Moderate Sufis? In Modern era

http://almadinainstitute.org/blog/we-are-all-responsible-charlie-hebdo-and-the-defamation-of-islam/
"Stop blaming the “Wahhabis”: For many Muslims, the problem with violence is Wahhabism. Yes, ISIS/ISIL/IS is without doubt a child of the Saudi regime and the regime’s ideology. But, they also appropriate many of the universal teachings on Islamic governance and in particular the demarcation between friendly and hostile territories regulated by a paternalistic caliphate from an age when the modus operandi was war rather than peace. That, however, does not mean that “Wahhabis” are the only Muslims prone to violence. In fact, Sufi scholars were included after all amongst those who issued fatwas characterizing suicide bombings against Israelis and American soldiers in Iraq as “martyrdom operations” when the Wahhabis were strong and explicit in their condemnation of such acts. Many contemporary Sufis also call to the uncritical adoption of the teachings of Qadi ‘Ayyad’s Shifa’ which prescribes executing people for insulting the Prophet."

Why so few Sufis in global jihad?

"Sufism is a complex and cross-cutting belief system in Pakistan. Even Deobandis believe in Sufism. Naqshbandi, the major Sufi cult in Pakistan, is mainly comprised of the Deobandis. It is interesting that Maulana Masood Azhar, head of the major terrorist group Jaish-e-Muhammad, is also believer of Sufism and has restricted his followers to the practices of the Naqshbandi cult.
To further complicate the intermingling of beliefs and practices, the Barelvis, who are considered representatives of Sufism in Pakistan, are not free from pro-militant jihadi tendencies. In the Kashmir insurgent movement during the 1990′s the Barelvis were quite prominent. Some Barelvi militant groups, such al-Baraq and Tehreek-e-Jihad, are still active. Sunni Tehrik, a major Sunni sectarian group, was found to be involved in the violent activities in Karachi and Interior Sindh."

"The Saudis supported only the Wahhabi and Deobandi groups during the Afghan jihad against the Soviet Union. Moreover, the Arabs and Africans who took part of the Afghan jihad had similar sectarian orientations as the Wahhabis and felt more at ease working alongside the local Salafi and Deobandi commanders. The Afghan and Pakistani groups had also preferred to work with Arab and African mujahideen because they had the more substantial resources.

Had it not been for the Saudi and Arab factor, the Barelvis too would have been able to secure their share in the jihad effort. If that had happened, would the promotion of the Wahabi ideology be suggested as a counter-strategy today?

When one ideology is supported financially, morally and politically to counter the other, it can increase sectarian strife in a society. Pakistan faced the consequences during the Afghan jihad as sectarian strife dramatically increased in the country. Similarly, strengthening one group or sect can give rise to similar trends in other sects. So we see that many Sufi groups have also been radicalized and they are as anti-US and anti-Western as other violent groups, though they lack the training and resources received by the Deobandis and Wahabis."

"qutbist and wahhabi inspired Al-Qaeda differs from the deobandi inspired Taliban and both differ from the militant naqshbandi IMU and Chechen rebels. That which is important to conclude is that while jihadists tend to come from salafi, wahhabi, deobandi and naqshbandi backgrounds, only qutbists can be ascribed as extremists and jihadists by normative definition. There are many salafis, wahhabis, deobandis and naqshbandis who do not go into jihadist militancy."

"Do Pakistan's Barelvi clerics, as some in India argue, represent a benign traditionalist piety, hostile to the jihad-enthusiasm of Deoband? Not quite. Like its Deobandi counterparts, the Jamaat Ahl-e-Sunnat has been associated with Islamist causes across the world. A manifesto published after its April 2000 convention in Multan commits the Jamaat Ahl-e-Sunnat to expressly political causes such as preparing "a plan of action to help all the oppressed Muslims in the world, particularly the Kashmiri mujahideen," and to "protect and publicise the concept of Pakistan."

Several major terrorist groups active in Jammu and Kashmir, notably the Jammu and Kashmir Islamic Front, the Tehreek-i-Jihad and the al-Barq have emerged with support from the Barelvi clerical establishment. While none is as large as the Hizb ul-Mujahideen or the Lashkar-e-Taiba, the groups have demonstrated their capabilities more than once: the JKIF, for example, was responsible for the bombing of a crowded New Delhi market in 1996.

