World really needs Daniel Pipes

It is always difficult to write a piece on any personality as it is always pregnant with some controversy whether your intentions are good or bad. I was also in this dilemma before writing this article as this is going to address a personality whom some body love to hate and somebody as myself is one of them term him as one of signatures of this era. Lot has been written about him in European and American press but still he is not hot topic is Asian press. He is an authority on Middle Eastern politics as well politics on Islam. He has been termed by his critics as Islamophobe for his views on radical Islam. His website is one of the busiest websites in English language with thousands of keywords and one of the best platform for discussions on radical Islam and other topics which are usually don’t come out in open because of political correctness. I hope these are enough indications to reach the destination which goes to Dr Daniel Pipes. Dr Daniel Pipes is going to enter in almost his sixties next week on 9th September with completion of 58 years of his glorious life. Read more

Message Behind Jaipur Blast

On 13th of May when a beautiful and comparatively peaceful city nicknamed Pink city became latest target of terrorists it was no secret to anybody who are perpetrators. Within hours statements from Government of India came out blaming openly to foreign hands. This time niddle of suspicion was not only confined to notorious Pakistani agency ISI but another jihadi Islamist organization from Bangladesh was also under scanner. This organization has its strong base in Bangladesh and this jihadi organization is none other than HUJI. This reaction was very mechanical and there was nothing new in it. We have seen from last three years that after every terrorist attack Government has the same reaction that we will fight to this menace, it is an attempt to disturb communal harmony, we will not bow down to terrorist and it is an act by enemy of our nation . But government of India has not openly declared who are those enemies and what strategy they have to fight against them. Government is not going to answer these questions because our policy against terrorism has several lapses.
