Who is Kazi Mahmood?

Written by Kazi Mahmood
Saturday, 03 March 2007
The editor of the on line magazine worked for the BBC radio Network Africa in the 1980's. He was then using the pen name Mahmood Kazi and was also correspondent to at least 3 African magazines based in London. His career as a journalist extends over a 24 years span, since he started writing for the magazines as early as 1982. Born in 1959 at Benares street, Port Louis on the Island of Mauritius – situated in southern Indian Ocean. Married and has a son who is now 9 years old. His son is a Malaysian citizen. He is currently writing a series of books based on the analysis that he writes for World Futures. The first book of this kind has been released in March 2006 and is entitled Iran Nuclear Standoff - Will America Strike? The book is available for sale on line and can be viewed by clicking on the book cover that can be seen on this page. More analysis books will be published by his company in the coming month, including one on Who is behind the Anti-Islam cartoons. He has lived in Malaysia for 15 years, having set foot in Kuala Lumpur in the late 1992. He left the BBC radio in 1993 and left the other magazines for which he was working as correspondent in 1992. Some of the magazines include Africa Now and African Business. He was also a correspondent for the highly rated and strictly selective newsletter Africa Confidential in the 1980's. He has wide experience as a journalist which brought him to be a radio correspondent or a news agency correspondent (a post he was occupying with Islamonline.net for a period of 6 years, starting in 1999 up to 2004 when he resigned from the Cairo based organization). After Islamonline, he joined the tantalizing title OIC Today which he left after only 2 years as Editor due to differences on the way the magazine should be run and on the type of stories that should be published in a Muslim based magazine. He formed worldfutures.biz with friends who are currently supporting the website. His expertise today is concentrated on analyzing the situation in the Islamic world, and on the impact of the US led war on terror, which he calls a war against Islam instead. He believe there is a clash of civilizations that is taking shape with the US insistence to interfere in the affairs of the Islamic world. World Futures on line or WFOL as he calls it has been instituted to counter the lies which the US is spreading about Islam. The Tajura Affair One of the most dramatic affairs that shook Mauritius in the late 1980's did not go without his involvement in the affair when he was made to accompany 70 Mauritian citizens on a trip to Libya. This episode in his career became known as the 'Tajura Affair', due to the complicated matter and the fact that any trips to Libya was shrouded in mystery after the breakdown of relationship between Libya and Mauritius. The affair was considered a national security issue in Mauritius but his intervention in a report to the Mauritius Prime Minister of the time, Sir Aneerood Jugnauth culminated in toning down the impact of this affair in the country. Most of the 70 Mauritians who went to Libya for the official reason of doing tourism in the land of Muamar Khadafi were Muslims, with the exception of 2 of them who were Hindus. The unofficial reason for the trip to Libya was to undergo training (military or not it was not perceptible at the arrival at the military camp which was situated near the capital city of Libya, Tripoli or Trables). Some ministers in Mauritius wanted to see that the 70 members are sent to jail for visiting Libya and for allegedly undergoing military training there. Kazi denied that there were military training and informed the Prime Minister through his report to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) that the members of the group were wrongly thought to be members of a militia. The report was 20 pages report was read by the Prime Minister in Parliament to dissipate fears that attempts were made to train Mauritians in a bid to overthrow his regime. The report can be checked at the 'Hansards' of the Mauritius Parliament for reference. Manu Military Kazi was also active in the Seychelles Island, covering alleged conspiracies by Italian mafias in the young socialist nation. He made several reports on the true economic and political picture of the Seychelles to the BBC and this almost got him into trouble with the regime of Albert Rene. He was however spared from a manu-military sent-off out of the Island after defending his case to the Ministry of Information in the Seychelles. After visiting Lagos, Nigeria in 1992, he was tracked down by members of a 'forgery union' that was targeting the overhauling of huge amounts of cash from innocent people in the UK and in other countries. He wrote some articles that unraveled the truth about the scam and he became the target of the group, but escaped attempts to harm him while he visited Asia in 1992. Fascists and Berengists He has always been a supporter of the Mauritius Labor Party (MLP), of which he has been a member since 1976 thanks to former vice-President of Mauritius Robin Ghurburrun. In Mauritius he undermined what he called the 'fascist' politics of former vice-Prime Minister Harish Boodhoo, predicting his removal as VPM 2 months before Boodhoo was eventually removed from his posts by Aneerood Jugnauth. Kazi has always campaigned against former Prime Minister Paul Berenger – whom he address as Paul Derenger (which means derelict in creole). A war of words erupted between Berenger and Kazi Mahmood in 1994 after Kazi revealed a taped interview which was recorded during the visit of a BBC journalist Catherine Watson to Mauritius. This was prior to Kazi joining the BBC Network Africa and Berenger had insulted Islam and the Muslims (who were largely his supporters in those days in 1985) in the interview when he was asked a question by Kazi on the Muslim Personal Law (MPL). The 1994 battle of words between Kazi and Berenger erupted after Berenger had lambasted Minister Abdul Razak Peeroo (an MPL high ranking member). Berenger never denied what he said in the taped conversation with Catherine Watson and Kazi Mahmood and this has probably contributed to Berenger's unpopularity among the Muslims in the long run. The recent victory of the Labor Party in Mauritius was hailed by Kazi Mahmood as a historical victory that can help change Mauritius and gear it into a new future. Asian Rebel Movements During his long career, Kazi Mahmood has interviewed many leaders of Mauritius, Madagascar, Comoros Islands, Reunion Islands, France and lately of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines. He had close contacts with the most public faces in the rebel movements in Pattani, South Thailand; in Mindanao, Southern Philippines; in Aceh, Indonesia and Chechnya, Russia. This has helped him understood the reason that has forced the rebel movements in South East Asia turn to military confrontation against the respective regimes in the different countries. In Aceh, the war that was waged against Indonesian forces was a war against injustices committed by a the regime of General Suharto, which had in fact ripped the province of its riches without sharing with the populace. In Mindanao, the rebels fought for their Islamic ancestral rights and lands, which were banished and taken away from them after the Philippines was given its independence from the US. In Pattani, the Muslims are fighting the continued oppression by the regimes of Thai-Buddhists leadership in Bangkok, which is carrying out a systematic campaign to undermine Islam and the Malay-Muslims in their provinces. Books Published five books so far in Malaysia. The first being The Light, a book on the names of Allah. The first edition was printed in 1997 by Darul Numan in Kuala Lumpur. The second book is entitled "Islam Inc." which stands for Islam Incorporated. The book is about the Islamic world and how to revive Islamic business and trade among Muslims. It is published by the OIC Malaysia Chamber of Commerce based in Gombak. In March 2006 a book on Iran's nuclear program was published. Its title "Iran's Nuke" - Will the U.S. strike? The book reveals well before hand how the North Koreans will test their first nuke. It is also about why the u.s. May use the Nato - North Atlantic Treaty Organization - to attack Iran in the future. It tells why France may end up being the attacker. It was the first book ever published by World Futures. World Futures published its second book in April 2007. it is about the War Crimes Tribunal staged by Tun Mahathir Mohamad, former Prime Minister of Malaysia. It was printed by World Futures and distributed to Embassies etc. Its second edition and second version will be printed in January 2008.

The true story is like this then: The Jews were helped into stealing the Arab lands in Palestine and the Arabs, lost in perspective, are now firing missiles into the cozy homes built by the Jews in Israel. The robbers are frustrated with this constant attack by the Palestinians, the true owners of the land, and they hired thugs disguised into mercenaries to invade the land where the owners are now camping.
