Father of Taliban denied British Visa

Jesus. I should hope so.


The British High Commission in Islamabad has denied visa to the hardline Muslim senator and chief of the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam, Maulana Samiul-Haq.

Dubbed "the father of the Taliban" because many Taliban, including Mullah Omar, were schooled in a madrassa he ran, Haq had applied for the visa to attend the multi-party conference scheduled to be held in London this month. A press release issued in Peshawar on Sunday said the High Commission had given Maulana Haq a charge sheet and even barred him from filing an appeal against the decision. The party has requisitioned a meeting of the Standing Committee of the house to discuss the issue.

(So pretty, isn't he? He also advocates the killing of Salman Rushdie and is one of the dirty nutbags calling for the knighting of OBL.)
