The seminary of Lal-Masjid (Jamia Faradia and Jamia Hafsa) wanted for fiercely implement Islamic Shariah Law system under the influence of foreign and local militant organizations. To implement this plan, they used their students and started crackdown in federal city Islamabad by shutting down movie shops, attacks on police forces and Chinese Massage center etc. The government warned Ghazi brothers to avoid such incidents. After the failure of peace dialogues and warnings with seminary and government nominations, Pakistani military forces started “Operation Silence” on July 3-11, 2007.The results of this operation were not satisfactory for the solution of this problem. Later on, it was proved that the decision taken by® General Pervez Musharraf, the then President of Pakistan was the worst political decision in the history of Pakistan. Final survey results of the study are 77.64 % respondents commented that militancy increased after this operation across the country but, while 22.36 % commented that militancy increased after North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces attacked on Afghanistan in search of Osama Bin Laden and some other elements. The government of Pakistan has lost 118.3 billion dollars in extremist violence directly and indirectly from 2007-2016. In these strikes, 7000 military officials ‘martyred and over 150,000 civilians ‘people killed by suicide and targeted attacks from the militants as revenge of this operation. In the past no such study was conducted directly related to this national issue.
