Pakistan must confront Saudi-financed madressahs

Defeating Taliban in Swat was just one battle. If Pakistan really wants to purge fasadi menace then it must confront thousands of madressahs which teach intolerance to children.
These madressahs are the breading grounds of suicide bombers. Action must be taken against their financiers in Saudi and UAE. Otherwise we will continue to lose innocent people at the hands of the khawarij, who think that anyone who disagrees with them is kafir/mushrik.

SLAMABAD, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Unidentified gunmen shot and wounded Pakistan’s religious affairs minister, Hamid Saeed Kazmi, in a brazen attack in the capital on Wednesday that killed his driver, officials said.

Pakistan has been braced for retaliatory attacks by the Taliban and other groups linked to al Qaeda since a U.S. missile strike on Aug. 5 killed Baitullah Mehsud, leader of the hardline Islamist group in the nuclear-armed country.

“We have been receiving threats because we are against terrorism, we are against Taliban, we are against Baitullah Mehsud, we are against suicide attacks,” said Kazmi’s brother, Mazhar Saeed Kazmi.

The attackers struck as the minister was leaving his office.

“I was standing outside our office when I saw two gunmen escaping on a motorcycle,” Iqbal Siddiqui, a ministry official, told Reuters.

Local television news channels showed images of Kazmi with what appeared to be a leg wound. Khalid Hussain, a doctor at Islamabad’s Federal Government Services Hospital, said Kazmi was in a stable condition.

We can't. We have a deal with them.

We dump our political riff raffs on them.
They dump their religious riff raffs on us.

On a serious note.

Many Paks are beholden to every thing Saudi and Arab due to the religious link.

then

many other Pakistanis are beholden to everything Iranian due the "other" religious link.

As long as religion is #1 and Pakistan is #2 for us, we cannot free ourselves from the shackles of either Saudi or Irani Maulanas.

Re: Pakistan must confront Saudi-financed madressahs

how sad it is that u put country b4 ur own religion. well, remember, we have to, one day, face Allah...ALONE and with our BAGFUL og misdeeds ... think bro!

That's not the problem. And neither is it the point of this thread. You can keep your prejudices to yourself. ;)

Point of this thread is the radicalisation of Pakistani people by the madressahs and their financiers. It is crucial to sever this link, otherwise the khariji menace will not be defeated fully.

No religion teaches you to put your country below any other thing either.

Religion is the way you live and breathe.
Country is the protective boundary where you live.

if you destroy the boundary, and you will not live and breathe either.

Madrassahs do not operate in vacuum.

People who run them, and the government who watches over them, are obviously ignoring what you are saying.

And the number 1 reason, Pakistanis are ignoring extremist menace is ........ our religion.

Got it?

I don't think it is really due to the religious link, it is more about money. Saudis made these madrasas in the poorest regions of the country, it is easy for them to exploit those people with little money or with basic needs.

Are you blaming Islam itself for extremism?

Re: Pakistan must confront Saudi-financed madressahs

Oh please dont mess with them, poor Musharraf might not get anything in his kashkool :hehe:

Sure money is needed for any endeavor and extremist madrassahs do rely on gulf "charities" for the money supply.

However we must appreciate the "religious fervor" among the extremists. They commit atrocities in the name of religion and not for 10 riyals.

We may not like their brand of Jihad, but they in their mind are truly fighting for their religion.

They have many sympathizers among Pakistani masses, and the government. And majority of the sympathizers do not get the Riyals or dinars. These masses and government officials support the cause of madrasshas in the name of religion and jihad.

So let's jump in and start fighting in the name of religion. just try to understand the motivation of those who study in the madrassahs, who run them, and who protect them.

peace!

Re: Pakistan must confront Saudi-financed madressahs

HOw about confronting terrorist organisations which are formed by our beloved neighbour first.

But wait, it was Allama Iqbal who saw dream of Pakistan too :hehe:

Islam is a concept, how can you blame a concept. in fact the blame goes to the people who use/abuse a religion for their purposes.

In this particular case, the blame goes to the way Pakistani sympathizers of extremist madrassahs use the religion for their motivation.

Or America. In other words, how is that mentality not any differant than the "blame America (tm)" attitude?

Re: Pakistan must confront Saudi-financed madressahs

silly people with silly thoughts. Forgetting RAW and Israeili Agents and thinking inversely. :D Keep it up ppl

RAW etc. is the enemy WE KNOW.

Arab charities etc. are the enemies hidden under the veil of Muslim brotherhood.

It is always easy to deal with the enemies we KNOW. We have already built up defenses against them (that may not work all the time, but the defenses are in place).

On the other hand,

It is mighty difficult to defend against someone who YOU think is your brother. Especially if he is free to come and go into your territory, and thus able to do great harm and you won't know until it is too late.

Time and again, it has been shown clear as a day, black as a crow, that extremist madrassahs are the source of terror, but we can't defend against them.

They PRETEND to be the centers of our religion, and thus we are DEFENSELESS against them.

If you say, RAW is pumping in $billions into our madrassahs, We'll catch every Indian carrying in bagful of Rupias.

We can't! there is none!

Because the PEOPLE who are pumping $billions into madrassahs are our "Muslim brothers from gulf", They walk in with suitcase load of Riyals/dinars and we just smile and say Ahlan Wasechlan.

We can not catch them. We'll be hurting our religion our Muslim brotherhood if we go against our Muslim brothers who fund and train extremist madrassahs.

Hope this clarifies things.

Re: Pakistan must confront Saudi-financed madressahs

What about those who are not allowed to come to country. Like Altaf Hussain? Arent they enemy to us?

Well Duh!

He is a known "enemy" How many times have you seen him carrying suitcases of money to the extremist madrassah. Forget him carrying suitcases of money. Poor thing can't even bring a shaving kit to Pakistan.

Stick to the topic will ya?

Re: Pakistan must confront Saudi-financed madressahs

^^ it indeed topic... as topic not says only about madrissah but all those enemies who let such madrissah create blunder in Pakistan and for that Altaf Hussain has also a lot done and may still do much more "while sitting in his nest".
