LAHORE: Lawyer MD Tahir on Friday served a legal notice on Tom Tancredo for his statement and asked him for public apology. He said if Tancredo would not seek apology he (Tancredo) would be sued for $500 million damages for hurting religious sentiments of 1.5 billion Muslims across the world. He said only a sick-minded person could ever think of injuring feelings of Muslims because Muslims never ever thought of attacking the US. Supreme Court Bar Association secretary Sarfaraz Cheema termed the statement as an eye-opener for the whole Muslim community. He urged Muslims in particular and US government in general to take notice of blasphemy committed by Tancredo. He said Tancredo had hurt feelings of Muslims. He said the statement was meant to create clash between the civilisations.
He said, “We will sacrifice our lives for the sake of our religion.” He urged Muslims all over the world to be united against the anti-Islamic elements. He criticised the Pakistan government for helping the US in war against terrorism. He said the US was responsible for terrorism across the world, adding that this statement could be a cause of terrorism. “The West has no respect for Muslims’ emotions,” he said.
