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.
Salamalikum,
Just to continue what Adnan has said and take time from focusing/debating this issue and contemplate on what has happened in Karachi due to rain/winds:
Please pray for the people who died in Karachi due to heavy rain and winds. May Allah have mercy on them, forgive them, enter them in Jannat and raise them with our prophet (saw), ameen. As is routine, mostly poor people died! This reminds me of a hadith which is in both al-Bukhari and Muslim: Usamah bin Zaid (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, “I stood at the gate of Jannah, and (I saw) that the majority of those who entered it are the poor, and the wealthy were kept confined.” I’ve stated just the first part of the hadith. The hadith is longer than what I have shown here. I think in another hadith or authentic explanation is that the rich will be stopped for questioning and many won’t enter because what they did with their wealth. Allahu alam

For above two people fell free to use this method..perhaps that will bring the point home…
Latoon kay bhoot…:)
Adnan sahab , we are not talking about the ‘OTHERS’ as you so pointedly put , we are talking about the Jamia Hafsa admin here and they seem to be obbsessed with women related crimes … also at no place did i justify the presence of brothels hence the phrase “related offences”.
I would be really thankful if you would read the entire post and decipher the meanings before picking on random sentences. Had you read the post in its entiriety , you would have read that it says the Jamia Hafsa DO have a point , just that it should be wider in its circle instead of targeting women/.
Axiomatic, so from what you are saying i read this in your lines … since there is no law in Pakistan , and hypothetically speaking, i do not agree with what you are saying here on this post , that should give me the right to send my guard with an army of hired gun totting people to yoru house and have you kidnapped, I shall keep you under arrest untill you succumb to my point of view. I may even release you once i have made a point in front of the world saying , this is what happens to the person who dis agrees with my point of view . As per your argments i shall be justified in doing all of the above so Is that the same way you are justifying the stance of Jamia Hafsa ?
Just clearing mis conceptions mind you , no offence please.

Adnan please stop being an apologetic for the terrorists in Lal Masjid. The statement I made is not mine, it is based on an ayat in the Quran.
The only way to wipe out extremism is to act in accordance with the Quranic injuction to deal with “fasad fil arz” that orders destruction of mosques used to spread fasad.
It is the duty of the state, not individuals, to put an end to preaching of fasad from the pulpits.
As for your comment on Islamabad being an illegal state, I can understand people speaking our against corrupt generals and politicians and punishing them. But talking about destroying your capital is just insane.
