Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf has called for an end to outside interference in Iraq and proposed a Muslim peacekeeping force to help stabilize the country.
Speaking at an Islamic conference in Islamabad Tuesday, General Musharraf said a United Nations-backed Muslim force could be looked at if all warring factions in Iraq accept the idea. He also said a political solution is badly needed and that an end to outside interference would help restore stability.
President Musharraf did not identify any of the countries he said were meddling in Iraq.
General Musharraf also criticized Muslim extremists for portraying Islam as a violent religion. He said divisions within the Muslim community must be addressed.
The president's speech marked the opening of a three-day annual meeting of foreign ministers from the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the main grouping of Muslim states.
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry says fighting intolerance against Muslims and defamation of Islam is a major theme of the conference.
Delegates also are expected to discuss ways to promote discussion between Islamic and Western nations.
Other issues on the agenda are the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the disputed region of Kashmir.
“Muslim peacekeeping force”
There’s an oxymoron.
He’s doing such a good job of keeping Pakistan peaceful, let him take CAIR of Iraq. Good idea. What an A$$.
An oxymoron if there ever was one...
Right , Like Pakistan has thier S4!t together..
Who's he trying to kid? Islam IS a violent religion; or rather, a tyrannical political system masquerading as a religion.
“I propose a pack of dogs to guard these cats.”
Pakistan, as a single entity, if things go as they are, won't exist beyond five more decades.
Oh yeah’ Thats gonna work.
What sect does he think will do this? The Sunni, Shiite, Wahhabi, Kurds ? Palestinians?
We supply them with tanks and missiles to do it with Right.
Money?? Oh yeah someone will have to pay them.
Training? Well they have plenty of that I suppose.
Leadership? The UN couldnt lead a horse to water.
Another sign the surge is working!
Actually not a terrible idea under certain situations & requirements - Along with the Iraqi Gov’t being for such....
You got that right!
ROFL!
Is this a spoof?
Pakistani “peacekeepers” did such a bang-up job in Mogadishu, why not try it again?
The U.N. pays $1,100 USD per month per “peacekeeper”, and that goes to the Army, not to the Pakistani general fund. Pakistani soldiers are paid less than $400 per month.
Invitation for corruption?
LOL....thud
Well when the words of violence came straight from muuuhHamheads a....mouth, whaddya expect?
Jesus is the Prince of Peace.
muuuhhHamehead was just a lousy illiterate murdering lying stealing pedophile.