Several Barelvi organisations have taken even more expressly Islamist postures than the Jamaat Ahl-e-Sunnat. For example, Pir Mohammad Afzal Qadri's Aalami Tanzim Ahl-e-Sunnat, or the World Movement of the Followers of the Scripture, which was set up in May 1998, responded to the growth of the Tablighi Jamaat by campaigning for the creation of an Islamic state.

Aalami Tanzim leaders initiated their activities with a 1999 demonstration in Rawalpindi, followed in quick time by a protest at the Army's General Headquarters. Its cadre held up placards that demanded: "Rulers, implement the Nizam-e-Mustafa [Order of the Prophet] upon yourself." The organisation's literature attacked rival Islamist groups for creating "a soft corner for false religions and thus causing great damage."

Like both the Jamaat Ahl-e-Sunnat and the Deobandi organisations it opposed, the Aalami Tanzim was also not opposed to Islamist terrorism. Amongst its other front organisations is the Lashkar Ahl-e-Sunnat, which funnelled both funds and cadre to terrorist groups such as the Tehreek-i-Jihad. Led by Ghulam Farid Usmani, the Lashkar Ahl-e-Sunnat is committed to a "jihad for Allah and the supremacy of Islam."

At the heart of the conflict then is competition among clerics for retaining and expanding their power. The massive flow of funds from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states to organisations such as the Ahl-e-Hadith and the Tablighi Jamaat brought the traditional authority of Barelvi clerics under siege, provoking them to respond by creating their own jihadi groups, political fronts and institutions of patronage."

 "Hassan al-Banna, the founder of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood — the seed from which much of the modern jihadist movement was born — was profoundly influenced by the work of 12th century mystic Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazali. Although al-Banna rejected al-Ghazali’s theological convictions, scholars have noted that elements of the practices of the Sufi brotherhoods continue to suffuse organisations such as the al-Qaeda — practices like the swearing of a bayat, or oath, to its sheikh, Osama bin-Laden.

Pakistan has seen Sufi orders adopt jihadist tactics to counter their neoconservative theological rivals. In 1997, Sufi leader Allama Pir Mohammad Saeed Ahmad Mujadidi set up the Sunni Jihad Council to fight in Jammu and Kashmir. Speaking to the Gujranwala-based magazine Dawat-e-Tanzim ul-Islam in March 1999, SJC military commander Saeed Raza Bukhari said that the decision was taken because “certain people have used jihad to propagate their false creeds in Kashmir.”

In India, members of the mystic Deendar Anjuman order executed a series of 12 bombings in 2000. Deendar founder Siddiq Husain — who outraged conservatives by claiming to be the incarnation of the Lingayat-caste saint Channabasaveswara — sought to rebuild his legitimacy among Hyderabad’s Muslim elites by setting up a military training centre in 1939. Husain marketed his jihadist organisation, the Tehreek Jamiat-i-Hizbullah, as an instrument with which pre-independence Hyderabad would be able to resist both the Hindu chauvinist Arya Samaj, as well as a growing Communist insurgency. Police investigators found that Zia-ul-Hassan, Siddiq Husain’s Pakistan-based son, used the old Tehreek Jamiat-i-Hizbullah to execute the 2000 bombings, which were marketed as retaliation against Christian and Hindu atrocities."

"Marginalised by the Deobandis in the JUI, the Harkat and the Jaish, and by the Ahle Hadis -led LeT, the Barelwis declared at a mammoth conference of the Jamaat Ahle Sunnat in Multan last April: "Pick up the gun or risk losing the position". Significantly, several speakers called for curbs on "the terrorist organisations which have been organised in the name of jehad in Kashmir". Jamal reported (April 4): "Several jehadi groups which recruit mujahideen had set up their camps at the conference. These included the Tanzeemul Arifeen, Tehrik Jehad (Pir Panjal Regiment) Jammu and Kashmir, Sunni Jehad Council, Harakat Inquilab Islami, Lashkar Islam, Lashkar Mustafa and Lashkar Ababeel. All these nascent jehadi groups energetically solicited young men for military training. Two other Sunni jehadi outfits, the Sunni Mujahideen and the Lashmar Ahle Sunnat, were also present and carried out their efforts to recruit young Sunni men for military training." The Barelwis were then already in the process of setting up their armed wing, the Lashkar Ahle Sunnat."

