What you say my dear poster is correct if you look at the history of the last 10+ years.
My heart fills up with emotions when I see my childhood Shia friends, whose mom and dad were always my respected uncles and aunts are now scared for their lives.
I tell them, it is all our fault. Fault of Sunni majority in Pakistan that could not protect our Pakistani brothers who happen to belong to Ahmadi faith, or Shia faith, or Christian faith, or Hindu faith. We could not protect them.
This is what we have done to our beautiful country with our own hands.
So yes for the last 10+ years Pakistani Shias have bore the brunt of it, and at the hands of TTP and Wahabi goons.
But if you my dear poster want to learn the history from 1979, the period right after Ayatullah power grab in Iran, then you have to sit down and listen.
Just what the OP (himself a Pakistani Shia) says, Ayatullahs funded Shia Islam in Pakistan.
My post was not meant to attack you/hurt you for any reason as I know you are a sensible poster. It was a simple question going by the events happening in Pakistan. Also, yes I was talking about past 10+ years because looking any further beyond it makes no sense and has no significance today. Point is Shias are not the threat to Pakistan today and please correct me if I am wrong on that.
OP doesn't say much about Shia militancy in Pakistan, because he is focused on Iran Arab situation.
That is another issue. Why are you concerned about Iran Arab situation? Why not Pakistan's situation????? The OP seems to me a Pakistani Shia Muslim bashing attempt going by what is happening between Iran Arab. Why? Your Shias are good people so why are you concerned if some Shia in some part of world are bad???
So here are the high level details.
Khomeni funded and helped establish 3 Shia organizations in Pakistan.
1. Tehrik-e-Jafaria Pakistan (TeJP - political wing with an aim to establish Iranian-Shia sharia in Pakistan)
2. Imamia Students Organisation, (ISO - Student wing that fed young interns to TeJP and SeMP)
3. Sipah-e-Muhammad Pakistan---- (SeMP Shia militant group)
If these are involved in terrorist activities then Pakistan has all rights to attack/arrest/kill them but do you think all the common Shias of Pakistan belong to these organization.
As a result 1981,82, and 83 saw huge armed clashes between Shia and Sunni militants especially in Karachi but in the rest of Pakistan too.
Those people who were/are involved should be arrested but why attacks on their processions, mosques. That in my eyes is nothing but cowardly act and that too against your fellow Muslim citizens!!
I blame Pakistanis for allowing Khomeni or Saudis to fund terror organizations in Pakistan.
I hope people understand this better and focus on their issues rather than others. Pakistan till date has been fighting others war to achieve god knows what!!
That should be the motive!!We should have been better custodians of our beautiful country.
So now Shia militancy is no more so there is no point talking about it unless you want to blame them for some reason for the events of today's Pakistan.Shia militancy died out because it could not compete with money and material and men available to Wahabi militants.
If on the other hand the Shia population pool was larger or concentrated in one location, we would have had a terror organization in Pakistan that would not be too different from Lebanon and Iraq, sort of Shia version of TTP.
That is just an imagination a question of if? There can be several answers to it but nothing concrete can be made out of it.
Hope this much information helps you understand that Irani hands are as dirty as Saudi when it comes to spreading militancy in Pakistan.
More than Iranis or Saudis it is Pakistan's fault. Pakistan let those ideologies to home in the country and I know the reasons for it but that is a discussion for another day!!
Amen!!peace
