Re: lal masjid 2.0
^^ what it boils down to is that these terrorists are using the mosque as a staging area for terrorist activities.
they use mosques because they believe the sanctuary status of the mosque will protect them from being attacked.
and so it is longer considered a mosque, but a mosque under occupation of terrorists
and thus, the army has the validity to go in there and blow these terrorists up
What it boils down is your plan is for a short sighted victory which if not followed up with proper measures will not last very long. Its not about being a mosque. If tomorrow they hole up in a hospital and we go blow up the hospital then you also blew up a service that was beneficial for the community and it would need to be replaced otherwise in the process of getting rid of the bothersome elements you have created a long lasting headache for the people of that community and the next thing that will happen is militants will start exploiting their sentiments and ta da recruits galore.
