The Islamists have destroyed any semblance of modernity in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
In destroying all means or financial gain in the name of Islam they have made poverty and ignorance an institution in these countries.
The schools they sponsor teach only one useful skill; reading. However they even pervert this one skill permitting only religious text for reading material.
It is amazing that so many of the secular humanist in this country have made themselves the allies of the Islamist by opposing the military action in these countries when actions of these Islamist are so inhumane.
I never had paid attention to the name “Fazlullah”, but it now seems irrevocably linked to “criminally insane fanatic”.
At first, I thought he’s the type of leader to allow in power of one’s enemies, until they have been maneuvered into complete annihilation. An outstanding leader for the nonredeemable. But upon further reflection, I wouldn’t wish that type of thinking upon my adversaries, nor does it seem to be good for anything.
Such behavior manifests something prolific about the human condition. Whatever religious beliefs held by Fazlullah, they must lead in their prolonged association to incredibly sick behavior. Completely void of justice, but arrogantly absorbed in judgment and accusatory condemnation of their opposition, such thinking lacks righteousness.
