Bangalore: Dreaded terrorist Nasir’s interrogation by the police is not only revealing interesting facts about their plans to carry out destructive activities but also on how terrorists are wrongly interpreting sufism to mislead the innocent.
Nasir has revealed that he used to discuss Sufism with associates.
The cops suspect that the extremist could be misleading others by talking about Sufism.
They also suspect that he might have wrongly understood sufism as it never preaches violence as a means to achieve anything.
Fourteenth century Syrian sufi philosopher Shah Nimatullah has defined Sufi as "one who is a lover of truth, who by means of love and devotion moves towards the truth, towards the perfection which all are truly seeking. As necessitated by love’s jealousy, the sufi is taken away from all except the Truth.’’
The investigators feel that had he believed in sufism, he would not have involved in bombing and killing people. He has a misconception of jihad and `way of life’ — the terms of sufism and because of this, he committed these, an investigating officer said.
Sufism defines jihad as winning over oneself and not carrying out war against someone else to kill. There is a possibility of Nasir either misunderstanding or wrongly interpreting jihad.
There is also a chance of talking about Sufism just to attract people and then slowly make them fundamentalists, the officer said.
It is evident that Nasir talked about sufism from his revelations to the investigating agencies. During 2006 April, one Sabeer a SIMI worker met Sarfaraz Nawaz (the logistic provider of Bangalore bombings and now in Bangalore jail). Sabeer had introduced Nasir to Safraraz for the first time in a Masjid at Perambavoor during a sufi programme.
After a month Sarfaraz met Nasir for the second time and discussed religious issues like dominancy and sacrificing oneself for the sake of God. Sabeer, Jabbar, Jaleel, Manaf, Faisal, Sarfuddeen and even Sarfaraz Nawaz (all are arrested) were attracted through talks on sufism.
Others Afthab, Fahiz, Mohemmed Yasin who also got involved in terror activities under Nasir's influence, later died in police encounter in Kashmir," the officer added.
