Question for Pakistani Intellectuals
By Anwar Jalal • Jul 18th, 2009 • Category: Politics • 14 CommentsWhenever some Muslim countries( Palestine, Iraq. Chechnya ,Bosnia ,Kashmir, Afghanistan etc ) have ever been attacked or atrocities are committed to Muslims by (non Muslim) states or powers , the people of Pakistan , in particular Pashtoon have always shown solidarity with them by arranging protests ,demonstrations , strikes and public meetings besides special prayers in mosques for the safety and blessing of the Muslim of the oppressed Muslim country.
Now in Pakistan the Pashtoon( tribal )areas are being bombed by USA drones almost on daily basis since the last so many months but it is a sheer surprise that not a single muslim country has dared to utter just a word of condemnation against these indiscriminate drones attacks nor the muslim masses of any country have arranged any protest demonstration in favor and support of the muslim of this part of the muslim world called Pakistan ..
WHY ?
Are we Pakistani more committed Muslims or Muslims of other countries are less care about Muslim Ummah?
I wish the intellectuals circles of Pakistan may contemplate over it and shed light upon it

Why is this even a question? “Pakistan” exists to champion the causes of muslims living outside its borders. Interact with any pak in any blog, it takes 2 seconds before the discussion goes to the “plight” of Indian muslims!
Forget that in Pakistan, from 25% in 1947 to less than 2% today, you have exterminated the Hindus literally and those who still manage to live there have guranteed second class citizenship, an honor shared with ahmaddiyyas and christians.

PLAIN LIES.
WHAT ABOUT CHINESE MUSLIMS????NO PROTESTS.NO SOLIDARITY.
Look, dude, Pakistani “defenders of Islam” OPPOSE THE NON-MUSLIMS more than support the muslims!!!!
Do you guys remember the Danish cartoon issue? Compare that with what happened in China.
Many muslim countries and muslims had protested outside Denmark embassies; and some riots and killings happened too. But nothing, absolutely nothing, happened over killing of chinese muslims.
Are chinese muslim lives cheaper than a cartoon joke?
This tells us one thing: All this Muslim brotherhood is political. Young muslims faith is being used for political gains by ulemas, etc. whenever they find it convenient.
I think only Al Qaeda publicly sent a warning to China. They have to anyway, they become alienated by muslim world, so they have to show the world they care.
Mr. Jalal, i assume you are a pushtun yourself and i will try to give you some food for thought….american drones are not the only ones killing pushtuns…..Afghanistan is also killing pushtuns….pak army is bombing pushtuns areas…..pushtuns are killing pushtuns in their own areas….pushtuns are being suspiciously looked at in other parts of pakistan……talibans are hiding in the ranks of peaceful pushtuns…..you guys need to think what you have been doing wrong lately…..you guys need to think about yourself first and not the whole of muslim ummah !!!!!
Well its called politics man, Pakistani government never condemn a issue which will harm its interests so that other Muslim countries are doing by no interfering in so called war against terror.
A request that please increase your font size so it can be easy to read. Thanks.

if puktoons had sincere leadership in 1980s, nobody would have dared to plan such dirty games in their soil. Zia and Americans had known the price of warlords and political characters of puktoons so they paid them and turned this area as training centers of insurgents.Same was done in saudi and in Afghanistan and Iraq.All suffered owing to worst leadership who consider these unprivileged people as their paid and emotional soldier.Brain wash them and pay them and do what ever is planned in western laboratories in the name of human destruction for flourishing war industry in their countries.

it was not happened in china only when Muslims leader and people are quite.It is happening each year in Palestine,That was same when a Muslim leader did to Kurds and Saudi money is using in mass killing of anti wahabi groups where they can breach by inserting flood of money.Russians brutalities are on record to Muslims and till now they are trialled in international court of justice on the basis of humanity grounds.No religious factor was ever discussed in such trials.
The human and leadership psychology in most of Muslim cultures is like that people don’t bother for poor relatives and weak leadership of these creatures by intentions never take interest in projecting these issues.
I had witness these cartoons 4 months before in Arabs papers and nobody noticed about it but when it was published 2nd time ,there was special purpose and it was achieved through power of media and
firy speeches of blood hounds clerics.
It’s been a problem to entire the nation of Pakistan that we love to die for the rest of Muslims. I’m afraid to say it a problem. In other words its been called “concerning about ummah” that seems to be an obliged duty to only Pakistani ummah. Today when our gaurdians, the pushtoons, who always saved Pakistan from the enemies, are under sever attack fromseveral directions including within. We are loosing a bit more optimism in the sence of cnocerning the Pakistanis specially our true and brave Pakistanis.
Gone are days when Pakistan had an ambition to lead the Islamic world. Rightly so then people were lead to believe that to partake in all the broiling situations and the fire ignited around the Muslim world was sacred job for them to serve the cause.
Pakistanis have been out and about and fighting fires for others. Mean while the known leadership atop has since been hijacked or eliminated or eroded. The fire fighters jihadies at lower level still feel themselves committed to their cause and known leadership is absent. Ironically they find themselves just headless mercenaries whose services price has already been received, in cashed by the so called heads and they have since vanished or made to vanish. In the process this home land has totally been ruined and left to sizzle in anarchy and mayhem spread all around us.
This nation is needs of a Messiah
Obaidullah Aleem says:
Tou nanah munnah ek diya; main ek samudar andhiaraa
Tou jaltey latey bujhney lag aur pher bhee andhera ghar main hey
—————
Duniya main khapaey saal kaie; akhar khula ehwal yahee
Who ghar ka hou ya bahar ka; her dukh ka madawa gher main hey
Because, the Americans are doing a great job, helping our Armed forces, by taking out terrorists through Drone Attacks. Even the Pukhtoon locals of tribal regions are actively, covertly cooperating with our security forces to hunt down terrorists. No one feels any empathy towards the extremists or their cause
Ibrahim,
American drones are only taking out the ‘bad guys’. Even our security officials are said to be very pleased with the effectiveness of these drone strikes. The term Taliban doesn’t equate to Pukhtoon…there is said to be a greta number of Punjabi Taliban, thanks to the inefficiency of NOON League government in dealing with these terrorists.
A Question Arises Here:
WHY DOESN’T THE Noon League Punjab government take any action against the extremists said to be thriving in Southern Punjab? Is Noon league sympathetic to the cause of terrorists? After all,the Noon League Punjab government which earlier had challenged in Supreme Court the release of Hafiz Saeed by Lahore High Court, mysteriously withdrew its petition from the SC a couple of days ago? WHAT DOES THIS INDICATE? ANY CLUES?
Noon League wants all sorts of chaos in Pakistan to pave the way for mid term elections. NS thinks that he is at the peak of popularity nowadays and can get elected with more than 2/3 majority. Then he can have his dream of becoming ‘Ameerul Monineen’ true and do whatever he can including taking revenge from Pervez Musharraf and starting military actions against MQM.
With judiciary on his side, NS is flying high and hatching plans to get rid of PPP govt. In fact, having the ‘aashirwaad’ of USA and by keeping quiet and watching the political drama unfolding, NS no doubtedly playing his card shrewdly and one may see many more such moves from his side which will destablize the present govt.
Needless to mention the meeting the two leaders had on the other day in Raiwand, and the memorandum of understanding signed jointly. It was an effort from AAZ to buy time from NS who is well set to get his govt dismissed before the end of this year.
Impatient he may be, NS who claims to be a champion of democracy, must wait for his turn and let the PPP govt complete its tenure.
PPP led alliance must complete its constitutional term in office!
