After signing an agreement with Turkmenistan and Afghanistan for a gas pipeline from Daulatabad to Gwadar port, General Musharraf was asked about supplying gas to India, via a second pipe-line from Iran. Musharraf replied, "We have given our commitment to Iran and India in this regard. It is also in our economic interest. This offer and commitment remains unchanged despite tension." Musharraf began the week a national television address where he talked of mobilising all of Pakistan’s resources to give a moo-tawr jawab (jaw-breaking answer) to Indian aggression. However, before the week was over he re-affirmed his commitment to mobilising the gas resources of Muslims to solve India’s dire energy crisis. The Hindu State is devoid of significant energy resources like oil and gas. Hindu economic strategists are therefore desperate to get gas from the Muslims of Iran and Central Asian Republics. The supply of gas to India will only result in boosting of the industrial and military power of the Hindu State and thereby increase the Hindus’ ability for further hostile actions against Muslims. Musharraf’s commitment to provide gas to the Hindu aggressors is a threat to the security of Muslims of Pakistan, Kashmir and India itself. No amount of royalties from the pipeline can ever pay for Muslim blood. If the Muslim rulers were sincere to the Muslims the very least they could do is cut the supply of oil and gas to the enemies of the Ummah. The leadership within the Khilafah State will be sincere to Islam and will spare no effort in using the resources of the Ummah for the benefit of the Ummah and the deen. www.khilafah.com.pk ============================================================ You can choose whether you prefer to receive regular emails or a weekly digest by visiting http://www.muslim-news.net Archive: http://archive.muslim-news.net You can subscribe by sending an email to request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "subscribe" (without quotes) in the subject line, or by visiting http://www.muslim-news.net You can unsubscribe by sending an email to request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without quotes) in the subject line, or by visiting http://www.muslim-news.net You are welcome to submit any relevant news story to submit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For regular Islamic cultural articles by email, send email to revivalist-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ============================================================
