Jihadist mosque leader arrested while trying to flee in a burqa

Oh, the shame of it. Instead of opting for a glorious martyrdom, which he had exhorted so many others to choose, he "had to eventually try to run like a woman."

"Pak mosque leader arrested disguised in burqa," from AFP, with thanks to Morgaan Sinclair:

ISLAMABAD - Pakistani security forces arrested the leader of a radical mosque under siege in Islamabad as he tried to flee while disguised in a burqa on Wednesday, officials said.

Abdul Aziz was detained as he left the Red Mosque in Islamabad amid a crowd of women wearing similar attire, who were surrendering to the authorities a day after bloody clashes outside the building left 16 people dead.

Deputy information minister Tariq Azeem said it was a ‘farcical end’ to the cleric’s resistance.

‘After all the things he has said and all the oaths he took from his students that they should embrace martyrdom with him, look at this man, he had to eventually try to run like a woman,’ Azeem told AFP.

Officials said Aziz’s wife was also arrested but his brother, deputy mosque leader Abdul Rashid Ghazi, was still at large.

‘We caught Abdul Aziz when he was trying to escape the mosque clad in a burqa. He did not offer any resistance,’ added a top security official involved in the capture.

‘He was the last in a group of women all wearing the same clothes. He was wearing a burqa that also covered his eyes,’ the official said on condition of anonymity.

‘Our men spotted his unusual demeanour. The rest of the girls looked like girls but he was taller and had a pot belly.’

Hey, come on. Maybe he is pregnant.

The brother of the head "Imam" was caught trying to sneak out in a burqa. I guess they'll be calling him Abdul Aziz al-Burqa from now on.

Does the Koran say anything about cross-dressing?

Isn't it strange, imams, clerics, mosque leaders, whatever, always have others become the martyrs and never themselves.

That would be comical if not for the sixteen people killed because of this idiot. In the end, he showed his cowardice, they all do...

Profit Mohammed was a cross dresser. He dyed his hair red, wore women's clothes, and more. It's all in ahadith or sira. Zombie at LGF posted an e-mail she got from an apostate Muslim, citing all Muslim sources.

What is it about islamic men, dressed in burkas, little kids in tow seeking refuge in places of prayer? Oh those mighty islamic men. They're like fleas on a camels ass, you just can't get rid of them.

I found it!

Scroll down for links in original. Mohammed the cross dresser. There's much more funny commentary.

1- mohammed was a peroxide strawberry blond, he used to dye his grey hair red with henna till he died in his 60's, i want u to imagine the orange reddish color of henna on originally grey hair and its terrifying glow, isn't he a fashion victim or what? it didn't stop there he also ordered all the muslims to change their hair color to red when they grow old so they wouldn't look like the christians and the jews the sons of pigs and monkeys when they grow old!! as stupid as this sounds that's what islamic books state.
2- mohammed used to wear aisha's dresses!! oh yeah, and i wonder how he wore them! he married her when she was six, yeah that's right six, and he died when she was 18 so they must have been pretty tight showing all his curves and shit, ewwww. and here is my proof.
3- mohammed used to wear eye-liner 3 times a day!! and here is my proof from muslim's islamic biography of mohammed as well.

Posted by: rational

Yeah, and more accurate than you, we all can probably imagine. Remember the photo of the Imam deep-kissing that boy, as the Imam guided the child's hand where?

Why is Islam so sycophant, so deviant and puerile within its leadership (ala Arafat, et. al), while insisting that it's adherents not be? Do they somehow think that their Allah will excuse these savage, immoral affronts?

A Superior way of Life??! Riiight..

Posted by: localmalcontent [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 4, 2007 4:18 PM

At the sight of this potbellied goofball, the 72 virgins whom he would have martyred for, would probably wilt, hence the reason he was not martyre material.

Amazing how they will stoop to any level for their own benefit, no matter how it violates their self-proffessions...

Cowards like that imam like to incite other people to violence ,suicide bombings, etc but are gutless cowards when it comes their way.

Posted by: callmeinfidel [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 4, 2007 4:40 PM

They fight like girls and run like girls.

Nothing new here.

The only time they act tough is when they're picking on someone smaller.

===============

Let me ask a question, which way would you rather die:

In a painless split second flash of explosion, assured that you were going straight to pig-heaven?

Or,

Gut-shot, riddled with schrapnel, beat down and bleeding out on the ground in a prisoner of war pen?

Easy choice?

Now you understand jihaddi "courage".

