Suicide attacks un-Islamic, say ulema
2015-05-19
[DAWN] Some 200 religious scholars have issued a decree against suicide kabooms and termed them unlawful under Islamic law.

The decree issued at a conference of Learned Elders of Islam here on Sunday said the philosophy behind the self-styled Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS), banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
and other so-called jihadi outfits was misleading.

Such groups operated in an un-Islamic manner and their thinking was flawed because it was based on poor knowledge and ignorance, said the decree released to the media by Maulana Zia ul Haq Naqshbandi.

The so-called jihadi outfits were unmindful of the conditions that must be met before declaration of jihad. Furthermore, the elements involved in sectarian killings were guilty of 'fasad', as Islam did not allow killings in the name of sect.

"The Islamic government is bound to crush such rebels," said the decree.

It described the elements opposing polio
...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set...
immunisation campaign as "misguided people". "And those killing women health workers are the worst criminals," the decree said.

Those who attack worship places of non-Moslems are the worst sinners and protecting non-Moslems is mandatory for an Islamic state, according to the decree.

Maulana Naqshbandi said the conference had decided to observe Friday (May 22) as a day for peace and love. On the day, sermons would be delivered in about 400,000 mosques against unlawful killings, he said.

An Learned Elders of Islam board would be set up to counter the narrative of terrorist organizations like the TTP and IS.

A movement called "Eradicate Terrorism and Save Country" would also be launched, said the Maulana.
