Pakistanis launch a huge tirade against the rifle brandishing Taliban rule on various communities on Facebook.
A movement has been launched by several groups on popular social networking website Facebook against the Taliban, who are forcing their "brand of Islam" on Pakistanis.
"Taliban, please leave Pakistan alone. We do not want you enforcing your brand of Islam on us. We do not want our women to be beaten up by your groups of vigilantes. We do not want our young boys to be corrupted by your violent and intolerant ideology," reads a note of one of many groups created on Facebook to protest against "Taliban Raj".
The note on Facebook called for the punishment of the Taliban for their crimes. "We do not want you to take over our beautiful valleys and scare everyone into peace. We want a judicial system. Not a system run by microphone and gun-toting illiterate maulvis. We want safety and prosperity for our young girls and boys," it said.
The note added: "Leave our country alone from the violent way of life. We do not want to live in your fear. Pakistanis want to respect Islam and most want to be good Muslims."
In the past few weeks, Taliban fighters from the restive northwestern Swat valley have extended their influence to Buner and other areas located just 100 km from Islamabad.
As in Swat, the Taliban barred women from venturing out of their homes and stopped men from shaving their beards. They have also launched a major push for enforcing Islamic law in these areas.
"The women of Pakistan hate Taliban" is another group on Facebook that is raising its voice against "Taliban-instituted system of gender apartheid".
"Under Taliban rule women have been stripped of their visibility, voice, and mobility," wrote Syed Ali Raza, the creator of the group.
"We hate the bombs going off. We hate how they think they own Pakistan and we hate the fact the whole world thinks we support them. For the sake of our freedom and peace we want them out of Pakistan. Join the group. Invite your friends to show the world we want assault rifle brandishing militants out!" read Raza's message.
"No place in Pakistan for the Taliban – Let's get them out" is yet another group floated by Ahmed Wahla.
"Rise up fellow Pakistanis. Don't forget the principles on which our country was founded upon. Write to newspapers, come on news channels, and do everything and anything to make your voices heard. Let's let these Taliban know that Pakistan is united against them.
"My message to you all is of hope, courage and confidence. Let us mobilise all our resources in a systematic and organised way and tackle the grave issues that confront us with grim determination and discipline worthy of a great nation," wrote Wahla.
