Fatwa against terrorism

New Delhi: Leading Islamic Seminary Darul Uloom on Saturday issued a fatwa against terrorism.

“In its [Islam’s] eyes, on any part over the surface of the earth spreading mischief, rioting, breach of peace, bloodshed, killing of innocent persons and plundering are the most inhuman crimes,” read the fatwa. Reading out the fatwa, Deoband’s cleric Riyasat Ali Bijnouri quoted the Holy Koran as saying: “Do not mischief on the earth after it has been set in order.”

“Islam loves peace. Islam rejects all kinds of unjust violence ... and does not allow it in any form,” the fatwa said.

The fatwa further read: “The religion of Islam has come to wipe out all kinds of terrorism and to spread the message of global peace.”

The conference, however, expressed deep concern and agony over the present global condition in which most of the nations are adopting adverse attitude towards Muslims.
