In the past few weeks there has been a buzz spreading around Pakistan’s digital world talking about the recent fame surrounding the TV show personality Zaid Hamid who conducts a show on TV One called Brasstacks. It should be mentioned that brasstacks is reportedly a paid-for show which has started airing barely a few months back and has developed a very strong following amongst the masses. Admittedly Zaid Hamid is quite eloquent in his show and is well versed in his explaining his innumerable concepts of ranging from economic terrorism by the Zionists to other such issues which are poised at him even Islamic issues
I too have been guilty of occasionally catching a glimpse of his show and did even carry his five part series on Economic Terrorism. All seemed well until a close associate contacted me via facebook sharing his concerns about Zaid Zaman Hamid and revealed his suspicious association with Yousuf Ali, a self proclaimed prophet from Lahore in the 1990’s. Zaid Zaman was purportedly the right hand man of Yousuf Ali and was fondly referred to as his Hazrat Ali. Zaid Zaman was instrumental in spreading the message of prophecy far across Pakistan, to develop a large cult like following in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad mostly due to Zaid Zaman’s excellent communication skills.
Yousuf Ali had been preaching his divine revelation to his followers for quite many years when finally a handful defected and braved to testify against him in the Lahore High Court which ultimately gave Yousuf Ali, a death sentence on charges of Blasphemy. Yousuf Ali was then confined to Kot Lakhpath jail and in 2001 was shot dead by a fellow prisoner. Throughout the legal proceedings one witness after another testified to the fact that Zaid Zaman was a key figure in the promotion of Yousuf Ali’s Kazzab movement. I have been told that there even does exists an analog video of Zaid Zaman standing beside Yousuf Ali while he addressed his followers in Lahore. Somehow the fact that Zaid Zaman was a key figure in this movement is generally a foregone conclusion, as there are one too many eye witnesses and more importantly numerous had testified the fact which may even be present in the records of Lahore High Court, including Zaid Zaman’s testimony to the honorable judge, all records are securely preserved in the archives of Tahaffuz-e-Khatm-e-Nabuwwat in Karachi.
The Zaid Zaman Hamid storm actually started with the email from Naufil Shahrukh, a close friend whom I have known since 1990, the email at first in the form of a private message on Facebook but soon propagated online and published on Dictatorship Watch, verbatim
If you guys remember the Pakistan false prophet, Yousuf Ali, who was arrested and sentenced to death by the Lahore High Court and then murdered in Kot Lakhpat jail by a fellow prisoner – this guy Zaid Hamid was known as Zaid Zaman at that time and was the Khalifah of that Kazzab. Zaid is still leading that cult which belongs to the Firqah Batinyah of Sufism and they have a different aqeedah altogether which they only profess within their inner core. Many of my personal friends fell prey to his charisma in the 1990s, some of them reverted back to Hidayah and were instrumental in filing a case against Yusuf Ali which ultimately lead to his death sentence and the cult members dispersed for a few years.
The time line of events that he narrates in his letter are erringly accurate and when Naufil mentioned to me later pointing out the common friends who fell prey to this cult one does weigh in a sigh of relief to have been spared of the poison. The most logical reason as to why our neighborhood was penetrated to such an extent can be attributed to the fact that Zaid Hamid hailed from our locality. Off the friends who willingly embraced Yousuf Ali’s prophecy was Ryzwan Tayyab who very soon featured himself as a militant leader of the movement and after the collapse of this movement has retreated into a cocoon of severe depression irreparably damaging his family around him. Ryzwan was also involved in actually issuing death threats to the few journalists who were critically investigating Yousuf Ali back in those days.
The resurfacing of Zaid Hamid after 15 years of hibernation is interesting, he catapults himself in 2006 as a security threat analyst frequently publishing PDF based Pakistan threat reports for a subscription fee of Rs. 25,000 but within a span of a two years mustered up enough finances to launch a self sponsored TV show which started transmission in the early months of 2008, suspiciously timed around the fall of the Pervaiz Musharraf’s regime. The sudden shot to fame on TV is being compared to the launch of Dr. Shahid Masood’s End of Time series, which too was based on an eloquent anchor with one too many theories to present.
