Break ties with the dollar!
As quoted by daily Nawa-i-Waqt, the ex-Prime Minister of Malaysia and leader of the Muslim Ummah, Dr Mahatir Mohammad, said Muslims are not terrorists while America and its allies are terrorists. He said 9/11 was the brain child of America and Jewish lobby. The World trade centre was blown up using dynamite. He suggested that the Muslim world shall create a mutual fund. The Muslim countries can humble America if they break their ties with the dollar and rely on their own currencies. He said there is no need of reform but correct interpretation of the Holy Quran is required.

Some interesting facts
In daily Jang, columnist Munnoo Bhai reported some interesting figures. Afghan women produce an average of 7.5 children, compared to Nigerian women, who give birth to an average of eight children. The UAE is first in disparity between sexes, with 214 men for 100 women. Pakistan has the largest refugee populatin in the world with 11.2 million refugees counted in 2003. Iraqis send the largest number of political asylum seekers to Europe.

Fulla vs Barbie
As reported in daily Khabrain, security forces in Tunis are raiding shops to remove a doll named “Fulla” from the market. Police said the hijab wearing doll could trigger sectarian conflict in Tunis. The doll with full clothes, hijab and prayer mat is becoming more popular than Barbie dolls among Muslims girls. The report said Tunis doesn’t allow its women to wear hijab in public.

Qazi should learn jihad from Hassan Nasrullah
As reported in daily Jang, a member of Mutahida Qaumi Movement, Kanwar Khalid Younas, said in National Assembly that Qazi Hussain Ahmad should learn jihad from Hassan Nasrullah in Lebanon. The Hezbollah leader is not just sitting at home and ordering his members to wage jihad. He has practically taken part in jihad and his two sons have already been martyred. In contrast Qazi Hussain and his ilk want othersÂ’ sons to be killed in the name of Islam and have sent their own children to America for studies.

Muslim train off to wine shop
Sarerahe stated in Nawa-i-Waqt that the German Foreign Minister said that Islam is spreading like wild fire in Germany and Islamic syllabus should be introduced in German schools. The Germans blasphemed against Islam and now want to introduce Islamic syllabus in their schools whereas in Pakistan our rulers are trying to secularize the Islamic syllabus. What is going on? The Muslim Express train is going towards maykada (wine shop) and the Catholic Express train is going towards the Kaaba.

HezbollahÂ’s victory claim is ridiculous
As reported in daily Khabrain, Samir Jaigi, the Christian leader of March 14 group, while addressing a counter rally in Lebanon has said that HezbollahÂ’s claim of victory is ridiculous. Lebanon has faced destruction worth billions of dollars and lost 1,200 innocent citizens. The March 14 group consists of Sunni Muslims, majority leader in parliament Saad Hariri and Drouze party leader Walid Jamblat. Jaigi said there is a state within a state and free flow of arms shall be restricted in Lebanon. Only tears represent the emotions of the people of Lebanon.

New world order and Islam
As reported in daily Nawa-i-Waqt, the leader of Jamaat Islami Qazi Hussain Ahmad said the forces of imperialism and atheism have hijacked the world by plundering and spreading anarchy. The cowardly leaders are aligned with atheist forces to retain power. The Muslims should rise to impose Islam and peace on the whole world and to remove the cause of conflict. The uncivilized and atheist secular agenda, which is already on its death bed in Europe, is being imposed in Pakistan. Pope BenedictÂ’s statement is supporting President Bush, who has started the bloodshed of Muslims all over the world. The amendment in the Hudood bill is part of American imperialism and the atheist secular agenda.

Jinns stealing from a house
According to daily Jang, in Chohang Loharan Wala Khoh, jinns have started taking away things from the house of Shafiq Bhatti and sewing needles now appear in bed sheets. Oil lamps start burning mysteriously without oil. The jinns stole three new suits of the owner of house. Things start flying out of the house and crockery is broken within the closed showcases. The owner brought amils and pirs to get rid of them, but the jinns have proved more powerful.

Missiles in Dara Adam Khel
According to Daily Pakistan the DCO Kohat raided with frontier constabulary and captured 71 foreign-made missiles in an underground hideout in a remote area of Tor Chapar in Dara Adam Khel. The missiles were smuggled for terrorism by unknown tribesmen.

AQ Khan's financial advisor in jail
As reported in daily Khabrain, the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razaq, said that a Sri Lankan member of the international nuclear black market is in jail in Malaysia. President Bush had earlier charged that the Sri Lankan trader was financial advisor to Pakistani scientist AQ Khan.

Security doctrine of Dr Israr
Writing in Daily Pakistan, Dr Israr Ahmad opined that the crisis in Balochistan is becoming a dilemma after the death of Nawab Akbar Bugti. The international conspirators against Pakistan are exploiting the territorial politics of our country. The army and politicians both protect that system of feudals and sardars. He said he believes in the Islamic revolution, but until the ground realities donÂ’t favor the Islamic revolution, we have to be content with democracy. The father of Pakistan is Islam and its mother is democracy. Pakistan is divided into nationalities and has not become a nation. Only when Pakistan moves towards an Islamic revolution will Pakistan be unified as a nation. Today nobody is ready to think about this; that is why we are in a soup.

Dil wale dulhania lay jain ge
As reported in daily Nawa-i-Waqt, a friendship started on the internet resulted in marriage in Khanewal. The Indian bridegroom has reached Pakistan to take his bride back to India. Hundreds of people turned up at the wedding to have a peek at the Indian. When the bridegroom went to police station to report his departure, the police refused to take his bribe and told him that Pakistani police doesnÂ’t accept bribes and returned him the money. The groom was dumbfounded at this statement.

Carrots for others and stick for Pakistan
As reported in daily Pakistan, Lt Gen (Retd) Hamid Gul said that America is not satisfied with PakistanÂ’s progress on a lot of issues. He said dancing with the wolves is dangerous as you never know when a wolf will stop dancing and attack you. He said AmericaÂ’s target is not Osama bin Laden but the nuclear capability of Pakistan. America is using the policy of carrot and stick. He said the carrot is for someone else and the stick is for Pakistan.

Moon sighting or factional fighting!
As reported in daily Pakistan, a source close to Ruat-e-Halal Committee alleged that NWFP minister Maulana Amanullah Haqqani has maslaki (religious faction) differences with the head of central Raut-e-Halal Committee Mufti Munib ur Rehman. The NWFP government announced the start of Ramazan one day earlier to oppose the announcement of central Ruat-e-Halal Committee. The said Minister attacked and gate crashed the Ruat-e-Halal Committee meeting in Peshawar last year. The Central Raut-e-Halal Committee got no evidence of moon sighting from Peshawar. It announced its verdict after waiting two hours after consulting with all the four provinces.

#1  Well, thanks for all of this Fred. Some deep research indeed. I wonder though, if the source(s) of this were really meant to be read as news, or were just some local psychobabble captured.
