This article is totally BIASED against the MADRESSA and it appears to be a PRO-MQM propaganda.

[edit] Jamia Hafsa (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

semi-protect. To stop Publishing of wrong information. Saiqa kanwal 15:56, 16 April 2007 (UTC) This article is out of date from current events, since this publication many events have transpired which demonstrate that the madrassa is politically aligned. Currently the madrassa is fenced off by Rangers and there is a stand-off with government forces. Lal Masjid has been fenced off by security forces after the rumors reported yesterday of suicide bombers. Meantime the government is stating that there will be no operation against Lal Masjid.

From Today's [1]Pakistan Daily Times:

President Musharraf said on Friday that the potential loss of human lives was preventing him from taking any action against the Lal Masjid, while adding that suicide bombers from Jaish-e-Mohammad were also hiding in the mosque. “We are afraid of the baton-wielding madrassas who will stand by Lal Masjid if we launch action,” he said, while addressing the concluding ceremony of the National Media Workshop organised by the National Defence University. He said the female students of the Lal Masjid’s adjoining madrassa were “prepared for suicide attacks” and up to 500 children “were being used as human shields” to stop the government from contemplating any operation. He said members of Jaish-e-Mohammad, a banned militant group linked to Al Qaeda, were also hiding in the mosque, adding that they were all capable of suicide attacks. “How can I take action?” he said. “Action is ready but will be taken at a right time.” According to Aaj television, the President added that the government would take action against the Lal Masjid if the media guaranteed that it would not show any dead bodies in electronic or print media.

[edit] Original research/cleanup

A lot of what's here appears to be weasel-worded ("some say", "it is said", etc.), and basically an editorial. I think there's an article to be had here, but such an article needs to stick strictly to facts from reliable sources, and opinions need to be attributed to such a source, not just to "some say" or the like.
