The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal's chief, Qazi Husain Ahmed, defended jihad on Friday and said it could not be equated with terrorism because it manifested struggle for the right of the oppressed against the cruel and was aimed at establishing a society based on justice.

Speaking at a Friday congregation, he said Islam emphasises justice and teaches its followers not to accept slavery of any aggressor and worship only Allah the Almighty. "Denial of justice spawns cruelty in society and paves the way for injustice and atrocities against the oppressed and the poor," he said. He said the Holy Quran was revealed in Ramazan and it teaches the Ummah to wage jihad against terrorism and establish a system based on justice and equity. He said Islam also teaches to Muslims strengthen themselves. "The people of Kashmir and Palestine are facing state terrorism. America, Israel and India have become terrorist states and killing innocent people in the occupied Muslim territories," he said. |
