Intelligence agencies are learnt to have identified as many as two dozen extremist militant and sectarian outfits operating in Karachi who may face a crackdown once the hunt for politically-backed target killers is over.
Ridiculous!! Readers are expected to think that this problem is somehow new, it isn't and readers are expected to believe that so called "intelligence" agencies have only now identified Sunni extremist groups funded by Arab money and Shi'ah extremist groups funded by Iranian monies -- Lets take it at face value, if it is true that it is now, after 32 plus years of the existence of such groups that the so called "intelligence" agencies have identified them, what does it say about the role of the state(and you know which institution the state (army) in perpetuating, if not organizing such groups and facilitating funding for the them?
Friends, do not allow yourselves to be the victims of these kinds of "official" news articles who purpose is to confuse you - fact of the matter is that the Pakistani state prefers this kind of sectarian terror, because it keeps people's attention away from the goings on at the level of the state -- in the same way that we are told that the Pakistan army is too stretched to kill of Islamist insurgents (and yet see no national effort to recruit and train vast numbers to kill of insurgencies), in the same way that we are told that the "intelligence" agencies have just awoken to the threat of armed politics -- So what's ordinary Pakistanis to do? Arm yourselves and prepare - the Pakistani state led by the Pakistan army is itself the puppeteer of this sectarianism and has itself nurtured those it today identifies as islamist insurgents, Do you really want to trust them with the lives of your family and your property? You would be foolish to do so.
