assalamo alaikum,

Shaitan-e-Kabeer:

It was reported (proposed) by the British newspaper "Gaurdian" on Dec
4 that USA is on the verge of including Pakistan in the list of the
nations sponsoring international terrorism.  This list has been
compiled by the state department and presently includes Syria, Iran,
Iraq, Libya, North Korea and Cuba.

The necessity for such an action arises from the following:

- Pakistan has failed to stop and roll back its nuclear program as
demanded by USA.

- Pakistan has failed to stop helping freedom fighters in Kashmir
(terrorists in the eyes of USA).

- Pakistan has failed to recover shoulder mounted anti-aircraft Stinger
missiles from Afghn Mujahideen, which America fears might end up in
the hands of millitant Islamic resistance movements worldwide.

The case of Pakistan is typical but such `kind' treatment is not
restricted to one particular nation alone, as one can see, there are
four Muslim countries in the above list.  In fact, the salient features
of American policy towards Muslim countries are the following:

- Any thoughts of Islam as a system are criminal.  Such people are
`fundementalists' who do not deserve to live but in prisons.
Nationalism, communism or any such `ism' is a healthy sign.

- Democracy in Muslim countries is not a right but can be supported
only if it can prevent the Islamic fundementalists from coming to
power.  Otherwise ruthless and tyrant rulers must be made to stay in
power.  Any sincere Muslim leader with a vision must be eliminated
from the scene.

- Muslim countries do not need things like industrialization or
infra-structure.  We will take care of your `genuine' needs.

- Defence is not the responsibility of Muslim countries, we will defend
your country (and our ideology) for you.

- Muslim countries in Middle East are vital suppliers of natural
resources and they must stay like that.  Any money earned by them in
the process must be made available to strengthen economy in the Western
countries.

- Self sufficiency in food is unthinkable.  We have enough food reserves
for you and will feed you as long us you play our tune.

- Muslim nations can enjoy their token soveregnity, however, they must
not talk of economic freedom.  Their economic slavery to the Western
institutions must prevail at all costs.

- Political stability is a crime.  Enough critical problems must persist
in Muslim lands to hinder any development there.  In order to thrust a
psuedo-solution on them, the problem must first be created.

It needs the vision of a true Muslim to see the face of enemy
behind the thick veil of deception.  Khomeini was about the only
`Muslim' leader after Malik-al-Faisal who really understood the game
played by America (and its allies) in Muslim lands, and therefore called
it `Shaitan Kabeer'.
