'Jihad' against an occupation force is fine by me - I don't consider it terrorism. Some of India's own revered figures engaged in violence against the British, as did those of the US.
The LeT did diverge into terrorism later, and it is banned. However, Saeed has distanced himself from those acts of terrorism and condemned them (though he was involved in the fight against occupation, which is not terrorism) so unless he can be shown to have supported those acts, I do not consider him to be guilty.
Oh, so religious extremism of the worst kind is fine as long as they "cause" they claim to be fightin for is a "legitimate" one?
Do you realize the absurdity of that statement? Do you have any idea how many Kashmiri civilians (that's right, not the Indian troops who you hate, or the "Indian" civilians who don't matter as much) they have killed in roadside bombs and firing on crowds in broad daylight?
Or that radical Islam is being used to turn perfectly normal people into verse-spouting Jehadis?
But all that is fine isn't it, as long as they are fighting for "freedom".
I guess "freedom fighters" get judged differently in your world of jehad.
As you said yourself, India is still building a case - she hasn't offered Pakistan anythign except a bunch opf papers and images in some 'dossier'. Let us know when you have something tangible to work on and we'll work on it as we have indicated already.
In the meantime as a gesture of goodwill, despite the belligerence and irresponsible behavior from the GoI, we have detained some suspects. They will be tried when and if India cooperates and shares evidence, or our own investigation brings something up.
As a responsible nation, Pakistan is supposed to do
her own investigations and prosecute the people involved, like India is doing in the Sadhvi Pragya case and the Col. Purohit case, and not justify their acts as a "Freedom Struggle" or such nonsense or sit smugly demanding "proof".
Even those two have denied their involvement in the blasts - but I guess the GOI isn't saying "Huh - they're "distancing" themselves from the blasts so now its okay since they are freedom fighters".
Gesture of goodwill? More like the Almighty Eyewash.
I really don't know what it will take for Pakistan to stop letting these "non-state actors" flourish on her soil. Maybe when they take over Islamabad will you guys realize it.
