Apparently taking advantage of the political crisis from Pakistan President Musharraf’s suspension of the constitution, several Islamist parties have decided to use the occasion to attack Christians. According to one report, in the village of Govind mosque loudspeakers are being used to instruct the mobs: “A religious war has been started against the kaffirs [infidels] so all the Muslims come out of their houses”. One villager said: “Muslims threatened us that when they will [be] released from the jail, they will annihilate all of our houses and kill us. They are very powerful people.”

While Christian schools train up children to be productive in society, an Islamic madrassa in Pakistan teaches them that it is desirable to destroy it. The Washington Times reports:

Muhammad is a star student at the Arabia Taeem-ul-Quran madrassa in Lahore because in three years, he managed to memorize the entire Koran, hundreds of pages in an ancient language that is rarely spoken and that neither he nor nearly 100 fellow students can understand. Asked whether he could imagine himself attending a jihadist training camp one day, he replied: “It is my wish to do that, to defend Islam by the grace of God.”

As Steven Emerson revealed in his book American Jihad, certain mosques and Islamist meetings in the U.S. openly teach jihad. Thorny question: Should that be illegal?
