Ulema term Marriott attack un-Islamic
Ulema from different schools of thought on Monday unanimously condemned the truck-bomb attack at Marriot Hotel and termed it unIslamic and against humanity.Chairman, Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, Mufti Muneebur Rahman termed the attack a deliberate move to distort the image of the country and Islam. ''Suicidal attacks are against the teachings of any religion, law or ethics in any country and it is condemned by all beliefs,'' he said while talking to APP. He called upon the government to make concrete steps to investigate the sad incident and try to probe the root-causes of terrorism to eradicate this menace permanently. He said it is a clear-cut ëalarm and challengeí to the security agencies and the government. Maulana Zafar Abbas Naqvi also expressed deep condolence and sorrow over the colossal tragedy at the Marriot Hotel, which, he said, has left a trail of grievances across the world. ''Suicide can neither be endorsed as Islamic or from ethical point of view while it has largely been condemned across the world,'' he maintained and called it as ''Haraam'' (unfair). Maulana Zafar said that love for ones homeland and its inhabitants is also part of the religion. ìIf any body could not meet this important part of the religion, he would not be called a Muslim.î He demanded to arrest the culprit behind the gory incident to avoid further killing of innocent people and restore law and order in the country.
