‘Peaceful’ Sharia Movement in Islamabad Threatens Suicide Bombings

Filed under: Islamism by Chad at 1:56 pm CDT

Pakistani cleric Maulana Abdul Aziz, with the reported backing of “thousands,” has announced he will set up a Sharia court in Islamabad and will use suicide bombers to attack the Pakistani government if they try to stop the court from proceeding.  But if it’s Allah’s will to see the court, why would they need to threaten anyone?  I digress . . .

“I give you one month notice to eliminate, gambling dens, video shops and brothels or after that we will do that ourselves,” Maulana Abdul Aziz, the mosque’s chief cleric announced during Friday prayers.

Our movement is peaceful,” he said. “The government too should stay calm. We’ve warned the government that if it ever tried to suppress us by force, thousands of students of Islamic seminaries (or madrassas) will retaliate with suicide attacks and they would never be able to control them,” said Aziz.

Suicide bombing and threats of death are peaceful, you see.

This Taliban-style activity has caused outrage among human rights groups in Pakistan. On Thursday thousands of activists staged a protest calling for action to be taken against the two madrassas, one for women and the other for men. They said that the madrassas are harassing ordinary people in the name of Islam.

And yet, once again, so-called human rights groups in the West are no where to be found.  They simply don’t care about Pakistanis, Iranians, Saudis, etc. in their own countries.

Digg It!
