| We'll have Shariah in all of Pak: Muslim Khan |
| 2009-04-15 |
| They won't stop until every square-inch of Pakistan bows to Shariah law. And they have all available means to achieve it. The alarming intentions of the Taliban in Pakistan are no longer ambiguous. This is no longer about a chaotic Islamist outfit spilling over from Afghanistan and looking for cover. This is about taking over an entire nation. In his first exclusive interview to an Indian television network, Tehreek-e-Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan spoke to Headlines Today in Pakistan's Swat. He opened by declaring in no uncertain terms that the Taliban intended to annex Pakistan in its entirety, and convert it into a "true Islamic state". Referring to the hundreds of Pakistanis who have died in the area and the atrocities that continue, Khan said, "That is their fate. It is our duty to show the world what Islam really is. It is Allah's will that Pakistan be under Shariah in its true form. We have promised Allah that we will not rest until all of Pakistan is under Shariah." When asked what the Tehreek-e-Taliban would do if it faced opposition from the Pakistani forces, he didn't lose a moment to declare that his outfit would use all means and all force available to overcome any opposition to their cause. He made it clear that the Taliban-controlled Swat, Malakand and more recently the Buner District of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province, will be used as templates that the marauding Taliban will replicate in every piece of territory they take over. The recent authentication of the Swat peace deal through Pakistan's Parliament has reportedly emboldened the group into looking towards more territory - including South East into Pakistani Punjab. With unconfirmed reports of Taliban infiltrations into the Valley still doing the rounds, the Taliban spokesman had a warning that speaks for itself: "What the Pakistan security forces could not achieve in Kashmir, the jihadis and the mujahideen will." Khan went on to critise the "Hindu government" of J&K. "The Hindu government in Kashmir is committing atrocities on Muslims. Security forces have been incapable of doing anything on that front. It can be achieved only by the way of Jihad. The security forces have been unable to liberate Kashmir in the last 60 years because they don't fight on the basis on religion," he said. Then, disturbingly, "Jihad does not stop in Pakistan. It does not stop for anything or anyone." |
