Malala and Ahmed

This is shocking, terrible and unbelievable. Although I am a pro-Taliban, but I am aghast and outraged at what they have done, provided it really was them. Malala, I am so sorry and I hope you survive and not die. I am glad for the support Imran Khan and the government has announced for you. I know this is not the time to sniff for conspiracies, but I remember how the media went hoarse when the Swat video filming a women being lashed was released in 2009, prior to the Peace Deal with Taliban. That video played a key role in turning public opinion against the peace deal and ultimately resulted in the Swat Military Operation. Months later, it was 'quietly' reported on the media that the video was fake and had been specially filmed and released by an anti-Taliban NGO. The NGO's head went out of the country to avoid backlash. Sometimes I also feel that the advisor to Taliban or someone with a strong foothold amongst them is an American agent with a deep knowledge of the Quran and Sunnah, for Taliban sometimes do acts which are extremely harmful for the Muslim cause but they justify them technically with references to the Quran and Sunnah. This was just the kind if incident which America has been waiting for to justify to the world their use of drone attacks in north-west Pakistan and to press Pakistan for a ground operation in North Waziristan. I hope this event now is not a 'Foreword' for operation in North Waziristan. Its timing is strange; it has happened just after Imran Khan's anti-drone march to Waziristan, and the discussion picking up on drone attacks. I would be so sorry if the great girl Malala is being used as an icon by any side. However, what I find ironical is that USA slams attack on a 'child', while they themselves kept Aafia Siddiqui's seven-year-old son, Ahmed, chained up for five years, such that his feet bones are deformed today. And Aafia Siddiqui still lies rotting, and sometimes hemorrhaging with forced abortions in their jails, while they failed to find evidence against her. In her comparison, is Yvonne Ridley, who came out of the Taliban custody unscathed, untouched and later converted to Islam. I do not understand how the same Taliban can do this to Malala. May Allah Almighty grant Malala health, education and Guidance, Ameen.

Three Outstanding Points of Imran Khan's Peace March to Waziristan

Imran Khan’s voice has international recognition and was joined by the international media and activists. Imran Khan is trusted by and represents both, the religious and the secular. Imran Khan was able to motivate people from all over Pakistan and every walk of life to go to Waziristan with him as opposed to having local and political attendants only.

Imran Khan, Damn if you Do, Damn if you Don't

PTI is being criticized for not reaching Waziristan. Had they forced their way through, they would have been accused of violence and clashing with the state. Since they have remained peaceful and positively compromising, they are being accusing of backing out. This is what is called; damn if you do, damn if you don’t. Let it be noted that it is PTI’s reputation of being smartly daring that even women, along with their children, are willing to attend his demonstrations and seminars at the most strategic places, including their anti-drone rally blocking the NATO supply-lines route in Peshawar, back in April 2011.
