Against Terrorism
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
