Lal Masjid Massacre

i dont know about others people and their knowledge about lal masjid and jamia hafsa but i 'read views and opinions of different people and sorry to say most of them were not right in their approach.i being a pakistani,not only living in islamabad but also only on 10 minutes drive from sector G-6 where all it happened.

My respected dukhtar Sayeda

I am amazed at your profound observations.

I was in Pakistan when the first few episodes of this drama were being dircted. You are right, our good old gone past his shelf date Mush is dancing to his Washington and Tel Aviv masters' gallery for nothing other than his survival.

All of this was set up after Dick Chenny's Islamabad visit and the now famous shouting match about the US plight in Afghanisan. The poor chap had to do something, when it's just a uniform you have, you can not afford to give it up.

This is false propaganda

Master, is there also some unfalse propaganda?

My most wise friend, please, could you enlighten us just on one simple matter and, I beg thee Master, without shouting abuse at us lesser mortals:

What is the only gift, recorded in the annals of history, that dictators leave their subjects other than extremism, violence and also civil war of the type that poor country is now facing in N W F P and Baluchistan?

ISLAMABAD, July 12 (APP): Mediamen visited the Jamia Hafsa here on Thursday and saw the centre of the militancy, which exposed the tall claims of the madrassa management about promotion of Islamic Education. The visit left no doubt that instead of being a seminary imparting religious education, it was a centre of militancy, according to a PTV report.

The government had held repeated negotiations with the management of Lal Masjid to save the lives of maximum number of innocent children and women, but all these efforts proved futile in the face of rigidness of Maulana Abdul Rashid Ghazi Naib Khateeb of the seminary.

Finally in the early hours of July 10 the law enforcing agencies had to launch an operation against the extremists in the Jamia Hafsa.

At roof top of the Jamia Hafsa extremists had piled up sand bags to make their pickets and resort to firing on the security forces.

The operation by security forces against the extremists continued almost 36 hours during which the militants gave strict resistance.

The ammunition, rocket launchers, machine guns, hand grenades, petrol bombs and suicide bombing equipment recovered from the Jamia Hafsa are indicative of the large scale preparations made by the militants for confrontation.

The children studying in the Madrassa were used to be brain washed and given military training.

All the male and female students were not allowed to go home, while their parents were kept at distance from them whenever they come to meet.

The rooms for meeting between parents and children were so constructed that they remained separated by a net of iron rods, presenting the scene of the meeting place in a jail rather than in a madrassa.

The rooms give the impression that the parents were meeting with dangerous criminals not their children.

The people of Pakistan are solely responsible for all their misfortunes today.They were responsible for electing the most corrupt leaders like nawaz sharif and the bhutto family.

Gen Pervez Musharaff  stepped in with good intentions to stabilize the country when it was going to the dogs.  Unfortunately the fanatics who are bent on  taking pakistan on the pathway to destruction have put him in a tight spot and the common man in pakistan has to pay the ultimate price.

Unfortunately pakistan has become a classical example of a failed islamic state solely due to the machinations  of  religious right wing  fanatics.
