The Taliban are not our people..

The Taliban are not our people..

Sunday, May 17, 2009 This is for Madam Shireen Mazari. If she had tried to visit Swat a month ago she would have been dealt accordingly by the Taliban. We common Pashtuns are sick of the Taliban and their sympathisers -- the Pakistan army must carry on forward and finish this menace of Talibanisation once and for all. The Taliban are not our people -- our people are those who these monsters behead. Our people are Hamza Baba, our people are Rehman Baba, our people are Pir Baba. And not those who blow their shrines with bombs. Our people are police constables and not those who tear apart their heads with drill machines. Our people are those female school teachers whom they killed accusing them of being prostitutes. Our people are Afzal Khan Lala and not Mullah Fazlullah or Sufi Mohammad or Baitullah Mehsud. And in the end our thinkers and writers are Farrukh Saleem, Ayaz Amir and Farhat Taj -- not Muzaffar Iqbal or Masooda Bano. I think Ms Mazari should publish her articles in journals like Zarb-e-momin.
