Hamid Gul quotes

On India

• "I am not anti-India. I am against the imperial streak in the Indian psyche. The 1947 riots had a deep impact on my mind. The Indians always lean towards imperial powers."
• "India will give its land when it will be divided into many pieces. India will have to be break. If India does not give us our land we will go to war and divide India."
• Gul claims the only reason that Pakistan has not dismembered India already is because of the possible consequences for Indian Muslims. (rediff.com Feb 2004)

On America

• "We are not afraid of the Americans; they can't fight on the ground. We are only concerned about their high-altitude bombers."
• "I turned against America because they betrayed the Afghan nation." (rediff.com Feb 2004)

On Israel and 9/11

• "Mossad and its accomplices [are the 9/11 culprits]. The U.S. spends $40 billion a year on its 11 intelligence agencies. That's $400 billion in 10 years. Yet the Bush Administration says it was taken by surprise. I don't believe it. Within 10 minutes of the second twin tower being hit in the World Trade Center CNN said Osama bin Laden had done it. That was a planned piece of disinformation by the real perpetrators." (UPI United Press International, Sep. 26, 2001).

Official seal of the Mossad (Hebrew: המוסד למודיעין ולתפקידים מיוחדים, The Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations) is an Israeli intelligence agency, often referred to as Mossad (in English: Institution). ...

Pakistan Stands on 9/11

Gen. Gul, known for his colourful language and what many consider "imaginative theories," went on to declare, "The Muslim world must stand united to confront the U.S. in its so-called war against terror which is in reality a war against Muslims. Let’s destroy America wherever its troops are trapped." If President Pervez Musharraf concedes President George Bush’s demand to send 15,000 Pakistani peacekeeping soldiers to Iraq, it would amount to "political suicide," according to The Washington Times.