Sufis in Afghan jihad

Extract from the page 115 of the book "Islam and Resistance in Afghanistan" By Olivier Roy. Apart from ostensibly Sufi-lead parties of Pir Ahmad Gailani and Sibghutullah Mujadadi, some Sufis were part of Nabi Muhammadi's Harkat-e-Inquilab-e-Islami and Rabbani's Jamiat-e-Islami and some even in Hekmatyar's Hizb-e-Islami.

https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=m3OfC1ZRq38C&pg=PA115&lpg=PA115#v=onepage&q&f=false

https://en.qantara.de/content/sufis-in-afghanistan-the-forgotten-mystics-of-the-hindu-kush 
"During the 10-year war against the Soviets, two Sufi masters, Ahmad Gailani and Sibghatullah Mojaddidi, the spiritual leader of the Naqshbandi, were among the most important leaders of the mujahideen fighters. In 1992, after the mujahideen seized control of Kabul, Mojaddidi was named interim president of Afghanistan. Although, since the mid-1990s, some Sufis have joined forces with the Taliban, most of the mystics were frequently suppressed under Taliban rule. In particular the Chishtiyya order, known for its love of music, was rigorously persecuted by the Taliban."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-12539409 

"it was during the Taliban's rule (1996-2001) when many Sufis were driven underground. A number were initially part of the Taliban movement but gradually people influenced by the Wahabi ideology became more prominent. Sufis were silenced.Some Sufis, especially members of the Chishtiyya Sufi Order which considers music to be an effective route to reach Allah, were prosecuted....

Taliban members come from various backgrounds, some have great respect for Sufis and are even followers of Sufism."

http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1098672.html
"Siddiqi told RFE/RL that the Taliban tolerated the activities of some of the brotherhoods. Thus, the followers of the Qadiriya, Naqshbandiya, and Sohrawardiya brotherhoods could conduct their ceremonies. After all, it is said that Mullah Omar, the spiritual leader of the Taliban, was a dervish of the Naqshbandiya. But Siddiqi said the Taliban persecuted the Chishtiya. 
"Many Sufis hid themselves, especially the Chishtis, because of their use of music. They held their ceremonies secretly. According to the Taliban, music is haram (illegal, impure). The Taliban were not against all the brotherhoods, only against those who held their ceremonies with music.""

http://www.afghanistannewscenter.com/news/2000/february/feb4n2000.htm
"The third strand of fundamentalist movement which seems attracted to the Wahabi-Deobandi combine in Afghanistan, is the Naqshbandiya. Most of the Muslim-populated North Caucasian region in Russia follows the shrine-worshipping mystical order of the Naqshbandiya. The uprising in Chechnya and its incursion into Dagestan is turning the Naqshbandi followers to the more strict orthodoxy of the Saudi-based Wahabi order. Russian onslaught in Chechnya is transforming the mystical faith into a militant one.

Afghanistan has become the retreat of Central Asian Islamists fighting against their ex-communist leaders. Juma Namangani and Tahir Yuldashev have staged a fundamentalist revolt against Uzbekistan's president Karimov and have sought shelter with the Taliban government after being accused by Karimov of trying to assassinate him in Tashkent. In 1999, Kyrgyzstan experienced a commando assault from these radicals along its borders in which some Japanese technicians were made hostage by them. Central Asian Islam has been traditionally Hanafi sunni with strong mystical colouring provided by the Naqshbandiya school of sufis.

In Afghanistan, the naqshbandi faith is represented by Sibghatullah Mujadiddi, Afghanistan's first president chosen by the mujahideen in exile in Peshawar in 1989. Mujaddidi is a descendant of Sheikh Ahmad of Sirhind (d.1624), also called Mujaddid Alf-e-Sani, who led a mystical movement of purification under Emperor Jehangir and was greatly admired by Islamic revivalist movements in India. It is a measure of the greatness of Sheikh Ahmad that the Naqshbandis of Afghanistan, Central Asia, North Caucusus and Turkey are all Mujaddidi today.

All three movements, the Deobandi, the Ahle Hadith-Wahabi, and Naqshbandi-Mudaddidi (in India), are against bidaa (innovation) in Islamic rituals. They oppose the eclecticism that developed among Muslims under the Mughals and wished to separate local accretion from the pure Islamic faith. The founder of the Naqshbandi order, Shaikh Ahmad, compelled the Mughal king Jehangir to persecute the Muslim mystical orders that had developed a spiritual consensus with Hindus and Sikhs."

