Publications Hate crimes against Muslims: Is American identity at stake? Page2 Blasting News November 14, 2016 Authors: Umer Mumtaz Will you consider yourself American if you do not follow the U.S. Constitution? That may be the most important question for all Americans. They assume geography equals identity, which here is citizenship. Legally this is true but is it a sufficient definition of American identity?

Whither Social Development The Nation October 3, 2010 Authors: Umer Mumtaz Imagine picking up a newspaper and reading, as the headline, that the President and the leader of opposition party in that same country have had a duel.

September 14, 2010 Authors: Umer Mumtaz We celebrated another literacy Day yet again with full agreement that an International Literacy Day would hardly make any difference in Pakistan as education has always been very low on government priority here. Certainly, the number of schools in our country keeps increasing, or so we hope but there is the other less encouraging news that the number of dropouts is also increasing.

The widening gap between the rich and the poor is creating extreme inequalities in access to, and control of, resources, including knowledge and opportunity.

Ezine Articles August 24, 2010 Authors: Umer Mumtaz Man on the first level, or - logically speaking - Man as a species, is in the intermediary stage between the Absolute and the world, and, as an intermediary, occupies the highest position in the hierarchy of the created beings. As soon as we begin to consider Man on the individual level, however, we cannot help noticing the existence of many degrees. Otherwise expressed, on the cosmic level Man himself is the Perfect Man, but on the individual level not all men are 'perfect'; on the contrary, only a few deserve the title of the Perfect Man. Ibn 'Arabi recognizes in the Perfect Man a particular kind of mystifying power. This is hardly to be wondered at, because the Perfect Man, as a "knower" (Arif), is by definition a man with an unusually developed spiritual power. His mind naturally shows an extraordinary activity.

Youths are frequently referenced as the future of a nation. The idea that the upcoming generations will achieve more than the previous generations is an important driver for political and social policies. However, despite their ultimately important role in human society, the legal and political status of youths is precarious. While they are fully human, they are not independent and they face significant limitations of their freedom imposed by their parents, elders and government.

This is a welcome development especially given that the world body was not in sync with changing global realities even before the United States resorted to its divisive war in Iraq.

Reports in the business press had been clamouring for a price hike to protect the earnings of the oil companies, private as well as public. More peculiarly, industries have also advocated an increase although a hike in prices would badly affect the sector. Those urging a price hike base their case on two grounds: first, the ongoing optimism in international crude oil prices requires a shift of retail prices and second, the public sector oil companies have to be (if not publicly) rewarded for their increasing losses.

You very rightly pointed out: “It is plain that America is finding it hard to bury the past and its policies towards Iran are determined more by an animus rather than objective geo-strategic considerations.” Read more: http://www.dawn.com/news/- Peace at last Daily Times September 13, 2005 Authors: Umer Mumtaz Israel is involved in a difficult and complex peace process, which, under the best of circumstances, will take years to complete. But Israel's long cherished dream of peace with the Arab world appears to be within reach, and American Jews will continue to be involved in efforts to advance this objective.

