Hi,

Isn't it very obvious----pakistanis like to finger every thing every where in the world---more so than those who are directly effected by it---.

Remember that punjabi saying " chor naloon pandh kahli "----.

It is a matter of identity crisis my man. We are searching in every nook and corner to find our identity---to where we belong---.

Now we are trying to figure out if we are suicide bombers or not---.

I think the question should be - why are there more [suicide] bombing incidents in Pk than in Af?

Maybe because fighters over there have military targets from among the invaders, while over here these bombings are meant to force shifts in State policies (towards the fighters and their aids here) through civilian carnage.

Although this may be the case in a small way suicide bombers arent generally used against military targets, at least not with much success, harder to walk up to a check point or patrol than it is to just bury an IED.

An Islamic university in eastern Afghanistan established by Cambridge University's Muslim chaplain has been bombed by insurgents, in an apparent attempt to snuff out its efforts to provide a moderate religious education to young Afghans.

The Jamiyat'al-Uloom'al-Islamiya in the once peaceful city of Jalalabad was attacked on Tuesday evening, when a powerful bomb hidden near the entrance buckled heavy metal gates and destroyed nearly all the building's windows. Several students and staff were wounded by flying glass, but no one was seriously hurt.

The university was established in 2009 by John Butt, an Englishman who converted to Islam in 1970 and has worked for decades in the border areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan as a journalist and religious scholar. The 69-year-old also serves as Cambridge University's Muslim chaplain.

The city was struck by three other bombs on Tuesday, including an attack on a bus carrying policemen and the son of a leading political family in the province. The rash of bombings reflects the growing clout of militants in a prosperous trading town which also suffered a series of mysterious bomb attacks on music shops last year.

Butt studied at the influential Deoband madrasa in India after converting to Islam in 1970 and proudly calls himself a "Taliban", which, he points out, simply means "religious student".

However, the moderate brand of Islam promoted by the white mullah from England is regarded as a threat in militant circles and in recent weeks the university had been receiving "night letters" of the sort routinely used by insurgents to intimidate people.

Butt said the notes accused the university, and three other local madrasas, of "spreading western propaganda and poisoning the minds of the young generation in Afghanistan".

The notes also said the institution was trying to "sideline jihad with our emphasis on the peaceful propagation of the word of God".

"We are up against people who want to destabilise Afghanistan and people who set a lot of store by the militant ideology which has infiltrated into Afghanistan over the last 30 years," Butt said.

The attack follows a similar bombing in Jalalabad eight months ago at a media training centre operated by Butt's PACT radio station, which promotes moderate Islam on both sides of the nearby border with Pakistan.

Both that attack and the recent night letters have led some of the university's 120 students to drop out, and Butt said the bomb attack would probably further demoralise the institution.

Butt has been living and working in the now war-torn region ever since he travelled from England to Afghanistan on the hippy trail in the late 1960s, although he has become somewhat despairing at the difficulty of working in a country where security has declined sharply in recent years.

He believes "contemporary" religious education, which includes practical subjects such as business studies, as well as the traditional study of Islam, can help reduce the radicalisation of young people and give them different career options.

He also hopes to provide an alternative for young people who might otherwise travel to madrasas in Pakistan, some of which operate as indoctrination and recruitment centres for Taliban fighters and suicide bombers.

That's why 'suicide' was facultative. I'm sure more bombs are going off in the battle-zones of Afghanistan where NATO is entrenched than in the cities of Afghanistan and Pakistan combined. Again, many people doubt that the suicide bombings in our cities are really suicidals.

Many factors. Primarily because of massive US killings of civilians in the forms of drone attacks. this has nothing to do with Islam or madrassas
I base this on one simple point. Pakistani suicide bombers have only begun striking massivly for the last 4-5 years since US interference. Islam has been around for centuries

TTP and other terrorist organizations routinely – and boastfully -- claim responsibility for terrorist attacks. Time and again we see confessions, statements by Pakistani witnesses and law enforcement officials that all point to the same miscreants. Would you not agree that choosing to ignore such evidence amounts to nothing more than conspiracy theory? Their suicide bombings over the past weeks have targeted specific demographics throughout the country. It is evident; from their local knowledge that the roots of terrorism in Pakistan lie deep and spread far; home grown insurgency is at work. We fully understand; TTP terrorists continually attempt to destabilize Pakistan because they see our growing strategic partnership as a serious threat to their terrorist activities. Is it not obvious that the TTP wants to defeat our common objective of ending terrorism? Conspiracy theorists suggest US involvement in these terrorist attacks; Suggestions that are baseless and unverifiable. Were that true US and NATO forces would not continue countering TTP common criminals while sacrificing their soldiers in order to help Afghanistan towards a safe, secure and stable country.

Do you see how reality presents us with a different picture that demolishes any conspiracy theory about US involvement behind terrorist attacks? US encourages and trains Pakistani security forces to rid the Taliban from its land. We see it can be done, Swat is a prime example. Taliban had created a living hell for the people of Swat valley. Pakistani government and military had to react to protect its people and restore stability and security. After intense fighting the Pakistani military recaptured Swat and the Taliban were either killed or driven out. We fully support the Pakistani military’s actions in the interest of its own nation in places like Peshawar, Waziristan where Taliban terrorists create havoc on people and from where TTP train suicide bombers to attack innocent Pakistanis in their cities and towns. Should we shy away from the reality that the problem lies within Pakistan? We cannot. Should we shy away from the fact that Pakistan, Afghanistan and the US are allies working together to defeat a common enemy? We cannot. Should we shy away from eliminating these terror networks for the safety of our nations? We cannot. The responsibility for protecting the citizens of Pakistan lies with the government and the US fully supports this great nation in its mission to eliminate homegrown insurgency.
