Pakistan: Red Mosque de-recognized by clerical board

According to Qari Mohammed Hanif Jalandhry, a member of the central council of Ittehad Tanzeemat Madaris Deenia and a group of Muslim clerics has travelled to Washington DC this week to brief US lawmakers, officials, academics and other members of the American society on the state of religious schools in Pakistan.

The Red Mosque has evidently been a hot topic - although I've yet to find anything in the US press about the delegation or the individuals they have been "briefing." Why am I thinking of the Muslim delegation that went round the world inciting the Mo-toon riots when I read about this delegation???

I say BFD. Especially when they are peddling this kind of malarkey:

"While we sympathise with several of their demands, we strongly disagree with their method of achieving those objectives. Islam does not condone coercive measures..."

"Other issues that US lawmakers showed keen interest in included the concept of jihad in Islam, particularly the difference between jihad and terrorism, suicide attacks, and the Taliban movement in Afghanistan." (editor's note: they don't freaking know this already????)
“It is wrong to blame a nation or a religion for the crimes committed by a few individuals,”

It isn't wrong to blame or nation or a religion for the crimes committed by a few individuals if their nation or religion does nothing to STOP IT!!!!
