply trucks travel. They will divert the funds to train the freedom fighters of kashmir ( read terrorists ) to kill indian as well as western infidels in Mumbai and elsewhere. The paki ministers will travel in bullet proof cars alongwith taliban , al queda, Let, Saeed and mazhoor, Don Dawood etc., They use American funds to purchase currency notes paper from UK and printing machines from Europe to print fake Indian notes to distribute through Nepal and Bangladesh. US is supplying the money, IMF is giving the Loans, West is supplying the equipments on lease and Saudi King is brokering the politicains and political Power in Pakistan. US should rethink why a failed state should be funded further to create more chaos in this part of the world.


Long live Musharraf.You've

Long live Musharraf.You've done exactly what should be done.I saw him as an enemy to the Taliban but he's now proving to be the darling of the masses.The zionist state and the Jewnited States of Americunts are bastards who should be retaliated at all costs.Get the funding that Obama promised to Pakistan and use it to fund the Kashmir freedom fighters.

We are together and the Taliban and the magnificient Al-Qaeda will stay forever.They use billions of funds in a stupid course looking for a single man.Osama lives happily and its only the foolish states that wastes their revenues on the stupidity of fighting a loosing battle.

Its funny how these killers pretend to be fighting for democracy.The number one terrorists are the Americans and other western countries.But they are not going any far.

http://www.democracynow.org/2009/7/30/the_hell_of_war_comes_home

The US soldiers crying after battling the mighty Taliban.We thought they are the superpower fighting a bunch of 'terrorists.'Lol! Crying in the battle fields.

http://www.anwar-alawlaki.com/?p=169

We will cast fear in their hearts and let them cry of Islamophobia on daily basis.Islam is here to stay.

MAY ALLAH BLESS ALL MUSLIMS INSHAALLAH.

WOW! sATAN RULES THE WORLD.

WOW!
sATAN RULES THE WORLD. How can anyone join an organization that enjoys beheading and killing other people. HOW CAN ANYONE ENJOY SEXING A BABY! HOW CAN ANYONE CALL OTHERS NAMES AND NOT EXPECT THE SAME. HOW CAN ANY ONE BELONG TO A GROUP THAT READS A BOOK THAT SAID THEIR GOD WAS THE GREATEST LIAR, DECEIVER, SCHEMER, SURA 3:54.

THE KKK HAVE A HOLY BOOK CALLED THE KLORAN AND IT SAYS THE SAME HATE OF JEWS, BLACKS AND CHRISTIANS. THE KKK IS BASED ON SCOTTISH WITCHCRAFT AND THEY BELIEVED IN OMENS AND THAT BLACKS WERE CURSED. WHY WOULD A GOD CREATED PEOPLE TO BE ABUSED BY ANOTHER HUMAN. WELL BLACKS ARE NOT HUMAN, BUT PROPERTY TO MUSLIMS, SO THE QURAN SAYS. WOW! INSANE INDEED! PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW MEN CAN LIE SO RELIGIOUSLY AND DECEITFULLY.


I have nothing good to say

I have nothing good to say about Musharraf.

Not since he started siding with rapists and calling rape victims of Pakistan opportunists. That is just wrong and appalling of a man who claims to want to bring enlightment to Pakistan. Yes great enlightment. The women should be raped, stay silent or suffer at the wrath of dirty politics and the misogynist Hudood Ordinance which equates rape to fornication.

Mukhtar Mai, doctor Shazia Khalid, Sonia Naz - just a few names out of the hundreds of thousands.

I spoke to som pakistani male acquaintences and they noncholantly dismissed all rapes as media propaganda initiated by external forces (read: the West, the US, Israel, the Jews etc). The victims are just immoral women lying. No wonder this is allowed to go on and all rapists are ultimately freed of any accusations.

So he holds little credibility in my eyes if any at all.

Maybe one day Pakistan can divert their focus from India and military to providing for the people what they need the most: economical stability and social justice. Something which has eluded the country so far.


