Darul Uloom Deobandurges Hindus, Muslims to unite on Gita

[IndianTiger]

LUCKNOW:
Islamic
seminary
Darul
Uloom
Deoband issued a
statement
on Wednesday defending the
Hindu religious text
Bhagwad Gita. Deoband vice-
chancellor Maulana Abul
Qasim Nomani condemned
the "Russian diktat against the Hindu holy scripture" and
urged Hindus and Muslims to
unite to drive home the
point. Nomani also pitched
for a joint approach against
anti-Islamic bans Muslims face in the West. But, many in the Deoband
campus were surprised by
his statement. They viewed
it as a tactical move by the
V-C to shed his
ultraconservative image for wider acceptability. The
appeal to Hindu religious
heads to extend similar
support to Muslims pointed
to his cautious approach lest
he was misunderstood and misinterpreted, sources said. "Allegation portraying Gita
as extreme literature are
totally baseless and highly
objectionable," Nomani told
TOI. No religion in the world
promotes violence and terrorism. "This ban amounts to
violation of the freedom to
practise religion of choice
enshrined in the Indian
Constitution. The Russian
highhandedness deserves to be staunchly countered," he
said. The Maulana in turn expected
a similar support for Muslims
from Hindu gurus on ban on
hijab in several nations. "
Affront to religion from
foreign shores needs to be opposed by both
communities together for
maximum impact," he said. Maulana Khalid Rashid, head
of Lucknow's Firangimahal,
also denounced "Russian
arrogance" and said Muslims
must offer their unflinching
support to Hindus in what he called a direct attack on their
private space. "We appeal to
the government to take a
firm stance so that such
blasphemous interference is
not attempted in future," he said.

Mods, this formatting is becoming standard on this forum! I don't know about others but to me this is demotivating! I don't feel like reading the news when I see something posted like this!

Can we have some sort of standards and mods who are willing to act to maintain those standards?

This is good news. Especially when it comes from deoband.

 

[T90TankGuy]

his is the unity and strength of people (especially when politicians are not involved)

 

[StrikeForce]

As long as politicians are not involved , there will be peace among people of all religions across all regions around the world.

There is something for politicians to gain out of the rivalry...People never fight war, its only the politicians who rage wars one another...

This is my humble opinion.
