Britain: A safe haven for traitors, terrorists and criminals!



UK TraitorsBritain has gained a notoriety of being safe haven for exiled, traitors, terrorists and dismissed or ousted political leaders?

By Sethi Mushtaq
Is Britain a safe haven for exiled, dismissed or ousted political leaders?
I have always been quite curious that whenever Political leaders or a dictator, be it a deposed President or Prime Minister, an insecure political party head or an ousted dictator is forced to leave his country he/she, always beelines straight for London ?. Most of them being from the South Asian countries.
What attracts them to choose this particular destination? Makes one wonder! Could it possibly be, Madame Tussaud famous wax museum or the London Bridge? The same one which we all seem to have been so brainwashed with during the school going day’s with repeated recitation of the old nursery rhyme attributed with it and which went as “London Bridge is falling down, falling down…..”No, I don’t think so. Then it could be the world famous cricket grounds or maybe the beauty and splendor of the Queens, Buckingham Castle. Whatever may be the appeal which draws them to England one thing is certain it attracts them like bees in search of sweet stuff or source!
The most strange and intriguing aspect of it all is, that they are always welcomed with open arms! They are given a free hand and facilitated to open their respective political offices, to carry out their political activities. Which at certain times could be deemed as interfering and attempting to disrupt within their respective country’s day to day smooth running and governing affairs? Most of these overseas activities are made possible through press conferences and public address via satellite tel-conferencing, to huge gatherings of their activist and sympathizers in their place of country.
In, a nutshell their respective shops do usual business within the safe haven of its Majesty’s, soil. Come to think of, on the contrary, I have yet to see a British or a European political leader heading to any other country even under extreme threat or fear of being executed etc. and operating against their respective country’s government in such manner and I am sure if it did happened they would immediately put up a formal protest to the host country for allowing to happen and or would go to the extent of seeking his or her extradition for a trial before their country’s court of law. Doesn’t this smack of maintaining double standards?
This makes me wonder then why Britain is so liberal in accommodating them gladly and with such greatest of ease and not those who are keen to travel to their country to attain higher educational or professional studies or business opportunities. The latter groups it is observed comparatively have to undergo a great amount of difficulties to clear many painful and cumbersome rules and procedures to get desired clearance to acquire a visa for entering her Majesty’s, Great Britain.
The way my layman brain perceives this is, that possibly, British intelligentsia or their ally’s find these political heavy weights presence in their country as most advantageous and beneficial for their own political aims or intelligence reasons to attain a easy access through them to gain in-depth knowledge and latest information pertaining to the developments taking place within those countries’, to whom these exiled or self-exiled leaders belong too ?. And if necessitated or required use the asylum leader’s links to promote their vested political agenda and interests there through their good sources!
I could be wrong in my perception to, maybe it is solely due to humane reasons!What do you think ?

Pakistan can never be Madina E Saani

By Nadeem Sajjad. Pakistan is a land loved by many and lived in by millions. It has been witnessed in the past --and somewhat in the present age – that the origin of the name (word) “Pakistan” has had many different accounts of its creators/inventors. Known to be the most accurate of all accounts, is the one of the much respected Chaudhry Rehmat Ali. Others have the concept that the word “Pakistan” was given to the Muslims of India, after the success of Lahore resolution in 1940, by the Hindus of the subcontinent and was then used by Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in his presidential address to the All India Muslim League annual session at Delhi on 24 April 1943. Whatever may be the origin, the Muslims got their own land to practice their religion Islam, and to maintain their traditions. The thing that should be emphasized upon is that the country was created in the name of Islam.  Knowing the origin is one thing, but naming the country or the name itself to something else an

Waging war on ourselves

BY  ETHAN CASEY A couple of years ago, giving a talk at a church in Seattle, I was conveying as best I could the anger Pakistanis feel toward the US about drone attacks, when a woman raised her hand and asked, “What’s a drone attack?” I give her credit for asking, but I was astounded nonetheless. Ever since then I’ve kept that woman in my mind, and often cited her to audiences, as an example of the ignorance of ordinary Americans about things that are happening – I should say things we’re doing to other people – beyond our shores. My mentor  Clyde Edwin Pettit  used to say that we’re all ignorant, only about different things. That can be a helpful working assumption when trying to achieve common understanding, but it’s also true that some of us are closer than others to the coal face of hard experience. For example, the novelist  John Grisham recently pointed out  that support for the death penalty is “still very much the consensus among white people in the South. Black people kno

Muslim Pages on Facebook | What Happened To You ???

I was prompted to highlight this issue because people were going crazy on the social media specially facebook over the blasphemous anti-Islamic film.  Yes, the film is blasphemous and the makers of the film should be punished because there is a clear difference between freedom of speech and hate speech. But the thing that I am going to highlight is the pictures that are being spread all over the facebook, for example have a look at this one: Translates : Hitler writes in his book My Struggle that "If I had wanted I could have killed all the jews of the world but I left a few for the world to know why I killed them" Now, the book My Struggle was published in 1924 and the Holocaust happened in 1930, how could Adolf Hitler wrote about Holocaust six years prior to its happening ? Take a look at this picture:  Does the maker of this photo even know that it was Hitler's holocaust that led the zionists accelerate their activities in getting a homeland ? N
