| − | '''Lal Masjid''' (Urdu: '''لال مسج''', "Red Mosque") is a [[Salafism|Salafist]] mosque in [[Islamabad]], the capital of [[Pakistan]]. The mosque is known for it's radical teachings. Recently, the leaders of the mosque (Abdul Rashid Ghazi and Maulana Abdul Aziz) authorized their students to attempt to enforce a strict, [[Taliban]]-like Islamic law on [[Islamabad]]. This was to be accomplished by kidnapping and murdering dhimmis, apostates, and prostitutes.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6503477.stm BBC Profile - Red Mosque]</ref>

| − | Pakistani President [[Pervez Musharraf]] has generally been lenient with those in the mosque, offering $83 and free education to any student who surrendered from the mosque. Maulana Abdul Aziz was captured while attempting to flee the mosque in a [[burqa]], a cowardly way for a leader to be incapacitated. Following his capture, approximately 1,200 students surrendered.<ref>[http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/07/08/pakistan.red.mosque/index.html Commander killed outside Red Mosque], ''CNN''</ref>
