| Jamaat ad-Dawa condemns attack on church. Really. |
| 2002-12-27 |
| Jamaat-ul-Dawa, Pakistan Thursday condemned the terrorist attack on Church in a village of Sialkot last night that claimed deaths of four young girls and left 18 injured. "Islam teaches the Muslims to provide full protection to the minorities and the attack is against the bright teachings of Islam," Amir Hamza, central leader of the Jamaat stated in a release issued here. The Jamaat ad-Dawa is the parent organization of Lashkar e-Taiba. If Amir Hamza is the same as Sheikh Mir Hamza, he's one of the signatories of Binny's declaration of war against us... He said the attack on peaceful Christians on Church "is an act of the enemies of Islam and State of Pakistan as such acts of terrorism serve nothing to Islam and our beloved Pakistan." Islam he said teaches "us" to protect life and property of the minorities and does not permit to attack peaceful people, especially belonging to minorities. Gotta take care of those dhimmis, so they can pay their taxes to the Muslims... He further said that presence of the US intelligence agents in Pakistan could be a source of such attacks but the act took place in a village of Sialkot has no linkage with the hate against foreign interference in the country. "Yeah! Them infidels prob'ly did it!" |
