Jihad Only Answer To Terrorism Says MMA's Qazi
Source: NNIJihad in the way of Allah is the only answer to terrorism, and through Jihad the world could be liberated of tyrannies, said Qazi Hussain Ahmed here while addressing a seminar arranged by city lawyers. Guess it all depends on your definition of "terrorism," huh? Condemning the dual American standards, the Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami and a central leader of Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, told the participants Muslims were being subjected to oppressions in Chechnya, Kashmir, Palestine and Bosnia, but the so-called US conscious [I think he means "conscience." -Fred.] was silent there. Qazi Hussain Ahmed pleaded that peace in the world could only prevail if there is sustainable justice parallel to the end of hunger and fear. "Establishment of a society based on justice was possible only through the protection of people's lives and honours," he observed. "So as soon as the khalifate is up and running, everything'll be just peachy..." The absence of a just society in our age is due the fact that the oppressed cannot withstand the oppressor, he said. "And we want the oppressed to rise up and face the oppressor," the JI Amir said, adding "there is no other way." "So get out there an jihad!" Referring to his Japan visit and subsequent meeting with the last surviving victim of the atom bomb attack on Hiroshima, Qazi Hussain Ahmed said the lady had no answer when told Japan could have averted the devastation had she possesses the bomb too. That was a stupid statement even for Qazi... The Jamaat leader resented the current "Muslim-bashing" in the United States, specifically the Pakistanis. "Muslims are made to work there under brazen violation of all international norms and are humiliated," he deplored. Life is tough when your a turban in Texas. Not quite as bad as day-to-day in Pakland, but tough, I'm sure... Later talking to reporters, the JI leader opined that the ulma form all schools of thought are now joining the MMA because of unity and resolve in ranks and files. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-01-17 |