Off the numerous people stepping forth to expose Zaid Hamid the must read narration is of a two year email correspondence between Zaid Hamid and Abidullah Jan. It gives an insight onto Zaid Zaman when he first started sharing his BrassTacks Security reports, slowly moving into becoming a much sought after personality. What was interesting to read was when in the early months of 2007 Zaid Zaman approached Abidullah Jan struggling to stay afloat and requested Abid to help promote his security reports to a wider audience “I am in need of some clients to stay afloat as I am being squeezed by the government’s men for being too open and ruthless”. Zaid Hamid a few months later, after the 3rd Nov Martial Law appeared on a couple of pro-Musharraf TV shows on PTV with Ahmed Qureshi. Then suddenly out of the blue he is able to muster up enough finances to launch a self sponsored show on TV One. Watching a person flutter from being financially strapped and haunted by ‘government’s men’ to appearing on a pro-Musharraf show, then having catapulting into his own show seems all too suspiciously the work of some ‘hidden hands‘
If coincidence was anything to go by, I also noted that around this time emerged Zaid Hamid’s articles on a very staunch pro-Musharraf proponent Ahmed Quraishi who continues to wage an online battle with the Anti-Musharraf sect. When today I inquisitively launched a witch hunt for Zaid Hamid on the website I was surprised to see that quite a few of Zaid Hamid’s editorials were missing for example the January 29th article which should have led to the page has been removed from the website sometime after September 5th 2008 [as indicated by the Google Cache] and this is not the only article missing of the series, I wonder why the sudden cover up after September 5th by Ahmed Quraishi.
The only acknowledgment of any link with Yousuf Ali came from an email shared with me privately where Zaid Hamid Alhamdolillah, i have nothing to do with Yousuf or his beliefs or any other people like him.
Lest I be charged of taking this message out of context I share with you the entire section of the email so people may understand his response fully
In the last 30 years of my life, In search of truth and to study this world and its ideologies, Allah took me to many places and I met many people. I have traveled with Iranian revolution, have faught in Afghan Jihad, have gone out with Tablighi Jmaat, spent time with Jamaat Islami, have met hundreds of people including Dr. Israr, Ahmad deedat, Yusuf Islam, Anne Marrie schimmel and so on and so forth. Have also been with sufi groups in Pakistan, Turkey, Madina and Cyprus. I have also seen the western society, its civilization from a close range. Whatever I speak and do today, is the result of these experiences in life but with the mercy of Allah, He protected his humble slaves and keeps them in His infinite mercy and guidance. He showed me the world and people, but kept me away from their harm and made me benefit from any khair they had.
I also met and studied many objectionable people who were controversial but in the end Allah kept me away from them. It was all learning experiences. Alhamdolillah, i have nothing to do with Yusuf or his beliefs or any other people like him
Though he puts forth a convincing argument but it seems yet again that he refuses to acknowledge his association with Yousuf Ali to categorically say that he has “nothing to do with Yousuf or his beliefs” is this admittance of his association or denial of the fact?
Proponents of Zaid Hamid continue to plead his innocence even today as Pakistan First blog, which has been previously labeled to have a strong pro-Musharraf tilt, shared an article by Asif Shiraz who writes Zaid Hamid: As I knew him
I first met Zaid hamid at the youthful age of 17, when the emotions were high, and the search for truth pristine and innocent. A friend had told me about Zaid Hamid, and I was anxious to meet him: I was not disappointed. Our first meeting was a blast. I enjoyed Zaid sahib’s charismatic talk on many different issues, especially his passion about Islam and his knowledge on a diverse set of subjects. Although it’s been many years now, I still remember highlights of that conversation: Quotations from Iqbal, recollection of glorious events from the lives of the Sahaba, and discussion of the relevance of having truth faith “Yaqin”. Not once on that day, nor ever afterwards in these fifteen years, have I ever heard anything from Zaid Hamid which is incongruent to ideas present in mainstream religious teachings of Ahl-e-Sunnah wal-jamaat. No mention of any “cult ideology”, and no reference to anyone claiming “prophethood” whatsoever. He is a firm believer in Khatme-e-Nabuwat and the finality of Prophet Muhammad(sm). In fact, Zaid Hamid is the only person whom I have met, who lives in a rented home, but still spends a handsome chunk of his earnings every year to pay a visit to the blessed cities of Hijaz-e-Muqaddas. It is nothing other than Zaid Hamid’s love and devotion to the Prophet(sm) that he has visited Masjid-e-Nabwi more than 10 times. After the first initial meeting, I have been in touch with Zaid Hamid off and on for many years, until I moved to Chaklala Scheme III becoming his neighbor and an even closer friend.
