You cannot ignore geo-political forces.
Its a vicious world out there.
Do not be so naive.

They will come for one by one and eventually they will silent each and every voice of reason and courage. And we as a nation will be in deep sleep or more frankly in a coma, and whe we will wake up, there will be no voice of reason left. I hope one day this nation will wake up and tackle this monster of cruelty with iron hand.

Now, the issue is to focus on solution/ strategy rather than raising questions. Enough time has been wasted in raising questions. What strategy needs to be adopted both by provincial and federal governemnt when they are knowking at your
doors. Needs exhaustive discussion and strategy both by those in the power corridors and intellectuals.

To curb these elements from our society , in addition to the suggestions given above , we need to focus on root causes, poverty and illiteracy, being the prominent amongst them. If we will not tackle these issues , we wont be able to form a true pluralistic society which is open and accepting towards others.
We need reforms, radical reforms , to pull out our country from this deep abyss.If we didn’t address these issues immidiately, we must expect more misery and affliction to come.

Tarq, what sacrifices your soldiers have given? This was your military which groomed these talibans and promoted religous fundamentalism in the country for the last 35 years, in order to disturb the peace of the neighboring countries and marginalize the nationalists as well in the name natrional interest. An excellent peace of writing!

Mr Sami
Rest be assured, if no action is taken against the extremists these people will be knocking at yours, mine and Mr. Kayani ‘s door soon. It is naive to think that an ostrich like attitude can serve the army and security establishment. Army is paid to preserve national security and if it does not act, common people will continue to get suffer.

You are right but let us not forget that role of Pakistani government in Lal Masjid and Akbar Bugti episodes was not clean. If government people do not react the first time Constitution and law are broken, they too become a part of the problem. Government does not mean seeing to it on a day to day basis if law and Constitution are being upheld and deciding where to act. Government is elected to enforce laws and Constitution without any delay or bias. If the government does not do that, it has failed the people.

The people of Pakistan have to decide once and for all if they want to be a pluralistic democracy or a Saudi style religio-monarchy i.e.mullah supported, thoecratic state run by a dynasty. Religious based countries are destined for failure. We need to move towards secular soceity where religious prefernces are left to individuals not the government. Otherwise, you will have endless strife. Pakistan is currently a feudal soceity where the mullah and military machine is used to benefit the fuedals. These fuedals occupy the parliament with theri agents in the military and mosques keep the population in a straglehold.
