It’s fascinating to observe the trend of 6/7 persistant Musharaff (and army) haters who never utter a word to condemn the brutality and ruthlessness of Al-kaida.
The contributing factor in the increasing strength of Jihadists is that the ideology of Al-qaeda is enourmously supported by most (if not all) Wahabis and Wahabified sunnis in Pakistan. These ardent supporters have seeped their way into the army, the intelligence, the institutions, this very forum, you name it.
As far as the ideology of Al-qaeda is concerned, any sect who do not follow their way of extreme, violent islam is “Mushrik” and “Munafiq” and should be killed according to the definition of Jihad. The central dogma of jihadists is to cleanse the world of all mushriks and munafiqs by any means, preferably in a savaged and beastly manner.
It’s basically a hate-based organization and the sequential list of their supposed adversaries or enemies is never-ending, ranging from America, India, Shiites, Qadyani, Agha-khanis, to Non-wahabified moderate sunnis, Khojas, Bohris, christian and hindu minoroties in Pakistan, etc. If the extremism keeps gaining momentum in Pakistan, the consequences would be much more than just closing down girls schools, bombing video shops, killing barbers who shave beards, demolishing billboards that show women’s face, abolishment of co-education, destruction of TV sets, mandatory observance of abaya, etc. Pakistan would be destined to see the worst bloodshed of the world’s history.
The main problem is that a sizable percentage of people do not understand the depth of atrociousness of this community and they secretly sympathize with them. It’s just not their brain-washed barbaric militants that are posing a threat, it’s the environment of intolerance and Hate that they create in the society. “Their cancerous radicalism pits muslims against Muslims, and the whole world in a broader view of the situation.”
