Indeed, that is very true. But hasn't time demonstrated again and again that political will can be bend by the military for its own purposes? Isn't then sectarianism and radicalization on the agenda of the military top brass? Secular terrorism isn't a Pakistani problem at the moment, it doesn't exist here.
I am not looking to blame military for everything, but don't expect me to praise them for a menace they have created themselves and have to fight it currently. Their short sighted policies in the past and irrational decisions led to this. So while I praise the army making sacrifices to secure our future and eradicate terrorism from this country, I also remember that its because of themselves in the first place that they need to make sacrifices now. Kinda like anxiety and cigarette!
Let me show you something.

And yes, these are from this country itself and I have just began to scratch the surface.
@Psychic Do have a look.
You are trying to link two historical events and trying to find a link military had in it. Its not as simple as it is.
As for those Facebook links, its PEMRa responsibility to block those links. But PEMRA wont do it. Its not Axact. This case of sectarianism is like the case of Ayyan Ali - its going nowhere because its in political interest to keep in limbo. To my point again, lack of political will.
Military did not bend the will of politicians. Its politicians who give military political space to manoeuvre. If politicians show leadership, military will recede. Just like in Turkey.
Turkey at the end of 2002 was like Pakistan. Its exports barely $25 billion. Now $130 billion. Just to give you an idea what political leadership can do if its 'neeyat' is right. but if its dishonest it will give you what Sharif Zardari and Altaf have in the last 3 decades.
By the way dont forget. Nawaz signed a deal with Musharraf to get lost, Benazir did a deal with Musharraf to come back and Altaf was in permanent alliance with Musharraf. So dont tell me that politicians will was bent. Politicians had their share in bringing military to power. If military steps in now, not a tear will be shed for Nawaz.
There is secular terrorism in Pakistan and is dangerous in equalt degree to religious terrorism. The secular terrorist in Pakistan is MQM.
In Pakistan political leadership, is all thieves or murderers.
start from 80's state sponsored jihadis from across the globe karachi was used like a motel ... millions of illegal afghans were housed in the city .. locals of karachi retaliated with their pistauls and still are doing the same ! this is the story of MQM and the sole reason for any symphaties they get from local karachis population
MQM started as a terrorist org. Its first confrontation was with local Pathans back in April 1984 in Banaras colony.
MQM politics was always based on ethnicity. It fought against other communities living in Karachi based on language. First it was pathans, then it was Sindhis.
Dont be so biased . I still vividly remember wall chalking by MQM -
Sindhi Mohajir bhai bhai
Dhoti Naswaar kahan say ayee.
I m totally in favor of eliminating language based politics in Pakistan and no mercy for a party patronizing terrorism.
