Pakistan's Islamic parties push for Taliban recognition in Afghanistan
|
[DW] As the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
lobby for international recognition of their "Islamic Emirate" in Afghanistan, the group's ideological allies in Pakistain are applying political pressure on Islamabad.
Powerful Islamist factions in Pak politics are putting pressure on the government to officially recognize the Taliban government in Afghanistan.

Fazlur Rehman
...Deobandi holy man, known as Mullah Diesel during the war against the Soviets, his sympathies for the Taliban have never been tempered by honesty...
, head of the Islamic political party Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam
...the political wing of the Pak Taliban...
(JUI), recently demanded that Islamabad officially recognize the theocratic Taliban government in Afghanistan.
Rehman is one of Pakistain's most powerful holy mans, and also heads the country's largest alliance of opposition parties, the Pakistain Democratic Movement. He has a massive following in Pakistain and wields considerable influence in the country's religious and political circles.
Out of 36,000 Pak Islamic religious seminaries, over 18,000 belong to the strict Deobandi school of thought, which emphasizes adherence to Islamic law. The Afghan Taliban, and Rehman, both follow Deobandi ideology, and Taliban officials and foot soldiers alike have studied in these seminaries, some of which are said to be under the control of JUI affiliates.
Although the Taliban have been courting governments around the world for international recognition of its "Islamic Emirate" in Afghanistan, no country officially recognizes their rule.
ISLAMIC GROUPS SAY AFGHAN TALIBAN IS 'LEGITIMATE'
Islamic hardliners in Pakistain say they support the Taliban's application of Shariah law in running Afghanistan.
The JUI believes that recognition of the Taliban is in Pakistain's national interest.
Jalal Uddin, an aide to Rehman, told DW that the Taliban is a "Pakistain friendly" government, and that recognition from Islamabad will further strengthen ties between the two Moslem-majority countries.
Even if many critical in voices in Pakistain believe that the Taliban have come into power through force, and consider their government illegitimate, religious groups in Pakistain are pushing back. The right-wing religious groups say liberal Paks have launched a campaign against the Afghan Taliban.
Hafiz Ihtesham from the Martyrs Foundation, an Islamist organization affiliated with Islamabad’s Red Mosque, claimed that the 2001 US-NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants...
invasion deposed the Taliban as legitimate rulers of Afghanistan and that now their rule has been "restored."
"We think Pakistain is a sovereign and independent country and it should ignore western pressure and recognize this government," he told DW.
Ihtesham added his organization was considering approaching the government with a request to recognize the Taliban.
Maulana Abdul Akbar Chitrali, a leader of the Islamic political party Jamaat-e-Islami
...The Islamic Society , founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer . The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores...
, says his party chief is demanding that Islamabad recognize Taliban rule in Afghanistan.
"We will also make this demand in parliament," he told DW, adding that the party is also launching mobilization for this purpose.
WILL PAKISTAIN RECOGNIZE THE TALIBAN?
In 1996, when the Taliban first took over Afghanistan, Pakistain was the first country in the world to recognize their government. The Taliban ruled the country with an iron first, handing down inhuman punishments and putting severe restrictions on women.
The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia
 ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century...
also recognized the Taliban's first Afghan government.
This time around, experts believe Pakistain cannot afford to infuriate the West by recognizing the Islamists.
Islamabad is dealing with a faltering economy, dependent on international monetary institutions for help, and is over $100 billion (€86.4 billion) in debt.
Husain Haqqani, South and Central Asia director at Hudson Institute, a think tank in Washington, said that Pakistain will likely see how other countries respond before making a decision. He told DW Islamabad would be isolated, as it was in the 1990s, if it rushes into recognizing the Taliban while the rest of the world condemns their rule.
Haqqani added that Islamabad should ignore the pressure coming from right-wing religious parties.
However,
a woman is only as old as she admits...
a Pak politician with the ruling party Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem , each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
(PTI) rejected the notion it has not recognized the Afghan Taliban because of US pressure. Muhammad Bashir Khan said that many Paks and PTI members support recognizing the Taliban.
"We have very cordial ties with the Kabul government and want to recognize them in consultation with China, Russia and other regional states," he said.
