A Harsh Truth About MOI's Border Police In Goshta, Ningarhar

As Heavy clashes were reported between Afghan and Pakistani security forces in Goshta district of eastern Nangarhar province on Wednesday evening according to report in Khaama

http://www.khaama.com/heavy-clashes-between-afghan-and-pakistani-troops-in-goshta-2366

A Very Disappointing Hearing from last nights Tolo News program
 
Few of MPs who personally visited the Goshta Area in Ningarhar which is 120km away from Afghan-Pak Torkham Border and told their stories over the situation of Afghan Border Police in that Area
as well as they  documented their evidence with interviews and video of the heroic soldiers whom engaged in combat for the rest of Afghanistan taking back the newly built checkpoints by Pakistani  Troops.
Due to having corrupted Generals and Senior Officer
Some of them did not even had boots and were fighting bare footed
They were hungry and didn't even received proper care that is given to every soldier from its government and

if they complain about their situation they are kicked out of the force immediately.


Isn't this a national betrayal ?

In such a tense situation when every Afghan will be counting on their border Army protecting it from foreign intruders we hear our army being in such situation and treated very badly 
 
Secretary Of Interior should take serious and immediate actions at this point where Pakistan at full scale wants to dominate Afghanistan through their proxy and border cross firings  but
having a team of dedicated and sincere advisers minister of the interior should have already handled the situation or should have taken serious actions when

1. thousands of tons of building materials, Pakistani bulldozers were transferred in our border area and were building those checkpoints


2. When Paki Army were building Helicopter landing sites in the area
 
3. When Paki army transferred their tanks and artillery creating bunkers in the border area 

4. When thousands of trucks filled with Steel rods were used in the border area
 
with all this happening in our Borders I ask from my All of Mujahedin Officials & Commanders whom are known as Brave and Courageous with respect to their Predecessors and had War Experience Against the  Russians and Taliban Invasions
"WHERE WERE YOU PEOPLE WHEN PAKISTAN WAS PREPARING TO ATTACK AFGHANISTAN'S SOIL ?"

My Concerns Over Afghanistan-Pakistan Trade Relation

I Wont Go Brief On This One But I Will Only Point Out One Main and A Vast Barrier Between Our Trade With Pakistan

I just want to highlight the fact that Pakistan has accused Kabul many times for not having the ground capacity ( roads and highways ) for Truckers to pass



If Pakistan itself is Treating Balochistan or Kyber Pakhtonkhwa as their step brother and they are not working on the road. Well i have traveled all the way from Lahore, Peshawar to Kabul and i have seen the worst situation of the roads from Peshawar to Torkham but as there is a beautiful Motorway from Punjab To Peshawar same is across the border from Torkham to Kabul. To me as i see the Pakistani Government itself is not interested in building the khyber pukhtonkhwa or Balochistan ( avoiding Waziristan for some reasons ). They are just the provinces that border with Afghanistan if there is not enough development inside khyber pukhtonkhwa or balochistan so how can Afghanistan benefit from Pakistan ?

Afghan Government Officials Figured Out The Best Way To Get Away With $300 Million Over Launching Space Satellite Hoax

Feb 2013 - Kabul, Afghanistan.

Do we belong in this country or not or is it too much to ask ? 

Right now i am typing this article on my laptop sitting in a dark and cold room of my apartment in capital city Kabul. I migrated from Peshawar, Pakistan and i already feel like living as a refugee in my own ancestors city Kabul and my own unfortunate country Afghanistan.

Living With the high tensions of 2014 crisis and civil war between Pushton, Hazara, Tajik, Uzbek and much of the country still in control of the Taliban. it's very much hilarious when we read news that Afghanistan will launch a space satellite in 3 years. As The Council of Corrupted Ministers and Corrupted MPs last week approved the launch of Afghanistan's first ever space satellite and sent expressions of interest to many international companies to attract funding. It's obvious that the news was reported by Tolo News since its the only network in entire Afghanistan to publish promises by Afghan Government Officials.

CLICK HERE TO READ THE REPORT ON TOLO's WEBSITE

Lie # 1:

As most the report was about Minister Of Communication and Information Technology Amir Zai Sangin's press conference.

