Such a rally for such a reason can only be organized by Altaf Hussain...A ploy to garner popular sentiments from people such as you...LOL!

Re: April 15th rally in Karachi against religious fanatics
To be honest, if Altaf Hussein wasn't the goon behind these - I would consider joining in the protest.
That's if I was stupid enough to live in the hell hole! MUAAAAAAAHAHAAAAAA!
Re: April 15th rally in Karachi against religious fanatics

Re: April 15th rally in Karachi against religious fanatics
Yeah, if it wasn't being organized by MQM, I would support it. Pakistan needs a whole bunch of these rallies. Why is it that the only people ever protesting on the streets of Pakistan are maulvis?
Re: April 15th rally in Karachi against religious fanatics
MQM unncessarily pulling itself into this affair! It should leave goverment to deal with it!
This may create unnecessary rift and resentment in Karachi as we have large number pushtoon supporters of religious parties in Karachi and God forbids may lead to ethinc distrubance again in Karachi.
MQM continues with its foolish and dirty policies.

Re: April 15th rally in Karachi against religious fanatics

Karachi mass rally opposes “religious terrorists”
By Faisal Aziz Sun Apr 15, 12:11 PM ET
KARACHI (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of people rallied in Pakistan’s biggest city, Karachi, on Sunday to show their opposition to a radical religious school which has begun a Taliban-style anti-vice campaign in the capital, Islamabad.
ADVERTISEMENT
“The people of Islamabad are insecure and under threat due to the activities of these religious terrorists,” said Altaf Hussain, head of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, addressing the rally by telephone from London.
Hussain, who lives in self-exile in Britain although his party is part of the ruling coalition, said the religious radicals in Islamabad’s Lal Masjid, or Red Mosque, and adjoining Jamia Hafsa madrasa were hurting the image of Islam.
“Islam is a religion of peace and it does not need Kalashnikovs and sticks,” he told the rally, while a helicopter whirled overhead to provide aerial surveillance and hundreds of police surrounded the venue – the city’s main commercial area.
Moderate Muslims in Pakistan were shocked earlier this month when a cleric announced a religious shariat court had been set up at Lal Masjid to enforce a strict Islamic code of justice, and threatened to retaliate with suicide bombers if the government tried forcibly to suppress the movement.
Lal Masjid’s compound has taken on the appearance of a rebel camp in recent weeks, with young men armed with sticks guarding the entrances.
Women, also carrying staves, roam the school’s grounds, and two or three men have been seen with guns which the clerics say are properly licensed.
Moderates and liberals, fearful that the ways of the Taliban are creeping into Pakistan’s cities, have criticized President Pervez Musharraf for not taking a harder line.
But he appears wary of handing any issue to Islamists in an election year, and the government is trying to negotiate a peaceful settlement with the hardliners in Lal Masjid.
The stand-off began in January, after girls from the Jamia Hafsa madrasa occupied a nearby public library to protest against the demolition of mosques built illegally on city land.
The row escalated last month when, in behavior reminiscent of
Afghanistan under the Taliban, burqa-clad women students from the madrasa raided a house they said was a brothel.
The students have also pressured owners of music and video shops to close down their businesses.

hmm, so many people...if taliban are so bad, maybe all these wussies should go and defend afghanistan...certainly are alot of people in this rally. Bolna, chalna, jhandey uthaana to sab ko aata hai, in logon mein himmat to hai nahi ke jaaker muselmaano ki madad kerein.
the muslim world is being bombed, women raped, children slaughtered, and these losers are trying to stop the only people defending them. How shameful.
Re: April 15th rally in Karachi against religious fanatics
WOW this was a big huge rally. Massive by any standards! a hundred thosuand peopl! amazing. Finally, its refreshing to see that someone has the capacity to organize something against savage and illterate mullahs.

Mostly by its own people. More muslim mosques are suicide bombed in iraq by muslims then all the western forces combined.

And that's what makes us different than you. We follow Islam and you do not. Jihad can only be declared by the state. We march peacefully against the violent antics of mullahs who are going around killing, beheading, intimidating people from Iraq to Afghanistan.

90% of bombings and murdering of Muslims today is being done by Taliban, Al Qaeda and other jihadis, that's the really sad part in all of this.

U're kidding me right?
Just because western media says something, doesn't make it right. As a world citizen, you have to open your eyes, remove the curtains and actually seek the truth urself.

If you believe that americans suicide bomb muslim mosques and market places, then we must say to you if your'e kidding us! Do you believe that extremists muslims who regularly call shias, sufis and ahmedis kaafir are nice people and that they don't take part in any violence? What about the entire ethnic minority of Hazaras in Afghanistan, that was persecuted by the pashtun taliban?! I fail to see logic in your words man. Mind boggling to say the least.
