On Tuesday 12th February, many Pakistani newspapers including The News, Dawn, The Nation and Daily Times reported a conference held on Monday 11th February at Pakistan National Council of the Arts to commemorate National Women Day. It was attended by different human rights and women rights NGOs and was arranged by the Aurat Foundation, South Asia Partnership-Pakistan (SAP-PK), Strengthening Participatory Organization (SPO), Sungi Development Foundation and Sustainable Development Policy Initiative. Its objectives were to pressurize the government to enhance the role of women in politics and improve their participation in the economic life of the country. The speakers also urged the authorities to "repeal discriminatory laws against women and take more steps for protecting their human rights, ensuring a congenial atmosphere for becoming respectable members of society". I.A. Rahman, a human rights activist in Pakistan, remarked that the political situation was not encouraging especially for women and that women were not allowed to represent their constituency but only given a space to sit in legislative buildings. He said, "Political participation means to play a role and unfortunately political parties are not allowed to play a political role" and also, "that without economic empowerment women would not be able to play a political role."
It is most regrettable that this conference failed to offer the real solutions to the problems faced by women of economic hardship and having little influence in the political process of the country. Infact these problems are faced by women all over the subcontinent including in Bangladesh, India and Afghanistan, because the same capitalist system along with its secular and liberal values is being implemented there. Based on these values and system, the law makers within these countries decide the fate of millions of men and women by making such economic policies that serve their own vested interests and safeguard the interests of their masters - the IMF, World Bank, and Western states. How can the women or men for that matter, be provided a secure economic life or their standard of living be improved when we are the economic slaves of such institutions and foreign governments and our countries are run on debt, fuelled by the capitalist interest-based financial model of economics that has crippled ordinary women and men with severe poverty? During the last fiscal year, Pakistan's public debt grew by 493.6% as a percentage of its revenues, while the country consumed roughly 40% of its revenues for servicing such debts according to the Debt Policy Statement 2012-13 from the Ministry of Finance. Under flawed capitalist policies, inflation has increased to such a level that one dollar is now equivalent to more than a hundred Pakistani Rupees because the government is printing more money to pay back the loans without the paper currency being backed by the relevant amount of gold or silver. This has resulted in the spiraling of food and commodity prices. Being a net importer country with a weak manufacturing base, Pakistan's capitalist government oversees the devaluation of the Rupee, in accordance to IMF orders. The economic condition of women will only deteriorate if these policies according to the Capitalist mindset continue.
It is ludicrous to believe that under this rotten system that has caused the economy of Pakistan and the Muslim world to sink under a mountain of debt, imposed policies that have destroyed domestic markets, robbed states of their wealth and resources, and placed an economic stranglehold on the people by subjecting them to high taxes and extortionate prices for basic necessities including gas and electricity, that simply pushing women into employment will alleviate their economic woes. Also pushing women to do jobs and earn for themselves under the Capitalist sytem simply creates other problems as they are then exposed to the exploitative capitalist environment of the state, where individuals, businesses, and corporations are allowed to exploit cheap labour for huge profits, subjecting women to dangerous and back-breaking working conditions.
Secondly, the idea that increasing female MP's will increase women's influence in the political process of the state is false. Pakistan has a higher percentage of women parliamentarians in the lower house (23%) than the USA which has only 17% women but this has meant nothing to the political rights or voice of ordinary women in Pakistan. How useful have these seats in parliament been when the whole system favors only the elite class - the daughters and nieces of the feudal lords and wealthy businessmen to run in elections, who then like all the other politicians make laws for their own benefit and not for the masses?
So the real solution lies in rejecting these liberal and secular capitalist values and system. The solutions promoted by Capitalism causes more problems for women. The real solution lies in the implementation of the laws made by the Creator(swt) who knows his creation better than we know ourselves due to our limited intellect. Allah (swt) says:
((أَلَا يَعۡلَمُ مَنۡ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ ٱللَّطِيفُ ٱلۡخَبِيرُ))
"Should not He Who has created know? And He is the Most Kind and Courteous (to His slaves), the Well-Acquainted (with everything)." [TMQ al-Mulk: 14]
The real solution lies in implementing a system wherein the men and women will not be able to make laws according to their own whims and desires to save their seats, or folllow the orders of the IMF and World Bank and implement harmful trade agreements, or run an economy upon the exploitative and detrimental principle of interest. Rather it will be a system, where Allah (swt)'s laws - like the currency being based on gold and silver, the prohibition of interest, the economy being founded on wealth creation rather than debt, and the local currency being delinked from foreign currencies like the dollar - are implemented. Only a sound economic system that provides the basic necessities of life to every citizen by way of being an obligation and not only as a "good thing to do" can secure the economic rights of women. It is a system that is obliged to create good employment opportunities for men for they are obliged to provide for their families, and where women have the choice to work or not to work as their basic necessities of life are fulfilled by their menfolk or the state. It is a system that will not accept any exploitative environment within the society, ensuring that women in employment enjoy safe and just working conditions. All this will only be achieved by the Khilafah "Caliphate" state.
