Is the MeK a terrorist group? No. It used terrorism decades ago, when its members attacked Americans. For the last 15 years, however, the MeK has been organized as an army, and its only violent actions have been directed against the Iranian regime. Unlike Hezbollah (which targets Jewish community centers and shoots rockets into civilian areas), the MEK attacks specific regime targets. Unlike the PLO (whose leaders were terrorists more recently and arguably still are), the MEK really has foresworn this barbaric tactic. क्या मुजाहिदीने खल्क आतंकवादी संगठन है - नहीं, इसने दशकों पहले आतंकवाद का प्रयोग किया जब इसके सदस्यों ने अमेरिकनों पर हमला किया। पिछले 15 वर्षों में यद्यपि मुजाहिदीने खल्क एक सेना की भाँति संगठित हुआ परन्तु इसकी हिंसक गतिविधि केवल ईरानी शासन के प्रति रही। हिजबुल्लाह के विपरीत ( जो यहूदी सामुदायिक केन्द्रों को निशाना बनाता है और रिहाइशी इलाकों में राकेट दागता है ) मुजाहिदीन स्पष्ट रूप से शासन के लक्ष्यों को निशाना बनाता है। पी.एल.ओ के विपरीत ( जिसके नेता अभी हाल तक आतंकवादी थे और तर्क से आज भी हैं ) मुजाहिदीन ने यह बर्बर नीति पहले ही छोड़ दी है।

Analogy to Algeria : The Algerian army's intervened in the political process in 1992, just as Islamists there appeared to be on course to winning elections; this offers a comparison to the current situation in Egypt and raises the prospect of years of civil insurrection. But the analogy is not useful for Algeria experienced nothing like the mass opposition to Muslim Brotherhood rule in Egypt. It would be surprising if the Egyptian Islamists resorted to violence after their earlier experiences with this tactic and after seeing the vast numbers of their engaged opponents. अल्जीरिया का उदाहरण : 1992 में जब इस्लामवादी चुनाव जीतने वाले थे तो सेना ने राजनीतिक प्रक्रिया में हस्तक्षेप किया ; मिस्र की वर्तमान स्थिति से इसकी तुलना की जा सकती है और इससे अनेक वर्षों तक नागरिक विप्लव की सम्भावना बनती दिख रही है। परंतु यह उदाहरण अल्जीरिया के लिये उपयोगी नहीं है क्योंकि अल्जीरिया में ऐसा कोई विरोध नहीं हुआ जैसा कि मिस्र में मुस्लिम ब्रदरहुड के विरुद्ध जनता ने विरोध किया। यह आश्चर्यजनक होगा कि अपने पुराने अनुभव को देखते हुए और अपने विरोधियों को व्यापक रूप से उलझे हुए देखकर मिस्र के इस्लामवादी हिंसा पर उतर आयें।

On 28 December 2009 German computer engineer Karsten Nohl announced that he had cracked the A5/1 cipher.[14] According to Nohl, he developed a number of rainbow tables (static values which reduce the time needed to carry out an attack) and have found new sources for known plaintext attacks. He also said that it is possible to build “”a full GSM interceptor ... from open source components“” but that they had not done so because of legal concerns.[15]In 2010, threatpost.com reported that “”A group of cryptographers has developed a new attack that has broken Kasumi, the encryption algorithm used to secure traffic on 3G GSM wireless networks. The technique enables them to recover a full key by using a tactic known as a related-key attack, but experts say it is not the end of the world for Kasumi.“”[16] Kasumi is the name for the A5/3 algorithm, used to secure most 3G traffic. 17 फ़रवरी 2009 को GSM एसोसिएशन ने घोषणा करी कि वे मोबाइल फोन के लिए एक मानक चार्जर पर सहमत हुए हैं. 17 निर्माता जिसमें नोकिया सैमसंग और मोटोरोला शामिल थे उनके द्वारा अपनाया जाने वाला मानक चार्जर माइक्रो USB संबंधक होना चाहिए (कई मीडिया रिपोर्टों ने ग़लती से इसे मिनी-USB बताया).नए चार्जर मौजूदा चार्जरों से अधिक योग्य होंगे. सभी फोनों के लिए एक मानक चार्जर होने का मतलब है कि निर्माताओं को अब हर नए फ़ोन के लिए एक चार्जर की आपूर्ति नहीं करनी पड़ेगी.

