It is the sacred duty of
Islamic religious leaders to isolate the terrorists who claim the right to kill
Kufirs as per the tenets of Islam. Hindu religious institutions, is extremely
concerned about the relentless attacks on India by terrorists who openly claim
to be inspired by the Islamic faith and the Islamic Holy Texts. The e-mails which
were proved to have been sent at the instance of the terrorists clearly make it
out that the terrorists are motivated by what they interpret to be their
religious duty. Such emails came ahead of the blasts in Bangalore, Jaipur and
Delhi and the media had carried them. Some extracts from the email sent by the
terrorists who described themselves as Indian Mujahideen [IM] before the terror
attack on Gujarat in September brings out their reliance on their religious edicts
for their act of 'Jihad' against the unbelievers [Kufirs]. "Wait only for
five minutes from now! Wait for the Mujahideen and Fidayeen of Islam who will
make you feel the terror of Jihad. And stop them if you can. Feel the havoc
cast into your hearts by Allah, the Almighty, face His Dreadful Punishment, and
suffer the results of fighting the Muslims and the Mujahideen. Await the
anguish, agony, sorrow and pain. Await, only for 5 minutes, to feel the fear of
death." "O Hindus... Haven't you still realised that the falsehood'
of your 33 crore mud idols and the blasPhemy of your deaf, dumb, mute and naked
idols of ram, krishna and hanuman are not going to save your necks, Insha-Alla,
from being slaughtered by our hands? Nor is your fictitious faith in monkeys,
pigs and nude statutes going to save you from the Wrath of Allah and His
Humiliating Punishment. Know that it is only the true confession of the Oneness
of Allah Alone, with no associates, that can save your blood from being spilled
on the streets of your own cities. We call you, O Hindus, O enemies of Allah,
to take an honest stance with yourselves lest another attack of Ibn-e-Qasim sends
shivers down your spines, lest another Ghauri shakes your foundations, and lest
another Ghaznawi assacres you, proving
your blood to be the cheapest of all mankind! Have you forgotten your history
full of subjugation, humiliation, and insult? Or do you want us to repeat it
again? Take heed before it is too late!" "Yes! We - the terrorists of
India - THE INDIAN MUJAHIDEEN, - the militia of Islam whose each and every
Mujahid belongs to this very soil of India - have returned, to execute the
compulsion of Allah: 'Fight them (the
disbelievers), Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace,
and give you victory over them and He will heal the hearts of those who
believe.' (Qur'an 9: 14). It goes on to
quote: 'Fight those disbelievers who are near you and let them find harshness
in you'. (Qur'an 9: 123). 'Go forth
light armed or heavy armed and fight with your wealth and your lives in the way
of Allah'. (Qu'ran 9: 41]. The terrorists' claim is this: one, the Hindus are
Kufirs; the Holy Koran ommands the
faithful to kill them; whatever they do constitutes religious war, the Jihad.
So they are only obeying the command of the Allah as proclaimed in their holy
text. The Dharma Raksha Manch is extremely concerned at the religious motivation
for the terror. We are also concerned that the terrorists view of Islamic holy
text has the potential to motivate many fellow Muslims not only to support
their acts but also turn them into terrorists. Despite this explicit and brazen invocation of
the Islamic text for violence, the Islamic religious institutions have kept total
silence on the terrorists that their holy book commands them to kill non-believers
[namely, Kufirs] in Islam. Instead there is an attempt by some to explain away
the phenomenon of terror as due to illiteracy, unemployment and other
socio-economic causes. The Dharma Raksha Manch is of the firm opinion that the
Islamic theological institutions and their leaders owe it to their very faith
and its adherents to come forward and comprehensively deny, with appropriate
Fatwas as per Islamic tradition, the claims of the terrorists. But regrettably there is no such thought or move
by the Islamic religious leaders even though most of them have expressed
themselves against terror and asserted that Islam is a religion of peace. The
Dharma Raksha Manch therefore appeals to the Islamic religious Institutions and
scholars to come forward with an appropriate Fatwa to declare in unequivocal
terms that: - The Hindus are not Kufirs, that the Hindus are not non-believers;
- Therefore there can be no Jihad [or war] against the Hindus; The Dharma
Raksha Manch also appeals to the Islamic religious leaders to issue a proper
Fatwa according to their tradition to further declare that: - India is not
Dar-ul-Harab, that is, India is not a land against which Islamists have to wage
a war; - India is a Dar-ul-Amen, that is, India is a land of peace as Muslims could
practice Islam without any impediment. Such an unequivocal declaration alone
will deny the terrorists the legitimacy to use Islamic religion for their
violence, and isolate them within the Islamic community. The Dharma Raksha Manch recalls that
in the year 1992 the Dar-ul-Uloom Deoband, a respected Islamic school did issue
a Fatwa saying that Hindus were not Kufirs, India was not Dar-ul-Harab, but,
Dar-ul-Amen. But, unfortunately, many other Islamic institutions had issued
Fatwa against Dr. Abdul Raza Bedar, the then director of Kuda Bhaskh Library in
Patna, who had said that Hindus were not Kufirs. But now even the Dar-ul-Uloom
Deoband has kept silent on this vital claim of the terrorists, even though it
has held large conventions against terror and has declared that Islam is against
terror. The Dharma Raksha Manch
therefore appeals to all Islamic religious institutions and particularly, the
following, namely: 1. All India Milli Council 2. All India Muslim
Majlis-e-Mushawarat 3. All India Muslim Personal Law Board 4. All India
Ofganisation of Imams of Mosques 5. Al Jamea Tus Saifiyah 6. Al Jamiatul
Ashrafia 7. Darnl Uloom Deoband, India 8. Darul Uloom .Nadwatul Ulama, Lucknow 9. Darul Uloom Manzar-e-Islam 10.
Islamic Figh Academy (India) 11. Tabligh Jamaat (Known as a Markaz) 12.
Jamaat-e-Islami Hind 13. Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind
to come forward to declare, as mentioned earlier, - that Hindus are not
Kufirs, - that India is not Dar-ul-Harab, - that it is Dar-ul-Amen, and - that
there can be no Jihad against India or Hindus.
