It is said in the Holy Book Bible that “Sword begets Sword. Those who fight with sword will die with sword only”. This is what exactly has happened to Bin Laden because he fought with bullets and finally was killed with bullets only. When somebody dies his close relatives and associates feel hurt and sad, so it is but natural for the people close to Bin Laden thru blood and thru ideology to feel sad and hurt exactly the way it happened to the relatives of the people who were killed by Bin Laden, directly thru his own hands and thru his associates. America has finally killed Bin Laden the way Bin Laden has killed thousands of innocent people all around the globe. It looked justice has been done for all who were killed by Bin Laden.
It was impossible for me as a layman to admit that Pakistan was not aware of Bin Laden’s whereabouts when he resided for about a decade in the heart of Pakistan. He took shelter in Pakistan during the rule of Gen. Musharref and yet General remained silent,knowingly or unknowingly. If Pakistani Intelligence Agency showed its ignorance on this then something is wrong with Pakistan. Secondly showing its ignorance of the operation carried out by the US unilaterally without the notice of Pakistan proves how Pakistan is weak militarily. Helicopters intruding in the Airspace of Pakistan and still Pakistan does not know means something basically is wrong with Pakistani defence system. In this way any enemy country can send its bombers and bombard Pakistani Atomic Plant and destroy Pakistan. This proves how Pakistan is vulnerable for enemy attack.
According to one story America used highly sophisticated devices to jam the Pakistani Radar system. This means it shows the very high superiority of America to intrude in any country without getting detected. When Israeli commandos raided Entebbe Airport in Uganda 30 years back to rescue the Israeli hijacked plane there, the Israeli system used somewhat similar methods to land at Entebbe Airport clandestinely thereby making mockery of Idi Amin’s might. In a similar manner the US also made a total mockery of Pakistan and its atomic might. If what Pakistan said is right that it was not informed by the US of this operation on its soil then I salute America for acquiring such a highly sophisticated methods to immobilise detective devices of an Atomic Power Pakistan.
West as a whole is Christian and the religion that Bin Laden practiced believed in Christianity. Inspite of this, Bin Laden and his followers dubbing the West as infidels and ‘Kafir’ means going against the religion of Bin Laden. And by the way who is Bin Laden to pass his verdict saying West is Kafir? And just because some one is Kafir it does not mean that he should be liquidated from this planet. God has not given power to anyone either to kill himself or to kill others. Entire human race is in the hands of God, He alone is the custodian of humanity and He alone can take the life away from human beings. For this reason even Euthanasia is forbidden. In fact much of the problems and many of the wars in Muslim world are averted by the Christian West. Much of the sufferings in the Muslim world are eradicated by the Christian world. No doubt West is also responsible for some mischief going on in this world but that does not mean the West is Kafir.
Will the world be a safer place to live in after Bin Laden? God alone knows but I have my own assessment, that is, Al Qaeda will come out now with greater fury as wounded Lion and pounce not only on its enemies but also on the sympathisers of the enemies. No doubt Bin Laden’s killing will be a big psychological setback for Al-Qaeda yet it will come back with greater fury to avenge the killing of its founder and leader. The Non-Extremist Muslims especially the Clerics must play their role well by preaching the peaceful and compassionate side of Islam to its followers more vigorously especially for the younger generation. Islam is a great religion that teaches love, peace and compassion and it is followed by the great followers in millions all around the globe. Its greatness should not be allowed to spoil by the few fanatics who think that their way alone is correct to go to heaven.
May God Bless this world and keep it free from terrorism perpetrated by the few in the name of their belief. Terrorism is a temporary phase which will never last for long. The earlier it comes to an end the better it is for all of us to live in peace.

UNNECESSARY KILLING OF ARABS BY ARABS.
