Srinagar: Mutahida Majlis-e-Ulema head and the chairman of APHC Mirwaiz Umar Farooq while expressing shock and grief, condemned the deadly attack by extremists on a mosque in Sinai province in Egypt on Friday that left around 300 worshipers dead.
Mirwaiz in a statement said that such dastardly acts are deplorable and intolerable acts of terror.
He said those who have targeted the innocent worshipers in a sacred place of worship are enemies of Islam and humanity and should be severely punished.
Mirwaiz expressed solidarity with the families of all the martyrs of the dastardly act and stated that the entire Kashmiri nation stands with the families of victims in this hour of grief and sorrow.
Mirwaiz prayed for the speedy recovery of all the injured in the attack.
He also expressed concern over the Bangladesh government’s decision of granting death penalty to two Jamaat-e-Islami activists.
Mirwaiz also condemned the New Delhi based news channel Aaj Tak anchor Rohit Sardana for using derogatory language against the wife of prophet Muhammad (SAW) Hazrat Aisha (RA) and Prophet’s (SAW) daughter Hazrat Fatima(RA) stating that that it is against the basic ethics of humanity to talk in a derogatory manner against those , especially religious figures held in great reverence and respect by members of a community.
Mirwaiz said Muslims will not tolerate it and such act can have serious ramifications.
Mirwaiz said ever since RSS backed BJP took over the reins of India, majority of news channels have been employed to Islam and Muslim bashing and deliberate attempts are made to promote a hate campaign against Muslims and Muslim figures in history and their role.
