Karachi, Pakistan — A right-wing Islamic alliance kicked off its election campaign in Pakistan on Sunday by denouncing President Pervez Musharraf as a U.S. stooge and saying Muslims were in a fight with Christianity.
Addressing a charged gathering of 5,000 supporters in Karachi, Maulana Sami-ul-Haq, a leader of the six party Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), accused U.S. President George W. Bush of deliberately targeting Muslim states like Afghanistan and Iraq.
"It's a fight between Cross and Islam which has started with the U.S. attack on Afghanistan," he said.
"We will have to establish in this election that we are against Bush and his partner-in-crime Mush," he said, referring to General Musharraf.
Mr. Haq's Muslim seminary in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province produced hundreds of recruits for the former Taliban regime in neighbouring Afghanistan, which sheltered the al-Qaeda network blamed for the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.

Islam-list
If people want on or off this list, please let me know.
State-run media, school indoctrination rather than education, or as in Pakistan's case, no education helps keep people with only one source of information.
This is not a war between the cross and Islam. The terrorists would try to make it one.
The ill-informed masses in the Islamic world should be shown how the US has freedom of worship and all denominations and religions are free of government controls.
If, however, the Islamists want to make it a war between the cross and Islam, well, bring it on.
We will see which god IS God!!
Good come-back! Any supporting information? Is not Christ the figurehead (if nothing else, I believe he is MUCH more, but for the sake of argument...) of the "infidels?"
That being the case (or you MAY argue not) are the muslims not obligated to convert or slay them?
Please enlighten me to you apparent new version of islam.
Good question!
It is my understanding that right wing, while it may have many different ideas in it, has at its core the belief in the power of the free market and capitalism. Islam tends to be much more socialistic with its hatred and outlawing of interest without which capitalism is not really possible.
I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong
