Well that escalated quickly.

@OpIndia_com and @HinduHate have picked up the revelation that a New York Diwali event was linked to Pakistan's radical Jamaat-i-Islami.

It's not the first time American orgs have skipped due diligence.

Here is the @OpIndia_com piece on the Diwali event. They've gone for the Hamas angle.

Jamaat have a history of funding terrorism and extremism.

Their charities are amazing, but they do skim.


@SarahLGates1 is now pushing a petition.

@Jemima_Khan gave her seal of approval to al-Khidmat Foundation (AKF) because of its work on alleviating floods in Pakistan.

AKF does do good work like most Jamaat charities. But at what cost? ISI skimming?


All organisations doing work in #Pakistan should do basic due diligence.

Al-Khidmat Foundation (AKF) is well known because of its ties to Jamaat-i-Islami. A political group which has been tied to terrorism and extremism for decades.

9/11 mastermind...
edition.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/asi…

KSM the mastermind of 9/11 was captured in the home of a Jamaat leader. The group helped setup the Mujahideen.

Osama bin Laden's first trip to Pakistan was to meet the late Qazi Hossain Ahmad, the 'Godfather of Jihad' and Jamaat's former Ameer.
Jamaat build al-Qaeda. Abdullah Azzam, Osama bin Laden's mentor, was brought to #Pakistan to teach at Jamaat's International Islamic University IIU in #Islamabad.

The ISI encouraged it.
Here is Jamaat giving money to Chechen leader Zemlikhan Yanderbiyev. Yanderbiyev was added to UN sanctions for his work with al-Qaeda.

He was believed to have been behind numerous terrorist atrocities. His fighters trained by OBL.

Russia killed him in a car bomb in Doha.


@abhijitmajumder doesn't mince his words.

Jamaat-i-Islami charities do good work, but its ideology is horrible. They also skim zakat. It's directly led to death and murder around the world.

We have to get @BellHouseNY to change their minds.

#Diwali


@GemsOfBollywood are now saying Diwali shouldn't fund hate.

@ArtiParty made a mistake and I hope she changes her mind. She's certainly got some free publicity!

@ArtiParty a lot of American organisations don't do due diligence.

They see Islam and charity. Eyes light up.

It's great that you want to work with Muslims, but Jamaat have been abusing Zakat around the world to promote hate. They target minorities too.

Please reconsider.
Jamaat are horrors. Ask any Pakistani or South Asian journalist in the USA. Image

If you think #Pakistan counter-terrorism policy is bad. #Indonesia...

Here is Ustadz Aris Munadar. He's been on the UN AQ Sanctions list for decades. He headed KOMPAK, an al-Qaeda/Jemaah Islamiyah front.

The Muslim Brotherhood's top European operative is still helping him...
voa-islam.com/read/indonesia…

Here is Aris Munadar openly supporting ISIS.

Umar Patek, a former associate of Munandar helped lead US Navy Seals to Osama Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad. @FBI confirmed it. @CIA still deny it.

Weird, the phone number associated with the United States Special Police (USSP) which is involved in the Secret Service/Fake DHS/ISI scandal is linked to lawyers working in national security law at Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP.

Their team worked on Russia-FARA investigations.
Fake DHS agents managed to penetrate the Secret Service. The suspects claim they have Pakistani intelligence ties too.

Now a potential Russia-FARA tie?... could be completely coincidental.

Here is more background on the curious story:

theguardian.com/us-news/2022/a…
Could it be a corruption of the B2Byellowpages and yellow pages databases?

The phone number for USSP leads straight to the NatSec lawyers.

Vladimir Putin's foreign policy swings between 2 poles.

1.) Putin vs western adventurism- Iraq, Iran, Syria+ Libya.

2.) Putin vs Former Soviet Union (FSU) states. Putin stuck in the 90s. USSR was a 🇷🇺 led project. It still pains Putin.
aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/25…
theguardian.com/world/2021/dec…

When the USSR collapsed, Putin forced into working as a taxi driver.

Putin often talks about it. His essay on #Ukraine also looks backward to a period when Russia was great.

Putin is very similar to Musharraf #Pakistan, who said he sobbed over #1971.
outlookindia.com/website/story/…

Musharraf, "I broke down and cried."

Putin and Musharraf (Pak NatSec community) share similar traits. Stuck in the past.

Putin has spent years building up his forces to make Russia feel better when it should have focused on development of its Far East.

@georgegalloway is an idiot.

Gaslight extraodinare. Trying to kick up a storm that he's not affiliated with RT and Sputnik.

He's the host of one of their most successful shows! Image

The question is do his fans think he's lost credibility by not standing up for himself and Russian affiliated networks?

Probably not... ends justify the means. Galloway has made his career hawking anti-Imperialist, Islamist, and anti-American viewpoints.

GOAT of Gaslighting.

The @UN said there is no evidence of bioweapons programmes in #Ukraine.

"All we heard is about health facilities in Ukraine. #Russian allegations, in our opinion, part of the information warfare...unsubstantiated. Council should not be served with fantasies, but proof."
"Nobody is fooled by Russia's lies... I'm not even sure it's fooling Russians."

French Ambassador to the @UN
India Ambassador at @UN.

"...should follow Biological Weapons Convention."
