Saeed criticises clerics’ convention
2004-02-21
Jamaat-ud-Daawa (JD) Ameer Prof Hafiz Muhammad Saeed on Friday condemned the clerics who attended the government Ulema-o-Mushiaq convention and said they are responsible for damaging Islam. Addressing the Friday congregation at Jamia Qadssia, Mr Saeed said the ulema, who are extremists according to the government, are following Allah’s commands.
"Allah commands us to kill large numbers of people, y'know."
“We have no need to get permission from the government for jihad because according to Shariah, permission for jihad can only be sought from rulers who follow the path of jihad”, he said. Mr Saeed said the ulema who gave their support to President Pervez Musharraf are government agents and they have no connection to jihad. “There was not a single religious scholar at the convention who could recite the Quranic verses about jihad,” he said.
"... whereas those are the only ones I'm familiar with!"

Wow, now how convenient is that, eh? Old Allah, besides anticipating the Muslim's dire need for nukes, the insidious nature of MTV, the dangers of Britney's titties, and scores of other examples of omniscient prescience, has crafted a self-serving logic box that is unassailable! I'm converting to Islam today, dood!
