Passive Islamists

"“While they seem non-political, what they propagate ultimately provides ideological ground to militant outfits. Because they are not armed does not mean they are tolerant of other views,” added leading rights activist Farzana Bari.
Early this year, progressive groups campaigned to abolish the controversial blasphemy law, which bans insulting the Prophet (PBUH). Islamists, including green-turbaned preachers, castigated them as “infidels”.
It was amid that charged atmosphere that Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer was killed by his own guard because he supported its abolition.
In 2006, after a stampede in the women’s congregation of Dawat-e-Islami left several severely injured, the followers did not let male medical workers help the injured women because they considered it “un-Islamic for strangers to touch women”. Several women died because of the delay in providing medical assistance.
“It has a trickle-down effect. These men use private patriarchy for compliance of their female family members and children so the radicalisation process multiplies. They are pushing for more religious and conservative society by shoving them in centuries-old Arab world,” said Bari.
While Taliban militants use guns and bombs, the preachers use non-violent tactics, such as securing support of world-class cricket players and pop stars, which Paracha terms as “poster boys” for attracting millions of youths who idealise them."

"Daily Pakistan (February 4, 2005) reported that Lahore High Court had asked for expert opinion on whether to accept the evidence of DNA test. In two cases claims of paternity had been proved false on the basis of DNA test. Religious scholar Sarfraz Naeemi said DNA was not acceptable under Islam because it was not sure enough."

"Quoted in Khabrain (March 20, 2005) Jamaat Islami leader Munawwar Hasan said that by allowing a Muslim woman to lead the prayer in the US the Americans were creating a new edition of Islam for their own purposes. Prof Sajid Mir of Ahle Hadith said that Islam had been deeply insulted by the Americans' plot of getting a woman to lead the namaz. Sarfraz Naeemi of Jamia Naeemia of Lahore said America had attempted to create fitna. Aslam Siddiqi said that Muslims will not say namaz behind a woman but watch her. According to daily Pakistan, Qazi Hussain Ahmad's daughter Raheela Qazi said that Islam did not allow a woman the imamat. Sajid Chaudhry said that the Muslim ulema in America kept quiet because they wanted to retain their green cards."

"Quoted in daily Pakistan (22 July 2005) Jamiat Ulema Pakistan (JUP) leader Qari Zawwar Bahadur said in Lahore that the London bombings were done by the Qadianis and the Jews as a conspiracy against Islam. He said the Qadianis and the Jews had finally come together as enemies of Islam and their plan is to victimise the Muslims of the world."

"Speaking to Nawa-e-Waqt, (20 July 2005) a group of great Islamic scholars of Lahore, including Sarfraz Naeemi of Jamia Naimiyya, Maulana Abdur Rehman Makki of Jamaat Dawa, Pir Saifullah, Maulana Nusrat Ali Shahani, Maulana Abdul Malik and others, said that Tony Blair's popularity was failing therefore he arranged the 7/7 London bombings to unite his voters. They said that 9/11 too was a plan to grab the Muslim states; and Musharraf was committing a blunder by supporting Bush."

"Quoted in Nawa-e-Waqt (May 31, 2006) Lahore's great Barelvi leader Sarfraz Naeemi stated that Hudood Laws should not be changed just because the rulers and the parliament wanted it since the MNAs did not even know what they were signing on. He said there were five Quranic punishments under hudood which could not be changed or repealed: theft, accusation of zina, commission of zina, drinking alcohol and robbery. He said the rulers were creating confusion about Islamic law, which should be resisted."

"The author reports eight incidents of terrorism by individuals who are said to have spent time in the Tableeghi Jamaat. Similarly, a group of British Muslims accused of plotting to blow up transatlantic airplanes with liquid bombs were also supposedly tableeghis. These incidents sensitised the British state and public about its existence. Thereafter, its image as a non-violent, peaceful faction changed.
Even in Pakistan, it is believed the Jamaat provides recruits to militant outfits like Harkat-ul-Mujahideen and Jaish-e-Muhammad."
