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

Why don't you show us the video atleast of Yousuf Ali hope fully not the "doctored one".
I won't ask you to bring witnesses because people can be bought and sold like chickens in Pakistan. But If you want bring some witnesses on Television.
I am not going to say the same for Mirza gulam Ahmad. But I don't think Ahmadi or Qadiyani should be discriminated against because they are a minority. They should be given equal rights. And if they want to call themselves "muslim" then we should let them. If they feel safe in being called muslims. Thats where I would disagree with our "Corrupt judicial system".

I have an idea everybody.
Why don’t we make a show Jasarat News paper vs. Brasstacks!
where we bring all accusers on one side!
All defendants on the other side!
Have few episodes of on which we discuss everything we think appropriate!
How is this idea for everybody!
But we must have all witnesses on this show!
Thanks and God bless.
“@Arshad Khan
I agree with you. We should have show they should also go on air. For your information our witnesses are those who were once with ZZH and yousaf Kazzab and who later sent Kazzab to Jail and then to his destination. Our witnesses are the same who has appeared in court in Lahore. Plz plz finalize it but I will finalize the same when ZZH himself from his official brasstack email confirm that he is gona do that.
I can bring at least 4 witnesses ( all these witnesses I Know them from 15 years or more), who were previously assocaited with yousaf kazzab and is willing to testify against Zaid Zaman Kazzib.
Please tell me time and date of this show

Please see the attached document which is the front and back cover of the court verdict against Yusuf Kazzab published in book form in October 2000. The foreword is written by Ismail Qureshi Advocate who was one of the senior prosecution lawyers in the case. It clearly mentions the name of ZZ Hamid (Zaid Zaman Hamid) as the kazzab’s so-called “sahabi” whose letter to the editor was published on 13 August 2000 in Dawn after the court verdict which was issued on 05 August 2000. This clearly proves the association of ZZ Hamid with Yusuf Kazzab. The detailed court verdict of around 250 pages will be uploaded on the net shortly. Almost every prosecution witness has mentioned the name of ZZ Hamid as the “khalifa” or one of the Kazzab’s most prominent “sahabis”.
http://www.dictatorshipwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/Judgment.pdf
So Zaid Zaman should also be hanged till death like his master yousaf Kazaab otherwise we will carry on his evil mission
bhaiyon aur saboot bhi dain jis se sabit ho jay ke ye wohi ZZ Hamid hai. aur gawahun ki moovie kab ayegi?
@ Arif
Thank you for your generosity with regards to providing us with so called “Proof” (I guess for the guilt of same Zaid Hamid we have seen on TV (Television) or in my case internet)!
This is what I got out of it after reading it:
1. It may have written by Mr. Ismeel Qureshi since his name is stated in the end of the “foreword”!
2. DAILY NEWS OF LAHORE published an article on 13 Aug 2000 which according to the writer (Ismeel Qureshi) was ” true distortion of true version of the case (the case of Yousuf Ali)” Also on the same date Z.Z. Hamid (we don’t know if he is the one we have seen on TV or in my case on the internet) wrote similar statements regarding Yousuf Ali.
3. The allegations by the writer such as ” his (Yusuf Ali) admission in the cross examination by me (Writer of this article or Mr Ismeel Qureshi) all the prophets were appointed as khalifas”, “He (Yusuf Ali) is khalif-i-azam”, Yusuf ali’s claim to be director general of WAMY and etc., and writer’s stating that Yusuf Ali denied all claims to prophethood to “save his neck” don’t add up or do not seem to be true. They suggest to me that Yusuf Ali may have been mentally ill.
4. He should not have been sentenced to death after denying his earlier alleged claims of prophethood.
5. Nowhere as you allege in this article does the writer suggest “ZZH (Zaid Zaman Hamid) as kazzabs so called “sahabi”” or “ZZ Hamid as the Khalifa” (I think you have all that coming up from a trustworthy writer soon in a form book (story)!)
6. Last but not least this article or “foreword” only proves that I should be called “Arshad Kazzab” from now on. since I have written in favor of Zaid Hamid (the one we have seen on TV or internet in my case).
