Musharraf replacing Quran and Sunna with LFO: Qazi
2003-09-12
Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Qazi Husain Ahmad said on Thursday President General Pervez Musharraf wanted to remove the Quran and Sunnah from the Constitution and add the Legal Framework Order (LFO).
And this is a bad thing because...?
Addressing a JI leaders’ workshop at Mansoora, he said General Musharraf was a United States ally in the ‘so-called’ anti terrorist campaign against Muslims and he was trying to amend the Constitution. He said, “The articles based on the Quran and Sunnah could be ejected from the Constitution.” He said some ‘westernized’ women had urged the Hadood Ordinance be taken out of the Constitution because it discriminated against women. Mr Ahmed called this move a “part of the American agenda to secularise Pakistan.
Oh, horrors! Oh, hold me, Ethel!
He said the US had tightened its hold on Islamic movements and had even banned Islamic welfare trusts and it wanted to ‘crush’ the madrassas. “The September 11, 2001 attack is America’s lame excuse to crush Muslims. Christians, Jews and Hindus have united against Muslims,” he said.

#6  I've always felt that a soul coerced into behaving properly by laws and threats just won't get the same credit at the pearly gates as one a soul that chooses the right path.

#4  There are times I wonder if there aren't two Murats.

One is so rabidly, so agressively, and so irrationaly Anti-american , anti-west and adept of conspiracy theories that I wonder if he is a troll, a Turk who has spent two much tilme reading books from el cheapo French leftist intellectuals or a covert Islamist (French meaning: partisan of Shariah, and theocracy).

And the other one is rational, quite nice and apparently an admirer of Mustafa Kemal.

There are times I wonder how to say Jekill and Hyde in Turkish.

#3  Pervez Musharraf earns a full support here he is clearly taking some steps in the direction of secularizing his country. There will always be some ameers and sheiks and other sect leaders trying to sabotage such steps and characterize secularism as an attack on Islam.

F#%@!k those ameers and sheiks who try to ride the Islam as camel jockeys.

#1  Of course, the Muslim's violent activities and insulting rhetoric had NOTHING to do with it...Maybe shooting your mouths off in all directions at once wasn't such a bright idea after all, huh?

Boo-freakin'-hoo
