There is no place for any kind of extremism in society.

This would normally not be a very noteworthy quotation as it is typical of political party declarations in democracies throughout the world. What makes this, the exception is that this credo was for a Pakistani political party, where no other political party and very few individuals would dare make such a statement. Altaf Hussain was not only attacked and luckily survived an assassination attempt, but the Pakistani Government called this statement and many others treason against the state where equal rights for non Muslims is prohibited by their interpretation of the Koran. The government policy has even been to support terrorist organizations as a potential force against India and parts of India which Pakistan covets and justifies because the area as a majority of Muslims. But India has about the same number of Muslims as does Pakistan so there are hundreds of such areas. Hussain has been indicted over 100 times and runs the party from exile in London where he has been granted political asylum. What he and his party supports has been completely contrary to the policies of the government of Pakistan and its leaders of all the other political persuasions. Pakistan has been since its inception a perpetrator of religious intolerance, fanaticism, violence and one of the worst violators of human rights in the word.
Many critics of the King observed that Saudi Arabia is one of the most intolerant nations in the world where it is a crime for a woman to drive or to import a Christian or Jewish Bible. The country has produced a much higher percentage of fanatical terrorists than its population in the Arab World. Osama bin Laden grew up as a citizen of Saudi Arabia. Saudi money supports Wahabbi—one of the most intolerant wings of Islam—by which Saudi Arabian trained and funded clerics preach extremism and hatred the world over. For example, see {620142} for an example of Saudi Arabian intolerance preached at one of Islam’s most important mosques just weeks after the king is quoted talking about tolerance. It is not as if there is freedom of speech in Saudi Arabia and the king may not censor any intolerant speech. People are jailed and tortured for simply criticizing the government or royal family, executed for criticizing Islam.
