UPDATE: Three major regional powers are set to sign a joint defense pact that could reshape the security landscape of the region. 🇹🇷🇸🇦🇵🇰

Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signed a bilateral defense pact in September 2025, agreeing that an attack on either country would be treated as an attack on both.

Now, Turkey is set to join the agreement, bringing the military strength of NATO's second-largest armed forces and a robust domestic defense industry.

Saudi Arabia brings financial power and strategic geography as one of the world's biggest defense spenders.

Pakistan brings a capability neither of the other two possesses: nuclear weapons.

In 1964, Anthony Hopkins composed a beautiful waltz called And the Waltz Goes On. It was never performed, and over time the sheet music was forgotten.

Nearly 50 years later, his wife found the music and sent it to conductor André Rieu, who arranged for it to be performed in Vienna in 2011.

Imagine spending decades believing something you created would never be heard... then sitting in the audience as it comes to life for the very first time.

It's a reminder that not every dream happens when we want it to. Sometimes life has its own timing.

What's a dream you've held onto, no matter how long it's taken?

The unfolding of Maududi's legacy

[Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury @salah_shoaib]

Jamaat-e-Islami founder Abul A'la Maududi's granddaughter is connected to Donald Trump's Republican Party

Sophia Farooq, one of the candidates for Cobb County GOP chairmanship race has been making waves, endorsed by Veterans for America First as a "MAGA candidate".
The Candidate with No Footprint
Sophia Farooq’s candidacy raised eyebrows from the start. For someone running for a high-profile position like the Cobb County GOP chair, her online presence was surprisingly sparse. No LinkedIn profile, no social media accounts—nothing that could verify her claimed executive roles at Delta Airlines and Walmart.
Sophia Farooq’s family background is equally concerning. Her grandfather, Abul A'la Maududi, was not just any Islamic scholar; he was the founder of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), a group designated as a terrorist organization in several countries, including the UAE.
JI was instrumental in recruiting figures like Osama bin Laden into the Mujahideen and acted as a CIA liaison during the US-backed operations in Afghanistan.
Her father, Dr. Syed Ahmad Farooq (who lost his medical license) was the first elected secretary of the organization now known as ICNA (The Islamic Circle of North America), which is connected to JI and promotes a rigid interpretation of Islam. Her uncles are also prominent figures: one leads a publishing house distributing JI-aligned works, and was a also distinguished guest of the Al Khidmat Foundation. Another is a public figure in Pakistan with ties to human rights activism but critical of some JI teachings.
Maududi’s ideology is starkly outlined in his own words: “Wherever you are, in whichever country you live, you must strive to change the wrong basis of government, and seize all powers to the rule and make laws from those who do not fear God... The name of this striving is Jihad.”
Sophia Farooq’s connections extend beyond her family. Her campaign and supporters include major corporations such as the law firm of Rod Rosenstein, Christopher Wray, and Gina Haspel (King & Spalding) and Lockheed Martin, as well as figures tied to global finance and technology, such as APAX Partners, ThoughtWorks, and Grameen Bank.
Grameen Bank, led by Mohammed Yunus, who has connections to Farooq’s grandfather, is implicated in microfinance and high-interest lending. Yunus has been involved in political influence, and funding protest movements like Black Lives Matter. Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also pressured the Bangladeshi government into closing down an investigation on Grameen Bank. It’s also notable, that not long after the investigation was shuttered, the Clinton Foundation then received a generous donation from Dr. Yunus shortly thereafter.
APAX Partners, a UK based private equity firm, which shares executive leadership with Grameen America, is linked to election infrastructure, including NGP VAN, used by Democrats, and even Russia’s sovereign wealth fund, suggesting a broad influence network spanning finance, politics, and technology.
The story of Sophia Farooq is not just about one candidate; it’s about a larger strategy to infiltrate and influence American political systems at local and national levels. From predatory lending to extremist ideologies, from global finance to local politics, the connections are vast and troubling.
