Its interests are increasing day by day. It is making presence felt in the world politics. Pakistan serves as an example (6). The world may soon witness AlQaeda-Taliban ruled Pakistan with nuclear weapons in their hand.

Communism and Terrorism: Are They Complimentary?

The world has witnessed and is still witnessing the horrors of Communism and is at present in the grip of terrorism too. In fact terrorism is age old and existed in all centuries and in all parts of the world in some form or other. Terrorism in the modern sense is violence or other harmful acts committed (or threatened) against civilians for political or other ideological goals. Most definitions of terrorism include only those acts which are intended to create fear or "terror", are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a lone attack), and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants.

Blinking Hope for the Palestine Problem

The most important problem that torments the Middle East is the problem of Palestine that is age old (1). The areas of Palestine formed part of Ottoman Empire. The land of Palestine was inhabited by mostly Palestinian Arabs. In 1850, these consisted of approximately 400,000 Muslims, 75,000 Christians, and 25,000 Jews. For centuries, these groups had lived in harmony: 80 percent Muslim, 15 percent Christian, 5 percent Jewish. The influx of Jews into the areas and colonization by the Jews has resulted in bitterness among Arabs and this continues. After the fall of the Ottoman Empire as a consequence of World War I, these areas came under British control. On Nov 12, 1917, British issued the Balfour Declaration, viewed by Jews and Arabs as promising a “National Home” for the Jews in Palestine. There was great unrest in the land and Arab Revolt was led by Haj Amin Al-Husseini during 1936-1939. Over 5,000 Arabs were killed according to some sources, mostly by British. Several hundred Jews were killed by Arabs. Husseini fled to Iraq and then to Nazi Germany (2). World War II saw large scale migration of Jews in to these areas.

Nuclear Weapons and Crazy Trigger Happy Mullahs of Pakistan

Of late, there has been great Euphoria in the world regarding the safety of Nuclear weapons that are in the control of Pakistan. Over the past fortnight, even since the crisis in Pakistan broke and eclipsed every other geopolitical story, including Iraq, US officials and analysts have been speaking in different voices on the subject of a jihadi takeover of Pakistan's nuclear weapons. Apart from India, Pakistan is the only country that has nuclear weapons in the region of sub continent. Thanks to the past US administration that turned Nelsons eye while Pakistan was pursuing the weapon programme under its very nose. Some also believe that USA has clandestinely supported the programme. There is a general fear in the world that the nuclear weapon technology should not pass onto the Muslim countries from where they could find way to the murderous Islamic terrorist outfits and even Mullah dominated Iran and pose threat to world as Islamic bomb. AlQaeda has gained importance after Russian withdrawal from Afghanistan and grew by leaps and bounds on the foundations of hatred towards Western civilization.

Turkey Wages War Under the Mat

Turkey the only republic in the Islamic world suffers the agitation by Kurds who form part of its population. Kurds are also present in Iraq, Iran and Syria in great numbers. They stay in areas where borders of these countries meet. The struggle by Kurds to form an independent State has been going on since 1984 and the fight has taken advantage of the presence of large number of Kurds in neighboring Iraq (1).

Will Israel Go Alone Against Iran?

Recently Iranian President Ahmed inejad has declared that Iran has reached a mile stone in its nuclear programme (1). What is the mile stone he meant? This was not spelled out and left others guessing. Iran has been actively pursuing its nuclear program in spite of opposition by world countries (Mostly west) spearheaded by America. It has stubbornly resisted all pressures till date. It is being claimed by west that the Iranian program is aimed at acquiring nuclear potential with the aim of building nuclear weapons. Iran however claims that the program is aimed at building know how for power plants (2). The impending nuclear potential by Iran is seen as the greatest threat to world peace and particularly to existence of Jewish State Israel in view of the statement made by the president Ahmed inejad that he would erase Israel from the world map by dropping the nuclear bomb on it once it acquires it (3). Israel being the closest ally of USA, Iran is being considered as the greatest threat to Israel. On the other hand relations between Iran and America are severely strained after the take over by fundamentalist Mullahs and dethroning of Shah Pehalwi in Iran in 1979. In fact Iran celebrates the American hostage crisis as some sort of victory with parades, shouting slogans, “Death to America” wielding weapons and goose stepping too. It displays erstwhile highly dangerous Nazi type tempo in its anti American parades that could bring disaster to their own country as it happened to Germany. History could repeat.

