Shia Hazara Massacres in Pakistan

Source: Huffington Post

A meeting in the House of Lords today (25 February 2013) will consider the latest in a series of massacres of the Hazara people in the Pakistan province of Balochistan, and its connection with the wider sectarian attacks on Shi’as throughout Pakistan.

Brief report of the meeting
In the meeting in the House of Lords on Shia genocide including Shia Hazara massacres in Pakistan, two points stood out. One was Lord Avebury’s assertion that the Shia and Hazara killings should be considered as genocide and the second points related to references made by many speakers on the need to convince Saudi Arabia to crack down on funding going into hands of extremists in Pakistan

The UK Parliament’s Human Rights Group acknowledged that the Shia face a genocide in Pakistan. A parliamentary group is being formed to take up Shia Genocide and lobby in the UN and other international forums.

British Association of Sunni Muslims asked the UK Parliament to exert pressure on Saudi Arabia to stop funding Takfiri terrorist outfits in Pakistan. Representative of Dr. Tahir ul Qadri’s Minhaj-Ul-Quran UK requested British Parliamentarians to exert pressure on Pakistan to stop Shia Genocide and make use of Dr Qadri’s anti terrorism fatwa against suicide bombers and terrorits. Chairman of the UK Central Association of Sunni Muslims said there is no proxy war by any country in Pakistan, only Saudi Arabia is funding terrorism and exporting radical Wahhabism to Pakistan infiltrating traditional (Deobandi and other Sunni) Muslims.

The British parliamentary group, once set up, will also visit Pakistan to monitor situation on Shia genocide, and report findings to the UK Parliament, UN and other international forums. (Source: Myra Macdonald, Ale Natiq)

Just over a week ago a massive bomb was detonated in a packed bazaar on the outskirts of Quetta, killing at least 92 people and seriously injuring more than 200.

Last month a double suicide bombing on Alamdar Road, Quetta took the lives of 108 people. These were the latest in a crescendo of genocidal attacks on the Hazara community since the turn of the century which have left over 1,100 dead and 1,300 injured.

The extremist Sunni Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LJ) claim responsibility for these atrocities. Their spokesman Abu Bakar Siddiq telephoned journalists to say they would continue to kill Shi’as regardless of the imposition of Governor’s Rule or the deployment of the army. They declare that not a single Hazara will remain alive in Balochistan.

In Karachi, the LJ’s genocidal hatred of the Shi’a is directed against the Dawoodi Bohra community. Former LJ leader Malik Ishaq, who was suspected of involvement in dozens of murders, was released by the Lahore court in September 2011. He is now vice-president of the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat (ASWJ), a Deobandi entity which succeeded the banned terrorist Sipah-e-Sahaba.

The ASWJ has an electoral pact with Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League to contest the forthcoming general election, so they will almost certainly have MPs in the next Parliament.

Last Friday, in a belated response to demands by the governor of Balochistan for the central government to act against the terrorists, the police finally arrested Malik Ishaq on unspecified charges.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called for swift and determined action against the LJ, but taking one assassin off the street is not going to halt their campaign to exterminate the kufr (infidels) and turn Pakistan into an ethnically and religiously pure Islamic Caliphate.

In all the years since violent racist organizations like the LJ have flourished, not one of their members has been convicted in a court of law. Nor has the Parliament legislated to make racial or religious hate speech a criminal offence.

Worse, their ideology has infected the mainstream Barelvi sect, as evidenced by the killing of Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer and the widespread sympathy expressed for his assassin by their members.

Taseer had merely called for clemency for a poor mother of five, sentenced to death on baseless charges of blasphemy. The growth of intolerance is exemplified not only by the blasphemy law, used to persecute religious minorities, but also by the targeted killing of its critics.

To produce the terrorists who kill anybody that disagrees with them, as well as Shi’as and other minorities, there has to be an aberrant interpretation of Islam. In Pakistan, and to a lesser extent in other countries of south, central and southeast Asia this is being propagated in madrassas that receive organizational and financial funding from Saudi Arabia. The cries of agony of the Hazaras, like the canary in the mine, should alert us to the even wider dangers they signal.

A conference on Shia Hazara killings held in London with Lord Eric Avebury, Dr Ali Alawi plus many more human right activists and politicians on 12/11/2011. Lord Avebury questioned the dubious role of Pakistan army and intelligence agencies who look the other way while Deobandi-Salafist militants and madrassah Jihadists kill Shias.

    Reportedly in recent months the chief terrorist malik Ishaq visited KSA and come back with 150 million rupees to meet the expenses of their on going operations in pakistan.
    On the other hand PML-N has stroked a deal with these millitant outfits but in public debate they deny
    To coup this miserable situation human right watch and civil society has to wake up and raised their voice against these inhuman acts.

    Wonderful to hear that the UK Parliament’s Human Rights Group acknowledged that the “Shia face a genocide in Pakistan.” Finally.
    “A parliamentary group is being formed to take up Shia Genocide and lobby in the UN and other international forums”
    …Good luck with the feckless U.N.- their track record for dealing with genocide is seriously flawed.
    Let us hope in this instance go beyond pronouncements and do something about what we have been proclaiming for the last 2 years and going back decades!
    Insha’Allah!

    There is little doubt that there still exist, across Pakistan, mosques, schools of religious learning and other religious centres that continue to spew hate. Unless that infrastructure of hate is shut down, and clearly some in attendance at the Lahore conference would oppose such a move, Pakistan will never win its struggle for internal peace. – Photo by AP.

    An extraordinary gathering of top Deobandi leaders was arranged in Lahore in the hope of getting religious leaders, scholars and politicians to speak with one voice in condemning, with no ifs or buts, suicide bombing and militancy in Pakistan.
    The reason for the gathering was that the government and army have realised it is an important part of the counter-insurgency strategy to isolate the militants ideologically and expose them for what they are, i.e. murderers using religion as a cover to grab power and further their millenarian beliefs. Unfortunately, though perhaps not unpredictably, the Deobandi leadership baulked, preferring instead to focus on the ‘other’ causes of militancy in the country. These ‘other’ reasons are well-known: the American presence in Afghanistan, the lack of a ‘true’ Islamic system of governance in Pakistan, the Musharraf government’s support for the ‘evil’ Americans, drone strikes in the tribal areas, etc. In short, everyone but the people actually using bombs, suicide bombers, IEDs and beheadings to kill and maim Pakistanis are to blame for the security crisis in the country.

    Not everyone who is a critic of American foreign policy in the region is a fanatic. Not everyone who questions the role of the Pakistan Army and state in the current state of affairs is a religious ideologue. Not everyone who supports talks and peace negotiations is a militant. But when a group of religious leaders comes together to discuss the issue of militancy, it is odd, to say the least, that it can find a voice to condemn everyone other than the militants themselves. Of course, not all those who attended the Deobandi conference in Lahore could be labelled as extremists. Indeed, observers have noted that ‘moderate’ voices were present, but in the end they were perhaps too intimidated by the hardliners in attendance to speak their minds.

    Therein lies the great danger that still lurks inside Pakistan. Experts in counter-insurgency have long pointed out that a military response alone will not win this war against militancy. What’s needed is for the infrastructure of hate and religious bigotry to also be shut down. Branding all madressahs as incubators of hate and violence is wrong. But there is little doubt that there still exist, across Pakistan, mosques, schools of religious learning and other religious centres that continue to spew hate. Unless that infrastructure of hate is shut down, and clearly some in attendance at the Lahore conference would oppose such a move, Pakistan will never win its struggle for internal peace.
