The singing of “Adel” declaration in a tiny Swat valley by Asif Ali Zardari, the president of Pakistan, and declaration of the Sharia law!! by the Taliban Leader Mullah Sufi Mohammad had shaken the western world , therefore, it directed its NGO’s and its mass media to propagate against it.
Although, this declaration has been done null and void by the beginning of the Military operation in the said valley on 27th of April, still the west is very anxious about the “probable” implementation of Islamic code of life in some parts of the Muslim countries.
According to democratic principles, law is made according to the need of people and what the people want. And this is why no one has questioned those countries who made the homosexuality as lawful. However, that counts as a crime in the Muslim world.
The main question is, why do those who believe in those principles are opposing the need of the people of Swat, if these people unanimously want the implementation of the Sharia law? And why they compelled the govt. of Zardari to fight against its own people and bring them to the knee against their own wishes.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s assertion that the Pakistani government was ceding more and more territory to Islamic extremists arose the question that whom should be blamed for all these mass?
From the history we learned that they were the great powers how played the great game to create problems among the countries, in the nations or among the tribes of a nation for safeguarding their own interests.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are part of the same game, played by the Great super powers of Russia and The USA.
The defeat of the Russian forces by the Afghan Heroic nation in 1990, resulted in the distraction of the Soviet empire and the freedom of Europe form the threat of Communism. The world, however, ignored the freedom fighters and left them on their own. They did not bother to help them to establish a stable government and make the world secure. Instead, they spread the seed of war among their saviors and brought Afghanistan to turmoil for more than 5 long years.
To crash the mujahedeen resistance movement, they created the new phenomena of “Taliban”. The thought, at the time was, to control of the Taliban was easy, and will be assumed as the army and implementer of the goal of the great game. Things went on the opposite side, though. Afghanistan became Taliban hard core, and for long six years they were the Kings, and doing what they wanted to do under the sacred name of Islamic Sharia.
Nevertheless, the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan by the US and its allies, in 2001, became the main cause for paving the way for the Talibanisation not only in Afghanistan but also in most parts of Pakistan.
The Taliban influence in 22 out of 34 Provinces in the southern Afghanistan and in the most parts of Pashtoon tribal belt on the other side of Durand line are the best examples.
The ignorance of the Pakistani cooked interim government for Afghanistan in 1992 and igniting so-called internal fighting among the Jihadi and Jihadi-com-communist organizations in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, by the than Soviet Union , USA and its allies has brought Afghanistan’s stability to turmoil. The result was ,as USA had predicted and expected, the defamation of Jihadi idea and blocking the extension of Jihadi culture to the central Asian Countries, already under the occupation of the than Soviet Union.
The utmost result of all these turmoil were, the creation of Taliban movement, financed and armed by USA, Saudi, and Pakistanis under the guidance of Naseerullah babar, the than interior minister of Pakistan and member of the central executive committee of the Pakistan People’s Party(PPP), who was latter on called the commander of the Taliban forces.
The creation of the Taliban Movement, against the Jihadi’s in Afghanistan was cheered with happy claps by the USA, specially by the than secretary of state Madeleine Albright, where Mr. Ahadi and Mr. Ashrafghani , both financial ministers in the American installed government in Kabul, and now presidential candidates for the forthcoming election under the supervision of the occupation forces, were appointed as spokesmen of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
As soon as the Afghan Capital captured “for” the Taliban , the table turned on the US and the Taliban announced their own leadership and their own government. And thus the Talibanisation of Afghanistan begun. However, the un-experienced and less-educated elements in the Taliban movement had damaged and defamed the very fundamental ethics of Islamic code of live, and within six years the Taliban were back to the places they had came from.
By installing a puppet regime in Kabul with a gang of Mafia and war criminals, as its ministers and governors in 2002 under the pretext of Bonn agreement , the western thank tanks thought , the mission is accomplished. However, the idea was a pre mature and with occupation of Afghanistan the situation of the country went back to the Soviet era of 1980’s. The Taliban Movement along with other experienced Soviet era mujahedeen forces became active and started vigorous rebellion against the occupation forces. Now, after seven years of occupation and pushing 80000 western well armed troops, the rebellion is ,according to a western agency “Senlis Council think tank “control, directly or indirectly, more the 72% of the Afghan territory.
