Hired killers
Nowadays, everything is available on rent. You can get a hired killer for a little money, and you can also get a hired killer. Last year, Lahore police arrested a hired killer named Usman, who used to receive Umrah tickets as compensation for killing. A Maulvi Sahib had told him that all sins are forgiven by performing Umrah. Maulvi Sahib showed him the way to forgiveness from Allah Almighty by killing him repeatedly, but he did not tell him that Allah Almighty has declared the killing of one person as the killing of all humanity and forgiveness for the killing of all humanity is not one Umrah – Hired killers are found in every country of the world who shed the blood of innocents for money, but hired killers are not found in every country of the world. Another name for hired killers is suicide bombers. These hired killers are found in a few specific countries, one of which is Pakistan. The general belief is that suicide bombers are prepared by showing dreams of the maidens of paradise. I do not agree with this idea. Not every suicide bomber is a seeker of the maidens of paradise. Many years ago, the recruitment of suicide bombers was done openly in our mosques and madrasas because at that time Pakistan, as a client state of the United States, used to train Mujahideen and send them to Afghanistan. When Russia was defeated in Afghanistan, it was declared a victory not only for Afghanistan but also for Pakistani institutions. I remember once I asked a religious scholar why he supported suicide attacks. He replied that he did not support suicide attacks but rather acts of self-sacrifice. Then he explained the difference between suicide attacks and acts of self-sacrifice. He said that when a Muslim is ready to blow himself up to kill another Muslim because of his religious differences, he is a suicide bomber. But when an oppressed and subjugated Muslim joins an oppressive army and blows himself up for his freedom, it will be an act of self-sacrifice. Then this religious scholar made me meet a young Maulvi Sahib in a mosque in Islamabad who could convince two to three hundred youths to become fidayi in two to three hours. One day, through the mediation of Maulana Abdul Rashid Ghazi Sahib, I sat quietly in the back rows of a meeting where fidayi attackers were being recruited. As a journalist, I wanted to know how good young people get ready to make themselves victims. First of all, the young Maulvi Sahib gave a heart-wrenching speech on the situation in Kashmir and Palestine. Then he told stories of the atrocities of the American forces in Afghanistan and finally asked who was ready to sacrifice their lives in the path of Allah to help the oppressed? Almost all the students raised their hands. Later, this Maulvi Sahib told me that fidayis are recruited from Punjab in the name of Kashmir, Palestine and Afghanistan, but in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, recruitment is done to avenge drone attacks. Fifteen to twenty years ago, many children of families affected by drone attacks used to become suicide bombers. This cleric also highlighted the contradictions in the policy of the Pakistani state before and after 9/11, and his letters were published in the columns of well-known columnists. With the passage of time, the distinction between a suicide bomber and a suicide bomber disappeared. Then, training suicide bombers became a business. Some hired clerics would train children from poor and backward families to become suicide bombers by listening to stories of oppressors and then sell them to various military organizations. The suicide bombers believed that they were being sent to sacrifice their lives for some great and noble cause. The instructors who sold them were training hired killers who did not receive money themselves after becoming victims, but rather their instructor and family received money. Some suicide bombers were also promised that after their death, their families would not only receive a huge amount of money but also a permanent stipend. The real purpose of many suicide bombers who kill themselves for a few lakh rupees is to make the lives of their poor siblings and parents easier in this world, more than the fairies of paradise. Recently, some women in Balochistan carried out suicide attacks. They did not take the lives of any fairies, but out of hatred and revenge. This hatred is sometimes instilled in the minds of young people on the basis of language, race and province, and sometimes hatred is created on the basis of religion and sect. The attack carried out last week at an Imambargah in Tarlai Kalan, a suburb of Islamabad, is very noteworthy. Before this, the young man involved in the suicide attack on the judicial complex was Afghan. The young man involved in the Tarlai Kalan attack is Pakistani but has been coming and going to Afghanistan. Till date, no suicide bomber has kept an identity card in his pocket, but the identity card of the young man involved in the Tarlai Kalan attack was found at the scene of the incident. Perhaps this was done deliberately so that the attacking organization could give the impression that it also has Pakistani youth. ISIS, which is opposed to the Afghan Taliban, claimed responsibility for the attack. ISIS has previously attacked Shiites in Afghanistan, and its strategy, from Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan to Pakistan, seems to be to create a civil war on sectarian lines and then weaken the state and seize certain areas. ISIS has never attacked Israel in this way.
