Re: Malala Yousufzai - Free Pakistan - Kill the Taliban

What about Karachi then? Should we give the same treatment to gangs in Karachi and Sindh as well? They've probably caused more damage than terrorists in Wazirastan.

Re: Malala Yousufzai attacked

Get off your high horse. Those days are long gone when you can associate religion to any criticism of terrorists or their supporters to silence people. Now, people can see through this charade & its likes of you who sand exposed. And calling Taliban bearded monkeys is an understatement.

Re: Malala Yousufzai attacked

You are allowed to call Taliban bearded monkeys only if you are bearded yourself. Imagine a woman in bikini (which is you) making fun of a burqa clad woman (Taliban).

Hope this makes sense. :D

Re: Malala Yousufzai attacked

and you get off your high donkey, call taliban or ttp all you want, who cares. but associating a derogatory term such as "bearded monkeys" in general with those who follow this one of the most recommended sunna's which even falls under category of wajib for many, is not very nice thing to do, nore is supporting it any better mr khan.

Re: Malala Yousufzai - Free Pakistan - Kill the Taliban

The gangs in Karachi are damaging Karachi, the others are damaging the whole country. And they have repeatedly told the rest of the country that they don't want peace, they want to force their ideology on the rest of the country. Imran khan was doing the anti drone rally and they were saying that they don't need some secular persons help, as they can defend themselves.

The Pakistani Taliban has launched a scathing attack on Imran Khan as he prepares to lead a “peace march” against US drone strikes.

A spokesman for the group said it would not provide protection to the former cricketer as he leads what organisers hope will be tens of thousands of protesters, including several US peace activists, into the country’s most dangerous region of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) on Sunday. The area has been off limits for years because of the complex war being fought between the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Pakistani army.

The TTP has rejected “baseless” reports that it would protect Khan, who has led the high-profile campaign against the CIA’s unmanned aircraft attacks on Fata, which have killed many leading militants. “Our mujahideen are not so priceless that we deploy them to protect a westernised and secular personality,” the spokesman, Ehsanullah Ehsan, said.

Khan regularly attacks Pakistan’s westernised liberals, earning him the nicknames “Taliban Khan” and “Clean-shaved Mullah”.

But the TTP have been unimpressed by his credentials as a man of the religious right, describing him as a “slave of the west”.

“Imran Khan’s so-called peace march is not in sympathy for drone-hit Muslims but only to increase his political popularity,” it said. The group added that it would not reveal whether it planned to attack Khan’s convoy, in order to protect “military tactics”.

In recent days, other militants in the area have warned of dangers to the marchers. On Thursday in Tank, one of Fata’s administrative units, leaflets from a little-known militant group called Mujahideen Jaishul Khilafa were circulated, warning people not to participate in the rally.

If anything “unpleasant happened”, Khan should be held responsible, the leaflets warned, adding: “On the politics of drone, [Khan] is promoting the Jewish agenda and Christianity.”

Khan had claimed the militants had no problem with his plan to march to the town of Kotkai in South Waziristan. “The tribes have got in touch with the militants and the tribes have told us that it’s fine, they have no objections to it,” he said.

But even without Taliban opposition, doubts have increased over whether he will succeed in entering the region, despite claims by Khan’s supporters that the army had given its blessing.

Some officials from Fata were adamant the protesters would not be given permission to enter the territory. “[Khan] should realise he is going to put everyone in danger,” Tafsheen Khan, the chief secretary, warned.

Joining supporters of the Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf are foreign anti-war activists, including a largely female contingent from the US group Code Pink, and Clive Stafford Smith, the director of the British human rights group Reprieve.

Re: Malala Yousufzai attacked

Beheading/shooting people in the name of Islam is totally ok. Calling killers bearded monkeys? Totally not allowed. I can see how you became a great logician.

Re: Malala Yousufzai attacked

Is beard only synonymous with Muslims? The proportion of Sikhs having beard is far more important as compared to Muslims. Secondly what kind of Islam and Sunnah are the so called thekaydaars propagating?

189

Re: Malala Yousufzai - Free Pakistan - Kill the Taliban

Last time I checked Karachi was part of Pakistan...anyway, TTP is only one of the many groups and tribes fighting among each other as well as fighting against the army. It's all not as simple as Pakistani media shows on tv.

Re: Malala Yousufzai - Free Pakistan - Kill the Taliban

In addition to the killings that these beasts have carried out during the past 8 years, the biggest issue I have is that they are propagating the wrong image of Islam in the world.

