He didn't nurture Taliban, he was just many army officers who used Jihadis to kick out Ruskies from Afghanistan.
Hamid Gul, Aslam Beg etc. are a small group of generals who got stuck in 80s. Why did that happen. Well these dimwits got married to Wahabi Islam. That aspect is not different from bunch of Pakistani Shia leaders who became married to Khomeni's Islam.
** Both Wahabi Islam and Khomeni Islam are imported and thus foreign to Pakistan.** **Either of them cannot serve Pakistan's interest, and thus utterly dangerous for Pakistanis. **When Hamid Gul defends Taliban he in fact is defending Wahabi Islam at the cost of Pakistan.
Similarly when some Pakistani-Shias defend Ahmade Nejat they are in fact defending Shia Islam.
As long we have zameer farosh Pakistanis who import foreign religions, we will remain in the mud just like Afghanis.
What is the religion of Pakistan? or I should say what kind of Islam does Pakistan/Pakistani follow?
