We shall overrun: The young, urban, middle-class Pakistani’s manifesto

while I don’t agree with NFP on everything especially his inability to criticize MQM for their badmaashi and terrorism, I completely understand where he is coming from on religion… look at the religious ppl and their shenanigans. look at posters here. they avail the facilities that the state of Pakistan provides (yeah, the roads are broken, the hospitals suck, the police is not professional, judicial system is corrupt, etc but guess whatever is there and whatever works, the state built it, so be fking GRATEFUL) but instead they support the Taliban who are enemies of the state of Pakistan. these types of Taliban sympathizers should remember where their bread is buttered and therefore, stop biting the hand that feeds them.

I am rather amazed by this statement. Because the Pakistani people never openly supported the Taliban. You can go back as early as 1999 and people would say that they committing atrocities against the Afghan people. The average man on the street would say that. This whole concept that the Pakistani people just changed their mind because of the suicide bombings is something one would expect from the average white American think tank. Not a Pakistani. Those of us who do live in Pakistan do realize the Grey areas of the issues.

though now they seem to be a little careful with words knowing that the average Pakistani has turned against the Taliban for self-survival if nothing else. so, now they carefully choose their words so that they can hide their support and sympathies. so, how can anyone take these people and whatever they follow seriously? if you see a beard, you know that hypocrisy cannot be far behind. if it were up to me, people who call terrorist scum like that Ghazi badmaash from lal masjid, Baitullah Mehsud, etc, shaheed would be tried for treason. these criminals were traitors and those sympathize with them are also traitors. Jamaat-e-Islami should also be banned and its retarded leadership should be asked to explain its support for enemies of the state aka Taliban. and if they refuse to abandon their support for these outlaws, then JI should be banned.

And one should expect a great deal of personal insecurity and immaturity from those who can not understand the importance of religion. My remark is just as idiotic as your remark that because you have a beard you are a hypocrite. You can not ban groups just because you disagree with them. After all the KKK and Neo-nazis roam around freely in the US.

and these constant comparisons between NFP and Taliban are absolutely ridiculous. NFP might be anti-religion, anti-fundamentalist, anti-Taliban, etc., but how many fundamentalists has he killed? how many suicide bombings against moulvis has he orchestrated? the answer is none. he writes what he feels - he doesn’t kill people who disagree with him… which needless to say is what the Taliban do. so, lets keep things in perspective.

Actions and ideology are two different things. Lets remember that before making obtuse comparisons. His ideology is a mirror to that of the Taliban. One can not survive without the other. Shame NFP can’t listen to the sayings of the Prophet nor can the Taliban.