It is also a system where the women as well as men have a full say in the political affairs of the country, i.e in accounting the ruler and making him implement the laws of Allah (swt) completely and comprehensively. It is a state where a common woman can account the ruler like at the time of Khalifah Umar (ra), where an ordinary woman fearlessly challenged Umar (ra) who was the leader of the state on his order to limit the mahr (dowry), saying to him, "Umar! You have no right to intervene in a matter which Allah the All-Mighty has already decreed in the Qur'an" mentioning the ayah in Surah An-Nisa, verse 20. Umar changed his decision based on the evidence from Islam, saying, "I am in the wrong and she is correct" - reflecting the fact that under the Khilafah "Caliphate", the reference for resolving disputes is the Islamic texts and not the whims of the ruler who cannot legislate laws according to his own interests or to favour his family and friends.
And it is a system where ordinary women and men both have the same political rights to elect their ruler and become members of the Majlis al Ummah to represent their respective provinces and to account the rulers but they do not legislate as this is the right of the Creator alone. I call upon the women's rights and human rights activists of Pakistan and the Muslim world to reject these flawed and harmful capitalist values and system and call towards the implementation of the Khilafah "Caliphate" state which is the only savior of women from their current plight. Allah (swt) says:
((أَفَمَنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَانَهُ عَلَىٰ تَقْوَىٰ مِنَ اللَّـهِ وَرِضْوَانٍ خَيْرٌ أَم مَّنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَانَهُ عَلَىٰ شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَانْهَارَ بِهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ ۗ وَاللَّـهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ))
"Is he, therefore, better who lays his foundation on fear of Allah and (His) good pleasure, or he who lays his foundation on the edge of a cracking hollowed bank, so it broke down with him into the fire of hell; and Allah does not guide the unjust people." [TMQ al-Taubah: 109]

US Priest Pat Robertson: Islam 'Not A Religion':
Controversial conservative Christian Pat Robertson doubled down Tuesday on claims that Islam is not a religion. According to Right Wing Watch, Robertson, an elder statesman of the evangelical movement, made the inflammatory claim during an episode of his TV program, "The 700 Club." "Every time you look up - these are angry people, it's almost like it's demonic that is driving them to kill and to maim and to destroy and to blow themselves up," Robertson said of Islam. "It's a religion of chaos." He went on to say, "I hardly think to call it a religion, it's more of - well, it's an economic and political system with a religious veneer." This is hardly the first time Robertson has spoken out on Islam. Think Progress points to an incident, after Major Nidal Malik massacred his fellow soldiers in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, when Robertson claimed not only that Islam is "not a religion," but also that he sees it as "a violent political system bent on the overthrow of the governments of the world and world domination."
New Zealand Minister's Anti-Islam Statements:
A New Zealand politician has labelled young Muslim men a terrorist threat who should be banned from Western airlines, sparking condemnation from Prime Minister John Key on Tuesday. Richard Prosser, of the New Zealand First party, also labelled Islam a "stone age religion" in a magazine column, claiming that most terrorists were "angry young Muslim men who hate the West". "If you are a young male, aged between say about 19 and about 35, and you're a Muslim, or you look like a Muslim, or you come from a Muslim country, then you are not welcome to travel on any of the West's airlines," he wrote. He added: "I will not stand by while my daughters' rights and freedoms, and those of other New Zealanders and Westerners, are denigrated by a sorry pack of misogynist troglodytes from ‘Wogistan'." Key said Prosser's comments were "appalling", while the right-wing lawmaker's party leader, Winston Peters, rejected them as extreme and one-sided. "It's an extremist view on a very extremist issue, but you can't lump everyone in the same boat," Peters said. "Where's the side that says ‘I'm not talking about this group of people, the mass majority of Islamic people who are law-abiding and peaceful'?" Peters did not say if Prosser would face disciplinary action. Key said Prosser, who has previously called for the burqa to be banned, had deliberately set out to offend in the column for conservative current affairs magazine "Investigate". "It's stupid and it was premeditated because he wrote it in an opinion piece. It's clearly what New Zealand First Think of other New Zealanders," he told reporters. Former Labour Party politician Kelvin Davis responded to Prosser's remarks with a tweet paraphrasing Mark Twain: "Better to stay silent and have everyone think you're an idiot, than to open your mouth and confirm it."
