Afghanistan & Hekmatyar(The "OTHER" Biography of Hekmatyar)
an2...@anon.penet.fi
"Brothers" M.Daoud Nassimi and Rached N Zantout,
I read you article. There was only one problem. Your version of
Brother Hekmatyar's biography seemed to be lacking some details ;-)
Such details include statements expressed by General Zia-ul-Haq who
played the role of the God-Father in Brother Hekmatyar's personality
cult.
In this regard I will relate an incident which was written in
Brig.Yosuf's book, The Silent Soldier (page 101). Brig. Yosuf says
that Zia had asked Akhtar, in front of Yosuf, to deliver a message
to Brother Hekmatyar. The message says that "Gul Badin must be
clearly warned that it was Pakistan who made him an Afghan leader
and it is Pakistan who can equally destroy him if continues to
misbehave."
Also you seem to have totally forgotten the leader of Pakistan's
Jamiat-e-Islami. It seems a little odd to read about Hekmatyar's
biography and not to see any reference to Brother Hekmatyar's
murshid i.e. Qazi Hussein.
I say murshid because in one of his speeches, delivered in the
summer of 1982 in London's Islamic Center, Mr.Qazi Hussein said that
" I laid the foundation of Islamists Party in Afghanistan." He was
talking about Hezb-e-Islami and Brother Hekmatyar.
Now that we know the founders and builder of Brother Hekmatyar, we
move along and see what else we can add to his biography.
In this series I am reminded of another incident regarding
Brother Hekmatyar, which I am sure, you will find as a very
interesting addition to his biography.
Before I recount this incident let me mention that Brother
Hekmatyar, by birth, and , Alhamdulillah, not by choice, was a
Kharoate by tribe. Of course after he was enlightened by "real wisdom
(Hekma)" and "vision to serve the Ummah", Brother Hekmatyar choose to
denounce his former attributes and heritage ( Periodically Brother
Hekmatyar has selectively called upon his Pashtoon heritage in order
to muster up badly needed support against his idiological twin and
arch-rivals i.e Burhanuddin Rabani and Ahmad Shah Massud).But let us
get back to the incident I was about to relate.
One of the most famous and influential leaders of Kharoat, Ghulam
Sarwar-e-Nashir, a person who practically ruled over Baghlan area,
says that one day Brother Hekmatyar's father came to him and said
that " my son has joined hands with the Kuffar and is engaged in
anti-government and anti-Islam activities with the Parchami
Communists". The Father had asked for help. Mr.Nashir says that he
put Hekmatyar in prison and, after six months, released him to the
custody of his father. According to Nashir, Hekmatyar had apparently
repented and vowed to be straight.
From here we move on the next stage of Brother Hekmatyar's life and
that is period in which he was in Kabul. What follows will hopefully
serve to further complete the biographical details of Brother
Hekmatyar. ;-)
For this phase we look at the information data bases of the once
billion dollar supporter of Brother Hekmatyar.
This brings us to a report titled "Task force on Terrorism and
Unconventional Warfare" which is a detailed document published,
March 1 1990, by the U.S. House Republican Research Committee.
The report says, and I directly quote,
" Gulbudin Hekmatiyar arrived in Kabul in the late-1960 as one of
the young activists sent from the country-side for advance secular
studies. He considered a military career as the most expedient way
to the top. Soon afterwards, he was accepted to the Military Academy
in Kabul. It was not long before he became actively involved in
radical leftist politics and conspiratorial activities. At this
point, he was associated with a group of communist officers and
cadets who would eventually emerge as the military wing of the
Parcham. Shortly afterwards, Gubaddin was expelled from the Military
Academy for unacceptable homosexual behavior after he had been
caught having relations with another male in the dorms."
"During 1969-70, as a clear reflection of PDPA-Parcham trust in him,
Gulbadin was ordered to penetrate a cell of the Moslem Brotherhood
in Kabul. Many of the young zealots of the day moved from one
extreme political movement to another, and Gulbaddin Hekmatyar was a
prime candidate to make just such a move. Indeed, he apparently
became convinced of the righteousness of the Moslem Brotherhood
school of Islam during this period, and when he surfaced as a
militant refugee in Pakistan in 1973, he claimed to have become a
devout Muslim."
"In 1974, already in Pakistan, Gubaddin Hekmatyar was selected by
ISI, under the orders of the then Pakistani President Zulfiqar Ali
Bhutto, to train for a planned insurrection against Afghan President
Daud. Hekmatyar was trained by the Pakistani security services in
1975-76. At that time, Pakistani officials described him as a
cunning, ruthless and power hungry man who would do anything to
remain at the top. In the event , he was imposed upon the emerging
insurgent groups in the Panjshare Valley as the only source for
Pakistani weapons and financial support. In point of fact, ISI
considered him their man, a totally controlled agent. However, in
the end, insurrection collapsed in 1976 for lack of popular
support."
I hope these addition will further complete Mr.Nassimi's undertaking
to outline Brother Hekmatyar's biography.

Could some one post the biographies of the other CRIMINALS also?
I love to see what's cooking behind the veils of Islam.

Without commenting on the veracity of the said report, I would like
to point out that this *same* task force came out with a "detailed
document" on the Bosnian crisis at about the same time. This other
report went into great detail on how Izetbegovic was an Iranian agent,
how the growing number of Muslim immigrants in Western Europe posed
a *security* risk, how it was important to stifle the incipient Bosnian
state so as not to give a Muslim state, no matter how secular, a chance
to establish itself in Europe. In short, it was little more than
hysterical paranoia full of bigoted views. It was a little hard to
believe that a whole group of United States Congressman could be so
full of such xenophobia. This only adds to the admiration I have for
others such as Senator Joseph Biden who have the courage to admit that
anti-Muslim sentiment in Western leadership circles contributed to the
Bosnian-Muslim genocide.

So are you, in affect, putting up a defense for Gulbudin Hekmatyar ? Not
withstanding the task force and it contents, the Afghan people have better
proves, like torture victims, friends and family of assasination
victims, friends and family of hundreds of prominant Mojahedin gunned down
by Hezb-i-Islami thugs, etc etc which can better vouch for your "hero"'s
character. So tell me Bilal who else you feel like defending ?? Let me
give you a hint. How do you feel about Sheik Omar Abdu Rahman ?? You know
Gulbudin and Omar go a long way. While you are at it, why not put up a
defense for the Sheikh.
Hope you will respond to all of the above.

Xenophobia is not against the MUSLIMS in large. It is against the ISLAMIST
FUNDAMENTALIST for which, by a strange coincidence, the Muslim World too
has developed what you call a "Xenophobia".
Also, if people like, Sheikh Abdul Rahman, continue to blow up civilian
targes under the name of Islam then really you can not expect the west to
develope a "liking" to what the Fundamentalists are out to portray as
Islam.

No I am not. You don't have to read between the lines to get my point.

This is actually a good point. There is no need to rely on the reports
of a group of bigoted US Congressmen.

Once again, Abed, I am not going to defend the Sheikh because if it is
proven that he was involved in the bombing, it is indefensible.
