Pak religious demagogue rants in Karachi
  • The acting chief of the Jamaat-i-Islami stated that the planned elections would polarise the nation between supporters and opponents of the American agenda in the region. He urged the people to rise against Washington's moves which, he said, were detrimental to the interest of the Muslims. Speaking at the Karachi Press Club, Syed Munawar Hassan said that wherever Muslims are being targeted the USA is siding with the oppressive force. He was critical of the American policies of standing alongside the Israeli who were killing unarmed Palestinians and bombardment of Afghanistan where innocent civilians were being killed.
    Just a standard propaganda rant from a loon who's trying to retrieve some of his lost prestige. It'll take awhile for the border areas to get over watching all those fellows disappear into Afghanistan for jihad, and they rubes have noticed that the boys at the top weren't the ones who were lost. It'll wear off, though, given time. There's a comeback in the fundos'future if they can hang in there. The danger to them is that Musharraf will be able to seriously shut them down - which probably isn't going to happen, given the intel agencies' stake in its proxy network.
