PESHAWAR, Oct 18: Pak-Afghan Defence Council Chairman Maulana Sameeul Haq has said that the United States has challenged the Muslim world on the pretext of Osama bin Laden and the Taliban.

The Muslims should wage a war against the United states, he said, speaking at the graduation ceremony at Jamia Darul Uloom Haqania, Akora Khattak, on Thursday. He urged the Muslims all over the world to unite and prepare themselves for coming challenges.

Only Madressah students had the courage to challenge imperialist forces, he said.
