Let me clarify one thing, i am not from FATA.
let me stress on the point again, tribals didnt ask British to impose FCR on them......it was ikhlaqi zimadari of British successor i.e Pakistan to abolish FCR in tribal areas while at the same time let FATA be an autonomous region........No tribal has ever condone condone FCR and has always demanded political reforms in FATA, which PPP government fulfilled it.....The turn out in FATA in this election was 36 % despite being a warzone while 42% in KPK....what does it indicate? people of FATA want to be part of political process of pakistan, they have even demanded their own province qabailistan.... They have to come to KPK for education and jobs.....it is propaganda against them that they dont want education, progress and development.....
Afghan jihad took place due to russian invasion...........and FATA was chosen as refuge and training ground for mujahideens by ISI......ISI extended help only to islamist factions in Afghanistan........Then they fully supported taliban during civil war......then musharf back-stabbed same talibans.......then he started military operation in FATA in 2004 on American orders for dollars...........TTP never existed before 2004 and before lal masjid operation.
Dont be a dumbass, lakki marwat and dir are not in FATA.......
Operation rahe e raast was carried out with 60 thousand troops, air force and what not ,as if they are in war with india....just on a district.....the details of collateral damages are horrible.....swat is nowadays peaceful because of nature of its people, they were never hostile , not to taliban nor to army.......if you are weak , you will be crushed and humiliated by any one.........it is noteworthy that ancestors of yousafzais of swat destroyed mughal armies of akbar one after another when they tried to subdued them....in 19th century same yousafzais rejected taliban-like rule of syed ahmed bareilvi....kept sikhs away from their territories....in 1897 they revolted against british........but now what has happened to them?....iqbal has rightly siad, "hey jurm e zaifi ki saza marg e mafajat"
Alright . I know the FCR was imposed on them by the British , I never denied it .
However , it appears that you haven't been reading the posts quoting the historical facts on what conditions the tribes joined the newly born state of Pakistan , they signed more or less 30 instruments of accession ( from different tribes ) to accede to the nation on one strange condition that the " FCR continues and their special status maintained " and that the Govt has little or no say in their matters and they be " left alone " and " none shall meddle in their affairs " . How exactly does the moral responsibility of the Govt of Pakistan remain when your elders and jirgas themselves favored the law to continue ? Blame them , not the state . The Govt has always wanted to abolish this special status and introduce political reforms , however if the tribals wanted the law to continue and have been silent all over the years , then again the blame is not with the Govt . Like I said , the silence is approval ! I have heard tribals protesting over dozen different things but not over the FCR which makes it look like they are eager to continue their old status .
Political reforms , sure . A little good thing happened , that some sort of representation was allowed but is it anywhere close to making F.A.T.A like a regular region of Pakistan , absolutely not ! Still encouraging , but sadly not enough . There is no propaganda , find me a link where tribals are protesting against the FCR and demanding state to take over . I haven't came across any . The first thing to do , when they chose to accept the jurisdiction of Pakistan over the region is to turn the weapons en masse to the Govt and leave the security to the state .
The whole thing has its roots on the special status of the land , nothing else that I wanted to say . I have never supported the Govt's decision to take part in the so called Jihad in the 80's . Red Mosque operation was a necessity for the militants to be reminded that their state inside the state wouldn't be tolerated at any cost .
Dimwit , show me one place where I mentioned them as part of the tribal belt !
Wrong ! The strength never exceeded 45,000 even during the worst phases of the operation and besides airborne troops nothing significant was put forward there . Yes , its a war in ways more severe than the conventional one , learn to understand it as such . Collateral damages occur in such warfare , a reality that we have to accept . Swat has always been peaceful , possibly because the people there never had the obsession with weapons .
Yes , those stories of empires and kingdoms were applicable for the past , now a days , state/countries have the responsibility for the defense of the citizens which is Swat's case , the Islamabad has proved quite well . Those times of rebellion and taking over territories are long gone , technological advancement and the economical progression is the way forward . Otherwise everybody knows why the Afghans lost in the Third war with the British .
My memory is not weak, you location was U.S, now you have changed it....
Any how you didnt tell me the role of woman in islam........why?....do you know only islam bashing? like westerns do.....tell me are you even practicing muslim?......Why allah "imposed" hijab muslim on women? are you defying orders of hazrat mohammad p.b.u.h and allah?
No , your memory isn't weak , you are just a pathological liar . Otherwise , find me a single person who would have seen the flag of United States in my profile . You proudly use the Afghanistan one .
Learn about it yourself and then compare it with the general overview I gave you and the condition of women rights in the belt . I simply claimed that people do not even follow Islam whilst they shamelessly bring religion and pose themselves as " the purest Muslims " . Simple . I said something about the women in developed Muslim countries doing Hijab and still taking a more greater role in the progression of society , learn to read posts without trying to manipulate debates through religions .
If they done so back then during the time of independence and worked with the state , trust me they would have been in a lot better condition . I have nothing against them but to see a part of my country look almost like stone-age saddens me .
