Re: Masjids that preach terrorism
true its not ...but at the sametime it is a struggle against an secular oppressive regime ...so that govt. must take steps to atleast try to enforce shariah the best way it can ...this way it can justifiably called these elements as khawarij who have exited the faith .....
I am tempted to use this label on thse people too but the I think that its unfair to them the original khawarij were unjustified in revolting in the time of Ali b abitalib who was most knowledgable in faith ,most strict in implementation of shariah and harshest in criticizing the offenders.He also had helpers like ibn abbas and abu ayyub ansari ....these modern day khawarij-esque elements have no such role model to look upto
What secular oppressive regime????!!!????
This started because these guys wanted some ALLEGED whorehouses shut down, correct? Why didn't they get the media on the phone, expose the involvement of the police and government in these matters, and negotiate with Aunty Shamim to publish the names of those who have been receiving services in the whorehouses??
There are SO MANY other ways to have handled the situation, and what do these goons do? They kidnap the females ALLEGEDLY involved, and proceed to have muslim women of Jami Hafsa beat the crap out of two police officers who tried to intervene.
If you think that is ANYWHERE near Islam, then I'm afraid I don't believe in the same religion YOU believe in.
And what Shariah are we talking about?? The people who are hammering for Shariah in Pakistan are the same people who did not want the Hudood Laws to be mended. Those laws punished rape victims for being victimized, and there is NO requirement in Islam for a rape victim to call in 4 witnesses for her case to be heard! Yet, its laws like these that are not Islamic at all, that many maulvi parties in Pakistan FOUGHT to keep.
So, is this the shariah you want?
I think EVERYONE in Pakistan, with the exception of minorities, would want the laws to be more Islamic. Everyone at least, wants corruption to be erased, education to be made available to everyone, everyone to get some economic opportunity to sustain themselves. These things don't happen with a week's worth of fighting from inside a mosque!
