| Sufi calls for implementing Shariah to end bloodshed |
| 2009-01-21 |
| Chief of the banned Tanzim Nifaz Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) It's banned, huh? Maulana Sufi Muhammad They let him out of jug because he was on his deathbed... has urged the government to implement the Shariah in Malakand Division to stop bloodshed. "All that bloodthirsty stuff'll stop just as soon as you chop a few hands off and maybe stone an adultress or two..." "Implementation of Shariah is a must to ensure peace, progress and equal rights to the people," the TNSM chief told a press conference here on Tuesday, warning the government that it would be held responsible for any untoward incident if the Shariah was not implemented in the Malakand Division and Kohistan. Define "progress"? The TNSM chief also demanded of the government to stop the so-called operation in Swat, which had affected the innocent people. Maulana Sufi said the TNSM should be held responsible for any untoward incident after the enforcement of Shariah in the region. |

| #4 I thikj the reason his parents gave him the Sufi name is because he is from a Sufi family. |

| #2 Probably an actual one. Many of the more blood-thirsty musklims have been sufis: eg the Turkish empire, the ideologue of Sudan's genocidical sufi. |