The ranking is by the Human Development Index (HDI) based on three parameters: longevity, educational achievement and ability to buy basic goods and services. Pakistan is now ranked 135th among 177 nations. Last year it had been 142nd. Of course, there is still little room for complacency. Clearly the Pakistani policy makers need to pay more attention to the unacceptably high infant mortality level (103 per 1,000 live births) and the maternal mortality rate (500 per 100,000). Life expectancy at birth (62.04 for males and 64.01 for females) is also low compared to other countries in the region. The time is ripe Pak Tribune January 8, 2013 Authors: Umer Mumtaz Page5 Pakistan's system has almost been destroyed and wiped out. Widespread kidnapping for ransom in broad daylight, terrorism, revival of sectarian murders, acute religious intolerance, wholesale duping and swindling of government and public funds/resources, shortage of electricity and gas, corruption and crimes of all sorts in both high and low places have now teamed together to become the accepted 'system' of today's Pakistan. The spirit of servant-leadership is completely missing as a desired feature and quality in elected officials who come to office. http://paktribune.com/news/The-time-is-ripe-By-Umer-256395.html Still a long way to go Daily Times March 17, 2005 Authors: Umer Mumtaz I believe that the authorities have to take stern steps against our corrupt leaders. We are merely waiting for the day when Pakistani politics is cleaned up, but have little confidence that we will see this happen. http://archives.dailytimes.com.pk/editorial/17-Mar-2005/letters Rwanda, for instance The Nation September 1, 2010 Authors: Umer Mumtaz The lynching of two teenaged brothers in Sialkot is perhaps the most brutal of all incidents we have seen in recent times. I for one think neither cyclical downturns nor disparities in living standards have a relation with the widespread occurrences of hate crimes of this nature. According to sociological research, the hate crimes occur not because of any worsening of the economic conditions but mostly because of a breakdown in law enforcement and encouragement of civil disobedience. Instead of viewing these hate crimes as a response associated with poverty or ignorance, I suggest we view it as a response to political conditions. http://nation.com.pk/letters/01-Sep-2010/Rwanda-for-instance Media coverage The News September 3, 2010 Authors: Umer Mumtaz The media coverage of terrorist attacks has now become a need of the Pakistani public which wants to stay updated about security-related events. But even when the coverage of such attacks are carried out well, and the delicate balance between journalistic responsibilities and civic duty is maintained by employing editorial and administrative considerations, especially during the live coverage, those in the electronic media must determine how long should the live transmission last? Should it continue until the last victim is evacuated from the attack scene? Should the TV channels continue their coverage until the site has been cleaned? Or should the transmission end as soon as the viewers have been informed and there is no more new information to broadcast? Should the TV channel teams be sent to the hospitals or to the homes of the sufferers in order to document their misfortune? Page6 http://www.thenews.com.pk/Todays-News-11-2756-Media-coverage Dystopian dreams Daily Times May 3, 2005 Authors: Umer Mumtaz There is rising concern that President Bush is unable to grasp the increasingly grim reality of Iraq's security situation because he refuses to listen to that type of information, or does not want to hear "bad news." Bush makes it clear that all he wants are "progress reports," where they exist, and those facts that seem to support his declared mission in Iraq # to build democracy. http://archives.dailytimes.com.pk/editorial/03-May-2005/letters Democracy is at stake The Nation October 1, 2010 Authors: Umer Mumtaz I can argue as to how far we have come on the road to a more just society or how much farther we have to go. Our political figures have been promoting a road to a past that never existed and to a future where nobody really wants to go. Negotiations on Kashmir Daily Times January 4, 2005 Authors: Umer Mumtaz In launching "peace initiatives", Mr Singh's government gained a high moral ground. Between Gen Musharraf's agenda of establishing the centrality of the Kashmir issue and Mr Singh's attempts to broad base the dialogue, however, the task of fine-tuning Kashmir's negotiating strategy seems the most important front. http://archives.dailytimes.com.pk/editorial/04-Jan-2005/letters Police brutality Daily Times June 4, 2005 Authors: Umer Mumtaz This is with reference to your editorial "Police brutality" printed on June 1. Human rights violations committed by police and barriers to investigation, redress, and prosecution, are found common shortcomings in all the cities of Pakistan (likewise Cairo and Mumbai). These fall into three basic categories: lack of effective accountability, persistent failure to investigate and punish officers who commit human rights violations, and obstacles to justice. http://archives.dailytimes.com.pk/editorial/04-Jun-2005/letters Time to withdraw from Iraq Daily Times September 16, 2004 Authors: Umer Mumtaz Page7 The violence in Iraq seems never ending. Just yesterday came the news that 75 more people have been killed in Baghdad, this time due to a car bomb explosion. Thus it is obvious that staying the course in Iraq will not benefit anyone. http://archives.dailytimes.com.pk/editorial/16-Sep-2004/letters Fix up Daily Times January 19, 2005 Authors: Umer Mumtaz Killings, lootings and vehicle snatchings are increasing day by day across the province, leaving the police absolutely helpless to control the growing menace. On the other hand, citizens' anxieties are mounting as the police use delaying tactics while registering FIRs. People's complaints about the police are also on the rise. Half-hearted attempts at overhauling the corrupt and inefficient law enforcement system have left the field open for criminals to carry on with their activities. The failure of our judicial system has also contributed to bringing the situation to its current appalling state. Equals before the law? May 24, 2005 Authors: Umer Mumtaz It is difficult to decide which of the two promises made by the government is older: the one to provide speedy justice or to reduce poverty. What is indisputable is the fact that both these assurances have been made for so long that they have stopped being taken seriously. Only when the tall promises translate into actual deeds will the flurry of activity hold any meaning.

