US terror-watch-list suspect to endorse PTI in elections

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

A religious leader based in Islamabad, who is placed by the United States on a terror watch list, on Tuesday announced to support the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in the upcoming general elections scheduled for July 25.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman Khalil was placed by the US government on Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGT) list on September 30, 2014, for his alleged role in Harkatul Mujahideen (HuM) militant organisation, which he reportedly founded in the past.

He later founded and is still heading Ansarul Ummah, which he says is a political party. Both HuM and Ansarul Ummah (AuU) are on the SDGT list.

Khalil’s AuU also took part in the last local government elections.

PTI leader Asad Umar took to social media to announce that Khalil along with hundreds of other Ulemas (clerics) had joined the PTI and announced to support him in the upcoming elections.


“Maulana Fazlur Rehman Kahlil has joined the PTI along with hundreds of his followers and Ulema,” Umar wrote in a Facebook post with an album showing Umar being welcomed by Khalil and others and the two addressing the ceremony.

A nation that supports terrorists in Syria is making a terror list.

So? Why is that a problem? All the militants we've supported have been very helpful for us. The only thing we did wrong was not tightly control who could become a militant in our country. This led to the system being exploited and we burned because of it.

If your house burns down due to an electrical fire you don't stop using electricity - you make sure your wiring is well maintained next time.

And do you think we have learned a lesson? Nopes. We never learn any lesson. Thanks to religion card being used everywhere our society has turned into zealous bigots with no tolerance for anybody. This atmosphere can only produce militants not Einsteins.

The Head of this so called terrorist group is fighting election against PTI and PML-N has no candidate standing there.

You and your American buddy have lost. Just give up. Your sobbing and crying won't change anything anymore.

Don't lecture us on religion and tolerance when the biggest zealot is leading the USA. LOL at Donald J Trump. What a great example for tolerance.
