that right is given by Islam and if government will not implement them than people will and those who support this operation have not only the blood off innocent people killed by army in thus masjid but also the deaths which we are facing till this datedont know about you once i was going with my sister one of them came to me with a bamboo stick yelling this to my sister "TUM PARDA KIUN NAHI KERTI HO PARDA KERO" it was terrible. who the **** gave them any right to tell me or my sister what to do she was wearing kurta shalwar and had a duppata like traditional women, do so no u are a liar and a big one at that.I cant thank MUSH enough for that operation.
I agree with you here 90% other 10 % I have my own opinion @nuclearpak and others should read these pointsIts like a twilight zone here in PDF. I'll break down why Lal Mosque was an incredibly bad idea.
- It was a mosque. No matter how many people were scared from Mullahs. No matter how much embarrassment it caused Pakistan internationally, it was still a mosque. For common public launching an attack on the mosque by Army sent a very wrong message. Look at the background, Musharraf was considered to be anti-Islam (he made it worse by claiming he wanted Ataturk like system) and Pakistan just had taken a highly unpopular U-turn on Taliban under Musharraf. Attack on mosque gave the extremist elements perfect marketing tool that PA was anti-Islam. A tool which they used quite successfully at masses. Worse media was covering the whole ordeal second by second.
- PA should be aware of how powerful a message will be sent by attacking the mosque. PA has been using the visuals of Indian aggression at that Dargah in Kashmir for a decade. What were the visuals in Lal mosque? Fauji boots in mosque? Half burnt pages of Quran? You think a nation which can go hysterical on Quran burning issue in west would take it sitting down?
- Once the Mullah ran out (the older brother) in Burqah, Musharraf should have acted sanely and used him for leverage. Instead that Mullah was paraded in PTV. I watched the interview of that Mullah, he was still in Burqa (had to remove the face part when interview started). The whole show was to humiliate him, his brother (Ghazi something) watched the whole show and obviously thought it better to keep inside till the end. This mistake ensured that Ghazi will die in the mosque and will become a martyr.
- Frankly speaking, Musharraf had hundred of ways to sort out the Lal mosque issue. Stop the electricity, water and gas, use tear gas to force people to come out (or even bribe them, it would've been much easier).
- When PA had taken a U-Turn on Taliban which were marketed as great Mujahids for two decades and was facing public anger it was the worst stunt Musharraf could have pulled. It gave much needed authenticity to the extremist groups that Musharraf was Anti-Islam and those groups were right in fighting PA.
- Sanity suggests that even if it was a temple and some Hindus had raised the flag of India over it. Don't lose your cool and don't make them martyrs for a cause. Operation will be finished in an hour but martyrs and visuals will live forever. It was an extremely bad idea to attack Lal mosque and it only fragmented the Pakistani society. That is why Dictators are ill equipped to deal with political issues and should remain in barracks ANY politician could have handled it better.
- IF Musharraf had gone that far and damage was done it would have been best to take benefit of fear and relocate major Madrassah out of Islamabad (remove the root cause). Musharraf didn't touch Lal mosque afterwards which gives strength to the notion that he perhaps wanted to project a strong man image and was not really too worried about Lal Mosque.
