My heart bleeds when I see all this ill-informed Pakistani's support the likes of Zaid Hamid, Ahmed Qureshi, Shahid Qureshi and other such conspiracy theorists. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with this show or the entire Wake-Up series, but there is something rotten about Zaid Zaman's hidden agenda.
Wake-Up Pakistan;
Zaid Hamid is an ISI mouth-piece. His one-point agenda is to promote the image of the Pakistan Army and to justify expansion and increments in it's defense budget. How? Raw-Mossad-Cia are going to killl us, OH NO!. Think about this when you watch on of his more defense oriented talks. He lies through his teeth, all of his claims, all of his predictions are always wrong. The army, like other Pakistani institutions, is not entirely 'PAK', it has it's shortcomings and we should realize that. The whole Zia period who the darkest in Pakistan's history. Like I say "Pak Fauj tuje SALAM!, per sirf sarhad per'.
Finally, let me give you guys an example.
Two-years ago Hamid Mir went to the tribal belt of Pakistan (Waziristan) and came back with the shocking news of the whole Taliban control, their Qila's, the lack of security forces presence and the ever so 'cosmetic' limited operations to eliminate the 'extremely low' Taliban presence. Here is what he said:
YouTube - Hamid Mir in Wazeeristan . and
RIGHTlY SO, because a year later as we all know it turned out that in reality Taliban did actually exist there and had a heavy presence. Recently (in Nov 2009)
30,000 army personnel were sent in that area and ISPR reported a estimated
15,000 strong Taliban force was being fought. So to my understanding Hamid Mir was right.
Now in 2008 Zaid Hamid's comment on this statement of Hamid Mir's (in defense of Pakistan Army of course)
YouTube - Schizophrenic Zaid Hamid calls Hamid Mir a CIA agent calling Mir a
CIA agent and any Taliban presence 'A jhoot and khurafat'. Which of course was an outright lie.
There are a dozen more examples of such statements of Zaid Hamid which have absolutely no backing or any sort of weight, ranging from Amar Singh (Ajmal Kasab) to Quaid-e-Azams vision of a 'Khilafat' in Pakistan.
Again here Hamid works for his one-point agenda to promote the Pakistan Army. There is nothing wrong with that, but that being at the expense of breading hate, antisemitism, anti-hinduism and against various other common military rivals of Pakistan. Calling a Hindu 'paleet' is just not right, not according to Islam nor according to Pakistan law. This hate breading is indeed very dangerous. He may say 9 excellent things about Islam and Pakistan but his 10th point will always be a agenda-based pro-Pakistan army comment to sway public opinion.
May Allah bless these people with guidance to the right direction.
) is that he was pardoned by a deal from the ISI inexchange for his speaking skills.
