| Muslims Should Help Pak In Case Of War: Sheikh Faysal Mawlawi |
| 2002-06-03 |
| Sheikh Faysal Mawlawi, the Deputy Chairman of the European Council for Fatwa and Research has issued fatwa that in case of Indo-Pak war, it is the duty of all Muslims to help and support Pakistan. "Whenever there is a war between a Muslim country and another state, it becomes a duty upon all Muslims to help their fellow brothers in Islam against their enemies so long as they are not the aggressors", Sheikh Faisal was quoted by Cairo-based Islam Online as saying on Wednesday. And by definition no Muslim country can be an aggressor, because Islam is a religion of peace, isn't it? In case of the prospective war between India and Pakistan, it is clear that the reason is Kashmir, Sheikh Faisal said adding that the Kashmiris, the majority of whom are Muslims, want to be attached to Pakistan, which is an Islamic country, while India rejects the idea and tries to display its sovereignty on Kashmir. India's a secular state, where people can be any religion they want. Can't have that. Good Lord, no! He said the UN General Assembly and the Security Council have both issued many resolutions demanding India to respect the right of Kashmiris to self-determination. Refusing all these resolutions, India still insists on accusing Pakistan of inciting the people of Kashmir to demand independence from India. Thus, in case of war, it behooves not a Muslim to stay idle or hands tied. Rather, it is his duty to help and support his Muslim brothers in Kashmir and Pakistan in this unjust war, he maintained. "So let's get those Jihadis lined up. Yessir! 72 virgins for each and every shaheed, by golly, each one more comely than the other, and guaranteed not to laugh at the size of your doinker..." |
