Rumsfeld a "perpetrator of genocide in Iraq and Afghanistan, a war criminal, enemy of mankind and Allah"

In a statement Wednesday, Bangladesh Khelafat Andolon, an Islamic group, called Rumsfeld a "perpetrator of genocide in Iraq and Afghanistan, a war criminal, enemy of mankind and Allah" and urged Bangladeshis to rally against the visit, Associated Press reported.

The Communist Party of Bangladesh said Rumsfeld "is visiting Bangladesh to force us to involve our troops in American-led barbarism and aggression in Iraq."


The Los Angeles Times - U.S. to Lobby Asia Allies for More Support
June 4, 2004
By John Hendren
Times Staff Writer

SINGAPORE — Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld arrived here Thursday to seek greater cooperation from Asian nations in the U.S.-declared war on terrorism. But he planned to soft-pedal a controversial and still embryonic proposal to better protect the Strait of Malacca, through which half of the world's oil supply is shipped.

Rumsfeld will spend today and Saturday at the 2004 Shangri-La Dialogue security conference here, amid continued fears among intelligence officials that the Al Qaeda terrorist network and its ally Jemaah Islamiah are plotting to destabilize the world's oil supply by targeting the strait, as well as Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

Singapore was publicly drawn into the global anti-terrorism effort several months after the Sept. 11 attacks when more than a dozen alleged terrorists were arrested there for what authorities called a plot to bomb the U.S. Embassy and its key commercial interests.

Intelligence collected in the case suggested that terrorists had plans to target ships in "kill zones" in the narrowest portions of the strait, Singaporean officials said. The waterway is a key route for ships traveling from the Middle East to the Pacific Ocean and beyond. A quarter of the world's commerce is shipped through the strait.

The U.S. has been developing a plan to protect the strait for fear that the waterway may be the target of an attack similar to one in October 2000 on the Navy destroyer Cole in Yemen, which cost the lives of 17 sailors, and the bombing of the French tanker Limburg off the Yemeni coast two years later.

Word of the American plan roiled a region proud of its independence after nearly a century and a half of British colonial rule, raising the specter of a new superpower extending its hegemony into the waters that separate Malaysia and the island of Singapore from the world's most-populous Muslim nation, Indonesia.

In March, Adm. Thomas Fargo, head of the U.S. Pacific Command, described on Capitol Hill what defense officials say was an initiative in early consideration to work with South East Asian nations to protect the strait. Although Singapore welcomed the initiative, which included mutual intelligence gathering and joint patrols of the waterway, Malaysia and Indonesia rejected the proposal as an intrusion.

"I think we can look after our own area," Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi told the Far Eastern Economic Review last month.

Rumsfeld does not intend to directly seek help in the fledgling initiative, said a Defense Department official who requested anonymity, but he will urge broader cooperation in the Bush administration's declared war on terrorism.

"What's important is that we've got a lot of good friends and a lot of good allies in this region, and that the United States is not going to be doing anything that we haven't discussed with them and coordinated and cooperated with," Rumsfeld told reporters traveling with him.

Rumsfeld is likely to focus on improving cooperation among allies in challenging what he described as a sporadically coordinated global terrorist network that threatens all nations.

"Well, we've seen terrorist actions that are not dissimilar in Madrid, in Bali, in the United States," Rumsfeld said. "In one case a plane goes into a building and in another it's a train in Madrid or a hotel or what have you…. And that's a serious problem for every country that prefers to have a state as opposed to a handful of extremists deciding what will happen."

The Secretary said he had no plans to ask for specific contributions to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The 138,000-strong U.S. force in Iraq continues to dwarf troop contributions from other coalition nations.

"In terms of going in and asking for something specific, I doubt it," Rumsfeld said. "I don't think we need to go in and say can you do this, that or the other thing."

The U.S. commitment in Iraq has caused some turmoil in East Asia over the Pentagon's plan to divert troops from South Korea, prompting concern among East Asian allies that the American commitment to the region has diminished. Asked about that fear, an issue that will probably come up during discussions in Singapore, Rumsfeld bristled and described the troop transfer as part of a 2 1/2-year-old global repositioning of U.S. forces, a transition from a Cold War military to a 21st century force.

Directing his answer pointedly to a reporter, he said: "One of the things that everyone, including you, needs to get over is the idea that numbers of troops or numbers of things are how one assesses capability, because it simply isn't the case anymore."

The secretary traveled to Asia on a National Airborne Command Operations Center jet, a modified 747 designed as a mobile command post for use during a nuclear war.

