Outfits like Boko Haram and ISIS are terrorists and enemies of Islam and Muslims: Mushawarat

President of the All India Muslim Majlis-e Mushawarat, the umbrella body of Indian Muslim organisations, Dr Zafarul-Islam Khan condemned organisations like Boko Haram in Nigeria and the “Islamic State in Iraq & Syria” (Da’ish) as terrorists and enemies of Islam and Muslims. He said such organisaitons are puppets in the hand of our enemies to blacken the name of Islam and Muslims. Islam does not allow kidnapping of innocents, and slaughtering and crucifying people. Authorities everywhere should eradicate such fascist expressions of hate and intolerance. Dr Khan cautioned Indian Muslims to beware of elements trying to disseminate extremist ideas. Islam is an open and tolerant religion which does not force itself on others.   Milligazette
