In another dramatic development last night, dozens of armed Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa students stormed into a Chinese Beauty Parlor (massage centere) and kidnapped 9 people including 6 women and 3 men. All people are apparently of Chinese nationality. The incident occurred late Friday night.
According to Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa students, a brothel was being run under the name of massage centre and they have held Chinese men and women hostage for ‘Islah’.
I was watching Geo News just a few minutes ago and Chinese Government has strongly condemned this incident and demanded an appropriate action. Daily Times reports:
Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa students raided a Chinese massage centre in Sector F-8/3 and took hostage five Chinese nationals, including three women and two men, on late Saturday night in Islamabad, Geo television reported. According to the channel, two vehicles full of armed seminary students raided the massage centre, abducted the staff and brought them to the mosque. Geo reported Jamia Hafsa administration as alleging that a brothel was being run under the garb the massage centre. The Lal Masjid clerics could not be contacted as they had switched off their mobile phones. Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) officials reached the seminary and were trying to secure the release of the abducted Chinese through dialogue, it reported. Earlier, the students had abducted an alleged brothel owner and released her after a couple of days. They had also abducted and later released two police personnel.
This is another very serious act after holding policemen hostage for several weeks. I am really worried about this new trend of kidnappings. This is becoming ‘I don’t like you so I am going to kidnap you, beat the hell out of you and fix you (Islah)’. I wonder what is next? If government tries to settle this matter by force, the results could be a bloody clash and loss of life. Surely, this time a serious action will be taken.
I agree with the argument that brothels exist everywhere in today’s Pakistan. But is this the right way to do Islah? If our security and law enforcing agencies do their job properly, such incidents can never happen. Just blaming students of Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa is no good. The failure and inability of State of Pakistan to act when most needed, is equally responsible for this embarrassing situation and making us all look like a nation of extremists (both ends), illiterate ignorants and a bunch of fools.
What is Government of Pakistan is going to do? Why can’t we have a permanent solution to this embarrassment? Tough question.
Lal masjid molvi’s own words;
غازی عبدالرشید کا Ú©Û
According to Ijazul Haque, Ch Shujaat has been a client of this massage centre. Too bad Shujaat wasn’t there at the time for special treatment by lal masjid guys.
one wrong activity can’t justify another. Does 5/12 give Aziz Brothers right to take law in their hand? I agree to Ibrahim point of view that all ulemas should condemn in a more forceful and visible way.
Btw why mush administration is so patient when it comes to Lal masjid and allow massacre when its CJP case.. daal main kuch kala hai
I think the root of the problem lies in rule of law. There is a law to stop almost every evil , big or small , serious or not that serious. The problem really in the implementation of it. The causes and its effect of people breaking the law is a different discussion. A women getting propositioned is something that can happen in any level of society and in any strata. Here in Lal Masjid the bone of contention is not Mullahs but the action of a group of people in trying to impelemnet their brand of thinking on others. Its a matter of one group taking the law in to their own hand. What happns to the society than ? Off-course its going to snowball into anarchy. A wild west where everyone defends his own view ( right or wrong) by arms or ability to destruct. The independence of judiciary can play a major role in getting law of the land established in Pakistan. Infact if we contemplate most of the problems can be solved if we have a place of appeal where justice is guranteed. So the first question is the wisdom of taking the law into your own hand which leads to anarchy. The second question , and a big question mark at that is the sincerity of this group of zealots. If past history is taken into account and their actions analyzed independently it does began to seem as they are serving some other interest. Whether its a level of distraction or a demonstration of what is the replacement like or just muddying the water God only knows. But may I remind the people on this forum about hathora group and different other theater played on the stage of Pakistan on the cost of Pakistani public. Its time for us to decide what do we want. Independence of judiciary or anarchy, democracy or dictatorship, fascist parties or genuine democratic parties, enlightened view of islam or narrow own interpreted views rammed down our throat. Pakistan is at crossroad of its history and believe me sir its a battle for survival.