Rumsfeld is scheduled to meet Singapore's deputy prime minister and the defense ministers of Singapore, Japan, Australia and South Korea during his five-day tour. He also plans to visit the nearly 5,000 sailors and Marines with the Essex aircraft carrier group for a reenlistment ceremony and a town hall meeting.

On Saturday, he is scheduled to arrive in Bangladesh for a meeting with the prime minister and defense minister. That visit, which he disclosed to reporters traveling with him, already has drawn criticism.

In a statement Wednesday, Bangladesh Khelafat Andolon, an Islamic group, called Rumsfeld a "perpetrator of genocide in Iraq and Afghanistan, a war criminal, enemy of mankind and Allah" and urged Bangladeshis to rally against the visit, Associated Press reported.

The Communist Party of Bangladesh said Rumsfeld "is visiting Bangladesh to force us to involve our troops in American-led barbarism and aggression in Iraq."

Letter to American Ambassador dtd 16 Sept.2002 re: 9/11

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

Our Ref: HK-3/USAmb.091602.01

Dhaka, Monday, September 16,2002.

To:

Muhtarema Ambassador Mary Ann Peters,

Embassy of the United States of America,

Madani Avenue, Baridhara, Dhaka-1212

Re: Your and President Bush's recent allegations against true Muslims

Mohtarema,

I, Kazi Azizul Huque the son of Kazi Abu Zafor Muhammad Abdul Huque, an obedient slave of Allah, with all humbleness and devotion to the Will of Allah, writing this letter as the sincere expression of my goodwill to the mankind who I believe is the progeny & family of Adam & Eve (Peace & Blessings of Allah be upon them).

(2) Allah says in the Holy Quran :

"O mankind,  fear your Guardian Lord Who created you from a single person (Adam), created out of him his mate (Eve), and from the two created and spread countless men and women ; fear Allah, through Whom  you demand your mutual (rights) and be heedful of the wombs ; for Allah ever watches over you." (The Quran IV:1, Sura No..4, Sura Nisaa or Women, Verse-1). Allah's Messenger & Slave Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad, who is the concluding seal of the Prophets of Allah, said : "Ad-Deen un Nasiha" i.e. "Religion is goodwill".

(3) Therefore, our revered Leader, Late Hazrat Maulana Muhammadullah Hafezzi Huzur said in many of his speeches : "Muslims are my religious kin. Non-Muslims are my family kin, because the whole mankind is the progeny and family of Holy Prophet Hazrat Adam and his wife Hazrat Hawa (Eve), Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon them."

(4) Your name  "Mary"  refers to the name of Sura-19 i.e. ura Marium of the Holy Quran, which Sura was named after the name of Hazrat Marium, the Holy Virgin Mother of Holy Prophet Hazrat Isaa (Jesus) is one of the holiest and blessed women created by Allah. So you will be honored and be fortunate if your deeds are appropriate to your noble and blessed name.

(5) In the recent weeks we saw you in the media reports, addressing the Islamic clergy (18 August, 2002), speaking at round-table (9 September, 2002) etc. We understand, under policy of your government you are on a mission to draw your supporters from amongst the Muslims and the Islamic clergy to resist the emergence of Islam as the World Power. We think, it is another wrong policy of your government. It will further alienate you and your partisans from Allah. Your government will ultimately find it counterproductive, when it will be too late.

(6) When you are on quicksand, the more vigorous movement you make, the more quickly you are likely to die. The best way you can survive is to surrender to Allah,  try to understand the Will of Allah, repent for your sins, become modest and non-arrogant, seek help of the divine, virtuous, righteous, non-communal  spiritual people. May be only then Allah will deliver you honorably. The more you are adamant against Mollah Omar,  Osama and the dedicated Muslims combatants, the more you are inviting the curse of Allah.

(7) About September 11, some researchers have found reference in the Holy Quran as follows (The Quran is divided in to 30 Parts called PARA and consisting of 114 Sura) :- 9/11 : Sura No.9 of Part-11 of the Quran reads : "Which then is best - one who lays his foundation on piety to Allah and His Good Pleasure, or one who lays his foundation on and undermined sand-cliff ready to crumble to pieces ? And it does crumble to pieces with him into the fire of Hell. And Allah does not guide people that do wrong." (The Quran IX:109, Para-11, Sura No.9, Name: Sura At-Tauba (i.e. Repentance), Verse No.109).

