Dear Amir,
One must have the ability to understand the difference between Jahad and wild militant activity. We cannot in fact support the wild militants whilst Jehad is a duty of muslims. I don't care to define the roots, in particular, of those who cannot differentiate it.
It had always been a poor eyesight of the muslim leaders that they typically fail to find out MEERS among their own-selves. A short sighted leader has to face its consequences. Like-wise his nation also does the same. This has to be the ground reality irrespective of however good character and faith such leader or nation do possess. A major part of the planning made by such historical leaders proved to be futile, if we analyze the history, and this shows the short sightedness and nothing else. I personally guess it a big fault of such leaders/nation instead of continuingly imposing allegations on such MEERS. MEERS are MEERS and this should have been focused, assessed and fixed beforehand. If some leaders had been facing such Meers this does not show innocence, strength, bravery or merit of such leaders. Of course it is a different way to think and analyze the situations and you may not understand my version.
Most probably, the Hadees which you quoted above regarding something wrong in ISLAMIC SOCIETY was not restricted to ISLAMIC SOCIETY only. It was a generalized guideline. You need to think on it to find out what was desired. In fact the thing which was desired cannot be achieved without having a powerful economic, social, educational, financial and technical base. We have to see all the guidelines altogether and any isolated analysis will lead to wrong conclusions. The guidelines such as to always keeping the HORSES AND AMUNITION ready for Jehad and going to (even) CHINA for getting education and technology are the other aspects which cannot be ignored if we really want to implement what was in fact desired. By the way, USA and other advanced ones are indirectly following such guidelines for their own purposes which are of course only for their own security, empowerment and benefit and has inverse affect on muslims. They are stopping us by hand for whatever they feel odd and also to find out their benefits. Now to feel what is wrong and what is right is really different for each mindset and nation. So, I feel that whoever will follow the whole set of guidelines given to muslims will achieve the targets which were basically desired for muslims. This is just like a scientific formula. If we cannot understand it, its our fault.
Declaring anyone as non-muslim or kaafir (without Ijamah-e-Ummat) is our dilemma. When you will call some one as kaafir (as you said about those who are in govt), he will in return call you Kaafir. Then who would be the muslim? Every muslim would be naoozbillah kaafir for the other muslim. This is what actually happening this moment leading every one to pick the ammunition against the other. Hadees guides that don't abuse the untrue gods of kuffaar becoz in return they will abuse your true God. I don't understand to which destination this mullah mindset is directly the muslim nation.
I can understand that people like you can easily believe that Gen Abbasi was capable of doing what he was planning to do. Allama Muhammad Iqbal, the poet of the east, was a great scholar and researcher. He gave so many unique ideas to muslim nation of the east. In such capacity he is our leader. Still, as a person, he was a common man and he carried the character of a common man. If you doubt, you should learn about his life. I know so many of us believe him a Waliallah which he was not probably. It is not necessary that whatever he has said would be correct.
I agree that MOMAN CAN FIGHT WITHOUT A SWORD but this would result in his shahaadat and success would probably be an un-accessed dream. We cannot quote example of Ghazva-e-Badar for proving to the contrary, that was a special event where Prophet PBUH was personally participating the Jehad and even then the ratio of 313 against 1000 was not too much imbalanced. Further, it was an era of swords, sticks and arrows while now we have to face chemical weapons apart from atomic and traditional weapons. For dreaming the success, we should make ourselves up to it. I think there is no point in debating on it further. History is full of the incidents where âBEY TAIGH SIPAAHIâ was killed and history never uttered his name even as a MOMAN. Being moman and non-moman remains another issue which finds its linkage with the paragraph 4 of this post of mine. I donât discuss it here.
Talibaans used to bring some peace in the initial days and they also used to harmonize the systems to some extent. However their external and internal policies could not be proved to be wise, understandable, gently human and coping with the pace of the advanced world. PRACS has once analyzed it in detail and his analysis could be seen in some thread on this forum. Some of the good things cannot compensate for the majority of the wrong actions. I endorse whatever conclusions were drawn by PRACS in his analysis.
Thanks for sparing time to read my lengthy posts.

KAMRAN.
