Hakimullah not a martyr, declares Sunni Ittehad Council

LAHORE: Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) on Friday denounced the title of ‘martyr’ for the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan’s slain commander Hakimullah Mehsud, saying this went against the teachings of Islam, Express News reported.

The Council, which is a political coalition of numerous religious groups hailing from the ‘Sunni’ tradition of Islam, issued two fatwas based on the opinion of around 30 ‘Muftis’ on Friday.

SIC Chairman Hamid Raza Rizvi announced that the collective opinion from all Muftis said calling a man responsible for the loss of so many lives, a ‘martyr’ went against the teachings of Quran and Sunnah.

Earlier this week, Chairman Jamaat-e-Islami Munawwar Hasan and the JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman had remarked that TTP chief Hakimullah Mehsud was a ‘martyr’, considering the circumstances of his death.

Rehman had gone to the extent of saying anyone at all killed by the US would be a martyr, in his opinion.

The SIC disapproved of this comment and in a second fatwa, also thumbed down the idea of justifying killings in the name of revenge for drone attacks.

The Council maintained that the inhuman drone attacks represented the worst violation of laws, morals and basic tenets of humanity, but killing innocent people as a way of ‘avenging’ them was unacceptable.

Chairman Hamid Raza also asked Rehman to take his words back.

I always know that this is going to happen. I was looking forward to it. At last they've said every word I was looking for.

Tells that Pakistan still have sane religious organisations in the country.

JI and JUI-F should be banned for having any sympathy for terrorists. Their desires for supporting Terrorists are now evident. The rule of the game should be simplified, Either you are with us or you rot in hell.

Some sane voices at last , that is what the nation needs ! Not some " Amir " of another religious party declaring the killers and terrorists as " martyrs " in fear or maybe even genuine sympathy with Taliban to ensure their own safety .

At such critical time,this is the greatest need of hour to expose such type of political parties,who are using 'religion card' to get their lowclass objectives.
This is the greatest tragedy of Pakistani politics,that political leaders have always used religion/ethnic card,without ever understanding the sensitivity of situation.
At this point once again @Secur's statement becomes valid,however I will modify his statements with respect to the situation:
'The greatest trick ever picked by mullahs is to use 'religion card' to justify their political agendas for personal benefits'

I was expecting them (pseudo mulla politicans) to give such statement without understanding the consequences of their statements,thank god,that Sunni council which consist of sane religious representatives slapped on their faces by denying their so called 'fatwas'
