Someone asked, “How can I become famous?” He was told, “Go and defecate in the mosque.”
Author: Dr. Fazlmanullah Mumtaz, former spokesman for the Islamic Party of Afghanistan, especially for "Sangar"
Ibn al-Jawzi, one of the scholars of the Islamic world, wrote a book called “The News of the Foolish and the Careless.” It contains the following story: “Once the Foolish and the Careless went on a journey together. The Careless said to the fool, “Let’s make wishes.” The Foolish said, “I hope to have a flock of sheep and profit from their dairy products.” “I hope to have a pack of wolves,” said the careless person, “so I can send them to eat your sheep and enjoy the moment.”
Of course, they became furious and began fighting. At last, they decided that whoever crossed their path first would be the judge between them. The first person they came across was a sheikh carrying a jar of honey, and both told their story. The Sheikh was astonished at the gravity of their stupidity and poured honey on the ground, saying, "May God shed my blood like this, for you both are indeed absolute fools."
Unfortunately, even after 30 years, some are still immersed in stupidity and harbor the same old desires. They still hope to become the masters of the throne and the president of Afghanistan and are ready to launch their blind missiles again at the common people of Kabul like ravenous wolves, without distinguishing between friends and foes.
Mr. Gulbuddin Hekmatyar told Tolo News that the claim that 60,000 people died in the Kabul wars is not true. “Only six thousand people died,” he said. Hekmatyar's adviser Amin Karim even contradicted these figures of his leader in the same Tolo News and said: "According to the exact statistics that I got from the hospitals and the streets of Kabul for five years of war and was personally present, the number of people killed in the civil war in Kabul was recorded at three thousand, no more, no less." This means that this gentleman collected data on the number of people killed in wars in Kabul every 24 hours for five years.
Well, without any forensic examination, let's say sixty thousand, and not six thousand, as Hekmatyar says, or three thousand, as another idiot says. Are these figures insignificant and meaningless? Were they allowed to kill so many people? The interesting thing is that even now, the thirst of these forgetful people to shed the blood of thousands of people is not quenched!
These days, Mr. Amin Karim is stirring up another provocation and lie. The big slander is against Professor Burhanuddin Rabbani, who allegedly said during a meeting with him, “After 250 years, we have freed ourselves from the rule of the Pashtuns.” We were and remain opponents of Professor Rabbani, but our differences have never forced us to cross any red lines of Islamic and human ethics.
In the Holy Quran, regarding the judgment of those who oppose Allah Almighty, He says: “O you who believe! Always uphold Allah and bear witness to righteousness. Do not let enmity towards a group of people lead you to sin and abandon justice. Be just, for that is closer to piety.”
This student of the true school of hypocrisy has once again awakened a dormant provocation. In a noble hadith, it is said: “May Allah curse the one who awakens a sleeping fitna.”
First of all, it should be noted that Mr. Amin, at that time, did not have the opportunity to meet Professor Rabbani, the then head of the Afghan government. He did not have an official title and was not introduced by any prominent person or the Islamic Party. He was not even an important person within the Islamic Party.
When did Amin appear on the media and political scene? Amin Karim was first introduced to the media in the political arena in 2014 during the presidential elections by me, the press secretary of the campaign team of Engineer Qutbuddin Hilal, the presidential candidate. He was introduced as one of the press secretaries of the team. After that, due to the intelligence games in the failed peace process between the Islamic Party and the Ghani government, he appeared in the political arena and media; that is, he was a previously unknown person.
Another question: What is Amin Karim thinking, spreading such lies, especially at this time? In response, it should be said that from the point of view of studying thoughts, if you look closely, he thought and thinks only about how to find his political place and role. During Ghani's rule, he made a lot of effort to become the mayor of Kabul, but he became an adviser to Rula Ghani. But this did not last long either, as Ghani fired him in a humiliating manner due to some of his questionable actions and connections with the ISI.
After recent events, he sometimes introduces himself as an adviser to the Foreign Minister Mullah Muttaqi and sometimes as an adviser to the UN representative in Afghanistan, which means that he is hungry for fame and power. With these brazen and inflammatory lies, he wants to win the hearts and attention of a certain group of people.
This gentleman is not even a supporter of the Islamic Party and Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, although he pretends to be. In some circles, he has stated that the Islamic Party is a family party, that is, a party of sons-in-law and princes.
In short, today, thanks to technology, Amin Karim's suspicious and dubious actions are recorded in history, and his sinister intentions will never be realized. Finally, the same question that someone once asked applies to him: "How can I become famous?" He was told, "Go and defecate in the mosque."