He said that the budget for the project is expected to be between $200 million and $300 million, with a two- to three-year time frame for its design and construction until its launch.

but in another paragraph its mentioned that 

The building of Afghanistan's first ever space satellite will be underway within the next six months, according to Afghanistan's Minister of Communication and Information Technology Amir Zai Sangin.


Okey lets face it - report was published on Sunday, 08 April 2012 but and now it's 09 Feburary 2013 - 11 Months Passed and the design and construction of the satellite hasn't started yet.

Lie # 2:

According sources from NASA i just found out that cost of building a Tracking, Monitoring and Communication Space Satellite is accurate as said by Minister Amir Zai Sangin which is from $250 - $300 Million but it's only the cost of its Design and Construction

A space sattelite will need to be launched into the deep space

                           - Mr Amir Zai Sangin won't fly it like a kite to send it to space -

Another factor that contributes to the expense associated with satellites is the cost of putting one into orbit. It is estimated that a single satellite launch can range in cost from a low of about $50 million to a high of about $400 million. Launching a space shuttle mission can easily cost $500 million dollars, although one mission is capable of carrying multiple satellites and send them into orbit.

We are talking about 2 times expense of launching a sattelite into space so i hope our friendly allies america whom invaded our country will give donations for the fancy dandy design of sattelite as well as the expense of launching it into space or let them launch it for us with the help of NASA

but hey Wait - if we give our space sattelite to NASA, America can easily attach their own spying transponders in our sattelite and can control and trace any on-going communication signals or transmissions through their spy transponders or lets say that America will own Afghanistan's Sattelite
Afghanistan cannot afford to pay for this Satellite on its own. I don't know why Afghans here are jumping up and down. As if we will either pay or develop or even control this Satellite.
What this announcement really is the Afghan government will most likely give the orbit Afghanistan owns to some US defence company. So they can flood every nook and cranny of Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan with Western TV Channels.
But also importantly give the CIA greater Satellite access and surveliance over the region.
This Afghan minister Sangin responsible to give the orbit away in tender will probably run away with a massive bribe......
Sorry I will not be fooled so easily

Lie # 3:

Mr Sangin said that

"Afghanistan pays around $100 million each year to provide communication services."

While in another report from Ministry Of Communication and Information Technology Website CLICK HERE 

.... because of the recent development of the fiber optics network in Afghanistan, the price of one MB has been reduced to $1500

but hey 

Some of the factors that drive the cost of satellites are the equipment and materials used to build them. Transponders alone hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to maintain, while bandwidth cost per MHz is priced at a minimum of about $3,500 a month. Running a satellite at a 36MHz bandwidth will cost over $1.5 million per month. There are also the other gadgets and equipment that have to be built into the satellite in order for it to perform its intended function. These can include computers, computer software and cameras.

Also to be considered in the cost of satellites is its maintenance. After getting one into orbit, it has to be monitored from a ground facility, which will require manpower. Satellites are also not impervious to damage or down times. Furthermore, if things don’t go too well during a launch, a multi-million endeavor can either end up in pieces or sustain damages that will cost more money to repair.

BASICALLY IT'S A RISK OF NOT JUST $200 - $300 MILLION BUT MORE THAN THAT 

While a simple Dam which is a fucking basic right in a poor country in Afghanistan to have will cost $10 million and a hydroelectric dam will cost twice of that estimated price from a simple dam but still cheaper than $300 million space satellite.

Although Poor People of Afghanistan probably won't even see the benefits of all those money because in 2014 it's obvious that all that money will go in private pockets and transferred in banks of different countries by War Mongers and War Lords whom are playing the same looting games since 2001 till now. 

and By The Way Mr Amir Zai Sangin
Before designing a satellite learn how to pronounce it , it's not SAATEY-LITE 

Karzai's Security Escorts

People Of Afghanistan are paying price of every actions these leaders take, even their security escorts create barriers for the Afghan to live their ordinary lives

Feb. 2 Kabul, Afghanistan Afghan President Hamid Karzai and other high level government officials are traveling to London for talks with British and Pakistani officials also participating in a trilateral summit with Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and British Prime Minister David Cameron

On such a harsh winter and snowy day combination of ANA (Afghan National Army), ANP (Afghan National Police), and NDS (National Directorate Of Security) were seen everywhere around the Airport Road Of Kabul and other locations. while normal citizens are fighting to survive and earn money to spend the winters. 

