Yeh Hum Naheen¸ (This is NOT us) is an NGO headed by Waseem Mahmood and a number of like minded popular Pakistani vocalists have choosen to join hands and raise their voice on behalf of the Muslim world coming together in the form of a an amazing soul touching sound track, featuring names like Haroon, Ali Haider, Ali Zafar, Shufqat, Strings, Shuja Haider and Hadiqa Kiani.
Since the tragic events of 9/11 which shook the world to the core the world has started to label all Muslims as terrorists, the veil, the beard and other Islamic symbols have come to be recognized more as a threat to the world rather then a symbol of a peaceful Islamic religion. The movement aims to address the issues of the growing radicalization of the Pakistani youth and the rise in terrorist activities breeding locally as well as on the international front, the long term objective of this organization definitely remains to address the negative image of Islam in the West.
Yeh Hum Naheen is geared to become an unprecedented musical movement. Featuring the vocal talents of some of Pakistan’s biggest music artists, including Haroon, Ali Haider, Ali Zafar, Shufqat, Strings, Shuja Haider and Hadiqa Kiani, uniting to sing out the message the world needs to hear. (MP3)
Written by Ali Moeen, composed by Shuja Haider, the central message of the song that has compelled so many people to become involved. It is a message of reconciliation, a message of peace and a message of truth. Capturing the imagination of people across the board, Yeh Hum Naheen has given a voice to the silent majority, those in the Muslim world who have for too long been mis-represented. These are the people who although not appearing on our television screens are saddened and shocked at the high-jacking of Islam by terrorists, and want to stand up and shout “This is Not Us.
We as concerned Muslims must join hands to promote this message of peace and love to the entire world.
We plead the world to hear this cry, Muslims are NOT Terrorists…

Asalam-o-Alaikum! Really YEH HAM NAHI we want peace
Asalam-o-Alaikum! Really YEH HAM NAHI we want peace
yes,indeed “yeh hum naheen”
but hum “WOH” bhee naheen
yah hum nahi because yah to woh hain jinka koi mazhab nahi hum to musalman hay or musalman to apna kya kesi or ka bhi khoon behta nahi dakh sakta tp phir ya hum may say kaisa ho sakta hain ya sach hay han ya sach hay ya hum nahi kabhi nahi.
It takes a sentence to construct a lie, considerably more space to refute it. Noam Chomsky wrote that someplace when he was accused of something.
It is even exponentially harder to refute if one does not address the core-axiom upon which the lie is based.
You can turn blue in your face saying you are not a terrorist, to little effect. Examine this video and see how you might refute the mantra of “war on terror” with “yeh hum naheen”.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4376374944190475658
Watching this video of all the presidential candidates of the gop
arguing their thesis primarily based on the axiom ‘islamofascism’,
‘radical islam’, etc., leading to ‘war on terror, plus ‘iran with
nuclear weapons’ – go through the thought experiment of how might one debate these peoples.
Notice that the steller Ron Paul at no point in his excellent rebuttals actually
addresses the axioms, only the corrollories.
He retains that idea of bin laden, al qaeeda, did 911; that there is
indeed a real ‘militant islam’. His argument seems to be that we
shouldn’t be using this for “imperial mobilization”. He spouts
‘constitutionalism’ that we should go to congress for permission
first. But he never takes on the fiction of manufactured terror,
synthetic terror. This is Mr. Ron Paul – the ‘revolutionary’:
At 49:40
“They attacked us” – ‘they attack us because we have been over there’
“Are you suggesting we invited the 911 attack sir?” – ‘I am suggesting
that we listen to the people who attacked us … ‘
So with “they attacked us” as the core-axiom, one cannot effectively defeat it by saying “yeh hum nahin hain”.
Pakistanis, indeed all Muslims, are clearly outclassed and put on the defensive, merely left to assert, at best, that “yes I have stopped beating my wife”. That is clearly a lose-lose proposition.
The alternative is to address the core-axioms which remain unexamined, and upon which the accusation of ‘terrorist’ is itself founded.
