#1 You can't make this stuff up...

A bit of what the Lal Masjid khateeb has been saying on this can be gauged from what he said on FM radio on April 12: "I warn you that no place will be safe in the country if any operation was carried out against Lal Masjid. There will be suicide blasts in the nook and cranny of the country and the rulers will never be able to control the situation. Don't underestimate our strength. We have weapons, grenades and we are expert in manufacturing bombs. We are not weak. We are not afraid of death. We are being maligned by [the] media and the NGOs for waging jihad against obscenity. Nobody realises that we are the true custodians of Islam. Oh my brothers. I request you to throw out satanic things from your house. TV is the biggest evil that the west has created to spoil our religion. I am requesting the God-fearing Muslims to torch their TV sets. In a few weeks time, our boys and girls will be visiting your houses and preach you to burn your TV sets. They [the president and prime minister] will have to fire the immoral Nilofar Bakhtiar who has brought shame to the Muslims. They should hand over Nilofar Bakhtiar to us. She will have to offer toba (repentance) and spend three months with the female students of Jamia Hafsa. I am sure she will return as a devout Muslim after receiving our training. The government should abolish co-education. Quaid-e-Azam University has become a brothel. Its female professors and students roam in objectionable dresses. I think I will have to send my daughters of Jamia Hafsa to these immoral women. They will have to hide themselves in hijab otherwise they will be punished according to Islam. Sportswomen are spreading nudity. I warn the sportswomen of Islamabad to stop participating in sports or my daughters of Jamia Hafsa will punish them in public. Our female students have not issued the threat of throwing acid on the uncovered faces of women. However, such a threat could be used for creating the fear of Islam among sinful women. There is no harm in it. There are far more horrible punishments in the hereafter for such women."

#2 I gotta agree with him about the TV but he and his ilk need to be removed.

#4 Now we all know the reason our government supports Perv. With guys like Aziz as the alternative we have to give Perv all the support we can. It sounds like this is a country headed for civil war.

#5 I guess it would be a civil war: various islamist groups v. the military v. ISI v. secular groups v. current supporters of the government v. people who just want to live in peace.

#6 The people who want to live in peace are always the losers. This guy Aziz sounds like he wants to be the next Ayatolla Khomeni. Better shoot him now before he gets any more uppity than he already is.

The fear of Islam. Says it all. Submission and terror for those who don't submit. Nice to see it so bluntly stated.

#8 He said democracy was a flawed system. Democracy is nothing but counting of heads. It cannot differentiate between good and bad people, as in this system the vote of a ~~devout~~ really crazed Muslim equals the vote of a ~~frail~~ not too crazed Muslim, he said.
yeah his vote should count ten times as much

#9 Sounds like a man speaking for a culture that has accomplished a lot in the last 1,000 years.

#10 Napalm their compounds, followed by cluster weapons, followed by high explosives - all within about 20 minutes. Shoot the ones that try to escape. Do it to this group, and there won't be any other groups. Give this group a pass, and they'll begin springing up all over the ds$$$$ place.

This is what they fear most. We should be doing more of it at home here in the US and other countries, too.
