The dargah committee of the 12th century shrine of Khwaja Moinuddhin Chishti in Ajmer has urged all Muslim schools of jurisprudence in India to declare terrorist groups like Tehreek-e-Taliban and ISIS as un-Islamic following the brutal killing of school children in Peshawar in Pakistan.
“The All India Ulema Mashaikh Board, Sunni Dawat-e-Islami, Jamiat-e-Islami, Deoband and leading Islamic schools should pass a decree stating Taliban and their loyalists as infidels. They only deserve curses,” said committee’s president Asrar Ahmed.
Ahmed termed Taliban as biggest enemy of Islam. “It is the duty of every faithful Muslim to come out in numbers to protest against these militants for defaming our Islam and killing innocents,” he said. “Let’s be vociferous in our expression that how much we hate them. Our message should be clear that we are dead against such militant forces,” he urged Indian Muslims.
“Our silence during such occasions is misinterpreted not only by extremist elements here but sometimes also by our youngsters. Our holy book ask us to raise our voice against evils,” he said.
Commenting on the present situation in Pakistan, he said, “This is the outcome of Jihad factory which the Pakistan has nurtured for its gains and is now backfiring. I ask them why they can’t book Talibanis under blasphemy law for killing children, bombing Sufi shrines and mosques etc.”
Moved by the incident, Syed Wahid Angarashah, secretary of Anjuman Syed Zadgan, a body of Khadims said, “It’s high time for the moderates to take a tough stand against these monsters. Forget about their claims of true Islamic believers, they cease to be Muslims by such horrendous act.”
