Posted: Apr 18, 2007 Wed 12:59 am     Views: 27   

I find this article as dumb as anything could be. This article reminds me of some mumbo jumbo idiocy with no sense, repeating every line in a same circle over and over again, very dull perspective with no insight.Not even a good read. Same thing over and over again, Islam this , Islam that, Taliban this.....Pakistanis are Talibanized.....LOL.

Pakistan is Talibanized and that is why Pakistan is #1 in corruption....LOL
All Pakistani problems are just b/c of religion. Get rid of religion and Pakistan will be a heaven to live with all the progress possible......this is hilarious....

Mullahs have had been only 5% in the politics, 85% are feudals and 10% urbans............
Why to blame Mullahs and then religion for everything?

Mullahs are not in the main stream, feudals are.
80% Pakistani population is rural and poor , they are under the clutches of feudals.
They are still deprived of the basic needs, health care, education, job opportunities and even they do not know , if, they are humans or not?

They and their needs are being deliberately ignored by the rest of the Pakistani people, as if they have no right to be called Pakistanis.

They do not care, if, Mullahs rule or if feudals rule, all they care is , how to make ends meet?

And the biggest fact is feudals and governance always use few mullahs just to shine their own corrupt politics and when they are done using them, they always cornered them...............

Suppose, we gather all 5% mullahs and send them to Jail for few years.....

Will this eradicate corruption in Pakistan? No
Will this give basic needs to 80% poor Pakistanis who live in rural areas? No
Will this make Pakistan the developed country? No

There is No issue about religion, to raise this issue is to divert the attention from major issues which are absolutely NOT created by Mullahs......

Feudals life styles are western , they and their kids get their education from West.....but, they do not apply the same rule over their slaves.......mean 80% poor and oppressed Pakistanis who are living in rural areas.
They have their own small states and they do not wish to change the mind sets of their people, b/c if they do then they won’t be feudals anymore......

And mind it all these feudals are the creation of Gora sahib.................

It is just like Talibans are the creation of Gora sahib as well, they used Talibans are their soldiers in the war against USSR and then kicked them off...........

Latter, The same Talibans when were left alone by gora sahib, they were hijacked by Al-Qaida for their own motives...........and their only motive was (OIL)...............
They used religion as their basis just to make fool of Talibans.....Talibans were Afghanis who were created by American Army with the help of Pakistan.............

So, just think about all this .......................

Hafsa sisters were sincere in their brave action, but, then their cause was manipulated by Lal Masjid Mullahs.............everyone is using someone and I am sure these Lal Masjid Mullahs were the puppets of our own corrupt politicians............and also current army to divert the real issues in Pakistan..........

And this is the sad part , but, very true....truth is bitter, but we have to face that......
I am proud to be Muslim and Pakistani. There is nothing wrong to be a Muslim as long as you do not impose your extremist views on others.
As long as Pakistani society is, I do not see so much Mullah’s influence over there. Lately, I have been to Pakistan and I was in Islamabad, Lahore, and in some very remote conservative areas, honestly I was wearing Jeans, pants and track suits........Not even a single person criticized...rather, majority of those villagers commented me with excellent comments about the way I was dressed...

In Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Lahore I was feeling as much free as anyone could be in America. No body told me to wear burqa, cover head or do not watch movies....

To be honest with you, I felt more freedom in most of the aspects than USA.


I believe religion in Pakistan is continually used and abused for political advantage.Beyond that it was misused as justification to call All Pakistanis Talibanized.
All humans have the ability to think for themselves yet people are being led to believe that all Pakistanis are Talibanized and they are radical and violent. People are being told that only Muslims are terrorists. If you believe such notions it will affect your view on politics, push your interests in the direction of national security, and ultimately effect how you live your daily lives.............just think about it.

It is also clear to me that there is some intolerant groups of people who are energetically promoting Islamophobic stance.How about not exploiting economically unstable poor 80% of Pakistanis who live in rural areas for our own benefits like Some super powers of this world always do with third world countries.
I believe economics is the main root cause of all the un stability in Pakistan. Stable economies and low poverty cuts off any radicalism off the edge and that’s the biggest fact.

I will refuse this article’s STANCE b/c this article is either by a naive mind or an extremist mind set?
The only solution to the problems of Pakistan is through education and educated mind sets.
By that what I mean is, if, this article is intolerant of Islam and Muslims, then this article is exactly as intolerant as the Mullahs are. And that’s the exact reason I view this article as a stance in fact legitimate talibanized Jihad against average Pakistani Muslims who have got nothing to do with Talibanization..........

