Taliban and Pashtun are not synonymous. Taliban have strong support even among Urdu speaking people.

Overall MQM cannot be blamed at least for supporting Taliban in Karachi. MQM does not control police or other law enforcers. They are controlled by PPP provincial minister. So once again our PTI guy Jolie is off the mark.
Talibanization in Karachi is the result of influx of large number of displaced Taliban from FATA and KPK. MQM actually was the first to warn of that phenomenon but no one listened.

I despise current MQM policies. Will not vote for them. But that does not change the true facts.

Warning was not enough. When that was happening MQM was sitting in the government (both provincial as well as federal). As far as I believe the indiscriminate killing of pashtuns created ideal conditions for the militants to take over, plus the effects of operations which MQM vehemently supported.

The result of operations was displacement. War on terror has displaced terrorists across the globe (almost all of the Middle East and North Africa is under some sort of influence now). Same thing can be observed in Pakistan too. Before 911 they were confined in parts of Afghanistan and maybe 1-2 tribal agencies. Want more operations by all means go ahead.
