#1 Supporting the idea of suicide attacks, he said Muslim youth would continue to wage jihad against the neo-imperialism of the US; they would blow up their own bodies with bombs. He questioned whether the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington had been planned by the US itself with the motive to create hostility for Muslims.

Pretty funny writing both thoughts next to each other like that. I suppose it appeals to those with sub-zero logical capabilities.

When Allah says in the Quran make ready your horses, its means in the current scenario that we should make atomic bombs to defeat infidels.

If Haq can reinterpret the Quran "in the current scenario," then why can't his contemporaries do the same? For example, why must the Quran's teaching about women's social roles be interpreted strictly in the context of seventh-century desert tribes and not "in the current scenario" of a 21st-century global society? The same question applies to other issues such as financial interest, inter-faith relationships, and civil, criminal and international laws.

#4 Mike-
You hit the nail on the head. Islamists only use a modern interpretation of the Quran when it suits their interest. When they attack on horseback with swords, then you'll know they're true Muslims.
