| Hafsa students demand fatwa on 'enlightened moderation' |
| 2007-05-04 |
| Female students of the Jamia Hafsa on Thursday demanded a religious decree from the prayer leader of the Grand Mosque regarding the Islamic view on terming jihad as terrorism and the “spread of obscenity in the name of enlightened moderation”. Khola Abdul Rehman and her fellow students made this demand to the prayer leader of the Grand Mosque in a letter written to Religious Minister Ejazul Haq. They asked the minister for his help in obtaining the answer and the decree of the prayer leader. They asked for the decree of the prayer leader on the steps taken by the present government in the same letter. The students also questioned the parachute jump of a female minister and the state of martyrdom for those who died fighting in Wana and the tribal areas. |

| #4 They want a fatwa telling them "No, Jihad is not terrorism, and it is halal to spread obscenity in the name of enlightened moderation." The fatwa allows them to do what they want against anyone peddling or using obscenity, any way they want it, and let them feel that they are not terrorists. |

| #1 This is discouraging -- that the "Women of Islam" are just as nasty as the men. But there's something funny to me in that they "demanded" -- maybe that in itself is a positive. |
