The True Story of the World’s Most Deadly Nuclear Smuggler: Pakistan’s Abdul Qadeer Khan: Father of Nuclear Jihad

Type your comment here.From Kenneth Ellman, Newton, New Jersey, ke@kennethellman.com
You have some very interesting resources and commentary on your web site.
The terribly destructive activities of Abdul Qadeer Khan have been known for many years.
But you have put together a reminder of New York Times investigations with other well known interviews and information. This reinforces that we have and will continue to pay a severe and terrible price for the acts of Abdul Qadeer Khan. The world has been endangered because of that man. Most extraordinary is that he could have been arrested in the Netherlands years ago, and this was reportedly stopped by the United States Central Intelligence Agency. IF true, what an example of American stupidity. This will now come back to haunt the entire world.

To pretend that Khan is nothing more than an enemy of humanity is foolish. No one will believe that what he did was due to his ignorance of the consequences. Nor should any intelligent individual believe that what he did was of advantage to Pakistan. Pakistan is now in a life and death struggle to maintain a government that is elected by the people of Pakistan. And the military forces of Pakistan, which is one of the Jewels of the Country, is also threatened.
Pakistan is now threatened with the suffocation of democracy and its replacement now not by the Pakistani military but with a terroristic rule by an Islamic gangster dictatorship. This Islamic dictatorship does not care for nor represent the wishes or hopes of the people of Pakistan and would destroy the Pakistani military along with every thing else.. Those who attack Pakistan under the guise of Islam are the same individuals who would close down schools for Pakistani children and deprive Pakistani girls of the right to an education. Now the acts of Abdul Qadeer Khan may come back to haunt not just the outside world but Pakistan itself. After all low yield nuclear weapons can be used inside Pakistan against the military of Pakistan, not just on the outside world.
And the proliferation of nuclear weapons, particularly low yield weapons, pose an imminent threat to humanity, including the people of Pakistan. Pakistan is such a poor country. It’s people have such great need for safety and opportunity. So much could be accomplished by the people of Pakistan, but what do they now have to show for the efforts of Abdul Qadeer Khan. In my mind, nothing, nothing except great danger to Pakistan and the rest of the world.
The power of Pakistan like that of many other nations, lies in the opportunity and ability of its people to make a contribution to the world. By building industry and educational institutions, nurturing democracy and equal rights, Pakistan can overcome any adversity. It was amazing to have seen the Lawyers of Pakistan rise up and defend the Supreme Court of Pakistan. They were defending not just the rule of law but the people of Pakistan themselves. Anyone could and everyone should be proud of them. Contrast those heroic acts of the lawyers with the degraded debasement of science to make nuclear weapons as done by Abdul Qadeer Khan. Keep in mind that the terrible act of Khan was not helping the Government of Pakistan to obtain nuclear weapons. While that may have been ill advised, it did not in and of itself pose a danger to the world or Pakistan. It just wasted resources of Pakistan that could have been better used to help the people of Pakistan. But Khan was a traitor to Pakistan, and he took the secrets of his country, this nuclear knowledge, and sold it to whoever wished to purchase it. Did he buy food and books for the children of Pakistan with the money he obtained from the sale of the nuclear secrets? I doubt it.
NOW, just wait until the “great gift of Abdul Qadeer Khan” comes home to roost as enemies of humanity use nuclear weapons to terrorize the Pakistani people themselves including everyone else. Such a scenario is not impossible and if it g-d forbid it occurs you can lay it at the doorstep of Abdul Qadeer Khan. Kenneth Ellman, Newton, New Jersey, ke@kennethellman.com

Dear Bashy,

I am just trying to send few links to you about the "Islamic Bomb" thing. Kindly go through and see who has associated Bomb with religion and and when..I am just trying to locate video of this too so that you know its not me nor the media given the Pakistan Nuclear Bomb program the pet name "Islamic Bomb"

PAKISTAN: The Islamic Bomb

"Western intelligence experts believe that Pakistan has been trying for at least 15 years to develop a nuclear bomb, primarily to strengthen its defenses against neighboring India. When New Delhi tested its first atomic bomb in 1974, Islamabad stepped up its own efforts. The late Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who was then Pakistan's Prime Minister, warned that "we will eat leaves and grass, even go hungry" to build the country's own weapon. "There's a Hindu bomb, a Jewish bomb and a Christian bomb," Bhutto once wrote. "There must be an Islamic bomb."

Dear Bashy Quraishy,
First of all thanks for opinion and kind visit on my blog. Even I had visited your website for surely leave my opinion on it in coming days. I love debate and its really good that you had left the opinion and your way of point in detail especially on this topic.
Ok now coming to the point step by step…

“Made me realize that you are not working for peace or one voice but you are a very anti-Islam bigoted propagandist for India.”

See you had made up your mind just by reading this post, if you have time then I would request you to read my blog post about Hindu Extremist in India, and my clear cut voice against Hindu extremist and fundamentalist Hindu existence in India. From Gujarat riots to Orissa Massacre of Christians I had raised my voice and in reality I had received similar kind of emails from Hindu majority people saying the same to me that I am anti-Hindu bigoted, but it’s not me. I am totally against of extremisms in any kind. Be it political move or religion move, be Hindu people or be it Muslims people.

