The NWFP Minister for Science, Technology and IT Hussain Ahmed Kanju has called upon the Ulema and Islamic Scholars to project Islam before the world particularly Western countries in its true perspective and perception and negate the propaganda of western media against Islam. He noted with concern that Islam was being proved as a terrorist religion in the world while it was not so.

This he said during the inauguration of Mini Book Fair, organized by the Study Aid Project at Brains Post Graduate College of Information Technology, Peshawar the other day.
| "Brains Post Graduate College of IT"? Wish I had that on my degree... |
The Fair was aimed to explore the great religion of Islam, attract and apprise young generation about its teachings and promote Islamic culture. Islamic Books, Audio & Video cassettes and CDs comprising of the writings and speeches of renowned Ulema and Islamic scholars of the entire Muslim world were placed in stalls of the Book Fair.
| Might as well stick to the Science, Technology, and IT basics. Why waste time discussing things like pointers or memory allocation or structures? Embedded systesm? What could be more embedded than Islam? |
Mr. Kanju said that Islam is the only religion of the world that guarantee the life and honor of every mankind irrespective of its religion and caste. He further said that Islam has termed the killing of a single mankind tantamount to the killing of the whole humanity therefore the Muslims could not think killing of innocent lives. He made it clear that religious seminaries were the fortress of Islam and spiritual centers of the Muslims.
Later, during his visit to different sections and computer labs of Brains College, the IT Minister said that Govt was making tireless efforts for promotion of IT in the province saying that six projects worth millions rupees have been approved in the current budget. He said that efforts were underway to introduce IT as optional subject at Metric level to equip our youth with modern education. |
