A hail of bullets is not precision shooting.

The shooter(s) hit a tyre and the rear window. It suggests the SUV went through the road block.

Hopefully an investigation will bring more information. There are lots of conspiracy theories. Axes to grind.

Pakistan is upset about the killing of #ArshadSharif.

@PTIofficial are using it to bludgeon the Pakistan army.

There was a witness to the whole event sitting next to Arshad. Let's wait to see what he says before jumping to conclusions.
#ArshadSharif brother, KHURRAM AHMED was in the car and we should wait to hear his statement.

Why did he bolt the road block/barrier? Was it defensive driving?


It's only natural for journalists and politicians to sensationalise the killing of #ArshadSharif.

He was a wanted man. Kenyan journalists said it was sniper. Then they walked it back to say the killers sprayed the SUV with bullets.

I think the @HuffPost article on Audrey Truschke should have opened with an acknowledgement that Truschke organised the 'Dismantling Global Hindutva' conference last year.

People would want to know the reason why she experienced trolling from the BJP. Image
Hinduism is not Hindutva can work both ways. Because all Hindus have Hindutva.

The BJP and RSS doesn't have a monopoly on it.

Which makes Truschke and Co's manual even more dangerous. #Hinduphobia Image
"Hindutva is not addressed and defeated," is especially dangerous. As I've said, BJP and RSS don't own Hindutva it belongs to all Hindus.

Truschke and other left-wing critics of the BJP and communalism need to be very careful. Their manual is dangerous and counterproductive. Image

@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.

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.

@CliffSmithZBRDZ
opindia.com/2022/10/new-yo…

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.


@rishibagree has picked up the story.

There is even a petition against it.

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.