علامہ شاہ احمد نورانی کا انٹرویو از سہیل وڑائچ جنوری 2002
شاہ احمد نورانی : علمائے بریلی نے انگریز کے خلاف جہاد کیا تھا۔ مولانا فضل حق خیر آبادی نے انگریز کے خلاف فتوی جہاد دیا ، جہاد کیا اور کالے پانی کی سزا بھی قبول کی۔ اسی طرح علامہ مدراسی اور مولانا شاہ عنایت کاکوروی کو پھانسی دی گئی تو جہاد تو کیا گیا۔ لیکن اس کے بعد تحریک ٹھنڈی پڑ گئی۔ 
.....
ہم نے تو کشمیر میں پہلے دن سے جہاد کیا۔ علامہ ابوالحسنات صاحب قادری یہیں لاہور سے کشمیر تشریف لے گئے اور یہاں ہر دوسرے تیسرے ہفتے سامان لیکر جاتے ، مجاھدین کی مدد کرتے اور بھرتی کرتے تھے۔ پیر کرم شاہ صاحب کے والد ماجد ، علامہ کاظمی ، علامہ عبد الحامد بدایونی اور پیر فضل شاہ جلالپوری یہ سب نہ صرف مریدین کو بھرتی کرکے جہاد کے لیے بھجواتے رہے بلکہ خود بھی جہاد پر جاتے تھے۔ بعد میں کشمیر میں خود جہاد نہیں ہوا
.....
 آپ ان سے یہ پوچھیے کہ سید احمد گیلانی اور مولانا نبی محمدی اور صبغت اللہ مجددی جہاد کی فرنٹ لائن پر تھے ، یہ کون لوگ ہیں؟ یہ سب ہمارے مکتب فکر کے لوگ ہیں ، یہ افغانستان کے رہنے والے تھے اور ہم ان کی مدد کر رہے تھے۔
......
سوال: کیا افغان جہاد کے بارے میں آپ کے کوئی تحفظات تھے؟
شاہ احمد نورانی: نہیں تحفظات نہیں تھے بلکہ جان بوجھ کر ہمیں الگ رکھنے کی کوشش کی گئی۔ کیوں کہ اس زمانے میں آپ کو معلوم ہے کہ ضیاء الحق صاحب سے ہماری کچھ کھٹ پٹ رہتی تھی ، تو جن جماعتوں کی کھٹ پٹ نہیں تھی ان کو مدد ملتی تھی اور ان ہی کو کیمپوں میں جانے کی اجازت تھی۔ اب آپ سمجھ گئے ہوں گے۔
سوال: کیا آپ کو کیمپوں‌میں جانے سے روکا گیا؟
شاہ احمد نورانی: نہیں ، کیمپوں میں‌جانے کی اجازت ہی نہیں تھی کیوں کہ کیمپوں کے ٹھیکے دئیے گئے تھے۔

ہم سے جہادِ افغانستان کی بابت سوال کرنے والوں سے کوئی یہ پوچھے کہ سید احمد گیلانی، مولانا نبی محمدی اور صبغت اللہ مجددی جو افغان جہاد کی فرنٹ لائن پر تھے، کون تھے؟ جہاد افغانستان میں15 نومبر1987ء کو خوست کے مقام پر شہید ہونے والے انجمن طلبہ اسلام قائدآباد ضلع خوشاب کے کارکن محمد یونس شہید کے جذبہ شوق کا یہ عالم تھا کہ وہ شہادت سے قبل ہی دیواروں پر اپنا نام محمد یونس شہید لکھا کرتا تھا۔

ہمارے مولانا شاہ احمد نورانی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ نے نہ صرف یہ کہ افغانستان میں روسی استعمار کے خلاف لڑلی جانے والی جنگ کو جہاد قرار دیا بلکہ نائن الیون کے بعد جب امریکہ اور اس کے غلاموں نے افغانستان میں قائم ملا محمد عمر کی اسلامی حکومت کے خلاف حملے کے منصوبے بنانے شروع کئے اور طالبان حکومت پر اقتصادی پابندیاں لگائیں تو یہ مولانا شاہ احمد نورانی ہی تھے کہ جنہوں نے جنرل حمید گل اور مولانا سمیع الحق کو تمام مکاتب فکر کے علما کو ایک پلیٹ فارم پر جمع کرنے پر مجبور کیا۔ اور پھر طالبان حکومت کی حمایت میں دفاع افغان کونسل کے نام سے ایک پلیٹ فارم بنا کر طالبان کے حق میں بڑی بڑی ریلیوں’ جلسوں اور سیمیناروں کا اہتمام کیا گیا۔

