LOST IDENTITY: TALIBAN THREAT 1????
Pakistan is Passing through a crucial Phase of its history. At one side there is a racial conflict going on in Balochistan and on other hand A religous insurgency going in NWFP especially FATA. Internation media is createing hue and cry over advancement of Taliban and is predicting soon Pakistan will fall in the hands of Taliban.
Intrestingly People like Bill Reggio of Long War Journal type people are falling in hands of consipricy theories. a Map which he has posted on his site
Terrorists rally in Swat, march through region - The Long War Journal
gives an impression that Taliban has enveloped whole NWFP and soon Peshawer along with NWFP will fall in Taliban Hands and then Punjab and rest of Pakistan... Such kind of Projections only show their lack of information and Ignorance about prevailing situation. or they are intensionally tring to create anti Pakistan Impression.
I as a Journalist have talked to different people liveing in NWFP and can give you my words not to belive these out siders who dont know any thing about the region and are tring to create conditions which benifit their governments or Parties strategic intrests.
Where were Taliban before US invasion of Afghanistan??? Baitullah was live, so did Gul Bahader, Nazir and Haqqani etc.... But there was no Insurgency in Pakistan...No Suiside blasts etc...
If you look at recent history there was nothing wrong and there was peace .... Then After 911 US attacked and Started killing Pashtuns indiscriminately... then suddenly there we started hearing news about Insurgency in Balochistan and in NWFP...
I think and belive America wanted to attack Afghanistan ,911 insident only gave excuse...The map produced By Major Ralf Peter which showed divided Pakistan in Armed forces journal was not a new idea.... They were working on scheme from dacades.... Atomic Pakistan is and will be always a thorn in US eyes....because it makes US ambitions for Central Asia and South Asia difficult...
Pakistan can only be effectively neutralized by promoteing secterianism and subNationalism.... India have no Guts to fight war with us...It sacrifised more men in 2002-3 emergency then its 4 wars with Pakistan.... It knows the price of fighting war with Nuclear Pakistan.... So it has come to help US and both allies are doing what ever nacessery to damage pakistan ....
Comeing back to subject Taliban are getting stronger I agree but situation is not same and intense as US and Indian media is projecting.... for example Longwarjournal gives Chitral , Lakki Marwat, Bannu , etc completely to Taliban where as according to sources there is no presence of Taliban in Chitral and Only FR bannu, FR Lakki all bordering ares of FATA have some troubles but not main land NWFP....
The main reason for advance of Taliban is
1) US Presence in Afghanistan and indiscriminate killing of Pashtuns
2) drone attacks which kill innocents and rarely Kills Militants....Khalid Rauf was suposed dead in one drone attack in south waziristan but now they are saying he is Alive
3) The gap between rich and Poor .... TTP is exploiting class rift and injustice in Society.
The reasons for Taliban Sucess is only US and its Allies both in Pakistan and outside Pakistan. US has stolen hope from Pakistani Nation... and Frustrated masses are Opposeing every thing which as US mark on it...
Taliban will end if our leaders come out of American Camp....Our incompetant elite has made all the nation Begger.... They beg on our miseries....
Its Time for masses to wake up...its time intellectuals to come forward to give leadership... All things which Have written American or Indian wants to distroy US... on other side 7th century dwelling Mullah is no less threat.... We have to open eyes and come forward.... Islam is Blessing...But that islam which is of Our Master not of any Takfiri Kharji or illiterate Mullah who take help from outsiders to implement his version on poor week masse
Pakistan was Made in the Name of Islam ....Only Islam can Unite us in this Black era.... Our enemies are exploiting the beliefs of Mullahs who him self is Alien to soul of Islam...They want us materialistic like they are.... AS an Ummah we are differetiated from others due to our Values system....our enemies wants to take away our values . Our values are not Saudia Arab, Taliban or Iran ...we follow the Values of Master Muhammad(PBUH) and his Ahle Bait and his Sahaba and Aulia Karaam.... Which are Love of Allah and his creations.... Knowledge and Humbleness...
