(MQM) chief Altaf Hussain said on Friday that Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) Death Eaters are bigger threat to Pakistain than Taliban and Al Qaeda, DawnNews reported.

Speaking at a presser via telephone from London ‐ where he has been living in self-exile for the last two decades ‐ he said that Pakistain was facing a devastating threat in the shape of Islamic State, citing sudden appearance of its flags in the country specifically from southern Punjab to Islamabad.

Hussain said that Death Eaters were leaving Taliban outfits to join the new Lion of Islam group. "IS is more dangerous than Taliban and Al Qaeda," he said.

The MQM chief said that his party was the first to raise voice against increasing 'Talibanisation' 10 years ago, adding that nobody paid heed to his warnings then.

Lauding the role Pakistain Army was playing in fight against militancy in the country, Hussain said that army on its own cannot save the country from the existing threats and urged masses to put their input as well.