The occupation of Afghanistan shows that, with the gradual increases of foreign soldiers along with brutal bombardments, and killing of the innocent people, nothing has been changed but has given the opposite results. There are more revolts, more armed actions , more damage to the occupiers and more turmoil.
The British, whom had experienced the defeat by the hands of Pashtoons in 19th century, decided to alter the situation and shift the Taliban war to the Tribal belt on the other sides of the Durand line. The purpose was to weaken the burden of the fighting on the British soldiers already camped in Helmand Province.
The increased involvement of the USA in the internal affairs of the Muslim nations, by installing their puppet regimes under the aegis of Democracy , establishment of their military basis for the safeguards of the brutal and corrupt regimes and for its own interests( like Mubarak of Egypt ; Abdulla of Jordon , Abass of Palestine…..) made the situation in the Muslim world more uncertain. Imposing their western culture through their well known strong NGO’s and well managed propaganda by the various electronic and printed media, disvaluing the Islamic Culture and Ideology and disgracing the people, all and all ,became the matter of the day .Where the believer of all these ideologies were tortured under the very pretext of Terrorist , al Qaeda , ant Talib.
By these kinds political games, the US pushed the Muslim nations to the wall, therefore , the immediate response would and could have been to show reaction with strong resistance against the alien principles introduced by the US and its allies under the very name of Democracy.
As a matter of fact, the definition of Democracy is not the same in the Muslim world as it is in the western. Democracy itself is, the government of the people by the people for the people. However, the principle of Islam tell to the believers that their leader should be elected by the people themselves. It is prohibited to impose one himself on the people by the power of the gun or the gang. However, these are the western who have been imposing the Dictatorial regimes of the Kings and presidents on the Muslim nations. In Islam it has been proven 14 century before, where the first Khalifa (Abu baker Sedique” may Allah be pleased with him” ) was elected by the assembly and letter on voted by the people in the grand Mosque of Medina.
Therefore, Democracy and electing the leader, Khalifa or president is not the question , the question is the philosophy behind the very idea. In the western world , the idea behind Democracy is Secularism and building of a society on the non religious basis . However in the Muslim countries we should have in mind that the background for Democracy should be based on Islamic principles . The most crystal clear is, what is ethically prohibited in Islamic Junction is accepted by the west as ethics.
The manic of Talibanisation itself began by the US and its allies. This had been the US who brought the Muslim world and the Muslim nations to the turmoil and war like situation. If the Islamic front of Algeria, who won the presidential election in the 90’s had allowed to make their govt. the situation of that country wouldn’t have been so deteriorated as it is now, where thousands of innocent people have been killed and the struggle is still continued against the imposed regime. The same is the case of Hamas in Palestine who won election in 2006 but its elected government was not recognized .
The Mujahedeen , whom were morally and financially helped by the west were not allowed to make and run their own government .
The Taliban movement has the same case, where in the letter stages , their supporters and allies turned their backs to them and latter on fought them as the enemies of the west.
USA occupied Afghanistan in three phases as the Russian did in 80’s. First they destroyed the Russian empire with the help of the Afghan Mujahidin, secondly they tried to eliminate the Jihadi movement by the creation of Taliban and in the lost phase they destroyed the Taliban movement by direct Military invasion where the northern alliance worked as their mercenaries.
The transition of war from Afghanistan to the Pashtoon tribal belt of Pakistan itself had negative results for the invading forces. As we have been watching the burden of the war became more heavy, instead of declining on the British and allies.
The task, of eliminating the so-called extremists and the hideous positions of the Taliban-com-al-Qaida, was given to the Pakistani Military Dictator, Gen. Pervez Musharraf.
President Musharraf on his turn send more than 95000 well armed Pakistani soldiers to the area to quell the fire of insurgency. However, instead of eliminating the Taliban Hard core, motivated the people to defend the insurgency as their pure Islamic inherent.
