Lahore: : Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Syed Munawar Hasan, has said that more than one a half billion Muslims all over the world were ready to lay down their lives for the sanctity of the Holy Prophet.

Addressing a huge public meeting at Buner district on Sunday, he stressed upon the rulers to review the country’s foreign policy, make it independent and pull out of the US so called war on terror.
The JI Ameer cautioned the Army Chief Gen. Kayani that military operations in different areas had already created a wedge between the people and the armed forces and if the military operation was started in North Waziristan under US pressure, the results would be disastrous.

Continuing, Syed Munawar Hasan said that freedom of expression did not mean mudslinging or hurling abuses on others, nor somebody could be allowed to hurt the sentiment of the Muslim Ummah.
