Countries Involved in the Massacre of Hazaras |

Saudi Arabia: Two motives comes in mind for the direct involvement of the Saudi Govt. in the massacre of the Hazaras (and the Shiites in Pakistan.) 1. Spread of Wahabism. There are two main factions in Islam: Sunnite and Shiites. Among the Sunnites, the Saudi Government believe in the Wahabi form of Islam with extremist and radical beliefs. The Wahabis consider the Shiites as Non- Muslims and believe killing them is not a sin. Details of killings of Hazaras in Mazar-e Sharif and Bamyan in 1998 and the speeches given by the Taliban leadership such as Mullah Manon Niazi, the appointed Governor of Mazar is a living proof. [1] Besides the Taliban website is full of such nonsense. Although it is funny that the people who issue the religious decree (fitwa) for killing the Hazaras in Afghanistan themselves are far away from the real teachings of Islam. The Arab world, including the Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and UAE are full of monarchs, and dictators (such as Saddam). Islam strictly prohibits Kings and monarchs. 2. The Oil Connection. Saudi Oil companies had major shares ( second to the US based Oil giant, UNOCAL) in the Centgas consortium. The project involved building an oil pipeline from Turkmenistan via Afghanistan to Pakistan and potentially to India. The Taliban Govt. in Afghanistan could serve two purpose for Saudi Arabia. First, a Wahabi extremist Govt. that is controlled by Saudi Govt. Second, a Taliban govt. in Afghanistan could guarantee the safety of the Oil Pipelines.

Pakistan: What is the motive for Pakistan to see Taliban prevail in Afghanistan at the cost of her own sovereignty? Following reasons comes to mind:
Such policy can backfire easily as we can see it right now. The Govt. of Pakistan is helpless to stop the extremists from killing the Shiite minority even in Pakistan by the well known arm groups that are funded by the Saudi Govt., such as Sipah Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) , Lashkar Jhangvi, Sawad Azam etc. Pakistan and Afghanistan is an ideal breading ground for these extremists elements and their activities. Taliban Leadership educated in Pakistani Madrassas: In YEAR 1998 (taken from Taliban website)
Pakistan also provides the communication modes such as telephone and wireless to the Taliban.

Killings of Shia (and other) Minorities in Pakistan
Note: Sipah e Sahaba (Army of the Companions), best described as Sipah e Yazid (Laeen ibn e Laeen) is a Wahabi/Deobandi terrorist organisation which is being funded by Saudi Arabia and supported by the Wahabi ranks in Pakistan Army's ISI. Lashkar e Jhangavi is the death squad of Sipah e Sahaba. Riaz Basra, chief of the Lashkar, is being sheltered by the Wahabi Taliban in Afghanistan. With the financial backing from Saudi Arabia and ammunition, protection and training from the Pakistan government, Sipah e Sahaba and Lashkar e Jhangavi have been openly killing Shias in Pakistan for many years now. Hiding behind the name of Sahaba Ikram (RA), these Wahabi terrorists tried to portray themselves as Sunni Muslims. But alhamdolillah the Sunni Muslims of Pakistan openly denounced these Wahabis and their terrorist activities. When they were rejected by the Sunni Muslims, the Sipah e Sahaba started killing the Sunni Ulema and leaders as well. United Arab Emirates (UAE): |

Iran: This country has a history of discrimination against the Hazaras. No country has done so much damage to the Hazaras as much as Iran. Iran has always tried to use religion to gain the sympathies of the Hazaras. Recall that majority of the Hazaras belong to the Shiite sect of Islam and Iran is the only Shiite country in the world . While on one hand they try to show themselves sympathetic to the Hazaras, in reality majority of the Iranians hate the Hazaras due to their association with the 13th century Mongol warrior, Genghis Khan. Recall that many Hazaras believe that their history tie back with the Mongols and that they are the descendants of the Mongol warrior, Genghis Khan (Changez Khan as he is called in the East) During the height of the Mongol empire, Genghis Khan invaded and destroyed Persia, the modern day Iran. Majority of the Iranians out of their extreme prejudice for Hazaras calls the Hazaras as "Hazara Berberi" meaning Barbaric. Any Hazara that has ever been to Iran (including the author) will tell you of the discrimination of the Iranians against the Hazaras. Nevertheless, Just as the Saudi's spend millions and millions of dollars on producing the Wahabi fanatics, Iran spends money and funds the Extremist elements in the Shiite sect. The Hazaras tired and exhausted by the situation and the economic problems, have no choice but to look for help from Iran. Pro Iran Hazara factions during 1980's: First, since the early 80's the Iranian govt. has been involved in breaking the Hazaras into different factions. During the early years of Afghan war, Iran-backed factions of Hazaras killed each other. Secondly, the forced association of Hazaras with Iran has done a lot of damage to the Hazaras. This is very obvious if you watch news in any western country such as United States as they almost always refer to Hazaras as "Pro- Iran party" without ever mentioning them as "Hazaras." Note: Majority of Hazaras are Shiite, but many Hazaras also belong to Ismaili and Sunni sects as well. United States of America (USA): How is the United States involved in the massacre of the Hazaras?
This mutual dependence between United States and the Arab World ensures that the United States does not jeopardize the relationship with the Arab world. Unless the matters concerns the Jewish State of Israel, the United States has almost a noninterference policy despite the blatant human rights violations throughout the Arab world. This is obvious as the US Media almost *never* talks about the Human Rights violations committed by Saudi, Kuwait, and Turkey (or Israel). It should be noted that their is no judiciary in either Saudi, or Kuwait and the words of the Royal family is considered the law. See the links above under Saudi Arabia.
[ 1] - For reference, we have provided the text here for you. For more information follow this link on Mazar Killings. The Following speech was given by Mullah Manon Niazi, the appointed Governor or Mazar, after the Taliban massacred 15,000 Hazaras and raped women. "If you want to live along with other Afghan ethnic groups, you should never think of sharing and participating in the future government structure. Hazaras! Where would you escape? If you jumped in to the air we will grasp your legs, if you enter the earth we will grasp your ears. Hazaras are not Muslim. You can kill them. It is not a sin. Oh Hazaras! Become Muslims and pray God like us. We won't let you to go away. Every border is in our control. 10,000 Talibs came last year as guest but you kill them. we will kill you the same way you killed them. They must remain unburied on streets for three days. We will kill you and nobody is allowed to bury the dead bodies till three days…"