Once again,
May Allah guide us to the right path. Ameen

@Altaf
are you nutts?
you are arguing that paper and gold currency are equal since both only represent money?
dude, the value of paper of a 100 rupee note is hardly even 1 rupee if the system falls since its a small piece of paper.
the value of a gram or 10 grams of gold stay almost the same regardless of system or geographical locaion.
gold coins hold value no matter where they are taken… this is because gold can be used for many things unlike paper.
your pc processor contain gold wires, gold is used in jewelery. it has an intrinsic value. you cant burn gold… it doesnt react under normal conditions… blah blah blah
many reasons.
gold currency value stays the same all over the world and cannot be manipulated for personal benefit in trade that is why it was abandoned by the west. to suck our blood
gold and silver both were used by muslims always, for this same reason that it cannot devalue.
The Islamic Dirham is a specific weight of pure silver equivalent to 3.0 grams. A chicken at the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him) cost one dirham, and today, 1,400 years later, a chicken costs the same. convert 3.0 grams of silver to rupee and you will see what i mean

2. DAILY NEWS OF LAHORE nay 13 Aug 2000 ko ek “mazmoon” ya “article” jis ko Ismeel Qureshy nay apnay “Foreword ya Agaz-i-kalam” main ya farmaya kay ya (article ya mazmoon jo DAILY NEW OF LAHORE may shaya hua tha) Yousuf ali kay muqadmay ki ulat pher (distortion) thi, aur kuch isi tarah say isi tarikh par Z.Z. hamid (Pata nahi ka yah wohi Zaid hamid jin ko hum TV ya internet par dekh chukay hain ya dekhtay hain ya koi aur ha) nay DAWN kay khutoot kay section main likhi.
3. Un ilzamaat may say jo is “Agaz-e-kalam” kay musanif yani Mr Ismeel Qureshy nay Yusuf Ali par kiya un main say chand ek ye hain:
A. Yusuf ali nay sawalat kay doran jawab kaha kay tamam “prophets” ya “nabi” ya “rasool” khalifa muqarrar kiye gaye.
B. wo (Yusuf Ali) khalifa-i-Azam hai.
C. Yusuf ali na dawa kiya kay wo “WAMY” ka director hai.
D. wagaira wagaira
E. Musanif (Mr Ismeel Qureshy) nay kaha kay Yusuf Ali nay “apni gardan bachanay kay liye” wo tamam daway raad kar diye ek time par.
Yeh tamam batain (Ilzamat) muja sach maloom nahi hota par ho sakta hai hon. Agar sach hain to ho sakta hai Yusuf ali shayad zahni mariz tha.
4. Es “suboot” yani kay “Foreword” kay parhnay kay bad mera to yeh khayal hai kay Yusuf Ali ko SAZAE MAUT NAHI MILA CHAHIYE THI kyoon kay akhir main us nay apnay tamam “pegambari ya nabowat” kay daway ya ilzamat ko rad kiya tha jo us nay kiye ya us par lagae gaye Mr. Ismeel Qurseshy kay mutabiq.
5. Es “suboot” main kahi par bhi ye nahi likha Z.Z. Hamid ko Yusuf Ali nay “Sahabi” ka lakab diya tha. Magar muja yakeen hai kay (Arif bhai) ap yakeenan koi kitab (ya phir kahani) lanay walay hai bohat jald kisi bohat hi kabilay bharosa insan ki internet par, ham sab ko kisi baray fitnay say bachanay kay liye (Shayad).
6. Es “suboot” ko parh kar to muja yeh lagta hai kay koi bhi kisi say hamdardi kay taur par koi neki na karay, kyoon kay ho sakta hai us ko “Kazzab” ka laqab mil jaye. Jab kay muja yeh nahi pata ka “kazzab” hai kya bala. Magar yeh muja “Terrorism” ya “Terrorist” say milti julti koi bala lag rahi hai.
Khair har kisi ko bolnay ka haq hai.
Mujay maaf farmiye ga agar kisi koi meri koi bat buri lagi
Allah ham sab kay gunahon ko maf farmaye aur hamain seedha rashta dikhaye aur achay amal karnay ke taufiq farmaye. Ameen.

