Terrorism is a major issue plaguing Pakistan. There are two broad categories of terrorism - internal and external. Internally, banned organizations like the Pakistani Taliban carry out attacks against civilians and infrastructure. Separatist groups in Balochistan also engage in terrorism. Externally, high profile attacks against leaders and military sites are often state sponsored. Terrorism has negatively impacted Pakistan's security, economy and tourism. The government has taken steps like military operations and madrassa reforms to counter terrorism, but more work is needed to solve the underlying political, economic and social issues fueling extremism.

Pakistan has played a key role in supporting the US war on terror by providing military bases and supply routes for over 75% of US and NATO supplies. However, the war has come at a huge cost to Pakistan with over 80,000 civilians and 4,795 soldiers killed and $68 billion in economic losses. In response, Pakistan has undertaken military operations like Zarb-e-Azb in North Waziristan and Karachi operations to crackdown on terrorist groups and over 20,000 terrorists have been killed. Pakistan's future strategy includes strengthening security forces and establishing domestic defense production to better combat terrorism within its borders.
Incitement against Israel, which frequently turns into genuine anti-Semitic incitement, is an inseparable part of the fabric of life in the Palestinian Authority.

When those who are given the mandate to govern, make the country ungovernable then the only way out for the civil society is to lead the way to show the leaders that those who are mislead can lead too when the time comes. It is far more important to self-govern than handing over the right to govern to those who cannot see beyond their nose.
The symposium focuses on educating students about Palestinian issues and history from various perspectives, with panels and films addressing topics like politics affecting Palestinians and the "Nakba" or catastrophe of 1948.

Malala mishap and global media scenario in retrospect taliban and pakistanSUN&FZ Associates
Pakistani Talibans had tried to impose their Nizam-e-Adl in Swat and were thrown out of there proving and conveying clearly and forcefully that their kind of Islam was not acceptable and workable in our country. So as Muslims what are we afraid of?
We have a more secular than a secular government. We have a dedicated Secular Media of Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s Secular Pakistan. We have an army ready to fight against any attempt to disturb the way we live in this world and the way we believe in the world after. When the Pakistani Talibans have failed in Swat how can they succeed in other parts of the country where we have law enforcing agencies as well as rangers and army cantonment areas? Do we think that a few isolated barbaric incidents can succeed in terrorizing entire population of Pakistan and make them Taliban Branded Shariah Compliant? Can a country that has a brave teen age girl like Malala who has the courage to defy Taliban and carry on her mission be expected to let so-called Pakistani Taliban impose their “Alien to Islam Shariat in a “RELIGIOUS COUNTRY of TRULY MUSLIMS like Pakistan”?
Security Scenario in NE India : Response thereof Securing Asia 2013IPPAI
This document provides an overview of the security challenges in North East India. It discusses the region's ethnic and linguistic diversity as well as the complex web of over 90 armed rebel groups operating across the seven states. It analyzes the different types of movements, from secessionist to autonomy-seeking to those fighting for control over resources or ethnic dominance. While insurgency has declined due to government counterinsurgency efforts, new conflicts have emerged around issues of identity and immigration. Maintaining peace will require addressing socio-economic grievances, rehabilitating former militants, curbing arms smuggling, and promoting dialogue between communities.
1. Israel launched airstrikes against Iranian targets in Syria after rockets were fired at Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Iran-backed militants in Syria were targeted in response with no Israeli casualties reported. The US supported Israel's right to defend itself against Iranian aggression.
2. OPEC agreed to a small increase in oil production to help lower surging prices that have contributed to high inflation. The cartel decided to boost output by 648,000 barrels per day starting in July and August after weeks of negotiations. The Biden administration welcomed the deal as a way to alleviate economic challenges from rising energy costs
Shia in Saudi Arabia are currently subject to a plethora of political, cultural, educational and economic discriminatory policies. They are sharply restricted against political organizing, do not have a right to free expression, face employment discrimination in both the public and private
sectors, and are restricted from equal access to the Saudi police/military or education system.
This document contains data and analysis on terrorism in Pakistan from various sources. It includes quantitative data on fatalities from terrorist violence from 2003-2014, sectarian attacks since 2001, drone attacks from 2005-2013, and numbers of internally displaced people and refugees.