In this case addressing the unexamined axiom: that the war on terror itself is manufactured. The terrorists, and the patsies, themselves fabricated, almost in a factory, by deliberately bombing them into existence. By deliberately manipulating them to create terrror with black-ops dollars and operatives having free reign of the land, and getting paid-mercenaries like the Pakistani ruling elite, military men, and politicians, to continually maintain that axiom and continually assert in media and from the pulpit “this is not America’s war, it is our war”, then, one has very effectively created a perpetual enemy to fight the world war IV. Denials doens’t quite cut it, does it?
Here is a short booklet, about 20,000 words, something one can read in less time than watching a bollywood movie to its intermission, that explains why this war on terror is fiction. If one understands it is fiction, then, saying “yeh-hum-naheen” becomes ‘you are the criminals and the culpability rests with the aggressors from which “all the evil which followed.” ‘

@ Zahir Ibrahim,
It is all the matter of self comprehension at
the times of an ordeal, when it falls on someone
like muslims today, there are some who are affected
tremendously and directly, disfigured, oppressed,
discarded, just like jews during 2nd world war, western
civilization is very good at that, Crusades,
Inquisitions, jewsish holocaust, Algerian Genocide
communist goolag 20 millions killed, and now a flagrant
ISLAMOPHOBIA, direct military attacks and Genocide of
Iraqians, Afghans and now Pakistanis because they are
MUSLIM TERRORISTS, for terrorism itself was invented
by Europeans Christians during Crusades, later adopted
by Arabs HassanBin Sabah’s terrorism called Al-Unff.
But is it not Quran that told us
” DON’T BE OPPRESSED ”
Allah Ho Akbar
the muslims r not terorist n ve r said every moment yeh hum nahe…………..
we r not terrorists….
¦@ The poetry is null
The music is Zero
The singers forced, only know rock-n-roll
The action very apologetic and naive.
One who had this idea must decorated with
” sitara-e-Batilan ” decerned by Maulvi Fazlu !
we are all muslims and ISLAM does not allow of any type of terrer. So be a muslim and then be a pakistani.Thanhs
we are not terrorists,we are MUSLIMS and those all are doing this are not MUSLIMS,they are threat to Europeans,they themselves produced once against Russia and it’s states now their weapons are against them.sometimes the act of terror is very fair for people of phalastein defending their territories for people fighting for their rights,i believe in violence but use it against hypocrites not against humans not against innocents.
YOU PAKIS ARE SO STUPID TO FOLLOW SOMEONE LIKE THIS TRAITOR WASEEM M. HE IS THE ONE MAKING MONEY TO HAVE ALL YOU STUPID PEOPLE SIGN AND GO ALONG WITH THIS IDEA. YOU GUYS DESERVE PEOPLE LIKE WASEEM AND ASIF ZARDARI AS YOUR CHIEF.
LEARN SOMETHING, USE YOUR BRAIN IT DOES NOT TAKE A GENIUS TO SEE WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO REPEAT THIS STUPIDITY “WE ARE NOT TERRORIST”.
I AM DISGUSTED. SHAME ON YOU TO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT WASEEM MO IS ALL ABOUT.

Well Rafay, what do you suggest we do? Critisism is good when accompanied by some constructive suggestions to improve the activity being debated here.
Its easy to say all that you did… very difficult to even try and do what we are doing. We are apologetic because we know some of our own brothers and sisters are led into committing such crimes against their own fellow muslims and Pakistanis. Since 2002, 1635 people have been killed in 113 suicide attacks in Pakistan. And out of those killed in these bombings, only 4% are foreigners. (According to Herald, Page 24, November 2008)
So we are apologetic, but to our own friends and family who have suffered from terrorist activities by their own… not to the west! In fact, this message is not addressing the west at all… it addresses the people of Pakistan in general to stand up and unite in the drive against terrorism in the civil way they should. Its our responsibility to cure our homeland of this evil.
I am sure that if some one bomb Waseem M’s house that killed his family and push his entire neighbor hood into poverty for generations to come, he is just going to come out singing and dancing, apologizing and making excuses. Right? And then he gets an award from the people who are responsible for the carnage. (I am sure I read somewhere that he received an award from queen Elizabeth,recently) That would make him all happy. Right?