What a misleading article and

What a misleading article and even a more misleading title! The hallmark of Ali Sina and FaithFreedom Muslim bashers. Did you all even WATCH the video? What he said was,

1. Military aid was used to strengthen Pakistani military - Obviously! How do you expect Pakistan to fight a war against an invisible enemy like Taliban without proper funds. We are fighting a war for AMERICAN sake, not for our sake, we were perfectly fine before we involved in this American war. So obviously to fight AMERICAN war we WILL use your money, that includes strengthening Pakistan Military and defense to fight an unconventional type of enemy. Now you all must get this thru ur thick heads that Pakistan is paying MORE than what it receives. We also need to act in our national interest, we need to make sure that in case Indians attack us, we are ready to defend our country.

2. Bought equipment goes to Military Units - Military Units rotate every year, to different fronts. American equipment received stay with each unit. Equipment is given to units based on the Western fronts, fighting Taliban. Now when the units rotate the equipments STAYS with the units. So in case units are on Eastern front against India and if India attacks then obviously! we'll use our units against India.

3. Nuclear issue - India blames Pakistan for modernizing nuclear plants. India is developing ICBMS, modernizing their nuclear system. Why shouldn't we when our nuclear program is meant to COUNTER India's.

CONCLUSION - This website has lost intellectual appeal due to bias and misleading texts. Do your research before you make silly statements and claims. Ali Sina, you are the same guy who had a great bright idea of concluding that Obama suffers from some kind of personality disorder and that he is evil. After reading this and some recent posts on your website, I conclude that you Ali Sina suffer from personality disorders, insecurity, and that you will forever remain confused in your life and be committed to your feeble attempt at bringing Islam down.


And Jack Eliud, Musharraf is

And Jack Eliud, Musharraf is not with the Taliban. Taliban are the reason we have websites like faithfreedom. Taliban are a huge stain on Islam. Beheading Muslims, whipping men, women, without any trial or any evidence, is not what Islam teaches. So take your Wahhabi brand of Islam back to Arab land, where your leaders are playboys and your subjects are practicing without any intention or will.


"The hallmark of Ali Sina and

"The hallmark of Ali Sina and FaithFreedom Muslim bashers."

So by generalizing you are making an feeble attempt to rid of misunderstandings and generalization?

Again for the thickheaded - criticism of islam, religion, God, be that ANY religion, does not equate to bashing.

"We are fighting a war for AMERICAN sake, not for our sake, we were perfectly fine before "

I see. I am thinking the women of Swat valley along with the women in Afghanistan will beg to differ with you on that point. Everybody was not fine. People especially women were and are suppressed under Taliban. Lashings, cutting of hans, persecution, child brides reign with terror. But why should you care? Afterall it is not you pinned down being stoned or lashed.

"Beheading Muslims, whipping men, women, without any trial or any evidence, is not what Islam teaches"

You might want to study Islam and its fundamental sources then. Stoning and lashing(whipping) is in line with Sharia as stated in the hadith. The Quran does not mention stoning but it does mention cutting of feet and hands (enemies and in theft, hands only) as well as lashings (adultery and fornication). There are other punishments too such as killing apostates, killing gays (unless the gay men repent and change their ways) whilst gay females would be left inside a house to die.

"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land" (5:33)

"As to the thief, Male or female, cut off his or her hands: a punishment by way of example, from Allah, for their crime: and Allah is Exalted in power. " (5:38)

"If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, Take the evidence of four (Reliable) witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them to houses until death do claim them, or Allah ordain for them some (other) way." (4:15)

"If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, Leave them alone; for Allah is Oft-returning, Most Merciful. " (4:16)

"The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment. " (24:2)

"And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations),- flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors. Unless they repent thereafter and mend" (24:4-5)

The hadith on the topic are various. I am sure if you sit down with Sahih Bukhari or Sahih Muslim, you will find the hadith underlying this issue.

How do you view this in light of the scholarly consensus that the commands or guidance of the Quran is for all times and not changable?

"your feeble attempt at bringing Islam down."

