| US wants to repeat as it did in Afghanistan: Hafiz Saeed |
| 2003-01-26 |
| Syntax is courtesy of NNI. I don't talk like that... Chief of Jama't Al-Daw'a Pakistan Prof. Hafiz Muhammad Saeed has said that after invasion of Afghanistan, US, as a unilateral power wanted to repeat the story to teach the Jehadis in Pakistan, urging all the religious parties to unite themselves against the western powers. In a statement issued here on Saturday, Hafiz Mohammad Saeed said that western powers would never tolerate the religious powers to flourish in Asian countries urging the Muslim Ummah to be united setting aside their differences. Hafiz, lest we forget, is the head of Jamaat ad-Dawa, the front organization for Lashkar e-Taiba. He "stepped down" as head of Lashkar in December, 2001, installing a nonentity to keep the chair warm... Commenting on the attack in Afghanistan to root out Taleban and Al-Qaeda hideouts, he said that the presence of Taliban supreme leader Mullah Omar and Usama Bin Laden is the victory of Taliban and defeat of US led allied forces. Mullah Omar agreed to a surrender, then ran away. Binny's a fine layer of carbon. The Taliban has an interesting description of "victory." "The only reason, US wanted to attack Iraq is to control the oil rich states of Gulf to boost its deteriorating economy but Arabs understand the tricks played by the US policymakers is just only paradox what he is trying to be-fool the world", he added. West misinterpret the word 'Jehad' by terming it terrorism is only to defame the liberation movements as in several parts of the world it is being carried out by Muslims but we never become the victim of this intrigue, Hafiz Saeed concluded. I still say cutting people's heads off and throwing acid in women's faces is terrorism. Most people who aren't jihadis or members of the Berkeley City Council say the same thing. |

| #1 When the 'Mericans use the term crusade the islamic world goes bannanas. Hey, we 'Mericans use crusade for all sorts of things that don't mean we're gonna done armor and go jousting in jerusalem but the Islamists refused to recognize other definitions. Guess one man's Jihad is another man's crusade and they are just gonna have to learn to deal with it. |