In the Arabic text of the above Verse of the Quran there are words "Zooroofin Harr...".  The researchers referred it to be the name of the street on which  the World Trade Center was standing. The researchers also referred Verse No.109 to the total number of WTC floors i.e. 109 floors. They also calculated number of Arabic letters in Sura No.9 from Verse-1 to Verse-109 = in total 2001, which the refer to the year of the event. English translation of the Quran is available world wide. You can check it yourself in any of the translations. Above information is important to those  who believer in the Unseen and Supernatural beings.

(8) It is not believable that any group of living human being could hijack without any hassle 4 large passenger air-crafts within one hour from the same airport of the USA, and those passenger air-crafts could be piloted uninterrupted to hit specifically targeted buildings disabling all modern auto-piloting and radar electronics.  It is believable that the only air-craft that crashed into the field of Pennsylvania might have been hijacked by human beings. The other 3 air-crafts which hit WTC and Pentagon were either hijacked by Supernatural power or were guided by you own NASA electronic devices to hit those targets to create excuse to hit the Talebans, Islam and True Muslims.

(9) The propaganda of your government is not believable. Well-informed Muslims know that after Israel, the government of Qatar is your government's most trusted partner in the region. Your government backed creation of Al-Jazeera TV through collaboration with the Emir of Qatar. The aim of broadcasting Osama's speeches through Al-Jazeera TV probably was to kill multiple Islamic enemies with one stone, i.e.

* to weaken the Muslims by inciting internecine fights between people and governments of the region and penetrating into them in the name of so-called 'democracy and civil society' to combat the indigenous Islamic values which are still surviving in the Arab societies.

* to promote a credible image of Al-Jazeera TV as the voice of Radical Islam to ultimately stab the radical Muslims on their back.

* to punch into the programs of Al-Jazeera TV such interviews, statements and materials which may ultimately serve the US interests by making believable US accusations against true Muslims (for example : soon after 9/11, Al-Jazeera TV broadcast speech of a so-called 2nd in Command of the Al-Qaeda who threatened further attack and called Americans to leave all high-rise buildings, etc.; recently  they broadcast interviews with so-called Al-Qaeda fugitives who claimed to have planned 9/11), and so on.

Wise Muslims are aware about what is happening around. Your government will lately find that your "Al-Jazeera TV project" has also been counterproductive.

(10) Now PRESIDENT BUSH is about to launch massive military strike against IRAQ. Your government was with President Saddam Hussein when he used missiles and chemical weapons against Iran. At that time Iran was crying for Justice. Neither you nor any one in the UN entertained Iran's complain. You all were selling weapons and technology to Saddam Hussein as long as you thought those would be used against Iran. Because you wanted the Muslim states to fight each other and cancel each other out.  But when you realized that your government's favorite "SADDAM PROJECT" turned to be counterproductive as SADDAM HUSSEIN turned into another hero of the Muslims hastening the progress of Islam towards World Leadership, you started calling Saddam Hussein a tyrant and complaining that he had used chemical weapons against Iran and may make and use Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) to destabilize the world !  When Saddam was truly a tyrant, you loved him to be so. Now when he has turned into a moral, ethical, religious and benevolent hero of the oppressed people and when he is loved not only by the masses of Iraq but also by the oppressed masses all over the world, you are calling him tyrant !!!

(11) How can we agree with the policies of your government ? If your government wants to take the teeth out of Saddam Hussein and Muslims, why not take out your won teeth first because your country already has the worst track record of using Weapon of Mass Destruction and threatening with WMD ? Only after then it may be reasonable for you to call to take the teeth out of both Israel and the Muslims simultaneously. One who teaches others something which he himself does not practice is called a hypocrite.

(12) About TERRORISM our Ameer-e-Shariah Hazrat Shah Ahmadullah Ashraf, the son of Mohammadullah Hafezzi Huzur (Peace be up on him), in his letter dated June 11, 2--2, to NATO Secretary-General Lord Robertson wrote : "Your latest concern about so-called TERRORISM is also highly misleading. American and European governments for decades have been supplying money, arms, ammunition, secret information and political asylum to their favorite guerrilla groups against established state authorities all over the world." In fact, the very root of TERRORISM is inalienable part of current  western values. Western values extend demonic culture by nourishing human ego & pride and thus spread arrogance, cruelty, violence, terrorism, hypocrisy, injustice, extravagance, misappropriation, fornication, abuse of women, abuse of children, abuse of freedom for propagation of pornography and cruelty, etc. On the other hand, True Divine Spiritual Religion of Islam inspires man to submit to One God, obey His Appointed Apostle, follow teachings of the Divine Scripture and life of the Apostle. Thus True Divine Spiritual Religion of Islam makes its true followers modest and submissive as well as steadfast and strong-willed. The deeper his/her Faith in the Unity of God, the stronger is his/her will power and patience. Therefore, it is wrong and misleading to accuse true pious Muslims of TERRORISM. We have no doubt that Mollah Omar and Osama are deeply believer, steadfast, calm, compassionate, strong-willed, patient, persevering true pious Muslim combatants who are committed to the fundamentals of Islam i.e. The Quran and the Life of Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him). They are simply unable to be TERRORIST.