The blaming and pointing fingers won't do much good considering many muslims are sadly doing a great job at "bringing down" Islam by portraying it in a less flattering light through their actions derived from the religious interpretations by the scholars. Just read and listen to what the scholars write and issue fatwas on. If that does not get you fuming, then your concern hold little credibility..

I will say that denial only complicates the issues at hand facing Islam. There are problems and many muslims are suffering under it as well as minorities in muslim countries. In Pakistan Musharraf has maintained the Hudood Ordinance, which demands 4 adult male sane witnesses from a woman to prove she was raped. As rape is not a public matter such witnesses will be hard to find. In the absence of such witnesses she will instead be accused of zina (fornication) and punished by being thrown in jail. And jail for women in a country like Pakistan is not exactly paradise.

This was what Zia ul Haq left behind. Islamic party members in the pakistani Parlament have affectively and zealously opposed any amendments to or removal of this HudoodOrdinance despite concerns voiced by Pakistani human right activists and lawyers and feminists. Saudi has a similar system. All women who were raped and came forward were sentenced to lashings in accordance with the Sharia system. This is no coincidence and nothing to do with Wahabi or such but islam. That is why these laws are not being removed or changed.

Yet I hear no accusation of these laws attempting to bring down Islam. Is the silence to be taken as agreement? I understand that you personally do not agree with such things but nevertheless these are part of Sharia and Islam today. And I am personally interested in how this can be resolved so that people can live together in peace without fear or danger.

Good point -- as a Muslim and a Pakistani.

Pakistan can forget fighting India -- with conventional weapons or nukes. Pakistan cannot last 4 nukes. India isn't your enemy, Islam is. If you stand by what you have posted, you are seeking your own doom.

Please read me

.. here: http://www.faithfreedom.org/2009/08/30/pakistan-modified-us-missiles/

Thank you for your time.


Syed Husainie: 1. Are you

Syed Husainie:

1. Are you saying that Pakistan is just like another tribe which can not fight the Taliban and other Islamic groups(the groups of true Muslims), led by Osama bin laden ( New messenger for Muslims) without outside help and claim to ready to fight with India which is much more powerful in strength and Technology. Your own President - Zardari and Foreign Minister have already said that Pakistan is fighting the war for its own survival not for anyone else? Are you a spokesman or something for Pakistan government who is making contradictory statement? Are you saying that you have rented out your army to western world to kill innocent converted Muslims (students from madarasa) while on the other hand, your army has a very deep relationship with Taliban, LET and other terrorist organization?

2. Do you even know that Nato forces do not trust Pakistan army and intelligence any more, they plan & execute their operation without letting Pak army know and target main leaders of terrorist groups instead of common citizens. Pak army has been opposing this tactics as they feel helpless, in their own country, in defending the leaders of terrorist organization.

3. Has the War over with terrorist groups? Is Pakistan able to impose its national constitution in every part of country? If not than why does Pakistan also rotates the military equipment which was provided by the west to Fight Islamic terrorism? How many times India has attacked Pakistan in the past, it was always Pakistan who started the war? Now your own Army personal and politician are accepting the truth. India, when had chance & every right, did not attack Pakistan, either in 2003 parliament attack or just after 26 Nov Mumbai attack. Why would a fast growing country like India would attack a country like Pakistan who is fighting poverty, Islamic Extremism (true Islam), fighting a war for his own survival? Your point does not make any sense.

4. First save your country from Taliban/ true Islam than think about modernizing nuclear weapons. Indian Army is far advance and more powerful than Pakistan Army in terms of equipments and strength. If North Korea Buys/steals some nuclear bomb from some smuggler Like Abdul Kadir khan (Father of Pakistan atomic bomb), would not make North Korea equal to USA or Russia or England or so . World is only worried, because these Bombs might end up in the hands of Terrorist organization with the help of true Muslims like Abdul Kadir Khan or so. India does not need to have ICBM or aircraft carrier to deal with Pakistan.

