It is very unfortunate that TTP has declared the entire constitution of Pakistan un-Islamic. Being an Islamic state the constitution was passed by a Parliament where the majority of the members were Muslims in 1973. If the TTP finds the constitution against Islam, they have to get elected by the process which Islam believes in. The process where majority stands in their favor to amend or change and introduce pro Islamic laws through consultation in this country or any country they wish to rule.
They need to persuade the people of Pakistan, that the kind of Islam they are propagating is the true Islam, according to our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He invited people with love and kindness to accept Islam, they were never forced, nor bombed or butchered in the name of Islam. His actions inspired non Muslims to convert, his teachings show kindness for all humans and even animals. Islam teaches peace and it is against violence.
But the so called pro-Islamic TTP uses violence to spread their own brand of Islam.
Though everyone knows that Pakistan is riddled with corruption and needs to change through tough laws, they exist, but the need for implementation is present. Our government needs to look at providing education, health, security and justice to all its citizens equally. If the government ensures all of the above there will be no space for such deadly organizations like TTP to misguide people. They pry on the insecurities of the masses. They target the uneducated and frustrated people in the name of religion. These so called ‘Taliban’ teach the poor their own brand of Islam which is completely unacceptable to any educated and understanding Muslim!