Moot point
The right thing
Pakistan today is not what it was yesterday and let’s face it, it has changed for the worse. However, it is still our beloved and beloved it shall remain to people who know its worth. For those who intend to or have already disowned it must be feeling the tinge of its hurt right now as they are being questioned today about Pakistan; even those who disassociated from it more than 30 years ago.
Today, I mean to revoke that and those, who and which are naïve, confused or have already formed an opinion. A person living in Pakistan, labelled as the most dangerous destination of the world, needs some precautions. If we try to put one label to all of Pakistan’s problems, we cannot. The common man fears deprivation of basic rights, analysts and critics fear a future much worse than that of Afghanistan and Iraq and the rulers fear loss of power. As our country turns into a bleeding sore to which any ‘treatment’ just exacerbates the problem, a big question is what should or should not a person do, think or say to be a part of the solution instead of the problem?
The youth I believe are pivotal to this sense of awareness as after all they betray us every time we find out another teenager suicide bomber responsible.
Having said this and owing to my personal continual falling in and out of certain theories that I discover (there are many) about what the right thing is, I have out of frustration mainly, found the necessity to outline certain truths that are irrefutable and must be held like a rope in this storm so as never to loose our way to doom.
Why should anyone take what I say with the faith that I honour it with is, now, the basic question that must arise. However, I don’t intend to proceed and answer it or justify what I have to say merely because what I will say would be (I believe) self-explanatory.
I have come across historians, analysts and critics who adeptly link the exploitation of Islam to the geopolitics and strategic manipulation that is happening in this region today to what our late Mr Zia ul Haq did. I have read how student politics allowed in the liberal regime of Mr Z A Bhutto divided our youth into factions that ultimately cemented the disunity amongst us and what sort of groups were born then. I have listened to Islamists and our Muslim heroes, the latest being Mr Zaid Hamid who has a young audience to motivate.
So much so that one can’t even decide if the war on terror is our war, was it forced onto us due to faulty foreign policy or is America the terrorist? What I want to point out in everything that I mention is the fact that if I’ve heard a convincing theory, it has been inevitably accompanied by an equally immaculate rebuttal. I was born after many of this was done and said. How am I to know or judge, what am I to perceive? While I think that some people would also wonder as to why, in the first place do I want to know anything at all? (My sister is always curious). Hence, people like my sister must know that if we don’t have a direction of thought, we can be talked into anything, which is not what should happen.
That being said, I would elaborate on the charismatic television personality of Mr. Zaid Hamid whose interview on the radio was my first acknowledgement of him. Mr. Hamid is a defence analyst, has a position in the ISPR (Inter Services Public Relations- the people who know it all) and has been an Afghan mujahid when he was a student at the NED University. Today, Zaid Hamid hosts a TV show, Brasstacks and during the month of Ramazan he also appeared in the ‘History-lesson show’ Ye Ghazi both programs aired on TVone. It is said that those who forget history are themselves forgotten by history itself.
Hence, I appreciated Mr. Hamid’s efforts to revive the passion amongst Muslims by enumerating the sacrifices of our heroes. I also appreciated the fact that he kept on reminding us about the what and the why of Pakistan first. Mr. Hamid also said that Jihad and its true meaning had never been so cruelly misconstrued as it is today. Although he had been an armed Mujahid in his time, he demonstrates the youth of Pakistan today to not fall prey to what military jihad is referred to today but to continue jihad through developing honesty and trustworthiness in ourselves.
He reminds us that despite the fact that the world today does not have crusades and the distinction between enemies and friends is not so clear, we mustn’t do everything that America tells us and question everything before owning it. What I perceive here is that truly today nothing is black and white. Hence, we must not take everything that we hear or never mark a source worthy of blind trust. As for my nomadic ideology (as they say of the young) that made me feel passionate about this new person registered as Mr. ZZ Hamid, the more I looked him up the more nearer I came to that usual conclusion when I chanced upon evidence that linked even Mr. Zaid Hamid to the false prophet Yousaf Kazzab who believed that the Noor of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) lives on in other men after his death (Na-auzobilah). What is base then about what Mr. Hamid is doing when he sounds so correct all the time? It is believed that his motives are questioned when he allegedly aims to recruit followers in his school of thought.
