The Taliban have fallen to such a low, have become devoid of Pashtunwali and Afghan code of life, have become that much brazenly shameless that they will never hesitate to strap bomb to your daughter or sister. An eight-year-old girl, wearing a suicide vest was detained in Helmand province Sunday night as she tried to carry out an attack on border police. This act shows how much the Taliban have gone insane, crippled and inhuman in their so-called holy war, which in reality has nothing to do with the peace-loving Islam. Their war has become a bloody instance of “Muslim on Muslim” violence. The girl detained is said to be the sister of a prominent Taliban commander. Unable to give her a brighter future, and share in inheritance, the shameless brother goaded her on becoming a suicide bomber. The girl has now been shifted to the provincial capital Lashkargah. The Taliban earlier used girl suicide bombers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa when Sohana Javed, a nine-year-old girl, was kidnapped back in 2013 on her way to school in Peshawar. Later, she was detained by security forces. She says two men and a woman had kidnapped her, pushed her in a car, knocked her unconscious by forcing her to breathe through a sedative-laced handkerchief and drove her to an unknown location. After this incident, a woman suicide bomber carried out attack in Bajaur Agency, killing dozens of innocent people. And now a girl in Helmand attempted at carrying out a suicide attack on border police. This is how girls have been pushed into a futile war. The Taliban are even misquoting ahadith and Qura’anic verses to legitimize their arguments. They lie through their teeth however they cannot justify the illegality of their war despite the hypocritical self-righteous justifications and transparent lies. We accept that we and our political elite have committed some wrongs, but the difference between our sins and their sins is when we sin we know we are sinning, while they have actually fallen prey to their own fabricated illusions, that’s why not only have they become hypocrites but agents of a wicked ideology which gives us nothing but violence. And the more problematic is their indifference on their ignorance. Indifference is the essence of inhumanity whereas a man’s inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourns. The Taliban are unparallel in this trade. The babble against the Taliban is boiling, but the nation stands unarmed and defenseless in front of them. As the Taliban have become brazenly hypocrites in their war, anger and hate is widespread among citizens of the country against them. However, their anger is tacit, one day it will boil out and turn violent. Then there will be no place for the Taliban on this land. If the Taliban think they have supporters, they are wrong and living in a utopian world as none is their supporter, but they fear for life if they publicly oppose them. A common man is like someone who lives in barbed and barricaded houses, work in highly guarded offices, and travel in armored vehicles, how he can oppose the Taliban publicly. And the harebrained Taliban consider them as supporters. In this case, they personify stupidity.
This war-weary nation has been held hostage by these war-mongering Taliban. Therefore, they shouldn’t live in the dream world that they will once again rule this country and this people. Now is the high time they should rethink their policy and their so-called jihad, a jihad where dies none but Afghans. The fast they become disillusioned the fast the miseries of this ill-fated nation will come to an end. Now it all rests in their hands, what they give to this nation. Bloodshed or peace?
