Your problem precisely is the articulation of the "islamist" narrative in a language that doesn't fit your idea of how a politically charged muslim should argue, classic neo-oriental tendencies. which is why you have to box muslims into "frantic mullahs-good sec-lib muslim" binaries, you're unable to fathom any political commentary beyond the secular-liberal-humanist paradigm, which you assume to be universal and neutral.
Kindly please don't punch above your intellectual pay-grade, stick to doing podcasts within your bubble.

Why is India-administered Kashmir struggling to receive international attention despite decades of human rights abuses happening there? At a special summit on Kashmir in Istanbul, activists, diplomats and academics highlighted allegations of arbitrary detention, restrictions on movement and the imprisonment of political figures
How Asad Toor and BBC are trying to white wash this whole journey of terrorism by putting all blame on Bashir Zeb alone. It's fascinating.
Let us revisit history for a moment.
Before dawn on January 30, 2016, security forces raided a house in Kili Dattu, a village in Mastung. Five men were killed. One of them was Dr Abdul Mannan Baloch, Secretary General of the Baloch National Movement. His supporters called him a doctor turned political worker. The state called him what he was, second-in-command to Dr Allah Nazar, and the man running the banned Baloch Liberation Front while his chief was believed dead.
Today, BBC and Ali Toor are doing their best to whitewash the crimes of men like him. So let us tell the story they leave out.
Dr Mannan was not just a militant commander. He was a recruiter of minds. He became the central figure in cultivating hatred among Baloch women and mentored many of those who were later brainwashed into turning against their own community and their own state.
His so-called “groundbreaking” strategy of mobilising women is well known. It was dressed up first as student politics in his BSO days, and later as an organisational doctrine built around women. Even those who knew him well have admitted that he was both a militant commander and a political mobiliser. That combination is exactly what made him dangerous.
Under his watch, and under the supervision of Dr Allah Nazar, a circle of these women was formed. Then came the infiltration of different parts of society, above all the education sector, where the real prize was influence over students. This project began around 2009. The harvest came more than a decade later.
Bashir Zeb did not invent this. He collected what had already been planted. The handlers and elders had done the groundwork years earlier, and the outcome was already waiting for him.
These women were pushed further into agitation and hatred against the state by voices from outside Balochistan too. That includes the very friend of Asad Toor who was recently sent to jail by an Anti-Terrorism Court.
Manan started the program, Bashir Zeb reaped the benefits, Mahrang furthered the agenda through it's ultimate cover of rights movement and some fuedals daughter sitting in Islamabad became their advocate.
This is not a set of isolated tragedies. It is one story, and it began in 2009. One part of the network supplied the ideology, another supplied the guns, and a third supplied the sympathetic cameras and microphones. Together they poisoned the minds of Baloch youth and deliberately targeted Baloch women. They used them as shields at protests, as faces for propaganda, and finally as bombs.
This entire nexus needs to be exposed. From Turbat to Islamabad, the infestation needs to be rooted out.

بہت سے تجزیہ کاروں کی رائے میں بشیر زیب نے بلوچ تحریک کو نقصان پہنچایا ہے۔
ان کی رائے میں بشیر زیب کے جانب سے خودکش حملوں میں خواتین کا استعمال، سفارت خانوں اور عام شہریوں کو نشانہ بنانے جیسی حکمت عملی نے بلوچ تحریک کو دہشتگردی میں تبدیل کر دیا۔
محقق اور تجزیہ کار ملک سراج اکبر کے مطابق ’بی ایل اے کی قیادت ایک واضح اخلاقی حد قائم کر سکتی تھی اور ریاست کے خلاف اپنی لڑائی میں خواتین کو شامل کرنے سے گریز کر سکتی تھی لیکن اس کے منفی اخلاقی اثرات جاننے کے باوجود وہ خواتین خودکش بمباروں کا استعمال جاری رکھے ہوئے ہیں، صرف اس لیے کیونکہ ان حملوں کو میڈیا میں زیادہ کوریج ملتی ہے۔‘
ڈی آئی جی سی ٹی ڈی اعتزار احمد گورایا کا کہنا ہے کہ بشیر زیب کے خاندان میں سے کئی افراد سرکاری نوکری بھی کرتے رہے ہیں لیکن وہ دیگر پڑھے لکھے نوجوانوں کی زندگیاں خودکش حملوں میں ضائع کر رہے ہیں۔
انسداد دہشت گردی امور کے ماہر اور قائد اعظم یونیورسٹی سے تعلق رکھنے والے ڈاکٹر خرم اقبال کا کہنا تھا کہ ’جیسے جیسے بی ایل اے کے حملوں میں بربریت آتی گئی ویسے ویسے بلوچستان سے باہر اس گروپ کی سپورٹ میں کمی آتی گئی اور اس نے سب سے زیادہ نقصان بلوچ تحریک کو پہنچایا کیونکہ عالمی رائے عامہ خودکش حملوں سے متعلق سازگار نہیں ہے۔‘

not my problem that you have gotten so used to cheap comedy and dimwit discourse, that anything with a little bit of sophistication appears "fancy" to you.
you have done nothing until now except complaining about "the words" i use, nonetheless, my argument is still the same, only talk when you can clearly state the philosophical ground you're coming from, having solid views and opinions requires having some principled worldview, otherwise its all patchwork & feel-good intellectuality.
So can you even communicate through a proper framework before criticising opinions on surface level? or is it too much of an ask from a pseudo-jester?

