It is very clear from the case of Lal Masjid, that even Pakistan cannot afford such fanatics and cleaned up the mess. India should learn something from the neighbour.

thanks for ur reply.
its gud that you respect the value and dignity of human life.
but the people holed up in lal masjid are terrorists who lack the very basic understanding of value and dignity of human life.
so how would you deal with them?
as i am typing this, BBC tells me the rabid cleric and the terrorists inside the mosque have been killed in a strike by the paki security forces.
good riddance of bad rubbish

im sure if the same had happened in india sonia lalloo and prathibha patil would have invited the muslim cleric for chai at 7, race course road in delhi.

all the terrorists would have been decorated with civilian awards. mahesh bhatt would have produced another movie with emraan hashmi in the lead about how the mind of a secular terrorist works.
javed akhthar and shabana azmi would have sung shairees in their praise.

and if any one would have demanded action against the terrorists they would have been branded communal and saffron.

Makes one wonder who are real bosses of Muslim organizations like IML, SIMI and rest – they dance at Pakistan’s whims.

Commies, Congress and Samajwadi Party are strangely silent too – not the smallest protest from them … just imagine the rukus they would have created if something like lal masjid attack happened in India.

Also, just imagine what would have happened if there was even a simple search operation carried out in masjids in “SECULAR” India – it would have been a riot situation. While an proclaimed Islamic nation like Pakistan has no qualms in attacking a masjid when the government is threatned.

Thanks for sharing the information I lacked.

I am new to this blog. After reading the first post “As ye sow, so shall ye reap”, my question to Shantanu and the forum was – “are we rejoicing (as Hindus/Indians) over whatever is happening in our neighbourhood?”

In fact, I was questioning the intent of the posting. However, Shantanu’s other posts and comments have already made it clear.

I would tend to disagree with you on people deserving to getting killed. I am a firm believer of the value and dignity of human life, over and above the religious ideologies and social systems.
