This is a response to an press release by the Asst Secretary Mr. Thassim of the All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama on the 18th of August 2009 in the Daily News.

The Islamic Solidarity front of North America says the All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama and the tawheed does not belong to Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’at. Who are involved in various fundamentalist activities?

Certain Muslim organisations are involved in terrorist activities in the east and related to armed groups and also certain Prominent Muslim politicians are the cover for these groups. These Politicians are funded during the time of the election and they are bound to give shelter.

When our Excellency the President Mahinda Rajapakshe, who completely eradicated terrorism, [?] Certain politicians from the East are trying to disturb the peace of our Mother Lanka. Islam says respect the law and order of the country you belong.

When the Beruwala incident occurred the All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama never came forward to express there concern and the All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama does not represent all the Muslims in Sri Lanka. They teach hatred by invading Zawia and Thakkiya’s belonging to the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’at.

Today certain extremist groups are exposed by the media. We take the opportunity to thank the media of exposing these elements. We belong to Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaat and we have been taught to live united among the non Muslims in our motherland and in any other Country. We respect all religion and mankind.

The misuse of the word Jihad by certain fanatic groups who are funded by oil rich countries to separate Muslims among Muslims and fight against each other and they are funded to build mosque in every corner which Islam does not permit. There are so many unauthorized mosque built lately by these groups and we have brought to the notice of the Minister of Religious affairs in the presence of the Mr Navavi who is the Director of the Department of the Muslim Affairs to look into this and this was confirmed by the M.Q.M Navavi the Director of the Department of Muslim Affairs at the meeting held at Religious Ministry.

Muhammed Reyyaz Salley, Chairman of the Islamic Solidarity Front of North America stated in a press release

“All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama says that the Muslims should not get involved in any propaganda misleading the Muslim community and causing humiliation for the whole Muslims but Mr Salley said the ACJU is also another organization which does not allow Muslims to live in peace. There are certain Islamic research centers who brainwash the children and get them hatred among there own families in the name of Islam. It is the duty of every Muslim organization to make an effort not to criticize and instigate people to fight against each other.

If we follow Islam according to the life style of our Prophet Muhammad sal (peace be upon him) we don’t need money from oil rich country. Certain Oil rich countries follow Abdul Wahab the founder of Wahabism. We believe in Sufism and Sufism is against terrorism and fundamentalism.

Furthermore, Mr Salley said lets follow our fore fathers from Prophet Adam to Prophet Muhammad sal (pbuh) and there Allah Awliya’s who educated us in proper Islam.

Islam consists of Peace and Harmony. We Muslim should set an example to every mankind and pray for the Unity of our Motherland. May the Almighty Shower his blessings upon us.

United we Stand. Country before Self
