Now I am not from ANP nor am I from KP for that matter but as far as I know ANP is ideologically againsat Taliban and are liberal marxist kind of people who are opposed to religious parties so to label them as supporters of Taliban sounds absurd. A lot of ANP leadrs in KP have been killed by Taliban in the past few years and many had to flee for fear of their lives so how they end up being supporters of Taliban is very hard to understand.
Secondly the language being used by "Sir" Faisal whatever is EXACTLY the same that George Bush used to drum up support for his wars. He used to say all Muslims are not terrorists but a lot of terrorists are from Muslim countries ergo we should go and bomb the crap out of Iraq and Afghanistan and hopefully after killing hundreds of thousands we will have a high probability of having killed many terrorists to.
So similarly if The Pakhtun and Southern Punjabi localities are targeted and brutalized, you will eventually end up finding a couple of terrorists and we dont really have to worry about innocent causalities. We can just label them 'collateral damage' like the US does.
Who needs the Americans to kill innocents when the "sirs" of our own country speak the same language.
Look brother, as an old saying goes, "when in Rome, do as the Romans do'". You have to be armed to the teeth with latest weapons available in this godforsaken city If you don't want to get wiped out at the hands of MQM goons. During Musharraf era, MQM enjoyed the full protection of the military dictator. Every political opponent was eliminated immediately and the goons of
Quaid-e-Fasaad were ruling the streets of Karachi. Now the situation has changed, no protection from the dictator is available anymore and other goons also have weapons and don't hesitate to use them when needed. If ANP were the main culprit, they would be using the same tactic in other parts of Pakistan but it is clear that they don't do gun politics, but in Karachi they have been forced to use guns in order to pursue their political interests. I've already said umpteen times here that some steps have to be taken immediately to save Karachi from a complete destruction, such as;
1. The total de-weaponization of Karachi
2. kick out all the illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, India, Afghanistan and from other countires whose numbers are in millions
3. One particular ethnc group cannot not be allowed to rule this city, the equal representation of other ethnic groups in the city government should be made possible
4. Further migration to Karach from other parts of Pakistan should be made difficult, if it cannot be stopped completely.
You are right when you say that ethnic profiling is unacceptable, its a dangerous game that the slaves have adopted from their masters in Washington. Kashif was right when he time and again hinted at racial profiling, but the numbslkull politician of MQM, whose only job is to incite ethnic hatred, didn't get this simple thing in his head.
