Re: Lal Masjid Siege Thread - Operation Silence (merged)
Can’t you see the difference between people behind TUQ and lal-Masjid goons? Let me explain:
People behind TUQ: was demanding government to implement constitution of Pakistan (they were not doing anything unlawful but was asking government to do what law demands) … that is, to make sure people who would contest election fulfills the requirements mentioned in article 62 and 63 of constitution for the post. They were not threatening any civilians or wanting them to follow what they believe. They were not threatening shop-keepers or burning shops or have taken up arms to challenge government writ. TUQ followers did not kidnapped and harassed anyone. TUQ followers did not occupy any government building and wanting government to give that building to them, neither they occupied private plots. They were not land grabbers who were fighting government so that government should not implement laws on them.
Lal-Masjid Rascals: They were demanding that government interfere with people’s life by enforcing laws they believe to be Islamic and not only that, but they were threatening people around them, burning shops and harassing people they did not liked according to their beliefs regardless of what Pakistani laws say … and they were doing all this without any legal status. These people openly took up arms and was threatening government writ. These people occupied many private and government plots to extend the Mosque and their Madrasa, and later occupied government buildings demanding that those building should be given to them. They were also asking government that not to implement laws on illegally occupied lands where they have raised building and declared that as Madrasa or Mosque.
Hmmm … I know you are very resourceful and know people from both side. Now, be innovative too. Take the case to court (or make family of those killed take the case to court) demanding that court should investigate and force government to acknowledge innocent girls got killed, and then force government to pay compensation to the family of killed girls. I am sure if you would do that then we all would know as it would be in news and you will get ‘sawab’ too, as you will be helping family of victims who you know. But if you are not going to do that or could not do that (because what you mentioned is just BS), then please be courageous to accept that all what you mentioned are propaganda full of lies. ![]()
Trapped?
Such a big bearded Mullah who brought life in Islamabad to standstill for months got trapped? No chance … All what these thugs did were intentional and wilfully. These thugs wanted to bring the government to their knees ![]()
Well, they harassed video shops and god knows how many other shops … but is that fine? Entering someone house and accuse them of dhanda then kidnap them, harass them and force them to make confessions, is that fine?
Let see: If I go to my local ‘Ice-cream’ shop along with burqa-posh danda bardar fitna-brigade and harass them to close the shop because I do not like Ice-cream, consider that it is biddah to eat or sell Ice-cream as Prophet (SAW) as far as I know never ate or sold ice-cream neither any Sahaba did, then would that be fine and government should not stop me, or do anything about it?
How about me along with my Burqa-posh danda bardar fitna-brigade enters house of a ‘Jiala’ and kidnap him/her on charges that he/she is corrupt, then force him/her to confess that he/she is corrupt, then would that be fine?
If I raise a Burqa-posh danda bardar fitna-brigade and occupy local library, attack local school, burn government buildings, challenge and beat police, even kill some civilians and fire on army killing their officers … and all I do in capital city and make life in capital city stand still … then is that fine?
And after doing all that, rather much more, if government lets me do all fitna and mayhem for more than 6 months just warning me to stop all this fitna … and after 6 months when government decided to force me to surrender then I issue threat to government that I have suicide bombers and show that I have many men armed with AK-47 … and explicitly tell government that I do not want to surrender nor stop my fitna, then is it fine that government do not act and let me carry out with my fitna?
And if government uses army to act, making most of my burqa-posh fitna-brigade to surrender leaving hard-core armed fitna-bridage with me, then my staunch fitna-brigade starts armed conflict with army, resulting in shoot-out killing some army men and later army kills most of my staunch fitna-brigade amongst whom many wanted terrorists were also present (around 80 killed and around 50 surrendered) … and in the end … if army succeeds in eliminating my outlaw fitna-brigade relieving people from fitna and bringing law-and-order in capital, then would that be wrong?
I think what government did was right though they acted too leniently and too late.