Spain, The Most Important Target of Al Qaeda

After the terrorist attacks on the U.S. on September 11, 2001, President Aznar became a key ally in the fight against terrorism. Spain backed the military action against the Taliban in Afghanistan and took a leadership role within the European Union (EU) in pushing for increased international cooperation on terrorism. The Aznar government, with a rotating seat on the UN Security Council, supported the intervention in Iraq and has participated in the war. This has also become one of the strong reasons for targeting Spain by Al Qaeda.

Morocco and Terrorism

The word Morocco is directly derived from the Amazigh word Mur-Akush meaning Land of God. The full Arabic name of Morocco, Al-Mamlaka al-Maghribiya, translates to "The Western Kingdom". Al Maghrib (meaning "The West") is commonly used. For historical references, historians used to refer to Morocco as Al Maghrib al Aqşá ("The Farthest West"), disambiguating it from the historical region called the Maghreb. The name "Morocco" in many other languages originates from the name of the former capital, Marrakech (1). Morocco is a North West African country that is very close to Europe near Spain. It is neighbored by Algeria and Western Sahara and is strategically very important. It is separated from Spain in Europe by Straits of Gibraltar in Mediterranean Sea separating from Atlantic Ocean. It has long Atlantic coast. Muslims occupied Spain in medieval times through these narrow straits and established rule of Moors and finally they were driven out by Francs. AlQaeda leadership claims Spain as a land of Islam and is waging Jihad against it. Morocco is a strong ally of USA and is maintaining cordial relations eversince American independence. It has the oldest functional friendship treaty signed by legendary President John Adams and Jefferson with Moroccan King of the period. However it expressed its opposition to American war on Iraq stating that it would antagonize Muslim fundamentalists in the country.

Pakistan In Turmoil

Pakistan is in turmoil now days; thanks to the intriguing aspects of mental make up of its people, policies and US pressures and historical background apart from ever involving Pak army in the country’s affairs. Pakistan never had stable governing right from the days of its founding in 1947 after breaking away from greater India. It has been found on the foundations of fundamentalism, falsified superiority of Islam over infidels, inability to adjust and live with Kafirs (Hindus) and hatred towards them and their ill perceived domination in liberated India. Its birth has been tarnished with blood of people and curses from people on both sides of the border. Secondly, it was most unnaturally formed with East Pakistan comprising of East Bengal provinces with majority Muslim population who are ethnically, culturally and physically different from the West Pakistanis who go around with egoism, air of superiority and dominance by virtue of their superior physical build, complexion and gait over dark skinned, short stature and physically weak Bengali Muslim brothers. More over these provinces are separated by a distance of more than 1000 km cutting across India the arch enemy to Pakistan. Finally this led to the inevitable disintegration of Pakistan and birth of Bangladesh, another Muslim nation not before General Tikka Khan, the military governor of East Pakistan committed grave crimes and murders on the Bengali population and killing of intellectuals as an act of repression. Bangladesh is no holy cow and it has persecuted minorities in their country and has identified itself with Mullahs and inspired international terrorism. The banned books of Tasleema Nasreen in the country and her persecution are the testimony to this fact. All her writings are gagged under the pretext of writing against Prophet ( PBUH) and Islam that are not acceptable. Now they are hand in glove with Pakistan, their once tormentors in doing devil’s dance of terrorism. Its people most shamefully and thanklessly killed their father of nation Sheik Mujeebur Rehman who led them to liberation with the help of Indian army and was a sane person. India is no better in this regard. India’s father of Nation Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was also shot and killed soon after gaining independence. Pakistan suffered military dictatorships in a span of ten years after gaining nationhood and right from the days of self proclaimed Field Marshal Ayub Khan (1958-1969) who deposed President Iskandar Mirza ( A former army General) who declared Marshal Law in 1958 (1). By this time politicization of Pakistan army was well rooted and complete. General Yahya Khan (1969-1971) succeeded Ayub Khan and his bad handling of situation after general elections resulted in 1971 war with India and consequent liberation of East Pakistan that was named Bangladesh (2). General Zia ul Haq (1978-1988) followed in foot steps and dethroned Prime Minister Zulfikhar Ali Bhutto in 1978 and subsequently hanged him (3). President Zia ul Haq died in a mysterious air crash along with his aides in 1988 which remains unsolved till today. Even now the country is suffering Under General Pervez Musharraf (1999---) who dethroned Prime Minister Nawaz sheriff in 1999 and Pakistan thus has been suffering military dictatorships for nearly 30 years out of its 60 years of pathetic existence (4). President Musharraf is facing the most difficult period of his eight year rule till date.
