Does @IRFSummit support freedom from religion? How can you talk about religious freedom without talking about freedom from religion? I haven't seen a single thing on that from IRF. Would love to hear how they feel about it.
#IRFSummit2022 had a panel on hijab ban and how Muslim women are being supposedly oppressed by the infidels. But where's the panel on mandatory hijab and how Muslim women are actually oppressed by Muslim men and other Muslim women?
This is why I don't take seriously any "religious freedom" event which has links with the American government. Because it is part of American government's domestic and foreign policy to co-opt Islamism instead of countering it.
Some people talk a lot about how Qatar backs Muslim Brotherhood. What most people don't talk about is that Qatari policy is actually fully backed by the Americans. MB is entertained in the power corridors of U.S. and both parties - Dems and Reps - are guilty of courting MB.
Actually, Americans have almost always used the help of Muslim governments to co-opt Islamism to promote American policies domestically and globally. Way back it used to be Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Now it's Qatar. Tomorrow it will some other Muslim state.

Lovely to see some Pakistani "experts" who were surprised about Taliban-TTP relationship last year now innocently inquiring about the TTP-HGB (Hafiz Gul Bahadur group) relationship.

This is what happens when you try to make sense of things without looking at the bigger picture.
Most (but not all) of the ops that took place during ceasefire were against Hafiz Gul Bahadur group. But TTP chief in his interview appears to be criticizing those ops.

Q some are asking is: are TTP and HGB not enemies as people been told for so long?
TTP and HGB group share the same jihadi ideology and both are fighting against the same target (the Pakistani state). Whatever differences they have had were mostly about power struggle. They are certainly not enemies. If they were, they would be attacking each other.
