A special round of applause for the Indian Muslims, on issuing Fatwa against the terrorist organizations or the jehadis. They also demanded that these advocates of hatred stop naming their outfits after Allah and Prophet Mohammed. Several Muslim religious organizations also decided to launch a campaign to discourage Muslim youth from falling prey to such violent groups.
The fatwa is a message to rest of the population that Islam in no way supports violence, and the religion is being branded with terrorism just due to some people. It came in the wake of an unknown Islamic group calling itself Lashkar-e-Qahar (Army of the Subduer) claiming responsibility for the gruesome Varanasi blasts.
Islam is a religion of peace and using holy names against peace is disrespecting Islam, which does not even allow harming a tree or an animal cannot condone killing innocent people in the name of Jihad. To use the Prophet’s name for terrorist activities is sinful and un-Islamic and this is not Jihad. Not all fights are Jihad and terrorists are never jihadis.
According to the religious heads these terrorist organizations use the Prophet’s name just to attract religious-minded young people. Let these terrorists use other tactics and if they cannot drop the path of violence, then at least they must drop the Prophet’s names so that the entire Muslim community is not blamed.
