Eminent Islamic scholar from Pakistan, Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri has been actively campaigning against radicalism across the world. In an interview to Pramod Kumar he said Muslims nations should collectively fight to exterminate radicalisation.
All countries whether Muslim or non-Muslim, secular or religious, should come together and fight against the ISIS to terminate them from their roots. De-radicalistion should also be taught in schools and universities.
They quote the holy books out of context. I have written a book ‘ISIS Exposed through Prophetic Traditions’ which will be published shortly. It will prove to be a good counter-narrative. The Quranic verses are also misunderstood. People take a part of the verse and start quoting out of context.
Since I am fighting against the radicals theologically, ideologically, philosophically and academically I should be the first man to be disheartened because people are not coming forward. But I am not disappointed. What I have told you I say it in Pakistan, US, Egypt and in Arab countries.
I agree with you. This is the duty of the state as well. Such a big force cannot be fought by individuals. Islamic states should take this initiative.
This discussion has nothing to do with Islam as a religion. To me ‘Mata’ means mother. In every language and every nation we respect mother. In English we say motherland, you say Bharatmata. In Urdu and Iranian or Persian we say ‘Madre Watan’. Everybody loves his Watan–the motherland. There is absolutely no harm in it. It is compulsory for everybody to love his Watan.
I agree with you. This is the duty of the state as well. Such a big force cannot be fought by individuals. Islamic states should take this initiative.