Sufi insurgents in Iraq
  
http://www.jamestown.org/single/?no_cache=1&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=4683#.VvGSixKLS8o
"Militant groups affiliated to al-Qaeda have attacked Sufis and their sacred places—including the demolition of tombs of Sufi saints—but on one remarkable occasion Sufis and Salafis fought together in the battles for Fallujah in 2004. The insurgents were under the leadership of Sheikh Abdullah al-Janabi, who is an adherent of a minor Sufi order called al-Nabhania. Al-Janabi was the head of the Mujahideen Shura Council, which controlled the Sunni city until December 2004. The Council was an umbrella organization of Salafi, Sufi and Baathi groups.With the escalation of Sunni-Shiite sectarian violence in post-invasion Iraq, Sufis started to complain of attacks by Shiite militias. The Kasnazani Qadiris called for civil peace through a fatwa proclaimed on their website, television station and the Mashriq newspaper. Other Qadiris had a different response to the growing violence. In April 2005 the Sufi Squadron of Sheikh Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani announced their formation as an anti-American armed group. According to statements in jihadi websites and forums, the group is especially active in and around the northern city of Mosul, where it is involved in setting road-side improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and sniper attacks against U.S. forces. Statements issued directly by the group are issued by the authority of the “General commanding the jihadi armed forces” and are published by the Baath website, al-Basra.net."

"It is a common perception that Sufism is a non-violent form of Islam, guiding its adherents away from political confrontation toward a more spiritual facet of the religion. Hence, Sufism was tolerated by totalitarian regimes such as in Iraq and—in some cases—practiced by the statesmen in such regimes. It is apparent from the regular military terminology used in the Naqshbandia magazine that ex-Iraqi military officers are the main core of JRTN and are using the Naqshbandia order to legitimize their insurgency. Although Sufism is in stark contrast with Salafism, both sects push their religious differences aside to unite against a non-Muslim enemy. However, any Sufi-Salafi alliance is not expected to survive in the absence of a common enemy, possibly even emerging as a new and bitter conflict in strife-torn Iraq."

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=105507397
http://souciant.com/2014/06/iraqs-sufi-militants/
"“Sufi militarism” seems like a paradox to many regional observers. Iraq’s Naqshbandhi Army therefore seems like it has no firm ideological basis. This is essentially true: the group espouses Sufism more as a populist strategy than anything else. Naqsbhandi seeks to fuse the Ba’athist and Islamist tendency of Iraqi insurgent movements into a new militant tendency. It is part of an umbrella organization called the Supreme Command for Jihad and Liberation, which formed in October 2007."

https://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/EB28Ak03.html

Feb 28, 2003: "Syed Ahmed Gillani, a descendent of Sheikh Abudl Qadir Gillani and custodian of his shrine, is a former Iraqi ambassador to Pakistan. While reluctant to discuss bin Laden, he says that although he cannot condone civilian killings, as a Muslim he is sympathetic with bin Laden. .......it is important to note that northern Iraq is the home of the Naqshandi school of Sufis. Local government official and spiritual leader Sheikh Mostafa bin Abdullah lives in Arbil, where Kurdish parties run a Western-protected enclave. Sheikh Mostafa commands great respect among all Kurds. Taliban leader Mullah Omar is also a devotee of Sheikh Mostafa. Maulana Khalid of the Naqshandi school resides in Baghdad, and he has good ties with Izzat Ibrahim, the deputy leader of Iraq, who is himself a Sufi of the Qadri and Rafahi schools. What is evident is that the various schools of Sufi Islam permeate the Iraq regime, and that they are no longer mutually incompatible with the Salafi bin Laden and the militant Ansarul Islam. "

June 13, 2014: Kirk Sowell, a Jordan-based political-risk analyst who publishes "Inside Iraqi Politics," says that the reinvigorated Ba'athist Party, known as the Jaysh Rijal al-Tariqah al-Naqshabandia (JRTN), and the ISIL have already previously worked together in Fallujah, where they have been battling government troops since January.
 
"As long as they are still fighting Baghdad, as long as they are still fighting the Iraqi security services, they appear to be getting along, and this should not be a surprise to anyone because they have been getting along in Fallujah for five months," he notes. 
 

