  • Religious Extremism and Sectarianism in Pakistan: JRSP, Vol
    Religious Extremism and Sectarianism in Pakistan: JRSP, Vol. 58, No 2 (April-June 2021) Samina Yasmeen1 Fozia Umar2 Religious Extremism and Sectarianism in Pakistan: An Appraisal Abstract Pakistan, which was created on the basis of religion have had to face sectarian violence and religious intolerance from the very beginning. This article offers an in-depth analysis of sectarianism and religious intolerance and their direct role in the current chaotic state of Pakistan. This article revolves around the two main research questions including the role of religion in the state of Pakistan as well as the evidences depicting sectarian violence in Pakistan. The main objective is to analyze the future situation of the rampant sectarian condition in the society and to study the role of Pakistan’s government so far. Qualitative methodology using primary as well as secondary sources are used to gather the data. Post-dictatorship era, after 2007, is being analyzed in this article, keeping in view the history of sectarian violence, future and stability of the state. Last comments lead to the recommendations and ways to tackle the sectarian divide and religious extremism. The researchers conclude that religion is core at the Pakistan’s nationalism however, religious extremism weakens national and social cohesion and also divides loyalties. There is a need for strict blasphemy laws, banning hate speeches which incites the violence and most importantly, eradicating poverty and unemployment, so no foreign elements can bribe anyone for sectarian terror within the state. Introduction Pakistan was a country that was created on the basis of religion, its main goal was to provide a homeland for Muslims where they will live in freedom and harmony and it was established that it will be governed according to the principles set by Islam.

  • THE TALIBAN and GIRLS´ EDUCATION in PAKISTAN and AFGHANISTAN – with a Case Study of the Situation in the Swat District
    Lund University Department of Sociology THE TALIBAN AND GIRLS´ EDUCATION IN PAKISTAN AND AFGHANISTAN – with a case study of the situation in the Swat District SIMV07 Author: Shakil Ahmad Master Thesis: 15hp Spring Term 2012 Tutor: Staffan Lindberg 1 ABSTRACT Author: Shakil Ahmad Title: The Taliban and Girl´s Education in Pakistan and Afghanistan- with a case study of the situation in the Swat District Course: SIMV07 Master Thesis: 15hp Tutor: Staffan Lindberg Department of Sociology The Taliban movement has been a problem for the government and security forces in Pakistan as well as for the Afghan government and NATO forces in Afghanistan. This is only one side of the picture as on the other hand it has affected common peoples to a great extent. It has deeply affected the education system in both countries. Education is a prerequisite for development. It makes the horizon of vision wider, helps to increase the role of women in family decision, including in matters of fertility, child birth, their upbringing and socialization. Unfortunately the Taliban movement has affected the education system all over Afghanistan and in some areas in Pakistan. This thesis includes a case study of district Swat in Pakistan, which has been under the Taliban control for more than two years. The Taliban destroyed and damaged both girls´ and boys´ schools in the area. Although the Taliban did not openly oppose boys´ education, still they damaged it along with girls’ education. The aim of this thesis is to find out the ideology of the Taliban about education with a special focus on girls´ education.

  • Politics and Pirs: the Nature of Sufi Political Engagement in 20Th and 21St Century Pakistan
    Ethan Epping Politics and Pirs: The Nature of Sufi Political Engagement in 20th and 21st Century Pakistan By Ethan Epping On November 27th, 2010 a massive convoy set off from Islamabad. Tens of thousands of Muslims rode cars, buses, bicycles, and even walked the 300 kilometer journey to the city of Lahore. The purpose of this march was to draw attention to the recent rash of terrorism in the country, specifically the violent attacks on Sufi shrines throughout Pakistan. In particular, they sought to demonstrate to the government that the current lack of action was unacceptable. “Our caravans will reach Lahore,” declared one prominent organizer, “and when they do the government will see how powerful we are.”1 The Long March to Save Pakistan, as it has come to be known, was an initiative of the recently founded Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), a growing coalition of Barelvi Muslims. The Barelvi movement is the largest Islamic sect within Pakistan, one that has been heavily influenced by Sufism throughout its history. It is Barelvis whose shrines and other religious institutions have come under assault as of late, both rhetorically and violently. As one might expect, they have taken a tough stance against such attacks: “These anti-state and anti-social elements brought a bad name to Islam and Pakistan,” declared Fazal Karim, the SIC chairman, “we will not remain silent and [we will] defend the prestige of our country.”2 The Long March is but one example of a new wave of Barelvi political activism that has arisen since the early 2000s.

Disengaging a militant from violence and extremist tendencies is an uphill task because of his or her ideological and political association with a cause. A number of countries have developed de- radicalization programs to deal with the issue but the extent of their success remains debatable, notwithstanding the claims made by the states. Rehabilitation of detained militants becomes an integral part of any such program as part of the prevention strategy. The prison holds crucial significance in the de-radicalization strategy as many of these programs— including those in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the United Kingdom—run in prisons.

Comment: The items within the document are broken down by date from 04/23/09-12/23/08. A consistent trend throughout the compilation is that multiple documents show that the Taliban is trying to coerce its culture, rules, and law on Pakistan, in addition to an attempted re-establishment of power in Afghanistan. The compilation also shows that the Taliban power base in Pakistan (in addition to Taliban elements in Afghanistan) pose a clear security threat to U.S. military operating in the region and beyond. The following Taliban and affiliate names are mentioned, interviewed, and/or quoted in this document (some names have been highlighted throughout the document and some of the names may represent Kunyas and/or multiple variations of a name.) • Taliban and Possible Affiliated Names o Abu Abad commander o Allama Iqbal o Al-Mulawi Dastakir o Baitullah Mehsud o Dr. Israr Ahmed o Gul Bahadur o Hakimullah Mehsud o Inamur Rahman o Izzat Khan o Malik Mahmood o Maulana Faqir Mohammad o Maulana Khalil o Maulana Sufi Mohammad o Mohamad Rasul o Mulla Mohammad Omar o Molvi Iqbal o Mulla Nazeer Ahmad o Mullah Nazeer Ahmed o Muslim Khan o Omar Farooq o Qari Mohammad Yousuf o Sayd Mohammad o Shafirullah Khan o Shah Dauran o Sirajuddin Haqqani o Umer Khalid o Zabihullah Mujahid 1 For Official Use Only 304th MI Bn OSINT Team Table of Contents SAMPLE OF AFGHANISTAN & PAKISTAN TALIBAN QUOTES IN THE MEDIA ...............................................
