Re: How do we stop suicide bombers? Your thoughts…
I have never heard of any muslim scholars in Pakistan condemning suicide terrorism. In fact, they always find the way to justify it.

Wafaq-ul-Madaris demands Musharraf’s resignation
ISLAMABAD: The joint convention of Ulema of Wafaq-ul-Madaris and the MMA leadership have called for action against all the Army men involved in the Lal Masjid-Jamia Hafsa operation.
They held President Musharraf solely responsible for the killing of innocent students of Jamia Hafsa, demanding his immediate resignation and the restoration of Jamia Hafsa and Jamia Faridia.
The also demanded the immediate release of Maulana Abdul Aziz and his family members as well as detained students of Jamia Hafsa, otherwise a nationwide agitation against the government would be launched, besides the filing of a case against the government with the Supreme Court.
President Wafaq-ul-Madaris Maulana Salim Ullah Khan said Wafaq-ul-Madaris intends to hold nationwide conventions to highlight and plan the protection of seminaries from any possible onslaught by the government.
MNA Maulana Abdul Malik said all the matters between the government and the Lal Masjid elements had been resolved amicably, but still the assault on Jamia Hafsa was carried out at the behest of the US.
He described eight days of siege of hapless elements of Lal Masjid without any water and food as quite an agonising one, while Maulana Ata-ur-Rehman stressed on forging unity to combat the evil elements.
The convention was also addressed by NWFP Chief Minister Akram Durrani, who lamented the recent Army operation in NWFP without his approval, demanding re-opening of Lal Masjid for prayers and restoration of Jamia Hafsa and Jamia Faridia.
Supreme head of Wafaq-ul-Madaris Al Arabia Maulana Zahoor Ahmad Alvi said the army for which 80 per cent of budget was allocated was involved in genocide of its own people instead of fighting for the cause of Kashmir and Afghanistan.
Prominent among those who addressed the convention, include Maulana Hamid-ul-Haq Haqqani, Mufti Abdul Hamid of Karachi, Maulana Dr Adil Khan, Maulana Abdul Ghaffar Tauheedi, Maulana Anwar-ul-Haq and Maulana Abdul Haleem Qasmi.
