“US has offered a $10 million bounty on Saeed, who lives as a free man in Lahore.” That fact alone is enough to establish that Pakistan is not really an ally of the United States, and that all the billions of dollars of taxpayer money that Bush and Obama have given to the Pakistanis to fight terrorism has been wasted — and, as has been noted many times by many sources, much of it has gone to the jihadis themselves.
An update on this story. “Terrorist Hafiz Saeed Thanks ‘Brave Man’ Who Offered Three Son to Fight in Jihad,” by Divya Avasthy for International Business Times, March 5:
A Pakistani man has “sacrificed” his three sons to a life devoted to Jihad, in a publicly-held worker’s convention about 80 km away from Lahore.
Abu Haider handed over his sons to Hafiz Saeed, chief of Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JUD), a parent organisation of banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LET). The organization was implicated in the 2008 attacks on Mumbai in India, which claimed 166 lives.
LET is one of the largest and most active terrorist groups in Asia, and is suspected to be operating mainly from Pakistan.
US has offered a $10 million bounty on Saeed, who lives as a free man in Lahore.
“I hand over my three young sons to you for jihad (holy war). They will be now on your hands in your struggle,” Haider, himself a JuD activist reportedly said at the communal convention.
In response to the “generous” act, Saeed commemorated Haider as a “brave father”.
“Jihad is never waged against Muslims. It is against infidels. The infighting among Muslims is not jihad from any one group,” Saeed went on to say at the social occasion.
JUD, long recognised as a front for the Lashkar-e-Taiba, is also listed as an alias of the LET terror group by the United Nations Security Council.
Pakistan is accused of being inconsistent and arbitrary in its approach to fighting terrorism. Its authorities crack down on some, while giving a free hand to others. The Long War Journal reported that Pakistan had twice placed Saeed under house arrest since 2001, but had let him go under suspicious circumstances.
In the past, several other al-Qaida and Taliban leaders were released without serving due sentences in Pakistan, or exchanged for hostages.
JUD operates quite visibly in parts of Pakistan, with its own website and a twitter page.

I can almost hear the thoughts of the boys from here. ‘Gee, thanks Dad.’
Clown!

As a golf nut, I would feel a whole lot better if the PGA Tour stopped blessing tournaments in muslim dominated areas.

Write comments. Embarrass him and his taqiyya express.

There is the admission: “Jihad is never waged against Muslims. It is against infidels.” Of course it is.
Islamic source texts, orthodox commentaries and Sharia law all agree with Saeed.
And yes, Pakistan is being paid by the U.S. to fund jihad by people like Saeed against the U.S. Counterproductive and foolish. Aid must be linked to human rights and fighting terrorists.
Pakistan protected Bin Laden. Now they are protecting Saeed.

What if it turns out that the boys prefer life over death, preservation over killing?
This is what I pray for.
The Lord acts. His just will not stand still.

“What if it turns out that the boys prefer life over death, preservation over killing?”
In this this case that’s what they’ll be doing, day in day out: tearing the Qur’an, burning it and urinating on it!

A wishful thinking, I would say.
But there’s more chances of winning a multi million ‘Lotto Max’ lottery thrice in a row than a muhammedan radicalized from childhood and doctrine to violence & killing of infidels turning around & denouncing islam.

…………………………………..
If any of these boys prove unwilling or unable to wage Jihad, most likely they will be violently abused. And there are no child welfare agencies in Pakistan to rescue them.
The child will eventually either be forced to commit a suicide bombing, or will just be murdered to provide an example for the other children.
Short of a miracle, these children are lost—the only question is how many other victims they will take with them.
God, I hate Islam.

Probably need another drone and a violation of territorial integrity to get this guy. Pakistan would never sever ties with groups fighting against India.

So when are you (American Citizens) going to wake up and hold your governments accountable and stop donating your hard earned taxes to the very people who kill your soldiers and civilians?

A story from 2008, also from Pakistan.

“Journalist Sean Langan tells of life in terror camp, escape from Taliban,” by James Gordon Meek for the New York Daily News, December 6 2008
“For a harrowing three months as a Taliban prisoner in a Pakistani terror [sic: Muslim jihad – dda] camp, journalist Sean Langan lived face to face with sociopaths threatening to behead him as they plotted against the West….
“What shocked him, however, was the total indifference to human life shown by his captors. Their own children were as expendable as bullets in an AK-47…
“During interrogation, they demanded he identify his young sons – an infuriating attempt “to bring innocence and light into a dark, corrupted world,” he said.
‘Fearing a beheading, he revealed one son’s name is Gabriel, as in the archangel, and one of the holiest names in Islam.
‘The Taliban wept – and Haqqani sent a letter of apology.
‘A teary-eyed interrogator threw his arm around Langan and showed him a young boy’s photo on his cell phone.
‘A father-to-father moment?
‘Hardly.
‘**The next photo showed the bomb-strapped kid blowing up a U.S. Humvee.** {my emphasis – dda}.
”I’m looking at him like, you’re a sociopath,” Langan said…”.
The thing is: if a mohammedan mobster dies like that – slaying and being slain in the way of ‘allah’, offing himself in the act of offing a lot of hated Infidels – he dies as a shaheed and…he gets to intercede for a whole bunch of his relations, so that they, too, will evade the dreaded Torments of the Grave and get a fast track to allah’s heavenly brothel.
That Taliban dad was pleased that his kid was dead because not only was his kid assured of ‘paradise’ but *he* was, too..even if he should die in bed of old age.
Basically, mohammedans send their kids off to kill and be killed; in effect, using them as human sacrifices, with the extra twist that to be the sacrifice the kid has to get killed *while killing other people* (who are also, basically, human sacrifices).
