Re: Terrorists storm Peshawar school, Scores of students killed
I am absolute on this … I do not condone any slaughter of innocents - the “but” is merely an internalisation of a situation (that what did we do wrong in this?) it is not apologetics or sympathy - it is the necessary change needed when we form strategies - we cannot see this situation as one that operates in a vacuum - the TTP they are not orcs that are raised by an army of evil demons; unprovoked … and I would say the same to them - that the children of anyone even if they are the army people’s children - they are innocent and it is haram to hurt them in any way … The problem is we are not ready to change … if we continue to address this situation with blood thirst vengeance through unjust means then we are no different to the terrorists. How can this discourse be equivalent to siding with the terrorists?
I’m calling them what they are …terrorists … I believe they have no political ground and zero moral ground and for the stronger of the two sides (the army, government, people) to use a form of violence that did exactly the thing you say … “slaughter of innocents” then what ramifications will there be from the minds of those who are already extreme? Yes their innocent losses were collateral and their reaction was intentional and was evil … They did have innocents that were slaughtered … Did we expect anything less from extremists? But the problem I am focusing on is how we are ignoring the killing of ALL innocents and in addition after this attack by them we are ready to do the same to them and their families … I see no difference in mindset - the Pakistanis on the whole are no different to the TTP. You cannot criminalise the voice that I present - to do so will harm Pakistan even more because this position will be taken by those who wish to see morality restored and by taking out the people who want morality you will expose the country to the Wrath of God. The people of good who are in Pakistan are the reason why Allah (SWT) has not yet destroyed it … speak to them … the first thing we need to ask for is patience and the second thing we need to ask for is wisdom.
