There are no ‘good’ militants

Perhaps the attack on the GHQ may prove to be a watershed that compels the security and civilian establishment, as well as most of the opposition groups, to realise that the time to distinguish between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ religious militants or Taliban was over, and a consensus was needed to confront all such groups as enemies of the state.

On Monday, Hakeemullah vowed to exact revenge for the killing of his predecessor Baitullah Mehsud. He moreover pledged allegiance to Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar and was accompanied by a sectarian hate-monger who is also wanted in connection with an attack on the US consulate in Karachi. This triumvirate of sorts should send a clear signal to the security establishment: there can be no differentiating between good and bad Taliban. They are one and the same, on both sides of the Durand Line. Militant sectarian outfits in Pakistan are also part of the Taliban–Al Qaeda nexus now and must not be spared in the ongoing crackdown.

Talibans are evils

Talibans are fighting evils.

America is evils

America is fighting evils.

Talibans created by America so if Talibans are evil, then America is evil too

America was wrong to attack Iraq and Afghanistan.

As a man of average intelligence I saw the attack on WTC on September 11, 2001 on TV and it shocked me.

American intelligence community found out that this attack was planned by Al-Qaida blaming Bin Laden and Mullah Omar and they were in Afghanistan sheltered by Talibans. So America attacked Afghanistan to eliminate Al-Qaida and Talibans. So far what America did, any country will do the same.

What mistake America did, was to attack Iraq without any reasons. The vast majority of Americans were against this war. Even President Obama, then a Senator was against this war. President Bush went for it against the wishes of the vast majority of Americans. This does not make America an evil country because an unpopular President went for the war.

The Talibans are now against Pakistan killing innocent civilians through bombings. They are indeed enemies of humanity. They are not only a problem for America and Pakistan but for the entire Muslim world with 1.5 billion human beings. Non-Muslims believe what the Talibans are doing is Islam. This is totally false.

Those who kill innocents, do not follow Islam.

Allah/God says in Holy Quran “If any one killed a person … it would be as if he killed all mankind; and if any one saved the life of a person, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind.” (Quran V: 32). According to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) “Murdering a human being is one of the biggest sins.” He adds: “Be kind to all living beings so that Allah may be kind to you. Allah does not shows His mercy to whosoever shows no mercy to fellow humans.

Terrorists are in all religions, not just Muslims. If they believed in God, they will not slaughter innocent people. Hitler and all NAZI killers were Catholic Christians. Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf: “I am convinced that I am acting as the agent of our Creator. By fighting off the Jews. I am doing the Lord’s work.” In 1938, he quoted those same words in a Reichstag speech. Question. Would you blame the good religion of Christianity for the action of Hitler, a Catholic Christian terrorist who slaughtered 36 million human beings including 6 millions Jews, all innocent. The lesson here is “no religion teaches terrorism” The terrorists use terrorism to achieve their own evil goals. Read about Hitler’s religion at this site

Not a moment goes by in this country without a glaring example of this, and you’ve just given me several. I didn’t hear you address the 100 tons of nano-thermite, or the false pretense of either of these wars, or the fact that the supposed mastermind is still no where to be found. I didn’t say anything about WMD, but that excuse for annihilating two million Iraqi’s, littering the country with depleted uranium, and leaving burned out husks of poisonous military vehicles for the children to play on was quite evidently a fraud as well, and I’ve yet to hear so much as “I’m sorry” from anyone. A decade of crimes against humanity, and your only response is refer to some academic interpretation of “eco-space.”

Even more preposterous is after poisoning our own water supplies ( and virtually everyone else’s ), you want to use this country’s gluttonous propensity for controlling the resources of others as some kind of selling point for capitalism ( which in case you weren’t on earth last year, failed worse than Marxism, communism, and fascism combined ). I keep waiting for this country to reach a level of hypocrisy that not even it can bear, but clearly we haven’t reached it yet.

Take a look at this video and see what “trickles down” to these poor people who did NOTHING to incur the wrath of this country except be born on top of resources we decided to take: http://bit.ly/4nApUJ

Or perhaps you’ll be moved by the plight of these women who were “liberated” from their husbands: http://bit.ly/hRcLs. We all grieve for widows of war in this country but when have we ever been faced with 1.5 Million of them, and how would this country react to such incredible injustice?

