well, in my mind they’re terrorists and enemies of Pakistan. they don’t need to be punished. they need to be wiped out. that is my opinion.
but the reason why I bring this up because there are people who post in PA who think these terrorists have somehow been wronged/victimized and hence, they’re justified in “taking revenge” by killing Pakistanis. and most of these people are also the ones who get all horny about moderates and how they’re not Muslim enough for them… instead of having to defend themselves, they are actually on the offensive (not referring to CM here). which is just remarkable. seems like a case of ulta chor kotwaal ko daantay.
again, Zia and Altaf Hussain are probably the two most despicable creatures in Pakistani political history. but again comparing even them to outright terrorists is ridiculous.
I’m not denying that class differences, religion, etc are not exploited. but exploiting differences for the sake of political gain is completely different from spreading nondiscriminatory death and destruction designed to bring a state to its knees. and anyone who supports, defends or makes excuses for the latter should be behind bars, imo.