It was 12 am as all roads around Kabul Airport and Masood Square were blocked by security forces even citizens weren't allowed to walk their way on footpaths.As seen in the photo most of them were equipped with RPGs and Machine guns that horrified Afghan Citizens around the vicinity.

Until it was 1:30pm and horrified Afghan citizens waiting for the blocks to be removed when 12 SUVs passed by with horrifying horns even louder than Ambulance with speed more than 120mph.

People of Afghanistan especially Kabul whom already fed up from violence in their life are now tired with these security escorts either of Government Officials or US and other International.

Suicide Bombers Strike Afghanistan's Spy Agency In Capital Kabul

January 16, 2013 Kabul, Afghanistan

Do we belong here or do we not? 

It doesn't matter how you would answer that because we are here. 

We're tired, and we can't see the end. 

We can't even console ourselves that our enemy is just as tired as we are. Because they're not.

It is a fallacy that prolonged war will weaken an occupied enemy. 

It most likely will make your enemy stronger.

As the result on another try of Afghan government officials met with representatives of the Taliban and another rebel group at an undisclosed venue near Paris on Thursday for two days of secretive talks aimed at ending the conflict in Afghanistan.

The meeting comes as France is pulling its last combat troops from Afghanistan – well ahead of NATO’s 2014 target date for withdrawal but unfortunately they fell out of the tree into the frying pan and into another complex and another never ending war with Mali which is fully occupied by Al Qaeda 

Back in Afghanistan With much of the country still prey to fighting, Afghan President Hamid Karzai has stepped up attempts to persuade the Taliban to end the violence and join the political reconciliation.

As Today Wednesday, January 16, 2013 while people were enjoying the cold breeze of winter and breathing the clean and fresh and air of Kabul. And jobless poor’s struggling for earning money for their family.  

Today we got the result of all those secretive political talks as A suicide attacker drove a bomb-laden mini bus and detonated in front of the NDS office near to the Interior Ministry which was always packed with people who come to collect passports and national identity cards at the interior ministry.

The target was an old dusty building protected with forged steel barricades and thick concrete wall and didn’t had much of guards to protect it and was always kept on a low profile than other government buildings around its vicinity. It was an Afghan Intelligence unit which held and prisoned suicide bombers and high profile Taliban commanders to be interrogated.        

Explosion took place around 12am and citizens around the vicinity witnessed 5 insurgents with semi-automatic weapons and hand grenades killing 2 guards and caught up with other forces trying to get inside the NDS office. Firefight took 15 minutes and all insurgents were killed and area was secure as the result more than 30 people including NDS guards and local killed and injured.

Lots of book and stationary shops in the area was damaged because of the explosion. And breaking glass also injured most of the locals in the area that was not reported.     

Taliban got used to the deprivation, and they adapt and respond accordingly. While here in Kabul with every death reported we have to deal with a public-opinion trajectory that slides rapidly from supportive to negative to downright hostile. People just get sick and tired of a moment's silence at a ball game.

They just want to be told that it's over

What I am trying to make understand is that these people, they do not want to negotiate.

Not at all.

They want the universal caliphate established across the face of the Earth joining the Al-Qaeda, Haqqani and Other International terrorist groups and they want every infidel converted or dead using the name of Islam and misleading the teachings of god to their new recruitments

So, what's changed is that our allegedly unsophisticated enemy has cottoned on to the factually unsophisticated truth... 

WE ARE AN EASY TARGET.

We are an easy target and our world as we know it is a lot simpler to put to an end than we might think.

