Qadri told a judge Monday in written testimony that he decided to kill Taseer after he attended a gathering on Dec. 31 organized by Shahab-e-Islam, a small Islamist group that operated in his neighborhood in Rawalpindi, just outside the capital, Islamabad. He said speeches given by a cleric leading the group, Qari Hanif, and another member, Ishtiaq Shah, played a major role in his decision.
Just more evidence of what we already know. What governor said or did was not an issue. Mullahs could not bear anyone who could be a challenge to clergy's power.
If Mullahs don't incite people to do horrible things, there won't be problems.