The survey found high levels of concern about terrorism and its impacts on life, security and community. Respondents identified terrorism, political instability and poverty as the biggest threats to Pakistan.
There are two types of religious extremism discussed in the document: religious terrorists and religious cults. Religious terrorists embrace beliefs that allow violence and view outsiders as enemies of God, while cults require absolute loyalty and isolate members from their former lives. Examples discussed include Al-Qaeda, Aum Shinrikyo, Jonestown, and Heaven's Gate. The document examines why people may be drawn to such groups and provides warning signs for identifying religious extremism.
The document discusses the concept of extremism, defining it as actions or ideologies outside a society's perceived political center or that violate common moral standards. It notes extremism is usually constructed in opposition to moderation. The document also categorizes different types of extremism and lists major determinants and causes, including things like political deprivation, lack of education, corrupt elites, and exposure to violence at a young age. It argues extremism is not specific to any single religion. The conclusion calls for a holistic strategy incorporating social, religious, educational and other reforms to counter extremist narratives and ideologies.
COMMERCIALIZATION OF KNOWLEDGE - PRODUCTION, MARKETING AND DELIVERYDr. Raju M. Mathew
The document discusses the need to industrialize and commercialize knowledge production in order to make it accessible to all of humanity. Currently, knowledge production is treated as a cottage industry and attributed divinity, denying access to most. The author proposes treating knowledge as a product for mass consumption and industrial production, allowing a tenfold increase in accessibility at one tenth the cost. He formulated theories in 1984 to approach knowledge this way and developed a system for mass producing and globally marketing knowledge modules, founding the field of Knowmatics. Industrializing knowledge production could revolutionize education, research and productivity.

For the first time in the entire history of both Islam and Christianity, they are on the verge of a very serious Crisis, crisis of faith, crisis of ideology, crisis of practices and identity crisis. In spite of the globally funded Religious Fundamentalism and Terrorism, thinking and fearless Youth and Women are getting ready for a great revolt against the inhuman and materialistic strategies of Islam and Christianity that keep over 80% of the humanity in misery and to protect the interest of the just 2% who own and control over 80% of the wealth of the Humanity. It is high time for Islam and Christianity to adopt a Pro-Humanity stand and thereby create a New and Just Global Social Order ensuring Food, Dignity and Knowledge for All.
The document outlines various security checks that should be performed during an application security test.

This study investigated how different variables affect the efficiency of seeding cells onto dermal scaffolds. The variables tested were cell passage number, cell seeding density, scaffold surface area to well plate ratio, and attachment incubation time. The results showed that incubation time and scaffold to plate ratio had the largest impact on seeding efficiency. Specifically, longer incubation times and a smaller scaffold to plate ratio led to higher efficiency. Lower seeding densities also resulted in less wasted cells. In conclusion, optimizing these variables can improve cell seeding efficiency onto dermal scaffolds for in vitro studies.

High Content Screening of automated wound healing and cytotoxicity assays in ...HCS Pharma
This document describes experiments testing several known anti-cancer compounds in three assays: cytotoxicity in 2D cell culture, cytotoxicity in 3D spheroid culture, and a scratch (wound healing) assay. The assays were automated in a 96-well plate format. Results showed that cytotoxicity EC50 values were higher in 3D culture compared to 2D, due to the time needed for compounds to reach the spheroid center. The scratch assay could distinguish between compounds that cause cell cycle arrest and cell death. Automating the 3D cytotoxicity and scratch assays in a high-throughput format allows efficient testing of compounds for poly-effective anti-cancer activity.

