#1 As a young man the Maulana held the first important gathering of Islamist radicals following the Soviet expulsion from Afghanistan. He was known as a supporter of the Taliban movement in Afghanistan. A leader of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam movement, Rehman was elected as the member of the National Assembly in 1988 Pakistani general elections for the first time, and from that time to present maintained a close relationship with the Afghan Taliban. Wiki: Rehman led several anti-American protests and pro-Taliban rallies in the major cities of Pakistan following the war in Afghanistan in 2001. He criticizsed President of United States George W. Bush, and threatened to launch jihad against the United States if the bombings continued. ... In October 2001, PM Musharraf placed Fazal under house arrest for inciting citizens of Pakistan against the armed forces of Pakistan and for trying to overthrow the government of Pakistan. Later in March 2002, Fazal was set free and the cases against him were withdrawn. He has remained politically active since.
