Former cricket legend turned Pakistani politician Imran Khan told the world that he was going to make Pakistan better, make it anew and deal with the problems that have accumulated in the past.
Sadly it hasn’t taken that long for him to fail.
Despite Imran Khan’s rhetoric, Pakistan is still a violent shithole that not only oppresses its own people but also threatens its neighbours, in particular India. Pakistan is still a haven for some of the worst Islamic savages on earth, such as the Jaish-e-Mohammad group that murdered 40 Indian police reservists earlier this month in Indian administered Kashmir.
Imran Khan has done little to make Pakistan better. He and his government have not dealt with the problems caused by Jaish-e-Mohammad and similar groups and neither has Khan made life more bearable for Pakistan’s often oppressed religious minorities.
I’m really not surprised at India rejecting Imran Khan’s plea to them to supply evidence of Jaish-e-Mohammad’s involvement in the attack so that the Pakistani authorities can investigate and prosecute those involved. Why should India accept Imran Khan’s word? Previous government’s have done little or nothing to stop this group or similar groups if murderous Islamic savages.
Pakistan has a track record in not handing over to India Islamic terror suspects in either a timely manner or at all. They will not properly cooperate with India over these latest murderous savages just as they did not cooperate with India over the Mumbai massacre investigation.
Many may have hoped when Imran Khan was elected as Pakistan’s Prime Minister that this erudite, educated and cosmopolitan man would bring change to this basket case of a country. Those hopes have been swiftly dashed with both this latest atrocity and his failure to protect the rights of Christians in Pakistan from the mobs of violent Muslims who want these Christians either killed or converted to Islam.
I’m pessimistic about Pakistan and pessimistic that Imran Khan can change things there. Although he is in government, he is not in full power or control as the Islamist mobs are a constant threat to both the government and the people of Pakistan. If these mobs were insignificant in size then maybe Khan could defy them and bring the great many Islamic terrorists in Pakistan to justice? Unfortunately the violent savages who make up these mobs seem to have an awful lot of public support and any attempt to civilised Pakistan, for that is what is needed, will be resisted.
It is not the political Left or the political Right as we would understand it that has turned Pakistan into a raging shithole, it is mostly Islam that has done that. Imran Khan may look and appear good and dynamic, but in reality he is really little more than a pretty covering on a nation that is the world’s most noisome turd. Pakistanis, both the awful and the decent, the Muslim or the Christian, Hindu or Sikh, will continue to suffer appalling social, cultural, economic and spiritual degradation until they realise and deal with the ideology that has turned their nation from hopeful neophyte on the world stage in 1947, to the violent basket case that it is today.
