What Change Mr.Zaid ?
December 15, 2009 24 Comments
Zaid Hamid, a self proclaimed defense analyst and a famous anti-India TV personality of Pakistan. Out of nowhere this guy has taken the media and the people by storm. With his excellent oration skills, he entertains his audience by presenting all sorts of conspiracy theories, from labeling Hamid Mir a CIA agent to claiming that the neocons want to ‘de-islamize’ Pakistan, as if we already have not been de-islamized.
Blaming the CIA, RAW and Mossad for every wrong in the country, Zaid Hamid appears on talk shows on a daily basis, saying that the only way Pakistan can come out of the present situation is by ‘changing the system’. This ‘changing the system’ chant of Zaid Hamid has disturbed me since day one. What does he really want ? He talks about some Islamic system, based on the ideology of Iqbal, and I thought an Islamic system should be based on the ideology of Islam. Perhaps we might see the ‘Khilafat-e-Zaid”, where Zaid Hamid will be the absolute ruler of the country, waging nuclear wars against India, Israel and of course the USA.
The Pakistani people are heavily influenced by the media, Zaid Hamid is making full use of it, and a lot of people are actually believing these conspiracy theories. On several occasions Zaid Hamid has stated that “we” are going to bring a revolution that will change the system, once and for all. Mind you the Taliban have also repeatedly demanded their own Islamic system in the country.
The government seems to be least worried about these conspiracy theorists, perhaps not realizing how much popularity they have gained and the potential threat they impose to the state, Pakistan is not a playground where people can come to demand their own rules.
Zaid Hamid also has a very controversial history, for which I would recommend you to read “Who is Zaid Zaman Hamid? Brasstacks or Yousuf Kazzab Prophecy?“.
