No space for violence in Islam, says Gilani
2012-02-05
[Dawn] Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani
... Pakistain's erstwhile current prime minister, whose occasional feats of mental gymnastics can be awe-inspiring ...
 has said that there is no space for terrorism, militancy or extremism in Islam and those involved in such activities cannot even claim to be Moslems.

The prime minister, in his message on the occasion of Eid Milad-un- Nabi (PTUI!) being celebrated on Sunday, said: "Those, who spread disorder and chaos, cannot even claim to be Moslems as the scourges of terrorism and extremism are incompatible to the essence of Islamic teachings."

Gilani said Islam, a universal religion, guides the humanity to the path of peace, security and welfare.

He said Islam does not allow anyone to spread violence and strife on the face of earth and forbids people to kill others.

The premier said since Islam preaches peace and love, therefore, those, who enter its fold, become the embodiment of the same.

Right, right. Aside from that long list of exceptions known as "The Koran."

It's in the Koran (for those who haven't seen it already)

#6  All of what he said is true...IF you are talking about his particular sect. If you are not a member of his particular sect then you are not a human and all bets are off.
