| JI for solution to moon-sighting issue | |
| 2017-06-27 | |
| [DAWN] Jamaat-e-Islami ... The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independentbranch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... acting Emir Liaquat Baloch says the split in the Eid celebrations on sectarian grounds in this age of advance science has made the nation a laughing stock. Speaking at an Iftar dinner in the city on Sunday, he stressed that the federal and provincial governments should resolve the issue of moon-sighting on a permanent basis with the consultation of religious scholars. Mr Baloch said the government had made the month of Ramazan and its different forms of worship a joke and its attitude was almost criminal. However, some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go... he said, the poor and sincere people would be duly rewarded by Allah for their noble deeds during the sacred month.
