Current state of Malakand Division

Just got back from Malakand area, after staying there for more than a month what I observed and got feed back from local people and local politicions, here is the summary:

  1. The so called Taliban of Malkand( Dir, Swat and Bunir) were fully supported by Jumaat-i-Islami. Jumaat workers were fully involed in killing and beheading of innocent people and security personals.

  2. The ANP government deployed Shia soldiers(enemies of Jumaat-i-islami) to Malakand to deal with the Jumaat and the result they were brutally killed and even throwned from the helicopters.

  3. So far the soldiers are dealing the with the lower brass of Jumaat, they are arresting them and putting them in Jail but now gradually they are also arresting the lower leadership and it looks like soon they will start arresting the upper leadership of Jummat in the Malakand area.

  4. The provincial government with the help of NGOs and USAID providing jobs to the young people and it looks like people are becoming more and more pro Americans as more and more jobs coming in.

No chance for Taliban or Jumaat in Malakand area if more and more jobs starts comming into the area.

Re: Current state of Malakand Division

Amazingly you have no replies from 22 viewers , I think you are instilled with extra more JI hater.

Great news. Thanks for sharing.

This type of analysis is even more important now that the news of the escape to Afghanistan by the be-ghairat Mulha-radio Fazalullah

Please avoid associating sectarianism to Pak army. Had you looked up the names, you will find that the jawans and officers killed reflect both Sunnis and Shias.

This is the same type of accusation and rumor that was carelessly thrown around by even the pro-Pak journalists during the @rse-whooping of the lal musjid Mullahs.

We should not let ourselves behave like primitive Arab tribals and divide our military and police into Shia Sunni cr@p. If we don't learn the lesson and start dividing our soldiers along sectarian lines, we as a nation will suffer like Iraqis and Afghanis.

Jamat Islami in particular and Islamists in general are the trojan horse for our country.

These traitors are destroying our defenses from within and killing our soldiers and civilians and burning down our future! the schools and government buildings.

It is time to arrest all the JI bigwigs and send them to the gulags in the deserts of Balochistan with no food and water and let them die in the hellish summers.

Re: Current state of Malakand Division

Very good news. Thanks for sharing with us.

Re: Current state of Malakand Division

Finally some good news . JI is no more the same as it use to be like 20 years back . Too much radicalization and politicization involved . People who know IJT must have firsthand accounts of their mentality .

Re: Current state of Malakand Division

I do not think such uneducated statements and biased approach could give some positive contribution to the prevailing situations in Pakistan.
If JI workers are supporting Taliban , their activities in Waziristan , Swat and other Trible areas , it will do mean , they are responsible for attackes on GHQ, Murder of Bragdires etc, then what our Pak Army is waiting for?, whey are they are not arresting them and bringing them to courts ?
What I know about JI is , they are the Only Democratic Islamic Party in Pakistan and the only Cridit In pakistan Goes to JI who has Most Educated Workers among the Political Parties in Pakistan.
Democratic in Sense
See, pathan was their Ameer , who after his resignation was replaced by Munawar Hassan a Muhajir from Karachi.
and see the other So-called Mainstream Political Parties in Pakistan what are they Doing?
You can better under stand what is today's PML(N) Prime Agenda, to Lift the ban of third time becoming as prime minister.
and the other Party PPP, who was nominated their Chairman, do democratic people do like that , how many senior members were ignored , bypassed?

The Most Educted Vote Only JI had in Pakistan in Last election they participated in, in Karachi they were winning seats from Defence, PECHS, Gulshan-e-Iqbal
In Islam abad, they were winning, in Peshawar City JI condidate was winning , in Lahore City JI condidate was winning plus in Rawalpindi JI condidate was winning.
and the Number of Doctors , Engineers , Scientists, other Professionals associated with them may be not actively(as that may not be possible for them).

JI is reality, the only party in pakistan who did not see uptill its creation no disintigration.

JI may be a democratic party but the realty is that JI is also a Terrorist organization. They have terrorist camps in Hazara, training innocent children and men to be used for terrorist activities across the globe. Rest assured soon their leadership along with their sponsors Hamid Gul and company will be hanged in front of GHQ. Don't forget they are reponsible for killing thousants of Bungali intellectuals during the 1971 saga and thousants of Pashtun intellectuals during the afghan conflict.

You are right there are sunnis soldiers deployed as well but the one who interrogate the Taliban are mostly shais.

Re: Current state of Malakand Division

JI is a the only democratic political party ??? :rotfl:

Yea right, with one ameer since ever . Please don’t tell me they have elections for this seat .

Not to mention that if you been to Punjab University and other engineering schools in Pakistan, you will find Jamiyaat being the most terrorizing organization. I think they have the most weaponary than any other student organization. I witness them attacking our campus and beating up teachers. They are the same people who were beating up poor Imran khan.

I won’t find it surprising if they are the same taliban .


Care to elaborate what kind of jobs are 'coming in'? Any concrete numbers on how many jobs were actually created?

The majority jobs are security related like police etc. People with high school gets the uniformed police jobs but people with less education or no education gets hired for village security, they are responsible the security of the village to keep an eye on who comes and goes to the village. The village security people belong to the same village that they responsible for, usually for the population of 500 there are 10 village security personel. Other than that they have created jobs in hospitals and education and women affairs, they are providing free tutoring, computer education etc.

