Friends,
I can't believe i'd live to see the day my favorite fusion band would lose its most prized member, but alas - the time has come!
Brook of Brook's Qawwali Party is leaving. I dont know what the future of the band is because Brook had a deep understanding of Sufism (Islamic mysticism), but more importantly, loved Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan with a fierce passion. I hope whoever takes his place realizes he not only has large boots to fill, but a great responsibility upon his shoulders. Im fairly certain the quality of the music will not change, but it's the pasion and the message which deserves publicity as well. It's not all about the talent!
In any case, Brook is a gem and BQP has lost its lustre in my view, but I will continue to support unconditionally!
Check them out when you get a chance!
Dear Friends,
After two years of nuturing BQP into what it has become today, I, Brook, of Brook's Qawwali Party, am stepping down from my role as leader and drummer of the band. I have recently decided to partake in a one year-long internship offered by an Abbey in Connecticut in which I will be working on their farm and living with their community. It was quite a difficult decision for me to make, as I am choosing to leave my baby (BQP, not an actual baby), but it's something I feel I need to do for myself at this particular juncture in my life.
But, ALAS, do not fret, BQP will continue without Brook. How, you might ask, is that possible, especially with a name like "Brook's Qawwali Party"? Well, it just takes three letters (lyn), an enthusiastic trumpet player, and a drummer named Conor Elmes to fix.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to introduce: BROOKLYN QAWWALI PARTY!
But before I do, I will have one FINAL blowout Qawwali Party of my own...one Party to end an era and begin a new one...one Party so huge you'd be crazy to miss it...your last chance to say goodbye to yours truly, as I will leave for Connecticut soon thereafter!
So, in order for this event to occur properly, we've decided to expand our venue size and give y'all the dance floor you've been waiting for, while keeping it real in Brooklyn...where else but...

Much Love,

Dr. Shazia Khalid - Thursday, July 20th
Dr Shazia Khalid will be speaking in New York City at the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies from 12 pm-2 pm on Thursday, July 20th.
23rd and Park Ave.
Phone: 212-777-4800
This event is open to public and free of charge.
Dr.Shazia Khalid
Many Pakistani girls dream of becoming physicians and helping the poor and needy of their nation. Dr.Shazia Khalid is the one of the few who overcame the hardships imposed by a male dominated society and made her dream of becoming a doctor come true. Inspired by the desire to provide medical services where they were was most needed, Dr.Shazia accepted a job with Pakistan Petroleum Company (PPL) in the remote rural outpost of Sui, Balochistan. Working among villagers, many of whom had rarely, if ever, received medical attention, Dr.Shazia exemplified the ideal of a compassionate and altruistic caregiver.
However, on the fateful night of January 2, 2005, Dr.Shazia’s dreams and ambitions came to a cruel and tragic end when she was raped and severely injured allegedly by an army officer. Her ordeal did not end with the terrible crime. After she reported the incident to her employers they kept her sedated and untreated in a cruel and concerted effort to prevent her from speaking out. Within days of the incident they shipped her to a psychiatric hospital in Karachi where she was prevented from meeting with family and friends and also from reporting the incident to law enforcement authorities. Despite the seriousness of her injuries, Dr.Shazia was not given medical attention until almost two weeks after the incident at which time all evidence related to the incident was confiscated.
The grotesque sequence of events continued and the violation of Dr.Shazia’s body became a flashpoint of unrelated political struggles between the military and the Baloch ethnic group that dominates Balochistan province and resents the presence of PPL in their territory. Hundreds of people died as a result of skirmishes between the tribes and the military. In the adjoining Sind province, tribal jirgas branded her a “kari†or “dishonored woman†and ordered her to be put to death. Accordingly, grandfather of Shazia’s husband’s family called for a mob to kill her in order to redeem the “lost†family honor. In a hasty attempt at a cover-up, the Government of Pakistan ordered Dr.Shazia and her husband to either leave the country or face death. Currently, Dr.Shazia and her husband Khalid have been awarded asylum in the UK. To this day the Government of Pakistan has refused to make any effort to either apprehend the rapist or to rehabilitate her.
Despite the horrific treatment meted out to her, Dr.Shazia has courageously chosen to speak out so that other women in Pakistan who face similar violence may know that they are not alone. She hopes to open a Legal Aid center and Women’s Shelter in the poorest area of Karachi so that women are left destitute after being victims of violence can have a safe place to turn to. Her story is illustrative of how women’s bodies have become pawns in political warfare between feudal warlords and military generals both of whom treat them as chattel unworthy of respect or security. In speaking publicly about her horrific ordeal, Dr.Khalid is focusing international attention to the plight of thousands of women who are forced to suffer in silence. Her voice represents the incredible courage of a Pakistani woman whose commitment to the women of her country remains unshakeable despite all odds.

