I am wondering the same thing
if you check out the media footage, both papers and tv.. the judges and lawyers were quoted as saying that they will fight for the cleric and his people for free and let them go. the combatants in the court premisses said they will form a militant group but still that didnt faze the judges and maybe helped them in their decision to let the combatants go who went on to form Ghazi force and became the front line troops of TTP.
@Viper0011. re your post number 15. the posts number 17, 18 and 19 fully answer your question. I have same questions and conclusions. the army from Musharraf to current chief is nothing like the army of Gen Zia
he would have put few hundred people in front of firing squad, publicly hanged a handful gang leaders and this thing would have been over.
contrary to that.. Musharraf's operation on red mosque was half hearted and apologetic and just like the wolves.. his enemies sensed his weaknesses and pounced on him , democracy, media, laywers and taliban front parties joined hands against him and army .. he went away and a COAS on weed took charge and rest as we know is history.
the army is pooled from same people who offer prayers for Osama and are happy to pray behind a cross dresser and one who invites Al baghdadi as Caliph to Pakistan..the "democratic"" leaders are opportunist hunters they read the signs and put their money where they have maximum returns. hence encouraging the terror den to launch rallies against state and declare those killed by TTP dont deserve Islamic burial.
the problem with our army is like the undecided .poor thief of the villaige who ends up eating 100 onion and getting 100 lashes as well.
. yes it should have levelled the place and ended the bloodline of that cleric.but that didnt happen
the guy is openly taunting the state and the army (not the government though.. you and I know why). and for the first time caused a little bit of headache for the Sharif brothers when the American officials rudely intercepted their foreign engagements and shared with them what that Daesh female terrorist had been doing and how she was part of the jihadist wives sisterhood of red mosque.
that is true
and unfortunately there is only one sect that has waged war on the entire state
only one sect is providing the fresh recruits to TTP.. has killed our women and children and bragged about it. has destroyed mosques and shrines. so its no time to be politically correct and go after Beralvis, Shais , Ahl Hadiths just so that deobandis dont feel discriminated.
lets just check out how many Berlavis or shias have bombed , shrines, mosques, schools and shops and how many of them made beheading videos and attacked military? and how many of them have been linked to international terrorism?
like said .. lets start with the biggest one first and dont be sentimental to its feelings.. if you still feel for the wahabis then do care to explain it to the victims of APS.. the first anniversary of the tragedy approaches
