‘I stole from sinners and gave to jihadis’
2004-05-23
The head of a gang of robbers recently arrested said on Saturday that his victims were only infidels and he gave all his stolen goods to jihadi organisations. The thief, alias Yasir Arafat, who was arrested by Model Town police on Friday, claimed his actions were not an offence under Islam. “I started to rob people because there was a lack of funds for the jihadi organisations. I never spent any money on myself, I gave everything to my fellow jihadis. And we only robbed people who did not follow their religion,” he said. Mr Arafat said he had fought jihad in Kashmir and Afghanistan and been jailed several times for his religious beliefs, even by the Taliban. “I was detained in Afghanistan because I didn’t agree with their policies. They did not follow Islam, they just oppressed people,” he said.
"Only I follow Islam. The rest of them bastards fakes it!"
When he came back to Pakistan, he decided to form his own jihadi organisation. “All Jihad organisations in Pakistan work under the intelligence agencies so I made my own,” he said. Mr Arafat said jihad was needed in Pakistan more than in Kashmir or Afghanistan. Many innocent people were arrested and put in prison even though there was no proof against them, he said.

#4  And just think, there is a whole region of miswired nutcases like that running amuck as we speak. Below is his story, sung to the tune of "The Ballad of Jesse James:"

Yasir Arafat was his name
a handle kind of lame
"Walk the True Path" he did implore
He robbed all the sinners
But was jugged by the winners
And now he doesn't jihad any more

#3  Islam: a black hole into which all morality disappears without a trace.
