Re: CIA Involvement in Pakistan
I agree with this and I tried to make an effort to make this distinction a few times in my post. I don’t blame the CIA, RAW, Mossad, TTP, etc. for all that plagues Pakistan – there are a ton of poorly uneducated folk who really don’t know a damn thing about community and/or Islam who would have still been in a crap hole regardless of however Western foreign policies have been effecting Pakistan. But there are other forces at work as well in the disunity between the people, and while I fully acknowledge the corruption due to the lack of education, I find that it’s reasons like that which make it easier for outside forces to come in and keep everyone divided.
The Pakistani people are proud, very proud, yet unfortunately, many are so proud that they lose sight of reality. None of the Muslim countries work together – I wonder how many people that struck as odd to? If you ask anyone why we aren’t doing more for Iran or Iraq or Syria or Palestine, etc., most Pakistanis will sadly say, “Well what have they doen for us?” It’s not that they genuinely dislike them, it’s because most people feel like none of us have helped each other in times of need. Our Ummah’s divided and so are our nations, provinces and even towns.
Many Sahih ahadith foretell of events toward the End of Days where Muslims will be divided and weak, with more Muslims by name than in faith, before the coming of Masih ad-Dajjal. Well, that’s a bit scary ain’t it?