I don’t think there is a negative word in the dictionary to define his character. But, people who are joining with him are just plain stupid or ignorant. Just because he is NGO you don’t have to follow him blindly. Use your own brain!
I am kashifbasharat and also muslim
muslim can not a tararist
It is the time to answer the world that we r muslims not terrorist who r terrorist r not muslim.so,wake up to save ur country by doing ur duty.the people of our country can do anything we r the best.so,always be proud that u r a Pakistani.Long live PAKISTAN……
And how are you going to “answer the world”? By dancing and singing? How do you “wake up to save your country”? Dancing and singing? It takes a lot more than dancing to “save your country” You fools. I have no hope for you fools, walking behind this Pied Piper Waseem Mahmood.
hey people!
can any one tell me what is wrong with this smart pant?
AOA,YEH HUM NAHI we want piece I love PAKISTAN.I Hate TERRORISMS.
slam, ager hum khtay hain k yeh hum nahi, tou why we said this in english, hum yeh nahi tou hum woh bhi nahi, hum ko humari language, humara culture, humari roots bhi azeez hain,hum sab ko abb fasila kerna ho ga k yeh hum nahi tou hum kaya hain? what we are? r we pakistanies? are we true muslims>? are we cvilized and modrate nation? what we are? hum terrorism ka label hata lain gy? but couraption kaya kran gy? 911 k baad hum per terror ism ka ilzaam aya ? us say phly courption mn secound number per they uss ka kaya krn gay? bijli chori? rishwat? aaty ki zakhira anodozi?aur bohto kush theek hai hum terroroist nahi but in cheezon ka kya? kya yeh hum hain? lets think all abouts it aur kush nhi kehna
tanveer malik!
bohat achhey
its a good effort ,I believe in peace ,in west they dont think that all muslims are terrorist ,but majority on caputured terrorist muslim,I am a human first and then a muslim .
If Islam was followed correctly by its followers it is the most peaceful religion in the world.but see what our bro are doing in the name of islam ,just see the SWAT in our country ,islam does not say girls should not steady but they are closing the school.that u sow is what u reap ,we have to be tolerant to other religion and others will be tolerant towards us.
I support this cause ,long live a true muslim.
Your blog seems to be very popular. Yeh hum nahi are good voices coming from pakistan, contrary to your govt. stand. I appreciate your views and the comments of so many sane people. let sane voices in pakistan, be in touch with sane voices in india. We should work together to finish terrorism.
ye hum nahi, very good answer against tararisom. But we have to see behind what is happening against Pakistan who are suporting terrarists, There is unseen power may be India or Russia who are misleading our Muslim brothers.In Balochistan Indian RAW is very effective to mislead balochi people.we will face every problem bravely.
WE WERE UNITED,WE ARE UNITED,WE WILL BE UNITED InshAllah.

nice video..I am a muslim living in India..Our family is proud to be Indians first and then only muslims..I kindly implore those who think that they are muslims first, Pakistani's later. It should always be country first, religion later..Even in India, people are using religion to invoke hatred between hindus and muslims..I have lot of hindu friends who treat me as their equal and I treat them the same way..please do not make religion more important than country..religion is just a way of life..it should not become the only way of life..I implore my Pakistan brothers to please respect country first and get together to eradicate the evil in your country..
gud job!! i think theses things will finish terrorism and people with terreorism minds.
How come, in many surveys/polls anywhere from 20-70% support suicide bombings and other terrrorists acts.
this is in countries where muslims are in majority.
with that kind of numbers, how can we know who is a peaceful muslim or who is going to blow you up ?
Are there any suggestions on how to detect one ?
i would like to say "ye hum nahi"
Hum naheen Hum naheen
PAKISTAN ZINDABAD, TERRORIST MURDABAD
Interesting to note that a campaign funded by american money can generate support among the gullible ignorants of "Islami" Jamhooreeya -e- Pakistan.
SEO,
Yes Pakistan Zindabad and (Na)Pak Fauj Terrorist Murdabad.
