In Onward Muslim Soldiers I outline the political and religious philosophy of Syed Abul Ala Maududi, founder of the Pakistani political party Jamaat-e-Islami. I demonstrate that his views of jihad and the hegemony of Sharia are virtually identical to those of Sayyid Qutb of the Muslim Brotherhood, and that both are deeply rooted in traditional Islamic theology and law. In light of all that, this story is hardly surprising. Note also Durrani's reaction; he is, of course, a member of one of the groups Hayat was talking about. From the Big News Network:
A government official in Pakistan Saturday accused the country's religious parties of having links to the al-Qaida terror network.Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat told journalists in Islamabad that some recent arrests of al-Qaida suspects of some workers of the country's religious parties had allegedly sheltered al-Qaida suspects and had links to the network.
He did not say what actions the government would take against such parties, reported news agency PPI.
Reacting to Hayat's comments, Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani of the northwest frontier province urged the federal government to fire the interior minister.
This is nothing new,the radicals in Pakistan ,which is what most of this "third world" Islamic-toilet is made up of, are in step with OBL.
I am sure they're linked to the Taliban, as well.
That's a hell of a defense - shoot the messenger!
If the facts don't fit with your beliefs or desires, then hide the facts, get rid of the facts, in this case, "fire" the facts.
Lies within lies. Falsehoods and prevarications. An entire civilization built on lies and terror.

How much longer are we going to put up with this crap? We are letting thousands and thousands of Muslims in our countries and if they aren't actively seeking to overthrow our established governments then they are sympathetic to those who wish to do so. It is very little consolation to me that there are lots of "bad" Muslims around who aren't as zealous as Osama Bin Laden.
Is there such a creature as an honest, truthful politician in Pakistan?? Whatever, we must never
trust this nest of vipers spewing poison against the West from thousands upon thousands of religious Madrasses. Pakistan are home of the Taleban as well as sending their Jihadists out to maim, torture and kill in Kashmir. Come to think of it, my favourites, Al Margarine Muhjadeen in the U.K are mostly Pakistanis...
Morgane,
Saying that, most of the muslims in the UK are Pakistanis and are just as bad as their arabic "friends".
Pakistan: Religious parties linked to al-Qaida
Duh!!! No, really???
