Partly Facetious: Maulanas have come of age

"Our Maulanas may have come of age."
"If you think the Hasba Bill will be allowed to remain..."
"No I was not referring to that. The President has gone to the courts for that and..."
"Interesting that he did that. I am sure he had other avenues open..."
"He couldn't have lumped this with operation Osama where collateral damage as they would, no doubt, delicately put it is allowed if you know what I mean."
"Well he could have said that Osama came a little inland and..."
"Don't be facetious."
"I mean the number of Pakistanis dead, civilian as well as military, have never been higher without an actual war being declared and fought."
"I guess. But anyway as I was saying before you side-tracked me the Maulanas have come of age."
"In what way! Is it to do with their deal with the President which first they reneged and later the President too reneged? This to me certainly shows that they have come of age."
"If the President gives them any encouragement and he may, given that he may need more Lotas in the National Assembly in the future, then they might make a deal with him again."
"Why would he need more Lotas - the Constitution is as amended as it can be and the rest is taken care of through ordinances or through a cabinet meeting."
"Don't be facetious. But going back to the deal I declare that all such deals be declared null and void. Besides the President is not supposed to make deals, but work for the people of this country."
"Half the time only. The other half of the time he has to work for the army."
"How can he divide his time equally between two jobs?"
"Good point. I mean isn't this the same principle as the second marriage clause? You can only have a second wife when the first one gives permission and you must treat the two equally."
"So by this logic, he should have held a referendum in the army."
"True, but he thinks he got that covered by opening it to the entire nation."
"And then he must devote half day to being president and half to the army."
"Don't be silly. Anyway as I was saying the Maulanas have come of age by condemning the London attacks and saying these terrorist acts are a well orchestrated conspiracy aimed at undermining the Islamic world."
"Mind the Islamic world was sufficient unto itself to undermine itself to begin with."
"That's certainly true. But these acts have hastened the process."
