Anti-government movement will continue, says Qazi
2005-01-17
The demonstrations against the unjust rule of President General Pervez Musharraf will go on until he leaves one of the two offices he is assuming at present, said Qazi Hussain Ahmad, the president of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, while addressing the Jamaat-e-Islami's (JI) women wing on Sunday.

Departing for Saudi Arabia to perform Haj, Qazi pledged that the ongoing anti-government movement would gain momentum after his return to country. He said that efforts were underway to 'westernise' Pakistan and the religious alliance would resist the introduction of such an immoral culture. He said, "Moral values are on the decline in the western society and materialistic approach has paralysed their society with the absence of no mental and spiritual peace." Qazi said that Islam had given women rights while in other societies they were being exploited and reduced to be showpieces. He expressed satisfaction about the role of Jamaat-e-Islami women members in Parliament. Dr Qausoor Fardoos, the secretary general of the JI, said that in the garb of 'enlightened moderation' Musharraf had waged a war against his own people on the behest of western countries.
It being Qazi, there's really nothing I can say — the man's an institution in and of himself, which, I suppose is why his followers are committed. To him, I mean. But it's characteristic of Islamism to decry the depravity of "immoral" Western culture because of a few titties, while accepting as good and wholesome a propensity to blow other human beings into little pieces. Dare we opine that "Islam is not healthy for women and children and other living things"?
