Samiul Haq supports Kalabagh Dam
London-based Dr Shahid Masood was quoted by Insaf as saying that in Pakistan very strange alignments were taking place. While the MMA was completely opposed to General Musharraf and parties aligned to him like PPP Sherpao group were not able to support Kalabagh Dam, Maulana Samiul Haq had suddenly decided to go along with General Musharraf and back his scheme of building the Kalabagh Dam. He said the PPP was opposed but the enemy of Musharraf, the Nawaz League, was in favour of it.
It sounds like Sami has been weaned away from the MMA, i’m sure his price wasn’t too high.

We will settle with them!
Jamaat Islami leader Munawwar Hassan told Khabrain magazine that “we” will have to settle with the lobby that is asking the government to recognise Israel. He said friendship with Israel was tantamount to nursing a snake in one’s cuff. He said now Hindu lobby was emerging at the side of the Jewish lobby.

Whip these women!
According to daily Pakistan chairman of Moonbat Mohabat International, Pir Syed Tahir Shah Kazmi Zanjani, said that fashion models appearing on catwalks should be punished by the government. He said Islam did not allow nakedness and obscenity and the only punishment for such whoring women was whipping and stoning to death. He said that such women excited men to commit sin.

Women’s hockey is not ‘obscene’!
According to Khabrain, former federal minister and president of Women’s Hockey Federation in Pakistan Ms Shahida Jameel said that Council for Islamic Ideology was wrong in saying that women’s hockey was spreading obscenity in the country. She said the Council should instead say something about stopping the spread of narcotics in Pakistan.

Courts against Islam?
Writing in Insaf Maulana Abdur Rasheed Arshad said that a judge of the Sindh High Court had recently passed a judgement giving equal share in inheritance to a woman while there is a clear edict in the Quran that she should receive half a share. He said the judge while quoting the UN Declaration of Universal Human Rights violated the charter of the Quran. He said the UN was a slave girl of the Jews and could not be in favour of the Muslims.
