Pakistani Taliban confirm death of Qari Zafar

Dawn
Tuesday, March 2, 2010

Islam-Is-Bad - The Pakistani Taliban confirmed Tuesday that a senior
commander wanted in the deadly 2006 bombing of the US consulate in
Karachi was killed in a suspected American missile strike in
northwestern Pakistan.

Mohammed Qari Zafar's death, which was reported earlier by Pakistani
intelligence officials, marks the latest success from Washington's
covert CIA-run drone program in Pakistan. The unmanned aircraft have
carried out more than 100 missile strikes near the Afghan border
since 2004, killing several senior Taliban and al-Qaida leaders.

The Taliban described Zafar as a martyr in a statement faxed to local
journalists and pledged to avenge his death. It is uncommon for the
Taliban to confirm the death of one of its members in a missile
strike.

''The mujahideen will soon take revenge against the Pakistani
government for his killing anywhere in the country,'' said the
statement.

Pakistani officials routinely protest the drone strikes as violations
of the country's sovereignty. But US officials, who refuse to speak
publicly about the secret program, say privately that the Pakistani
government supports the effort.

Pakistani intelligence officials said last week that Zafar was killed
Wednesday along with 13 other insurgents when three missiles struck a
compound and a vehicle in the Dargah Mandi area of the North
Waziristan tribal region. They spoke on condition of anonymity
because they were not authorised to talk to the media.

Zafar, who was a senior member of the banned al-Qaida-linked militant
group Lashkar-i-Jhangvi, orchestrated the March 2006 suicide car
bombing of the US consulate in Karachi, killing US diplomat David Foy
and three Pakistanis. He was also believed to be behind the September
2008 truck bomb blast at the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad that killed
54 people. The US had posted a $5 million dollar reward for
information leading to his capture.

====================
Saudi Wahabiism on the way out?
Suicide bombing and terrorism denounced.
Fatwa refutes terrorism
====================

UK Muslim leader to put fatwa on Jihad

By JONNY PAUL,

Ruling is most comprehensive theological refutation of Islamist terrorism.

LONDON � A revered mainstream Muslim scholar is set to announce in London on
Tuesday a fatwa (Muslim ruling) against terrorism and suicide bombing in the
name of Islam.

Sheikh Dr. Tahir ul-Qadri, a widely recognized and respected authority on
Islamic jurisprudence, will issue a comprehensive fatwa prohibiting
terrorism and suicide bombing at a press conference in Westminster, central
London.

The Pakistani-born Dr. Qadri has authored an unprecedented, 600-page fatwa
on why suicide bombings and terrorism are un-Islamic and scripturally
forbidden. The ruling is the most comprehensive theological refutation of
Islamist terrorism to date.

The fatwa will also be posted on the Internet and in English, making it
readily accessible. It will also set an important precedent and allow other
scholars to similarly condemn the ideas behind terrorism.

Dr. Qadri has used texts in the Koran and other Islamic writings to argue
that suicide and other terrorist attacks are �absolutely against the
teachings of Islam� and that �Islam does not permit such acts on any excuse,
reason or pretext.�

The fatwa condemns suicide bombers as destined for hell, refuting the claim
used by Islamists that such terrorists will earn paradise after death.

�Today�s tragedy is that terrorists, murderers, mischief-mongers and rioters
try to prove their criminal, rebellious, tyrannous, brutal and blasphemous
activities as a right and a justified reaction to foreign aggression under
the garb of defense of Islam and national interests,� he says about suicide
bombing.

�It can in no way be permissible to keep foreign delegates under unlawful
custody and murder them and other peaceful non-Muslim citizens in
retaliation for interference, unjust activities and aggressive advances of
their countries,� Qadri said, asserting, �The one who does has no relation
to Islam.�

Dr. Qadri is the founder of the international Minhaj-ul-Quran movement.
Supporters say his fatwa is significant because he is issuing it himself and
his movement, a major grass-roots global organization, has hundreds of
thousands of followers in South Asia and the UK.

The move has been welcomed by the Quilliam Foundation, a London-based
anti-extremism think-tank led by former Islamists.

�This fatwa has the potential to be a highly significant step towards
eradicating Islamist terrorism,� a Quilliam spokesperson said. �Fatwas by
Wahhabi-influenced clerics and Islamist ideologues initiated modern
terrorism against civilians. Terrorist groups such as al-Qaida continue to
justify their mass killings with self-serving readings of religious
scripture.

�Fatwas that demolish and expose such theological innovations will consign
Islamist terrorism to the dustbin of history.�

London�s Centre for Social Cohesion think-tank has also welcomed the
initiative.

CSC director Douglas Murray believes that in recent years, and since the
July 2005 terrorist attack in London, Muslim leaders have failed to
unequivocally condemn violence committed in the name of Islam.

�A sentence that may to many people seem clear, such as �There can be no
justification for the killing of innocent people� is filled with caveats �
what is an �innocent� person? Who decides who is or is not �innocent�?

�Too many Muslim religious figures sound as if they are condemning violence
when in fact they are merely condemning violence in certain situations,
against certain people,� he said.

Murray said the fatwa takes away the caveats and will have far-reaching
consequences. However he said it won�t stop Islamic terrorism
instantaneously.

�Dr. ul-Qadri is respected for his ability to cross some of the notable
sectarian boundaries that abound in the Islamic faith as in all others. Even
Muslims who might dislike him will not be able to dismiss him out of hand.

�Yet even if the contents of this fatwa are what people have long hoped for,
it will not, of course, stop Islamic terrorism straight away. A single fatwa
will not change the level of denial and lack of self-criticism inherent in
so much of modern Islam. Nor will it stop every fevered young radical eager
to kill and maim. But the trickle-down effect is important. The most violent
interpretations of Islam have indeed trickled down to terrorists via learned
scholars,� he said.

I bet some radical Arselifter liquidates him.
