Wa'alaykum As-Salam

I agree with you that it is our fault as Muslims that we are getting trashed all over the place and it is not only Pakistan that we are talking about. The whole ummah is in great pain and suffering due to the very reason that we went away from the deen. People let heretics hijacked the deen, continuing to follow them and refused to learn the correct Islam and in the end many hizb (parties) formed and fitnah rose among the ummah. Due to all this, we got corrupt leaders and they are equally responsible for this fitnah, loss and disunity--A Muslim killing another Muslim. The state of the ummah in every land is not going to improve until we decides to improve ourselves.

As far concerning the issue of jihad and jihadi parties, I'm not a scholar or student of knowledge, so I don't know weather their actions must be condemned or justified. As far as I know some of the contemporary scholars differ on this. However, one thing is clear that Islam doesn't allow suicide bombing or killing innocent civilians.
