Radical Islamism and Jihad
Swat Flogging: Anguished Pakistani voices

By Arshad Haroon

I am not a guru of dialectic materialism, neither educated by the imperialism, colonialism or neo colonialism. The whole point is very simple for me; Taliban, through their barbaric and brutal ways, are challenging the basic values of my culture, threatening livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Pushtoons and our religion. They are tearing the very fabric of my society. They want us to go back to the Stone Age. For those leftists who still believe Taliban can be equated with drones are as naïve as Qazi or Munnawar or Imran Khan, since they see all evil lies with drones.

Baitullah is not the product of drones neither his suicide bombers nor the rest of his entourage……they are the products of the policy of “strategic depth” achieved under the successive reigns of the moguls of GHQ. While Pakistan Army is going low on testosterone Pushtoons are left to mend for themselves. The supply lines for NATO didn’t create Taliban; supply lines were established with agreement of the so called representative government of Pakistan to fight against the Taliban. Those of you, who believe it’s only an American imperialist war, let me remind you that war in Afghanistan was sanctioned by the UN. Equating it to any other war is unreasonable.

In Pashto there is a saying “ Che Marg raashi no Sarey Tabaey Ta Ghara Kegdi” “when faced with death and fever one ought to choose fever” In the current context I would like to accept the “fever” of drones against an imminent annihilation by the Taliban!
