ok ppl ... let us stop the blame game .. as to who did this all .....
the only point to be kept in perspective is that ..... It was a really tough time for the country... the issue however raised many questions that require deliberation.
1. Is the govt to be blamed? The outright answer of those who oppose the Musharaf would "Absolutely" and of those who favour him ... "Not At All"
The answer lies somewhere in the middle of it all ... the govt is to be blamed for not have taken concrete steps right at the outset to prevent this outrageous event ..... but how they dealt with the entire thing after things reached the point of no return is absolutely in line with what any responsible govt would do .... I fail to understand y we keep referring to those outlaws as students and innocents who have been slain by the govt ..... I am sure you all must have seen clips of boys, openly brandishing weapons in broad day light right in the heart of the capital ..... the govt showed such a restrain and negotiations, went on for days and days before the final showdown ... but i guess once you lose grip of reality and start living in a euphoria of absolute ideas, you dont want to come to term with facts.
it is easier for anyone to sit here and comment, but that is luxury those who do not afford who are faced with this ordeal ....
let there be absolutely no doubt that the wrath of govt was brought on to the people of Lal Masjid by no one else but the Lal Masjidians themselves I can sit here and reason with anyone on the issue ....
Please give some credit to the govt for being able to get rid of the menace.
I ask u all some very simple question and please reply with utmost honesty
1. How many of you would like to live in a locality, where there is mosque and seemingly illiterate and irrational occupants of that Mosque brandish automatic weapons?
2. How many of you would like to live in a locality, where a illiterate Mulla stops you in the middle of the road and asks you to keep a beard or strict action would be taken against you?
3. How would you like to live in a place, where anyone who has a beard walks around with the authority of telling you how to live?
4. How would you like to live in a place, where you have makeshift bunkers around the corners of every road .. pointing right at you ... whenever you pass by?
5. How about, living in a place where the Mosquians erect barbed wire fences where ever they wish to and tell you not to use a specific route only because they think that blowing a horn or the noise of the traffic destroys the sanctity of the mosque?
6. Or would you like to live in a place where your business of CD shop is burnt down, only because the LORDS do not deem it Islamic?
7. How would you react if i come to you house and tell you to ask your womenfolk to wear BURQA otherwise I would not allow them to come outside the house?
8. How about i walk into your house on day ,,, bringing with me my female accomplices as human shields and take control of the entire place, telling you that "since your house is adjacent to the mosque, therefore it is part of it. U can go to hell, i am taking charge?
If you all think that i am just making it up, trust me ... that is exactly what was going on in that part of Islamabad ..... and more was in the pipeline, if something had not been done?
Just because we dont like Musharaf, does not legitimize the acts of the Lal Masjidians... just because we are against the regime, does not mean that people carrying out the most outrageous acts of lawlessness are innocent.
Be impartial and just think about.....
are you ready to live in a place like that...... if this factor had not been nipped in the bud, therewould have been thousands of Lal Masjids in Pakistan,,,, right where you live ... where i live .... the question being, are you ready to live like that or would you rather be free and make your choices i life, rather than the choices being chosen for you
People of Lal Masjid, got every bit of what they deserved...... I am sorry it had to end like that ... but there was absolutely no other way ... if you think there was ... the house is open .....
