Slaughtering people, blowing schools is not Islam
A major Pakistani politician Qazi Hossain Ahmad has condemned terrorism
in most vehement terms.He said that slaughtering people and destroying
girls' schools in response to even state repression is totally
unjustified and such acts are not Shariah but mutilation of Shariah.
. Qazi sahib said Islamic system brings blessings and not persecution
since neither the followers of Islam frighten people nor masses have any
fears from Islam. He said Islamic shariah provides complete security to
the lives, property and honor of the people. He said threatening barbers
and forcing people to have beards is not Sunnah since the Holy Prophet
(pbuh) never punished anyone for not having beard or observing purdah.
In fact the Prophet (pbuh) motivated people towards these Islamic
practices since the civilization is promoted with encouragement, he
said.
We feel that Qazi sahib, a great leader of Islam in the sub-continent
has said the truth.Terrorism in any name can not be justifiesd and any
authority outside the government of the state can not take law into its
hand. This is the view of all major leaders and organizations of Islam
in the current time.
