In the name of jihad hundred and thousands of people
were died to gain the cause of others, in this story I will tell you the story
of Khalid Mehmood belongs to Pakistan brought up in his village. He used to sowing
and watering to his crops along with his father, at the age of 12 he went to Lahore
and started working in a factory, he was very inspired by films and he want to
see in films.
After 9/11 there was hard emotions against Americans
and rallies are organized in the support of Taliban and Osama, everyone chanting
anti American slogan, everyone who had religious mind in Sunni sect want to shed
their lives to defend Osama and Taliban, There were announcements
saying: "We need people to go to Afghanistan to fight the Americans!"
Khalid
volunteered on the spot. "I thought, 'I can go to see another
country'," he said. In no time at all he'd been driven to Kandahar, the
Taliban stronghold in southern Afghanistan.
An
Afghan cleric taught him how to pray - there was no instruction in violent
jihad. But still, life was difficult, Khalid said. "They were all Pashtuns
and I could not understand their language. I was in another world," he
told me. "There were bullets flying around. I wanted to go back
home."
But
he hardly knew where he was, so there was no chance of his returning to
Pakistan on his own.
After 15 days he was moved up to northern Afghanistan
where the Taliban were fighting and where he attended to wounded fighters. But
the Taliban were soon in retreat and Khalid and some others from Pakistan were
told they could go back home. They started out in buses but, after being
relieved of their vehicles at a checkpoint, had to continue on foot.
After
a few hours walking they were picked up by one of Afghanistan's most notorious
warlords who told the Pakistanis to get in a container that would take them
back to their country. Those who refused to get in were shot. Crammed in, the
men began to panic and fight. Khalid fainted - and it probably saved his life.
He
later learned that while he was unconscious the warlord's men walked around the
outside of the container firing bullets into it. Khalid was one of only 15 or
16 to get out alive.
