Against Terrorism
The Peace Edict
Terror is sin, says Deoband. And that includes state terror.
Here's why the 150-year-old Deoband school declared terrorism un-Islamic:
- The seminary wants to dissociate itself from any radical Islamic thought emanating from the Arab world
- It wants every madrassa to spread the message that under no provocation can terror acts be justified as jehad
- This is a strategic step to counter the terror tag that is increasingly hounding the Indian Muslim
- Recent times have seen an increased number of arrests and detention of Indian Muslims as terror suspects
