Terrorists threaten co-ed schools in Lahore! Children at risk

[Xeric]

let me interject with something.

The Taliban were not those fighters who fought against the soviets. Most of the Taliban were refugees in Pakistan, and their top leadership (Apart from Mullah Umar perhaps) were actually students at madrassa Haqqania while the Afghan Jihad was being waged.

The Mujahideen who fought against the soviets were not the Taliban, although many people in the Northern Alliance like Ahmad Shah Masood and Rabbani did wage jihad against the Soviets.

Mullah Omar is reputed to have been a footsoldier during the jihad too, but of no real consequence and none of his 'exploits' are documented.

The Taliban group was formed in the mid 90s, after the Soviets left Afghanistan, as a reaction to the lawlessness and infighting that had gripped former Mujahideen commanders and criminals.

Thinks for the addition.

i would also like to correct myself. What i wanted to say was that when after the fall of Soviet forces the Talibans controlled Afghanistan they made the indian embassy there to pack up and to buzz off. The embassy was reopened during Karzai's regime and a great ceremony to this effect was also held thereof, thus earmarking the start of indian intervention in afghani affairs and the formation of new foreign policy against Pakistan.

Just to let you guys know- My unlce is chairman of CPLC Faisalabad.. Today He had a meeting with the IG,DIG and SPs of Faisalabad and they have clearly mentioned that after Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore..the next target is Faisalabad..They said that they have got very strong intelligence reports that the schools could be their target in the city... Today all my cousines and other kids were sent back to their homes from school at 8.30 am because a person tried to enter Beacon House Sschool System Faisalabad with the bag of explosives...

Tommorow they have called upon all the principles of all govt and private schools to discuss the matter...In another incident a white car full of explosives has been recovered from one of the busiest chowk.

That's horrifying, as one of my young cousins studies in Beacon House in lahore.

These terrorists are so damn hard hearted that even killing kids is not beyond them.

I think it is just a propaganda not more then that .

on the other side co education should be removed.Pakistan is an islamic state so we have to implement islamic roles here, co education has really bad effet on new generation ideology,thoughts, ideas and more important religion.In co-education there is not such thing like religion.

PAKISTAN KA MATLAB KIYA LA ILLAHA ILL LAL LAAH.

JUST SONT FORGET THAT.

Recently some people were caught for making hoax calls to Islamabad schools....they said they were having fun :sigh:

 

[s90]

PAKISTAN KA MATLAB KIYA LA ILLAHA ILL LAL LAAH.

Muslim League never used this slogan or its followers,u also just dont forget that.

I will disagree on each and every single one of those counts!

I think it is just a propaganda not more then that . No it's not. Schools have been receiving threats, even in Karachi. Educational institutes, be they of primary or higher levels, are now very acreful in organising functions/programmes where the schoolchildren of both sexes congregate. This never happened before. As an example, end April, one of the leading schools of Karachi had its farewell party for its A levels graduates. For the first time in its 100 year odd history, there were separate entrances for both the girls and boys! This never happened in the Zia era even!

on the other side co education should be removed.
Yeh, bohat purani batein hain. Times have changed, you have to moved with the rest of the world. Being brought up in isolation is not done — it's passe.


Pakistan is an islamic state so we have to implement islamic roles here, co education has really bad effet on new generation ideology,thoughts, ideas and more important religion.

I would blame that on media and pornography not co-education. As for religious training, the first and last ground for that is one's home.

In co-education there is not such thing like religion.

Last question, have you ever studied in a co-education school? Or even know what's is there on their curriculum?

These attacks started happening after US occupied Afghanistan and after Indians opened up their "embassy". I wouldn't be surprised if those two are working together to destabilize Pakistan

See if this helps. Capital suggestion

"An even more important question is: what does Pakistan want from America? Pakistan is literally on fire and our understanding of fire chemistry is limited. America can teach us the science of extinguishment.

Does America want our bomb? Why would it; America has 5,400 active nuclear warheads of its own. Is our bomb a threat to America? Well, New York is 11,089 km away from Islamabad and all we have is Hatfs, Shaheens and Ghauris none of which can reach New York. Does America want to destabilise Pakistan? Well, if America wanted to destabilise Pakistan General Petraeus didn't have to pursue the IMF into lending Pakistan $7.6 billion. If America wanted to destabilise Pakistan America didn't have to pursue the Friends of Pakistan consortium into pledging $5.5 billion for Pakistan. If America wanted to destabilise Pakistan Senators Kerry and Lugar didn't have to go out of their ways to pledge $7.5 billion for Pakistan.

We must be honest with ourselves. No one is conspiring against us. No one is trying to break Pakistan. All we have got to do is to put our house in order -- and no one else would do it for us."

 

[aziz raza]

Agree with you on certain aspects. But we need to focus on the core 'unconscious' issue which is driving these 'conscious' reactions.
The root issue is the social chaos because of the social disparity in classes now. Education is a prime example of all this social disparity.
In PAKISTAN either its the first tier schools like BEACONHOUSE etc & then there is no second/third tier, there is 'no-tier' after first tier. We all know how much of the total population can spend 10K(just tuition fee) Rs per month per kid. So the mass chunk feel leftout, dipressed with lost hopes & dreams which in turn gives birth to a deep 'suppressed' anger. Religion, Taliban etc is just a colour these people will give to vent there angers on the upper masses & justify it.

the tuition fee charged is a different issue...you cant support the 'islamic need' for the removal of co-education from pakistan....when i grew up in india...we had this image of pakistan as a country in a dessert where everyone looks like a Bedouin...with camels and all...and which has no co-ed schools...obviously that perspective changed when i got an internet connection.
it's true that good education can be imparted with/wthout the co-ed system....but in countries like pakistan and india...where there is a gender bias...and women are treated badly...co-ed would crop a generation of men and women free from most social evils that give us a headache and are counter-productive for our nations.
co-ed in short would impart greater tolerance to the men in the male dominated societies of south-asia.

I am talking about if in a social system you are going to make quality education just a 'privilige' then these things are bound to happen and are happening and there intensity will just increase. Society never consists of a 'privileged class. If we fail to address these core society issues , then we are just providing more & more fuel to TALIBANs etc
