Martyred for Speaking Out Against the Taliban

r786,

I don't know. Though they have always been opposed to the Taliban strain of Islam, I think that the shock of the Taliban takeover of Swat and then the continuous attacks finally forced their hand. Sunni ulama generally are not involved in politics.

Zaman sahib, if you read my article carefully I didn't say that the martyrdom wasn't reported I said the Istihkam e Pakistan Conference in which the anti-Taliban comments were made wasn't reported widely.

Janab-e Naqshbandi sahib
It seems that you are not familiar with the media of Pakistan be it English or Urdu,
A learned person of your stature should at the least take their time to research about what you intend to write on.

"An amazing event happened earlier this month in Rawalpindi, Pakistan yet it was glossed over by the Urdu media and not mentioned at all in the English media in Pakistan"

Introduction of above brings about an altogether different innuendo to surface, An educated scholar of Dr. Naeemi's level would not even care if his name receives the respecitve honorable mention in the media or not, while it is not quite that easy to replace a martyred scholar just like this, while tossing around other agendas in the cover of one's condolence is the most inappropriate and lowest of all acts.
Only one of the Pak media that operates both in English & Urdu has published some thing pertaining Dr. Naeemi's demise more than 20 times while links to this limited selection appears below.
Not sure what else you may be seeking from the media.
The bottom line is that a sholar of the honor & intellect of Dr. Naeemi would never have complained or protested so for the lack of coverage should this have been the case in real, while the importance of recognizing the vacuum created by his demise remains in the same proportion regardless.

All of the following links lead to coverage of one type or another pertinent to Dr. Naeemi's martyrdom while it all is only from one single media source that shares it's publication in print and electronically and in both English as well as Urdu. Not sure how you could have missed all this and more?

Dear Asif Sahib

Why did the moderate Barelvis wait for so long to react?