Egypt closes Gaza Tunnels to hurt Palestinians and Strengthen the Jewish State:
Egyptian forces have flooded smuggling tunnels under the border with the Palestinian-ruled Gaza Strip in a campaign to shut them down, Egyptian and Palestinian officials said. The network of tunnels is a vital lifeline for Gaza, bringing in an estimated 30 percent of all goods that reach the enclave and circumventing a blockade imposed by Israel for more than seven years. Reuters reporters saw one tunnel being used to bring in cement and gravel suddenly fill with water on Sunday, sending workers rushing for safety. Locals said two other tunnels were likewise flooded, with Egyptians deliberately pumping in water. "The Egyptians have opened the water to drown the tunnels," said Abu Ghassan, who supervises the work of 30 men at one tunnel some 200 meters (yards) from the border fence. An Egyptian security official in the Sinai told Reuters the campaign started five days ago. "We are using water to close the tunnels by raising water from one of the wells," he said, declining to be named. Dozens of tunnels had been destroyed since last August following the killing of 16 Egyptian soldiers in a militant attack near the Gaza fence. Cairo said some of the gunmen had crossed into Egypt via the tunnels - a charge denied by Palestinians - and ordered an immediate crackdown. The move surprised and angered Gaza's rulers, the Islamist group Hamas, which had hoped for much better ties with Cairo following the election last year of Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi, an Islamist who is ideologically close to Hamas. A Hamas official confirmed Egypt was again targeting the tunnels. He gave no further details and declined to speculate on the timing of the move, which started while Palestinian faction leaders met in Cairo to try to overcome deep divisions.
Hundreds of UK Drones ‘Missing' in Iraq and Afghanistan:
Almost 450 drones operated by the British military have crashed, broken down or been lost in action during operations in Afghanistan and Iraq over the last five years, figures reveal. The Ministry of Defence has disclosed for the first time the five Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems used in the conflicts and the number that have perished due to pilot error, technical faults or the undesirability of retrieving them from hostile areas. The figures highlight the military's increasing reliance on technologies that are regarded as a way of minimising risks to frontline troops. Officials say the UAVs have operated for thousands of hours on sensitive operations. The UAV to suffer most is the Desert Hawk 3, a small hand-held UAV used by the army: 412 have crashed or been lost in the last five years. British forces have been using other mini-UAVs, the Black Hornet, and the Tarantula Hawk, in Afghanistan; 25 of them have perished during operations. The Black Hornet is the latest piece of UAV equipment to be deployed in the conflict. A mini-helicopter, it is equipped with a camera which gives troops video and still images. Soldiers use it to peer around corners or over walls and the images are displayed on a handheld terminal.
92% of Pakistanis Now Dislike America:
With President Barack Obama's first term characterized by strained relations between Pakistan and the U.S., more than nine in 10 Pakistanis (92%) disapprove of U.S. leadership and 4% approve, the lowest approval rating Pakistanis have ever given. These findings are based on a survey conducted from Sept. 30-Oct. 16, 2012, in Pakistan. The survey directly followed massive demonstrations against the release of an anti-Muslim film made in the U.S. Concurrently, Pakistanis now more than at any other time in the past three years feel threatened by interaction with the West, according to a May 12-June 6, 2012, survey. A majority (55%) say interaction between Muslim and Western societies is "more of a threat," up significantly from 39% in 2011. This sharp increase is observed at a time of heightened Pakistani concerns regarding U.S. encroachment on Pakistani sovereignty, including an intensified number of U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, as well as the aforementioned May 2011 killing of bin Laden by the United States military. 57% of Pakistanis aged 15 to 29 and 53% of those 30 or older -- deem interaction with the West as a threat. However, younger Pakistanis are slightly more likely to have an opinion on this matter: Fewer than one in 10 (9%) answered "don't know," whereas almost a fifth (17%) of older Pakistanis was unsure. Nearly half of the Pakistani population (49%) is between the ages of 15 and 29. The largely anti-Western sentiment among these young Pakistanis suggests that, even as this sizable group ages and begins to have a larger role in Pakistani governance, relations between the U.S. and Pakistan may continue to be fraught with challenges.

The Russian authorities have once again demonstrated their deceitful nature and ideological helplessness against the dawah carriers. It emerged in the subsequent sentences against the Shabab of Hizb ut Tahrir on 28 January 2013 in Moscow: Dusmatov Sharif Gulomovich was convicted under Part 1 Article 222 of the Criminal Code of a two-year sentence. January 31, 2013; Ashurov Saydulloh was convicted under Part 1 Article 222 and Part 1 Article 228 of the Criminal Code in the same place. A low sentence was given to the "terrorists" because of their alleged possession of weapons and drugs.