* Ideological: Since Sept. 11, America has waged war against a tactic. When President Bush declared a “war against terrorism,” he ignored the real enemy - militant Islam, a brutal, totalitarian ideology. Not explicitly targeting militant Islam has been costly, hindering everything from airline security to sensible immigration policies. It renders Washington unable to explain why U.S. troops are only fighting in theatres in and around the Muslim world, or why certain Muslims warrant special attention from law enforcement. Worse, it means not identifying potential allies, especially moderate Muslims. Grade: D. विचारधारागत : 11 सितम्बर के पश्चात अमेरिका ने एक रणनीति के विरुद्ध युद्ध का आरम्भ किया है जब राष्ट्रपति बुश ने घोषणा की कि “ आतंकवाद के विरुद्ध युद्ध” उन्होंने ऐसा करते हुए वास्तविक शत्रु की अवहेलना की वह है उग्रवादी इस्लाम , एक क्रूर और अधिनायकवादी विचारधारा। स्पष्ट रूप से उग्रवादी इस्लाम को निशान न बनाना मँहगा पडा विमान की सुरक्षा से लेकर बुद्धिमत्तापूर्ण आप्रवास नीति तक। इससे वाशिंगटन यह व्याख्या कर पाने में असफल है कि अमेरिकी सेनायें केवल और केवल मुस्लिम विश्व के आस पास ही क्यों युद्ध कर रही हैं और कुछ मुस्लिम कानून प्रवर्तन संस्थाओं के निशाने पर विशेष रूप से क्यों हैं? इससे भी बुरा यह है कि इसके चलते सम्भावित सहयोगियों की पहचान नहीं हो पा रही है और वह है नरमपंथी मुस्लिम।

The new Palestinian tactic to eliminate Israel? The current upheaval may prompt Palestinians to conclude that violence doesn't take them where they want to go and they might emulate others in the region by shifting away from warfare and terrorism in favor of non-violent political action. That could include massive non-violent demonstrations such as marching on Israeli towns, borders, and checkpoints. Ironically, this shift could be to Israel's detriment. In some ways, it has benefited from Palestinian violence. That's in part because violence is ugly and in part because Israelis have proven themselves more capable in the military realm than the political one. A shift to the political realm could transform the conflict to Israel's detriment. I don't think the shift creates an opportunity for Israel because the goal remains unchanged: elimination of the Jewish state. मोमेंट पत्रिका ने पूछा , ” पिछले कुछ महीनों में मध्य पूर्व लोकतांत्रिक विद्रोह, जनता के प्रदर्शनों, कठोर दमन , राजनीतिक उथल पुथल और अन्तरराष्ट्रीय सैन्य हस्तक्षेप की लपट में आ गया है जिसने इस क्षेत्र की परम्परागत समझ को पूरी तरह ध्वस्त कर दिया है। इजरायल नये अस्थिर अरब जगत से घिरा होने के कारण और फिलीस्तीन के राज्य के स्वरूप ग्रहण करने की दिशा में बढने से सभी दिशाओं से अनिश्चितता की स्थिति का सामना कर रहा है । मोमेंट पत्रिका ने अरब के बसंत से उठे तूफान को सहन करने के लिये इजरायल के पास उपस्थित विकल्पों और अन्य स्थितियों पर मध्य पूर्व के अनेक विशेषज्ञों और चिन्तकों से राय जाननी चाही । इस सम्बंध में डैनियल पाइप्स का उत्तर यह रहा । सभी सोलह उत्तर यहाँ जानें

