The United Kingdom which had not so far back in the history had conquered the world are now begging for mercy. The once-great UK has been brought to its knees by the terrorist groups based in Pakistan. What billions of normal people of former British colonies couldn’t achieve in decades, Pakistan has achieved in just a few years of targeted terrorist attacks.

According to a newsreport published online on ExpressIndia.com the British government has finalized an television advertisement campaign to be aired in Pakistan. The content of the advertisement is fervent appeals to the terrorists to not attack Britain.

Of course the advertisement will feature prominent British Muslims and claim that Britain is a “Islam-friendly” and “Muslim-friendly” state and that attacking Britain would be equal to attacking Muslims. The advertisement campaign funded by British Foreign Office will cost a whopping £400,000 (approximately Rs 2.9 crore).

According to newsreports the campaign is targeted at “15-25-year-old males who are less than well-educated and worldly wise, but potentially susceptible to extremist doctrines”. Nine 30-second commercials, supported by ads on radio, will be aired on PTV, Geo TV and Khyber among other channels. If the Pakistani campaign is successful, it will be extended in Egypt, Yemen and Indonesia.

Personally speaking I don’t know whether to rejoice or to cry. On one side I am happy that the British who had trampled across several civilizations including the Indian Subcontinent are now being paid back in their own coin. They are now begging for mercy at the same place where their ancestors enjoyed supremacy and committed untold atrocities on the populous. On the other hand, British Crown which didn’t deem it fit to apologise for the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre are now kneeling in front of a bunch of Islamic Bandits.

I remember a quote from Churchill during World War II when he said something like: “I’d support even the devil himself against Hitler” referring to Stalin. Now the Islamic terrorist groups such as the Al-Qaeda, Taliban etc are no less than Hitler’s Nazis. They want to cleanse the whole world and make it Islamic. So the British bending backwards in front of a few terrorist groups is wrong. But what can they do... they are powerless infront of their own fundamentalist population (of Muslims of course).

I wonder what the reaction of Pak-based terrorist groups would be to the advertisement campaign... will they stop the attacks or will there be a renewed vigour in targeting Britain??? Only time will answer.
