| We always knew there was money in jihad... |
The United States and its allies have crippled the economy of the Muslim countries by taking over their resources and the only way to recover from its crippling impacts is to wage jihad, said Senator Khursheed, naib amir of the Jamaat-e-Islami at the three-day JI international annual congregation at Azakhel.

He said that the Almighty had directed Muslims to increase their power which included economic strength. "We have given up jihad and have accepted the western hegemony which has enslaved us," said the JI senator.

He said that western multi nationals had occupied 87 percent of the resources of the Muslim world in the name of social uplifting through institutions like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). He said that these institutions had deployed their puppets as rulers in the Muslim countries. He said that Britain had been indebted to India before 1945 but the scenario had been later reversed. He added that the third world especially of the Muslim world, were being controlled under guise of debt manoeuvring. He said this has resulted in the accumulation of debt against the Muslim world to $150 billion.
| The fact that it's debt implies that money was loaned for a purpose, to whit, investment. Since the money was raked off by corrupt pols instead of being invested, you've still got the debt and nothing to show for it. That's your problem, not ours. Pay up and shut up. |
| Don't worry, a bleeding heart do-gooder will be along any moment to demand that we forgive these loans ... |
He said that the free market economy and globalisation were basically the means of an economic war against the Muslim world. He added that while 500 multi nationals controlled the world's economy, 1.5 billion people had slipped below the poverty line. The only way to salvation for the Muslim world was through self-reliance, he said. He added that the West's strategic superiority was frivolous and that there was no need to be impressed by their economic and military might. He added that in Iraq, the US despite its armed might, had failed to control the barehanded innocent Iraqi people. He said that western financial institutions had taken over $130 billion worth of liquidity, which could not be utilised for the development of the Muslim world. He urged the Muslim world to develop professional human resources to counter the challenge posed by the colonial powers.