This document provides an overview of Muslim extremism from a historical perspective. It discusses key figures and events that helped shaped extremist movements like Salafism, Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda, and Hamas. These include Ibn Taamiya in the Middle Ages, Sayyid Qutb and his influential book Milestones, and current leaders like Ayman al-Zawahiri, Usama bin Laden, and Khalid Mashal of Hamas. The document also examines the roles of Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, and Muqtada al-Sadr in relation to extremism.
The document discusses the origin and history of terrorism in Pakistan. It traces terrorism back to Pakistan's support for the mujahideen in the Soviet-Afghan war in the 1980s. After the Soviet withdrawal, various militant groups fought for control of Afghanistan, leading to the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s. In the aftermath of 9/11 and the US invasion of Afghanistan, Pakistan became embroiled in the war on terror as militant groups attacked the country. This led to large-scale military operations against terrorists. However, the impacts of terrorism have been immense, damaging Pakistan's economy, infrastructure, and loss of many lives.
The document discusses globalization and its characteristics. Globalization is defined as a process where time and space constraints diminish as countries have more frequent and important interactions, forming an integrated world. Key characteristics of globalization include breaking time and space constraints through advances in transportation and communication, increasing mobility of capital, resources, goods and people, and more economic, political and cultural integration between countries through growing networks and establishment of transnational rules. Globalization is perceived both as an opportunity through economic growth and cultural exchange, and as a threat such as unemployment, inequality and reduced cultural diversity. Major drivers of globalization are identified as developments in transportation, communication technology, and mass media.
The document discusses the reasons for the second phase of Western imperialism and colonialism in South and Southeast Asia from the 18th to 19th centuries. It describes factors that drove Western nations to further seek colonies in the region, such as mercantilism, capitalism, and nationalism. It also explains the methods used by Western powers to establish colonies, including treaties, military conquest, and encouraging migration. The effects of colonialism and imperialism on the local populations are discussed, such as exploitation of resources and introduction of new governing systems.

The document emphasizes understanding differences in cultural variables to improve intercultural business communications.
The document discusses the reasons for the expansion of Western colonialism and imperialism in Southeast and South Asia between the 18th and 19th centuries. It cites factors such as mercantilism, capitalism, and the belief in the White Man's Burden that drove Western nations to establish more colonies in Asia. This allowed them to extract raw materials and find new markets for their goods, helping their economies grow. However, it also disrupted local societies and economies in Asia.
This document discusses various aspects of globalization including economic, technological, cultural, political, and military dimensions. It provides examples of each, such as multinational corporations representing economic globalization. Technological globalization is exemplified by the growth of the World Wide Web. Hollywood movies spreading American culture globally illustrates cultural globalization. The United Nations and its member states demonstrate political globalization. Alliances like NATO and the proliferation of weapons show military globalization at work.

