Date:This is a close up view of what the Pakistani Mohammedans (actually, all Mohammedans) deem as legitimate war and a valid reason to wage it. As we go on, we will see radical departure from the Geneva Convention of today when comparing Pakistani codes of war. If the Pakistanis had not used the ‘Quranic concept of war’ in their wars in the past, that was because the Pakistanis were not capable of giving shape to their intentions. They were too weak both in organizational and military capabilities. What they lacked in their competence in war-making activities, they tried to make up by the crudeness of the executions; and thus we are faced with gruesome murders by mutilations of the captive enemy soldiers. Mindless slaughter of captive soldiers or airmen by gouging out eyes or point- blank shooting. Admittedly, there was a time when such conventions did not exist and anything went. One has only to open the pages of history books of any country where past wars have been truthfully described as they had been fought.
A few words on the book itself. The book was first published by Wajid Alis Ltd. in Lahore, Pakistan prior to 1986. The first Indian reprint appeared in 1986. The Indian reprint was published by the Himalayan Books of New Delhi 110 013. At that time, the book could be obtained from The English Book Store, 17-L, Connaught Place, New Delhi 110 001. Now apparently, the book has disappeared from the Indian market. Quite possibly, the idea is to keep the Indian public ignorant of the contents of the book. It is the same with all important parts of the Koran. Everything is thus submerged under the doctrine of ‘Sarva Dharma Sama Bhava’.
