What Lies Beneath: Dispatch from the Frontlines of the Burqa Brigades

Re: # 516

Pee wax,

{ I see nothing wrong with wearing a head-scarf ... that`s all they want ... really ...}

Head scarfs, Abayas, Burqas can come very handy for the neik parveen floozies in Lahore and many other places. I totally agree and endorse your observation.

...contd...#514

And Pakistan is NOT Afghanistan ... is it too tough to comprehend my Dear? How do you equate Islamic rule in Pakistan with Afghanistan. What is common in the two countries?

#512 by cliftonbridge,

I`m only wondering how come they changed their mind overnight when till yesterday they were howling for an all-out assault (head scratching).

Latest from Dawn News (great news channel, still in test transmission):

Tribal Jirga of Bajaur announces Civil War if Lal Masjid issue is not resolved peacefully.

Re: # 513

these are the same type of tribal jigah`s that rountinely advocate gang rape.

Zee if MQM people want to do something right you think its automatically pointless because of MAY 12th. Meanwhile if the talibanists want to do something wrong you think its automatically poignant because they are talibanists. Thats pretty hardcore fundamentalism and irrational to boot.
Anyway i think you are very misguided about religious extremists. I wish you would admit sometimes that the mullahs may be right about some things but the sum total of their rule would be pit and the pendulum style disregard for human life and subhuman treatment for women and minorities.
As for the FATA voting taliban .....they are the stupidest people in the world. Neighboroing taliban land has already had their asses handed to them on a plate ....its easy to be part of pakistan and talk big about the taliban. How many of these fools or any fools anywhere would want to go live in afghanistan?
Thanks to the frikkin taliban afghanistan has been reduced to rubble and instead of learning from that a bunch of God damn fools want to play the same loosing game in Pakistan? boggles the mind. Must be darwinism.

{if MQM people want to do something right you think its automatically pointless because of MAY 12th}

Not only that, but from its very beggining all it has known is violence. MQM knows only one language and that is of violence.

Do you get that?

This exchange of pictures is sick (with the exception of Urstruly`s picture which is historic).

For god`s sake... please grow up everyone.

#508 zeemax {``Didn`t we see their `sharafat` on 12 May? ``}

Maalox,
You mean the Cinco de Mayo celebration that was delayed by a week in Karachi, when the PPI and other armed thugs went out looking for a gunfight and found one?

#505 by bubba,

Yeah. This is the good one. And some idiot here is saying it is because of their `sharafat`. Didn`t we see their `sharafat` on 12 May?

Urstruly writes <<< But this time the resistance has emerged from the grass roots among the young and students - the necessary ingredient for an popular revolution. >>>

This mullah is not part of the grassroots in any way, his types are very expedient for the ``neo colonials`` when they decide their adjustments to control things in the colonized country, read the history where those whom you call ``sell outs`` were doing something real but were ruined by the Mullah who, just like this mullah, were given support and authority by the powers that be, i.e. the Neo colonial elite, from Pakistan, to Afghanistan to Iran, to Iraq to Egypt to Palestine this has been their strategy and never has any good come to the ``grassroots`` by these distractions of the mullahs.....only someone biased to the highest degree can ignore these facts, the mullah serves the neo-colonials moreso than any apparent confrontation which only serves to strenghten the grip of the enslavers...

#500 Urstruly,
Very clever and devilish of you to use this sad treatment of Mohajirs` ancestors to advance your own stupid cause. First you come out for the ill treatment of Mohajirs then you use shameful pictures of their ancestors getting blown to bits. What were your gora-ass licking ancestors doing in 1857?

#496 rf786 {``Salim Mian,
I can only pray for your ideas to be successful, but we must not humanize these terrorists, they will not accord u the same latitude, nor do they deserve to be treated with anything but contempt.``}

Bismillah Bhai,
By acting humanely we are neither humanizing the terrorists nor giving them any latitude. Although some of the prettier ninjas do deserve our longitude and altitude. :)

True Islam means being kind to your adversaries - Saladin was effective because he was very different from the cruel and bloodthirsty Crusaders.

It all started 150 years and 2 months ago with this:





The British left in 1947 but left their pet hound dogs to terrorize and rule over the people of Pakistan as proxies. These hound dogs were the collaborators who helped the foreign occupation and oppression of 600 million possible. One of these lapdogs was British Indian Army that changed its name to Pakistan Army for obvious reasons after 1947. The vassal mindset thrived and evoloved into creating a new Westernized corrupt ruling class that has no qualms even over committing genocide of this nation in order to keep this nation with in thier talons of oppression. Since genocide of 1971, which was perpetrated by this very rogue army, was not enough to wake this nation up, the Islamabad school masacar is. Lal Masjid is not the end, it is the beginning. There is no turning back from here.

I am glad that finally the nation has decided to rise up against the oppressors and the first call for freedom has been raised through the minaret of a mosque again (after 1857). It is tragic, but it is a fact that the liberal class in pakistan, whether of religious variety aka sirkari moulvis or of atheist variety has turned out to be total sell- out. Every one of them has made deals with devil to maintain the status quo. But this time the resistance has emerged from the grass roots among the young and students - the necessary ingredient for an popular revolution.

The fact of the matter is that the oppressive dictatorial regime has lost the first battle already - militarily, morally and legally. The proof of their defeat is that no matter what they do, it turns out to be working against them. They insulted a cleric, who surrendered to make peace, by forcing him to put on a burqa on national TV and yet it is them who are receiving la`anat from all over Pakistan. The success of this struggle for freedom is guaranteed because all the oppressive neo-colonial world powers have chosen to own the oppressors instead of people. This is the best any freedom loving red blooded Paksitani should hope for.

Re: # 500

Did they use women and children as human shields?

tahmed writes <<< wrt dadullah and zarqawi - those were no doubt displayed in newspapers/magazines, but were released with a purpose: as proof that the terrorist was in fact dead. not with the intent of mocking those bodies. . >>>

Here is the basic sickness that affects tahmed`s mind. The US elite broke every rule in the book, violated the geneva convention in how they have handled prisoners of war, displayed dead and mutilated bodies and humiliated those they have overpowered, yet this miserable sob invents ways to sanitize their barbarism while pointing fingers at others. What the US does on a large scale these petty terrorists he picks to advertise do on a much smaller scale, their doings are advertised for shock ``theatrical`` value while all their higher barbarism is meticulously hidden through distration and information overload, sometimes released for strategic purposes or for damage control when leaks occur.

Don`t think you can reason with tahmed, he worships the US elite unconditionally, Reasoning with Ghazi is relatively easier than reasoning with a-holes like him....
