Dear Ms. Coolionness
First of all I would like to clarify some stats. 1,000 people were not killed in the incident. The death toll at the end of the whole episode is 109. This figure includes milliary people which are about 9 or 10, a couple of people or more from media, of course Ghazi himself and his millitant companions. This figure I think manly includes students which were at the outset declared as MUJAHIDINS and ended as hostages. And if someone thinks that 109 is not a very big figure, then he or she is seriously mistaken, 109 lives mean something.
Firstly please justify the case that the students who were initially the part of Ghazi's forces were at the end used by him as hostages to blackmail the govt to let him away.
Secondly, if Ghazi really wanted things to be settled safely without much life losses, were six months not enough for him to go for some peaceful solution. During this whole lal masjid episode both the ghazis repeatedly challenged the govt. I think such a large time frame provided to them is enough for anyone to assess that whether ghazis wanted a peaceful solution or not. At one time the govt is being blammed that why they waited of some less than six months for the operation and at the same time it is also being blammed that some more time should have been given to ghazi. Once again it defys all my logics.
What I assessed from your posts, you are not very much clear about what happened. Apparantly it seems that you think that Abdul Aziz was a part of this govt planned drama and Abdul Rasheed didnt know the game that was being planned. No one may ever know what were the real facts, however, I never think that this could be the case. And if think is for sure had Abdul Aziz been killed you alongwith a big majority had called him a shaheed.
You said that had you been in govt. you would have let Ghazi free, that is the reason that you are not the preident because that requires some mental maturity which in your case I hope will come with time.
I am never a supporter of govt. During the incident my observation regarding the thinking of Pakistani awam is that initially before the operation some were in the favour of Ghazis, as the considered this way of AMAR BIL MARUF fine. Then the operation started and many of those who initially supported ghazis were found saying that this is no way to impose Islam. Especially after the shamefull arrest of Abdul Aziz none of his supporters had anything to justify the case. And then as the things went on all the blames were shifted on govt. I too do blame the govt, however, it never means that the ghazis were justified in their mallicious act. And then Abdul Rasheed's death made him the hero as it is our tradition. PPPs fame increased many time due to the death sentence of Bhutto, Gen Zia who a pretty bad repute among masses was forgiven by the masses due to his tragic plane crash. Similarly Saddam's supported were once again given a chance to call him a hero upon his death. So we people are very courteous in this case.

Dear Mr. Schuaeb,
We all are just guessing about the number of casualties. None of us know that how many got killed? And the reason is once again our Govt. They did not allow the media to do the coverage. Why? Was there something black in the bottom? They even did not allow them to go inside soon after the operation was over. Why? Dont tell me that she was much careful about their security. Actually They were trying to clean up the mess they had made over there. Major Rashid said in his press conference that they did not find any foreigners, neither any suicide bombers. Moreover, he said straight forwardly that the operation was purly govt's decision (may be he was feeling guilty after seeing the scene inside the Lal Masjid).
If i second the govt decision of killing Muslims of my country, then i am MATURE???? Well if this is the case then i better stay immature.
The point is not, to be or not to be the supporter of Ghazi's or Govt. The point is to see that whatever happened was right or wrong? And i say and will continue to say that it was absolutely wrong. For God sake demanding for something right is not a sin. And the person should not be killed for that. I know we have a huge number of such citizens or more widely such Muslims, who are muslims just by names. I being a girl, donot like muslims girls in tight jeans, short shirts and sleeveless shirts. But this is what i see very common in Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi type of cities. I know married womens having extra marital relationships with young unmarried boys. I loathe those womens. Same goes with the men having relationship with girls. Go to Punjab University and see what boys and girls are doing? Go a bit inside Lahore Cantt and see the clubs there. See what the videos shops and filled with. What type of movies and channels coming on our TVs thru cables? You must have seen that channel where they show pakistani theater dramas and shows.
What do you think that these students from Lal Masjid just got up one morning, took the dandaas, went out and kidnaped that lady (i forgot her name..Shameem something) from her house??? Dont you think it would be insane if there was no reason behind that? And what did they do to that lady? I heard frm Dr. Shahid Masaood saying rather writing in a newspaper that that lady was running a Night Bar (Qahbaa Khaana). Dont you think that such people should be the one killed on the spot and not these students????? If our govt has closed the eyes, does it mean that we all should also close ours? What these students has done is like innhon ne Jhanjhora hai awaam ko. Those chinese ladies, were said that they were supplying ladies (Prostitutes) to the Rich class of Islamabad. Dont you think that they should be stopped?
But i confess that the way of Ghazi's were also wrong. This was not the way to tell Govt. But atleast the punishment to them should not be death in any way. And by the way who knows they may had tried some other peaceful ways too?????? Humaray tou apnay politicians, including Musharaf, sab drinkers bhi hain and are involved in other 2 number businesses. They all are corrupt (socially, religiously, mentally, from all ways). Why they will ever like to stop such actitvities going on in country? Woh tou khud sab yehi kaam kar rahay hain. Unhain tou yeh sab acha lagta hai, na ke burra.
Islam is a very soft religion. If Lal Masjid people were wrong in the way they tried to bring rather revive Islam in Pakistan then humari Govt ne kounsa Muslim honay ka saboot diya hai? kounsa koi theek kaam kiya? She should have taken them into confidence. Should have tell them that we are with you, do not worry. We promise that we will think on your demands.
Yaani ke hudd hi ho gaiee hai. Aap apnay parents ki baat na maano tou woh aap ko golee se maar dain?
