Sorry to say: But still confuse about their enemy

I think it has taken time but now is getting much better, one sees more and more realization even on this forum as the days go by.

Getting a realistic perspective is not something done overnight.
Things take time and a lot of effort, especially the complex situation we have been in since last many decades due to many clashing ideologies being used as political tools and means to an end.

Certainly the confusion created was due to our geopolitical issues spread over decades and terrorists used it to their advantage.

This time taking for awareness cost us 30,000 lives, do we need more lives to aware about our REAL enemy??

The real enemy is the ill-planed Pentagon policies for their interests and we being at a critical strategic location have to bear the burnt of US games.

Zia sowed the seeds of a conservative religious ideology, he did not sow the seeds of terrorism.

No one knew then what would happen later. His actions were well intentioned from his view point, and the situation we find ourselves in now did not occur in isolation of events that Zia had no control over.

We have to realize that everything that happens to us is not a Zionist conspiracy, The Taliban are an entity, we should know, we supported them....................they are our enemy now.............where is the confusion ?
If we hadn't started this war after 9/11, it would have started later anyway, because these people wanted to establish a state within a state and that is simply unacceptable................By the Grace of God and the Sacrifice of our people...............we have almost eradicated these daemons and removed them from our lands..............God give us strength to finish this "fitna".......................Ameen

O mighty ALLAH bless ur mother land........we beg of Your forgiveness and mercy.
AMEEN.
