AQ is a carrier. We must immunize ourselves and stop the spread of ignorance. People like OBL and “mullah” Mohamed Omar are like gangrenous flesh – the result of the extended presence of the disease, and if they are not cut out, they will destroy the rest of the body.

What surprises me, however, is that none of the maulanas and muftis made an issue of the exact amount of money when so many avenues of argumentation were open to them. Was the amount extorted from the Sikhs right according to all the major schools of Islamic jurisprudence? Wasn’t it less? Wasn’t it more? Shouldn’t the amount be equivalent to the value of a certain weight in gold? And what about the requirement, according to many jurists, that the…
