Talbanization was an issue, is an issue and till it is rooted out will remain an issue.These punishments, mode and method as understood or portrayed is entirely not in line with practices of Islamic culture and history.This present extremism is not new to Muslim culture , such extremists have been there and they have been crushed with reason and power. But this time American presence and an advanced media presence and legacy of dictatorship is making it more difficult to develop consensus. This is also exaggerated by foreign score settling in this hour of crisis. To equate this with true teachings of Islam is wrong morally, historically and factually. Extremism is enemy o humanity and especially religious extremism is most dangerous. We should fight it with all means.
If we do,nt understand history of a process then we fail to control its present and ultimately its future. And Mian brethren, they are most important characters in the past and present of this issue. Do you remember when Anti-Terrorism courts were made and by whom and for what purpose? By NS in 1997 ,to curb and control menace of religious and sectarian violence. It was first practical and conscious attempt to curb this menace.
Why they get bad press I fail to understand. NS had a deal with Clinton to train Pakistani Commandoes and they will catch OBL form Afghanistan and hand over him*( Se Bob Woodward). SS got killed many terrorists in police muqabelas. The same solution now adopted was adopted for implementation in late 1990.s ... but coup stopped this process.
Stereotyping always results in narrow targets, in times of crisis, emergency, and open rebellion demand more justice and deeper understanding of the facts to chart a healthy future.In Islam even war has principles, these butchers of human beings have no relation and reason of Islam. If the terms and symbols of Islam are not used they turn the debate as Western propaganda and confuse masses and all related. We need to single out them from within islamic debate , otherwise their influence will increase. There is local old saying iron cuts iron! Mere opposing is not solution.
Diverting the debate and taking superficial view of things happening in pakistan related to violence can not help us understand the reality of rise in extremism in Pakistan. Karachi is different story and in mid 1990's I was offered to join terrorist organization SSP and was asked to join and get money and weapons on hatred of Shias and all other non sense.
Religion's political and vested interest use is the issue , it is not as simple fighting between USA and Taleban. religion when ever in human history has been used to protect power or improve morals of society is bad bad and will remain worst crime.
But this giant has been unleashed in Pakistan and ethnic strife should be separated from religious one. My point is that in hands and minds of Taleban the fang is use of religion and it s poisonous use for personal agenda. Not all people choose them due to poverty, money or other issues. The silent majority of our writers in Urdu press , mosques and many many anchorpersons supports them or helps to support them through garb of religion.
Till this garb of religion is taken away from them, they can not be defeated. Me and you can know them in our safe havens , the people and forces who face them have strong strong adherence to popular religion. It is issue of leadership of minds and it is unfortunate due to state and out of state elite's apathy they have created their base in society.
As k those who do,nt want to kill their Muslim brethren , although they are ready to kill no-Muslims. It is an issue of Asbiyah, solidarity . they are using false interpretation of Islam as their bases of cohesion. Are their opponents coherent? They are not ... and this confusion and half hearted debate has shown them more powerful and enduring. Mere killing people is not solution.
Peaceful solutions are longer and one defeat can lead to another war. Treaty of Versailles sowed seeds of Second Greta european war of 1940's. The solutions should be enduring, not fragile and breakable.
No one is angel here and we all have our personal issues and yes length of hair should not be determined by a decree!
If they did it was nom sense and it is not a good idea to repeat even .
But if some one has done something to curb this menace we should have perspective at least. Although politicians never do things of public concern till they have pressure from public.
Cultural ideas keep on changing and nothing is permanent in this regard. even if they have qualms that they will also determine fashion hair and design, then they certainly live in fool's paradise!
Self cantered interests are not always suitable for society. Every one has freedom , but it stops when one's nose starts!
Issue is terrorism on the religious ideas... this is a menace and we should fight it at all forums. If this flood is not stopped it will have implications of our choices even to wear what one likes or dislikes.
They (Taliban)have narrowest possible approach to life... and unfortunately they have bullets and bombs and use them to kill innocent people. This is inhuman and it grows from false and narrow interpretation of religion, this is fundamental issue. USA, Afghan War , poverty, all other issues come later.