5. Lying is in the blood of common Pakistani Muslim let it be common Paki or president of Pakistan.

6. Pakistani National hero, Abdul Kadir Khan (The Smuggler) has been charged with stealing technical documents (Gas centrifuge blueprints –sensitive to nuclear technology) in the Netherlands, but he and Pakistani government denies the charges. Later his own Paki government put him under house arrest for selling/smuggling the nuclear technology to other countries. National Heroes are the role model for the citizens to follow, but with such type of role model what else one would expect from Pakistanis.

7. This is the only country where Army general can send the democratically elected Prime Minister to jail, this is the only country where the same jailed prime minister along with other supporters can force the President to resign, this is the same country where President can suspend the judiciary for unknown reasons, their army is helping the islamic terrorist in planning the attacks on Nato forces.

8. Pakistan is the country which has got best terrorist training camps in the world and supplies them in regular basis to his neighboring countries and deep sea countries. When bomb blast and terrorist activities take place in other countries than become sympathetic by saying that we both are the victim of terrorism.

9. Pakistan has always shown double standards in dealing with the terrorism, we have the very latest example of Mumbai attack, every one is fully aware about this, so do not make fool of your self.

Pakistan is a great failure, nothing else.


My replies right now are to

My replies right now are to Wanderer, Kafir123, I'll reply to u in time as i have loads of uni homework.

Wanderer to your statement that Pakistan is fighting it's OWN war. Taliban bringing in their Wahhabi laws iin Swat was unheard of before 9/11. The phenomenon only took place once Pakistan decided to help US and NATO forces. You are probably assuming I have no knowledge of Swat. I'm for Pakistan. i have lived in Canada for 9 years and Pakistan for 11. I still remember going to Swat in 2000, 1999, 1997, it was like heaven. Everything was jus really peaceful n calm. There was no violence. The only signs of mistreatment to women was the century old TRIBAL system of honor killings, which in Swat was VERY RARE and was rather more common in Bolochistan. So I don't know what bright idea came to your mind which made u say that Swat was a warzone before 9/11. Swat had women colleges, schools like any other area. Tourism was ripe. Things were great. I remember going there with my friends and cousins and none of them was wearing a hijab and no one was luking at us as if they wanted to kill us.

ur other comment is about my post, “Beheading Muslims, whipping men, women, without any trial or any evidence, is not what Islam teaches”. Now from your reply lol, you seem to think I don;t know about my own religion. I know much more than you wanderer and I never said Islam has no stoning, no cutting etc. what i did say is that punishment without any trial, without any evidence, is not justifiable in Islam. If a woman and a man commit adultery in closed quarters with only themselves as witness, there can be no punishment since no one else has seen the act. Read the Sharia laws, u all seem to believe ur mentor Ali Sina into thinking Taliban laws are Sharia. Ur wrong.

I go to mosque regularly. If not daily i go at least on friday's to listen to their sermons. u mite b happy to hear i haven't heard any violent or controversial sermons in my life.

For the last time, Taliban are brainswashed by men involved in all sorts of unIslamic things. The Sharia Law they seem to follow is not even Sharia! They carry out punishments witthout trial and prooof nd evidence. They attack mosques and refuse to pray behind non-Taliban Imams. That is a clear violation of Islamic laws.

Stop wandering wanderer. think realistically. and think without bias. 5-6 years ago i used to be a regular member to this forum. but this website has lost objectiveness. Everything posted now is misleading, like this article, like sayiing Obama is evil and sick... like come on... grow up. take a chill pill!


Syed Husainie: Looks like

Syed Husainie:

Looks like you are in full agreement whatever I said about Pakistan and its Muslim Citizens.

Thanks for accepting the truth by not replying as promised by You.

Now if you think that you are a true Muslim than go and get your DNA tested, if blueprint matches with Arab, than surely, you should the result of Rape or forceful marriages at the time of Islamic Invasion. But If you still posses the DNA which matches to your non Muslim counterpart in the region than surely you are Muslim as a result of Jazia or protection Tax. So wake up and convert back to your old religion or at least give up the Islam to show some respect to your ancestors who had gone through horrible time during Islamic rule. .
