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

Re: # 571

chennai,

..... you are right ..... the best thing the government can do for these kids is to take them away from their parents and send them to regular schools where they can get a fair shot at recovery ........ if somone sets up a fund for this purpose i would be willing to pay the expenses for a couple of these unfortunate kids ........

...... thanks for your concern ......... ideologues like philosopher and zeemax are devoid of humanity and like their messiah, abdul rashid ghazi, they love death more than most people love life ...........

I will sponsor one girl child`s education.

Re: # 592

Thanks for your gesture.......I think more than funds the important thing is to ensure that we have a working mechanism in place for counselling these kids.....

Re: # 577

Dear hamidm2 ........I am not sure how well the Govt (Any Govt) is equipped to handle this........We need professional child physcologists for this.......not sure how many are there in Pakistan.......

Your suggestion on a fund is most welcome.....I second it.....We need a good number cruncher to work out the details.....I am generally wary of funds being sent to the sub-continent.........You know why......However the over riding issue is to get these kids back to a semblance of normalcy.......More suggestions are welcome.............

the serpent`s egg ...........

......... when i made the statement that a 5000 pound bomb should be dropped on the snake pit, many had jumped up and forced me to reconsider my statement .......... even i thought it was a bit extreme and, truth be told, i was a little ashamed of my insensitivity ...... now, in retrospect, i think i was right the first time around ....

.......... it is a shame and a crime that innocent security forces people had to die because they wanted to save women who will now go out to bear more jihadis, and children who will grow up to become bloody murderers ........... all those miserable lives are not worth one dead pakistani soldier .........

Chooray......why are you so concrened about pakistani soldiers when you hate the ideology they are supposed to fight for??Its none of your Mussalli business what pakistani soldiers and fundamentalist are up to....Just don`t interfere in our internal matters....I have already told you in my #318 that by ridiculing islam you wont get your favourite bottle of gao-muttar.

Just go and think about making a new flavour of `ice cream` with your mussalli brain.We are tired of that old flavour.

Maybe double paning stops bullets in India... I merely concerned about the Islamabadi Monsoon season that is on our heads...

Indians are enjoying themselves....whichever way this goes, it makes pakiland look even more like a jihadi cesspool...looks like you may beat out afghanistan in next years failed states ranking...sudan...watch out...

Re: # 557

You`ve been repeating this mantra for years. Meanwhile KSE 100 crossed 14000 yesterday and KSE 30 crossed 17000 ....

So looks like the erstwhile Indian pipedream of seeing Pakistan whither away... is going to be a pipedream after all.

Indians really need to get a hold of themselves...

I am in Islamabad... in my home, more or less 3 kilometres away from the Lal Masjid battle and the only disturbance of peace I am feeling is from the workers double paning the windows of my house...

Granted that these people in the mosque were Pakistan Army`s own old operatives from the Afghan War and the ``Jehad`` against communism... but seriously what is it that has happened?

A bunch of fundos got up... and tried to bite the hand that fed them... the hand that fed them has now strangled them.

Giving us moralistic lectures of ``as you sow, so shall you reap`` is ridiculous... if anything Pakistan Army and ISI has demonstrated that it can create monsters and then kill them with relative ease. If anything... the events of last one week have shown that Islamic fundamentalists have no sympathy from general public... and that the spectre of talibanisation of Pakistan and the great forces of Islamic revolution and the jehadi monster about eat Pakistan up was PAPER THREAT.

Ayaz Amir and Imran Khan were right in so much when they said that there is no talibanisation possible in Pakistani society...and Pakistan Army is the valve that controls the jehadi flow so to speak.

Re: # 554

ylh,

..... when we called my in-laws in f/8 at 7 this morning they had no idea what was going on! ............ and here we were glued to geo and ary and worried sick about what was going on ......... the double pane windows must work !

........ i partly agree with your statement that ``Ayaz Amir and Imran Khan were right in so much when they said that there is no talibanisation possible in Pakistani society`` ......... it is true in the punjab, sindh and most of baluchistan, but the frontier (and fata) is another story ....... as someone on bbc pointed out this morning, there are two pakistans - let`s hope your pakistan wins .............

Re: # 554 Mantolives, old bean (hey is that English enuf for the Cheltenham Dweller like yourself), for a lawyer you are rather careless with your choice of words when you asy

``Pakistan Army is the valve that controls the jehadi flow so to speak.``

Note, these words will come back to haunt you (esp when the Indians point the fingers at the pak army and Jihad).

Re: # 554

Yasser:

A very balanced analysis.

However, for now the world is seeing as something major being put out in the capital of Islamabad. Don`t you think that common wisdom now is that Musharaff`s chips are high, a few months before the elections, who can challenge and win?

Are the new windows bullet proof or impact resistant? You may want to upgrade if you have not.