Asif Shiraz does admit in his article that he is now a neighbor of Zaid Hamid but surprisingly fails to disclose that he is an employee of BrassTacks as proclaimed by him in this Facebook message (Screen capture) whilst a little investigation also sheds some light that Mr. Asif Shiraz incidentally happens to be the Administrative domain contact for Zaid Hamid’s website Brasstacks.biz (screen capture)
It is sadly Asif Shiraz’s attempt to stand up for his boss only goes to discredit Zaid Zaman. To analyze Zaid Hamid’s Brasstacks TV show one should read the two articles published in The News by Fasi Zaka September 18th The Pakistan Report and on 25th September published a follow up titled Hate Speech – II
My concern here remains is that Zaid Zaman is appearing on public TV and continues to eloquently preach his philosophy to the public at large, had if this individual remained as private entity, then we would have had no right to question his beliefs, but once he dons the public forum, then I feel it is the right of the people to know the facts. Generally as a free society we cannot stop him from sharing his opinion with the public at large but it is our right to question his logic and any underlying issues that may tarnish his analysis as he chooses to present to the public, and in the same pretext its important to then question his association with the self proclaimed prophet a notion strictly prohibited in the religion of Islam.
The mystery surrounding this controversy seemingly gets worse with every passing day, could it be a mere propaganda, could it be his attempt to cover up his past, or does he simply choose ignore and hopefully forget, but more importantly does he still believe in the prophecy, so many questions, all shall remain a mystery until he alone chooses to address the propaganda and clarify his position once in for all

@ nota the slanderer: You are trying to accuse a Muslim of disbeleif over here
@Syed Sajjad Ali
“@ nota the slanderer: You are trying to accuse a Muslim of disbeleif over here”
That’s rich. Well, one more “title” for me 🙂
BTW, prove your allegation (“accuse a Muslim of disbelief”). Everything I’ve said is right here on this page (but no twisting my words).
By the way, in your reading of Quran is saying stuff like “nota the slanderer” is not a slander? 🙂
You guys are hilarious!!!
@nota:BTW, prove your allegation (”accuse a Muslim of disbelief”). Everything I’ve said is right here on this page (but no twisting my words).
You wrote the article and now trying to defend it. Please try to observe that you are now the only one who is defending or may be you are trying to make your blog more popular.. but mind it.. Zaid Hamid is not Musharraf that you will take him so easily… you and this blog just creating a very negative impact and trust me that this is not in favor of anyone…
Everyone.. please stop justifying Zaid Hamid here.. it is very obvious that if anyone’s background is so black like mentioned here on this blog then such a person would never appear on television.
By replying to these baseless criticisms, we’ll only be giving them an opportunity to twist our words and turn it into another one of ”we-know-what-this-is-really-about’ theories, as you must have noticed by the above article. If we maintain silence, because we believe useless criticism should be trashed, there is only so much they can do to use against us.
My humble request to everyone.. please leave this blog alone!
Cheers
If you want to tackle the liar called Zaid Hamid, it’s a waste of time trying to see what his ‘real’ beliefs or agenda are.
Just see his own website(s) and how he deceives people by intentionally selectively censoring information.
http://brasstacks.coolpage.biz/rel-med.htm
Again, watch how he twists the movie zeitgeist – (www.zeitgeistmovie.com) whose first 40 minutes he erases and starts his labelled ‘part 1’ from the middle.
It would have been a mute point had the basis of his arguments and research not been plucked out of this movie, word for word.
Zaid Hamid is a liar par excellence.
For those who are supporting him, it would be good to ask him this one simple question. I have many more responses for his historical lies but he is not worth giving any more credence. Zaid Hamid is a pathological liar.
Why doesnt Zaid Zaman Hamid comes forward and answer the 5 basic questions posed before him. I have no doubt that he is the same guy nominated by Yusuf Kazzab as his khalifa and now he can neither accept nor deny this fact. That is why he is just beating about the bush and hiding behind sharia terminologies and curses and the silly arguments of his moron followers rather than coming to the basic point.
The Lone Ranger:
Who gives a rat’s behind about what enemies of islam says about muslims??? truth hated of devil is always slandered by those lead by the devil.
“…Everyone is most welcome to visit us in our office in Pindi and seek any further clarification if required…” Zaid Hamid
why respond to scum who is hidding behind screen names?
Come forward with a camera go to his office and ask !!!
@Khan i just read your post… i will leave this slander room alone
inshallah
In his replies, Zaid Hamid has said that he does not believe in any prophet afar Muhammad(S.A.W.W).. and also said that he does not believe in any false prophet and cursed those who were claiming to be a prophet.. BUT… he didnot say that he had no connection with Yousuf Kazzab.. Because as far as I have concluded from my research is that ZZ Hamid believes in Yousuf Kazzab as Imam-e-Zamana (Nauzubillah).. but he does not want to say this in written form because once he’ll do it.. people will spread his words and he won’t be able to argue and convience others through his speaking communication skills.. this is the main reason he asks people to visit him so that he can discuss the matter with them..
