| [DAWN] Jamaat-e-Islami ... The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independentbranch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... chief Sirajul Haq ...current head of the Pak Jamaat-e-Islami. Siraj was born in 1962 and entered politics shortly after that... has demanded of the federal government to allocate funds for the students enrolled in religious seminaries like those studying in schools and universities in the next budget. The students of religious seminaries also have the right on the national kitty to have their share like those enrolled in the universities and schools in the country. According to a statement, the JI chief expressed these views while speaking as chief guest at an event at Al-Markaz-e-Islami here on Sunday. He said that Federal Finance Minister Ishaq Dar should realise his responsibility and allocate sufficient funds for the religious seminaries as those studying and teaching in seminaries could play an effective role against corruption and all kinds of evils in the society. He said that neither the existing problems could be solved nor the country’s economy could improve unless Khilafat system was enforced in the country. He said that corrupt rulers always fled the country whenever they faced any challenge while the students of seminaries and religious scholars served the nation in all times. Mr Haq said that JI had already rejected the women rights bill approved by Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard 2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers 3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... government as it was not in the interest of Pak women. He claimed that the bill was, in fact, a part of the western agenda and opposed by women in Punjab province. |
