Pakistan Forum is an Independent Open Forum to Discuss Political, Economic and Social Issues
Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has announced yesterday and accepted the responsibility for the Karachi suicide bombing that killed 43 people and left more than 80 injured on December 28, 2009 Reuters reported.
A TTP commander said more attacks will be launched in the next 10 days.
Today Aitzaz Hassan in a statement during a press conference called at his home said Sindhi Topi and Ajrak are symbols of Pakistan.
Does Mr. Aitzaz Hassan wanted to say that Sindh is Pakistan now?
We could not understand any other meaning of his statement.
After the attack of terrorists on a mosque in Parade Lane (Rawalpindi) on Friday, Rahman Malik Interior Minister asked Pakistani Ulema to give a fatwa against terrorists. He also wants the fatwa should say that they are not Muslims.
Maulana Muneeb Rehman on GEO TV and other Ulema and Maulvies and Mullahs are making statements that according to Qura’an and Hadith “anybody who killed one person he killed whole human beings”.
Barak Obama, also referred to this Quranic teachings in his address in Cairo.
The question is when Christians and Qadianis were murdered within the boundaries of Islamic Republic of Pakistan at that time no A’alim, no Maulvi and no Mullah said anything about these murderers. Nobody gave any reference of Qura’an and Hadith. It seemed that killing of Christians and Qadianis was Ok with the Ulema and the government of Pakistan.
In fact, Aamir Liaquat Hussain, a self appointed A’alim said openly in his program ‘Alim on Line’ on GEO TV that killing of Qadianis is acceptable in Islam. On Youtube you can see the clips of that program. No Aalim, no Maulvi and no Mullah said anything against Aamer Liaquat Hussain. Christians and Qadianis are not human beings?
This is Islam as interpreted in Pakistan.
Islam is very flexible religion anybody can interpret the way he likes. When Iraq attacked Iran in 80s both countries declared it is Jihaad.
When Aamer Liquat Hussain declared on GEO TV that killing of Qadianis is acceptable. That was his interpretation of Islam.
When Taliban or other extremists Mullahs use the same Islam to attack and kill other people then why you seek fatwas against them. You did not sought fatwas against Aamer Liaquat Hussain and other murderers of Christians and Qadianis. In fact supported the killers.
Will these type of fatwas are going to stop the terrorists from their actions. I don’t think so. Then why we are kidding ourselves.
Aitzaz Ahsan and some other people who call themselves experts say that president Asif Ali Zardari can not be prosecuted while he is in the office.
It may be right, it may not be right. That is not the question.
The question is there are all indications and many people who are in the know said very openly that there were solid evidences against in the money laundering case in UK, SGS bribery case in Switzerland and misconduct in the food for oil case in Spain. So after that did Asif Ali Zardari has any moral ground to hold such a high office?
These were the cases which were outside Pakistan. There were many cases within Pakistan. A long list of those allegations are listed in the NRO List issued by the PPP government.