For me Country and Human Rights is bigger than any religion. Morality Does Not Come from Holy Books or by attending religious places of prayers, it comes from us from inside of us. For me religion is personal thing but when it goes to public domain it creates problem and unfortunately be it India or Pakistan politics and politician are surviving on basis of this and this method survival is creating more hatred between the communities.

Now coming to the point about my Headlines “Father of Nuclear Jihad and World Most Deadliest Nuclear Smuggler Pakistan’s A.Q. Khan to Go Free and or Pakistan’s “Islamic Bomb”

Islamic bomb was the name given by your own late president Mr. Bhutto and that also in OIC meeting. I will send you the link of Video that historical video so that you can check who called this Nuclear Bomb “Islamic Bomb”. During the 1970s, Prime Minister of Pakistan, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, propounded the concept of "Islamic Bomb." He said, "The Christians have the bomb, the Jews have the bomb, and the Hindus have the bomb...so Why can’t Muslims…
I will send you video by evening so that I can prove my point…

Calling a scientist , in this case Mr. A. Q. Khan, father of nuclear Jihad shows not only how little you know about Islam or the word Jihad but also indirectly saying that Mr. Khan’s activities has to do with his being a MUslim.

Of course I am not religious head or expert in any religion. Mr. A.Q. Khan was a convicted criminal not by us by your own court. We can argue that he made scapegoat or whatever but that’s a different point but in reality he did with help of Pakistan administration did shared the Nuclear Program technology to other countries and states, and this is against the law inst it?

Secondly, when you term Pakistani nuclear assets as Islamic, you are once again showing your true colours. Have you forgotten that it was INdia which exploded atom bomb and Pakistan had to respond. Was Indian bomb a Hindu bomb?

Well I guess I had already answered this question. It’s Mr. Bhutto who had gone around the world and declared that we will make “Islamic Bomb” which in fact is a very wrong thing. Bomb and religion can’t go together. Associating Bomb name with a religion shows how much people hate others…
Many Pakistanis do not agree with the politics and extremism in Pakistan but when you call Pakistan a terrorist State, then you do not wish a frank exchange of opinions but spread your filthy ideas around.
I don’t oppose anyone from debating but debate in true spirit of humanity. Do not associate everything with religion. Yes I did call Pakistan a terrorist state and terrorism exporting state but not in the darkness but in the light of truth. Let’s be honest here don’t you know that Pakistan do have terrorist camps inside of the country and getting more sophisticated with the help of ISI?
Even your media and leaders called that Mumbai massacre was the work of India and Israel Zionist, but when British newspaper Guardian and your own GEO TV done string operation they did found out the names of terrorist involved in attack on Indian soil and their address and parents name and even GEO TV did interview them right? Your Ex Prime Minister did say that yes lone surviving terrorist is a Pakistanis right? But till now your own administration has done nothing you know why because they are in tremendous pressure from religious head and ISI people not act against the people involved in planning attack. SO tell me what I am supposed to call? We have given enough evidence but Pakistan government is just trying to delay the process so that true faces can be saved.
I want free exchange of opinion and I am happy to sit with anyone to discuss on any point but it should be free and honest exchange of views. If I did wrong I am not ashamed to accept my mistake but I want same from my debater. We are having so much trouble you know why because we are too scared to accept the fact and too much care what people will say about me if I accept the fact.

Can you and some other arrogant Indians get in to your head that the days of treating Pakistan as a little country are over. Pakistan is a very important country and sooner the Indian élite comes to grips with this reality, the better for every one else.
Sorry to use such forceful language which is against my work ethics and peace loving nature but your writings are so poisonous for a peaceful relation between India and Pakistan, that I had to set your agenda in the right perspective.
Coming to the last point “Arrogant” well that the problem we are facing today. Calling arrogant could satisfy the inner soul but it won’t satisfy the masses. We are living in open world we need to address masses. I don’t consider Pakistan little or none important country, I do consider Pakistan stability is a much more important for South Asian region. Stable Pakistan is need and Stability in Pakistan can also bring stability in India, that the only reason I say loudly and clearly about the mistakes and damages done by Islamic extremist and Hindu Extremist.
It’s ok Don’t be sorry you had written whatever you felt on very instance after reading the post and glad your shared with me.
I hope I had answered your point but if you feel I did not do ask me I will try to answer again and again till we both agree on common stance and who knows maybe we can help to change many people perception about the facts.
I wish you Good Luck and Hope You will keep coming back and I will surely leave my comments on your writing which is for me quite impressive.

Dear Ekawaaz
Just looking at the headlines; Father of Nuclear Jihad and World Most Deadliest Nuclear Smuggler Pakistan’s A.Q. Khan to Go Free and or Pakistan's “Islamic Bomb and then reading your other comments made me realize that you are not working for peace or one voice but you are a very anti-Islam bigoted propagandist for India.
Let me explain, why I am saying that.