Sorry for using vocabulary above your room temperature IQ, and its fine, you can stay in your "international liberal-democratic order" delusion, its long dead for us, its purely ideologically guided realpolitik for us, and you can throw all your catchwords "islamists/mullahs etc" at me, its a post-7th October world, these neo-orientalist war-on-terror era lines of argumentation mean nothing.
Only speak when you can speak through a coherent/grounded paradigm of thought, you stand on nothing.

مزہ تو یہ آرہا ہے کہ جیسی بی بی تمکنت ہے ویسے ہی اس کے اندھے مقلدین۔ یہ سمجھتے ہیں کہ دنیا کہ یہ نہیں پتہ کہ طنز و مزاح کیا ہوتا ہے یا اس کا سیاسی یا غیر سیاسی استعمال کیا ہوتا ہے۔ اے کوئی وڈے پڑھے لکھے لوک آگئے نے۔

No, let me tell you what is remarkable:
Insecure quislings and cheap comedians present themselves as some intellectual genius.
Also, it’s not satire. It’s open vulgarity end of discussion!
Islam conservatively talks about sexual issues and religious scholars express them with a certain decorum. If they get it wrong, a scholarly response would be called for.
What do we get here?
Cheap wannabe comedy at best. Why? Because it hurts cultural Marxism that this ilk promotes. Pure evil!
It’s quite remarkable how quickly insecure men get triggered when women start speaking like them. The entire video is satire, mocking the way men casually discuss women, their sexual needs and degrade them. When Mufti sahab was doing it, where was all this outrage about decency? But the moment a woman turns the tables, suddenly it’s vulgar and offensive to modest women? You don’t even understand what she’s mocking. Apparently men can say whatever they like, but women must be shamed and policed for daring to repeat it. The hypocrisy is staggering but expected from this man in particular.
She is a sophisticated female version of Rajab Butt or the likes of Mr Patlo. Transformed into a celebrity with the so called progressive elite and by our entertainment industry.
I was surprised why was she hiding her true colours for so long. Her friendship and videos about certain habits with that comedian turn podcaster turn pseudo historian are still available on the YouTube somewhere. People should watch and then decide wether she can represent females or just those who are desperate with their perversion?

This is now a regular feature at most of the cross roads or greenbelts in Islamabad. Once famous for it's cleanliness, now turning into a garbage city.
This is G-10, Ahmed Faraz Road. Third day of my morning drive and still the same situation.
At first it's the responsibility of the citizens. Throwing off your garbage like this shows how this so called educated class behave. Second it's the responsibility of CDA. But they are also sleeping.

OPERATION AL-MIZAN: Pakistan Army in Mir Ali, North Waziristan, 2004, Oil Painting, Pakistan's War on Terror.
This oil painting captures troops of the Pakistan Army moving through the streets of Mir Ali, once North Waziristan's second-largest town, and an important centre of commerce and services for its residents.
After the collapse of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan in late 2001, North Waziristan became a hub for local, Afghan, Arab and Central Asian militants, including the Taliban, Al-Qaeda and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. Residents bore the brunt of the violence, facing suicide attacks, assassinations and torture almost daily.
Militants virtually controlled part of the region's 4,700 square kilometres. The Pakistan Army launched OPERATION AL-MIZAN on 15 June 2004, to eliminate terrorists and restore the writ of the state. After gaining control of Miranshah, troops entered Mir Ali, a well-known base for insurgent groups. On 25 July 2004, 54 Baloch Regiment played a key role in clearing the area. The unit was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Jawad Bajwa (later Brigadier), and formed part of 313 Brigade, under Brigadier Azhar Saleh Abbasi (later Lieutenant General).
The operation in numbers:
• About 447 terrorists killed
• 88 militant hideouts destroyed
• 21 surrendered in Miranshah and 11 in Mir Ali
• 26 army personnel, including officers, embraced shahadat
• 80 personnel injured
Many similar operations followed to root out terrorists and establish the writ of the state. Peace was finally restored, displaced persons returned, and development and reconstruction restored normalcy to the region. We honour the sacrifices of the officers and soldiers who served, and of the people of North Waziristan who endured and were displaced.

Rubio Says #US Ready to Help Ease #Pakistan-#Afghanistan Tension
US Secretary of State @SecRubio signaled Saturday the Trump administration’s willingness to help defuse military tensions between Pakistan and Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, saying that Washington opposes terrorism regardless of its origin.
"Pakistan is concerned about terrorist attacks that are being sponsored from the territory of Afghanistan," Rubio said in his remarks at the G20 summit in Atlanta. "They (Pakistan) feel as if the Taliban has not done enough to constrain those attacks, and they have taken action against it," he stated.
"We obviously don't want them to be targeted by terrorism. So, if there’s a productive role for us to play, we would play it. We don’t necessarily have the closest relationship with the Taliban, as you can imagine."

F-9 Park holds a special place in the hearts of everyone living in Islamabad.
Let me make it absolutely clear that Not a single tree will be cut 100% guaranteed. No new concrete structures.
Instead, we are planning better lighting, a beautiful lake, coffee shops, improved walkways, and the plantation of thousands of additional trees.
Our only goal is to make F-9 Park greener, safer, more beautiful, and more enjoyable for families and visitors.
