LeJ must stop terrorism in the name of Islam: Imran
2013-02-19
[Dawn] Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
(PTI) Chairman Imran Khan
... aka Taliban Khan, who is the lightweight's lightweight...
on Monday called out to the banned Lashkar-e-Jhangvi
... a 'more violent' offshoot of Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain. LeJ's purpose in life is to murder anyone who's not of utmost religious purity, starting with Shiites but including Brelvis, Ahmadis, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Rosicrucians, and just about anyone else you can think of. They are currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of al-Qaeda ...
(LeJ) to quit terrorism in the name of Islam, holding the bully boy group accountable for the first time in a public speech.

"I explicitly take their name and call out to the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi. If you carry out this terrorism in the name of Islam, then you couldn't be greater enemies of the religion," Khan told a presser in Islamabad, naming the feared bully boy group for the first time.

The PTI chief's presser follows a deadly bombing in Quetta claiming 84 lives, with most victims belonging mostly to the ethnic Hazara Shia community. It was the second deadly blast in the city in little over a month, with an earlier attack claiming 93 lives, also mostly Hazaras.

Both attacks were claimed by the feared bully boy group LeJ.

"Islam is the religion of peace. Attacking innocent civilians is outright terrorism," he said.

Critics have previously blamed Khan of not explicitly naming religious Death Eaters while condemning terrorism incidents, with detractors calling him 'Taliban Khan' for his advocacy of peace talks with the Pak Taliban.

Speaking to the media, Khan supported the demand of Hazara protestors for the deployment of Army in the placid provincial capital. He demanded that the culprits of the deadly bombing be brought to justice.

Khan also urged the chief justice to immediately take suo motu
...a legal term, from the Latin. Roughly translated it means I saw what you did, you bastard...
notice of the Quetta tragedy.

Terming immediate elections as the only solution to Pakistain's problems, the PTI chairman further said that if mid-term elections had been held, the situation would not be as gloomy.

#1  If they have elections in that pesthole now, it will only be a blood bath.

Imran Khan is the only guy in Pakistain that can say these kinds of things but he is probably more danger in power than anyone except Zawahieri
