Pakistan probably has its tongue tied with this recent development. In a shocking event, a Muslim academic from Europe has been buying airtime on CNN for the past two weeks to advertise his book titled Divide Pakistan to Eliminate Terrorism. The 15-second spot, which is aired every day, charges Pakistan with terrorist activities across the world and says the only way to stop this is to split the country into half dozen separate entities, including Sindhudesh, Jinnahpur, Balochistan and Pakhtunistan.
Syed Jamaluddin, the man describes himself as a British Citizen- Naturalized in UK and a chartered accountant with a degree in conflict management on the webiste www.dividepakistan.blogspot.com . What is more interesting is that the book seems to be sold openly on Amazon, a well known e-buying site, for $ 15.95!
On Amazon, he is described as
who wasan active writer on issues concerning Pakistan’s involvement in various terrorist activities in the South Asian region
forced to leave Pakistan after the military coup of General Musharraf in 1999.
About the book itself, the summary on Amazon reads:
Syed Jamaluddin’s vision to address issues related to combating terrorism emanating from Pakistan which have dramatically transformed the entire region into a systematically controlled network having vicious effects to the global peace
It goes on to say that the book gives an in depth analysis about the role of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Tablighi Jamat which are involved in producing future terrorists.
The book also claims to provide:
specific information about the actual tactics of ISI and Tablighi Jamat and their strategy to disrupt the international peace in the name of Islamisation of the world through holy war and martyrdom
When asked about the same, well known academics in Washington’s think-tank circuit claimed to know nothing about him. Indian officials too said they had no idea of the book or the author. This certainly is one of those queer news reports you come across that you can’t help but read out of sheer curiosity. And if someone does actually end up getting their hands on the book, please do get back to me on how it was!
