Karachi/Islamabad, 6 April (AKI) - (by Syed Saleem Shahzad) - The firebrand cleric of the Lal Masjid or Red Mosque in the capital Islamabad has given the Pakistani government one month's notice to curb "vice" or risk that the movement in the radical mosque takes matters into its own hands, even carrying out suicide attacks. "I give you one month notice to eliminate, gambling dens, video shops and brothels or after that we will do that ourselves," Maulana Abdul Aziz, the mosque's chief cleric announced during Friday prayers.
“Our movement is peaceful," he said. "The government too should stay calm. We've warned the government that if it ever tried to suppress us by force, thousands of students of Islamic seminaries (or madrassas) will retaliate with suicide attacks and they would never be able to control them," said Aziz. The cleric also announced that a Sharia or Islamic court will be established by the mosque, made up of ten religious scholars who will decide disputes and give their verdict in accordance with Islamic law.

That sounds fair.
We should certainly give this a chance.

The peace of the dead.
It looks like the Taliban is going to challenge the Musharraf regime. I guess they figure they have the numbers and the guns to do it. Expect trouble in Pakistan.
The Taliban and al Q want their hands on the nukes.
“Our movement is peaceful,” he said.
Whenever a muslim says the word peace, simply substitute the word violent and it will be accurate.
Ahhhh...you can smell the tolerance!
“Our movement is peaceful,” he said.
Peaceful suicide attacks.
I wonder, what will India do about this?
Why don’t they just throw this imbecile in the slammer?
Sounds like this speaker is included in the Nancy Pelosi talking points distribution list. How nice for them.
India knows they are on the Muslim list for destruction. They're not going to sit back and watch ultra Muslim crazies get their hands on nukes. If it appears that Musharraf is going down along with Pakistan's nukes, India will do something. So will the the US. I think India would even nuke them first.
Yes, all these vices must be stopped — people should not do any of the following haram things: dancing, singing, playing music instruments, watching television/plays/movies, playing sports, reading any books besides the Koran/hadiths, or shaving (for men that’s not allowed as all men are supposed to look like the great profit)
