#1 During his career, he had issued nearly 2000 fatwas.

This sounds like they may be counting fatwas from his AA moskk days, prolly should have an asterix uh astriks, one of these * by the record.

#3 On May 30, 2004, unidentified terrorists riding a motorbike shot dead Mufti Nizamuddin Shamzai, the chief of the hardline Deobandi Binori madrasa of Karachi and one of his sons and a nephew as he was returning to his house, located just across the road from the madrasa.

Hs pissed off Osama or Omar?

(We saw you playing chess through your widow. Tsk, tsk, tsk. . .)

If they eat their own leaders, there are fewer leadres we have to find. What's bad is that with no leaders, everybody is an independent agent, and that makes things harder to track, especially if one of the independent crazies has access to a WMD.

#4 Live by the sword, die by the sword--- metaphorically speaking, of course.

#5 Shamzai was the principal exponent of International Islamism which holds, firstly, that the loyalty of a Muslim is first to his religion and then only to the country of which he is resident or a citizen; secondly, that Muslims do not recognise national frontiers and hence have the right and the obligation to wage jihad anywhere to protect their religion; and, thirdly, that the Muslims have the right and the religious obligation to acquire and use weapons of mass destruction to protect their religion, if necessary.

It is this one particular stance that must be disavowed by all imam's who wish to preach in Western countries (and perhaps the entire world). Failure to do so with convincing sincerity is adequate justification for wiping militant Islam (and quite possibly Islam as a whole) from the face of this earth.

Anyplace that permits the preaching of this doctrine should rocket straight to the top of our Christmas list. It is nothing but a blatant declaration of outright war against secular cultures and should not be mistaken for anything else. This has zero to do with freedom of religion and everything to do with waging genocide.

In making such a statement, Shamzai deliberately crossed the line between religion and politics. That is where the gloves come off. I makes me wish we did off this slimeball.