191

Re: Malala Yousufzai attacked

Calling Taliban bearded monkeys is offensive to those bearded muslims who don't agree with Talibanic mentality. Shamraz and Ali, why do you guys want to paint all bearded muslims with the same brush? Don't you think you're demonizing religious people by putting them all into the same categories as some terrorists?

192

Re: Malala Yousufzai - Free Pakistan - Kill the Taliban

I don't think they have anything to do with Islam. It's the liberals and their tool (media) that want us to believe otherwise. Look at how many times the word "mullah" has been used in a derogatory way in this thread?

Re: Malala Yousufzai attacked

I see a lot of people here with Bush Syndrome: "you are either with us or against us"

Being against drone attacks <> supporting taliban
Being against American intervention <> supporting militancy
Being against taliban militancy <> approving US led NATO policies

Re: Malala Yousufzai attacked

Those bearded fellows should also feel offended and openly condemn taleban for their "unislamic behavior". No fatwa against them has so far come from most of the esteemed islamic scholars. The time has come to shun these "kaafir taleban" and expose them.

Re: Malala Yousufzai attacked

now you are bringing in something irrelevant to what i said. nobody endoresed and neither will unlawful shooting of anyone, be it in the name of Islam or any other idiology for that matter.

Ali sayed, i’m not follower of Sikh-ism and i’m sure neither you are. I know what my deen says, i dont care what value beard has in other mazahib. as long as our deen concerns, its one of the sha’ir-e-islam and we should respect it. for the starters, if an Engineer kills someone over and above law and does anything bad, not all Engineers can be called killers.

and by the way beard was not given this darja by any “Mullah” or “thekaydaars” of islam, it was our beloved prophit Muhammad :saw2: and his companions’ rizwanallah-e-alayehim-ajmaaeen who did so. its an individual’s own fault if he thinks what TTP does and teaches today, overrides what our islaaf did hundreds of years ago, and wrong doings of a few criminals does not warrant this kind of generalization.

i did my job, reported the post, when got no response also raised the concern right here in this thread, our mods are better decision makers i’m sure. now i rest my case

What makes you think "those bearded fellows" haven't done it already?

And can you please name these "esteemed Islamic scholars"?

Attack on Malala reignites fears of targeted killings in Swat | DAWN.COM

In the last four months, two businessmen and outspoken anti-militant campaigners have been shot dead and two others wounded, raising fears of a wave of assassinations targeting those who speak out against extremism.

“In the last three or four months, unknown persons have started targeting elders in the area who want peace in Swat,” peace activist Mukhtar Yousafzai told AFP.

“We fear it may be the start of targeted killings.”

All four victims before Malala were senior members of an anti-militancy group. Yousafzai says he too has been threatened several times.

The army claimed to have killed hundreds of Taliban fighters in Swat, but many are understood to have fled to Pakistan’s tribal belt and into Afghanistan.

Fazlullah, under a bounty of 50 million rupeese, has never been captured.

Local residents ask how the attack could have happened and how the perpetrators could have escaped an area with such a visible police and army presence.

Police blame the recent shootings on gunmen who cross the mountains into Swat from the northwest, then melt away without trace.

“It is very difficult to hunt down these people in the valley, a home to more than one million people,” one local police officer told AFP on condition of anonymity.

Malala goes to the Khushal Public School founded by her father Ziauddin, a prominent Swat teacher, in a middle-class neighbourhood of Mingora. Her family never believed she needed special protection.

“It happened in broad daylight. It means some (extremist) elements are still here and it is really disturbing,” said Habibullah Khan, a shopkeeper in the Mingora bazaar.

The shock in Mingora is palpable. Relatives, family friends and well-wishers have visited Malala’s house, where police now stand guard, to express support.

“Our only demand is protection. We need security. The government has completely failed to protect students,” said Ahmad Shah, chairman of the association of private schools that includes Malala’s.

“Girl students in particular feel insecure.”

Security analyst Imtiaz Gul, who has written extensively about the tribal belt, suggests that after three years of relative peace, the authorities may be letting their guard drop and enabling Taliban remnants to strike.

“We have to keep in mind that lots of militants are embedded in the population without being detected by security agencies,” he told AFP.

“It is quite possible that complacency within the security services and civilian government encourages them to resume their terror campaign.”

Re: Malala Yousufzai attacked

this bearded fellow right here condemn TTP's every single unislamic behaviour openly on every forum... do does every sane person. there have been a lot of fatwa's against them, so many esteemed ulema karam martyred for issuing those fatwa's and raising voice agianst them and making public opinion against them, and it doesnt stop here, it will continue till there are muslims in this world.
