Lal Masjid
Lal Masjid is an issue which people use against Musharraf because they have nothing else to say against him, lal masjid is for those people who believe that Pakistan should be a banana republic, its for those people who have no lives and no other issue to discuss in Pakistan and who are just surviving and ranting about that one issue all the time.
Its simple no civilised state tolerates anyone carrying guns and taking over children’s libraries, it was a basic law and order situation so had to be dealt with specially it being in Islamabad….Islam does not believe in violence, children who learn the Quran the way they should cant be coming out on the streets and instigating hatred, coz that’s not Islam, Prophet Muhammad spread Islam through his personality and through his good deeds, people were impressed by his personality and the way he use to treat others fairly and not harm anyone and he was very forgiving.Thats what people liked about Islam.
We all have read the Quran and read namaz if not 5 times than as much as we can, not good enough but reality. We all read Quran along with getting education. People living abroad read the Quran. So, I don’t see why children should be locked up in a mosque and all they do all day and all their life is listen to a mullah.
The people running lal masjid were on a different agenda, they had links with al-Qaeda and Taliban. Otherwise why would a mosque built so weirdly in design especially from inside, why would it having drawings of Kalashnikov on the wall and it urge for Jihad. Why would you have restrictions on students meeting their parents?
Why would a Maulvi get caught with weapons in his car as Maulana Abdul Aziz was caught with weapons in his car? Why would the imam of a mosque where he teaches children Quran need to carry a gun in his car? (The government according to ijaz-ul-haq caught Abdul Aziz but still let him off)
As the Jihadis influenced by the stupid Taliban had links with the lal masjid their plan was to spread extremism in Pakistan and lal masjid would be a good launching pad as it is in ISLAMABAD.
That’s why Abdul Aziz needed to keep guns in the mosque, that’s why the children were brainwashed to become Jihadis, that’s why they had gas masks in the mosque (who would have gas masks in a mosque), that’s why you saw so many young men carry guns as soon as the police surrounded them, which mosque has a gun keeping policy???
You can’t live in a mosque in the capital of a country and walk around with pistols in your hands, that’s just a joke.
For months prior to the fateful standoff, the Lal Masjid brigade kidnapped, harassed and extorted common citizens and foreign guests to further their cause of cleansing society’s ills. During these months, after each emboldened step, the media and intelligentsia questioned the government's resolve in dealing with militants in the heart of Islamabad. Time after time, talk show after talk show, the comments were the same, "the government needs to bring this violence to an end." How, no one dared to offer a solution. When the Musharraf government surrounded the Red Mosque, and gave repeated ultimatums to the people inside to come out and surrender and no harm would come of them, the media called it an "amazing act of patience" to not storm the mosque or launch an operation. However, most of the politicos, pundits and talk show hosts were calling for a military operation to end the standoff.
At the 10th hour, numerous religious leaders stepped forward to attempt to negotiate the release of the people and the surrender of the Ghazi brothers. Failed. A group of political leaders went to the Red Mosque to attempt the same, only to see failure. Television networks continued to give the Lal Masjid brigade's leaders free air time to entice public opinion to the plight that they were suffering at the hands of the government and military. Cries were made for "safe passage" in exchange for the hostages. No deal. Meetings went on at the President and Prime Minister houses searching for a solution that would not cost any lives, none could be agreed upon. Then late one night, the military offensive started against the Red Mosque.
It was an almost immediate position change by the media from demanding action be taken to calling the military operation a "tragedy" and in the same breath, the people that not hours ago were militants, became martyrs. Militant to martyr in the blink of an eye? Why not? When in Pakistan, you can go from criminal to President with the swipe of a pen, why does this seem so impossible?
No one knows the figures of how many people died in the lal masjid, people in Pakistan exaggerate everything, clueless liars, but the mosque was surrounded for a long time so if GHAZI the idiot had any sympathy with any kid left in the mosque than he should’ve forced them to leave the mosque, if any innocent kid died than Ghazi should be blamed for it.
The lal Masjid was not a day’s event, it went on for months, all that time the government ignored what they were doing as they were kidnapping police and foreign citizens at will, what government in the world would allow that?
The action had to take place and the fools who think it shouldn’t have happened than go live in the lawless areas of Waziristan as that’s where people with your thinking belong, hypocrites who go to foreign countries and praise them of how law exists their and how police is strong but when their own government in Pakistan tries to be tough than they quickly turn against it, HYPOCRACY nothing else.
The reality is that the terrorist Ghazi is dead the only bad thing out of this is that his wife Umey something what ever her name is, was the cause of the people who died but she escaped herself, she should’ve been killed as well as she lives on to spread shit around and corrupt the minds of so many JAHILS.
Clearly if you have innocent children sitting along with you in the mosque and military action is imminent than common sense suggests that the children should’ve been forced to leave, but clearly if their were any than they were very small in numbers and also were forced to stay in the Mosque as human shields by the Ghazi’s.
So surely they are to blame for this, army sitting outside the mosque before an operation can only negotiate and give you time, no one can be entirely sure of the number of people inside, other than the people in charge inside, which in this case were the ghazi’s. So their moral responsibility was to force out any children and women if indeed some didn’t leave after 8 days of army siege.
Musharraf bashers believe thousands were killed, well its very hard to dig graves of 94 people and actually bury thousands in their, thousands killed cant be hidden as the army within the next day or so took journalists to tour the mosque and above all the thousands who allegedly died, mainly children where are their parents gone or relatives??? No one stays quite for their loved ones death, so why don’t we see any protests or cases being registered by the thousands of parents whose kids died in the mosque?
Its just utter nonsense and lies to think that even after 8 days siege of the mosque their will still be children sitting bravely inside living through the constant gun fire from within and outside of the mosque, to believe that thousands of people who died their relatives would just stay quite and disappear once Musharraf left, its strange to think that thousands were just burnt alive and it could’ve been hidden this easily specially after the media was toured around the very next day or so.
Some events come down to an individuals own basic common sense, logic, exploring the motives of the actions taken, but anti-Musharraf people have none of that they just blindly follow what their self interested lying and hypocrite leaders say.
Common sense suggests that it was a simple law and order situation in the capital and more than enough tolerance was shown by the government, eventually after 8 days siege, giving enough time for people to leave and also giving incentives in the form of money and continuous negotiations, ghazi and his terrorists refused to surrender for which the forces had to go in and on receiving resistance they had to fight their way through which resulted in deaths of security forces as well as the terrorists and we know that total 94 deaths occurred, we believe that more because a credible person like Musharraf himself has said that.
That’s enough for us despite lies and utter nonsense by anti-Musharraf people they have no proof but only the agenda to deceive their way to undermining Musharraf and use it for their political gains.
