Re: Blasts in lahore, Noshera
Yes, that's right, act like Israelis. Clearly punishing family members has worked to bring Israel security.
The difference between us and the Taliban is that we are civilised. We don't punish the innocent by finding them guilty of association.
Actually, we did in East Pakistan in 1971 and that clearly worked out well for us then too.
Massive retribution may feel satisfying but is ultimately self-defeating. There is no solution but a massive military occupation, in conjunction with leveraging local forces such as tribal lashkars, and intelligence.
The struggle against modern-day Khawarij such as the Taliban who will gleefully murder Muslims and bomb masjids is not going to be an easy one. It will be a long struggle, it will be a hard struggle, and it will require the blood of many more shaheeds (inshallah) such as this brave member of the ulema, as well as from amongst the army.
This is not America's struggle. This is not the Pakistan government or army's struggle. The is the struggle of the Pakistani people ourselves, for our future.
In the past of the Ummah, there have been been countless members of the Ulema who have stood up for what is right and have been cut down for it. These sheikhs and maulvis were leaders and examples to all Muslims in their time, and in these days we need their kind to step forward once more and act as a guiding moral beacon to Muslims as we struggle exterminate the stain that is the Taliban.
