Fazlur Rehman: calling for murder

“Anyone killed by US is a ‘martyr’: Fazlur Rehman,” from the Express Tribune, November 5 (thanks to Block Ness):
ISLAMABAD: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, while talking to the media in Islamabad on Tuesday, stated that anyone killed by the United States, even if it is a dog, is a martyr, Express News reported.
He said this when he was questioned regarding the death of the late Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leader Hakimullah Mehsud who was killed by a US drone strike on November 1.
He also said that “a lot of people still want peace negotiations and therefore the negotiations should not stop.”
“JUI-F wants to move forward with the peace negotiations together with the other parties,” he added.
“We will do anything for the country,” he further stated.
Soon after speaking to the media, the JUI-F chief reiterated at the National Assembly that “anyone killed by the US is a martyr, even if it is a dog.”…
