Lahore: The military must eliminate Taliban once and for all and Sufi Muhammad should wear bangles if he is hiding like a woman, Mufti Sarfraz Naeemi had expressed these views in a convention a couple of days ago.
Mufti Naeemi was strictly against the Taliban and their self-imposed sharia. He had time and again condemned the US but was clearly against suicide attacks. He also gave a fatwa (edict) against suicide bombings.
“Those who commit suicide attacks for attaining paradise will go to hell, as they kill many innocent people,” Naeemi had said. Unfortunately, Naeemi also fell victim to one such suicide attack.
Naeemi had several rallies to condemn the Taliban-style sharia. He favoured the military action in Swat. In a rally taken out by Tahafuz Namus-e-Risalat Mahaz (TNRM) on June 2, Naeemi had said, “Taliban have caused an irreparable loss to Islam and those who speak about stopping the operation in Swat are not true patriots.”
He had also said Sufi Muhammad, Fazlullah and Baitullah Mehsud were traitors and enemies of Pakistan and the army operation was the only option to save the country from them. Naeemi had said if Taliban were not eradicated they would capture the entire country. He had vowed to protect the country if the army failed.
“The Ahle Sunnat clerics should come forward and protect Islam and Pakistan,” he had said.
He also criticised those religious leaders who opposed the military action and said they were siding with Taliban.
“They (religious leaders defending Taliban) deliberately remained silent when the schools were closed, property was destroyed, the bodies were hanged, the shrines were bombed, women were raped and the allies of Pir Saifur Rehman were killed,” he had said.

Taliban govt was not Islamic, says Deoband scholar
Updated at: 1447 PST, Friday, June 19, 2009
DEOBAND: Grandson of Maulana Mohammad Qasim Nanotawi and rector of the Darul Uloom Waqf (Deoband) Maulana Salim Qasimi said Taliban have less knowledge and more ignorance; hence, they should not be deemed as having any affiliation with Jama’at Deoband.
Talking to a British radio, Maulana Qasmi said Taliban government in Afghanistan was not Islamic at all.
Commenting on Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, he said Maulana is more political than a scholar.
While reacting to Taliban terming Supreme Court and democracy as Kufr, Sadrul Mudrasssin and Nazim-e-Ta’leemat of Darul Uloom Deoband (Wakf) Maulana Aslam Qasmi said it is sheer ignorance, adding the concept of democracy is present in Islam; however, its has many various manifestations.
He said it un-Islamic to blow up the barber shops, education organizations and tombs, adding Maulana Nanotawi wanted to learn English language; but, time did not allow him do so.
Sheikhul Hadith of Darul Uloom Deoband Maulana Habibur Rehman said women have right to get all kinds of education including modern education, and its opposition is nothing but ignorance. -
