Commandoes reach room of mosque militant leader (Extra)

Jul 10, 2007, 2:15 GMT

Islamabad - The leader of militants holed up in a Pakistani mosque may have been killed or apprehended as security forces stormed his compound early Tuesday.

Hard-line cleric Abdul Rashid Ghazi was speaking to a local news channel when forces apparently arrived at his location in the Red Mosque compound in central Islamabad.

'Commandos are at the door of my room,' he told Aaj news channel, before the connection was lost. It was not clear whether he was arrested or killed.

A military spokesman said 10 militants had been killed in the assault on the mosque. At least two soldiers have also died as forces stormed the compound following failed overnight negotiations to resolve the week-long standoff.

First, there is no single way of spelling the 'Messenger of God''s name in English. Variants you will see include Muhammad, Mohmad, Mohmed, Mehmed, Mohamet, etc... Peb's spelling gets it into the ballpark.
As for those who took umbrage with Peb for his rejoicing at the death of a murderous religious thug, much better his crude joy than your sanctimonious thug deferring twaddle.
Finally, note that Pakistanis are not 'Arabs'. Pakistani is, almost without exception, an Islamic nation. Islam is a religion, an ideology if you will. It is absolutely not an ethnic marker, and is no more intrinsically 'Arab' than is Christianity or Judaism [or Zorastrianism, for that matter]
Cheers

What strikes me is that most posters are infected with the same kind of virus as their fundamentalist islamic counterparts in Pakistan .INcapable of differentiating anything and only capable of hatred they would invariably be indoctrinated as extremist jihadists,providing they had been born in Pakistan and not in the west .No doubt about that .Just as some fundamentalist muslims they are utterly incapable of any distinction .It is exactly the most important characteristic of some extremist fundamentalists .Similare minframe east and west .It is fortunate the majority of the world is not influenced by these twins .If so the world would be a much more dangerous place.Imagine the BNP leading Brittain,the KKK leading the USA and on the other side of the world some jihadists in power .What a fine recipe for the end of civilization that would be .

ahh yes tonny from belgium we here in the west woke up one morning, spun a wheel with all the names of all religeon and it came up Islam so thats why we all hate Islam...

it couldnt possibly have anything to do with all the violence and killing from the so called religeon of peices opps i mean peace.

it also couldnt possibly have anything to do with the fact that they screw their own countries up then goto western countries and try screwing them up too.

id love to see the look on the Euros faces when they become the newest member of the islamic superstate :D

JT another person incapable of making out the difference between a minority of fundamentalists and mainstream religion .Thanks for proving my point,just too bad you don't understand any of it .Honestly ,what would you be if born, in Pakistan or sSaudi Arabia ?Would you be a person able to distinguish between propaganda and reality ?My guess is that with your mindframe and cognitive deficienties you would make a perfect fundamentalist .

well tony had i been born in either of those countries i would probably be dead as would you :)

see from our point of view we dont listen to politicians (we dont trust em) we dont listen to the media (we dont trust them either) what we do listen to is what Muslims say and what they dont say and its from that that we came to the conclusion that Islam is incompatible with life. PERIOD !

this isnt 2nd hand info this is from my own PERSONAL (1st hand) experiences, Muslims will lie to your face because in their minds they are allowed to lie/decieve anyone not muslim (this was told to me by an imam). they say one thing and do another or when they think no one is listening then you will find out their true feelings and that is they want their OWN ISLAMIC state in Australia (This i have been told by Muslims)

so tony what colour burqa would you like me to post you for you wife/gf/fiance/mother/sister?
