I think it is about time we get away from ‘Fatwas’ about justification for a course of action.
There have been so many ‘Fatwas’ been thrown around in the sub-continent that ‘ Fatwa’ or any other declaration by a half-baked mullah has no meaning. For example early in 20th century, Deoband Ulema declared that use of loud speaker was haram, now it is used in every mosque. How come something haram one day became halaal a few years later? On the other hand ‘Suicide’ is clearly forbidden thru a Quranic verse (Word of Allah), but the Jihadis supposedly fighting for Allah conveniently ignore this edict. Do I hear ASWJ ( Deobandi) scholars issuing Fatwa against Suicide? It is a pity the the bigotry by mullahs has turned Fatwa into a joke.
Being a Muslim does not give any one a license to shoot people indiscriminately or destroy state property or blow himself up. It is an insult to other law abiding Muslims to condone acts of the TTP killers. This is a crime against humanity and needs to be dealt with ruthlessly.
TTP, Lej and all allies of Al-Qaida are in fact a ‘Fitna’. It the job of the government of the day to safeguard life & property of its citizens. An order from the duly elected government of the day should be enough. You don’t need Fatwa from religious scholars to eliminate this cancer from the society.
