Re: Sikh families leave Orakzai after Taliban demand Jizia
My theory is that this collection of Islamic tax has historical connotations. The Muslim invaders who invaded this subcontinent for hundreds of years were no much better than Talibans in their thinking and brutality so mass conversions followed to escape this inhuman act. this is the fact how Islam was spread forcefully. For such Islamists humanity starts with Muslims and ends with Muslims, all other human beings are zero entity. I want to ask - to wage tax upon impoverished innocent folks is taught by which text of Islam. If it exists anywhere , it needs an outright change. Make Islam a possible religion and not an impossible one, dreading the entire humanity. Those who are supporting this barbaric act are the uttermost enemies of Islam. They are insulting the vast majority of Pakistanis who are a bit progressive minded, at least not backwards. Our whole Pakistani biradari should rise against ill treatment against Women, minorities and poor people, by the jungli Talibans who are a curse on Islam.
Very good thought! At least there are level headed people in Pakistan who still put humanity above religion!
Kudos to you sir, for saying the things as it is!
