Killing of Lady Health Workers in Pakistan

Our religious organizations, may they be of any School of Thought, purely active in DAWA venture or involved in political activities also, will have to give up policy of chewing the words and ifs and buts in case of condemning the brutal act of targeting the health workers who were out to provide polio drops to the children and were subject to cold blooded murder with bullets in their heads. It is not enough to give light comments in some TV talk shows by some religious leaders. The condemnation must be a strong party policy of every religious party. State, politics, elections and democracy remain the secondary subjects in case when the country is badly plagued with terrorism, making innocent and poor health workers who have undertaken this task only because they have no other source of earning to feed their children. 
There are many dubious things already in 'religious market'. So-called healers of spiritual diseases, the ones who claim to assuage the evil impacts of sorcery, experts of exorcism and practice a spell to counteract loss in business, unsuccessful marriages, discard and split in families, unmatched marital relations and many other myths are closely linked to Barelvi School of Thought but the seat holders of great Sufis and religious scholars of this School of Thought have never taken the issue seriously and refuted the fraudulent and spurious elements bringing bad name for them.  
 Now same is happening with Deobandis. Ahl-e-Hadith and Jamat Islami are ideologically close to this School of Thought. They all tremendously fail in disowning the elements who are notoriously engaged in terror acts in name of Jehad. Glitter of their refulgent religious history is getting badly stigmatized by the elements who are using the term 'Jehad' in their sabotaging and destructive activities of terrorism. They are actually becoming matter of shame for prominent Ulama and Shayukh. But it seems the Ulama of this School of Thought are either under some hidden fear or expedience have overcome them. They hesitate in openly condemning the heinous acts of terrorism. 
No doubt many stateless criminals actors from different parts of the world have gathered and taken shelter in tribal areas of Pakistan who are involved in terror acts. They are very easy hired for giving heavy blow to the stability and integrity of Pakistan. Foreign powers, including America can easily hire them to work for its ferocious agencies like Black Water. Suicide attack on Qazi Hussain Ahemed, former Amir of Jamat Islami, was most probably taken over by such elements, but very strange he refrained from directly denouncing them. The Pakistan Defense Council, Maulana Fazlurehman and Jamat Islami must heavily disown these elements and fail not in rebuking Tehreek Talban Pakistan who takes responsibility within minutes after happening of any bloody act in any corner of Pakistan.
It is really woeful, none of the religious leaders except Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi raised a powerful voice against killings of the lady health workers in Karachi and Peshawar, and much more tragic that there was no hue and cry in this case as it was seen worldwide in case of Malalah Yusufzai. Why? Because Malalah's innocence  was very mischievously used for furthering the agenda of world powers who have declared war against the Muslim Ummah. Greed and so-called 'progressive' thoughts of Malalah's father made this little girl culpably play in hands of the Americans. It was none but he who sold her loyalties to the powers who are waging the ignominious 'War on Terror'.