May 30, 2011 update :Balyoz keeps rolling along: less than two weeks before the general elections comes news today that Gen. Bilgin Balanlı , commander of the War Academies, has been arrested, making him the highest ranking active duty officer yet hauled off to prison. More broadly, 29 out of approximately 300 flag officers are under arrest. The deprivation of liberty of the 250 detained defendants in the Balyoz or Sledgehammer cases is arbitrary. … Consequent upon the opinion rendered, the Working Group requests the Government of Turkey to remedy the situation of these 250 persons in accordance with the provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The Working Group considers that, taking into account all the circumstances of the case, an adequate remedy would be an enforceable right to compensation. Aug. 5, 2013 update : Despite the weakness and fraud of its case, the AKP government has plowed ahead and today pronounced prison sentences in the other plot, the Ergenekon one dating from 2007. It includes top military officers, opposition politicians, and journalists. As Hürriyet Daily News summarizes the case, “A total of 275 suspects, 66 of them under arrest, were awaiting rulings this morning. Some 33 indictments have been submitted in the course of the Ergenekon trials, which saw over 130 witnesses testify at hearings.” The most spectacular piece of news is the life sentence given the former chief of general staff, İlker Başbuğ, but the list is a long and severe one. An excerpt from the Hürriyet Daily News article: Journalist Tuncay Özkan, retired general Veli Küçük and lawyer Kemal Kerinçsiz were sentenced to aggravated life sentences. Özkan was also sentenced to an additional 16 years. Workers' Party leader Doğu Perinçek received aggravated life sentence and an additional 30 years in prison. Retired colonel Fikri Karadağ and retired general Hasan Ataman Yıldırım also received aggravated life sentences. Retired General Hurşit Tolon was sentenced to life in prison while another retired General Levent Ersöz was sentenced to 22 years six months. The court handed down life sentences to the retired generals Hasan Iğsız and Nusret Taşdelen, as well as retired colonel Fuat Selvi. … Writer Yalçın Küçük was also sentenced to 22 years and six months in prison. On similar charges, the court sentenced former head of the Higher Education Board of Turkey (YÖK) Kemal Gürüz to 13 years and 11 months, historian Mehmet Perinçek, who is the son of Doğu Perinçek, to six years, and alleged mob leader Sedat Peker was given a 10 year sentence. Former North Sea Field Commander Mehmet Otuzbiroğlu was sentenced to 20 years and 6 months. Journalist Erol Manisalı was sentenced to nine years. Author Ergün Poyraz was handed down a 29 years and four months sentence while journalist Güler Kömürcü was sentenced to seven years and six months. Workers' Party (İP) executives Hayrettin Ertekin was sentenced to 16 years, Hikmet Çiçek was sentenced to 21 years and nine months. The party's lawyer Emcet Olcaytu received 13 years and two months. Former rectors Ferit Bernay and Mustafa Abbas were each sentenced to ten years in prison. … Former police chief Adil Serdar Saçan was sentenced to 14 years in prison. Former mayor Gürbüz Çapan received one year. Comment : Seen in the light of June's Gezi Park demonstrations, these sentences imply that Erdoğan is further doubling down to discredit, marginalize, and criminalize his political opponents. It's not a tactic that will end well for him.

Comment on this item तुर्की का इस्लामी मह्त्व इस बात की ओर संकेत करता है इस संकट का सभी मुसलमानों के लिये मह्त्व है। एकेपी द्वारा सेना पर इस्लामवादी नियंत्रण का अर्थ है कि वे उम्मा के सर्वाधिक शक्तिशाली सेक्युलर संस्थान को नियंत्रित कर रहे है और कुछ क्षणों के लिये ऐसा प्रतीत होता है कि उन्हें रोक पाना कठिन है। लेकिन यदि सेना अपनी स्वतंत्रता बचा पाती है तो अतातुर्क का विचार मुस्लिम समाज में जीवित रहेगा विश्वस्तर पर मुसलमानों के लिये व्यापक इस्लामवाद के लिये एक विकल्प मिल सकेगा।
