Religious parties and militants

Religious parties and militants
M Waqar
Everyday we read news items on internet, TV, NEWSPAPERS all over the world that: Death toll in Wah blasts climbs to 70; Tehreek-e-Taliban accepts responsibility for Wah blasts and third news is in Urdu, Islamists bomb girls school or music centre and then we hear and read that religious parties like Jaamat-e-Islami is asking the Govt to stop operations against militants. I get confused and think what’s wrong, the innocent people are being killed, none of them belong to the family of Qazi Hussain or any other member of Pakistan elite club. JI is the same group of mullahs who were against the creation of Pakistan, they labelled Sir Syed as Kafir because heasked Muslims of India to learn English and get educated. Qazi Hussain knows only the politics of protests and DHARNAS. If he is a sincere politicians why cannot he go to Tribal areas and talk to those killing innocent people. If QAZI thinks that TALIBAN are innocent then who is killing innocent Pukhtoons? Instead of supporting actions of law enforcing agencies, leaders of religious parties are supporting fanatics, criminals, Taliban. The government has chosen to negotiate instead of fight, which has further emboldened the Taliban and al-Qaeda. Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazlur and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, legitimate Pakistani political parties which dominate the political scene in the Federally Administered Tribal Agencies support Taliban on both sides of Puktoons borders. The rising lawlessness in the country and the growing popularity and success of suicide attacks are the most dangerous signs for Pakistan's integrity. Today, the belief is becoming strong among the masses that the war against terror is the war of the United States and the Pakistan army. It has nothing to do with the people of Pakistan. There is a need to change this perception. Terrorism is the biggest threat to the world. Suicide attacks are the most lethal and successful weapons of the terrorists. Terrorism must be rooted out and it cannot be done by isolating the people of Pakistan, The Pashtun nation is a victim of a conspiracy. All Pukhtoons including other people of the whole province as well as the tribal area must come together. Putting aside our political affiliations or linguistic proficiency we must once and for all realize that disunity equals destruction and unity is the need of the hour as without unity we have no other options. So let us unite and rise to the occasion and save our land, our identity, our faith and the destiny of our present and future generations.
