At the time Indian officials had pointed out that the CIISS was always headed by a senior party functionary and “several senior members from the Chinese Communist Party are known to write under aliases on its website.” They had suspected that Zhan was a senior party member writing under a pseudonym. Taken together, the Zhan Lue articles and the Global Times editorials suggest serious undercurrents of anti- Indianism in China. -- *Manoj Joshi*** The tense relations between the Han Chinese and the ethnic minorities — particularly the Uighurs and the Tibetans — are historical and China for decades kept these under wraps using brutal methods and by killing their identities, culture, language. For years, Beijing demonised them as terrorists. *Chinese officials had said the country is facing a “life- and- death struggle” in Tibet and southern Xinjiang.* **China’s traditional practice of killing domestic issues through international support, especially from the Muslim states, may be getting dated now. Sympathy for the Tibetans and Uyghur’s is growing even among the Muslim countries. -- *P.

First, as Afghan analyst Wahid Mojdah pointed out in a recent article in Dari, the *Taliban believe that only practicing and pious **Muslims should be given the right to vote*. Hence a leader chosen by a majority regardless of their religious credentials is lacking legitimacy. Second, the Taliban believe that Washington pays only lip service to democracy, failing to accept democratically elected groups such as Hamas or the Iranian government, for ideological reasons. Third, an election campaign held in a country under occupation is by definition meaningless, as the nation is not sovereign. -- *Nushin Arbabzadah* More...<http://newageislam.org/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1639> Current affairs *Egypt and global Islam: The battle for a religion's heart<http://newageislam.org/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1635> * Jihadist ideology has also been facing what may prove to be bigger threats than those posed by military setbacks or defections. Clerics from the broader ideological mainstream of Islam, where most Muslims put themselves, are condemning nihilist extremism with greater boldness. The strongest recent critique of global jihadism has come from a figure who is himself controversial in the West: Yusuf al-Qaradawi, an 82-year-old Egyptian who lives in Qatar, and a familiar figure, through his broadcasts, to Muslims across the world. He is a canny, theologically conservative populist, whose scathing references to Jews and homosexuals have made him persona non grata in America and, as of 2008, Britain. -- *Report* 1 Comments More...<http://newageislam.org/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1635> Islam and the West *Hypothesizing on the Iran-Russia-U.S. Triangle<http://newageislam.org/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1640> * The real nuclear option for Iran does not involve nuclear weapons. It would involve mining the Strait of Hormuz and the narrow navigational channels that make up the Persian Gulf. During the 1980s, when Iran and Iraq were at war, both sides attacked oil tankers in the Persian Gulf. This raised havoc on oil prices and insurance rates. If the Iranians were to successfully mine these waters, the disruption to 40 percent of the world’s oil flow would be immediate and dramatic. The nastiest part of the equation would be that in mine warfare, it is very hard to know when all the mines have been cleared. It is the risk, not the explosions, which causes insurance companies to withdraw insurance on vastly expensive tankers and their loads. It is insurance that allows the oil to flow. -- *George Friedman, Stratfor* More <http://newageislam.org/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=1640> -- Asadullah Syed --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Asalam o Alaikum, You Are Receiving This Message, Because You Are A Member Of FOCUS ON ISLAM, A Google Group [..:: The Best Group For Nice Islamic Mails ::..] \/<<<<>>>>\/<<<<>>>>\/<<<<>>>>\/<<<<>>>>\/<<<<>>>>\/<<<<>>>>\/<>\/ You can Post Your Comments and Suggestions to Me [Moderator of this Group] on this email address: [email protected] To visit your group on the web, go to: http://groups.google.com/group/focusonislam/ To post messages/mails to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Please forward our Mails to Your friends, and convence them to join our Group.
