Noted ulema and other prominent figures at a condolence meeting held to pay homage to Mufti Nizamuddin Shamzai at Jamiatul Uloom Al-Islamia, Binnori Town, here on Tuesday , endorsed the call given by the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal for a day of protest and peaceful strike on Friday. The protest day would be observed against the assassination of Mufti Shamzai in a terrorist attack on Wednesday. Speakers at the meeting appealed to the people to join in the nation wide peaceful strike to demonstrate that they stood against terrorism and the hostile forces' nefarious designs aimed at undermining Islam. | Nefarious designs, insidious plots, must be them Joos again |
| "Plots to the left of me! Plots to the right of me!" |
They held the US and Jewish lobbies responsible for the elimination of great Ummah leaders one after the other as well as for acts of terrorism targeted at mosques and Imambargahs. Lackeys of rulers, they said, were trying to give the bombings at places of worship a sectarian colour in line with the US agenda. Stressing the need for keeping an eye on certain multinational companies, NGOs and missionary institutions, they described the arrest of opposition activists and supporters in such cases as 'provocation'. | "Don't provoke us, you won't like us when we're provoked!" |
They told the government to uphold the sanctity of funeral rites and make sure that use of force, like teargas shelling, firing, lathicharge etc., was avoided during such processions. | Mssrs. Merriam and Webster don't know the word, but the Times of India does refer to it, in a way, sorta. Perhaps it's related to seething, eye-rolling and making faces. |
The meeting adopted a resolution which paid glowing tribute to the services of Mufti Shamzai in spreading knowledge and promoting jihad and tableegh, besides providing a great deal of assistance to oppressed people in Islamic world. | Good ol' Shamzai, he'll be missed. Well, no. |
