Taliban are coming!
Columnist Nazir Naji wrote in Jang that the Taliban are now capable of striking successfully throughouts Pakistan. They can also take over areas because the network of madrassas is sympathetic to them and some of them are liable to act as their agents.

Americans are coming!
Famous TV personality Dr Shahid Masood wrote in Jang that Interior Adviser Rehman Malik had named Baitullah Mehsud as the planner of the attack in Lahore at Manawan without proof while he was scared to blame the Americans for it. (Zaban kanpti hai.) Rehman held the keys of the treasures of Qarun (richest man in Islamic history) from Spain to London and that was made possible by avoiding to name America.

Spring season in Sargodha
During a musical evening at Circuit House in Sargodha to celebrate spring, people became too happy. As reported in Jang some guests took too many drinks and became inebriated after which they climbed the stage where a dancing girl was showing her talents. The report said that after men climbed on the stage only the cries of the dancer could be heard.

Police recruits at Manawan were hungry
According to Jinnah the 850 police recruits at the training school at Manawan were hungry and hardly in a state to fight the terrorists because their weapons store had only ten rifles and a box of bullets; and because they were hungry. Since a month earlier their food was not supplied because of a slash in the school budget because of an objection from the AG office.

Munawar Hasan for global jihad
The new Jamaat Islami chief Munawar Hasan was quoted by Nawa-e-Waqt as saying that he did not accept India as a state. He said the government of Taliban in Swat was not of Jamaat Islami; it belonged to the ANP and it was not acceptable as a government. He said he would support the jihadi organisations all over the world.

Most judges are corrupt
Talking to Khabrain Justice (Retd) Shahid Siddiqi stated that 60 percent of the judges in Pakistan were corrupt, Senior judges get junior judges to issue wrong judgements. He said 60 percent of the judges accepted bribes while writing judgements.

RAW and Baitullah Mehsud
Quoted in Khabrain General (Retd) Abdul Qayyum, famous for getting the Supreme Court to de-privatise Pakistan Steel Mills which he headed, stated that Baitullah Mehsud was being supported by RAW. He said that Benazir was killed by the superpowers (read America) therefore their puppet organisation the UN was in no position to find her killer.

Swat whipping an NGO plot
Reported in Jang famous Pakistani cleric Mufti Munibur Rehman 'modified' his earlier reaction to the whipping of a 17 year old girl in Swat by saying that the incident was concocted by an NGO and that people who protested against the whipping were negating Islamic punishments.

Blasphemer beheaded in jail
According to Jang, someone named Anis was brought to Sanghar jail in Sindh for having insulted the Holy Prophet PBUH. After his arrival the criminals serving their sentences became incensed because of their high religious values. They formed a mob and attacked Anis against whom the case of blasphemy had not yet been proven. They criminals fired several bullets into his head after which they beheaded him and threw away his head.

Hamid Mir attacked
Daily Jang columnist and TV anchor Hamid Mir faced enraged Deobandi clerics of Rawalpindi and Islamabad when they attacked his office and accused him of 'working for someone else' when he wrote in a 26 March 2009 column in which he had criticised the great Deobandi leader Husain Ahmad Madni because he had opposed Allama Iqbal and Pakistan Movement. He had later apologised but the protesters were not satisfied and threatened to attack him.

Against 'liberal fascists'
Popular columnist Irfan Siddiqi wrote in Jang that the 'liberal fascists' showed their extremism by condemning the incident of whipping a teen-aged girl in Swat. Domestic ladies enjoying be-mahaar (unbridled) freedom became aroused by propaganda and newsreaders on TV channels began to froth from the mouth. Are the NGOs free of blame for planting the video? If the teen-aged girl was a victim in Swat what about Afia Siddiqi who is in American custody?

#4  Yes but only if liberalism means what it used to mean instead of what it means now. Take for example the "liberal" reaction to Miss California. She got a public whipping and the liberal fascists not only failed to publically condemn it, but said she was "fair game".

Oh? We describe piety differently outside Dal al Islam.

The report said that after men climbed on the stage only the cries of the dancer could be heard.

That sounds like group rape to me, .5MT. Am I missing a key detail?

True. Had they acquiesced, they would have been grouped with the Muslim fascists, and not be liberals at all. Liberalism is not always a bad thing.
