@nota:
Interesting poll! And very much in favor of an Islamic Govt in the future.
@MG;
Talibaan (afghan Mujahiddin) or TTP?
Hell not! I am saying this from personal experience and the interaction with other Pushtuns (The pre-dominant factor engaged as Talibaan in both fractions) TTP is considered as RAW-Karzai stooges also funded by Israel. They have hired young kids from the villages and give them regular salary along with AK-47. Previously these young kids (15 to 35 yrs mainly) were jobless, not enough finances to go for education and were subdued by the "KHANS" and "MALIKS" of the area. These TTP exploited this oppurtunity and these kids now stand infront of this well off group. TTP also depends on local financing. If I am incharge of a certain region, I will recruit small groups and then will target families who are well off. If I abduct one kid of these well off families, I can expect 2.5 to 5 Carore (25000000 to 50000000 RS) as ransom money which is good enough to deotanate 2 BIg explosions.
TTP are using innocent people in the name of ISLAM and exploiting Pashtuns (as they are the most religious ethnic group of pakistan) because of low literacy levels in khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa, it is always easy that a guy with beard can start his version of Islam and people will follow. As long as that guy with beard prays 5 times a day and reads Quran and can quote quran with his own version of translation, people will hurdle around him and follow him.
I wish that there is a hard core Islamic govt but not TTP as I have no faith in them. I am sure that there may be good muslims in TTP as well but until they have been scrutinized their role will be always suspicvious. When I talk to people about TTP, most of them start with a swear word for them which speaks for their character. As one fellow said, "We pashtuns are the most religious ethnic group in pakistan. When they (Saudia,Gen.Zia,Pak Army,Pak Media) said that there is JIHAD in afghanistan, we were the first one to lead JIHAD, we were the first one to give shelter to our brothers from afghanistan) we pray and fast even if a pushtun is digging a road in june, july, you can be sure that he is fasting. They do the toughest jobs with minimal pay. We fight for islam, Pakistan!!!! Now if a bunch of idiots (TTP) comes to us with AK 47 and tells us their version of islam, carry out bomb blasts in K-P (mainly) thenN we don't want them and we will fight them in every street even if pakistan become afghanistan.
Ladies & Gentleman;
Look at the broader picture... In afghanistan, there has not been a thing called "PEACE" in last 30 yrs despite the fact that there is a pre dominant support for afghan talib there. Wat will happen if these TTP stooges takes over and then ppl like me who will fight them in every corner as I personally don't trust them as "Loyal people to Islam or Pakistan"
Time will tell us .....