The guiding principles include freedom, sovereignty, relations with Muslim countries and the UN Charter. The objectives are to promote Pakistan as a progressive Islamic democracy and develop economic and security cooperation while safeguarding national interests. Major challenges include security concerns post 9/11, safeguarding sovereignty against drone attacks, combating terrorist labeling, and issues in Baluchistan. Recommendations are to clearly communicate Pakistan's stance and pursue diplomatic efforts to address challenges.
Why the world project Muslims as a terrorist?Karma Tashi
The document discusses the history and evolution of terrorism from ancient groups like the Sicarii and Hashashin to modern religiously motivated groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS. It notes that terrorism has existed throughout history but became prominent internationally in the late 20th century. While religiously motivated terrorism is a major threat today, the document also discusses terrorist acts committed by groups associated with Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity to demonstrate that terrorism exists across many religions and ideologies. It concludes by arguing that most religions primarily preach peace and do not support violence, and ordinary religious people should not be viewed as terrorists.
This document discusses the gentrification of West Town in Chicago from the 1950s to present. It describes how urban renewal displaced low-income, mostly minority residents through policies and marketing tactics that excluded these groups. Real estate agents played a key role in acquiring cheap housing and networking affluent buyers to steadily expand gentrification. Government and private organizations supported gentrification over efforts to address the needs of long-term residents through affordable housing or community services. The Puerto Rican community in particular struggled against displacement that threatened their culture, community, and place to live.
The Mandaeans are an ancient Gnostic sect that originated in Mesopotamia over 2,000 years ago. They have faced centuries of persecution which has led to the loss of most of their written history and the scattering of their community across multiple countries. In recent decades, violence and persecution in Iraq has caused over 95% of the Mandaean population to flee, leaving only around 3,500 remaining in Iraq and threatening their culture and religion with extinction. International organizations are calling for assistance to help resettle Mandaean refugees and preserve their unique heritage.
The Plight Of The Mandaeans, Boston 011409Orengulasa
The Mandaeans are an ancient Gnostic sect that originated in Mesopotamia over 2,000 years ago. They have faced centuries of persecution which has led to their population declining from 60,000 in Iraq to just 3,500 today as most have fled the country. The mass exodus from Iraq following the US invasion and rise in violence has scattered the Mandaean community across many countries, posing an enormous threat to their cultural survival. There are calls to grant them priority refugee status and help establish a sustainable community in the US to preserve their unique and endangered culture, traditions, and language.
Refuting accusations against islam and muslimsEmad salih
The document provides background information on Islam, including the biography of Prophet Muhammad, the five pillars of Islam, and common misconceptions. It discusses the major conflicts in Middle East history from the Mongol invasion to the Arab-Israeli conflict and American interventions. It seeks to clarify what jihad means in Islam and that extremist behavior and terrorism contradict Islamic teachings of mercy, justice, and peace. Statistics are given showing the vast majority of Muslims strongly reject extremism and violence against civilians.
Religious Conflict, Attachment and PsychopathologyVictor Counted
This document summarizes a presentation on how religious attachment theory can help explain religious conflict and psychopathology. It discusses how individuals can form attachments to religious figures in the same way they form attachments to caregivers. Disruptions to these religious attachments through things like disrespecting religious symbols can trigger defensive responses of protest, despair, or detachment in some individuals. It provides examples of terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, and actions of Pastor Terry Jones to illustrate how their violent acts could be interpreted as coming from a place of disrupted religious attachment and a desire to defend that attachment. The presentation concludes that religious violence may be a byproduct of disrupted attachment processes within a group.
The document provides an overview of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency, including its origins, organization, activities, and psychology. Some key points:
- ISI was founded in 1948 and acts as Pakistan's primary military intelligence agency. It has expanded significantly over the decades and been implicated in supporting terrorist groups.
- ISI is led by a Director General and has various directorates focused on political, external, administrative, and military intelligence operations. It employs over 25,000 personnel drawn from Pakistan's armed forces.
- In Central India, ISI's activities include using the region as a safe haven for terrorists, fomenting communal violence, and coordinating militant groups to conduct attacks
This document discusses racial inequality and its socio-economic impacts. It notes that racialized groups experience higher rates of poverty and unemployment than white groups in Toronto. Racialized individuals are also more likely to experience police surveillance and carding. The conflict theory perspective is discussed, which views racial tensions as a way for the wealthy to divide the working class and exploit minority labor. While tolerance has increased, racism remains a significant problem in Canada, and greater government programs, access to services, education, and awareness are needed to make progress on this issue.
Imperialism refers to the policy of extending a nation's authority over foreign territories or people. It has historically been used to justify acquiring lands and asserting political and economic dominance. There are varying degrees of imperialism from direct colonial rule to weaker forms like neo-colonialism. Motives for imperialism include economic gains, prestige, security, and surplus population adjustment. While it provided some benefits like development, imperialism is ultimately seen as inherently exploitative, undemocratic, and a violation of human rights. Decolonization movements have succeeded in dismantling some traditional forms of imperialism and colonial rule.
The document summarizes the political, social, religious, economic and military causes of the First War of Indian Independence in 1857. The key political causes included the annexation of states under the Doctrine of Lapse, disrespect shown to the Mughal emperor and mistreatment of the rulers of Awadh and Jhansi. Socially and religiously, British interference in Indian customs and laws banning practices like sati angered Hindus and Muslims. The economic impact included loss of jobs and livelihoods after states were annexed. All these factors contributed to a widespread revolt against British rule in 1857.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

