Ashrafi urges minorities not to be afraid of anyone as Constitution guarantees equal rights
|
[DAILYTIMES.PK] Special Representative to the Prime Minister on Religious Harmony, Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Mehmood Ashrafi
...who looks like he's never missed a meal and then some..
on Wednesday urged minorities not to be afraid of anyone as the Constitution of Islamic Theocratic Republic of Pakistain guarantees equal rights to all.
Which doesn't address the question of why they're murdered on a whim, forcibly converted, or accused of blasphemy when a pious Moslem wants something they have...
Addressing the National Conference for Women organized by Interfaith Harmony Council, he said people of all religions played their role in the creation of Pakistain and most of Moslems were duty bound to take care of minorities.
Islam did not allow forced conversions and teaches us to respect faiths and sacred personalities of all religions.
Not a single incident of blasphemy
...the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence to a deity, or sacred objects, or toward something considered sacred or inviolable. Some religions consider it to be a crime. In Pakistain you can commit blasphemy by looking cross-eyed at a Koran...
occurred in the country during the last eight months, he said adding, the government would never allow use of blasphemy law for personal gains.
Then his lips fell off.
Referring to terror attack on a Church, he said the seminaries students were first who rushed to the venue to donate bloods to their Christian brothers and likewise during a terror attack on a mosque, the Christians donated their bloods to Moslem brothers.
Sure they did.
He said Islam was the first religion to provide unprecedented rights to women. Islam stresses protecting the rights of wives, daughters and the Holy Koran provided inheritance rights to the daughters. Islam allows women to do business.
"We should promote interfaith harmony by arranging frequent get together of the believers of all religions," he said.
Quoting the verses of Holy Koran, he said, the killings of one human being was tantamount to killing of the whole mankind and the saving the life of a person was like saving the lives of whole mankind.
Lauding the goodwill gestures of Paleostinian Christians during Israeli attacks, he said the Christians opened the gates of churches for Moslems and allowed them to offer prayers and break their fasts there during Raman ul Mubarak.
Commenting on Afghan’s situation, he said, Pakistain wanted peace and tranquility in Afghanistan and would never allow use of its land against any country.
