Re: Would you be ok with Taliban Sharia in Pakistan?
This is scaremongering to the extreme. There is no danger of an imminent take over by TTP thugs
Don’t use IK as a smokescreen. He arrived on the scene only 1.5 years ago. Before that he had little political influence. There are far more conservative people than IK within the army esp. at lower ranks and within the intelligence services. Many of your soldiers even colonels, brigadiers and generals have mullah-type mentality. It is easy to be an arm chair critic and call for a full-blown military operation but the military leadership knows/understands what the repercussions could be if things went haywire & many women & children were killed and/or there was a blood bath on our side in the form of heightened reprisal suicide attacks. The army chief even risks being toppled or assassinated (Anwar Sadat-style) by someone from within the army. There could be complete chaos and anarchy
The so-called liberals with means (you included) will be the first to flee the country
And I talk with evidence. Major Gen Zahir ul Islam Abbasi actually plotted a coup against the civilian government of BB and then army chief Gen. Kakar in 1995. That he failed in his attempt is a different matter. There are many such fundos with islamist leanings within the military
