Atomic weapons, traditional weapons, a strong army and voluntary mujahideen are obligatory for jihad and the Jamaat ud-Daawa (JD) will continue protecting and arranging these resources for jihad against Hindus, the JD party announced Thursday at a Kashmir Solidarity Day rally. Around 3,000 people participated in the rally on The Mall, the biggest Kashmir demonstration in the city. The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) also arranged a rally of about 1,500 people, mostly women and children. JD Ameer Hafiz Muhammad Saeed said the organisation would not allow the government to disregard the sacrifices of Kashmiri mujahideen, and would start a countywide campaign to inform people about âconspiracies against the Kashmir freedom struggleâ.

âJihad is the only solution to the Kashmir issue and it was a fact and will remain a fact that jihad will free the Indian Muslims, who are looking to us,â he said. He said no one could stop Pakistani and Indian Muslims when they joined Kashmiris in their struggle against the Indian occupation because it was their âobligatory dutyâ.
| "And if the Kashmiri Muslims don't want to do it, and the Indian Muslims don't want to do it, we'll do it ourselves!" |
âMuslims throughout the world have a bond of kalma. From Lahore to Srinagar, Kabul to Baghdad, Basra to Chechnya, they are fighting under this kalma, but the infidel world doesnât like it and describes it as terrorism,â he said.
| That's because of all the civilian corpses, of course... |
Mr Saeed said only jihad could guarantee the security of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan and the whole Islamic world. He praised Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan and said he hadnât committed any crime by transferring nuclear technology to Muslim countries.
Like North Korea ...
âHe shared the technology for the supremacy of Islam and he acted on the Allahâs command,â Mr Saeed said, describing Dr Khan as a hero. âHe is our hero, will remain our hero, and the government canât undermine his honour under American pressure.â
JD Foreign Affairs Committee head Maulana Abdul Rehman Makki said in his speech that the Western media was linking terrorism with Islam, which were wrong. America, Britain, Israel and India are the biggest terrorists, who are occupying the resources of Muslims countries and violating human rights all over the world.
| "They're violating our right to cut people's heads off! They're violating our right to call people apostates and kill them all, even their kiddies and their dogs! They're violating our right to enforce our tribal mores on people who couldn't care less!" |
âThe media and the (Pakistani) parliament should know that there are 77 commands related to jihad in the Quran. They should follow these and fulfil their religious duty,â he said.
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Khawaja Saad Rafiq and Ishtiaq Ahmed, an Indian Kashmir Muslim League leader, also addressed the rally. Mr Ghafoor said General Musharraf was the first Pakistani ruler to change the national stance on Kashmir. âGeneral Musharraf has been practically in American custody since the September 11 incident. He is acting on US orders and is now ready to withdraw from Kashmir and the nuclear programme,â he said. âNow, the time has come to stand against his polices. Otherwise, not only Pakistan, but the whole Muslim Ummah will be at stake.â He said the MMA would not allow anybody to play foul with the nation.
| That's a pretty casual assumption that Pakland and the Ummah are one. Or is it an admission? |
JI Lahore chapter head Mian Maqsood said America had âofficially announced the beginning of nuclear cooperation with Indiaâ. He said more propaganda would be launched against Pakistan with the promotion of fake Pakistan-India friendship to eliminate Pakistanâs justification to keep atomic weapons. âMusharraf has a pivotal role in this dangerous plan,â he said.
Itâs a Conspiracy(TM), by Gawd! Hold me, Fatima! |
