Re: What is Imran’s stance on Pak’s creating and supporting Taliban against Afghan NA
First perpetuate the problem and then leave when it suits you, when things go haywire. How very convenient! Americans are hopelessly stuck in Afghanistan, the WOT is going nowhere and they know it. Agreed we would still have these religious nutjobs regardless of the American presence in Afghanistan. But those who fail to see a cause and effect relationship between what is happening in Afghanistan/FATA and the rise of extremism are also living in cuckoo land. Even if the US did not start the problem that we are seeing in Afghanistan and Pakistan now, they are certainly perpetuating it. These people did not become extremists overnight. They have been radicalised over the past three decades by events happening in the region starting from the soviet invasion in the late 70s. All they have seen is destruction and carnage in that time.
Fault lies in our education system and esp. with molvis as well, the vast majority of whom are not enlightened. Pakistani masses esp. are very vulnerable and emotional when it comes to religion, more so than other muslims (that is my neutral observation, don’t know why). They are often the ones who make the biggest noise and overreact every time someone insults Islam or our Prophet pbuh.
Americans leaving Afghanistan won’t make the problem disappear overnight but it w’d significantly abate IMO
