Millions March in Lahore: Packed Streets for 10

Unprecedented Mass March Condemns

March 23. The blessed city of Lahore, the
city of Allama Iqbal and
Maulana Maudoodi, who gave Pakistan its
progressive Islamic ideological base,
witnessed an unprecedented mass march to condemn
the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
Nothing like it has been seen in Lahore's history
although it has seen
numerous historic and huge marches and rallies.
Lahore is the Islamic heart
of a land meant to be a model of
Qur'an
and
Sunnah in action. Pakistan's
history is an ugly one as the people's
aspirations were betrayed by secular
elites linked to the West, the generals,
bureaucrats, big landowners.
The streets were packed with men, women,
children carrying placards
against
Bush,
Blair and Israel, all the way from
Nasir Bagh to the Assembly
Hall square, a distance of about 10 kilometers.
TENS OF THOUSANDS HELD PICTURES OF OSAMA,
hearthrob of the Muslim
Ummah, and SADDAM, increasingly seen as the hero
of armed resistance to
aggression.
The main speakers' line-up showed that the
MMA's Islamic Coalition is
holding in strong unity, bringing Muslims of all
schools of thought together.
Maulana Noorani of JUP, Qazi Hussain Ahmad of
Jamaate Islami, Maulana Fazlur
Rahman of JUI, Maulana Samiul Haq of an openly
pro-Taliban Ulama group, Prof.
Sajid Meer of Jamiat Ahl-e-Hadith were among the
main speakers.
Non-Sectarian Shias and groups of
secularists who are moving towards a
full affirmation of Islam were there. Lahore is a
stronghold of support for
Muslim League led by Nawaz Sharif (an elected
Prime Minister removed by
CIA
agent General Musharraf). These Muslim Leaguers
came out in big numbers and
their temporary leader Javed Hashmi spoke well.
----------------------------------
At a number of places in the path of the
march, PAKISTANI CHRISTIANS had
set up booths saying NO TO WAR and NO TO BUSH.
[Musharraf's agents have tried
to create conflict between Christians and Islamic
people in the style of
Egyptian
dictator
Mubarak
who played dirty tricks
on the Copts and blamed the
Muslims.]
------------------------------------------------------------
An unusual aspect of the mammoth Lahore march
was the huge presence of
the
JIHAD MOVEMENT,
known as Jamaat ad-da'wa
(which is called in Kashmir
Lashkare Taiba) led by Hafiz Saeed. They are
young and are easily
recognizable by their beards and neat, though
sparse, shalwar, kameez, with
shalwars ending just above the ankles. This
movement has the honor of helping
the Kashmiri people in the Jihad against
India's
army which has committed
torture, rape and murder against the Kashmiri
people. HAFIZ SAEED MADE A
STIRRING CALL TO THE NATION TO PREPARE FOR JIHAD.
The enemies of Islam have
exceeded the bounds of humanity, he said. Muslims
should start fighting back
and JIHAD IS THE ANSWER, he said.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
CIA AGENT MUSHARRAF HAS DISGRACED and HUMILIATED
PAKISTAN
Just about all the speakers at the historic
Lahore rally condemned the
collusion of General Musharraf with Bush and
Blair. They agreed that
MUSHARRAF HAS BETRAYED PAKISTAN and that he is a
servant of Bush. Speaker
after speaker urged Musharraf to leave peacefully
otherwise the peaceful mass
movement would enter his office and carry him
out.
----------------------------------------------
Syed Munawar Hasan, Secretary General of
Jamaate Islami, a key organizer
of the mass marches, [whose wife leads a large
number of women in the
movement] told New Trend after the march in
Lahore that new mass marches,
aiming at peaceful mobilization of Pakistan, are
planned for Peshawar and
Quetta in the coming weeks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S.
Zionist
media
claimed that only 70,000
people took part in the Lahore
rally!
