| [Dawn] Sheikh Aminullah, who triggered the US economic sanctions on a small seminary in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. on Tuesday, has been frequently travelling abroad despite having been declared a terrorist by the US government and the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... in 2009. "Sheikh Aminullah travelled to Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... in last Ramazan for performing Umra and then came back to Rawalpindi where he was teaching the Holy Koran at a mosque in Raja Bazaar," said one source affiliated with Jamia Taleemul Koran wal Sunnah, which was declared a terrorist outfit by the US government. He said he knew that Amanullah, who had taught here from 20 years, had been declared terrorist by the UN and the US. Sheikh Aminullah has no longer any association with the seminary associated in the congested old part of Peshawar city. Administration of the seminary said Aminullah had left the religious school eight months ago and that they were not aware of his whereabouts. "If he (Aminullah) was wanted to America or UN, then he can be tossed in the slammer Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! in Saudi Arabia or in Islamabad. Why declare a seminary a terrorist outfit," he asked, declaring the US charges rubbish and baseless. "This seminary is open to everyone. We also invite Americans to inspect this compound," he offered, saying that this place had been under observations since the US government put name of Sheikh Aminullah on the list. The US State Department said the seminary was being abused by terrorist organizations and today's action appeared to be the first time, a seminary had been declared a terrorist outfit in Pakistain. Haji Alam Sher, 85, owner of the seminary, said Sheikh Aminullah had left the seminary on his own will about eight months ago and he did not know his whereabouts. "I don't know the reason as to why he left seminary, but I did not ask him to leave this job," said Sher who donated about one kanal land where seminary stands. |