This is just one example of the many that I, and many others I am sure, come across day after day which cumulatively diminishes the little hope that people like me have. When it feels like the law of the jungle is what is applicable in Pakistan today and that there is no straightforward fact to look up to, one must choose. The choice that I want to propagate that cannot be challenged is choosing the right thing. It may not always be very easy but sticking to a set of self-defined (though inspired by various people) set of rules is one way to solve this situation. I do not mean to judge what anybody has to say or what anybody is doing because it is high time that I glance at myself and criticise what I am doing. For people who are naïve, confused or who already have formed an opinion, I want them all to do just the same. If the right thing comes out of the mouth of anybody, we must be able to filter the parts that tell something irrefutable and then own them. For instance, just remember the lines that I say that include the bold font in this article (which I dare are irrefutable and clear), the rest is open to question. If might is right in Pakistan, we intend to and will make right our might.
@ Yousuff Ali’s case is typical of Pakistani Justice
which has not changed her attitude since 500 years,
always favouring stronger and punishing weaker, as
colonial heritage, After sacrificing at the alter of
religious jehalat of masses some one who denied the
accusitions until his last breadth is still haunted
even if he was murdered by the jail authorities with
collaboration of their complices religious hate-mongers,
Famous ” dictatorshipwatch.com ) Ismeel Qureshys
I was reading attentively the remarks made by
Mr Arshad Khan, atleast he analysed according to his
observations and I also approve those, the question is
WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN SILENCING ZAID HAMID AND
BRASSTACKS ALL TOGETHER ?
AFTER WATCHING ATTENTIVELY ALL HIS VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE
I AM SURE THE FOLLOWING ARE INTERESTED IN SILENCING
ZAID HAMID :
The BATILANS
INDIAN RAW
ISRAELI MOSAD
UK’S MI6
AFGHAN’S KHAD
TAKFIRI TALIBANS
TRAITORS CLASSICAL
ULEMA-E-SOU & RELIGIOUS CHARLATANS
MISELLANEOUS
COME ON, WE SHOULD STOP THIS NONSENSICAL AND
SILLY JOKE RUN BY BEARDOS SECULAR INDIAN AGENTS.
WHY DON’T WE TRY TO GET RID OF THIS SECULAR GOVT.
WHO IS NOTHING BUT A SOPHISTCATED BROTHEL MANAGERS, WITH
THEIR FIXERS.
@Arsshad kahn
Arshad bhai lagta hai aap bhi confuse hain agar gawah samne ajayen to masla hal ho jay mere aik azeez is bat par tayyar hain ke wo jasarata ke dafter camera lekar pohanch jayneg sathiyon ke saath aur uski moovie banayenge aur phir use youtube par bhi dalenge agar ye log tayyar haun to time bata dain aur us time par is blog ke zareye sabko kahung jo bhi ana chahe wo bhi ajaye us din jis din ye log time denge. agar dain to! take sari confusion door ho jay. bohat shukriya.
The same analogy makes it easy for us to know who are the beneficiaries of Brasstacks and Zaid Hamid:
1. Uniformed murderers of thousands of innocent Muslims in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Those who burnt our sisters with phosphorous in Lal Masjid.
2. The ones who have renewed slave trade in the 21st century by selling Dr Afia Siddiqui, Moazzam Beg and several sons and daughters of Islam to the crusaders against a few thousand dollars each.
3. Rafay Kashmiri and the illegitmate offspring of the likes of General Rani and Aunty Shamim who are the elites of Pakistan these days.
dear rafay!
this matter is not simple as it seems but little
bit complicated.there are some religious and honest witnesses with high integrity and credibility who testified against yousuf kazzab and zaid zaman hamid.as you can see in the following link
http://www.jasarat.com/2008/10/24/columns/details/02.gif
His integrity and sincierity are being under question because of allegations on:
1) his association with yousf kazzab
2) his association with ISI
Serious questions were asked but we are still waiting for answers
like @ARIF asked:
1. Kya Yusuf Ali ne Noor-e-Muhammad (SAW) ka “libas” hone ka dawa kiya thha aur apne mannay walon ko sahabi-e-rasool kaha thha, jis mein aap bhi shamil thhay?
