17 September 2006
THIS is in response to Imdad Ali’s letter, ‘Fighting an idea’ (KT, Sept. 16).
Whatever Mr Galadari wrote is true. But the situation is very complex. Because
perpetrators of those horrific crimes are using the name of Islam. They twist
and slant the meaning of Quranic Verses and holy traditions to justify their
actions.
Many of the Muslim leaders are also responsible for this crisis. They have
failed to provide welfare services to their citizens. Because of their
repressive rule, people in Muslim countries are living in extreme poverty.
Young people living in these circumstances fall prey to these fanatics. Muslim
leaders in Islamic countries must bring economic and constitutional reforms,
and try to create welfare Islamic States. This will dissuade young men from
joining them.
We, the ordinary Muslims, cannot go after those masterminds. But we can
frustrate those criminals by keeping an eye on our sons and brothers, who are
are misled by their vicious propagandas, and become their recruits.
