Release Dr. Aafia Siddiqui
Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, disappeared 5 years ago along with her three children, has now been officially arrested by Americans. She has been taken to United States and will be prosecuted in US court on charges of attacking US Army Officials.
While we mourn for another daughter of Pakistan sold to Americans, we should also raise awareness about her inhuman captivity and demand her immediate release.
We can write letters to editors of local newspapers, send email to columnists and spread the word through your social networks. There are some important things to remember when writing these letters:
- Always be polite.
- Information should be factual and to the point.
- Quote appropriate sources (e.g. Amnesty International, BBC, Asian Human Rights Commission, Oxfam ect.)
- Do not discuss ideology.
- Give a little background
- Mention why you are concerned and why this issue affects everyone.
Last but not least, pray for her safety and good health.

I guess Einstien said something like this “very few feel with their own heart and think with their own mind”. I believe this is true. Human Phychology tends to believe what everone is believing and everyone is believing because it is shown on most of the channels. Its a fact that our people are used by some evil powers who like to see unrest, blood etc. for their own interests but it is also a fact that all terrorists are not muslims but all terrorists shown on media are muslims.
Just to further consolidate my point, a guy named shahzad was captured few days back with a “failed attempt to bomb”. All the media stood up and projected it in main headlines. A few days later a chtristian bombed (please note that not a failed attempt but bombed) an islamic center in US but no news came up. Even eastern media kept scilence. Please see teh following links for details
A Failed Attempt Traceable To Pakistan Is News, A Successful Attempt Traceable To Local American Terrorists? Who Cares.

I hope this will be enough for David or any other AMI/INDI etc. etc.

It’s always good to keep it in mind. indians are living in an over-populated, filth-ridden ”country” where 60% of the people dont even have toilets or access to water in their slums
it seems that as far as hindustan is concerned, they have enough terrorism within their own sand-box. Just today, 40+ indian soldiers/police were bombed in their bus by naxalite rebels. A few weeks back, same group slaughtered 76 policemen.
whole world can label us this and label us that. If they fail to identify the root causes of terrorism, what is the point of talking about it (and jointly fighting it) in the first place?
i blame the media too, as I also blame ours silence.

General: I’m almost sure that this guy David is an Indian, or an American of Indian origin. No white, black or brown American would refer to Pakistanis as “pakis”.

David: “almost all terrorists are muslims.”. Evidently you’ve never heard about Hindu terrorists in India, Tamil (mainly Hindu) terrorists in Sri Lanka, Tim McVeigh in the U.S., the Bader Meinhof gang in Germany, the Red Army in Japan, etc. The men who killed the Kennedy brothers were both Christians, as was the man who killed Olaf Palme, the Swedish Prime Minister. Some Muslims have turned to terrorism because their lands have been occupied, their women raped, their sons killed, and they have been evicted from the lands of their ancestors. Anyone who was treated as Dr. Aafia was would go insane. The jury should have taken this into consideration, but being deeply prejudiced against Muslims, it convicted her.
