The serious conflicts between two rival factions of the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to capture the TTP leadership in South Waziristan demonstrate openly their thirst for power at the cost of the Islamic Sharia. In other words, concerning the political interests, Taliban turn their back on religious guidance and pursue their advantages at any costs.

Clashes between the Khan Said and Sheheryar groups have left a large number of militants dead and injured. Sheheryar has refused to accept Khan Said alias Sajna as chief of TTP’s Mehsud militants and has declared himself as their leader.

Taliban are largely involved in deadly acts of terror masking their ugly intentions through religious cover. They have always claimed to carry out jihad so as to uphold Islamic instructions. Therefore, they muddy the issues in Islamic countries, particularly in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, etc.

The militants bear highly perilous ideology which prompts them shed the blood of innocent civilians, including women and children, without feeling an ounce of guilt. In their worldview, their school of thought is the only rightful ism which assures prosperity and salvation. Hence, whoever denies their religious beliefs will deserve death. But it has been proved conversely.

Of course, in the current fight between the two groups, there is no issue of Muslim and non-Muslim among themselves. Both the militant groups belong to the same schools of thought. Now, the question arises is that which of the group is right in the eye of the Islamic law? This question remains unanswered. It is beyond doubt that there is no verse of Holy Quran to justify their deadly clash.

A pamphlet, which was issued in North Waziristan on Monday, apparently quoted Mullah Muhammad Omar had called for seeking guidance from the Holy Quran to resolve differences between TTP’s Khan Said and Sheheryar groups amid reports of rifts widening between the two. Stating that there were serious differences among fighters of the Mehsud tribe in South Waziristan, the pamphlet had asked them to recite verses from Quran to end hostilities.

However, Afghan Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid denied on Tuesday that any pamphlets had been distributed by the group in the name of their leader Mullah Omar. He said the pamphlets appear to have been taken out by local group and had no association with the Afghan Taliban leadership.

So, it no more remains a mystery for the world that Taliban militants flagrantly violate Islamic law for growing voracious appetite for power. Now, both the groups claim for the rights to take the leadership killing themselves which is contrary to Islamic Sharia.
