Fatwa against Terrorism
June 1st, 2008 
krishna The Fatwa On Saturday, Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband issued a fatwa describing any kind of violence that breaches peace or killing of innocent persons as ‘most inhuman crimes’. Earlier in February, for the first time ever Darul Uloom Deoband and its political arm Jamiat-i-Hind had denounced terrorism as un-islamic but had not issued any fatwa. This is first time ever that the Islamic seminary has issued a fatwa asserting that “Islam rejects all kinds of unjust violence, breach of peace, bloodshed, murder and plunder and does not allow it in any form” Anti-Terrorism Conference A day after the fatwa an anti- terrorism conference, under the Jama Masjid United Forum, was organized by Muslim organ izations in New Delhi on Sunday.

It is not the religion that instigates the people to indulge in violence but the wrong interpretation of the religious teachings. Terrorism a Global Threat Terrorism is not a threat to a specific country or reason it has emerged as the threat to whole world , even a threat to the existence of mankind To tackle the menace, the whole mankind will have to fight a war against it with its full might .It is not the responsibility of the [...]