And the only way to defeat this kind of enemy is to find the real architects who created the infrastructure for the terrorist in every Muslim nations  wearing the mask of their peace defenders and regularly supporting them 

Pride Of The Prouds ( Terrorists )

THE REAL WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION

The Antonov Kalashnikova

 

Model of 1947 more commonly known as the AK47 or Kalashnikov

The world’s most popular assault rifle, a weapon all fighters love. Simple 9pound rifles, elegantly being combination of forge steals and ply wood. It doesn’t break, jam or overheat. It will shoot whether it’s covered in mud or filled with snow and sand. It’s so easy even a child can use and they do

Because a bullet from 14 year Old is just as effective as one from a 40 year old

The soviet put the gun on their coin. Mozambique put it on their flag and since the end of the cold war the Kalashnikov has become the soviet’s and gun runner’s greatest export

The AK47 is used by more than 50 armies around the globe and was always being loved by the Salvation Army, Terrorists and Rebel Forces because the war mongers don’t want them handed expensive Israeli made Uzi and American M16 or their own country made weapons

After the cold war AK47 was aggressively used in Iran, Iraq, & Afghanistan war because the gun merchants sold high stocks of AK47 to both sides and both countries lost their freedom.



The primary market of AK47 is Africa, 11 Major conflicts involving 32 countries in less than a decade. There was a white war of what left from It, Africa was originally established as a homeland of free American slaves is being slaved by one dictator or another ever since. The country is flooded with AK47 that even in some parts of the Africa an AK47 can be bought in the price of a chicken.

Now in the 20th Century AK47 is recognized for having the power to change governments, and leaders of the Muslim world than the power of votes

It is a surprising fact of modern warfare that the greatest weapon of mass destruction is one of the smallest. AK-47 has been responsible for more deaths than any other weapon in history. It is no surprise that it has become a potent symbol of conflict culture.

The Status of Women in the Western World

Humanity's affliction and the cause of its tragedy under the modern materialistic culture stems from the crisis of thought, the ideological loss, together with confused concepts and ideas, which impose weird attitudes, limiting outlook toward things around and rigidly defining fellowmen and society in an absurd manner.

If a researcher or an analyst casts a passing glance at the nature and appearance of the social, economic and psychological conditions in the contemporary ignorant materialistic culture, he will immediately recognize the tragic pictures of human sufferings, injustice, suppression, loss and deprivation in this complex civilization.

By tracing the origin of these social, psychological and intellectual catastrophes to their historical roots, one may realize that these are strongly linked to the superstitious attitudes of the history of ignorance on this planet. 

They draw a sketch whose lines passing across the dimension of the times of ignorance and cutting through the vacuum of the contemporary period, form the biggest circle of mankind's cultural confusion and loss, both mentally and spiritually.

They illustrate a disfigured image whose inborn nature has been polluted, and whose life has deviated from the law of human nature and the path of righteousness and justice.
The figure emerges of a confused personality, devoid of any humanistic values and concepts and unable to cultivate or express its true identity and its sound innate self.

From these concepts of distorted values and relations, stemming from the depths of the history of ignorance and pouring into the basin of the modern materialistic culture, the deviated theories about man.
woman, sex, family life, social relations, etc. have been formed.

The history of these concepts, values and relations presents a tragic picture of humanity and its brutal behavior that offends the very law of life, contrary to man's innate nature, miserably degrading the woman to a position which does not suit her natural self and upsets the social balance and the equation of man-woman relations.

Woman, thus, is greatly suffering from the misery of the modern society, being maltreated by man and inhumane social laws. This has been ever so since the primitive times up to the present modern materialistic civilization. These man-made laws and cultures have always viewed woman as a commercial commodity in life, a means of pleasure, a prisoner who has no freedom and a creature who enjoys no human merits that have been bestowed on man. Actually, she is considered a source of evil in this world, a cause of sin, and a filth from which one needs to purify oneself.

Historically speaking, woman has been exploited. In the past civilizations like that of the Greeks and the Romans, she was deprived of her civil rights and was subjected to maltreatment by her father, brothers and her husband who only regarded her as a heavy burden, a means of pleasure or a slave to toil.


Women in the Modern Materialistic Culture

Thus, it was natural the growth of the European modern materialistic culture to react and reject these savage, mythical and backward Jewish and Christian concepts which for centuries had ruled the thoughts of peoples of Europe, America and other places.
So, naturally, these misconstrued theories about sex and woman, and her relationship to man, life and civilization, fell to pieces and materialistic Europe consequently had to formulate its own theories to fill the resulting vacuum. It based them on the Greek and Roman cultural heritage on one hand, and the result of a counter-action against woman's tragic position under the inherited concepts, laws and values of distorted Judaism and Christianity, on the other. But sadly, this modern theory, though calling for the destruction of those false mythical concepts, and voicing the slogan of liberty and woman's emancipation, actually fell a prey to its own pleasure-seeking
conscience.