Kerry-Luggar bill (1.5 billion annually for 5 years) is meant to be spent on NWFP and FATA, I don't know why people are opposing this bill specially JI.

Re: Current state of Malakand Division

^ Good. That's what needs to happen. If people don't have honest productive jobs, they become fertile grounds for terrorist recruitment.


I don't know where in Kerry-Lugar bill it says that the money is to be spent on NWFP/FATA people only. You need to understand the baggage this bill carries to know why people are opposing it. BTW its not just JI opposing it ;)

Please be updated from JI Ameers History
First Ameer Syed Abu Ala Maudodi (Indian Muhajir)
Second Ameer Mian Muhammad Tufail (From Punjab)
Third Ameer Qazi Husain Ahmad (Pushton from NWFP)
Fourth Ameer Syed Munawar Hassan (Muhajir from Karachi)

Qazi resigned by himself , Mian Muhammad Tufail , Maudodi did the same , can you give such example in any Political Party in Pakistan , of Course not.
IJT (Islami Jamiat Tabla) , the only Students organization have presence all over Pakistan , have President (Nazim) pakistan wise and Province wise, being elected every year.
When I was in Jamiat, I saw
Waqas Bhaii as Pakistan Level Nazim from Punjab
then was Mushtaq Ahmad from NWFP , Peshawar university
then was Engr.Naveed ur Rehman from Karachi,

Can you give such examples in ANY Political Party in PAKISTAN.
Please come up with concreate examples only smiles will not work.

I know about Punjab University , where Only Jamiat is actively present , no other student wing is present there.
That is why there is 100% peace , parants are sending their Daughters to PU and UET Lahore with out any fear.
They are Conservative I know , but are acting as per our Culture nor imposing thier own implications of Islam like Taliban or some other Religious sects are doing.

Dont forget , they have serious objections for JUI(F) sect of Religious parties due to their moderate approach to Islam and Islamic Life.

Punjab University is the Only Voilence Free university in Pakistan , because Only Jamiate is there,
I challenge , just bring one peice of news paper about voilence in PU.

I can Understand why was Imran khan arrested by IJT supporters in PU, because He was hijecking IJT rally that day , he was not supposed address that procession, hence he was removed.
To widen gap among opposition parties Media and others Exagerated that News I am well aware of that, But, Still Qazi apologized for that and Imran Khan was convenient with it.
Imran is Still considering JI their closest friend in Pakistan , that is why is respectfully invited for many programs of JI and he is showing up there it means He is convenient with them.
If he himself have no Problems with JI , then why some one else should quote that.

Just be updated, JI was supporting Gulbadin Hikmat Yar in Afganistan, not Taliban, they had many reservations over Taliban Regim in Afganistan especially their reluctance of sending Girls to schools , colleges or work etc.
JI was the only Religious party in Pakistan who dared objecting Talibans for that , just open some archives of News of that days.

They did supported Taliban Govt, hold processions and Rallies all over the Major Cities of Pakistan , because USA had no right to invade Afganistan for unproved allegations , which many people in USA have reservation upon, that is why they rejected Bush policies and brought Today’s President.

I have particiapated in the Rallies of Jamiat and Jamat-e-Islami , just go to the Markets in Pakistan , do they close shops during Jamat-e-Islami Rallies?
The only Processions in Pakistan when Shop keepers donot Close Shops , becuse JI have Mature workers , they will do record their protest but donot believe in Voilence.

I know how Media is Highlighting Jamiate as Voilent organization, because where there workers are murdered , injured they voice it democratically and voice in Media for that. plus donot they have right, to protect their workers if some one is beating them like in Karachi.
But still Just bring one Example from Punjab university.

Here at this forum I can see many Grudges against them , but , I donot know why we are blind for their positive contribution to Pakistan.

Good you attest JI is Democratic Party in Pakistan, more example you can see in my above post.
You should be aware that they support Morally , Politically Hazb ul mujahadin stand on Kashmir issue.
Hazb is the only Jihadi wing in Kashmir who no one(USA , Pakistan) have termed as Terrorist organization.
Have you ever bothered why ?
Because they are not terrorists, they are fighting for their independence.
When Rusia had invaded Afganistan, No one had reservations on the Camps in Hazara, in Zawar (North Waziristan) etc , why they today have , obviously now their interests have been changed.
But still, if they have camps in Hazara , ask Pakistan Army to close that camps, ask zardari to operate in Hazara too.

Terrorist and hypocrites who use people's religious sentiments to gain power are the worse kind of species. Jammat e Islami falls in to this category. These are the same people who were against the creation of Pakistan, and now they are working to destroy our country economically.

However I don't agree with you that we ANP had anything to do with the military operation. It's wrong to divide our armed forces in the name of secretarian relgious orientation. Also people are not becoming pro America, people were always pro Pakistan and will always remain pro Pakistan. Jamaat is infact anti Pakistan and their agenda is divide people in the name of religion. They always bring bad name to our country. Jamaat leadership should be regarded as criminals and law must prevail and act against such criminals who fight against our security forces and support terrorist in the name of fake jihad!!!

Do you think our army went to Swat for a picnic. All sort of jamaatis, taliban, terrorist will eventually see their destined fate!!!

It's the other way round, because of these terrorist honest productive jobs are not being created!!!