I think the controversy is concluded, I visited ‘Dictatorship Watch” to day and they have posted an image of book and a few years old news item from a paper.
http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2019/zaidhamidyousufkazabkhaeu2.jpg
In fact I can recall reading this news in paper…with reference to “Brinks’….it is few years back.
As to myself I am now fully satisfied about the allegations against him being true, but you can make your minds as you are satisfied.
@Silence
You post two pages of Book, 426 & 427 containing three clips two with title one without title.
The one with title talking about Zaid Zaman is without reference–other two have the reference of “Daily Khabren”.
Please post the page 428 also we want to see the reference of this spicy cheap stuff about calling him Khalifa Abu Bakr(ra).
If I sniff you right–you will not post page 428 for lack of proper reference–It only add more power to my nose.
@Khan
“You wrote the article and now trying to defend it.”
Great! Now I am an author as well! 🙂
“Please try to observe that you are now the only one who is defending”
Is that a crime? (By the way I am not the only one. See how easily you lie about things right in front of your face)
“or may be you are trying to make your blog more popular..”
Sure I have a “blog” but if you would notice I hardly update it. And if I wanted to make it “popular” I would have posted this issue there and put a link to it here, for starters. So much for that theory 🙂
“Zaid Hamid is not Musharraf that you will take him so easily… you and this blog just creating a very negative impact and trust me that this is not in favor of anyone…”
I don’t even know what that statement means!
“By replying to these baseless criticisms…”
But you are NOT REPLYING. Just trying some cr@p while frothing at your mouths. Some one asks a question, you are supposed answer it but you choose to do just name-calling. What nice “religious” responses, eh? 🙂
“My humble request to everyone.. please leave this blog alone!”
My humble request to everyone.. please leave this blog alone unless you have something to offer the discussion besides gibberish/psycho-babble and (as @Fraz would say) “half-baked theories of pan-islamism”
🙂
@Syed Sajjad Ali
“The Lone Ranger:

Oh so now the Devil is in the mix as will. Regarding “who gives a rat’s arse…”, your posts prove YOU do 🙂
“Come forward with a camera go to his office and ask !!!”
Like I said, I will. But then reading and understanding what you read is not your strong point, is it? 🙂
“i will leave this slander room alone…inshallah”
Why do I have the feeling that your putting it like that, I am certain you will be back, you T2, you 🙂
@Khan
@Syed Sajjad Ali
BTW, hope you see from my two posts above how one is supposed to “answer” to “questions”. To make it simpler, here’s an example:
Q: Is the sky blue?
A: Yes (or “No” in your case)
NOT
A: You Satan worshiper, you heathen, instument of dark forces, …, slanderer, Anti Pakistani, Pro America, Pro TTP, Anti Pak Army, Anti ISI, May Allah (SWT) destroy you from your roots… you will not succeed in your hate agenda against the SKY…Ameen. Sum Ameen”
Notice any difference? No? Oh well!
Though it might surprise some, I just notices Economic Terrorism – by Zaid Hamid was FEATURED right here on this blog. In fact it is No. 6 on the “Most Read Posts” and with the following intro by Teeth Maestro:
“I share with you a five-part series of the talk show Brass Tacks televised on TV One, the interview is of Mr. Zaid Hamid who shares his opinions on the global banking problems in light of historical understanding. He has some strong arguments, definitely worth a listen. ”
Do you ZZH supporters believe this was a “conspiracy”/”set-up” on Teeth Maestro’s part so he can publish this piece?
Now be honest!
ohh bhai sahab
why you people make controversies and why do you make every thing suspicious.
Just a few minutes ago, I read a few comments of another post on your blog which said that if any one has any problem with Teet’s opinion, he can just leave and raise his own voice with his own blog. Guys thats exactly Ahmed Qurishi and Zaid Hamid is doing… They are running their own blogs and TV shows… So do you have any problem with them??
They are pro-musharraf and a few of you are calling him CIA agent… I damn care whoever he is , but if he is financed by pro-Mush elements then what is the guarantee that you are not paid by anti- Mush elements ???
And one more question , All you wrote in this article seriously looks highly exaggerated, fantasied and theoretical…
I wonder how could you even get his emails?.. You must be look for a job in a Spy agency, awesome work ….
PLEASE I WOULD REQUEST ALL OF YOU TO GIVE ME THE REFERENCE OF WHAT WRONG HE HAS SAID IN BRASSTRACKS… I AM SERIOUSLY CURIOUS ABOUT THAT…
BUT AGAIN DON’T NARRATE IMAGINARY STORIES BUT I WANT SOME REAL PROOF,….