This materialistic concept of pleasure, sex, enjoyment and instinctive pursuits, advocated by the modern European culture distorted woman's status, the concept of sex and the relationship among man, woman and life, causing more harm than the fossil ecclesiastic concepts and the remnants of Jewish thought. Under this modern culture, the woman was dipped deeper into the filth of degradation, and the claws of social tragedy tightened closer around her neck. This trend did not give her any chance to get out of the calamity of contempt, servitude and the state of despising her own humanity, and she plunged herself into the anarchy of wanton enjoyment, loss of values and the pains of family and psychological sufferings, imposed upon her by this sick and decaying culture. In a way, as if trying to escape from the frying pan she fell into the fire itself.

Thus, by analyzing the status of woman in Europe, America, Japan, Russia and other parts of the world affected by this materialistic current, one sees tragic and painful results. At the same time, we realize that the civilization of this ignorant man is finally going to collapse, as its caravan stumbles on rock upon rock while passing through the deserts of loss and stray.

 We recognize it to be a repetition of what had been experienced by the past ignorant nations, whose misery has been described by the Qur'an:

"Like those before you were mightier than you in strength, and more affluent that in wealth and children. So they enjoyed their portion, thus have you enjoyed your portion as those before you did enjoy their portion. And you entered into vain discourses like the vain discourses in which those before you entered. These are they whose works are null in this world and the hereafter. These are they who are the losers." The Holy Qur'an (9: 69)

Despite the claims of this culture about woman's emancipation, rights and equality, the problems of woman, sex and her relationship with man and society have become more complex and dangerous, threatening the happiness of not the family alone but the society as a whole.

Actually, such claims have become the cause of woman's misery, destroying her human nature. Figures and statistics come out everyday with terrifying and painful facts, warning of an incoming destruction, that forces the contemporary man to reconsider his understandings and concepts about sex, man, woman and social relations.
In order to place before the reader a testimony a testimony backed by statistics and figures obtained from relevant studies, here are some examples that speak of the terrible pictures of loss and tragedy under the modern materialistic culture, concerning family problems, such as divorce, adultery, illegitimate children and the misery of the family life of the contemporary man and woman.

" Al-Qabas" newspaper in its issue of 11-7-1979, reported that: 12713 housewives had fled their houses during the year before in Japan, on and average of 35 housewives a day. The Japanese Police disclosed these figures on Mother's Day, as a result of demands by children and husbands looking for their absconding mothers and housewives. Most of those disappearances were caused by family disputes, cruelty of husbands and the like, the police said.

The number of housewives who elope with other men, deserting their husbands and children, is on the increase. The police also added that 400 housewives deserted their homes because of debts."

Dr. Homer, a Swede, when asked by the United Nations to study the status of women in Arab countries in 1975, announced: "It is the Swedish woman who should demand her freedom, as the woman in the Arab countries has already reached the peak of her freedom under Islam".

She added "the Swedish woman tries these days to have this year announced as `The International Year of the Woman', and then declare another year for the man, so that he may extract his rights from the woman."


Dr. Homer continues in her report: "25% of Swedish women suffer from psychological and nervous sicknesses, and 40% of Sweden's income is spent on these diseases caused by the so-called freedom which the Swedish woman attained and which she is practicing. In fact the tragedy of the Swedish edge of such a terrifying and perilous precipice."
Premarital pregnancies are at epidemic proportion in the U.S. where adultery runs rampant. Homosexual and bisexual men and women often openly express their sexual preferences.

With unwanted pregnancy comes the moral question of abortion – taking the life of an unborn child.

Immorality in the West

A recent study reported by Associated Press showed: Four out of every five single American women in their 20s have had sex. One in three had lived with a man out of wedlock. One third of all these women had been pregnant at least once, and 40% of those who became pregnant had an abortion."

