Speaking at the center in India, for the launch of his book, Fatwa on terrorism and suicide bombings, the Pakistani-based scholar, told the audience that terrorism is completely prohibited in Islam, reports The Indian Express.
Fatwa on terrorism and suicide bombings is an English translation of Qadri's 2010 fatwa in Urdu.
However, Qadri is not uncritical of the West. Notably, during the Mohammed cartoon crisis of 2005 Qadri called for the newspapers that had printed the images to apologize, and for legislation to be introduced to "balance the right to freedom of speech with the rights of individuals and communities that their sacred beliefs should not be insulted and ridiculed."

He also criticizes the Western media in his fatwa for over reporting terrorist attacks and not mentioning the "positive and constructive aspects of Islam."
"Humiliating non-Muslim citizens is forbidden."
Qadri also speaks of the "injustices being currently meted out to the Muslims in certain matters" and "the apparent double standards" of the "main powers" (presumably the US and Britain) in their military engagements in Muslim majority countries.
"But," Qadri says, "the terrorists' recourse to violent and indiscriminate killings have become a routine affair, taking the form of suicide bombings against innocent and peaceful people, bomb blasts on mosques, shrines, educational institutions, bazaars, governmental buildings, trade centres, markets, security installations, and other public places: heinous, anti-human and barbarous acts in their very essence."
The terrorists, says Qadri "justify their actions of human destruction and mass killing of innocent people in the name of Jihad (holy struggle against evil) and thus distort, twist and confuse the entire Islamic concept of Jihad. This situation is causing Muslims, the young in particular, to fall prey to doubts and reservations, muddling their minds in respect of Jihad, because those perpetrating these atrocities are from amongst the Muslims. The perpetrators practice Islamic rituals, perform acts of worship and put on outward forms set down in Sharia."
Qadri declares, in his fatwa, that:

And, "Killing a non-Muslim and destroying his property due to religious differences is forbidden."

ReplyDeleteDr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, Minhaj-ul-Quran on Ahmadis;
ReplyDelete“For three days from November 14 to 17, 1985 Dr Qadri presented his arguments continuously before the Federal Sharia Court of Pakistan to determine the quantum of punishment to be awarded to a person guilty of contempt of the finality of the Holy Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him), an extremely delicate legal matter.
“He established, on evidence from the Quran and Sunna, that a person guilty of contempt of the finality of the Holy Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) deserved death sentence and the punishment will be imposed as Hadd.
“The act of contempt of the finality of the Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) is a crime, which cannot be tolerated whether its commission is direct or indirect, intentional or un-intentional. The crime is so sanguine that even his repentance cannot exempt him from the penalty of death.
“Dr Qadri placed a massive array of arguments before the learned Court and particularly stressed the point that no lacuna should be allowed in the legal structure of an Islamic state to encourage this form of sacrilege. The chambers of the Court will continue to reverberate with the passion and eloquence with which Dr Qadri conducted his defense of the sanctity and dignity of the the Holy Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him).
Interestingly this was on Dr Qadri’s own web site, however when he issued the 600 page fatwa and it was pointed out that his sentiments against Ahmadis probably did not go well with fatwa, the page was promptly removed. Any interested party can see the deleted page in google cache for as long as it stays.
