Fundamentalist >I think there is a slip here - Janaza is to be prayed but buried unwashed where they fell on the battlefield as stated in the post.
No Xeric - It is not the exact spot, but the battlefield where the war was fought that the martyrs were buried is the idea, at least that was what the Prophet did. But the practicalities may not allow such a burial in today's warfare that is vastly different from what was fought in those days - so I guess you may apply your own discretion here - but I suppose the burial without washing should be applicable.Ok so you mean the exact spot where he fells has to be reconnoitered and then the martyred has to be buried right there.
Why you people are so happy in making the easiest religion in this world the most difficult one??
Why are you so stingy about just everything?
i tell you, this riggedness of yours is getting you no where!

Apply your own judgement where things get fudged. Islam is still the easiest way out for all of us - we only have to get to know it better.

Great Idea - For those who perished so that we may live - the DEAR ones they leave behind deserve the best of the best that the nation can give.Regardless of the justifications of the operations, the honorable families are the Primary victims.
Army personnel are not paid very handsomely; the take home ranges from US$ 110 US$ 400. With the rampant inflation it is a nightmare to sustain (on average) three (3) young children and see them through a decent career. Military Pensions are disbursed through an archaic system manned by thoroughly corrupted officials. It is a pathetic sight to see families hovering around PMAD offices to get pensions sorted out for months together. Some of the competent GOCs intervene to maintain the dignity of families, others have a callous and insensitive attitude.
The best tribute to these valiant souls who laid down their lives is to create an unprecedented package for the families of Shaheeds:
1. The estimated 180 2 Star+ officers and estimated 450 One Stars (Brigadiers) are each entitled to plots in prime locations with street values ranging from US$ 120,000 250,000. Enterprising fellas like Lt. Gen. Zarrar Azeem virtually created real estate empires. All officers with rank of Brigadier and above should donate their plots to a Pool, as token of solidarity with their fallen men. The pool can sell the plots in the open market. Each Shaheed family will get approx US$ 50,000 in cash.
2. All the operations currently waged are part of the US War on Terror. Every day senior CENTCOM officers are coming for their VIP jaunts. Pak Army leadership should insist on a deal where our soldiers and officers automatically get enrolled in the War and Terrorism insurance scheme ((DBA) Insurance Mandatory Requirements Contract with CNA Insurance) . This will entitle each fallen soldier about US$ 80,000. Injuries and disabilities will range from US$ 20,000 35,000. The premiums to be paid by the US government as per the standard
3. US Embassy Islamabad should grant Immigration Visas to the immediate families of the Shaheeeds, besides preferential treatment for the grant of USAID scholarships.
4. Any New sector by CDA Islamabad, Defense Karachi / Lahore should allocate a high value plot to the Shaheed family.
NO HOLLOW TALK, JUST ACTION.

There should be no discrimination on the basis of Rank or Arm. All widows and children suffer the same way.
They Say we are paid with their taxes,
They Say we enjoy privileges,
They Say we are corrupt,
They Say we are dictators,
They Say....and they only Say,
But...
When we Sit facing bullets - They Dont Say,
When our Boxed Bodies come home - They Dont Say,
When we Die and our Mothers Weep - They Dont Say,
When our Bodies are Shattered in pieces - They Dont Say,
We Are Sons of the Soil.