Those statistics seem to be symptomatic of the nation if not most of the Western World.
Husbands and wives are too often unfaithful to their marriage vows.
Children learn this lack of values from parents and the cycle is perpetuated. So once again we are faced with another problem unsolvable at the human level.


In another report disclosing the human tragedy under the materialistic culture, the American Association for Family Services says: the disintegration of the family, which has reached an epidemic stage, tops the list of social problems. Every year more than one million persons are separated of divorced, which is seven fold higher in percentage compared with that of a century ago.

Another report says: The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
reports that in murder cases within families, the husbands are mostly the murderers of their wives; and in 15% of family crimes the children are the victims of their parents.
According to recent statistics released by UNESCO, 60% of the housewives in the U.S.A. and Europe feel discontented, disappointed, and miserable.
In the U.S. 6,500 people are divorced each day, in other words well over a million each year.

Recent surveys show that between 21 and 43 percent of married women in U.S. have committed adultery.

Juvenile crime and violence has increased since World War II in the U.S. In 1950 1 out of 8 serious crimes were committed by youths under 18 years but in recent years the figures has soared to 2 out of every 8. Youth suicide is on the increase, children are neglected.
Between 1900 and 1985 in the U.S., the divorce rate increased by 70%.


Today one out of every 3 marriages (1 out of 2 in many large cities)
ends in divorce or separation. Illegitimate births among certain segments of society is over 50%.

The West and other non-Islamic societies continue to produce illegitimate children in great proportions. Wife-beating, run away children, parent beating, child abuse, broken marriages are rampant in such societies.
The October 1985 issue of Woman's World has disclosed the following startling facts which prove the decadence of non-Muslim societies:
One in every 6 children born in U.K. in 1984 was illegitimate.

- A poll conducted for woman married 5 to 15 years showed that 2 out of 5 women admitted having an extra-marital affair.

- A poll at a high school for girls showed that three quarters of the girls did not want to marry at all and preferred sex without marriage.

- The number of this year, compared to the same period last year. The Home Office disclosed that a total of 780 rapes occurred in England and Wales alone, compared to the official figure of 613 in the first half of 1984.

- According to a leading psychologist of the National Children's Home,
one in every 5 British children suffers from sexual or physical abuse.
Blaming the epidemic on the breakdown of family life, he said that the children were abused by their step-fathers or their mother's live-in lovers.

- A national survey conducted by an educational psychologist indicated that as many as 1 in every 10 adults in the U.K. were sexually abused during childhood.
Still another report says: "Nine out of 12 girls in Britain are subjected to rape and kidnapping."

The British News Agency `Reuter' in its dispatch of December, 3 1985,said an average of 4 children a week are killed in Britain by their parents or guardians, according to the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC). Saying that the problem is far more serious than anyone realizes, a spokesman for the NSPCC disclosed the horrible figure of 200 children dying each year from parental abuse and besides every two weeks a child is slain in Britain by strangers or other relatives.


Council registers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland were found to list a total of 30,000 child victims of abuse, representing an increase of more than 5,000 new cases discovered in the past two
years.

The figures were revealed by Brian Roycroft, leader of the Association of Social Service Directors at a judicial inquiry into child abuse in Cleveland, Northern England. He said that the rise was even higher that 22 percent in some areas and described the situation in Cleveland as "alarming." the numbers showed significant increases in regions where separate statistics were kept for sexual offences against children, he pointed out.

The breakdown of family stability in Britain which has dramatically increased the numbers of unmarried mothers, of unmarried people living together and people living alone, is much to blame for these social ills.

According to new figures published by the U.K. Government on Jan. 14,1988 the percentage of illegitimate births has soared from 4 percent in the 1950s to 21 percent of all births in 1986. Only Denmark with 43 percent has a higher rate in Europe.

The statistics of social trends confirm that Britain has the highest divorce rate in Europe and nearly twice the rate in France and West Germany.


Between 1979 and 1985, it was found that the proportion of people cohabiting without marriage nearly doubled. Some 15 percent of all single women between the age of 18 and 49, and including many divorced, were illicitly cohabiting in 1985.

The breakdown in family life has also seen a rapid rise in people living alone. Nearly 25 percent of all households contained only one person in 1986 compared with an average 10 persons in 1951.

