Leave the Women Alone

The Jamaat-e-Islami always tries to create hurdles in the way of the Pervez Musharraf government. More recently, the members of the party have been using women to come out on the streets in support of their political agenda. I’m sure that these women didn’t join the party on their own but were forced by their husbands, brothers or fathers to do so.
Jamaat-e-Islami has a long record of opposing governments. One of their leaders is saying that Presidents Pervez Musharraf and Hamid Karzai are the same as the late President Saddam Hussain. They don’t seem to realize that General Musharraf and President Karzai are working for the betterment of their people with the help of the United States of America. Can’t they see the difference between the exceptionally good leaders and the bad ones? Can’t they do anything sensible for the populace?
