Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Ameer Qazi Husain Ahmad said on Thursday President General Pervez Musharraf wanted to remove the Quran and Sunnah from the Constitution and add the Legal Framework Order (LFO).
And this is a bad thing because...? | Addressing a JI leadersâ workshop at Mansoora, he said General Musharraf was a United States ally in the âso-calledâ anti terrorist campaign against Muslims and he was trying to amend the Constitution. He said, âThe articles based on the Quran and Sunnah could be ejected from the Constitution.â He said some âwesternizedâ women had urged the Hadood Ordinance be taken out of the Constitution because it discriminated against women. Mr Ahmed called this move a âpart of the American agenda to secularise Pakistan.
Oh, horrors! Oh, hold me, Ethel! | He said the US had tightened its hold on Islamic movements and had even banned Islamic welfare trusts and it wanted to âcrushâ the madrassas. âThe September 11, 2001 attack is Americaâs lame excuse to crush Muslims. Christians, Jews and Hindus have united against Muslims,â he said. |