103. DEFINITION
“Suicidal bombings” means
PERSON + BOMB = SUICIDE+KILLS
But is too restrictive (cars & jets )
“martyrdom operations” places the
emphasis upon the cause of the
perpetrators, implying a connection to
the notions of “holy war”
“Predatory martyrdom” is still vague
and unclear.
104. “Suicide attacks,” is more appropriate,
means events where the “success” of the
operation cannot occur without the death
of the perpetrator, and he or she is
apparently aware of this in advance.
These attacks are carried out to force
invaders out, to fight religious wars, to
take revenge, to challenge the
government, to fight for ones freedom as
one perceives it, and to instill terror and
fear and to paralyze.

taking, and attacks on airliners.
many people date the initiation of suicide
attacks to the October 1983 destruction of the
U.S.Marine barracks in Beirut by a truck
bomb, killing 241 off-duty U.S. soldiers and
injuring more than 100 others, a similar truck
bomb exploded at the French peacekeeping

108. 1st
Suicide Attack in Pakistan
May 08th
,2002
“A suicide bomber blew up a bus in
Pakistan's port city of Karachi, killing 14
people – most of them French nationals –
including himself. The huge morning blast
outside the posh Sheraton Hotel also left 24
people wounded. It is a pointed retaliation at
Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf's
crackdown on Islamic militant groups and for
his allowing US troops to cross the Pakistani
border to hunt down Al Qaeda fighters.” The
News. Karachi
109. MOTIVATION (personal)
Religious ( 72 virgins, heaven,70 relatives
in heaven, marriage to shaheed for
women)
Economical (money and hefty benefits for
family)
Political( anger and dissatisfaction)
Social ( sense of uselessness, no
purpose, no respect)
110. MOTIVATION (organisational)
suicide attacks generally result in a larger
number of casualties than other attacks
suicide attacks usually attract more publicity
symbolic value of martyrdom for a cause, not
only in Islamic cultures but in other cultures as
well.
suicide attackers are sometimes seen by
sponsoring organizations as assets whose loss
generates a net gain.
suicide attacks are financially inexpensive:
111. No need to fear capture, interrogation,
trial, imprisonment and the accompanying
humiliation of the attacker
no need to provide an escape route for the
attacker, the complexity of the plan is
greatly reduced
Security agencies scared and wary
Great and grave problem for the
government.
112. WAY FORWARD FOR PAKISTAN .
Education of the masses
General awareness against this evil
No half-hearted measures of the military and
the establishment in dealing with this,
The political use of Islam by the state should be
curtailed
Military operations to destroy the physical
infrastructure of the groups, efforts to cut off
funding, and/or preemptive strikes designed to
capture or kill leaders
113. Vigorous human and technical intelligence
gathering, is vital. Good intelligence can
provide critical information on a terrorist group’s
dynamics.
Efforts to reducing the potential recruitment
ability of terrorist groups
Economic disparity, political injustice if possible
should be reduced sp in areas where
recruitment occurs
War against terror, how far can we go, how far
should we go.
114. CONCLUSION
95%OF ALL SUICIDE ATTACKS IN RECENT
TIMES HAVE HAD ONE GOAL, TO CAUSE
AN OCCUPYING FORCE TO WITHDRAW,
WE SHOULD TAKE A MINUTE AND THINK
WHY TODAY WE FACE THE 2ND
HIGHEST
RATE OF SUICIDE ATTACKS IN THE
WORLD. ARE WE OCCUPIERS OF OUR
OWN PEOPLE, OUR OWN LAND, OUR OWN
NATION. SOME WHERE SOME PLACE
SOME THING IS DEFINITELY AND
TERRIBLY WRONG
