Media reports seem to be taking wild turns every moment on the issue of so-called Islamic State or ISIL. In the beginning there was news of US seeking Iran’s cooperation in fighting ISIL amidst rumours that these terrorists have already penetrated all the western countries.

Even after all Muslim countries and organisations condemned the inhuman acts of these self-styled “Islamists”, their masters in disguise are desperate to hoodwink the common people the world over and to kick off euphoria of all sorts against Islam and Muslims.

With the exposure in Gaza war the Zionists are forced to invent newer and newer methods of spreading Islamophobia to keep the ball of instigating violence rolling.

With Iran not biting the worm, there has to be talk of beheadings and killings of different ethnic sections of people.

The spate of bombings and killings going on in and around Baghdad since the war on terror are not entirely a different plot.

If ISIL is Islamic in any sense of the word, why is it not attacking the Israelis, who have been tormenting Palestinians for decades?

Is there any example in history of Islamists fighting their opponents with their faces covered?

We hear on and off about terror modules being busted and terrorists admitting to plotting terror attacks almost everywhere. Why then there is so much delay in meeting out justice? Why the accused or suspects are not either executed in public or let off honourably if at all such news reports are credible?

The Zionist puppets at the international level are as usual busy raising nonissues like moral policing, “mahapanchayats”, bomb blasts by terror modules, etc. This time once again in spite of the Muslim community in Northwest Delhi agreeing to suspend the Muharram procession, the mischievous elements in their usual way called mahapanchayat in the area with the sole aim of whipping up communal passions. Unlike many other processions, Muharram processions at least in Delhi were never known to have caused any harm to anyone.

Due to law and order problems of unruly processions causing violence, it was agreed long back by all sections in society that processions should be banned. No scripture justifies processions. It is surprising why and to whose advantage these processions are allowed if not to confuse and decontrol the law enforcement agencies.

The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be to him) said that the condolence on death of a person cannot go beyond three days except for a wife on the death of her husband.

No one knows how this tradition of forty days of condolence every year upon the martyrdom of Imam Hussain has come into practice. Obviously it is an innovation requiring immediate halt. Every informed Muslim should stress on strict adherence to the principles of the Qur’ān and Sunnah and stop entertaining blind beliefs and rituals, before we can expect our Non-Muslim brothers to understand the true face of Islam.
