Class analysis. Regarding the standoff at the Lal mosque here in Islamabad. The government just realized that some of the students holed inside have no homes to go if they were to surrender. It promised to provide them with shelter if they were to leave. But why did the government not think about providing shelter to those homeless youth before they become susceptible to indoctrination. They are also offering money to those who leave the mosque: they also should have thought about those poor people before they join religious seminaries (not to use the word maaaadraaasssaaaa) out of financial desperation.
