Coming from a bin Laden ally and terrorist this is rich! Bruce West must stop equating Jihad with terrorism: Fazl Wednesday December 29, 2004 (1414 PST) ISLAMABAD, December 30 (Online): Maulana Fazlur Rehman, opposition leader in the Lower House on Wednesday called upon Western world to stop equating 'Jihad' with terrorism. Talking to Mayor of Italy Mr Lostanio at his (Fazl) residence here he said that religious parties of Pakistan are trying to play their role in settling the difference between Islam and West through negotiations. They discussed hosts of issues including role of international community in war against terrorism and bilateral relations between Pakistan and Italy. "International community must address the real causes behind terrorism," he noted. Maulana Fazl said that terming Jehad a form of terrorism is wrong interpretation of Holy War and people fighting in Palestine and Kashmir are freedom fighters, they are not terrorists. Pakistan is providing political diplomatic and moral support to people of these areas, he held and added if international community will not do its duty in resolving these issue then people of these nations have no other choice left but to continue their struggle for freedom by waging wars against oppressors. He said religious parties favour peaceful political atmosphere in the country and are against any kind of repression. "We want to settle all issues through negotiations," he maintained.

Outlining the objective of meeting he pointed out that OIC cultural conference was organised to highlight cultural of member countries of OIC. Pakistan also attended it.
