| Rashid says Muslims canât deny jihadi culture |
| 2003-12-27 |
| LAHORE: Federal Information Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad told a Pakistani television channel on Friday that one of the attackers of Thursdayâs suicide bomb attack on President Musharraf seemed to be a foreigner. He also said the jihadi culture in Pakistan could not be changed and he who denied jihad had no place in Islam, adding âBut whether or not it is jihad can only be decided by the State.â He said the police was not trained enough to counter terrorism and terrorist networks cannot be breached. He said, âSecurity arrangements need to be scientific, but we are not well equipped.â Well that settles it, then. Canât do nothing, what with cultural sensivities about jihad, and all. Might as well blame the scientists, they are as good scapegoats as anyone else, and less likely to get offended Sheikh Rasheed suggested that the president should shift to Islamabad for security reasons. |

| #3 Rivrdog---after reading postings of sermon highlights in the venue of the Palestinian Authority on Jihad Online, your suggestion of a bounty is an excellent one. People who publically advocate for the violent destruction of our nation and her people need to learn actions/consequences lesson. Those guys are all mouth. They prep the lemmings and fodder to do the dirty work. Money, Maddrasses, and Mullahs. Go after the 3M's and we will win the WoT. |

| #2 I can think of a solution here: every imam or mullah that issues a fatwa calling for jihad against the West or Westerners or Jews or Zionists gets a price on his head, payable on proof of his demise to whoever can make the best claim IN PUBLIC, that they killed him. After a while, a mullah bounty hunter culture will spring up over there, and that will put a severe damper on the fatwas that incite the jihadis. It's a tough culture, but we had one once, remember? How did we tame the Wild West? Long guns and short ropes, and no questions asked when you claimed a bounty. |

| #1 âBut whether or not it is jihad can only be decided by the State.â Wrong answer. The one who issues fatwas decides. And that means pretty much just about anyone. |