MAY GOD HELP PAKISTAN
PAKISTAN ZINDABAD
I know Zaid Hamid since more than 20 years. We were students together in Engineering University (N.E.D). I have been keenly following his programs “Brass Tacks” on TV as well as through web. I was pretty sure that the path he has chosen, by bieng bold and straight forward, an anti-propoganada and efforts to de-fame him would soon commence. I am not surprised by this misleading article because this is one of the lame efforts to let him down. This will never happen INSHA ALLAH and Zaid will be more and more popular and we Muslims will get further enlightened by virtue of his ideas and efforts.
@ALI HAMMAD
“PLEASE I WOULD REQUEST ALL OF YOU TO GIVE ME THE REFERENCE OF WHAT WRONG HE HAS SAID IN BRASSTRACKS… I AM SERIOUSLY CURIOUS ABOUT THAT”
Again we have someone not reading what has been said. See @Fraz’s latest comment just above yours where he is talking again about “Zeitgeist”. Of course he posted about it before but why bother reading, right?
@Nota, @Fraz
Have you see the first 40 mins of Zeitgist? the first part is against Christ and tried to prove that there is no God. Tell me how should Zaid Hamid post that rubbish info on his site?
I request everyone to see Zeitgist first then write their thoughts.. dont just try to make suspicions out of everything.

@someone
“Have you seen the first 40 mins of Zeitgist? the first part is against Christ and tried to prove that there is no God. Tell me how should Zaid Hamid post that rubbish info on his site.”
Yes I have. Well no one is asking him to post it on it site (but pretending that part doesn’t exist is disingenuous on ZZH’s part). But what I find interesting is that he has no problem accepting the the other parts of the same peoples research without any questions. He not only accepts it but presents it as his own and, like Fraz said, “watch how he twists the movie” adding him mumbo-jumbo. That is the only problem I have for that is dishonesty on his part.
@Khan
I dont have seen the book or even any page of it……this page is on http://www.dictatorshipwatch.com
When I saw this news item,I recall the news which I read in that days paper, when it was published.
Further the news says that video of his speach is in police record.
Why I am convinced? Simply because the author of this controversy did not make up a story….there is a news item, which i read years back.
As I said, its my personal opinion, you can make up your mind as you like.
@ Sohail and Ali hammad :
Dear Brothers i agree with your comments …as i said Ealrier …” the negative forces have started thier work against this Honest Man” ….i will worsen each day…
But then Again the : the Truth shall Prevail”
i have Listened to this man from the first to the last of his programmes i have all his collection …of videos ever recorded…and i didnot find a single statement that will reflect that he doesnot believe in the last Prophet Muhammad (SAW)…nor did any of his statement points to Creating discord among Muslims ..all he is doing is Giving hope to the nation in these harsh times.so Y all the fuss…!!!
if u guys have some brains and time: y not have a blog for hamid MIRs(REmember MIR) ….and Dr Shahid’s and AMil sahabss….doing thier best to create discord and tension.
Wassalam and Dua
This guy belongs to the SUFI CULT–which has deep roots in ISI and Paki Military
Thats why he didn’t admit any short-comings of Pakistan Army and ISI.
He balatantly denied any wrong doings by Pakistan Army in East-Pakistan (now Bangladesh).
I think ISI wants to promote him so that Islamic minded crowd would stop supporting Taliban and AQ against Pakistan Army and ISI.
See how GREEN SUFI supports him
http://cyclewalabanda.blogspot.com/2008/10/who-is-zaid-hamid.html
See Green Sufi supporint him, only because he belongs to the SUFI cult…
Green Sufi
the post above by ‘Sohel’ reminds me of another “khalifah” of yussuf kazzab who was also an nedian and an old associate of zaid zaman. i have a strong feeling that this is the same ‘Sohel’. This guy was married to the daughter of a renowned industrialist in karachi who was forced to sleep with yusuf kazzab – a practise ordered by that mal’oon kazzab for all his closest followers. this was also reported by takbeer, ummat and other newspapers during the court proceedings. his father-in-law was amongst the petitioners against the kazzab as he wanted to get the custody of his daughter and sought divorce from Sohel. If someone could get hold of the book “Fitnah Yusuf Kazzab” it carried all the details about it.
@The Lone Ranger
“i have a strong feeling that this is the same ‘Sohel’”
Get ready to duck 🙂
I came across these interesting comments about Mr. Zaid, posted by one of his followers……i am totally speechless!

