In the caption of the poll, Moeed sarcastically said the Afghan Taliban have defeated America with the power of faith and divine support.
He added that the imposition of Sharia will further empower them in the country, suggesting Pakistani women to opt for wearing Hijab to make their country powerful too.
Afghan Taliban have defeated America with the power of faith & divine support; imposition of Sharia will further empower them; we need to follow them with Sharia to become more successful; as first step all Pakistani women should start wearing hijab to make us more Powerful!

However, some people including morning show host Abdullah Sultan couldn’t understand the satire.
In another post, Moeed Pirzada clarified himself that since satire isn’t understood in Pakistan, he explained his school of thought in simple English.
Then in another tweet, Moeed Pirzada blamed Urdu columnists, websites, and vloggers for creating misunderstandings and wrong conclusions, such as divine help, on why the Taliban were victorious and the US for defeated.
Urdu columnists, websites, bloggers & vlogs have convinced majority of us that Taliban have won because of divine help and faith ignoring the complex political factors behind America’s failure in creating a broad based Afghan political structure. We mustn’t draw wrong conclusions
