LeJ's purpose in life is to murder anyone who's not of utmost religious purity, starting with Shiites but including Brelvis, Ahmadis, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Rosicrucians, and just about anyone else you can think of.

in the eastern city of Lahore after his return from a pilgrimage in Soddy Arabia,
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in their national face...
police spokeswoman Nabila Ghazanfar said.
"I can confirm his arrest," she said, adding that Ishaq will be produced in a local court on Friday.
Betcha he's out in five days or less. Any takers?
Police had started the paperwork but haven't done much else against him after his "provocative speech to spread sectarian hatred" at a religious gathering in Lahore earlier this month, police official Liaquat Ali said.
Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, regarded as Pakistain's fiercest Sunni cut-thoat group, was banned more than a decade ago by former president

in 1997 and is implicated in dozens of cases, mostly murder. He was released on bail in July last year after serving a jail term of nearly 14 years.
Since his release he had been frequently put under house arrest as his sermons raised sectarian tensions, officials said.
Ishaq was also accused of criminal masterminding, from behind bars, the 2009 attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore, which maimed seven players and an assistant coach, and killed eight Paks.
The attacks saw Pakistain stripped of its right to co-host last year's cricket World Cup.
