Young Martyrs of Pakistan- Is our government too helpless?

I write today this thought of mine with a heavy heart in memory of the 17 children who were martyred today in the house of God.

Casualties of war or Collateral damage . We hear these terms more often . Yes! in open conflicts this is quiet common . But the amazing part is that in a Muslim country , Muslims while praying are killed by Muslims in the name of a so called War for Islam of Talibans.

Today , when this news broke to me . Initially I had no idea that children were victims of the carnage too . Not that they were passer by's. Standing at the wrong place at the wrong time . But whilst they were praying to Almighty Allah. They become prey to terrorism.

Some people today still believe in conspiracy theories that XYZ is involved in this. Some neighbour is involved in this or some intelligence agencies are behind this madness. I have only one question from the Government of Pakistan.

Why it is that not a single of these terrorists have been prosecuted publicly and punsihed by death publicly?

When people know that there is no punishment and that there is a chance that the next government would waive off their crimes under the guise of some ordinance. How would they fear the law ? How would they fear the writ of the state? with no accountability . My country men , its soldiers, its women and its children would keep on laying down their lives without an end.

Shame on those politicians who support these extremists and are hiding under the notion of sickness and some other reasons. I am sure that if there is a barometer of a psychological warfare than the terrorists would definitely have an edge. Sitting in board rooms and giving statements would not help.

Punish those who do this . Punish those who support them. Punish those who give material or any logistics . Do not give them life sentences. Pass a leglslation that any one found involved in the same by any form is going to be punished by death.

We should awake out of our silo's and the myths of conspiracy theories . This war could only be won by sheer strength . If no actions taken than the moral of our forces and our people would keep on going down. Either there would be no one be ready to fight for the right side or there would be no one left standing.

These terrorists are reality . What happened in the past is past? Nothing could be changed. Move forward for God's sake. Support our Army. Brigadiers & Colonels should be the last people to be hit by these small teams of hit men. I understand that there is no easy way of stopping these attacks . But the retaliation should be swift. The message clear.

Trust me these terrorists are not God's Soldiers. They are not for Islam. This war they wage on us is not Jihad. They are Murderers , Murderers & only Murderers.

Let them be any Mullah anywhere on either side of the Durand Line. Islam would not spread by violence but only could happen by reason. Unfortunately, most of them could not do that as they are living in ancient times today. I am sure those who are fighting this battle cannot go beyong some holistics view about Islam and are unfortunately miles away from the bigger picture of our religion.

The question is . Are they KHARJITES?

Anyways , unite and pray for all those killed in these terrorist attacks till now. Not only in Pakistan but anywhere in the world. Especially for those children who laid their lives while praying to God. I am sure god would listen to the prayers of their loved ones. I am sure the reddining of the mud of my mother land with their blood would not go in vain. But would add fuel to fire in our war towards victory. Inshallah!

Pakistan Zindabad!!!!
