More from the Bhutto Aftermath

The Muslim blogosphere is almost saturated with both informed, and non-informed, opinions on the death of Benazir Bhutto. It’s difficult to choose which ones to highlight on Ijtema, but here are a few that I found to be informative in their own way:

Hijabman has posted a series of letters written by his relatives who are currently residing in Karachi, giving a more personal, eye-witness account of current events:

  1. Letter From Karachi & Benazir Bhutto’s Death
  2. The Lever Of Her Sunroof Did It
  3. Did Benazir Bhutto know she was America’s lackey?

Moderate Observer notes that Bhutto’s death is simply the latest in a string of politically-motivated assasinations that have taken place since the region gained independence from British rule:

In New Delhi, Mohandas K. Gandhi was killed in 1948 by an outraged Hindu. Pakistan’s first prime minister, Liaquat Ali Khan, was assassinated in 1951–in the same Rawalpindi park where Benazir Bhutto was attacked–and General Zia ul-Haq perished in a still mysterious plane crash in 1988. In Sri Lanka in 1959, Prime Minister S.W.R.D Bandaranaike fell victim to a fanatic Buddhist monk, the first of two generations of more than a half-dozen leading politicians to die in shootings and bombings. (Tamil Tiger rebels would later try but fail to kill Bandaranaike’s daughter, Chandrika Kumaratunga, when she was president.) Sheikh Mujibir Rahman, founder and first Prime Minister of independent Bangladesh, was murdered in 1975; in 1981 Bangladeshi President Ziaur Rahman, was shot in an army coup. Nepal’s entire royal family was wiped out in one evening in Kathmandu in 2001, apparently by a disaffected crown prince… From end to end, South Asia is a region drenched in blood.

Finally, a very fitting response to the following question can be found hosted on Imam Webb’s blog:

  3. @ The corrupt, secular, anti-Nazaria-e-Pakistan, Ilhadi, colonial-zuriat media is
    abusing the freedom and monopolising their
    leader’s death, they were relying on BB to
    promote communism, Fahashi, sexual perversity
    in Pakistani culture, their goal was and is
    to change in the name of ” progress” the
    moderate new nation called Pakistanis to a
    libertarian brothel ! all propaganda and lies
    and cheating is promoted by these nearly all
    free Channels, particularly Geo TV which is
    nothing but a 100% permissive corrupt channel
    where you can not watch with your family. The
    serials like “Kuch dil nay Kaha, kuch kahi kuch unkahi” its nothing social but attraction
    towards fornication, Zina, free living of young
    boys and girls, inciting dislikes for morals or
    simple decency, there are other serials which
    should be censored and punished by Pemra &
    Ministry of Education.
    They have invested enormous capital, and run
    by wested interest and agends of suspicious NGOs. I would ask all Pakistani muslims and
    citizens abroad to take interest in this
    disaster before its too late.

  4. @ surprising news from Benazir’s Party,

    PPP and its Zarbhutts declared that
    ” it might be possible that interfnational
    conspiracy is responsible for BB’s murder
    as Pak Govt.claims ”

    Subhanallah, New Scotland Yard has been credited with very discrete success but not
    official as they were in Pakistan for “that
    another purpose ” ??? six more agents have
    arrived in Pakistan to continue “that”
    investigation’s’

    What a kaljug !!
