Mubarak Ali Gilani
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His Eminence, the Sixth Sultanul Faqr (Sultan of the Asetics-Sidasa Sultanul Faqr) Sultanul Muhiyuddin al-Imam as- Shaykh as-Sayyid Muhammad Mubarak Ali Shah Gilani al Hasany wal Husaini al Hashimi al Qaderi al Chisti is a Pakistani Sufi Barelwi cleric,[1] and is ,according to Neocons, the alleged founder of Jamaat ul-Fuqra. He was the man Daniel Pearl was seeking when he was abducted; Pearl wanted to interview him regarding a suspected connection between Gilani and "Shoe Bomber" Richard Reid.[2][3] Gilani was questioned in Pakistan concerning the abduction[4] but subsequently released.
In a 2002 interview Gilani said that he believed the jinn to be a greater danger to America than terrorism:
Human beings can be made to do things against their will. They can be made to commit crimes. They can made to go and kill people. You know? And all your missiles, all your rockets, space ships go up. And electronics, they can be damaged, influenced, and misdirected through the agencies of jinn beings.[5]
