Clerics reject Madrassa Ord
The Wafaqul Madaris Al-Arabia and Jamiat Ahl-e-Sunnah have rejected the Madaris Ordinance of 2005 and urged the government to make a new ordinance that addresses their reservations, otherwise seminaries will not register.
"Nope. Nope. Ain't gonna do it. Nope."
Addressing a press conference at the Lal Masjid after a meeting, Maulana Abdul Rauf, Qari Ayyaz Abbasi, Maulana Abdul Majeed Hazarvi and Maulana Abdul Malik alleged that the government wanted to remove religious seminaries and clerics from the scene. “The government is mistaken. It is highly condemnable to incorporate clerics in the list of criminals,” they said.
"Even when they rape little boys and kill people! We're holy dammit! That's why they call us holy men!"
They stressed that Maulana Abdul Aziz and Maulana Abdul Rashid Ghazi were performing religious services and declaring them proclaimed offenders was “condemnable”.
Jihad's a religious service, y'see...
They said that the Madaris Ordinance of 2005 had been promulgated against what the government had pledged. They said that all madrassas had been directed not to register under this ordinance. “If the government is sincere, it should address our reservations, bring a new ordinance and get it approved from the four provincial assemblies,” they said. They added that the removal of two or three reservations would not work. “We have also given a countrywide protest call on Friday with the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal against enlisting clerics with criminals,” they said, adding that a protest rally would be held on January 3.
