ZAHIRA SHEIKH EXCOMMUNICATED GT- 25 December, 2004 Bhopal: In a significant development , the All India Muslim Tehwar Committee (AIMTC), comprising of Ulema and representatives of over 100 Muslim organizations, on Friday declared Zaheera Sheikh, a witness in the Best Bakery case, as a munafiq (hypocrite) and excommunicated her.
The decision was taken at the emergency meeting of the Muslim religious scholars, convened in Bhopal on Friday. The Majlis-e-Shoora (advisory council) of AIMTC unanimously decided that in view of the Tehelka expose, it had been confirmed that Zaheera had been lying again and again. COMMENTS: I personally congratulate the AIMTC and the Muslim faith at large for this singular action. This is the need of the hour where religions of the world seem to be the carpets under which a lot of dirt (read hypocrites) is hiding. I wish the Catholic Church in particular and the Hindu Samaj at large would have in place such a committee as AIMTC, specially in Goa, wherein if 'munafiqs' were to be excommunicated, we would have only the 'good intentioned' citizens around and 'NO POLITICIANS' to soil the sacred places where GODs live, on SUNDAYs and every conceivable opportune day. Wouldn't that be what we really want??? Floriano www.goasu-raj.org .
