Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Pakistan: Taliban demand Sharia, release of all jailed jihadis, breaking of all ties with U.S.

That part about breaking all relations with the U.S. sounds great. Let the Pakistanis finance their own jihad. Note again that they want Sharia, despite being universally portrayed in the West as opportunistic hijackers of Islam who use Islamic language to mask their true secular agenda. The Taliban also want an end to all drone attacks — in other words, they want the last remaining counter-terror efforts ended, and al Qaeda allowed to operate unhindered.

“Taliban want Islamic system of governance in Pak: Reports,” from PTI, February 9:

ISLAMABAD: An Islamic system of governance, introduction of Shariah law and release of jailed militants are part of a 15-point agenda finalized by the Taliban for peace talks with the Pakistan government, according to media reports on Sunday.

The Taliban ‘Shura’ or council, which has been meeting in the restive northwest since yesterday under its deputy chief Sheikh Khalid Haqqani, also demanded the withdrawal of the army from tribal areas, said a report on the website of the Dawn daily.

Jamaat-e-Islami leader Ibrahim Khan and Jamiat Ulema-e- Islam-S leader Yousuf Shah, members of the Taliban-nominated committee, are in Waziristan for a meeting with the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan. They are likely to convey the Taliban’s demands to state negotiators, the report said.

The Taliban’s 15-point agenda was also reported by Dunya News channel. However, Geo News reported that the Taliban’s demands included release of militants, withdrawal of the army from insurgency-hit areas and compensation to people affected by violence.

The reports about the 15-point agenda could not be independently confirmed.

According to the report on Dawn’s website, the agenda includes introduction of Shariah law in courts, halting US drone attacks and introduction of an Islamic system of education in public and private institutions.

Other demands include release of Pakistani Taliban and foreign fighters from jail, restoration and compensation for property damaged in drone attacks, handing over control of tribal areas to local forces, withdrawal of the army from tribal areas and shutting down of check posts.

The report said the agenda also states all criminal allegations against the Taliban should be dropped and prisoners from both sides released.

“Equal rights for all, poor and rich, families of drone attack victims to be offered jobs, end interest-based system, stop supporting the US in the war on terror, replace the democratic system of governance with the Islamic system and stop all relations with the US,” the report quoted the agenda as saying.

    ” stop all relations with the US”

    This is the most sensible sentence I read from a Pakistani. Why didn’t our administration think of that? Thank you Talibanans – you got that 100% right.
    I guess the next step is a Nuclear war with your neighbor on the Easten front. You have Nuks they have Nuks. They are just another sort of bombs – just drop one and thats it. It will make a hell of noise to scare the cr.. out of any living soul.

    On a serious note – we didn’t do our job right because these guys are starting at square one after all that effort and billions spent on building this and that.

    At least the Taliban are honest if not anything else. Which is more than can be said for the pathetic mediocrities governing western nations.

    Solid policies for a better Pakistan. At least there will be no pretending they are not an enemy state anymore. Actually, no – there will still be pretending they are not an enemy state.

    Pakistan: Taliban demand Sharia, release of all jailed jihadis, breaking of all ties with U.S.
    ……………………………….

    Pakistan is *already* a Shari’ah state that oppresses Infidels, jails women for fleeing abusive marriages, and has the death penalty for insulting the “Prophet”—but pious Muslims can *never* have enough Shari’ah.

    And about the only Jihadists they actually imprison are those that are directly trying to overthrow the government—apart from that, they mostly turn a blind eye.

    And their “ties” with the United States and the rest of the West mostly entails sopping up millions in foreign aid—they are no actual ally of ours.

    Still, the most pious Muslims won’t be happy until Pakistan is as hopeless as Somalia and Yemen—actually, they don’t have all that far to go…

    More:

    …replace the democratic system of governance with the Islamic system…
    ……………………………….

    Pakistan is hardly a democracy now—but still too close for the most devout.

    Yet more proof—if any were needed—that Islam and democracy are not compatible.
