26/11 mastermind Saeed freely roaming, preaching in Pakistan

London The alleged mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks in which more than 179 people died was openly spotted in Lahore delivering the Friday sermon to thousands of people at the Jamia al-Qadsia mosque.

The chief of terror outfit Lashakar-e-Taiba, Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, is neither in hiding nor in jail.

“God has promised to make Muslims a superpower if we follow the right path,” Saeed told his followers.

“Our rulers are the slave of America and have sold their conscience for a few dollars,” ‘The Times’ quoted the founder of LeT, as saying.

Meanwhile, US Ambassador to India Timothy Roemer has backed Indian calls this week for Pakistan to bring Saeed and six other Mumbai terror suspects to justice.

“We need to see actions and results from Pakistan,” he said after India handed Pakistan a seventh dossier of evidence on the Mumbai terror attacks.

The real problem lies with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency, which backed Saeed when he founded LeT in 1990 to fight India in Jammu and Kashmir, according to analysts.

Under pressure from the US, Pakistan banned the group in 2002, but it continued to operate under the banner of Jamaat-ud Dawa, which Saeed also founded and calls a charity organisation.

A UN Security Council resolution last December declared Jamaat-ud Dawa a front for Lashkar-e-Taiba, forcing Pakistan to freeze its assets and jail many of its activists.

Saeed was put under house detention, but released after a few months when a court ruled that action against him and his group was illegal.

Please try to understand freedom and democracy of Pakistan, and stop behaving like cavemen by Chao Mao Hu Jintao Hussein Obama on 22 Nov 2009

Pakistan is a free democratic civilised society unlike India. Hence India can not understand that people are free to express their opinions in Pakistan, and do not need to fear jail and torture for expression of their desires and aspirations, unlike medieval India where rule of fear and terror exists. India needs to learn from the progress of Pakistan and China under their free democratic systems of governance and try to change from medievalism and start living like open minded tolerant and inclusive society, rather than like stone age cavemen hiding in dark caves. It is necessary for China to tell India how to behave and develop a peaceful South Asia region, and as a part of that duty such comments are necessary from Chinese to educate the Indians.

Free Pakis by Hero Vaz on 24 Nov 2009

The name you have chosen to write under shows you are a thoroughly confused person and think through your backside. When you say that China has a free democratic system of governance, you confirm my assessment of you. There is no doubt that Pakistan is free and no one need have any fears - terrorists can roam free, a renowned scoundrel can be President, the corrupt can give Islam a bad name in a theocratic country and drug money can be used freely even by the "disciplined" army. Pakistan is truly free and India certainly cannot match that freedom !!!

Gangsters and terrorists operate freely in India too!!! by Christian Anderson on 22 Nov 2009

Dawood Ibrahim also moves freely in Pakistan. And Dawood Ibrahims family members who are also gangsters move freely in India! So why complain about Pakistan, when you let the Islamo facists move and operate freely in India?

Country where cut throat's run free. by Jatinder S Hoon on 21 Nov 2009

As long as jahadhi I.S.I and its goons are in power, Pakistan has no chance of breaking its chains.I.S.I must be disbanded and power restored to civilian goverment,Pakistan hopefully may have a chance to survive as one country.

Ethical Governance by http://twitter.com/ethicalgov on 21 Nov 2009

To be Ethical one need not be religious; Ethics brings best practices to fore, builds and unites. "A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary". Albert Einstein. It is not surprising of the attitude of this overtly religious person, he is amongst the list of religious people who are the root causes of all troubles in this world. All religious zealots only destroys, history shows massacres and murders in the name of religion by religious people.

Paki criminals roam free by Hero Vaz on 21 Nov 2009

In Pakistan, anything can happen. Even 10% Zardari can not only roam free, he can be President too !!!

Pakistanis by Surjeet on 21 Nov 2009

Our greatest problem today is internal security. While our armed forces block terrorists from coming in, and some of them die, our govt. freely issues visas for a back door entry. These BACK DOOR ENTRY by red carpet by congress is hurting us, as several thousand of Pakis overstay, many hundreds do not retrun. Guess what they do.....they kill our fellow citizens. WE NEED TO ASK OUR GOVT. TO TELL US HOW MANY PAKISTANIS HAVE GOT THE VISA IN CURRENT TROUBLED TIME,HOW MANY OVERSTAY, AND HOW MANY DO NOT RETURN. WE HAVE A RIGHT TO INFORMATION. SADLY THE WORK OUR PRESS HAS TO DO WE WILL HAVE TO.`

Dont give bad names to Religios persons of Hindu and Muslim by Ali Qureshi ( Pakistani ) on 21 Nov 2009

Dear all pls dont give bad names to hindu and muslim religios persons as they spread the message of peace. It is sad the nation wise india and pak are enemy and they always try to cheat each other. But vast majority of both countries are peaceful mind and want a joint freindly base relations of both South Asian Powers. :) Be happy Jay Hind Jay Pakistan