There was a time when Arabs were killed by the Jews and this killing was clearly displayed in TV local as well as international. One of the reasons for me to hate Israeli Jews was because of the killings of Arabs Muslims and Christians by the Jews in the occupied land of Palestine for fighting for their rights. When the Arab Muslim sovereign country Kuwait was invaded by another Arab Muslim country Iraq in 1990, it was the most shocking news of the post second world war era. The brutality that Iraqi Arabs committed on innocent Kuwaiti Arabs made me to ask a question, "Is my brother really my brother?" Iraqi Arab invaders instead of protecting Kuwaiti Arabs with respect and dignity, ignoring their solemn responsibility to treat the invaded citizens humanely, instead shamelessly asked the question thus: "Am I my brother’s keeper?" Being unable to bear the brutality and betrayal of Iraqi Arab invaders many Kuwaiti Arabs said to themselves, "it would have been better if we were invaded by our enemy Israeli Jews and treated us thus by them instead of by our so called Arab brothers from Iraq”.
There was a time Arabs joined together to fight against their common enemy the Jews who are enjoying the usurped land of Arab Palestinians. But to the enjoyment of Jews, Arabs are now killing their own Arabs and these killings in innumerable number we saw recently in Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia, Syria, Libya and elsewhere in the Arab world. What is wrong with the current Arab World so as to lose them their sanity? If they had not to lose their sanity they would not massacre their own citizens for asking more freedom and better facilities for them from their rulers. The rulers of the Arab nations now undergoing turmoil looks like imitating Marie Antoinette and telling their disgruntled citizens ‘Eat Cake if there is no Bread’.
When Marie Antoinette gave the above reply we know what the outcome was. Husni Mubarak of Egypt took the right decision by stepping down from the power otherwise his head would go the way that of Marie Antoinette. People now want freedom and more freedom. Human urge for freedom and more freedom will never die down. For the Arab leaders like Col. Mohammed Ghaddafi to rule Libya without democratic mandate from his people for over three decades means foolish thing. Only thru the suppression of human rights such leaders succeeded in ruling for such a long period and thereby acquiring the robes of self proclaimed Monarchs. Their long rule made them unconstitutional Monarchs. Such Monarchs will never last. As it is we have seen constitutional Monarchs are collapsing like pack of cards and what about the unconstitutional ones?
It is a hard fact that in the Arab World in general and Muslim world in particular the urge to fight for democracy and human rights is very low. What uprising taking place currently in the Arab World is just the beginning of the terrible events to come? NATO and big Western Powers are now directing the course of action in Libya where in NATO bombings one son of Col. Ghaddafi is already killed besides his three grandchildren. Like Saddam Hssein’s Sons, the second son of Ghaddafi may also go soon. NATO and Western Powers are doing what they are asked to do by the Arabs only. West has involved in Libya on the request of Libyans opposing Col. Ghaddafi and also by other Arabs only to save more Libyan lives from getting killed by Ghaddafi’s brute force. Col. Ghaddafi has no marbles in his underwear to face the might of West and NATO. In such case he should abdicate his throne and disappear from the scene like Husni Mubarak thereby saving further bloodbath of his own Libyans. The fight in Libya is not the fight between Arabs and Jews. It is a fight between Libyan Muslim Arabs only. Christian West is come there on the request of Muslim Arabs to save the lives of Muslim Libyan Arabs. What Muslim Arabs cannot do the Christian West is doing. This is a hard fact one has to admit, whether one likes it or not.
From the ongoing events in the world and upheavals in the Arab World, one can say that only the West headed by US can save the world from disaster. Only thru democratic process involving the masses and quenching the thirst of more rights of the masses the current turmoil in the Arab world can come to an end. Religious fanaticism will not solve the problem in the Arab and Muslim world. The new western educated generation will not accept discrimination based on religions and also suppression of their rights for more and better facilities. The earlier the Arab and Muslim leaders realise this the better for them and for their countries. ‘Demos’ have awakened now and youth are become conscious of their rights. To stop them from fighting for their rights is impossible. They are already on the move and they will go on moving further till their rights are granted.

ROYAL WEDDING OF PRINCE WILLIAM & KATE.
