| Cleric issues fatwa for 'jihad' against government |
| 2007-05-03 |
| Unidentified people have distributed a fatwa issued by a local cleric in Sara-e-Naurang town of Lakki Marwat, declaring jihad against the government and those who “support non-Muslims against Muslims”. Mufti Khalid Shah issued the fatwa written in Urdu on a single page and pasted on the walls of houses and mosques in Sara-e-Naurang town. Unidentified people later distributed the fatwa’s pamphlets in various parts of the town late on Monday night, residents told Daily Times. In his fatwa, Shah has urged militant organisations to wage “jihad” against the government, army, police, rangers, government employees, pro-government and western journalists, maulvis, judges, leaders of the Pakistan Muslim League, thinkers and poets “for supporting non-Muslims against Muslims in an Islamic country”. Shah’s fatwa also criticises the media for calling jihadis terrorists. |

| #13 It seems like Jihad is the Swiss Knife of problem solving with these folks. Is there nothing jihad can't do? [ open on Wahabbist mosque, Imam and terrorist arguing ] Terrorist: It's a war for Islamic domination! Iman: It's a spiritual quest! Terrorist: It's a war for Islamic domination! Iman: It's a spiritual quest, you donkey! CAIR Spokesman: [ enters quickly ] Hey, hey, hey, calm down, you two. Global jihad is both a spiritual quest and a war for Islamic domination! Here, I'll load up your bomb vest.. [ stuffs C-4 into pouches ] ..and issue a fatwah condoning it. [ hands imam a scroll ] [ Imam reads while terrorist straps on vest ] Iman: Wow, this sanctifies everything! Terrorist: And just look at my new vest! But will it detonate? CAIR Spokesman: Hey, global jihad threatens every other leading political ideology, 2 to 1. It's intolerant, and easy to trigger. Iman: And it's holy! CAIR Spokesman: Sure is! Perks up anything from a Friday sermon to a huge terrorist rally! Terrorist: Made from an exclusive non-percussive formula. Iman: I haven't even finished reading and I'm ready for more! Terrorist: But what about the Jews? CAIR Spokesman: Jews, shiites, even moderate Muslims, are wiped off of the map. [ Imam briefly shows fatwa to terrorist ] Iman: So, pal, what do you think? Terrorist: Oh, no problem, not with global jihad! [ CAIR Spokesman laughs continuously as he approaches the camera ] CAIR Spokesman: New jihad, for the greatest ideology you ever exploded! |

| #12 It seems like Jihad is the Swiss Knife of problem solving with these folks. It does not take much to get a Jihad justified. |

| #11 Screw that. Detonate their nukes in place. Every once in a while a gem of pure logic just leaps off of the page. |

| #10 That powder keg could be about to blow. We may have to step in indirectly to prop up the government and keep the nukes out of the hands of the Paki Islamo-nuts. Screw that. Detonate their nukes in place. You know, downtown Islamabad, every ten feet in the NWFP..... |

| #9 Shah’s fatwa also criticises the media for calling jihadis terrorists. For once the media gets it right. Ocassionally blind pigs find an ear of corn. “[The fatwa was issued] for supporting non-Muslims against Muslims in an Islamic country” Suppose a thug (robber) killed a Muslim storekeeper in a holdup in the USA. Further, suppose the thug just happened to be Catholic (or any other Christian denomination). Supporing a Muslim just because he is Muslim would be like supporting the thug who is Christian just because he is Christian--no matter that he is a murderer. These folks are really screwed up. |

| #3 I have a feeling that the government will issue a fartwa in the general cleric direction, or if cleric would seem to be issuing too many similar fatwas, they may provide some grounding with a rapid application of Pb. |