To the tune of "Dude, (Looks Like A Lady)"
with apologies to Aerosmith


(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady

Abdul-Aziz lead a riot at the Lal Masjid
Said Sharia was all the Pakis could need
But the security forces had him in their site
So he put on a burqa and fled into the night
That's right

(That, that)
In a crowd of women dessed in similar attire
Didn’t know his pot belly would give him away
but a funny thing would soon transpire
When security whipped out their guns
Poor Abdul-Aziz had nothing more to say

(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady

Can’t ask a coward to be a martyr
So with Musharraf he must now barter
Yeah the Pakis got wise to the mullah in disguise
when they checked under the veil
Lord imagine their surprise

(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady

and will it matter to the would be maryyrs Aziz "inspired" that he dressed as a women and tried to flee fearing martyrdom?they are blind fanatics and don't realize what a sham thier whole Jihad movement.

Posted by: SAtarzan [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 4, 2007 5:23 PM

Mohammed the cowardly cleric - I think you should AlWAYS wear a burqa!!! LOL!

Posted by: darcy [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 4, 2007 5:29 PM

Maybe Aziz wears a burka all the time. Has anyone here ever seen Aziz without a burka? I thought not.
A rush to judgement, the next thing, you will be accusing Aziz of being gay. Are all muslim male burka wearers gay? Probably not. Terrorists might wear burkas, crossdressers might, muslims trying to sneak around on their wives might, peeping toms (Abdallahs), might, the average muslim, probably not. Of course Aziz is an imam. We dont know what a fashionable imam might don for liesure wear around the mosque. If they have to leave in a hurry, or unnoticed, they just go. I am sure that Aziz is embarrassed by getting caught, and will have a valid explanation...I can see it now 'hey sister, what you wearing under that burka'?

Posted by: duh_swami [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 4, 2007 5:31 PM

Burqas as a weapon of war? They certainly enable the free passage of fighters. Women are being forced to wear suffocating attire just so that the guys can camouflage themselves and run away from a fight? Jihad, shmeehad!

Re: ‘After all the things he has said and all the oaths he took from his students that they should embrace martyrdom with him, look at this man, he had to eventually try to run like a woman,’ Azeem told AFP.


I can just see Abdul Aziz answering a Pakistani security force officer in a falsetto voice and the police officer saying to himself "something isn't right here" as the officer takes a step back to look at Abdul Aziz with a quizzical expression. Maybe Mr. Abdul Aziz will find refugee status in San Fransisco and continue his transgender jihad there.

My such bravery. Isn't funny how islam is justified sinking to ANY levels when it benefits?

Posted by: screaming_eagle [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 4, 2007 5:45 PM

ROFLMAO! The heroic leader of radical Paki Muslims, running like a little whipped dog, pretending to be a woman! His followers must be SO proud. Maybe next time someone tells them to strap on a bomb vest or drive a car with explosives they should say "you first, lead the way". Like all Muslim leaders they get the sheep to do their bidding while they stay home and get fat, lol! This is what we are supposed to fear? Men pretending to be women? Maybe they should give him what he wants, castrate the bastard and make him a real woman. He would probably enjoy that. Bet that isn't the first time the old sod has worn a burqa. Did he shave his beard and wear makeup too? Anybody have links with photos? I would love to see some film of this!

Posted by: Timur [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 4, 2007 6:08 PM

I don't see how he got caught. All the muslim women over 35 have a pot belly!

Posted by: Isabellathecrusader [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 4, 2007 6:20 PM

From the previous story:
"They are happy. They only want martyrdom. They don't want to go home,"
So Abdul Aziz felt at home in his burqa, locked inside with all those young men? I bet he's going to be REAL popular in jail, lol.

Posted by: Timur [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 4, 2007 6:22 PM

"Mohammed, does this Burqa make my ass look fat? "
"Does it come in anything other than basic black? "

After having abdicated our levers to self-defense, we're left to spot pot bellies. Such a proud moment for law enforcement. Sigh.

Posted by: Alarmed Pig Farmer [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 4, 2007 6:51 PM

Perhaps Abdul Aziz could be interviewed by Begum Nawazish Ali to share his cross-dressing experiences….

His fellow radicals always wondered why their Imam had the burqa with a matching handbag and purse in his closet....
Gives new meaning to the term, "I ma'am".

Posted by: Timur [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 4, 2007 6:59 PM

oh man, I can't believe this! This month surelly did not start well for islamo-nazis. First the Jihad doctors, and the failed mass murder in London and Glasgow. NOW, a proemint pakistani islamic leader is caught trying to RUNAWAY dressed as a WOMAN.
LOL

Allah must be shaking his head and thinking "man, and to think I could have chosen the Buddhists to be my followers...."

