Taliban
Mujahideen or Mercenaries
Going
through the most recent uttering of Taliban and taking responsibility of
killing of people belonging to Shia sect of Muslimsin Karachi and Rawalpindi,
leaves no doubt that they are coldblooded mercenaries.
Though, they claim to be
fighting Holy War (Jihad), their acts completely negate teachings of Islam. Anyone
who propagates that killing of people who are not directly involved in fighting
with Mujahideen is permissible is misinterpretation of Islam.
The history
proves that Taliban were trained, provided funds and weapons to fight against
USSR army that had invaded Afghanistan. It may be unfortunate that after 9/11
they have to fight with those who have been taking care of all their needs. The
United States has also divided them in good and bad categories only to achieve
its ultimate objective, prolonging its stay in Afghanistan.
Good Taliban
are those who are helping the Nato forces to achieve certain objectives and bad
Taliban are those who are demanding more money and when they don’t get it they
retaliate. It also appears that now the war is not for imposition of Shraih but
collection of booty. Afghanistan is world’s largest opium producing country and
United States its biggest buyer, the largest number of drug addicts live in
United States.
One can also
recall that Taliban announced that they were coming to Karachi to free its
people who are hostage of MQM. This was in retaliation of the campaign sponsored
by the MQM and proposed referendum. Taliban knew that Muharram is the best time
to attack Karachi and they could use Shia Sunni split. Residents of Karachi had
rejected this point of view decades ago.
May be Taliban
don’t know that largest number of Sabeels (water serving points) and largest
quantity of Taburuk (eatables for the mourners) is distributed by Sunnis, who
join Shia in reminding the world of the most brutal act of assassination of
Grand Son of Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) and his companions.
Over the
years many had attempted to stop Majalis (gatherings to remember killing of
Imam Hussain and his companions) and Jaloos (processions) but in vain. Taliban’s
claim that they would follow the footprints of their ancestors is nothing but
an attempt to create split, when Muslim need unity the most.
AT this
point in time Gaza needs the largest number of people to fight Israel, which
has expanded many times the area allocated for it. Therefore, they should go to
Gaza rather than killing innocent citizens of Karachi.
If they don’t
do this, people will be right in assuming that the Taliban are ‘B’ team of CIA.
They are in Pakistan and waiting for an opportunity to invade Iran and in the
mean time weakening the country which has supported them the most in the past.
Agree , shabbir sahab you are right.