It’s time to start facing reality in this country, and as a result of two hundred years of intentionally avoiding it – there’s plenty of it to face. Calling me a Marxist or suggesting I “bite you” isn’t going to change that. It’s unlikely that I’ll respond again should you wish to continue this diversion, but if the level of conversation remains the same, you can rest assured – I won’t.

The demise of the Ottoman Empire, the post-WWII business of the standing European powers transferring their mandates into new chartered states, the remnant of European Jewry, and the persecution leading to eviction of about 800,000 Jews Arab counties following Israel’s chartering again installed a population sufficient and motivated to sustain a Jewish nation.

For militant cousins across the Islamist Front, the Jews and Israel have provided a kind of magical crystal, an ultimate and especially dark prize in the globalized sweeps of destruction and fear amid a covetous competition for power on the dismal terms adopted for the unearthly ends imagined or merely leveraged.

“It has become increasingly apparent that all the forces engaged in all of the conflicts on this planet were (as you say) sired by colonial forces.”

There has in fact, been a vibrant international eco-space in existence ever since men with wooden ships figured out they could trade one item of perceived value for another item of possibly greater value. These activities have accelerated since the sea lanes of commerce were firmly established. The eco-space activity is determined and has been determined for centuries by treaties, and lesser memorandum(s) of agreement between nations. So while on the one hand there may be a public hostility toward American interests abroad the greater irresistible aspect of players wishing to dabble within the international markets cannot be discounted. As I write this American businessmen are hammering out deals on water resource acquisition and allocation with men such as Gaddafi who is willing to belly up to the table with a billion and spare change. Think: the Okapi Pipeline. http://www.bluemajestic.net

Will a few entrepreneur businessmen add to their wealth funds? Of course. But will the local economy be stimulated by employment opportunities in a region sorely lacking in opportunity? The manipulation of the eco-space is financial benefit which can trickle down to the lowest levels, in some cases. So do we innately hate the engineers with Ph.D’s, the administrators and planners with MBA’s while at the same time wildly embracing the underclass for no better reason than their poverty? Poverty does not make for saints any more than wealth makes for sinners. Thou treadest closely to Marxism, Bill. It has been shown not to work. But a healthy and vibrant eco-space which is supported by governments with only a dusting of corruption is a workable model.

“…three more ‘terror suspects’ have been rolled out in pathetic attempt at re-ignited fears of ‘Al-Qaida’ training camps in Afghanistan.”

Possibly you have not been tracking the flow of Eid-al-Fitr zakah offered up with felicitations to terror organizations. Oh Happy Day!

With all the carping about not finding WMD’s in Iraq we should return to the basics: the WMD within the asymmetrical battlespace is a carbon carrier of approximate 180 pounds weight. Just like drug mules, the mules of al-Qa’ida are equally dangerous to humanity.

“The entire world is responsible for this reality.”

Bite me.

Of all the evidence proving that the Taliban ( or anyone in Afghanistan ) had nothing to do with the attacks of 9-11, it’s difficult to point a better singular example than the discovery of 100 tons of nano-thermite being the actual cause of the World Trade Towers’ destruction: http://ow.ly/j51I

Since planes, box-cutters, or any amount of caves in Afghanistan could not have had anything to do with this reality, we find once again that these people are just another in a long line of scapegoats and misdirections to prevent the people of this world from focusing on the real enemies of humanity.

What is also quite apparent however is that in the prolonged madness of the war against the USSR and this war against US occupation, these forces – all over the world – have become adept and comfortable with being subject to, and subjecting people to all kinds of atrocities and horrors. Decades of mind control and violence have turned these once pawns into uncontrollable “packs of mad dogs” and clearly – not even their handler’s have any say in their actions anymore. The self fulfilling prophecy of these groups has finally come to fruition, conveniently right when the colonial forces have run out of money, manpower, and will to engage them.

This can’t come as a surprise to anyone paying attention. The fact that we as a species cannot face the fallacies that comprise the non-civilization we live in on this planet means the endless cycle of death and suffering that we witness daily and have become numb to, just continues unabated. As a result ( and from lack of options ) these uncontrollable fanatical groups have come to believe in and rely on their own power and righteousness, and once that threshold has been crossed, true reasoning becomes extremely difficult if not impossible.