I come inside briefly from my job today as 'grill-chef' to Wish each of You a Very Happy Independence Day, and hope that all ya'll are having a terrific time too.

I don't comment here that often, since my feelings are usually already expressed in the topics of J/W articles.

Just be aware that in Red Oklahoma, you priceless patriots of America and of our ways of life, have a "compatriot" here, among many others, upon whom you can always rely.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA!!

That burka is not all it's cracked up to be. You would think that it is cool and loose on a hot day, but, I ran into a muslim hooker wearing a burka (sort of) dress while in Toronto last week, and buddy-buddy-buddy, the smell that came wafting up from her was epic. She was working the lot at a truck stop off the QEW there, and one of the drivers told her he would pay her 10 bucks if she would raise it up so he could take a peek. I was standing 10-15 feet away, so didn't get all the conversation, but I did get the aroma. The driver refused to give her the promised 10er so an argument broke out, and that was it for me. I dont want any part of an argument with someone from the islam crowd. I preach patience and tolerance, so if the cops ever ask you guys, tell them I was here with you all the time, preaching patience... and tolerance.

This is the way they dress durring jihad it's much easier to mungle with the other shields.

Maulana Abdul Aziz's Escape: Hamid Mir Reveals
posted by A for [pine]Apple at 11:15 PM on July 04, 2007
Just an hour back Hamid Mir revealed an interesting tale behind the arrest of Maulana Abdul aziz at around 8:30 PM. According to his higher official sources, the escape was not foiled by the rangers but 6 ITP women officers. They were appointed to check the female students coming out for any ammunition.
Officers were inspecting a group of 6-8 female students clad in Burqa when the girls started screaming that please don't inspect our Auntie, she's elderly and is sick. This struck right - female officers tightened their hold on the Auntie and when they unveiled her his niqab - he was Maulana Abdul Azizi Ghazi. Rangers and higher officials immediately took hold of the situation. Um e Hasaan, wife of Maulana sahab and Principal of Jameya, was also arrested. Daughter of Maulana sahab, who was accompanying then, ran off back to Lal Masjid seeing the situation.
Hamid Mir further reported that I personally am very saddened to know that Maulana Sahab not only tried to escape the Lal masjid wearing a Burqa; but also as Auntie.

Hi, i remember a while back JW ran the story of Alan Johnston, the journo kidnapped in Gaza. Now that the issue has been resolved, im rather perplexed by JW's lack of coverage on the matter. Heres some info, Alan Johnston was freed following a concerted effort by the Islamic group Hamas and a reglious edict(fatwah) issued by an Imam. Hamas as you all know were democratically elected by the Palestinians, but democracy was stabbed in the back by our neo-con and zionist friends. Fatah undemocratically obstructed Hamas's right to power and were forced out of the Gaza Strip by Hamas, in what was an amazing military achievement. Also for an attack fought with machine guns, Hamas and Fatahs conflict resulted in less civilian deaths(callateral when done by west, terrorism when its by muslims) than most "precision" Israeli air strikes, infact precision is an accurate word to describe israeli strikes on civilians.
The streets of Gaza are now under the control of Hamas, the party the Palis(who dont exist) voted for, and Gaza is now peaceful and relatively stable, untill the Israeli war machine next decides to unleash some suppressed anger,(something to do with 50 or 60 years ago) I apologize for the Alan Johnston issue not being resolved in the manner which im certain spencer and you lot wanted, may you forgive us for not giving you the ending you wanted, but im sure this ending is one most appreciated by Johnston and his family.

Ricky, you are posting the same comment on multiple threads. That is considered spamming or bombing and is not allowed. Play nice or you won't be allowed to play here. You and your Muslim friends will have to find someplace else.

Posted by: Timur [TypeKey Profile Page] at July 5, 2007 8:04 AM

This is reminiscient of Saddam, reading from his Qur'an at the gallows. He encouraged martyrdom against the infidel oppressor and even glorified the death of Uday and Qusay.

When it was his time to answer the call, he balked. Dragged from his spider hole while washing his socks.

Cowards the lot of them are.

Do you take the 'little bus' to school every day? "an amazing military achievement."? It truly is like islam is full of children, dangerous ignorant kids, thats all.

Dar al-harb: LOL!

No man, c'mon, trust me, I didn't do a thing! The next time I'm in London Ont. @ the Flying J, I'll shoot some video of a pair of Muslim hookers that work the lot there, then you will know why I dont 'go there'.
