Burqa-clad women gather at the Lal Masjid during a conference on Wednesday. Addressing the gathering, they vowed to avenge the deaths of the ‘martyrs’ of the military operation against the mosque in July 2007. afp

  • By looking the above pictute i only feel the dark and the darkness for which these people have vowed in the conference.
    These people should’nt be allowed to impose any thing of their will on the people and the liberties.I am always sure that even if you allow these poeple to impose their will,they will bring the darkness in the current era with the worst nightmare with their backward policies.
    They dont have any vision and wisdom.Our country people are the witness of the worst atrocities done by these ladies/gentlemen in Islamabad by imposing their restrictions.
    May we and the future generations should be save from this Darkness!!

  • Grand Reconciliation is needed…..
    All the live and dead characters of our history should be brought to the confession box….especially all those who introduced….the use of religion for the political motives…
    From Muslim League to jamate islami….to Jihadis…..I feel just pitty for them all

  • and what is the LIGHT in islamabad if this is the DARK…… the debauchery that goes on among the goody good elites. the massage parlours where the sluts massage male clients and later sleep with them. the dance parties where alcohol and drugs are taken and casual sex is common. the bunglows where girls of respectable families prostitute themselves for a few thousand rupees to meet their luxurious lifestyle.

    is that that LIGHT in islamabad ?

    im not judging all of the above. everyone should be free to do whatever they want. but dont call this LIGHT.

    im not judging

  • I think “light” is the fact that a group of Pakistani women managed to mobilize themselves so effectively (for the first time in our history?), and “darkness” the fact that it was all done to impose Sharia law! The irony…

    44 suicide attacks between July-Dec 2007…. I don’t thnk any involved a burqa clad woman. Not sure how serious they are about threatening to wreck vengeance…

  • Aligram,

    How about Bacha Khan and his nefarious alliance with the first such militant from waziristan faqir of Ipi.

    How about the Congress party of khan sbs which was allied with Deobandi fanatics (the kind that lal masjid are) against Pakistan.

    I support your contention but I am afraid more than the Muslim League, this would entail bring out and hanging people you seem to think were your heroes like Gandhi (for side stepping secular Muslims like Jinnah and bringing deobandi fascists in the khilafat movement) and Bacha Khan -the first major political leader to support Faqir of Ipi’s Jehad against Pakistan, British and the Hindus.

    Ironic- I think so.

  • Mr Handani sb
    By viewing your thoughts continously….I realized a pure jamaatia….is in the disguise…and misspelling my name as aligram…I am sure how people like U hate and trying to humiliate them…who did not agree to them…in a particular issue…..U are for sure a maududi….one

  • The definition of ‘light’ and ‘dark’ is all relative, and unfortunately derived by a male dominated society.
    Here’s a post that would throw some ‘light’ on what the real ‘dark’ness is:
