Fatwa Against Suicide Bombing

1,800 Pakistani Muslim clerics have issued an Islamic directive forbidding suicide bombings. Will this bring an end to the deadly  practice of Islamic terrorism? 

By: The Algemeiner 

More than 1,800 Pakistani Muslim clerics have issued an Islamic directive, or fatwa, forbidding suicide bombings, in a book unveiled by the government on Tuesday.

For years, the South Asian nation has been plagued by violence by Islamist militants, who often use suicide bombers and preach that their struggle is a holy war to impose Islamic rule.

Suicide attacks are frequently condemned as fanatical and immoral, especially when civilians are killed, but insurgents view the tactic as their most effective weapon.

Seeking to curb “terrorism” that has resulted in tens of thousands of casualties since the early 2000s, the clerics declared suicide bombings to be forbidden, or “haraam.”

Stability of a Moderate Islamic Society

“This fatwa provides a strong base for the stability of a moderate Islamic society,” Pakistan President Mamnoon Hussain wrote in the book, prepared by the state-run International Islamic University and released at an official ceremony.

“We can seek guidance from this fatwa for building a national narrative in order to curb extremism, in keeping with the golden principles of Islam.”

Foreign and domestic critics of Pakistan’s government and military accuse them of cozying up to radical groups for political and military purposes and say the state has turned a blind eye to hate preachers in mosques for too long.

The fatwa was ratified by a number of prominent clerics who are outspoken critics of liberalism and the West, and are seen as controversial for preaching sectarianism or supporting the Afghan Taliban.

One of the clerics who signed, Muhammad Ahmed Ludhianvi, is the face of a banned sectarian organization, Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamat (ASWJ), and has been placed on a Pakistani legislative list of individuals with suspected links to “terrorism.”

The ASWJ figurehead, Aurangzeb Farooqi, attended the signing ceremony.

Another signatory, Hamid-ul-Haq, is the son of a cleric widely regarded as the “Father of the Afghan Taliban” after many prominent militants, including Taliban founder Mullah Mohammed Omar, were found to have graduated from his seminary in the northwestern city of Peshawar.

[On New Year’s Day, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un asserted, “The entire area of the US mainland is within our nuclear strike range. The United States can never start a war against me and our country,” adding, “The United States should know that the button for nuclear weapons is on my table.” Kim clarified that he would not use those weapons except in response to aggression.
Not to be outdone by Kim, Trump tweeted in response, “I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!”

The president’s cavalier threat to start a nuclear holocaust cannot be dismissed as the rant of an immature bully. Trump controls a powerful nuclear arsenal. In fact, a few days after Trump’s nuclear button tweet, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared it would sponsor a public meeting to cover “planning and preparation efforts” in the event of a nuclear attack.
Trump’s Tweet Is Illegal
Trump’s tweet violates several laws. Threatening to use nuclear weapons runs afoul of the United Nations Charter, which forbids the use of or threat to use military force except in self-defense or when approved by the Security Council. North Korea has not mounted an armed attack on the United States nor is such an attack imminent. And the UN Security Council has not given the US its blessing to attack North Korea. Trump’s tweet also constitutes a threat to commit genocide and a crime against humanity.]

 SIR Syed Ahmad Khan & SIR Muhammad Iqbal
By Tariq Khan & Comments from Others
SIR Syed Ahmed Khan was a stooge of the colonial tyrant rulers of the sub-continent of INDIA. He was recruited so as the MUSLIM population should also adopt the English Culture and domination and must disassociate themselves from Arabic / Persian / Turk heritage, culture and language. SIR Syed Ahmed Khan was heavily funded by the colonial power and was given the notorious title of SIR. The Aligarh University produced a colonial-minded ‘ELITE’ class shrouded in ENGLISH CULTURE. The elite class what latter was referred as ‘Brown Sahib’. The proud ISLAMIC fibre was shattered. The cultural and mental situation is multiplying till date. Aligarh University produced a coward and materialistic minded generation. This coward generation is multiplying continuously. Syed Ahmed Khan himself was not a highly educated person. During the Indian Rebellion of 1857, he remained loyal to the British Empire and was noted for his actions in saving European lives. Syed repeatedly called upon Muslims to loyally serve the British Empire. Sir Syed supported the British (NOT Muslims) during the 1857 uprising.

SIR Allama Muhammad Iqbal was a poet by birth. He was always on donations. Nawab of Bhopal was paying him RS. 1500/= PM. He married 5 times. He became a follower of Mirza Ghulam Ahmed of Qadian. He was very fond of Whisky. Use to visit Hiramandi regularly in Lahore. He wrote a kind of national anthem “SARAY JEHAN SAY ACCHA HINDUSTAN HAMARA …”. He never ever mentioned the word PAKISTAN in his poetry. He never met POONJA BHAI. He died in 1938. Not Iqbal or POONJA but TAJ-E-BARTANIA decided to divide the MUSLIMS of INDIA into three parts. As far as his poetry is concerned two third of his poetry is in PERSIAN Language.  One Third is in Urdu Language. Urdu is not understood by the majority of MUSLIMS of INDIA. Some stupid call him as the poet of the EAST. But the EAST does not know even his name. He is known only in Iran. He gave nothing but a kind of fantasy multiplied by romance … “BAHR-E-ZULMAT MAIEN DORRA DIYAY GHORRAY HUMNAY”, etc. He received the title of SIR during the time was a follower of Mirza Ghulam Ahmed. Iqbal’s poetic works are written primarily in Persian rather than Urdu. Among his 12,000 verses of poetry, about 7,000 verses are in Persian.

Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (1876-1948) son of Poonjabhai “Jinno” and Mithhibai is the founder of Pakistan and was the country’s first Governor-General. His first marriage in 1892 was the result of his mother urging him to marry his cousin Emibai Jinnah before he left for England to pursue higher studies. However, Emibai died a few months later. His second marriage took place in 1918 to Rattanbai Petit (granddaughter of Dinshaw Maneckji Petit and Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata), a Parsi who was 24 years his junior. Rattanbai converted to Islam when she married Jinnah and took on the name Maryam Jinnah, but continued to be known as Rattanbai. In 1919, she gave birth to their only daughter, Dina Jinnah. Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was sent to Ziarat on Faulty train to die silently that no one knows how pain he was suffering. Nowadays even for minor cases our Politicians go to UK or USA for their treatment, while Founder of Pakistan was sent to Ziarat to die.

Donald Trump’s Tweet on Pakistan

Shared by : Bitter Truth.

Written by : Asif Haroon Raja

Pakistan was made an ally by USA in September 2001 to fight its war on terror as a frontline State but was treacherously subjected to biggest ever covert war to destabilize, de-Islamize and denuclearize it. For the success of covert operations launched by RAW-NDS combine backed by CIA, MI-6, Mossad and BND from Afghan and Iran soils in FATA and Baluchistan from 2003 onwards, Pakistan was subjected to a willful propaganda campaign to demonize and discredit it by painting it as a the most dangerous country of the world. It was subjected to a barrage of unsubstantiated accusations that it was in collusion with terrorist groups. It was also alleged that Pakistan’s nuclear program was unsafe and might fall into wrong hands. Allegations and denunciations were made by Bush regime as well as Obama regime and Pakistan was constantly asked to do more. Policy of ‘Do More’ was a clever ploy to bleed Pakistan as well as to tarnish its image and thus weaken it from within.

The latest narrative framed against Pakistan by Donald Trump regime is that it is continuing to provide safe havens to Afghan Taliban and Haqqani Network and is chiefly responsible for the instability in Afghanistan. It ignored Pakistan’s colossal sacrifices and brilliant successes achieved against the foreign funded and equipped terrorists. On August 22, 2017, Trump subjected Pakistan to severest denunciation and threats while pronouncing his Afghanistan policy. He reiterated his stance while elucidating his national security policy last month. Trump, Secretary Defence Rex Tillerson and Vice President Mike Pence have rejected Pakistan’s explanations and hurled threats of aid cut, sanctions and losing territory if it fails to abide by the US dictates. The old allegation that Pakistan’s nuclear assets are unsafe has again been repeated and Pakistan put on notice.  In other words, a clear cut narrative has been framed to validate punitive action against Pakistan. Threat of unilateral action has been sounded by USA to force Pakistan to fight its war and help the US in converting its defeat into victory.

On January 1, Trump gave a New Year gift by tweeting: The US has foolishly given Pakistan more than $33 billion in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies and deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe havens to terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more”.

Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif, in response to Donald Trump’s tweet said that Pakistan was not worried as it had already refused to ‘do more’ for the US. “We have already told the US that we will not do more, so Trump’s ‘no more’ does not hold any importance,”. “Pakistan is ready to publicly provide every detail of the US aid that it has received.” Asif tweeted. “Will let the world know the truth….difference between facts & fiction.” He added that any drone attacking Pakistan’s urban centres will be shot down.

Pakistan Foreign Office summoned US Ambassador David Hale and lodged its protest against US President Donald Trump’s tweet wherein he accused Pakistan of “lies and deceit” and used undiplomatic threatening language against an ally.

Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has summoned a meeting of the National Security Committee on 3rd January. He will chair the huddle to discuss the future course of action following the US President’s scathing statement against Pakistan.

None appreciated Trump’s weird tweet inside and outside USA except for India, which is rejoicing and is terming Trump as the best President the US has had since ages. I was asked for comments by India Times Now but got thoroughly disappointed by my curt reply that, ‘Pakistan is quite used to ups and downs in its relationship with USA, but mercifully it has got out of the US magic spell, and it no more yearns for US aid, and that it is now India’s turn, which is in the tight embrace of USA, to face the music. I also rubbished the claim of $33 billion and added that Pakistan lost $123 billion in US imposed war besides 70,000 human casualties.