The way the woman is treated in the western countries who claim to be the champions of freedom and equality is evident from the International Meeting on Women and Mass Media held at Athens, Greece, November 20. 1985.

One of the participants, Petra Kelly, a member of the West German Parliament bitterly complained. "In Germany they treat us like a minority, equal to invalids, the lower strata of society and like children. They portray us pornographically and consider using violence against us as natural. Every 15 minutes one woman is a victim of rape."

The Meet urged the Greek Parliament to pass a law banning exploitation of women on the TV. Though criticisms of the exploitation of women is fully justified, the women of these so called advanced countries are themselves to be blamed. If women did not consent there will be no pornographic publications, sex films and nude advertisements.


Turning to the east, we find the decadence of society, in the communist world equally shocking. The Magazine, `Interphase' in its
April 1977 issue reports:

"The grave problem of the Soviet communist society is that, out of every two marriages one ends in divorce in most parts of Western Russia. In Moscow, for example, nearly 49% of the marriages ended in divorce, after the birth of the first child. In the Mavadansk region the percentage of divorce is as high as 72.9 percent. The Physicians'
Conference held at Moscow University in 1975 called for urgent measures to tackle this grave social problem, concerning the high divorce rate and the low birth rate..." *5 It is evident from the report that according to the latest statistics. the number of Muslims in the Soviet Union have been increasing at a rate much higher than the usual population growth,

while, at the same time the birth rate in non-Islamic regions of the Soviet Union is falling lower, a fact which is worrying the Russians.
The reports and statistics confirm that all attempts to separate the Muslims from Islam have come to naught, and that the Islamic spirit has shown unprecedented growth, and the underground Islamic movements have started to grow and spread out.


The demonstrations held in the streets of Baku, the capital of Soviet Azerbaijan, after the triumph of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, are a proof of the Islamic resurgence in Soviet Union, as also the sympathy shown for Afghan Mujahidin fighting against the Russian-imposed communist regime in Kabul. Moreover there have been frequent reports of desertion by Muslim soldiers from the occupying Soviet army in Afghanistan.

*. It is worth noting that the said family problems are confined to the non-Islamic regions of the former Soviet Union. Despite communism’s suppression of Islamic teachings in the Muslim lands under the Russians, Islam still exercises its influence on the life and social conducts of the Muslims there, reducing family instability and the exploitation of women.

It is possible that this increase in the Muslim population was responsible for the recent principal amendment of the Soviet Constitution which formerly allowed the so-called autonomous Republics under Russian colonial control to withdraw from the Union on the basis of self-government. The Soviets fear that the Muslims in the Soviet Union may become a majority by the end of this century.

Thus, by analyzing the above facts, we discover the significance of the political and social connections in the Islamic system which exercise a deep influence on the life of Muslims. We also realize the importance of the Islamic family system in positively effecting the lives of the Muslims, even if it is not strictly adhered to.
The following statistics reveal how alarming the family breakdown epidemic has become in non-Muslim societies:

FRANCE:
One in four marriages ends in divorce; in cities the rate may be 50 percent. Each year 600,000 couples marry, 100,000 choose to live together without marriage and 100,000 divorce.

CANADA:

Sexual Relations in the West

Going back to the analysis and evaluation of the sexual relations,
and woman's status and position under the European materialistic culture, we realize that not only did it ruin society and family life through divorce, illegitimate children, abortion, rape, misery,
frustration, increase of juvenile delinquency…etc., but actually this evil plague even affected physical health of both man and woman, because of the disordered, abnormal and beastly sexual
relations practiced by both sexes, under the patronage of this declining culture of ignorance.
Reports of physicians, health institutes and other relevant statistics testify what has been said, and give warning signs.

Below are some examples:

Dr. Lirbete, a French physician, reports that, "In France 100,000 people die every year from diverse venereal diseases as a result of adultery.
Abul A'la la-Mawdudi, in his book "Al-Hijab" (The Veil) writes, "...It is estimated that 90% of the US population are afflicted with venereal diseases."
The Encyclopedia Britannica mentions that in 650 government hospitals in U.K. 100,000 patients are treated for syphilis and another 160,000 for gonorrhea.

