#1 The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan defines Ahmadiyya as a "non-Muslim minority." Why? Pakis brought in some Wahabi scholars to make fatwah on the issue, and they decided that the minority weren't good slaves of allah. Surely, that Constitution trumps American law?

Can Ahmadiyyahs make the Mecca pilgrimage? I don't know, but the Saudis allow hated Shiites, Sufis, Ismailis, Farahkhanists, etc to do so.

#2 An after thought: that Urdu weekly claims to distribute 15,000 copies. Less than 10% of Pakis speak that official language. How many Pakistanis are in Houston? Did they come for the chicken fried steak?

#3 Our Constitution guarantees freedom of religion. That includes the freedom to worship any way or no way that you choose. Those trying to suppress one religion because it's different from theirs are not Americans, either in reality or spirit. They don't belong in this nation. Extradite them to whatever Islamic shitistan they came from. They don't belong here.

#4 I see death threats in the US as a great opportunity, if they are serious. That is, there are all sorts of ways to set up an ambush to take out assassins.

Such dumbasses can easily be lured into a rural location, hoping to put a hit on someone they hate, then find themselves SOL. Usually, no one else knows where they have gone or what they are intending to do, either, so they just disappear.

Even the FBI could set up such a trap, to catch Muslims willing to murder. For example, they could let slip that Hirsh Ali will be having a meeting with Salman Rushdie in an isolated house in the middle of the backwoods.

They would have to take several unusual roads just to get there, and would be waltzing around with deadly and probably illegal weapons.

What a gimmee.

#5 The article is in the Houston Chronicle. I imagine the Pakistan Times will be getting new ads purchased in the near future -- Texans can be so open and supportive, I hear. :-)
