    Nauman, there is already a fatwa that suicide bombing is haram and If I remember,it’s available online but when leftist extremist don’t listen ulema then how could we blame to them. Also do remember that suicide bombing is not a muslim invention, in childhood I used to hear news about tamil bombers. If I remember that Mr. Rajeev gandhi was also victim of suicide attacks.

    Most of bombers are those who are already victim of pain and violence. Unjust things in society lead one to go for such extreme. Now people who were killed during lal masjid operation, on wazristan borders,don’t you consider humans that they see lots of dead bodies of their loved ones and find themselves helpless because they don’t even know their enemies? and if they know, they feel themselves harmless. Those bombers are also human like us. If we can cry a lot on natural death of our loved ones then those guys are in more severe conditions. People keep whining that whatever is happening today is due to Zia, those people have no brain to realize that whatever is happening today is due to our *unconditional love* for USA which is making us intolerant like Iraqis or Afghanis. If you would kill father of some kid infront of him then he would definately take revenge. Those who just talking crap without using brain, I ask them to allow someone to kill your entire family then I would ask you the definition of terrorism,violence or suicide bombing.

    Such depressed people are then used cleverly by different gangs who then use those innocent bodies as tool to fulfill their task. Sometimes in the name of religion while sometimes in the name of revenge or money. Battles between different tribes of punjab and NWFP re the genuine examples which last in many generations.

    What Muslim world is facing today is due to troubles they have been facing around the world. Don’t forget that today’s advanced nations have also gone same phase in past. No one can forget christians,hindus and jewish extremism in past. Muslims are also human like other nations and races and it’s according to human nature that when you give them to pain, they do react after passage of time. Why muslims are being attacked, we all know it that it’s due to Islam,madrassahs are actually main target because only madrassahs are left which are trying their best to give Islamic teachings otherwise our private schools and varsities are producing nothing but waste products which are not being able to adjust themselves in society. Govt talk about making madrassah student compatible with society, i ask which society? where degree holders now stand on roads and beg like beggars or the society where people comitting more suicide due to lack of jobs and inflation?

    Followers of bible and Islam are well aware that in ending days, most of the battles will be fought in the name of Islam, for bible followers it’s Armageddon. How could I forget Bush’s speech after WTC attack in which he clearly said that crusade has begun? These silly liberals were always used by religion followers to attack on other religion followers. What’s happening today in pakistan is due to right wing neocons in DC who are backing left wing idiots in Pakistan to attack another religion followers which are their real threat. US says right, offcourse those madrassah people or others who are not willing to follow norms of liberals are real enemies of USA. America don’t even give a damn to liberals because right wing policy makers are well aware that liberals are harmless creature who don’t even feel to ashamed after getting deported like Shah of Iran after revolution or after humiliated installation of Karzai, Maliki in Afghanistan and IRaq respectively. So willingly or unwillingly,we have to deal with it,either by showing love to right wing in DC or start dialogue with right wing within Pakistan or Afghanistan,decision is upto govt.

    Agree with Jamhoor_khan. Only democracy with full freedom of expression is a long term solution.

    Baber,
    It is a good article. The army generals have become a cancer for our nation.

    First and foremost our country needs an independent judiciary. that along with a return to democracy is the way forward for Pakistan.

    Nauman,
    Fatwas will not do it. Do you think these people heed fatwas.

    The only way to counter extremism is with a full return to democracy.

    I agree with Kruman, lawyers are the true inheritors of Quaid, displaying unity, faith and discipline. The nation should rally behind them to oust the dictator and build a new Pakistan where the rule of law is supreme.

    Military dicatatorships are the root cause of extremism in the country.

    I agree with Nauman. Even if Musharaf go away this bombing will not stop. It is like chain reaction. Only our ullema can stop it.

    Zia and Musharraf – so similar yet so different By Shahab Jafry
    http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticleNew.asp? xfile=data/opinion/2007/July/opinion_July62.xml&se ction=opinion&col=
    In all fairness, Pakistan’s people are the poorer for having to choose between corrupt democratic politicians that the army is forced to eject and an army that has a habit of overextending its invite. Invariably, it sucks more blood than the mandated civilian leadership could even if it were allowed its full five-year tenure. Ironically, perhaps the greatest difference between generals Zia and Musharraf is that while the former’s power lust bolstered the army’s dominance-appetite and reinforced the view that presidency-occupation is good for the GHQ’s interests, the latter’s stint at the top may just have made the corps commanders realise that politics is a realm they might stay well clear of, if they want their reputation of being the country’s most dominant power brokers from biting the dust – forever.

    In my opinion all the Ullemas and Scholors should gather and declare a FUTWA that SUICIDE BOMBING is HARAM. Why it hasn’t been done so far, I do not know. Have we run out of good Scholors and Maulanas, I DO NOT think so. I would urge the regular authors of this website to write an article on this. I think Government should have done this a long time ago. Government could gather international scholors, Imam-e-Kaba etc to make it happen. We could set up a poll on this website regarding whether there should be FATWA on this or not. I am sure once FUTWA is declared Fundamentalists would be left with very few options. My brothers and sisters do you agree with me? I am very much worried about my country and Muslims. Thnkx for your time.