” assalaam-u-aliakum.I love brass tacks team especially zaid zaman hamid sahib. i think he is the chosen one to lead our country in the global ummat army of Hazrat Isa {A.S} Imam Mehdi against the evil army of dajjal. in that case I volunteer to sign up as the 1st man in our islamic army
May Allah help us in finding the pure light towards His (Allah’s) path. I have done some research (internet) specially in the area of economy after watching Zaid Hamid’s economic terrorism. Most of the things he said is verifiable like US federal reserve, Paper money, Rothschild family and their influence, Bank of England, BCCI conspiracy, systematic eradication of gold as the primary trust behind the paper currency, working of IMF and World bank along with their influence on international Politics, Food Genocide Plan by Henry Kassinger, Free masonic influence on world politics and Balfour Declaration.
If he has collected these issues from internet and has complied them to present it to the people of Pakistan then whats wrong with that. Yes, I agree, if he is currently pursuing his previous motives than he is a fitna but if he is sincere, which seems so, then we should listen to that guy as a well-wisher critic.
I agree with people on this forum wanting a clear explanation about his past and his current motives and activities.
May Allah help us in finding those righteous people who unite us under one leadership and change the life of every creature on the face of this earth.
Bilal Abdul Mujeeb,
You really want to find the rightous people or you just making a dua for the sake of dua and not really meaning it?
I doubt your intentions and my intentions. When we need a job, we strive for it, we complete 4 years of degree, polish our resuem and even travel 7 seas to find the job we want and when it comes to finding the truth, we want CNN or GEO to present us the truth so that we don’t have to step out of our drawing room.
So my question is, do you really seek the rightous people or you are just making a dua for the sake of dua, like me.
The truth is we don’t want the truth, but we want to debate personalities that are presented to us as *leaders*.
We are given a varied-choice and we are told that we are free to choose what we like from the options presented to us, any thing other than the presented choices is taboo.
Looks like you have run out of productive things to do, so now you start throwing mud on a man who is respectable for his beliefs and his views, which in fact are Islamic views.
My father knew Zaid Hamid when he was in NED college Karachi, and the association b/w him and your mythical zaid zaman is another way for guys like you to get cheap publicity to your blog. It is also very hypocritical of you to accuse him of being a member of an unislamic cult when you yourself defend qadianis on this blog and try to impress upon people that they are innocent of any apostasy.
As for his friendship with Abidullah Jan, Mr. jan and Mr.Hamid are some of the few courageous people in our country who have the guts to say it like it is and tell Pakistanis the bitter truth about the problems of our nation and Ummah. Why are you so concerned about his finances and his tv channel. Nobody asks you how much money you make from this blog by talking nonsense.
Yes, people do have the right to question public figures, but dishonorable people like you maestro, definitely do not have the right to mudslinging. Zaid Hamid will continue his struggle to wake up our nation, and I hope you find a useful cause as well.
Today, Pakistan is burning. From terrorism to economic problems, our inability to make good decisions about our leaders has set our nation on fire. While there is much talk about the ‘common man’ and his needs, no one asks the ‘common man’ if they have a solution to our problems.
We as Pakistanis have shown in our history that we have always risen to the call of our nation, be it during wars, be it natural disasters, or in times of need: Pakistanis have always answered the call of Pakistan. Today, that same call has come forward from this nation. The silent majority, the foot soldiers need to bind together to save Pakistan, for if we do not do it now, there may not be a Pakistan tomorrow to save.
There was once a time when a people were in search of a nation. Now that nation is in search of its people. Will you answer the call?
Take Back Pakistan is a citizens-only initiative to give the Silent Majority a voice. Our voice is regularly misportrayed by the Media and by politicians; our voice is regularly unheard. We believe to change that, it takes an individual with a love for their country, and belief that they can make a difference.

Dr Sajeel aka abdul wahid was tha main host of yusuf kazzab in karachi during 90s.
All the old cult members had already begun to make a tempo conforming to their perverted beliefs. There is no debate in fact what Zaid Zaman says in Brasstacks. May be its 100% true. But its a question of our religious beliefs. What they have programmed in the backend, it should be exposed. The people who are defening ZZ hamid now are either members of his cult in Islamabad or simple, patriotic, ultimate optimists who just don’t want to believe that their hero will become a villian in the drop scene.
@Jawed Iqbal
“As for his friendship with Abidullah Jan, Mr. jan and Mr.Hamid are some of the few courageous people in our country who have the guts to say it”
Thank you for proving my point about the supporters of ZZH not having the common sense to read and comprehend what is being said. Were you capable of that, you would have noticed that the biggest critic of ZZH is none other than Abidullah Jan.
