I am grateful to the Pakistan Army for taking action against the terrorists of Lal Masjid. We should be grateful to the Pakistani Army Jawans and Army Martyrs, who sacrificed their lives to protect us from these terrorists.

The government took action to get rid of the terrorists who had occupied Lal Masjid, threatening every citizen of Islamabad and were creating a law and order situation. I am grateful that the Government took the action to protect the citizens of Islamabad; otherwise these terrorists would have turned Islamabad into a living hell. It is a shame that the Supreme Court is asking the Government to compensate the terrorists of Lal Masjid and it does not ask the Government to protect people of Pakistan from the terrorists and compensate peaceful Pakistani citizens, who are killed every day by these terrorists. I fail to understand why Supreme Court is doing this?????? Has any member of the Lal Masjid Brigade joined the Supreme Court bench???? God protect Pakistan from crazy people.

You cannot justify turning a mosque into an ammunition depot , that as well in a Muslim country

Well said Baber. Most don’t realize that taking on the State is not an option for any one of us. It weakens the cohesion of our state and nation and cannot be allowed by any functioning government/state. Too bad you got so many thumbs down for the facts and the truth you have stated. Shows how off the moral compass is for many folks that they cannot realize that a wrong is a wrong. If you have problems with immorality, teach people instead of taking on the Government with guns and bombs. If you insist then the Government has all the right to confront and make you accountable to the law.

Many witnesses are gone, some died, some forgot what happened, and some changed their minds, some persuaded to be on the other side. I wonder, if an honest, objective investigation can be done in a situation where nothing is transparent or original.

To say people inside were not militants shows your own bias.

lal majid was more of a dual camp – prayers vs trainging camp for jihad

The editorial has put the event correctly. There is going to be an investigation into the episode with keeping in mind that a mosque has been used for terrorists purposes that is not the purpose of a mosque.

This is a good step to find out as to what really happened and who were responsible for this tragic episode.

It seems you have already made up your mind that the occupants of the Lal Masjid were the cause and not the victims of the operation. Claims that “Lal Masjid forces had rebelled against the Pakistani state,” equating “state” with “government” and the assumption that the people inside the mosque were “militants” speak for the bias the writer appears to carry against the Lal Masjid occupants.