Our economy is poised at a point of 'take off', where our achievements can be accelerated. I believe that we have reached a stage in our development process, wherein we can achieve far more in the next 10 to 15 years than we have done in the last 58 years since independence.

The Bush administration is resolved to act against Iran # with or without UN support. Page8 In language that evokes the lies and threats employed before the US attack on Iraq, John Bolton, the US ambassador to UN, provocatively stated: "If the UN can't cope with the proliferation of nuclear weapons, can't cope with the greatest threat we have with a country like Iran # that is one of the leading state sponsors of terrorism # if the Security Council can't cope with that, you have a real question of what it can cope with."

Five thousand schools have been closed due to the low numbers of teachers. Naturally, it is the students who suffer the most. They also have to cope with the phenomenon of absenteeism rampant among schoolteachers posted in such areas.

Is there a brighter future ahead for all Pakistanis? To answer this question, we must recognise that four things are critically necessary for effectively reducing poverty in Pakistan. The first of these is political will. From the very highest authority, the reduction of poverty must be declared as a top priority. All government policies and programmes must be evaluated in terms of their impact on the problem of poverty. All issues should be evaluated on the basis of this one single overriding question: what consequences will this have in the dealing with the problems of those living below the poverty line.

It is a social construct, like a school playground, or innovation. Accordingly, there can be no democracy without its caretakers, the democratic citizens. And who nurtures and cares for them? Parents, peers, educators, corporations, the media, social forces are all responsible, but among them educators are the primary stewards of democracy. They must intentionally inculcate the democratic ideal.

These interests include ensuring consistent access to the petroleum reserves in the Gulf, preventing terrorism and the spread of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) in the Middle East, and supporting its own investment. Supporting the stability of friendly Arab countries, including Egypt, Morocco, Jordan and the Gulf monarchies have been the main tools for achieving these goals since 1991.

We have sought survival and acceptance # security and peace. Peace requires that we have faith in its sublime essence. Genuine peacemaking requires conviction and determination, vision and a profound understanding of peace's inherent worth. Peacemaking requires a consistency of purpose and the unwavering drive to find creative solutions to complex problems through negotiations and treaties. It demands the willingness to create a new reality. This understanding of peace must be inculcated to the wider population and our partners to peace negotiations.

Child workers are seen as part of a cheap and submissive labour force and are thus subjected to mass exploitation. If one takes a quick walk around the Committee Chowk area, one will see a great number of children working in the various hotels, restaurants and shops. Many of these children are below 14 years of age. They earn as little as Rs 400 to 500 per month and are forced to work up to 16 hours a day.

Hundreds of children in our country have been forced into Page10 labour owing either to non-schooling or to school dropouts at the initial stage. Child Labour has become increasingly newsworthy in Pakistan.

It is an important part of our lives and has much to teach. But some of what it teaches may not be what we want our youngsters to learn. Teenagers develop attitudes about violence at a very young age and these tend to last.

