PAT opposes suicide attacks
The Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) on Tuesday opposed the suicide bombings and the logic behind these extreme steps, said secretary general of PTA Anwar Akhtar. Suicide bombing was not only against the teachings of Islam but also a conspiracy to defame Islam and Muslims, he added. No doubt, the blasphemer Salman Rushdie deserved death but Islam did not teach to kill anyone by suicide attack, he added.He said the British government had hurt the feelings of Muslims by knighting the blasphemer Rushdie. He suggested Muslims to lodge their protest with the British government from the platform of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC). Muslims should seek resolution of this issue through diplomatic means and in accordance with the international law, he added. He said PATs Islamabad office had been closed as they delivered controversial statement on Rushdies issue against the policy of the party. Posted by: Fred 2007-07-04 |
