Author,

Typically uninformed Shamimist analysis which is so common. If he was abandoning the movement for personal safety, he wouldn`t have had a group of 60 girls accompanying him who tried to create a diversion at the registration stage. Instead, he would have tried to escape in secret.

Most likely, he may have been going for some rendezvous with an allied outfit/leader.

Also the author Madam Shamim is not aware that the actual commander of the `Ninja Brigade` is his wife Umme-Hassan, who is still in command on the 4th day of siege with well over a thousand Hafsa girls while just 350 (excluding the 60 who were part of his plan) have left. In contrast, almost all the unarmed Jamia Faridia boys in the mosque surrendered on the second day. The armed men inside Hafsa still resisting are the `helpers`, not students.

But Shamimists are not supposed to be aware of - let alone ponder - over details. Are they? :)

I think you are very good fiction and story reader. It was good to read the plot.

Second i would like to say something to zeemax, dude i have been seeing you here from the day i start coming on this site, there is no conversation in which you don`t interact, good and keep it up and i hope during this time either you will become more towards ``Islamic Thought`` or will leave them. Best wishes for you.

Re: # 1

AUNTY AZIZ is a phony just like all other self-professed jihadist. Mdm Umme Hassan for all we know may have taken the first bus out of lal Mandir, then again wtf cares.

How quickly u forget, was it not very long ago when the jahil taliban had their asses whipped and handed on a platter, yet they conti nue to believe things will change on their own.

Kepp spinning cause thats all the moon lady can do.

Maulana Zeemax,

(If he was abandoning the movement for personal safety, he wouldn`t have had a group of 60 girls accompanying him)

Aye he should have the magic number of 72 girls.

(Instead, he would have tried to escape in secret. )

More likely to be caught if escaping alone.

Regards

....is not aware that the actual commander of the `Ninja Brigade` is his wife Umme-Hassan, who is still in command on the 4th day of siege....

Pakistani mosque chief caught as troops lay siege

Excerpt:

``Television showed Aziz after his capture with the top of his burqa pulled off. A balding heavy-set man with a grey bread, police bundled him into a car. Aziz`s wife, Umm-e-Hassan, was also caught while trying to slip away.``

Many more news accounts also report that Umm-e-Hassan has been arrested.

#6/7 by harish_hyd,

It was earlier reported but proved incorrect. She gave a phone interview to GEO yesterday.

Please close down these horrible places of brainwashing the young. It is nauseating to see these young and masum children being turned into violent and hate filled demons by these mullahs.
Burn them down. I am glad Mush is doing the right thing now.

I think the lal masjid surrender is going to be one of the finest victories of a moderate Pakistani nation.

Long live Pakistan!!!

Correction this movies is prodeced by both the Mushi government & Jamia Hafza

you know what i think....

I think that our so called new generation is so arrogant and narrow minded that they are unable to judge between right and wrong. think about the young students sitting inside lal majid. They are blindly following orders. Both lal masjid imams[brothers] CLAIMS that this is so called JIHAD. what the hell, jihad against your muslim brothers??? This is nothing but mass suicide.

On the other hand, mushi doesnot care about pakistan and his` so called golden regime has fuelled this issue at the first place and now many innocent lives are at risk. Beside what can you expect from a dictator.

MUSHI DID IT - MUSHI DID IT - MUSHI DID IT

lol,
I was wondering how long someone would take to blame Musharaf and it did not take long. Another BB/Nawaz lover like discoverer showing his true colors. Dude, One idiot like Zeemax is enough for this website. The girl caught with ``Aunty Aziz`` is the daughter not the wife - by the way. The wife is still trying to have everyone killed from inside. I wonder how long it will take for all of these mullahs and maulanias to just vanish.

You are missing one main character, which is the wife of one of the Molana sahibs.

Total repudiation of the political power of the Masjid is the only solution. The question is how much destruction will the Mullahs allowed to do before someone else will destroy them?

mushy is partly to blame for allowing the lal masjid mullahs to get away with so much for so long that it only emboldened them. that is what happens when you try to do or use anything/anyone to remain in power.

at least now i hope he eliminates all the Lal Masjid terrorists and then takes off his uniform.
i was thinking why don`t the paki commandos use the same tactics that the russian special forces used to rescue the kids from beslan using some kind of nerve gas?

The question to ask is who is the maker or breaker here, the wheeler and the dealer, the hand that holds all the strings, the atchitect of dramas like this one, who will rule us, who will leave, who will be in and who will be out and will stay out, who stays and who disappears, who lives and who dies, this nation has always been suckered into believing one thing or the other like cattle and deprived of life like cattle.

these buggers who masquerade as ulemas are ignoramuses, they have served their utility, used like condoms, they have been discredited in public eye, used like condoms; tomorow there will some one else who will play his part in another drama.

This episode like many others in our past call for serious introspection and reflection.
