"Can't understand why Musharraf is being so understanding with the Maulvi Brothers of Islamabad considering that the entire country is up in arms against them. I mean these large spontaneous protests in all our major cities..."
"They have deflected from his issue with the Chief Justice."
"That I can't believe. I mean the lawyers are still out there in full force and protests against Musharraf have not abated as far as the CJ issue is concerned..."
"But it is a distraction and maybe, just maybe..."
"You can't seriously think that Musharraf egged on the Maulvi Brothers of Islamabad? Surely not!"
"All I know is that we have a President who has not shied away from using force against Pakistanis and then all of a sudden he wants a deal with those who actively challenge the writ of the government in the capital! Need I add the Maulvi Brothers represent a religious group that the majority of the country finds distressing, to say the least, so the President will have full support for any action he may have taken against the Brothers."
"Well, maybe the fact is that he doesn't want to open another front."
"The Maulvi Brothers are not a front. They are a petty nuisance and the people of Pakistan don't want gun ships to be used against them, but they should be arrested and their more militant followers should also be arrested and cases filed against them - that is all."
"Well, he is unwilling to do that."
"And he had Chaudhry Shujaat to say that to the media."
"Chaudhry Shujaat says most issues with the Brothers Maulvi have been resolved."
"What issues is he talking of? They clearly violated the law of the land and must be apprehended and cases filed against them."
"Only if Musharraf so orders."
"But the why still escapes me."
"I don't know - our politics is so convoluted and each is not looking at the interests of the country but their own that I find it very hard to determine their motives in doing what they do."
"Ah yes, there I would agree."
"But maybe someone can file a case against the Maulvi Brothers for inciting hatred in the name of religion and then we may get some action."
"Yep, judicial activism is the way to go these days. The executive is not doing what it should."
