Pakistan angrily denies charge that its spy service aided jihad attack
There is nothing unreasonable about this charge. There is abundant evidence, as we have seen here over the years, that high-level figures in the Pakistani government have favored the jihad. What would stop them from doing so? They go through the Pakistani schools about which we have heard so much: the “factories of jihad.” “Pakistan […]
Pakistan forewarning al-Qaeda before American strikes, US asserts
Such otherwise traitorous behavior is in complete keeping with several Koranic injunctions which have led to the doctrine of Loyalty (to Muslims) and Enmity (for infidels), such as the following, which both insists Muslims are to have no loyalty to infidels, and also to deceive the latter when necessary: “Allah most high said: ‘Let believers […]

After satirical cartoon, Taliban tells editor of Pakistan’s Daily Times to repent; “otherwise you would meet the fate of other nonbelievers”
“Other clerics of the Red Mosque argued that since Ms Hassan was teaching the Koran to her students in the mosque, any attempt to belittle her was blasphemous.” That’s quite a stretch.

“Lions of Islam” joining jihad in Afghanistan from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Chechnya and Turkey
