Vorlage:Cleanup Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed is a London-born author, and current PhD candidate at the University of Sussex. [1]
Ahmed is critical of USA foreign policy and the creation of proxy wars that he asserts were the result of manipulation by both the U.S. and the former USSR in Afghanistan. He describes how countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq "ha[ve] been plunged into a state of perpetual humanitarian catastrophe."
In his opinion, the Bush administration was "criminally negligent" on September 11, 2001, as evidenced by an indifferent response to initial reports of the attack. He concludes the Afghanistan invasion occurred because the Taliban were too unstable for the construction of pipelines.
He posits that the so-called "War on Terror" is conducted within the framework described by the influential Zbigniew Brzezinski who "envisaged that the establishment, consolidation and expansion of US military hegemony over Eurasia through to Central Asia would require the unprecedented, open-ended militarisation of foreign policy, coupled with an unprecedented manufacture of domestic support and consensus on this militarisation campaign."
Most recently he has published on the subject of UK state policy and the deep background to the July 7 bomb attacks in London. In the past, Ahmed was a researcher for the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC). Ahmed's published reports and briefings for the IHRC can be found on the IHRC website. Prior to his work with the IHRC, Ahmed was editor of the Islamic Unity Society's newletter in addition to his involvement with other Muslim community organisations.
