Paranoia & Amnesia

10Dec09

The suicide bombings are increasing….. Innocent people are killing…. But where is the conscious of Pakistanis… No serious condemnation of this cruelty….no voice from religious class…. No protest of “Civil Society”…

On the contrary, people are adamant that war has been imposed on us and keep repeating the songs of  Taliban & Al-Qaeda ‘s revolution and the most famous politicians suggest if US is ready to talk them then why we not. In clear words, we should make terrorists sit in the laps -may be in the most luxurious rooms of Cancer Hospital.

The representatives of 19th century Islamic version and their associates (whose founding fathers had seen flowery dreams of unrealistic Pan-islamic state) have ruined the peace of the world and subsequently taken our religion at the level where Europeans started their counter strategies through diffident democratic instruments.

Any how we are suffering from Cancer, which is even supposed incurable in the western world; so where we stand. In context of on going terror wave where innocent people are being killed in Rawalpindi, Lahore & Multan, the most prominent diseases have come into my notice are paranoia and amnesia which can be seen easily in every third person.

Paranoia is a psychological disorder in which thought process heavily influenced by anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion. Paranoid thinking typically includes persecutory beliefs concerning a perceived threat towards oneself. The individual thinks that the persecutor has the intention to cause harm. Now map this disorder at our national, political, religious and social structure, one is always found to blame others and never ready for introspection/self evaluation of wrong doings.

After every terrorist attack, the trendiest reply by people, even educated class that India/US/Israel are behind these attacks. India has become a serious mental pain for our Pakistanis. We see India in every matter i.e. to send our religious and national wraths or to find out the Pakistani solution for every ethnical, sectarian and political violence. To strengthen this disorder, US and Israel are new allies after cold war; significantly.

From 2 or 3 years, our intelligence agencies are efficiently busy in tracing the proofs of India involvement, but could not able to catch any concrete clues or materials that could be presented in front of international community. On emotional or self delusion level, India and USA are completely involved in suicide bombings and political instability but on argument level – unfortunately, very insufficient material is available to establish an opinion against them. Very well said by Hasan Nisar on Kamran Khan Show that “we Pakistanis only know one war that should be against India” we are not ready to accept the current challenge that is even more nasty and fearful war engulfing silently us. At every important stage in our short country history, we showed paranoid attributes. During Saqoot-e-Dhaka, we remained silent upon what we had done with Bengalis but raised our fingers on external factors. Even in replace of cruel mass killings of Bengalis and undemocratic defying their political and ethnical rights, we used religion with the support Karachi based political cum religious leadership’s products like “Albadr” and “Alshams”.

Unfortunately, same traits are being repeated and we only want to see India behind these bombings. I give wrath on India that why you are on the world map, due to you, we are unable to identify our enemies.

The second disease is an amnesia (Short Term Memory Loss) in which we forget most recent statements/events/talks that are considered very important. We do remember Fatwas regarding who is recent Kafir , what is new Haram or Halal but easily forget the messages that are issued from so called religious militants (Al-Qaeda) in which they clearly intimidate whoever is the ally of Kuffar (US & Association) is a Kafir and entitled to be killed. Similarly, Tehrek-e-Taliban Pakistan has announced several times that they will continue their attacks over American allies. If these militants are sincere with Muslim Umma, they immediately come out on the ground right after the Rawalpindi and Lahore attacks and provide proofs that we are not behind these heinous attacks, show condolences to innocent victims, attend their “Namaz-e-Janaza”, put down their arms and announce publically that due to their militant strategy, our own people are being killed. But on contrary, we do not find any hints of these compromising or progressive steps.

After every attack, no serious condemnation is issued from religious class instead; they give more focus to provide reasons to these attacks. Their condemnations may easily be called “Hypocrite Statements”. Further, they change the direction that external forces are actual responsible.

This war is very unique. The real enemy is the mindset of majority of Pakistanis. In order to undo this, we need an extensive strategy that should be comprised of argument basis interpretations of Islam and the teaching of patience, tolerance, religious harmony, love, sympathy and attitude reformation etc. If these are targeted, then change would start Inshallah.