Combatant operations by the Pakistani army from the one hand and from the other, the increase of Drone attacks on civilians locations and residential areas, and killing of innocent people , the area itself turned to strong insurgency base against the US invaders. The Pakistani army once believed by the Pakistani nation as their saviors, and defenders of Islamic junctions , also become to be hated by the religious scholars and even some of the scholars given order (Fatwa) not to accomplish burial prier for the dead bodies of the soldiers dying in the war under the pretext of terrorism.
The Musharraf regime, did what it could for the US . The Pakistani military might had made as mercenaries of the USA. Even the responsibility of one of the firs Drone attacks which happened in Bajaur area, where it killed nearly hundred children of a religious school, was also taken by the Musharraf regime as the attack of Pakistani army on the terrorist hub.
Until recently thousands of innocent people of the Pashtoon tribal belt have been killed by the Drone attacks and these killing are continued.
As US veteran, retired Marine Corporal Rick Reyes put it in a congregational hearing on April 24, 2009. Where she urged congress to rethink US strategy in Afghanistan.
In her hearing she said: “We were destroying people’s homes and injuring Afghan civilians for no reason. I witnessed firsthand how we began creating enemies out of innocent civilians. I saw how Afghans began hating us. As a marine, I began losing sight of why I was there,” Reyes testified before the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on Thursday.
“Almost 100 percent of the time, we would find that suspected terrorist turned out to be innocent civilians. I started to feel like we were chasing ghosts. I love this country (US). I would give my life for it. But we as a country have to rethink Afghanistan, after eight years of US military intervention, we have yet to identify our mission for being there,” Reyes said.
There were expectations that with the departure of Gorge. w. Bush and with forthcoming of Barak Husain Obama as new USA president, the previous policies would be changed, and the culprits of the killing of innocent people in Afghanistan and Iraq would be brought to the justice. Thus the situation on the ground will go towards tranquility. However, nothing has been changed.
The Drone attack has been intensified, and the genocide of the Pashtoon tribal belt continued unabated. Besides, the weak and inexperienced Zardari’s govt. who got the vote of confidence on the wave of sensation of Benazeer’s murder, not shown its capability to control the situation and stop fighting of its own nation and pave the way for solving the problem of the people encompassed in the battle field.
The request of the Pak govt. for stopping the Drone attacks were ignored by the US army.
The Indian involvement in the Talibanisation process also cannot be ignored. India, the enemy no.1 of Pakistan, has surrendered Pakistan from both, the east and west. in the eastern border, is the control line and in the western border is Afghanistan where India has opened more than 18 Diplomatic-come- intelligence missions under the aegis of Diplomatic councils. Most of the insurgency in the Baluchistan area of Pakistan, by the Baluch nationalists has been blamed on these intelligent-come- Diplomats. One of the Baluch leaders (Bugtti), based in Afghanistan, confessed that they are using every opportunity to free the Baluch nation from the reign of Pakistanis. The Indian also helped some of the Pashtoons nationalist Tribal elders to work as Taliban in the area against Pakistani authorities.
In fact, non of these so-called Taliban leaders are religious scholars. Neither they know what Shariat law is. About Shariat , their vision is “strict penalty for those whom, according to them are criminals”. This is why the non-Muslim circles are trying to support these people for defaming Sharia and Islam as a whole in the minds of the world.
Therefore, The USA as whole is responsible for all these mass they have spread everywhere in the Islamic world. If the US had to set with Islamic movements, initiated from the Schools, colleges, Universities , and other academic institutions and had a tolerance of accepting their ideologies and their role in world affairs, there wouldn’t have been so many problems, and the USA and its allies wouldn’t have knees under the huge burden of all these economic expenditures.
Now according to, Ex-Permanent Representative of the USA to the United Nations, ex-Ambassador of the USA to Iraq and Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, “The longer the USA is in Afghanistan, the more America will be weakening .
“I am personally convinced that the unilateral policy of the USA in favor of Israel against fundamental interests of Palestinians and Moslems as a whole is the original reason of such intensity in the world. Without such comprehension, the more America is in Afghanistan, the more America will be weakening,” Z. Khalilzad concluded.
Therefore, this is up to the USA policy makers and thank tanks to re-think about their policies toward the Islamic countries as well as towards the Islamic Movements in the Islamic World.