Did Yousaf Ali proclaimed himself to be the “libas” of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) and called his followers, including yourself, “Sahabi-e-rasool?
2. Kya Yusuf Ali ne aap ko apna khalifa namzad kiya thha?
Did Yousaf Ali appointed you as his Khalifa?
3. Kya aap ne Yusuf Ali ki saza ke khilaf siyasatdanon aur ulema se rabtay naheen kiye aur us ka case adalat mein naheen lara?
Did you not contacted politicians and Ulema to contest Yousaf Ali’s sentence in the court and didn’t you fight his case in the court?
4. Aap Yusuf Ali ki taleemat se kab taeb huay?
When did you turned back from the teachings of Yousaf Ali?
5. Kya aap iqrar karte hain ke Yusuf Ali kazzab fasiq thha aur usay Lahore High Court ne saza-e-maut ka jo faisla sunaya thha wuh durust thha?
Do you testify that Yousaf Ali Kazzab was a Fasiq and the Lahore High Court decision in his case was right?
but these question remained unanswered inspite tons of arguments in favour of zaid hamid
also there are some QUESTION posted by @nota regarding his association with ISI as follow:
) Did Pakistani army commit any atrocities in East Pakistan?
2) Are all actions by Pakistani forces in FATA and Swat justified?
3) Has ISI ever committed a sin (kidnappings, murder, terrorist bombings to name a few)?
4) Are all the killings in Baluchistan by security forces justified?
5) All Baloch nationalists really foreign-supported agents as he claims?
6) Why does he lie about Gwadar hacing been sold to the British?
7) Was murder of Bugti by Musharraf justified?
8) Did Musharraf do any wrong?
9) Why doesn’t he give credit to the original researchers? Why is that not plagiarism?
10) If “evil global bankers” and evil corporations are the real enemies of Islam and Pakistan, then why does he seek them as his clients and offers them protection? How does that not make him an enemy of Islam and Pakistan?
and by @IM
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.

this matter is not black and white it require thorough analysis and answers of the above mentioned questions.
take care

@bios
1. I agree that there are beneficiaries of Brasstacks and Zaid Hamid. Beside the Army and ISI. We too are beneficiaries of his knowledge (Nobody ever came before in the way Zaid Hamid did talking against banking before and if he had a grudge against it (Banking sytem) for some reason he must have known that it was a suicide talking about “INTEREST BASED SYSTEM”. But I guess we have forgotten “INTEREST” OR “USURY” IS A WAR WITH ALLAH.
From a translation of Quran:
[2:276-280] GOD condemns usury, and blesses charities. GOD dislikes every disbeliever, guilty. O you who believe, you shall observe GOD and refrain from all kinds of usury, if you are believers. If you do not, then expect a war from GOD and His messenger. But if you repent, you may keep your capitals, without inflicting injustice, or incurring injustice. If the debtor is unable to pay, wait for a better time. If you give up the loan as a charity, it would be better for you, if you only knew.
2. I agree that many innocent muslims were killed in the operation of Lal Masjid. Army shouldn’t have crushed them with such force no matter what. But they started to kidnapp people (as I remember and I don’t know what else). I agree there is curruption with in the Army. It has been there for a long time and didn’t start after Zaid Hamid or Brasstacks came into the scene.
3. Any body involved in the slave trade as you put it should be punished to the “MAXIMUM”.
4. Corruption is prevalent in Pakistan its everywhere and we don’t even realize it when it shows up in front of our faces So how can you say that it only is between or because of the people you mentioned above (though I don’t know any of them really). RAFAY KASHMIRI specifically mentions that we should get rid of secular government so he must not be talking about himself is he? OR is he wrong in saying that?
5. If “ZAID HAMID” is doing buisness with Banks (If he was really a hypocrite as you say it he wouldn’t have put it on his website) it is because it is impossible to keep yourself self away from in this day and age. Just like I am guilty of putting my money in bank because I must to do daily buisness. Just like I am guilty and a hyporcrite because of keeping a credit card because it benefits the people who deal with “INTEREST”.