"Ye Hum Nahi"
LOL
all the party boys and girls of Pakistan join together to convey the message to the west ..that muslims are like us 🙂
LOL
that muslims are supposed to be singing and sitting and laughing and dancing and rocking the concerts and that whoever fights in the way of Lord is not a muslim ….
its a very sublime message that changes the message of islam in the gullible minds of the raw youth
……..
nebody seen american idol or indian idol or anything of that sort .. y is the show called idol because those singers are treated as idols … these people in the video are pakistani idols chosen ideally to promote the dancing cultures … how can they own islam and say islam doesnt say this n that when they havent even grasped the meaning of a single surah of Quran ?
y do we have to appease the west ….
oh americans oh britishers … see our youth is singing for u … please be pleased with us and call us one of yours …
we wear your jeans … we play your guitar …we do drugs like u and we drink like u … we are sexually wayward like uuu
please tell us that you wont refuse us entry when the next time we come to your country
we are liberals … if we are liberals and we the pop idols then how can the rest of Pakistan be not liberal ….
stupidity and manipulation manifested …
if promulgating islam and living by its codes is "Fundamentalist" than I am that
if fighting against unjust attacks and rulers is terrorism …
than i am a terrorist
(NB: not every suicide bomb is a bomb by islamists…its high propaganda)
Aslam-o Alekum dear Muslim.
I tell all the word that a terrist has no regilion,country.
all the muslim are islamic brothers.A brother don't murdered any other muslim brother.Allah hafiz.
Salam … Saleem Sahou
just because you say you are a muslim doesnt make you a muslim …. if you are not talking out of your own limited intelligence and you have some knowledge of Quran then you should know what munafiqs are … they are the real culprits …
if i say i m a muslim and i open a brothel … would i not be eligible for stark punishment ??
if i say i am a muslim and i start a banking operation hence looting the poor masses of their little savings … would i not be eligible for war from Allah and His messengers ?
if i say i am a muslim and i am oppressing other muslims (like the army of pakistan and the politicians) would i not be eligible for grand crucifixion ?
what kind of a muslim are you ????
who gave you these ideas ? your local maulvi ? or your mother or your father >? or the television ???
grow up and learn what Islam is … only thru the book of Allah … QURAN ….
and then you will know how many in this country and in this world deserve capital punishment ….
preach ISLAM.
salam friends, good job and PAKISTAN zindabad i would like to say that MUSLIMS are not terrorist take care and ALLAH HAFIZ
Islam doesn't force anyone. It's the relation between mankind and ALLAH.. In today's era if we keep thinking old days we will be far away from the world going ahead of us (we are already very behind).
Shetan culture is bad, but we can still proceed by avoiding shetan culture. Not like these terrorists doing on the name of islam.
SEO DUBAI
Every aspect of the Islam has already been debated by people during the 1400 years since its inception . Right now you are talking about whether Islam is only a personal religion or a State Law to be implemented … There is no value of Shariah if Shariah is not implemented as the "Absolute Law" . Islam covers all the aspect of life personal , social , economical , political .. all these rules have been given by Allah and implemented by the Prophet and Caliphs .
We think about the old days because we see them as benchmark , this wouldnt mean that to return to Islamic Shariah we may abandon the use of cars and start riding camels again , this only means to implement the morality of ALLAH (whose code is eternal) in our socio-politicio-economical environment .
Shetan culture is called "TAAGHUT" you can be either in it or out of it . If you are in it you are a part of it no matter how believing a muslim you are cause as a muslim you are supposed to rebel against it and stop it . As a muslim you cannot allow the TaagHut to dominate the way of life cause then it would affect Islam .
See if you light a fire in a chilled room , either the heat would be absorbed in the cold temperature or the coldness would evade and give way to the heat . Heat and Cold are not similar and cant coexist neither cant light and darkness ,,, get the point ?
The singers of this song or the puppets of this theme don't even know who they really are?
They copy their looks to westerners, they dress like them, they copy and try to talk their way…..Is this what we are?
