Clarifications On Jehad and Terrorism by Ulema
Hyderabad, November 10: : More than 5,000 clerics attending the 29th national conference of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind raised their voice against terrorism and also underlined their resolve to fight terror. In a bid to clarify the difference between jehad and terrorism, the conference reiterated that jehad was constructive while terrorism was destructive and had no place in Islam. A resolution passed at the end of the two-day national conference condemned the propaganda linking Islam with terrorism. “We want to make it clear that Islam does not allow killing of the innocent. Jehad and terrorism are not at all linked. They are different. Jehad can only be waged to restore peace and harmony.” The Jamiat also gave a general call for support to fight terrorism in the country. Ulema Joining the Cops