Slam
I appreciated to zaid hamid for protecting Pakistan. creating issues like nations interest, if zaid hamid need any volonter or help for cause of Pakistan we always redy to —-.his opinion and facts about taliban is ver clear and based on reality.
may allah almighty help to zaid hamid for their cause
Thanks
@nota
what a nonsense and ignorant claim you make about Abidullah jan being his biggest critic. What are the sources of your insane rhetoric. And the person who mentioned that all supporters of Zaid hamid are uninformed or somehow his supporters, well he should know that no smear campaign will stop this movement of taking back our country. There are people like you in every country. And the people who expose the truth, like Alex Jones & Ron Paul in the U.S or Harun Yahya in Turkey are labelled nutcases.
The sensible people of the world are awakening, and this rubbish about Zaid supporting a false prophet is a vain attempt from you guys to stop the movement of establishing Allah’s Deen on this planet.
Nota,
LOL, this guy Jawed Iqbal is making a fool of himself.
Well Zaid Hamid’s theories are not new. Dr Israr, Ford and the whole internet is filled with the protocols stuff.
Zaid Hamid and his gang hired a pappu chick, who was given dumb-questions to ask and so Zaid Hamid puts his talk with-out any credible questions answered.
What he is trying to do is divide the support of taliban and AQ. Which Musharraf tried hard but failed after the Lal Masjid incident. As a result there are two parts of Pakistani Taliban. One who are paid and supported by Pakistan Army and the other who are fighting against any one who would want to fight them.
Its an old lesson given by our Masters, divide and rule.
Zaid Hamid didn’t have the guts or courage to admit the faults of Pakistan Army. How can he say that Pakistan Army didn’t commit any attrocous activities in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).
I think Zaid Hamid is trying to save some Pak Army and ISI asses like Musharraf did in case of Dr Shazia

Jawed Iqbal once again proves my point about comprehension by stating “what a nonsense and ignorant claim you make about Abidullah jan being his biggest critic. What are the sources of your insane rhetoric.” He fails to see that Abidullah Jan is the guy most quoted in the article on top; it is Abidullah Jan who gives us the email exchange with ZZH; it is Abidullah Jan who posted the scans of the Yousaf Kazzab book; it is Abidullah jan who wrote several detailed articles exposing ZZH.
They also fail to notice DictatorshipWatch.com site is run by none other than Abidullah Jan, and it says that right on top of the site (“Edited by Abid Ullah Jan” to be exact).
@Jawed Iqbal
Still claim “what a nonsense and ignorant claim”?
(Somehow I think you will despite the above)
@iPakistani
Speaking of “Zaid Hamid’s theories are not new”, wish these m*r*ns would realize that “The Protocols…” were first published in 1903 (and the original manuscript is a lot older). Henry Ford wrote his articles “to assert that there was a Jewish conspiracy to control the world” around 1920 (They were published under the title “The International Jew: The World’s Problem”), regarding “Modern Money Mechanics”, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago itself started publishing it in the 1950’s I believe.
As nota says, Henry Ford wrote “The International Jew” in the 1920’s. Mills’ “The Power Elite” was written in the 1950’s. The internet has been filled with this stuff from day one. Zeitgeist compiled alot of it into one (which Zaid Hamid, being a deceitful liar erased 40 minutes of).
All these conspiracy theories – whether with foundation or not – have been dealt with to death by dozens of western based researchers. Zaid Hamid, being a pathological liar, takes those theories and without offering anything new, anything of his own, uses them to claim that everything happening in the West was all in effect a conspiracy against Islam. I am not sure where freaks like Hamid and his supporters get the idea that a group of people, who neither have the ability nor the brains to make something as useless as an 18th century plough can be seen as such a threatening entity by the West.
Who teaches Zaid Hamid this bullkrap? Why would anyone want to hatch a conspiracy against ‘Islam’ when all these western powers have to do is operate these Muslims via remote controls or simply go take over these states at will? What insane logic convinces Zaid Hamid that Muslims are a power worth reckoning?
Last I check, every economic review, every prediction, every analysis mentions China and India as potential powers. They mention Russia re-emerging. They mention Europe trying to become a center of gravity. They are impressed with what Brazil and Latin America will be able to do. They even mention Africa as the new sphere of influence!! No where ever mentions Zaid Hamid’s much trumpeted ‘Muslim bloc’ unfortunately as being anything other than a nuisance value. OK, an extremist nuisance value.
How many of you (critic of Zaid Hamid) knew about these conspiracy theories before he told it to general masses on his program?