India cheating? by Winston on 21 Nov 2009

I dont think Pakistan has got it right since 1947. India has not cheated anyone but Muslims have in creating a Muslim nation out of Hindu lands. Hindus lived under Muslim oppression since 712 AD till present day. Lahore was a Hindu-Sikh Majority and still India has submitted to the White Englishman who drew those lines. BUT Pakistan insists Kashmir to be its own. The question is How can Pakistan claim anything since it itself evolved out of Bharat or Hindustan or India. You have to have been an entity first to have lost something. Since 1947 you send in people who have killed innocent billions from 712 AD and you continue to do in the name of Islam. Your lies about Islam being a peaceful religion is seen everywhere. ITS POSSIBLE EVERY MUSLIM IS NOT A TERRORIST BUT EVERY TERRORIST TODAY IS A MUSLIM>>>explain that! EVEN if India just for the sake of maintaining friendship gives away a piece of ITS land, even then, Muslims are hell bent on destroyng our way of life here. BTW, How could you have given away portion of land to China if it belonged to you. SEE THAT EXPOSES YOUR LIES> Muslims have killed Muslims in Bangladesh and Kashmir and Afghanistan, so your comments of inviting Indians to form friendly bases cannot be trusted. There are a lot of things you need to do first. 1. Destroy terrorist bases in Pakistan like LET etc. Hang those leaders Saeed, Osama, Dawood, Kashmiri, etc wanted for terrorist activities. Get back to 1947 International boundaries and leave Kashmir alone. People who take things that dont belong to them cannot be trustworthy. ADIOS!

26/11 mastermind Saeed freely roaming, preaching in Pakistan by Ratan Gupta on 21 Nov 2009

Our Bal Thackray is also roaming freely. The difference is Bal Thackray has already accepted his guilt of the demolition of the mosque. Narender Modi is also roaming. Not only roaming, but he is the Cheif Minister. Our criminals are far more enjoying freedom, that too after accepting the guilt, than somebody in foreign country. At least they had summoned him to the courts. Courts did not find anything.

Pak terror by Shashwal on 21 Nov 2009

Pakistan has a holy and musical name as'PAKISTAN'. Unfortunately pakistan has changed the name to 'Terroristan', Our resilient Govt. is not purturbed whether it is attack on Parliament,or on Akshardham or on Mumbai26/11, the number of people dying by terroristst attacks or people die due to hunger or commit suicides(read farmers). Our Govt. is afraid of Pak atom bomb. It is high time we tell the Pakistan and world that few crores of Indians will die (India is a very vast country) in Pak atom attack but the retaliation will be so severe that Pakistan will be totally pulverised and there would be only heaps of mud and craters named Pakistan.

No Surpirse.IT is like we have Nirender modi, Bal Tahckeraey, Raj Thackeraey preaching freely here by Atif on 21 Nov 2009

Like we have Nirender modi, Bal Tahckeraey, Raj Thackeraey preaching freely here. These are all have same mind in common that is just to spread hatared

Indian History by arvind tiwari on 21 Nov 2009

I just like to share some of the facts about this cult name Islam propagated by Mohammad.This allows the killing,butchering kaffirs,onverting them by sword.Pls read book written by Dr. Anwar sheikh about this Cult.This is propoted to upheld the Arab supremacy as other lands are dar ul harbs and only saudi arabia is land of piece.Worship Mecca,go to haj so that money spent by these hajis will keep arab land prosperaour and rich.These poor subcontinet muslims who are forvibly converted do not love their own country and traditions. They love arab way of life style. No one is going to help u or India, u have to help urself.Make urself educated learn to respect ur own culture and be united against these evil forces like so called secular forces Congress,Mulayam,Lalu,Commies etc as they are killing very culture of hinduism and spreading hatred by appeasement of minorities,giving reservation in the name of casts.

26/11 mastermind Saeed freely roaming, preaching in Pakistan by Rohit Kumar on 21 Nov 2009

And our cult has divided us into four portions. Brahmins are on the top and the dalits are at the bottom. Where do you want to be fit in? Mr. Tiwari, you have to choose one place since the tops blocks are already filled. So,you are at......

Face your fate by omar on 21 Nov 2009

Mr.Tiwari if you have any comments regarding saeed comment, donot try to find flaws in the whole message of islam.you will fail.do you know the fact the last messenger of god named mohammed will appear in desert is mentioned in your vedas in sanskrit.if you are a true hindu who knows what is a veda then read it and understand the meaning of it.God mentioned the name in particular for you to follow when you hear the true message.Imagine a blind man and a man with eyes, are they the same,Ofcourse not.you are a blind man.if you are true ask any sanskrit scholar to find out for you the name mohammed or ahmed in your vedas.then judge yourself.Blind man commenting on a true message is answerable to the creator.You will know which messeage is true at the moment of your death and when the angels ask you about mohammed in your grave.From the moment you die till for ever you will cry and burn in hell fire and you will plead to be send back to the world to follow the true message brought by mohammed but in vain.if you want to escape from fire think and act now for your good.snub the history and think what will happen to you after you die.check your vedas and take the advice of your vedas on mohammed.

islam and jihjad by sankar on 21 Nov 2009

islam is the only cult in this world which mentions jihad- that is to kill others who doesn't believe it. all other religions preach peace and love for all even enemies.by the name of jihad they are killing their own people in afghan, iraq and pak. they don't have right to talk about any others.

