Abid Ullah Jan

Abid Ullah Jan is a prolific writer and founder of The Independent Centre for Strategic Studies and Analysis (ICSSA) and Media Monitors Network.

Mr. Jan is the author of seven books on international affairs, including: "The Ultimate Tragedy: Colonialists Rushing to Global War to Save the Crumbling Empire", "Afghanistan: The Genesis of the Final Crusade", "The Musharraf Factor: Leading Pakistan to its inevitable demise", "From BCCI to ISI: The Saga of Entrapment Continues" and "After Fascism: Muslims and the Struggle for Self-Determination". He is a regular Contributor to Media Monitors Network (MMN) from Canada.

Mr. Jan believes that the union of Pakistan and Afghanistan into a "Greater Afghanistan" is "inevitable and possible." He quotes (without reference) an alleged saying of Muhammad, "there would be a strong government towards the Eastern side of Arab Peninsula, which will play a leading role in Islamic revival. He also believes, "The continued struggle in Afghanistan, the unflinching determination of both Afghans and Pakistanis never to live under occupation and the military strength that Pakistan has acquired are some of the indications towards realisation of prophet Muhammad’s prophesies and the establishment of Greater Afghanistan."
