That is plain BS ; Using Islam as a tool of waging war was done long before US or even Zia came into the picture ; It was Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who started the whole chain of events when Daoud supported by Babrak Karmal overthrew the government in 1973 backed by Moscow. Seeing the Communists in power in Afghanistan, a wave of indigenous uprisings occurred in Balochistan which Bhutto quelled by the force of his Army. Now read thisand who was osama? wasnt he supported by america, look bro, US is not facing fraction what pakistan is facing today, and pakistan merely played in US hands of supporting jihadis from saudiarabia to fight against evil soviets(army of unbeliever atheist infidel devil according to US)
i still believe me made a mistake and making it again and again
it was US and not pakistan who incited islamic belief on muslims just to achieve its sole super power status and muslims helped US?
Predicting the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan: The Intelligence Community's Record.To retaliate against Afghanistan's actions, Pakistan provided funds, material and weapons to Islamic fundamentalist organizations and other anti-Daoud Afghan extremists conducting raids and sabotage inside Afghanistan. A former member of Pakistan's government at the time has insisted that these operations were not intended to overthrow Daoud but to force him to negotiate.16 This could explain why Iran, at the same time it was offering economic aid to Daoud and pressing him to resolve the conflict with Pakistan, was also supplying US weapons and equipment to the insurgent groups in Afghanistan. Some of this material went through Pakistani channels and some passed directly to groups operating in western Afghanistan. Iran, because of its own sizable Baluch community, had its own motives for seeing the armed revolt in Baluchistan quelled, and provided Pakistan with US helicopters for use in this effort. According to at least one source, these actions by Iran were carried out in "loose collaboration" with the US. Egypt and Saudi Arabia also were providing support to Afghan Islamic fundamentalist groups,17 some of which would have a lasting presence on the Afghan battleground.
Thus the seeds of using jehadist groups for fighting the Communist regime were sowed even before the Americans came. All Zia and Amrikkka did were to further strengthen them, in which Saudis matched them dollar for dollar.
The bottomline is, Pakistani state under ZAB had been using Islamic fundamentalism in Afghanistan, due to the Communist fallout in Balochistan, long before the Americans came. Thus, the lion's share of having Islamic fundamentalism goes to the Pakistani state.
