Mufti Jamil killed in Karachi attack
2004-10-09
Nazim Aalmi Tahafuz-e-Majlis-Nabuwat and Raees Iqra Rozatul-Atfal Maulana Mufti Mohammad Jamil have been martyred by firing by unknown gunmen in Karachi.
Nice shooting, Unknown Gunmen. Hope you work for the good guys.
Even if you're not, here's a nice doo-hickey to hang on your marksmanship badges!
Secretary Information Jamiat-i-Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) Qari Mohammad Usman has said that due to the firing by unknown attackers in Patel Para, Ameer Khatam-e-Nabuwat Sindh Nazir Ahmed Taunsvi died on spot while Mufti Mohammad Jamil was taken to the hospital in a serious condition where he breathed his last and was martyred.
How do you say "Rosebud!" in Urdu?
Mufti Jamil was a member of JUI's general council and was considered a staunch supporter of the Taliban. He established many madrassas educational institutions for children all over the country, which were working under Iqra Rozatul-Atfal. Mufti Jamil went to London to participate in the international Khatam-e-Nabuwat conference during 9/11 but afterwards he was sent to the US where he was under custody for many days and was investigated about links with Al-Qaeda and Taliban. He was released later on.
'Scuse me? This doesn't sound right. Is he one of the detainees released from GTMO, or was that a cover story for the home boyz...
Maulana Jamil was part of the delegation, which went to talk Mullah Omar in Afghantistan after 9/11.

#11  Perhaps a fatwa on Al-Qaeda is in order, Mr. Maloney?

#10  Once the mid-East is stabilized can't we require that they get real names such as Jimmy-Tom-Bob-Joe Jones, etc.

#9  Mufti Mohammad Jamil is also a director of the Binori Madrassa complex, the heart of Deobandi Jihad, meaning he was an important Learned Elder of Jihad.

I'd find it highly unlikely that the Musharraf government had anything to do with the killing, it is likely either a sectarian killing, or even a killing by Al Qaeda types who regard Pakistan's top Jihadi clerics as sell-outs for not being supportive of the Jihad in Saudi Arabia and Waziristan.

#8  Its all part of Musharraf's "paint every barn with their blood" campaign.

I fully support this campaign to turn older-color decaying barns blood red again. It should be a community project.

#7  The Khatam-e-Nabuwat is the group who has spearheaded the anti-Ahmadi movement. Maybe an Ahmadi decided that that non-violent Jihad thing could be ignored just this once.

#1  What are the odds that Musharraf is sending out assassination teams to kill these guys?
