The Rand Report on COIN (Counter Insurgency) - againts "Violent Islam"???

Muslims should be aware that under GWOT, Islam, its "violent" form, is now under direct attack from many western, prestigious/credible Think Tanks. They have made it very clear based on the numerous reports they have published (here is one from RAND Org:http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/2008/RAND_MG595.2.sum.pdf). Now, who do they categorize as "violent Islam"? Sunnis of course.

Below is an excerpt from the RAND report: DEFINING THE PROBLEM

Letter to the Sun by Dato Rejal Arbee: A rebuttal on Ts Ramon Navaratnam decription of Barrack Obama

Dear All,

My letter to the Sun
________________

I find Tan Sri Ramon Navaratnam’s description of Barrack Obama’s election as the 44th President of the United States as being remarkable for an African-American (the Sun Fri Nov 9th) and that it could be a lesson for Malaysia as intriguing.

An open comment to all our "Wakils" on both sides of the aisle

Dear All,

The writer of the following comment is my first cousin whose late father, Abdul Aziz Awang Mustapha aka "Bhai" was the kolet headboy in 1951/52. He did not joined kolet although his elder brother did. He is in his mid 30s and I can assure you that what he wrote is more or less representative of the opinions of many among his peer group (my eldest son included).

Fiat Sapientia Virtus (FSV): What it means to me

Dear fellow mcobs,

With permission granted by the author of the following article, who was my dorm mate in Ahmad House, I am delighted to share his thoughts on FSV with fellow mcobs. FSV, throughout the decades, can be interpreted and/or deliberately "misimplemented" differently in accordance to the environment then. Those in Class 2000 up to now would not be able to visualise, maybe, for example, what the author meant by: (had to be on duty to pull out the signal light on the left side of the car when it malfunctioned more than once), in sync with my dad's commands.

Mcobs in Parliament

Several members of the FSV Publication Sub-Committee, through the good office of YB Dato' Sri Nazri Aziz, were invited to parliament on a recent Wednesday in May. We managed to meet all of them; from both sides of the aisle; except YBM Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah who was not in Parliament on that particular Wednesday.

Malay Politics 101: Perception Management is Critical Success Factor (CSF) No.1

Dear All,

Among the educated critically thinking Malaysians; and obviously include all old boys of varied political inclinations; it is not uncommon for us to feel offended but mostly we sincerely feel that our political masters must have taken the electorate for fools.

Why is this so ?

Well, I can write a thesis on this phenomena but I would instead choose to ask readers whether they agree with my observation and if you do, why not provide an example.

Riding the THIRD Wave

I hv several questions?
 
1. Can anyone describe 3G to my 60 yr old friend, in layman's language of course ?
 
2. Can we assume that to be a Good Leader, one must first be a Good Manager ?
 
3. What would be the right thing to do should you fall in love age 60 ?
 
And finally, do you think WE can produce a version of WMD; strictly based on Thoughts Projection?
 
 
peace,
