I am really disappointed by the role of our religious scholars (especially Deobandi and salafi ulema) who are keeping mum on these terrorists attacks which are, in fact, grave violations of Sharia. Either our ulema are covertly supporting these terrorist attacks or they are bloody cowards who are scared of condemning these terrorist attacks. In either case they are guilty of not doing their job.
It is really obvious that the enemies of Muslims and Pakistan are using very young men for launching these suicide attacks in Pakistan. The young brain is easier to exploit for targeting Shia gatherings, shrines, and other public places. It's easier to brainwash and make them believe that killing Shias and grave-worshippers (qabar-parast) at shrines is the real jihad. We cannot stop these attacks without chocking the channels used for recruiting these youths by the terror masterminds. And the fact is we cannot do that without religious scholars assuming their lead role in this task. How can these so-called scholars play that role when we haven't heard or seen even a single scholar talking against this fitna.
The number one requirement at the moment is for our scholars to come forward collectively and condemn these terrorist attacks openly on the TV. They need to address their followers, especially students of madaris, that these attacks (that kill scores of innocent people) are no ticket to paradise. Rather suicide attacks are haram in Islam and the suicide attacker (who first burns his own body) goes direct to the hell fire. How can you expect Jannah by killing innocent people? I think our coward ulema are failing us as a nation.
Cannot agree more. Trying to stop the enemy from hitting us by improving security measures has a limit and we have already almost reached that. The real effective way to stop these attacks is to bleed the enemy profusely. If they attack our markets, schools, shrines, trains - then to make them taste the same pain - return the favor in the same coin. Show the enemy that we have many more and much bigger targets in their cities, towns, and states. That's the only way to make them feel the agony that follows such attacks.