Before I conclude, I want you to know that Allah is real. His Power is real. May be He has kept America as a preserved area for Himself. No outside force is required to harm America. Her harm is likely to come from within by Allah if she does not bow down.  She is at the end even though she looks like she will be here forever. She is on her death bed. When Allah avenges His Commands to pass on America,  all of you will be obliged to bow down. These are just not words. You are going to see these in the next few years, by the Will of Allah.

I pray to Allah and invoke His Blessings for the mankind to have His Divine Guidance to be truly Faithful and be virtuous and be compassionate to each other for the good of all.

Thanking you with best wishes and best regards.

I remain,

An obedient slave of Allah,

Kazi Azizul Huq, Secretary,

PRESS RELEASE dtd 14 JULY 2005 : TERRORIST ATTACKS IN LONDON CONDEMNED

PRESS RELEASE : 14 JULY 2005
TERRORIST ATTACKS IN LONDON CONDEMNED

STATEMENT REGARDING LAST THURSDAY’S TERRORIST ATTACKS IN LONDON

DHAKA, 14 JULY 2005 : “We generally endorse and agree to the statement of Muhtaram Pope Benedict XVI in which he expressed his ‘profound grief over the atrocious terrorist attacks in London last Thursday’ and called for prayers ‘for those killed, for the injured and for their loved ones,’ and invited people to pray ‘for the perpetrators of the attack: may the Lord touch their hearts’ and said, ‘to those who nourish feelings of hatred, and to those who carry out such repugnant terrorist acts I say: God loves life, which He created, and not death. Stop, in God's name.’

We do not believe that Osama Bin Laden ordered the attack on the Twin Towers, or he is behind the latest attacks in London. The 9/11 attacks on Pentagon and Twin Towers were either super-natural incidents or might have been organized by interest group inside American Airlines / NASA / US intelligence. The perpetrators of latest attacks in London are either the enemies themselves or may be some deviated members of Muslim community who do not care about the values, principles and limits provided by Allah and His vicegerents in the Islamic Shariah.

In an armed conflict Islamic Shariah allows believer Muslims to attack armed enemies. Islamic Shariah does not permit indiscriminate attack on unarmed civilians of nations ruled by enemy governments. We do not know the identity of the actual perpetrators. We do not believe what the enemy governments and enemy media are propagating.

We are in an age of explosives and fire arms. In an armed conflict today, neither parties can totally avoid collateral damages. But only the coward inhuman evil cruel criminals can fix civilian soft targets for attacks in a way initiated by the US Government at the end of 2nd World War when they chose the civilians of Japan as their soft target for Atom Bombs. Those who believe in Allah and obeys Him and His vicegerents, are careful in these regards. Believers are not egoist. To err is human. If a believer commits any mistake, he repents and corrects himself. He does not boast of his sins. But unfortunately there are rulers and governments in today’s world who boast of their sins.”

Letter to Saudi Foreign Minister : to ensure that the so-called "Islamic Militants" in Bangladesh do not get any support from KSA and GCC

5th Ramadan 1426 A.H. vide 9th October 2005

To:
H.E. Prince Saud Al-Faisal Bin Abdul Aziz
Honorable Foreign Minister of KSA
Ministry of Foreign Affaires - Riyadh, KSA

Tel. 009661 4055000 / 4067777, Fax. 009661 4030645


Dear Excellency,

Assalamu Alaikum.

Bangladesh is passing through a critical situation. Unscrupulous foreigners and locals have resorted to evils to destroy this independent Muslim state by

(1) creating pretext for foreigners to land their soldiers in Bangladesh

(2) dividing the Muslims of Bangladesh between those who visit Mazars & shrines (followers of Sufi Tariqa) and those who oppose visiting Mazars & shrines(followers of Ahl-e-Hadis Sub-sect and of Saudi religious school).


