These people have so much time in their hands....instead of wasting their time and energy in this way, they could do million other things to make their country a better place.

I agree with Jal_Pari these kind of actions do not worry the government because they are not offering any solutions. The affect of these actions is the same as when the psychologist tells the patient to punch the pillow and 'let it all out'. So these actions only waste the energy of the Ummah. The Ummah must realise that without the consent of our leaders America can't reach Afghanistan.

It is our leaders that must be removed and the khilafah be established which will stand up for Muslims.

The US had their shield when it was attacked so they sent their troops now where's our shield so that we can send our troops and protect the Muslims?

jal pari,scarface!!!!! u know wat i dont agree with u ..u know when u dont have jobs u dont have any profession or business.than wat u gain is just frustration and anger so when u dont have any job thats the only thing u doo just go into streets gather a few other jobless people and do the same thing the ppl in pak are doing now ...so basicly its hard to say hows the goverment going to solve that issue..

I think they have the right to protest, but throwing stones or blazing tyres should not be part of it.

Usually these people are let go afterwards as Pakistan police has other more dangerous people to lock up! Trust me ;-)