But the figures fade into insignificance, when compared with the private clinics who treat and estimated 61% syphilis patients and 89% gonorrhea! it adds.
Furthermore, some 30 to 40 thousand children in the U.S. die from inherited venereal diseases every year. Reliable sources say that at least 60% of the youth population, irrespective of singles or married are afflicted with gonorrhea. Venereologists stress that 75% of women that undergo venereal operation are found to be infected with venereal diseases.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated there are between 30 million and 50 million cases of venereal syphilis in the world and more than 150 million cases of gonorrhea infection. Director-general of the WHO, Halfdon Mahler, estimates there may be 10 million carriers of the AIDS virus in the world's population.

During the 1960s gonococcus organisms because increasingly drug resistant. Then during the 1970s genital herpes swiftly cut through the sexually permissive.
But the most infectious sexual disease threatening the very foundations of Western society is the recently discovered disease called AIDS*, which is forcing people to reconsider man, woman and sexual relations. It is spreading like wild fire especially in the U.S.
where millions are believed to be afflicted. No cure has yet been found for this dangerous disease, the result of promiscuity and homosexuality. The victim after loosing all bodily resistance dies
miserable lingering death.

In the West in the 1980s, AIDS, caused by the HTLV-3 virus, swept first through homosexual ranks. It was then spread by bisexuals to heterosexuals, who in turn spread it to their mates or partners.

W.H.O. has recorded 73,747 cases of AIDS but at least twice this number is thought to be more accurate and that up to 10 million may be infected by the virus, which can take up top five years to develop.

The worst affected is the United States which has 49,700 cases with other hard-hit countries well behind with France reporting 2,500 cases, Uganda and Brazil with 2,300 each, Tanzania with 1,600, West Germany 1,500, Canada 1,400 and Britain 1,200.
An analysis of the British figures shows that the overwhelming majority of cases, 1,032, are among homosexual and bisexual males and from which 577 have died. Most of the other sufferers have contracted the disease as blood recipients or through sharing infected needles.

The epidemic has caused a reversal of opinion about homosexuality in Britain, which was legalized among consenting adults over 20 years ago.
In a poll by Harris for Britain's commercial television channel in 1987, 43 percent were now found to disapprove the law while in 1985 only 27 percent had said that they disagreed with the unnatural law.

The number of people suffering from AIDS disease has more than doubled in Britain during the past year, according to figures released by the Health Department in January 1988.
The figures show that at least five people everyday are becoming infected with the fatal virus and each day someone is dying of it.
The Health Department recorded 32 sufferers dying from AIDS last month, bringing the total of deaths to 679 out of a total of 1,227 known cases.

A total of 8,016 people are registered as HIV-positive carriers - an increase of 459 in the past three months - but the real extent of the epidemic is unknown.
Some researchers believe that the true total of infected people could be at least 50,000, with the overwhelming majority unaware because of the years it takes in some cases, if at all, to develop the disease.

The figures confirm that AIDS is still a disease virtually confined to homosexuals, where 84 percent of all cases are said to be homosexual and bisexual men.
That is a brief account of woman's relations with man, and of family life under these materialistic non-Islamic cultures, especially the modern European culture, which has been driven to sexuality and wantonness, justifying the resulting chaos through absurd philosophization and sciences as claimed by their theorists, such as Freud who explained man's human activity as entirely caused by sexual motives. He considered human conduct, human civilization and all innovations, tragedies, excitement and frustration, merely to be different aspects of man's sexual instincts.

In his researches on diseases and psychological sickness, he attributed them to sexual restraint, and demanded sexual freedom as the only way to get rid of sexual repression and ailment.

But the scientific facts, statistics and figures recorded by the concerned institutes, physicians' clinics and sanatoriums all confirm that man's psychological crisis is aggravated, and the venereal diseases are spreading more and more as the sexual liberties are increasing.

According to the materialistic philosophy, in which the modern ignorant culture believes, all sorts of sexual practices and expressions are regarded lawful, however abnormal and deviated they may be.

Thus, these ignorant materialistic cultures, with their absurd and unnatural philosophies, theories and practices in respect to woman and sex, have come to a calamitous stage seriously undermining their civilization and way of life.
