Re: Foreign students ordered out of Pakistan madrassas

PP1,

Keep living in your delusional land miyan. Indians may face racial attacks, nothing new there. But your brethren, thanks to the lunatic policyies you support, are not getting visas from many countries. This is not the case for Indians. Just look at the statistics for US and European nations’ visas. If you think any other nation has been profiled more than Pakistan, you need to get off the strong stuff..

We have no real problems with your jihadis since we have been taking them on for 15 years and have only grown powerful since then. I remember the days when many in the US and UK would believe that Pakistan had a valid claim on Kashmir. Today, eveyone says that Kashmir jihad and Al Qaeda are our “common enemies.” Another 15 years of the same will be more destructive for Pakistan and mere pinpricks for us. If a big attack occurs, not a single nation will be on Pakistan’s side for your denials on jihadi camps will not work anymore.

At your home front - Without free travel, your Businessmen will lose their marketshare to other nations. I was at the World Economic Forum in Davos last year and the only Pakistani business that attracted attention was security guard agencies. The Gun/Grenade/jihad culture is hurting you more than you’d like to believe. Whatever you call us, the fact remains that 58 years of flailing about has only lost you land and moved you farther and farther from the dream.

Anyway, here is another one for you. Even Muslim African nations are running scared of your brethren now.

**Mali bans preaching by Pak clerics **

BAMAKO (AFP) - The governor of Mali’s northern Gao province on Sunday announced an immediate ban on the activities of a group of Pakistani Islamists living in the zone along the border with Algeria.

Hundreds of Pakistanis have arrived in Mali as part of a humanitarian aid and education effort, though once on the ground they turn their focus to preaching hardline positions that are not in line with the Muslim practice in the region, Colonel Amadou said.

“We cannot accept that just anyone can come here and preach however they see fit,” he told AFP by telephone from the remote northern outpost in the Sahara desert. “They must comply with the rules, fall in to line and seek all of the necessary authorisations” to expand their role in the region to include religious instruction.

Though the group has not been formally identified as belonging to any particular sect, they preach an Islam that is “pure and hard,” according to a municipal official, and are indoctrinating their disciples into an Islam that does not oppose violence.

Police have opened an investigation into their activities and have seized propaganda-filled tapes that call for violence in the name of Islam, a security source told AFP on condition of anonymity.

They have already had to intervene on behalf of one family, whose son disappeared into their care for a week and had to be forcibly removed from their center.