How many times does he issued a statement against ISLAM and Pakistan? He has always mentioned that Inshallah Nothing is going to Happen to Pakistan and Allah will destroy the planning of infidels (West, Israel and India). He has categorically condemn the policies of Musharraf on war of terrorism and the real mentality of Pakistani Taleban. He has also criticized the policies of Shaukat Aziz, whom he called puppet of IMF and world bank, installed to destroy the economy of Pakistan. He has also condemned the nature in which Musharraf has given freehand to Shaukat Aziz to make Pakistan a consumer based economy (everyone taking loan to afford luxuries of life which they cannot get it without loan). He has also mentioned that Government of Pakistan should focus on agriculture because this sector can be improved with little effort and can give Pakistan a strong backbone to survive in economic crunch. He was absolutely right about the American, Israeli and Indian influence in Baluchistan and FATA. He also mentioned that we are going to face a very hard time in the future but inshallah will turn the table around.
All the illogical critics of Zaid Hamid are bunch of Morons and Screwed-up who are addicted to westren ideology.
I have tried to follow through the whole scandal but fail to see where exactly is the link between Zaid Hamid of brasstacks with that of the Yusuf kazzab. Showing a name on a scanned picture is not really “undeniable” proof to prove all the plethora of allegations. Is that it or am I missing something?
@Bilal Abdul Mujeeb
“How many of you (critic of Zaid Hamid) knew about these conspiracy theories before he told it to general masses on his program?”
I personally have been following them for 20 some years. I have read “Protocols of Elders of Zion”, “The International Jew: The World’s Problem”, “Modern Money Mechanics” (among many others) and can email you a copy (pdf) if you so desire.
“All the illogical critics of Zaid Hamid are bunch of Morons and Screwed-up who are addicted to westren ideology.”
Scanning the comments above I don’t think there was a single “illogical” criticism of ZZH; Illogical supporters plenty 🙂
Priceless
Justice Dogar
Lets leave the BS aside. What he was what he did is of no concern. What he is preaching is the right thing.
The day i hear Zaid sahib speak and preach the falsehood, i shall make a judgment myself.
Leave the others too judge themselves too. Dont spread Sh*t around.
This is what is usually done to bring down popularity of an individual especially when he is speaking the truth. Be with him as long as he is tellingt he truth, dont be an id*ot.
Once he has given a rebuttal, the case is closed.
@Abrar Rauf
“What he is preaching is the right thing.”
According to you. But then according to you he is a Mehdi of sorts and can speak no wrong.
“The day i hear Zaid sahib speak and preach the falsehood, i shall make a judgment myself.”
Don’t waste your time. If you haven’t seen the falsehood yet, I doubt you ever will.
“Once he has given a rebuttal, the case is closed”
Rebuttal? Where?
Here is another person sending an email to Zaid Hamid and Zaid’s response.
Note his not answering any of the questions posed to him but instead responding with the same email posted above.
Dear Zaid,
I have seen most of your programs and believe many things you say are correct but I also sometimes feel that you exaggerate things are lot. I am not going in details but I have following questions. Please respond these questions otherwise people will be in more confusion.
1. What is your relation with Yousaf Kazzab if you don’t have a relation please explain people what you were doing at that time with a solid proof, because now it’s a not a personal matter. You are an opinion leader who is influencing people of Pakistan and you are answerable in front of these people. Every human being on earth is questionable except the prophets.
2. Your company provide security services consultancy to all leading banks of Pakistan, if you are against these so called Zionist people and economic terrorist why your major source of income is banks.
3. Who sponsors your program on TV1news, as a person of business community I know that broadcasting a program series is around half a million business. Who is funding for this.
4. You spend a lot of time with Brinks Security, from very reliable source I know that Brinks Company is totally funded by Israeli and owned by Jews please comment on this too.
5. My last question is, around 150 billion Rupees are invested in agriculture sector each year, from your speech about gold currency had a worse effect on banking and creating rumors do you think this was the right time to speak about it, or you had some personal grudge about your clients.
Thanks for be patient but this is our right and need to be answered.
He just won’t answer any of the above questions. I am sure. He will only continue to curse like khala khairan. 😀
Seems the world has gone upside down here as well… The burden of proof is normally on the accuser not the defendant. What proof has been provided by the accusers so far? Lets list these:
1. A scanned paper (what is the source; could be faked!)
2. An exchange of emails (any independent confirmation?)
3. Other “links” (what’s the relevance?)
Come on people! be sensible. I ask his opponents to be careful. If you are declaring him guilty on the basis of these “proofs” then believe me this will just make him stronger. Truth devours falsehood.
I still await to see any undeniable proof for the allegations.
