Strange day really. I've been feeling lethargic and weak all day. I dont know why that is. All that was aggravated with the discussion on religious people i had to hear most of the day. People here are learned, not enlightened. Literate, not educated. I think everyone has the right to their own opinions, but sometimes things get out of hand. Opinions are meant to remain opinions and not accusations. All day today, the new pathan internee and ustad nawaz kept bullshitting madrassas, and alims of everyone who had something to do with tableegh or jihad. Fine they might not believe what the people are doing is correct, but dissing and making hideous accusations without knowing the realities is kind of what pains me, and what pained me all day. There's a way of criticizing. And people who're in politics open themselves to it all, but why bring totally religious leaders into it? I didn't even want to argue, because once i tried to, but they failed to try to understand. I'm not saying they're wrong because they've views different to mine, but on logical, humanitarian, patriotic and ethical grounds, they were going the wrong way. An example:
mechanic: "baray uchhal rahay thay ye log. Musharaf sahab nay danda dia to chup kr gaey"
pathan internee: "hahaha"
its ironic, the operation being carried out in peshawar is not far away from that internees home. And still, he's laughing it off. I wonder how the crimson of blood fails to paint their hearts in the realisation that we are cutting off our own arms, killing our own people to please others. Its not even our own decision, then why are we looking for excuses for it, i fail to comprehend. I dont want to. For this, and a million other reasons, i wish people here a little more enlightened, even if they'd be a little lesser learned, technically or anything. i wish they were a little more sensitive. There's so much more that hurts.

i was reading about a report on the taliban groups, the mangal bagh and namdar groups. the reporter mentioned that the military and the militant have a kind of a pact with each other. sometimes they even guide the army and provide 'their' militants security to them to enter their area...obviosuly there are other groups carrying out jihad but theres more gray in the matter than simply black and white.
Yeah but still, why paint everyone in the same colour. And i'm not talking about taliban, i dont even think osama bin laden is for real lol...you know, nothing justifies allowing foreigners to bomb you, and worse even do that yourself! Wat i was really bothered with was how can the people justify that? And be happy about it. Same goes for the lal masjid issue. We dont know the reality, but if we take the government's stance, still isn't there anything called human rights? Criminal laws? Who goes on to kill women and children, no matter how evil their husbands and fathers are you dont, you NEVER kill them. And still, it was done and digested like nothing ever happened. And that too inside a holy place. There are so many aspects to this, that it cannot be justified. And on top of that there's this stupid propaganda that i'm talking about. People pick up fake illiterate people, call them alims, and ask them for their interpretation for Islam. I've never ever met a learned proper alim who said that religion can be enforced upon people. There's no scholar who says killing of even one innocent person whose army has bombed our areas is allowed. Then why the propaganda?
