Re: Suicide attack near Aabpara Chowk (merged)
If the govt. had acted straight away in the Lal masjid case instead of playing politics we would have had none of this. Using extremists to further your own agenda is a very dangerous game and more than the govt. the nation has paid for it.
Brother, some 10 to 12 years ago I was talking to some of my friends from JI. (Actually, at one time, ages ago, I was also member of JTI and use to support JI and wanted to have so-called Islamic government in Pakistan). I told them that it is very difficult to impose Islam in Pakistan, because people psyche would not accept that (well, at that time my knowledge of Islam was little and I use to think that JI is icon of Islam). One person, who was quite active in party, told me that not to worry, as slowly we would get hold of all crucial positions in army and would have influence in government, then it would be easy to impose Islam by force.
Now I know what they mean. They know that they could not come to power through democracy. So what they are doing? These people would love to have political parties fighting with each other and looting the country, while they can spread their influence in all crucial government positions, especially army. I believe that if government would not have done crackdown now, probably in near future, we would have seen Taliban like government in Pakistan too. I don’t know, it is possible even now.
Just imagine that instead of President Musharraf, the person in power was someone of Taliban. Now think what would have happened?
