| Qazi sez the Islamic Revolution's begun |
| 2001-10-20 |
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Pakistan's leading Muslim cleric, moments after addressing the largest anti-American rally yet, said yesterday that an Islamic revolution had begun in Pakistan that would eclipse the 1979 revolution in Iran that brought the Ayatollah Khomeini to power. "It's bigger, no doubt, than in Iran. Everything is prepared," said Qazi Hussain Ahmad, leader of Pakistan's largest religious political party, Jamaat-e-Islami. The difference, he said, is that the Muslim leadership in Pakistan is divided and "we don't have the symbol of hatred the Iranians had with [Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi]." Qazi Hussain Ahmad sure would look good dangling from a rope. It's Pakland's business, but it might be a good idea to start breaking up Jamaat-e-Islami. |