Who are we, a bunch of morons who like to copy A to Z? or do we have our own origins?
its all about marketing – the consumers don't even know what they have really bought themselves
I was in the media for 2 years so i know how this works …. take for example i am a famous celebrity … some foreign NGO who want to change the culture of Pakistanis (being funded by WB , IMF or any other countries) come to me and say we want to cast you in this campaign and you will get 5 lakh rupees for 2 days of shooting …. i was woooooooooooow … who cares what i portray or what message i send to the gullible public i got my 0.5 million rupees … life cant be easier than that ….
and we see our youths who take these moronic idiots as their idols thinking they r saying the right thing … ye hum nahi hain ….i wish i hadnt given up abusing … i really want to say something unseemingly
slam is the religion of peace oue religion did not forgive these kind of people HADITH NABVI the person who cannot mercy on peoples he is not from us so we want peace and we are definetly against with the terririosm
Bizcore … very impressive insight as to what islam is . Please read the whole Quran and all Hadeeths , its your duty to do so . Obligatory for every1 of you . When you have read these books then look at this hadeeths in that context . Then you will know what Islam is all about .
Right now Islam for you is wishful thinking .
Islam is perfect , muslims are not. No religion including Islam preaches killing others. This campaign needs more coverage in the media. Pakistani's are TOTALLY different from Pakistani Govt. It needs to distinguish this fact in its campaign, cause Pakistani Govt. IS renting its army to USA and UK to kill its OWN citizens in SWAT. ITs not the wish of the people BUT the bankrupt govt. of pakistan is doing EXACTLY that. Stop arabs from saudi arabia to ruin and destroy ISLAM. Its a great religion in the wrong hands of wahibi's.
pakistan ist pakistan hay tuhum hay varna hum kuch nahe pakistan is da best plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz save pakistan loveeeeeeeeeee pakistan
pakistan is our soal … think its our mother land n v r the ones distroing it so plz say no to terrorism n figh angainst it

jo log be gunha logon ka khoon bhaen jin k ander insaniyet na ho wo islam kya kise religon se related nahin hain islam or quran ya koi bhi non muslim religon is ki ijazat nahin deta..
ap men se ziyada tar log achih tarhan jante hain k ye kon kar raha hai jab shetan k ander khuda ka khof hai to musalman k ander bhi hai or men is se bilkul sehmet nahin hon k ye koi muslman ya taliban karwa raha hai woh bhi hamare bhai hain shukriya or allah hamen is mushkil se nijat dilae ameen
who are the real terrorists!!!now everybody in pakistan is
intelligent enough to decide who are the real terrorists ,
who will get benefit by declaring pakistan as failed state,who
are the real enemies of pakistan!!! (America,Israel,India)…
if they say Afghans ,pakistanis,pathans,qabailies are terrorists
then why no one raise the question in international forms that no DOUBT pakistan and afghanistan are poor countries then who is providing them such heavy weapons,barood,trucks,cars etc(through which they BLAST)!!!!! pakistan government is not even to provide enough weapons to our police and army then from where did terrorists get these heavy destructive weapons!

Salams Zainab, ur very thought is really informative but who will understand cos ur top political leaders are not leaders ,they are traitors who broke open ur country,the man who killed his own wife is ur leader ,so corropt that he is bound to sell ur country for every penny he gets to fill his foreign accounts ,god knows what will happen if any country in the world will have some1 to lead the country like how ur head of state is ,but still wen i come across some1 like u i see light in the end of the day and zainab pray that ur ppl get united and think as one with one god in mind and kick out the invaders from ur country and atleast v will hear about pakistan ,,cos its already way tooooo late ,thay have already done the damage what they were suppose to .May god open ur eyes atleast for now ,,,
Thanks for this post, I have learned a lot more now about dir of mp3's. My favorite is a open directory I found somewere on bing. It contains thousands of music files. I have added the link in that website url option. I hope to see more blogposts from you!
We are not the terrorists. These heartless and sick people have destroyed our lives. It is high time that we need to stand against these enemies of the world and finish them.
Insha-Allah we will be successful in removing the cancer from the world which has ruined our lives.
Pakistan Zindabad. Pakistan Paindabad.
