A clever move by sipah e sahaba by naming there organisation ahle sunnah wal jamaat, as if to say they represent people of that denomination. We all know what they really are TROUBLE... A majority of ahle sunnah do not support them and insallah never will.
@Naeem Siddiqui: Veru true!!!
Terrorist is a terrorist - no matter what name or shape he adopts.
These nasty people are a blight on the religion. They are also suffering from an intelligence deficit as they lack any of the spirit of the early Muslims. They have no clue what made the religion grow. Hint:It was not being as closed mindedness as they are. Muslims of Spain were key to the European Renaissance, something thee people would be totally incapable of.
ASWJ is not Spahi shaba this is the name of Majority Muslim in pakistan may be this gang will not represent them but the majority of Pakistan and as per 1973 the official sec is ASWJ and all Gov department following this path only.
@us_roamer, what about terrorists endorsing drone strikes killing innocent civilians ?
We need a medium to long term de-radicalization programme funded by own resources rather than USAID or King Abdullah.
I m sure the only menifesto requirement for presidentship candidate is willingness / potential of how much more harm you can make to other sects in the name of religon and elections must hav been observed closely by Saudis
Opportunity missed !!! where did this meeting take place. All terrorists gathered under one roof. If I would have known should have sent a Drone their.
if you see the picture...we see the microphones from almost every news channel; and a question comes to my mind that if we know that if it is a banned outfit....and they are functional by just changing their name then why we are giving them that much importance that our pathetic media is covering them....and sorry for this newspaper as well...you people are also the a sheep in the herd.....
its just a thought that what if there was not a single microphone of any news channel....THINK ABOUT IT
I wish people start following reall islam, not mullahs. Look at these banned militants who openly electing and selecting their warlords.
May Allah help him continue the great mission by Allah's grace

Head of Killers...must be put to gallows..pity on poor people of Pakistan
A gang of secterian terrorists 'elected/selected' the terrorist in cheif. This is pathetic how terrorist gangs change their name after being ban and keep functioning.
