2,000 rally for Pakistan jihad

"The blood for the martyrs of Red Mosque and Jamia Hafsa will not go waste!" Tiny Minority of Extremists Update from Associated Press (thanks to all who sent this in):

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – Chanting slogans in favour of jihad, about 2,000 women from Pakistan's hardline Islamic parties rallied in the capital Tuesday in support of the radical former leaders of Islamabad's Red Mosque.

Demonstrators gathered outside the sprawling Faisal Mosque urged the government to enforce Islamic laws in the country.

At least 102 people were killed in fighting when security forces raided the Red Mosque and its adjoining seminary for girls after its deputy chief cleric Abdul Rashid Ghazi and his associates holed up inside and refused to lay down arms.

"The blood for the martyrs of Red Mosque and Jamia Hafsa will not go waste!" the demonstrators chanted.

Qazi Hussain Ahmed, the chief of Pakistan's main Jamaat-e-Islami party, told the crowd his group would build new seminaries to replace the one at the Red Mosque, which was at the centre of the rebels' resistance and was torn down by authorities last week.

Thsre's an awful lot of inner spiritual....errr...Hiraba....errr...Jihad they got going over there.

The biggest problem Pakistan's hardline Islamic parties seem to face is a lack of raving lunatics who wear dodgy looking black bags. Two thousand isn’t very many out of one hundred and sixty four million people.

So I would like to suggest, and I’m sure they read this site that they recruit bag wearers from Britain. We have loads spare.

I sense a bloody Friday coming in three days, right after Friday (incitement) prayers.

Time for a good old Mil. Dictator beatdown - or so one would think...with bulldozers.

You’re right Alaskan I expect an Islamic Rage Boy update on Saturday morning.

Looks like Darfur is going to get some attention.

“The UN Security Council has voted to send the world's largest peacekeeping force into Darfur to help stop years of bloodshed.”

Sky News.

Does that mean sufficient damage has been done so now the politicians at the UN are going to dress it up for their benefit and try to sell it as a silk purse? Because it has looked like a pig’s ear for millions of people for far too long (the living ones that is).

They want the express lane to paradise.

Accomodate them.

"Chanting slogans in favour of jihad, about 2,000 women from Pakistan's hardline Islamic parties rallied in the capital Tuesday in support of the radical former leaders of Islamabad's Red Mosque."

LOL Are we sure they were women, and not a bunch of "Aunties"?

Actually, I'd say the Pakistani jihaddists are falling on pretty hard times if they can only find a lousy 2,000 women (or men concealing their gender) to demonstrate in the streets of Islamabad in favour of jihad.

I mean the Iranians managed to find 40,000 women who pledged to be suicide martyrs against Israel a year or so ago, didn't they?

Pakistan is a jihadi state in itself.
The constitution of Pakistan declares Allah as its sovereign and those few non-Muslims who have survived are reduced to a status less than second class citizens. That explains the low turnout.
What the heck do the PakiTalibs want ?
