| [DAWN] Jamaat-e-Islami ... The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independentbranch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... chief Professor Mohammad Ibrahim on Monday declared the rulers the main hurdle to the introduction of Islamic system in the country and urged the people to find new leadership for the purpose. "The ruling class fears Islamic system will hurt its interests and therefore, it is creating hurdles to this system's introduction in the country," he told a public meeting in Khaishgi area here. Jamaat-e-Islami leaders Mirajuddin and Anwarul Islam also spoke on the occasion. Professor Ibrahim said the people could change the country's politicianship if they really wanted resolution of their problems. He said children should be given modern education along with Islamic education so that they could help the country meet internal and external challenges. The JI leader said children were the country's future as they would become doctors, engineers, professors and politicians in future. He said it was the duty of teachers to train children in such a way that they contributed to national progress well. "Now-a-days, the world is led by the West due to the wrong polices of Islamic world. The Moslem rulers should correct their polices for the benefit of Moslems in the world," he said. Professor Ibrahim said his party was striving to bring about an 'Islamic revolution' in the country. He said there were 60 Moslem countries but they lacked unity. "Moslems need to unite to lead the world again," he said. The JI leader said the country could prosper by introducing Islamic system of governance. "Our rulers come to power by securing people's votes but they later forget election promises and begin plundering the national wealth," he said. |
