ISIS, Other Terrorist Organisations Enemies of Humanity: Asghar Ali Imam Mehdi

Maulana Asghar Ali Imam Mehdi Salafi, General Secretary of Markazi Jamiate Ahle Hadeeth Hind, in a statement on 4 December, has condemned terrorism in strong words terming it the worst calamity faced by humanity in the modern times.
He asked everyone who has even the slightest value for humanity to be ready for combating terrorism and eradicating the same from the surface of the world. “Terrorism has been condemned and discouraged in every religion and all the religions of the world have stressed on a peaceful atmosphere for the human kind.  Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Shias, Sunnis i.e. every section of the society particularly the Muslim Organisations have been against it since earlier days.  But as the cobra of terrorism has spread its fang and dangerous terrorist organisations such as DAISH are smearing humanity with blood, everyone has to be much more united and alert against them,” said the statement.
The General Secretary of Markazi Jamiate Ahle Hadeeth Hind further said that his organisation has been continuously condemning terrorism in the strongest words for the last decade.  It was Markazi Jamiat itself which had first of all issued ‘fatwa’ against terrorism in different languages in our country which was signed by all the greatest scholars and had organised conferences, symposiums and seminars against it and had spread awareness regarding its danger among the masses through the platform of Friday sermons. Especially against terrorist organisations such as DAISH, it organised programmes in different states such as Delhi, Haryana, Karnataka and Telangana with the collaboration of State Branches.  It condemned it through press releases and expressed its view point against the same.
Maulana further stated that terrorist organisations such as DAISH are proving to be extremely dangerous for the whole humanity at the world level. “Therefore, all have to show utmost seriousness and wisdom in this regard and consciously or unconsciously any such step should not be taken which may be a cause for the conflict between the Muslims which may jeopardise mutual fraternity and brotherhood and our campaign against terrorism may not lose steam due to deviating from the real issue,” he added.
Continuing his statement, the Jamiat leader further said that “unfortunately some of our brothers are trying to malign the Ahle Hadeeth or Salafi ideology by unwittingly equating the same with that of DAISH and are trying to tarnish its image whereas there is a world of difference between the two ideologies.  We strongly condemn this unfortunate incident.  The Ahle Hadeeth ideology is not a hidden thing.  Since time immemorial it has been equally cooperating in the progress and development of our burgeoning country and it has been always in the service of the humanity to the best of its capacities.  And it has played very pivotal role in raising voices against terrorism and spreading awareness in the masses against its danger.”
