'Hundreds of religious students' - they will have really productive impact on the ecconomy of their country (if they don't murder each other first). What a sorry bunch of brainless morons.

All of the students protesting there are right! If your brothers and sisters are killed innocently by those bastards 'security forces' what will you do? Will you just sit and watch and weep like a bastard, timid coward? You all europeans are cowards and timid. If you had been here in islamabad and could see what has really happened here, then your views might have changed.

Karamat, your muslim brothers and sisters are leaving your countries to move to Christian countries for freedom and peace. There is no Muslim country that has more people moving in than moving out. If Allah is so great, why are all Muslim countries corrupt, violent, ignorant and backward. Hmmmm....Maybe Allah is not so great ... or you really ticked him off!

Innocent is not a word that applies to your brothers and sisters. And if your so called religious leaders didn't preach prejudice and hate as core values, which you Karamat have obviously learned very well, those bastard security forces wouldn't have been there in the first place.

Islam does not condone Muslims killing each other or any innocent person or even creature of any kind.

Do not generalize and attach Islam to the actions of a certain group or society. If we view things by this rule it could easily be said all Americans are greedy glutoneous selfish self rightous war mongerers. And I certainly do not believe that of every American, just the ones ruling your country. Same goes for the Jews and Israel.

Karamat. Jihadi suicide murderers are brave are they? Murdering innocent men women and children. Yeah, right. They have been brainwashed into believing they will get to roger 72 virgins for their murderous act. Ha! What a bunch of wankers. It's funny you don't see the preachers lining up as suicide bombers - are they all gay? If people behaved and kept within the law of whatever land they happen to live in, and preachers had their tongues cut out - or better still their throats cut, they wouldn't be pestered by security forces.

What Muslims do in the name of Islam and how the majority of Muslims react to them defines what Islam is, not just the words. Jews and Christians have stood up against extreemists in their groups, when will Muslims do the same.

It is a scary prospect to think that Islamic revolution could sweep across Pakistan. Essentially, it would become similar to Iran... except Pakistan already has nuclear weapons. Let's hope they discover reason before they annihilate one another and trigger World War III.

After searching the ruins for more high heels.Jul 27th, 2007 - 22:12:35

For their imprisoned leader:::::

Lal Masjid's chief administrator, Maulana Abdul Aziz.Has admitted to authorizes that he prefers high heels and women’s panties as opposed to Islamic traditional garb> This realization occurred when he tried to sneak out of the surrounded red mosque dressed as a women. He said in a recent interview that it is not an easy balance being a hard line Islamic Cleric by day and a dainty cross dresser by night. The high heels are two sizes too small. But One must endure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suppose there are many regretting their initial reactions now.
Except, perhaps, the extemists? Anyway, Pakistan knows that if they don't step up, in the words of REM, 'It's the End of the World as We Know It'
They can't use the nuke option, cause Uncle Sam says 'No Dice'. If our unrest in the US, combined with the nuclear/suicidal tenedencies in the Mid-East become TOO flagrant, there will be a giant parking lot made out of the majority of the region, and then 'I Feel Fine'........
