Well, it is refreshing to hear something honest and straightforward from a Muslim politician. I think his call for jihad is simple and sincere. Secretary Syed Tanveer is a good Muslim politician. And remember: Pakistan is fairly close to collapsing and it is almost definite that the next government there would be very Islamic in its tone and approach to governance, which means that another Pakistani-Indian war in the coming years is completely possible.
And did I mention both countries have nuclear weapons?
From Here:
ISLAMABAD: Ruling coalition legislator and parliamentary Secretary for Defence Major (retd) Syed Tanveer Hussain has advised the Pakistan government to recognise the Taliban and open all corridors for militants to wage jihad for the "liberation" of Kashmir.
"India will not give freedom to the Kashmiris through dialogue so we have to wage a jihad and our mujahideen will secure the freedom of Kashmir within six months," he said, while speaking in the National Assembly during a debate on Pakistan’s foreign policy, local media reported with shock yesterday.
The stunning speech of the parliamentary secretary got a positive response from the Islamist alliance Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, particularly when he praised the Taliban and asked the government to give a shut-up call to the US over its threats to Pakistan. He also asked the government to counter the recent US ‘Pressler-type bill’ by allowing Jihad.
"The aid that forces us to mistreat our own people should be spewed out," he added.
