Hugs and Guns
First I would like to congratulate my fellow Pakistanis who were blessed with another court system couple of days ago. In the presence of our regular court system, Federal Shriat Court and local jirgas; the establishment of yet another court system shows the world our love and respect for law and order and why Pakistanis are the most law abiding citizens in the world (humiliating the Chief Justice not withstanding).
The pride and joy of this news hadn’t even gone down one bit when I read in DAWN that the new born court had already ordered a decree in less time than it takes an SHO to sharpen his pencil before writing a “kachi” FIR.
“ISLAMABAD: The Lal Masjid administration on Sunday issued a fatwa against Tourism Minister Nilofar Bakhtiar and asked the government to “punish and sack” her from the cabinet for being snapped with paragliders of Paris in what the mosque administration called an ‘obscene manner’.” (DAWN April 9th, 2007)
The Mullahs of Lal Masjid have done it again people. The guardians of our morality have shown us once again that the darkness of liberalism is upon us and we need to act fast before this darkness pushes us further into the abyss of moderation.
After reading this news I felt shame, anger and frustration at the same time. Those of you who have felt that combination before know what I am talking about. When your legs shake violently and you want to break someone’s head. These ignorant mullahs have nothing better to talk about than a middle aged woman hugging a man? How many of these mullahs came out and strongly condemned the murder of Zill-e-Huma committed by someone of their ilk?
Seems like the same Mullahs who were just a week ago threatening the government with suicide bombings have no problem killing innocent people to advance their agenda but God help them they will go to extremes to punish a woman hugging a man.
