Most of the Pakistanis around the world probably know by now the current stand-off situation between law agencies and Lal Masjid managament in Islamabad. For the unknown, please read this.
I have heard many people saying that government is busy solving other problems, including judiciary and Waziristan issues. Also, that power people in Islamabad are not realizing the gravity of the situation. Some are saying that probably government is not taking action because they are afraid of bloodshed. I think all of this is crap. Government knows everything and any fool can see that what Lal Masjid people are doing is completely against law. It does not take much force to restraint a few hundred (max) madressah students, who want to take law into their own hands, and do whatever they want. Even we have seen law enforcing agencies going overly reactive to peaceful protesters and media during last month protests against president's reference on CJ.
Why government is not taking action on any of the bullshit things Lal Masjid people are doing? Because Pervez Musharraf wants to send a message to the world that if I go out of power, this is what will happen. This is very sad.