2 Christian persons male and female joined together yesterday 29th of April, 2011 in the holy sacrament of matrimony and their marriage ceremony was witnessed from close angle by 2 thousand people besides 2 billion people from all around the globe viewed this ceremony thru innumerable TV channels. Oh my goodness!! What a majestic show of pomp and publicity Her Majesty’s Government has done!! Thru this show of dsplay Christianty and Christian Rites were also very well promoted and publicised especially in the non-Christian world. Nowhere else such a majestic show is put on display except in UK for Royal couple. And the Bishop who conducted the marriage ceremony declared saying "I pronounce you both as husband and wife". I fervently pray to God to keep the bridal couple to remain as husband and wife forever so that they become a symbol of unity between husband and wife for others to emulate. They both promised to remain faithful to each other in good time and in bad time, in sickness and in good health and never to separate from each other till death separates them. It is my sincere prayer to God to keep them together firmly till one of them dies otherwise they will be making a mockery of their solemn pledge they took to remain together forever. The parents of Prince William are already on record to break this solemn pledge they took 3 decades ago in a similar manner and later on formalised their divorce. By destroying their married life they made mockery of the sacrament of matrimony and also of Monarchy which should give good example to others.
It is said, marriages are made in Heaven and what is bound in Heaven, no power on earth can break. This doctrine it looks not applicable to the Royal couple. Prince Charles and Lady Diana the sinful parents of Prince William were both guilty of committing adulatory leading to their legal separation from each other. By doing this they both brought disgrace not only on the Monarchy but more than that on their religion Christianity they practiced. Rich people are known to make mockery of their religions. Religion is the staple diet of the poor and in the words of Karl Marx; religion is the opium of the masses.
I admire the young Prince William for sticking up to the same girl from the time he took liking for Kate while they were doing their studies together. By doing this he proved to be the real son of his real father. No doubt Kate looked attractive yet she lacked the beauty, elegance and gracefulness of her late mother-in-law Lady Diana who was really extra ordinary as far as her looks were concerned. Kate’s make up was showing that she was wearing an artificial face making her extra beautiful which even surprised her man Prince William forcing him to state that “you look beautiful”. While walking to the Alter Lady Diana then looked like an Angel maintaining courtly discipline while her daughter-in-law Kate looked real commoner. Lady Diana’s born unfaithful husband Prince Charles yesterday looked as cunning as he was 3 decades ago flirting then without any guilt with his girlfriend Camilla whose presence yesterday spoiled the good mood of many inside the Church and outside. She is a criminal who murdered the smooth married life of Lady Diana by infiltrating into her happily married life. During the marriage ceremony while watching minutely the facial appearance of Prince William it gave me an impression that there was no another female in his mind to think of and he gave an impression that he loves Kate more. However, if I can recollect the marriage ceremony of Prince Charles, his thoughts looked engrossed in Camilla the bitchy woman who destroyed the peace of Lady Diana and entered as Lucifer in the Monarchy thereby bringing bad name to the Monarchy.
The young Prince yesterday received lot of sympathy for being an orphan in the absence of his dearest mother for whom both her Princes means everything. Poor lady had lot of ambitions to bring them up in a different manner than in the Royal mould but all her dreams turned into hell and who was responsible for this hell? Surely Camilla who should have stayed out of Prince Charles’ domain after his marriage with Diana. This does not mean that I absolve Charless of the mischief he committed. He took Diana for granted till Diana revolted not only against his unfaithfulness but also against the entire Monarchy. In fact British Monarchy was lucky that Lady Diana was killed in a car accident otherwise she would tear the Monarchy into pieces of course with the support of Muslim millionaire Dodi Al Fayaz. Luck favoured Monarchy which looked like unwanted now.
The earlier 2 marriages from British Royal family turned into disaster. Will this marriage too see the same fate as that of Prince Charles and his younger brother Prince Andrew? When Prince Adrew was having his honeymoon in the luxurious Yacht off the coast Azores, away on the land people were dancing like mad. Today the newly wedded couple in a Helicopter gone to undisclosed place for a change and not for honeymoon which is scheduled in the next month. Will British people dance from distance during the honeymoon of the newly wedded couple? British people will do anything to keep their Monarchs happy for this reason British Monarchy is still kept alive by the British tax payers' money.
