Re: JI to PTI – ‘Good looking Jamaat-e-Islami’
You might not agree with JI's ideology but you do admit they have following and the followers think that PPP and MQM's followers are not 'normal people like them'. They cannot change this following into electoral success, is another story. As I said, JI and PTI have strong similar views about corruption and american presence here. The alliance is not about Islam, as far as I know. Funny thing is that it is Peoples Party that seems to have biggest issue over Imran's colorful past. If it was Islam, JI would have been the first ones to reject Imran. I don't know what is SO wrong about allying with JI. If it is about extremism then we have PPP and MQM are in alliance and thousands have died in Karachi since that happened. Killing a person for political reasons is as evil as killing a person for religious beliefs.

JI has always been doing character assassination of its rivals, by finding faults in their personal lives. For instance, in 1970s the JI targeted “un-Islamic life style” of Z.A. Bhutto. In public speeches and slogans in rallies; it called Bhutto “sharabi” and “za’ni” (buzzer and adulterer). However, Imran’s colorful life and his established love-child never bothered the JI. In the case of Bhutto, however, the JI went so below the dignity as to allege that his mother was a Hindu. When in 1994 the critic of Western culture and British aristocracy, Imran married a lady from British Jewish elitist back ground, it did not raise JI’s eyebrow.Well everyone do and get advantages which is in their favor and aginst rivals in poltical war.
Now the question is what is the problem with JI. JI inspired from militant islamic movement of egypt is in its structure a semi Facsist party, a so called care taker of religion and is always involved in violence and bloodshed and consider is a legitimate way to achieve the goals. Anyone who has studied in some public university /college in Pakistan knows the evil face of Islami Jamiat e Talba (student wing of JI) , IJT is involved in killing of students from karachi to Peshawer and infact they are brainwashed in such a way that they consider this bloodshed legitimate as it is helping them to maintain their occupation of university campuses
Recently one arrested militant who was involved on attacking Sri Lankan Team revelaed that one of the planner in attack belongs to Jamat e Islami and he gave logistic to attackers in Manssora. As usual Jamat e Islami denied that.. Just imagine if some of the other party had this allegation, what would be the response of IK then..he would had mentioned this 1 million time on media but at this point he is dead silent , atleast he never said that there should be an Judicial inquiry about alleged involvement of JI in terrorism, the same inquiry which IK demand for every other incident
History of JI/IJT is full of Dead bodies politics, blood shed, violence, torture and ironically IK cant see that , because in my opinion he has no knowledge about many thinks and when you are surrounded by ex- Ji guys then they prevent you to see that..MQM use the name of Mohajir and JI/IJT use the name of religion while both are violent and there is not much difference between them.. IK can see terrorism of MQM but somehow he cant see the past and present of JI/IJT
Whenever military operation is started against terrorists, JI start shouting "Apnay LOGON kay khilaf operation ho raha hay" Yes these terrorists can be people of JI but not ours. IF MQM terrozing karachi than JI doing it from Karachi to Fata. And if you still think that this alliacne could bring some change you better think yourself more.