There is a tacit acceptance that all political parties have been equally poor at governance and in addressing the concerns of the people. If the structure and composition of the existing political formations are to become responsive to public perceptions, they will have to pull themselves up. Unfortunately, the same old faces mouthing the usual cliche's inspire little hope that this can happen in the foreseeable future. US presidential election DAWN October 30, 2004 Authors: Umer Mumtaz The US presidential election inches ever closer, and it will be a big election. Probably one of the biggest. Many people have decided that they will vote for John Kerry and many have decided they shall vote for George W. Bush. John Kerry would be the better president. He has been through a massive war, fought to be a senator, and is all for the American way. Bush, on the other hand, has failed every company he has owned, has started a war that will simply not cease, and completely ignored the country's needs. Bush has become a warlord.

The reported figures are heart wrenching: The year 2003 took the lead with 1,030 reported rapes; as many as 3,720 cases were reported to the police during the past five years. Why does rape take place? Is it a crime peculiar to Pakistan? Who are the perpetrators? What can we do to stop this crime? Page11 Punishing the victims Daily Times September 17, 2005 Authors: Umer Mumtaz The sad truth is that our society in general tends to judge the rape victim, not the rapists. It is she who has to hide her face in shame, not the criminals. And those who are shocked by the act believe that rape is an issue best kept locked up in the social cupboard. How does one judge how civilised a society is? Arguably, the bestial crimes against women that are committed and the quality of justice they obtain could be a realistic parameter for judging this. How does our country fare on this front?

Atrocities on women, in the general state of lawlessness, are neither new nor rare. But what is traumatic, more so for the victims, is the government’s biased approach and the effort to politicize crime. One can’t fight a corrupt system and expect justice particularly when the guilty enjoy official and political patronage.

Economic growth has not conformed to the principle of social justice. Wealth remains concentrated in the hands of a few individuals, families and classes. The benefits of development have not percolated to the lowest levels of society, resulting in gross disparities between the rich and the poor. Social injustice is fertile ground for the growth of extremism.

As a disciplined force in the midst of an undisciplined society, a symbol of justice, and a visible arm of the law, police officials have the supreme duty of earning credibility and respect in the eyes of the people. There must be no space for crime. However, our history so far shows that our police have also involved themselves in commission of barbaric acts.

Natural disasters put Pakistan to an extreme version of this test. The charitable impulse at the root of much aid-giving is at its most potent during flood. It is, however, a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it raises lots of money and, on the other, it stifles questions about the uses to which this money is put — and makes those who ask such questions look rather churlish.

We haven't given a serious thought to their future; otherwise, scores of young children would not be frittering away the best part of their childhood at railway platforms, under traffic lights and public places, and nor would hundreds of homeless children be sleeping on the streets.

If it is not, there will be no real peace in the region. One of the reasons Syria has clung to Lebanon for so long # indeed, the major reason for the present "time of danger" in relations between the two countries # is because it believes it must at all costs prevent Lebanon from concluding a separate peace with Israel. A separate Lebanese peace would cause Syria's own claim to the Golan Heights to be sidelined and, opening the door to Israeli influence in Beirut, would cause further problems for Syria.

Arguably, the reason Iran is provoking the US is because it feels threatened by the US, and has noticed that the countries that have nuclear weapons # Israel, Russia, India, Pakistan, China, and North Korea # seem to be treated a lot better by the US than countries like Syria, Iraq and Vietnam.

Under the ruse of "eliminating terrorists and terrorism" from Pakistan, described as win-win for the country, the Bush administration has, wittingly or unwittingly, set Pakistan against itself, which can be seen through the US military's interference in North Waziristan.

Today’s Native people are affected by the new world economy in ways that resemble third world living. This study looks at a few of the major historical events that set indigenous Americans in the position which they are in today. It then looks at how these people transformed things in the 1960s through the formation of the American Indian Movement (AIM). As a result of the work of AIM this study follows through and sees how the global economy is affecting indigenous American culture today and how they are dealing with the new world economy. Finally, this paper examines how they are holding their culture together in this economy through family, spiritual beliefs, activism and other mechanisms of sociology.