Listen to what my Vedas tell me, OK? by Viay Bhargava on 21 Nov 2009

Dear Omar, My Vedas enjoin me to love the enemy and change his mind by persuasion. But if that fails and the enemy continues to be troublesome and violent then my Vedas also tell me to use an appropriate Astra and annihilate him. Hope you understand this

Sanctity of a Worship Place by Bharat on 21 Nov 2009

Hafiz M. Saeed walking free in pakistan indicates weakness of India; and shame for pakistan. Hafiz Saeed is a killer. Delivering sermons in a mosque in lahore by a killer, kills the sanctity of a worship place. Pakis cannot understand it as they hate to follow the language of peace & harmony. What is the credibility of justice in pakistan? Why the pakis are maintaining law courts when they love lawlessness? A country where reign of terror prevails could be called evil. Therefore, we call it, Evil Republic of Pakistan; China treat it as an honest friend!!!! Where is this world heading for? In India, PM is very busy visiting countries, and not finding time to sit & discuss India's security matters.

Crap As Usuall by Rodgers Father on 21 Nov 2009

Why are people getting cranky about this. It has always been known that the Pakistan is the hub of terorism. Yet rest of the world has done very little about it. There was chance to fix this during east and west paki war. there was chance after Mumbai bombing but nothing happened. Nothing happened because west did not want any thing to happen to save guard their intetrest rather than Indias interest.

What else could be expected? by John on 21 Nov 2009

What else could be expected from Pakistan which is founded on the principles of Islamic Fundamentalism? The religion Islam directly preaches the mass killing of people who do not accept the god of mohammed. Their books have praised the gruesome killings of Jews, Christians and Hindus whom they call idol worshippers. Even today they preach the same to the brain washed stupid youngsters of their faith. They are in total negation of all other human thoughts, sciences, mathematics, art and culture, moral cords and their own ancestral history. So it is not only a war against terrorism in the form of physical and intelligence activities, but also a war against losing the glorious human history contributed by so many great people thru several millenniums.

Please stop publishing these news...... by Mallika Minocha on 21 Nov 2009

Howsoever the Congress bungles on all fronts, the stupid electorate is going to elect them, and the Congress knows this.So they don't care any more. And there is no point in your publishing such news because it is not giving any effect.

Islam amd muslim by Arvind Tiwari on 21 Nov 2009

Every Terrorist Leader is in Pakistan. by NP Singh on 21 Nov 2009

You name any Top terrorist leader or under world Top Boss, all of them are there in Pakistan Why name only Saeed.Where are Mullah Omar,Osama bin Laden,His #2,Dawood ? The International Community ( US )knows that pretty well.Shouldn't that suffice.???

Hafiz Saeed by arvind tiwari on 21 Nov 2009

Dear all as i have conveyed several times on this forum that pls beware of this cult all muslims in pakistan and in India cherish the attrocities which were meted out to Hindus during their rule.our history is distorted in the name of secularism.Just imagine when they r just 12% of population and craeting problems just wait when they will reach 25% of population an another denad of Pakistan would come.As this cult is the most dangerous and barbaric and gives right to kill plunder rape to all the infidels and more precisely inhabitate of dar-ul-harb which is India and Hindus. I urge all hindus to read history and make urself aware that history is not written by RSS or VHP it is written geefully by the darbaris of these muslim rulers. A mountain name Hindukush stands and mean killer of hindus where 2 Lacs Hindus were slaughtered. Pls awake and get united against this dangerus Arabic cult.

Pakistani Sleaze! by Mohammed on 21 Nov 2009

Really. I always thought Pakistan and their sleazeball spokesman on Indian Media were honest and sincere over their desire to tackle the 26/11 terror attacks. Not to forget the many dozens of bomb blasts which were orchestrated by the Mujahideeeeeens of Pakistan. There can be no peace with these people. The only solution is a complete annihilation of Pakistan and its people. Then and only then will they know the power of the Hindus.

Read carefully Saeed by arun kumar on 21 Nov 2009

God has promised to make Muslims a superpower if we follow the right path. The right path is killing all others who do not agree with them. These people are insane and those who follow them are generally very poor and illiterate. These people have otherwise nothing to boast off in their lives and follow the path of Saeeds to feel as some body. Saeeds will use minor children as human bomb and which sura of Holy Koran permits him to do that? The terrorists forcibly enter houses of others, molest women is it permitted in Islam? Is killing innocent person permitted in Islam? The tragedy is even Human rights activist like Mahesh Bhatt and Shabana Aazmi are unable to raise a word against these terrorist criminals and Fatwa readers afraid of their own lives. When it comes to commenting on Hinduism these people are first seen on road because they know Hindus are civilised tolerant and beyond Fatwas. MMS should clearly and loudly say "No Talks till end of Terrorism from Pak's soil". Wiil he?