I am not condemning the views of this writer here, this writer has every right to promote any view he sees fit to his own mind set. He has his own freedom of expression, only , if he would have used it with more responsibility. What I see in this whole article is a propaganda against Pakistan and Pakistani Muslims while NOT focusing on real issues which are the main reason Pakistan is still miserable.......Just think about it. I still would like to know why this article was written? It appears that he is an example of an individual going out of his way to demonize Islam and he is probably a part of an intolerant group that majority of us around the here see as the cause behind the tension between Pakistani Muslims and Indians............Just think about it....

Such intolerant groups on chowk are prolly more persuasive.............
The only way to guard yourselves from these intolerant groups is to indiscriminately stand firm against intolerance in all forms and from all sides.............
I guess all of you there know poverty and fanaticism goes hand in hand. Humiliation which is going on in 80% of Pakistani population ( in rural areas), these people feel humiliated with low self esteem and they are easy preys for those that seek followers in any form of radicalism ( in the form of feudalism/mullah ism/liberal extremism)..............What I observed myself is that majority Pakistanis have a huge"victim mentality", they strongly believe they are being oppressed, humiliated and victims by feudals/governance and beaurocrates and if, they won’t be treated right, they are much more willing to commit atrocities..............Why? Just think about it.

Is this Talibanization that is leading Pakistan towards destruction? NO.....Not even a single Pakistani blamed Mullahs for their zillions of problems......Just think about it.

I believe we need to realize the economic deprivation is the main issue for the main stream poor and oppressed Pakistanis................Not the religion.

I also think that this article has underestimated the deep rooted effects of diplomacy and political rhetorics.Also I believe there is no such thing as bad religion, just bad people......................
"The Islamic religion itself is the source of the hate towards the East. And we "hate" the Muslims because they oppress women and others and are against our way of life and are trying to destroy it."
The vast Majority of Muslims are quiet and hardworking people. This article has done a great job of humiliating Pakistani Muslims based on lies, supporting democracy only when it suits you kind of attitude, propping up very few inactive Mullahs ways as to label them to all Pakistan’s ways........like turning a blind eye to the real problems of Majority poor and oppressed pakistanis( who live in rural areas). Its like all people bad or all people good........LOL( unbelievable!)
Who are the real culprits for causing all the problems in Pakistan? Just think about it.

Today’s world problems are not caused by Islam or Talibans, they are caused by OIL and it’s control and dominance between two sets of groups.........
And same thing is happening in Pakistan, there is no thing as Talibanization or Mullah ism........the actual reason is poverty.......poor becoming more poor and rich becoming richer...................tsk, tsk, tsk.....
And we’re still pretending that actual cause is Talibanization.................just immature thoughts....

No, religions do not fail us, we( the humans) fail our religions". Bad people are using religion ( which is the most beautiful in human history, to teach us humanity) or sometimes different ideologies to mobilize people against their self made enemies.......And this is exactly what this article is all about.......Just think about it.

If the author of this article honestly believes that a rogue group of a few hundreds so called Talibans is going to be able to convert this country of millions to Shiara law via Talibanization and terrorist attacks, he lives in a fantasy world within his own mind, the Fox News Channel and CNN........LOL

Anyone who takes a closer look at the situation in Pakistan can plainly see that political differences and money interests are the main cause of the conflict and the religion is merely the rallying cry...........just think about it. People like Osama Bin Laden would not even be known today had Goras not supported what would become Al-Qaida to fight the USSR in Afghanistan. Talibans would not even existed today in Afghanistan had Goras not supported and funded them to fight against USSR as their own soldiers.....Just think about it.
There is no such thing as Talibanization of Pakistan........and Majority Pakistanis can hardly even comprehend this concept,as this idea exists only in few bigoted minds...........who just wish to create havoc....and who are not sincere with the solution of main Pakistani problems and who are giving a blind eye to poverty and miseries for Majority of Pakistanis by labeling everything as Talibanization............Just think about it. This idea is borrowed by western media only........
Where as the fact is majority poor Pakistanis are left without even a hope of a future life or any opportunity........just think about it.

What if religion did not exist would Pakistan be the developed country? No , absolutely NOT. Would people not been at war? Would there be no issues in Pakistan? Would there be scamming faith healers...........and much much more would’s be.............

Suppose, if mullahs would have been dead, would 80% poor Pakistani people( living in rural areas) be comfortably living with all their needs being met decently.......................and would they be progressed?

Sometimes, religion can cause little bit of friction among certain groups of people, but, the motivations of finance and power are very clearly visible under the surface. Mullahs are merely tools which are being misused........................just think about it.

Any average Pakistani can show you the mirror like above..............just think about