Prime minister's daughter in anti-Israel rally
Wow, I could never have imagined this could be possible! Olmert's daughter protesting against her own country's policies? The impression one gets in the mass media is that Israelis do not protest anything their government does. Be it wrong, or right, the people stand united. Apparently, not in this case.
The news item is from over a month ago when Palestinian civilians were ruthlessly massacred on a beach, but the excerpts I have copied below still tell us quite a bit about the Israeli Prime Minister's family.

FROM WND'S JERUSALEM BUREAU
Prime minister's daughter in anti-Israel rally
Jewish leaders deemed 'killers,' calls for intifada to prevail
By Aaron Klein
© 2006 WorldNetDaily.com
JERUSLAEM – Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's daughter this weekend took part in a demonstration against the Jewish state in which Israeli leaders were termed "killers" and calls were made for the Palestinian Arab intifada – or terror war – to prevail.
The demonstration took place outside the Tel Aviv house of Israeli Defense Forces chief of staff Dan Halutz following an explosion this weekend on a northern Gaza Strip beach that reportedly killed seven Palestinian Arabs and wounded more than 40.
At the demonstration outside Halutz's house, some 200 leftist activists protested the Gaza beach explosion, blaming Israel for the incident.
Dana Olmert, the prime minister's daughter, took part in the rally.
Protesters chanted slogans such as "[Tel Aviv] residents, there's a murderer in your neighborhood," in reference to Halutz. They brandished signs calling on the Jewish state to "put a stop to the murder of civilians."
Some posters called Halutz a killer and stated, "the intifada shall prevail."
Activists also reportedly shouted, "Neighbors, ask Halutz why he's killing children and how many."
A prominent member of the Israeli opposition Likud party commented Olmert's family has a history of left-wing activism.
"That Dana Olmert participates in these treacherous, anti-Semitic protests jibes with everything else we know about Olmert's family," said the Likud member, speaking on condition his name be withheld.
In the run-up to recent Israeli elections, which Olmert's Kadima Party won by a slim plurality, the Likud featured a series of television ads blasting Olmert's family as pacifists and army deserters.
One Likud broadcast began with a scene of Olmert at a speech exclaiming, "I want our children to have a better future." A background voice then asks which children Olmert is referring to. "perhaps his own children, Olmert's sons and one of his daughters, who refused to serve in the IDF; moreover, his sons live overseas and do not see their future in Israel ... if Olmert's children who live abroad knew of his withdrawal plan, they would not return to Israel at all."
Prior to elections, Olmert announced his administration would seek to withdraw Israel from most of Judea and Samaria – mountainous territory within rocket firing range of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and the country's international airport.
Olmert's oldest son Shaul lives in New York full time. After he finished compulsory Israeli military service, Shaul signed a petition of the pacifist organization Yesh G'vul, which calls for soldiers to refuse specific orders or not serve in the Israeli military all together.
The acting prime minister's youngest son, Ariel, reportedly refused to serve in the IDF.
Israel has a mandatory draft for all Jewish men and women over the age of 18.
Dana, who participated in this weekend's demonstration, is active in Machshom Watch, an Israeli leftist organization that monitors and often acts against Israeli checkpoints in Judea and Samaria. The IDF says the checkpoints are necessary to stop terrorists from infiltrating Israeli cities.
Some politicians who ran against Olmert also pointed out in ads and debates that Olmert's wife Aliza long has been involved in extreme leftist activism.
Aliza Olmert reportedly is a member of Israeli Women in Black, an activist group that calls for Israel to withdraw from the Gaza Strip, Judea and Samaria and parts of Jerusalem.
Articles in the Israeli media have stated Aliza has been involved in the leftist Peace Now group and reportedly has voted for the Meretz party, whose platform includes the division of Jerusalem.
Aaron Klein is WorldNetDaily's Jerusalem bureau chief, whose past interview subjects have included Yasser Arafat, Ehud Barak, Mahmoud al-Zahar and leaders of the Taliban

About the Film
Dir: Joel Palombo, India, 2005, 83 mins, Color, 35mm
Gone are the days of the Maharaja, who lavished his singers and
instrumentalists with bountiful gifts. When Swaroop accompanies his
Uncle Nizam and two other musicians on their travels, he learns that
the journey of a traditional musician in India is less fruitful than
he had imagined. A talented young boy from the small village of
Keralia, Swaroop comes from generations of musicians who played for
the kings and rajputs. But now there are no more kings, and the
rajputs are broke.
On its trek from Keralia to Delhi, the group of musicians faces one
disappointment after another. Swaroop becomes disillusioned with the
life he once romanticized and discovers disconcerting aspects of his
uncle's character. When he longs to find something different from
Keralia, every place he goes seems the same, and when he finally
does enter a new world, he wonders whether he should have left his
village at all.
Director Joel Palombo presents a story about people who must survive
and define themselves in lost, evolving and colliding cultures, and
he tells a tale about the passion that sustains one boy. Full of
heart and excellent musical performances, Milk & Opium is a special
treat for the music-loving viewer.
