Taliban Insurgency in Pakistan - 1/2

[786FH]

I can never understand this country.How could it possible that the most corrupted leader is now the president of pakistan. Lol

[786FH]

Its better for Pakistan to get take over by Taliban. Taliban will kill all those corrupt politicians and will impose the correct Islamic law inside the country.They will remove the interest banking system which is fruitfully flourishing inside Pakistan.Pakistan army is not winning the war as talibans are ready to die.

[MKhybari10]

Taliban is the ISI army they will be defeated by the Afghans living in the both side of the ( illegal) Durand Line. This is the truth the rest is nonsense.

[LikableDesi]

first of all, bitch zardari killed his wife, everyone knows it. Even his own party. Second of all, that Kuta, is just a figure head leader. We all know the reall power in pakistan comes from COAS.

[werekilledbycowards]

this person (zardadi) looks like a hindu for a reason.Allah s.b.t has changed his facial features.

he killed his own wife so he could become leader DOG. hes known as mr 10 % in pakistan for a reason.

[sudeep00007]

in view of all that happening, I hope you are intelligent enuf to not add another tag to Islam - that of racism. Unless of course you are a RAW/

Mossad agent! :)

The USA playing Dual Policy.

One side Creating Taliban

Other Side Destroying Taliban

Just for the purpose of Dis Integration of Pakistan which is an emerging Nuclear Power and USA's Sea Troops and Ships are under PAkistan TArget

[maximgrg]

US only supported those mujhahids during war against soviets..they provided them weapons..taliban were people from peshawar side who were studying in madrassas...and as far as pakistan conspiracy is concerned,pakistan is doomed by its own people..people like masood azhar and his buddies,those jihadis and extremists ..now its blown out of proportion..now govt blames US,india and israel..i things would get normal in pakistan

[3dsstudio]

zardari is blood sucking insect creating his impair on the body of innocent civilians and exchanging life for $.

[sameer9900]

Since 1947, Indian leadership has been working against Pakistan. They even played a role in break up of Pakistan ; yet we have some people (like narrator in this documentary) saying :Pakistan was unnecessarily obsessed with India while India wanted friendship and Pakistan did not. This is like saying USA should not worry at all if govt in Mexico or Canada is conspiring against USA.

This guy is a well known criminal, yet he is the president of pakistan. LOL

PART V:

The status quo would have continued but for 9/11. That tragic event forced a radical change in American thinking and turned its attention back to Afghanistan as well as on terrorism in general. Pakistan was thus forced by US to abandon its support of Taliban government in Afghanistan as well as to begin dismantling its Jihadi-Islamic infrastructure. Not surprisingly, the Taliban as well as participants of Jihadi infrastructure both reacted violently to change in Pak policy.

Kashif, I admire you that you can cut to the chase and arrive at profound and important inferences. Your words have wisdom and your intent is noble. If you ever want to start a show that calls a spade a spade, I will be happy to support you.

[KashifHKhan]

PART IV:

Now, it is an open secret that Pakistan's identity is rooted in strong anti-India and anti-Hindu policies. (This is a sad legacy of the partition of the Indian sub-continent in 1947). So, the Pak Army took over the Jihadi network and began to utilize its recruits to fight a proxy war in India in Kashmir. At the same time, it facilitated establishment of an Islamic fundamentalist (ie. Taliban) government in Afghanistan to provide "strategic depth" in a future war with India.

PART III:

The Jihadi Afghan resistance proved to be very effective in driving the Soviet Union from Afghanistan. Not surprisingly, the US then promptly lost interest in Afghanistan as well as the Islamic-Jihadi network that it had established in Pakistan. Nor did it pay attention to how the defeat of the Soviet Union might encourage Muslims someday to fight a similar war of attrition against the so-called "enemies of Islam". Only after 9/11, did US become interested in the region again.

@KashifHKhan I'm sure that you are an atheist! aren't u?

[KashifHKhan]

Let me make this easier for you: (a) I am of the opinion that belief - or disbelief (ie. atheism, agnosticism) - is strictly a personal matter; (b) the state has no business policing faith or restructuring society in the name of faith; (c) equal rights should be provided to all citizens irrespective of their race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation; and (d) "progressive" educational, social, and political policies that build on Reformation and Enlightenment should be introduced.

-Kashif

[PersonOfBook]

@KashifHKhan I beg to differ. Societies are based on ideologies and atheistic or secular ideology is very different from Islamic ideology. Now Pakistan is a country whose 97% population is Muslim and Islam asks its followers to implement Islamic Laws, so if the Muslims would be following Islam, they would definitely try to establish an Islamic state. On the other hand, the secular or atheistic people would oppose this, so I think it is not only a personal matter, but has a collective effect!

[KashifHKhan]

@PersonOfBook

I have no problems with Pak having an Islamic character; I have serious issues with it being in Islam state. Do you understand the difference? As an analogy, European and North American societies have a Christian character, but they are not Christian countries. They are secular with strict separation of Church and State... on account of having suffered horrific Church domination and exploitation. Similarly, Islam must be reformed and Muslim states must adopt Enlightened thinking.

[tambidude1963]

what is wrong in being an atheist? Specially when the existence of so called GOD has not been even remotely proved.

And yes I am a hindu.

[KashifHKhan]

PART II:

Since Afghans are (mostly illiterate) Muslims while communists are atheists, it was only natural to encourage Afghans to fight in the name of Islam. America thus encouraged: (a) establishment of a network of religious schools (ie. madrassas) to spread the concept of Jihad (ie. fight against infidels), (b) provision of funding for extremist religious schools through its oil-rich allies like Saudi Arabia, and (c) supervision of military training (for Jihad) from Pak army and CIA.

PART I:

As a US-educated Pakistani now living in North America, I am quite surprised at the historical ignorance of American media as well as the double-speak of Pakistani leaders. It is a fact that America introduced militant extremism in Pakistan and Afghanistan in the late 70s to help fight a proxy war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. The overriding American doctrine at the time was to stop the spread of communism and to check the Soviet Union's influence at all costs.
