Pakistani minister sues the neo-Taliban
Gutsy. And dangerous:
ISLAMABAD, June 20: Former tourism minister Senator Nilofar Bakhtiar has served a legal notice on the head of the ‘Sharia court’ established by Lala Masjid administration, seeking an apology from him for damaging her reputation and political career by issuing a fatwa against her.It's the law: hug a Frenchman after paragliding, get a fatwa.In the notice served on Mufti Mohammad Yunus through Advocates Dr M. Aslam Khaki and Syed Liaquat Banori she said she would initiate civil as well as criminal proceedings against him and ‘the culprits behind him’, if an apology was not tendered within one week.
The ‘court’ established in the mosque had issued its first decree against Ms Bakhtiar for hugging a Frenchman after paragliding in Paris, saying that Islam did not allow such actions.
C'mon, guys. It's so simple, maybe you need a refresher course!
The Lal Masjid goons made an appearance on JYB back here, with their ongoing attempt to take over Islamabad, and their magical divinely-stocked pantry.
