Cleric’s chilling warning to UK

A FANATICAL Pakistani cleric told The Sun yesterday of his chilling
dream to turn the world Muslim -- by force if necessary.

Qari Hifzur Rehamn, 60, spoke openly of imposing Islamic law’s stoning
and beheading on Britain -- as Pakistan was rocked by unrest over the
assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

He warned: "We want Islamic law for all Pakistan and then the world.

"We would like to do this by preaching. But if not then we would use
force."

Rehamn, 60, spoke in the Pakistani town of Kahuta as the call to prayer
echoed over the dusty streets.

He is Imam of the town’s fundamentalist religious school or madrassa,
where classes for kids as young as nine include Jihad or Holy War and
barbaric punishments.

His teachings are frightening enough. But his mosque lies in the shadow
of the secret bunker where Pakistan produces nuclear weapons.

And when asked if it would be right to nuke British infidels, he laughed
and answered: "Probably."

Army

Rehamn, in a flowing grey beard and turban, explained Islamic, or Sharia
Law as we sat surrounded by some of his 250 students.

He said: "Adulterers who are married should be buried in earth to the
waist and stoned to death.

"Homosexuals must be killed -- it’s the only way to stop them spreading.
It should be by beheading or stoning, which the general public can do.

"Thieves should have their hands cut off. Women should remain indoors
and films and pop music should be banned."

So what does he think of Britain? The dad insisted: "The nonbelievers
must be converted to Islam. Morals in your society, with women wearing
revealing clothes, have gone wrong."

The spot where enriched uranium is produced for Pakistan’s 80 to 120
nuclear warheads is behind razor wire less than five miles from where we
spoke.

A dummy missile even sits in a children’s playground in Kahuta.

Only this month, doomed opposition leader Benazir Bhutto raised the
spectre of al-Qaeda-linked Islamic militants seizing control of
Pakistan’s nuclear warheads -- and activity by radicals near Kahuta.

Despite the efforts of politicians such as her to champion democracy,
the country has long been a hotbed of Islamic extremism and there is no
shortage of potential martyrs.

At the Red Mosque in the heart of the capital Islamabad, Maulana Mohavya
Irshad, 24, stared coldly at me. He said: "I’m ready to become a suicide
bomber and lay down my life for Islam. Democracy is wrong. Earth belongs
to God and God’s law must be implemented.

"I hope Britain and the rest of the world will have Sharia Law this
century. We will continue to sacrifice our lives to achieve this."

Meanwhile, the al-Qaeda warlord accused of masterminding the death of Ms
Bhutto, 54, has warned his 13,000-strong private army will fight to the
death against any troops sent to seize him.

Long-bearded Baitullah Mehsud, holed up in the bandit country of South
Waziristan on the Afghan border, denied being behind Bhutto’s murder
last Thursday in a suicide bomb attack in Rawalpindi.

But his cousin Shehryar Mehsud, 34, told The Sun: "Baitullah and the
rest of us will fight to the last man.

Our army of thousands of Muslim brothers is ready for Jihad against the
infidels and against the infidel government in Pakistan.

"UK and America are the enemy number one of Islam. We have joined the
Taliban troops fighting in Afghanistan and will continue Jihad until we
liberate the country."

The Pakistani government claims a phone-tap caught Mehsud, 34, and a
cleric gloating over Bhutto’s death, calling it "spectacular".

His cousin insisted: "Baitullah Mehsud is not involved in the killing of
Western ally Benazir Bhutto.

Fight

"We did not kill her but she was against Islam and Islamic teachings."

Another of his clan, Mohamad Ali Mehsud, 26, bragged to The Sun about
Mehsud striking from his lair in Pakistan against British and US forces
in Afghanistan.

Mohamad said: "Baitullah is cunning. He moves positions all the time and
uses disguises. Many times he has survived by a whisker.

"His men cross into Afghanistan, fight infidel soldiers and steal
laptops, mobile phones and money. They bribe the soldiers guarding the
border to get back into Pakistan."

But did Mehsud kill Bhutto? Mohamad said: "Baitullah didn’t like
Bhutto’s lipstick and Western ways. But he didn’t kill her. He only
kills men."

Pakistan is considered our friend? Who here doesn't think this hating nutjob would apply this same logic to the USA?

He warned: "We want Islamic law for all Pakistan and then the world.

Just try replacing my cowboy hat with one of those turbans and see what happens to ya!

I am as sick of hearing from these goffy clerics as I am our own goffy government

The thing is these "goofy clerics" aren't goofy they're *dead* serious.

In a way this all reminds me of Nazi Germany, no one ever believed Hitler was actually serious until it was too late. I hope no one is stupid enough to believe this pakistani islamic cleric is NOT kidding around. After all, how many islamic comedians have you met lately?

"We would like to do this by preaching.

Oh right...they preach and the message is death.

These demons should be forced to leave. They must be exorcised.