The entire world is responsible for this reality. The fact that the world allowed these people ( whatever they were before ) to become the focal enemy of a blatant and ridiculous lie put them in the position to fight with any means available, or to lay down and die. It is quite obvious the path they have chosen and in a world that refuses to deal in factuality or reason, it’s hard to imagine what choice they really had in what they have become. As you point out, these people were uneducated and poverty stricken to begin with as a result of the previous decades of violence, and as unspeakable and unforgivable as their actions are, it is certainly understandable how it happened. There was no place on this planet for these people to turn to receive any fair or reasonable hearing or redress, and the monsters they have become are the monsters they were being portrayed as anyway. The entire world accepted the United States’ preposterous explanations and justifications for the millions of tons of bombs dropped on these people, and their reaction isn’t very surprising.

Until we can change the context of our perception of reality, the perpetual arguments over false “sides” will continue ( in a vacuum ) ad infinitum, and will never reach a conclusion. There is no justification for the unimaginable death and suffering that has occurred on this planet, nor can there be any “just” retribution for it. There is also no excuse for the fact that we allow the conversations to be minimized to who is “right” or “justified” in killing whom. Were we to face the actual truth and meaning of existence, no one would harm or kill anyone, ever. If these individuals at any point in their entire lives had been treated as beings of value and not demonized from birth, it’s unlikely that they would have chosen the direction that they have.

It is this conversation that we must change, and that cannot happen as long as the puppet master’s continue to direct and dictate the conversation. These driving forces – not only their many corrupted foot soldiers – are the ones we must find a way to expose and strip of their control, before the true humanity that I know exists on this planet can have the freedom and opportunity to thrive, as truly intended by God.

Your Brother Always,

No hard feelings. I merely retain healthy respect for freedom of expression. There is the need for us to enter the intellectual ring of fire and come out with the smell of the smoke on us.

Regarding our entrance into Iraq, and these are my own opinion:

*We did not adequately consider the sociometrics on the ground.

*We created a political vacuum after the toppling of Saddam. As soon as the borders became porous Shi’a were trekking toward Karbala and Najaf from Iran, and the Iranian Shi’a majority was cheering along the sidelines. What a deal! A rise of the Shi’a who had languished since the 16th century. What a rumble!

*We did not make a grand entrance into the Grand Ayatollah chain of command, which might have somewhat put the damper on cleric Muqtada al-Sadr a bit quicker and prevented flanking destabilization. We disregarded a vibrant and existent chain of command.

*We did do what the Commander-in-Chief promised he would do after 9/11: Hunt those who sought to harm innocent Americans on sovereign soil. Our troops have been both shield and magnet. For that, I honor my own.

*We have undoubtedly done many things right for which we will never receive aknowledgment.

But in the final assessment, this is not the 1980′s. This is the 21st century and we are situated on the timeline allocated to us. One of the distinct deficits I have noted within the Muslim community is optic nerves wired to the back of the head. I think you know what I mean. There needs to be a bit or rewiring to face forward, square the shoulders, and seek viable solutions to what is looking us square in the face today.

I cannot change yesterday. I can impact tomorrow.

This specific discussion was about Taliban. I hope you agree with me that America in late seventies and eighties contributed hugely in resurrecting that Hydra.

I quite agree with you that US is blamed and made a scapegoat for anything happening under the sun, of course sometimes unduly. But then that is the mantle that a leader has to adorn. So be of good cheer and take it as it comes.

The shield you spoke about is good if used with caution and as long as it does not trample down a nation or another group’s self respect. Also, allow me to say that all your actions are not altruistic either; raiding Iraq for WMDs is a case in point.

No one can deny the US’s well honed talent and technological advancement. Today’s world is indebted indeed, but it is indebted in the same way as it was during different time periods, to Chinese, Egyptian, Indian, Babylonian, Sumerian or Persian Civilizations. In those days Europe perhaps was using a square wheel.

Today you reign supreme. We have no hard feelings for that. Your advancement is ours too; it was nurtured by humanity as a whole. But you have to play the role of a scapegoat, destined for you by our racial unconscious.

I hope, no hard feelings.