This way Pakistan has already been weakened as the Sunnis and Shiites have been fighting each other.


We urge your excellency to ensure that the so-called "Islamic Militants" in Bangladesh led by so-called "Shaikh" Abdur Rahman (Jamaatul Mujahideen) and his sympathizers do not get any support from KSA and GCC.

Kind regards,


Kazi Azizul Huque

Letter to BBC Re: BBC's Concern About "Schooling Faith" in Islam

BBC's Concern About "Schooling Faith" in Islam

Dear Executives in the BBC,

Mr. Roland Buerk in his write-up dated 26/2/2005 like many Whitemen and their Afro-Asian agents expressed concern about "Schooling Faith" in Islam.

We understand very well that the so-called "Islamic Militancy" is not their main concern, rather they themselves love to create "Islamic Militants" and love to supply them fund, training and explosives to create excuse for banning "Schooling Faith" in Islam.

The root of the problem lies in Whiteman's obsession to rule the world forever. European Renaissance and Industrial Revolution in Europe created vested interests who want to rule the world forever by the values and institutions of atheism, materialism, colonialism, opportunism, hedonism, fornication and by such other vices.

It is a Blessing of God that the vested interests have at length been divided. Their musclemen have leaned towards Christianity and their intellectuals without the backing of the muscle are now beating about the bush in frustration. Their intellectuals can not suppress their happiness that Talebans and Saddam are gone. But their craze to win some position through anti-war cries continues.

Those who do not have the compassion to look after their parents at their old age, want to teach the Afro-Asian nations about Human Rights and Good Governance. Obviously their aim is neither HR not Good Governance. Their aim is to manipulate to keep their domination over the world forever. And that's nonsense. And they are already losing this battle.

I have been a member of Bangladesh Khelafat Andolon for more than 20 years and have been its International Affairs Secretary and Adviser to Jamia Nooria Madrasa for about 8 years. I am very close to the Islamic Clerics and Non-Gov't Madrasa system (i.e. Quaumi Madrasa) and its pupils and teachers. I honestly and sincerely support the Talebans and the freedom fight in Afghanistan and Iraq, though I agree that they are human beings and they are not immune from prejudices, wrongs and errors. But like my compatriots I strongly pursue a policy of not taking up arms in Bangladesh so long we enjoy Freedom of Expression.

Founder of Bangladesh Khelafat Andolon, Late Hazrat Maulana Muhammadullah Hafezzee Huzur (Peace of God be upon him), is one of the founders of the Non-Government Madrasa System in Bangladesh. He used to say in both indoor and public meetings, "Muslims are our brothers in religion, but Hindus are our kin. We are all progeny of our earliest parents Adam & Eve (Blessings of God be upon them)."

But BBC's Mr. Roland Buerk's local guide took him to the so-called madrasa child student in Narayangonj who said to Burek "I want to spread Islam, to convert Hindus into Muslims". I am sure this part of the report is blatant lie.

There is no record that Madrasa students after graduation engage themselves in missionary activities to convert the Hindus to Islam. But the Christian Missionaries are doing it, often backed by western fund while Christians themselves in the West are deserting their churches.

I am curious to meet Mr. Burek's guide and the so-called Madrasa student he interviewed. Most likely it is a concocted story in line with Indian campaign to pressurize the rulers for a crackdown on Islamic institutions in Bangladesh. Also they probably hope that even BNP could be their perfect puppet had the Islamic clerics not in the BNP-led alliance.

The fact is that the Non-Gvernment Islamic Madrasa in Bangladlesh (i.e. Quaumi Madrasa) are NGO Islamic schools which are struggling to protect and promote Islamic Heritage & Culture. Literacy in Islamic scripts and orientation in righteous pious life is their main concern.

So far we know, the recently banned Jamatul Muzahideen and its founder and leader the self-styled "Shaikh" Abdur Rahman is an Indian agent. His wife is the sister of Mr. Mirza Azam MP, General Secretary of Awami Jubo League.

Soon after the current 4-Party Alliance formed Government in Bangladesh, Mirza Azam sent "Shaikh" Abdur Rahman to India. “Shaikh" Abdur Rahman was most likely under Indian intelligence for more that 6 months for orientation, fund and explosives.

It is true that situation for quick growth of Islamic militancy all over the world exist. But if the liberal space for Islamic clerics and activists is not shrunken, they are unlikely to choose the path of armed struggle in Bangladesh.
