A lid on Lashkar, Jaish takes jihadi centrestage in Pakistan
|
 [Indian Express] The crowd had gathered for prayer on the last Friday in January at the Jamia Masjid Usmania -- it is one of three in the village of Gumtala in Pakistain Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....
-- in memory of a man whose only obituary records just a single name, Tahir, killed somewhere in India and buried in a grave with no headstone. "Islam is a world power and cannot be destroyed," the holy man who led the congregation said, "whoever tries to destroy it will be destroyed himself. He went on: "Jihad is the most important obligation of our faith."
For the past three months, that man -- "General of the Jaish-e-Muhammad, Mufti General of Jaish-e-Mohammad
...literally Army of Mohammad , a Pak-based Deobandi terror group founded by Maulana Masood Azhar in 2000, after he split with the Harkat-ul-Mujaheddin. In 2002 the government of Pervez Musharraf banned the group, which changed its name to Khaddam ul-Islam and continued doing what it had been doing before without missing a beat...
Mufti Abdul Rauf Asghar", as the terrorist group’s house journal al-Qalam, identifies him -- has been holding similar rallies across Pakistain, openly recruiting new cadre and raising funds.
Even as Islamabad sought to signal its commitment to act against terrorism last month by detaining Lashkar-e-Taiba
...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned , always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...

, and saying it was considering proscribing its parent political group, the Jamaat-ud-Dawa
...the front organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba...
, the Jaish has emerged centrestage on the jihadi landscape.
The Jaish is proscribed in Pakistain, and its chief Masood Azhar Alvi, Asghar’s elder brother, has been detained in an Islamabad house, after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif

conceded it carried out last year’s terrorist attack at the Pathankot airbase. But on ground, the group is operating with growing impunity.
In tehsil Yazman of Bahawalpur, another report records, the Jaish ideologue Abdul Rasheed delivered a Friday sermon, where he introduced the organization to the 400-strong congregation. The holy man spoke, it says, of the "painful story of the sufferings of the Moslem nation, and called on the people to join jihad to protect the people of the faith". "The lecture had a strange impact on the people," the report goes on, "and many promised to give active support to jihad."