Barelvi politics in Pakistan

http://www.dawn.com/news/1127288/dilemma-of-barelvi-politics
"Though Barelvi scholars and leaders project themselves as peaceful Sufi believers, they felt marginalised during the Soviet-Afghan war in the 1980s. They had then blamed the security establishment and Saudi Arabia for discouraging their participation in the Afghan jihad. Many Barelvi leaders also believed that the insurgency in India-held Kashmir was their front to fight from, but they were ignored there too.
They claim that the groups who had instigated the insurgency in India-held Kashmir were indigenous, nationalist and followers of the Barelvi school of thought but the security establishment replaced them with groups belonging to other sects who had experienced fighting in Afghanistan."

"However, establishing militant credentials is a difficult task. A Barelvi organisation Sunni Tehreek attempted to do so in Karachi but eventually decided on a political role. It did not have a nexus with militant organisations in the country or abroad which would provide its cadres with militant training and logistics. Secondly, the Sunni Tehreek did not have any tactical sectarian support from an Arab country."

http://www.jamestown.org/programs/tm/single/?tx_ttnews[tt_news]=37562&cHash=520e65450a..#.Vn5s3fHFugA

"Dawat-e-Islami and the Sunni Tehrik had played an important part in reviving the Jamaat Ahle Sunnat, which held a convention in Multan on April 1-2, 2000. It was the biggest gathering of Barelvi groups in more than a century. The convention was very critical of the Pakistani military’s pro-jihad policy and support to Deobandi groups. In his speech, Jamaat leader Syed Riaz Hussain Shah came down hard on the military, saying: “If the civil war in Kashmir is the right policy, the government must involve all the Muslims in it. It will be dangerous, as is becoming evident, to arm only a few sects [such as the Deobandis].” "

"The first opportunity for the Jamaat Ahle Sunnat to show its strength came in the fall of 2005, when Denmark’s Jyllands-Posten newspaper published 12 cartoons depicting the Prophet of Islam as a terrorist. The cartoons created anger among Muslims across the world. The fiercest demonstrations took place in Pakistan, where the Jamaat Ahle Sunnat and other Barelvi groups (including Dawat-e-Islami and the Sunni Tehrik), remained in the forefront of the demonstrations and sustained them for months. Every time the government indicated its intention of amending the blasphemy laws, the Islamists descended to the streets with a vengeance. Again, each time the Jamaat Ahle Sunnat and other Barelvi groups were in the forefront of the protests. The Jamaat Ahle Sunnat also led demonstrations against the release of Aasia Bibi, an illiterate Christian farm worker and mother of five who was accused of committing an act of blasphemy (insulting the Prophet Muhammad) and sentenced to death by a lower court based on the evidence of her lone accuser."


Barelvi hate literature

http://www.crisisgroup.org/~/media/Files/asia/south-asia/pakistan/130_pakistan_karachi_s_madrasas_and_violent_extremism.ashx
"However, Barelvi mullahs are no less sectarian and orthodox than Deobandis and those from other sects. Nor are all Barelvis and their madrasas devoid of militancy. The Faizan-e-Madina chain, for instance, run by Dawat-e-Islami, is certainly militant in its approach. Barelvi hostility is directed more toward the Deobandis and Ahle Hadith than Shias."

June 19, 2012: Pirzada Muhammad Raza Saqib Mustafai said: "And a time is about to come when Allah would bestow such a success on Islam that there would not be a single Jew left on the face of the earth. Hazrat Eisa [Jesus] would come; the warriors of Imam Mahdi [according to Islamic traditions he is the last Imam] would march into the battlefield; the pig would be killed and the symbol of cross would be broken.

"And it has been described in the books of Hadith [sayings of Prophet Muhammad] that Allah would provide such aid to the followers of Islam that if a Jew would be hiding behind a tree branch or a stone, then that stone would call out for the Muslim mujahid [to come] towards it and would tell him that a Jew is hiding behind me.

"And when the last Jew will be killed from this world, then peace would be established in the world – so much so that snakes would roam among people but would not bite. Wolves and goats would drink water from the same quayside and goats would not have any fear from wolves. It is the guarantee of world peace when the last Jew is slain. As long as there are Jews in this world, peace cannot be established in the whole world.

"Muslims are being called terrorists, as the cause of the destruction of world peace; but it is not the reality; Muslims are fighting the war of their survival. Muslims are not terrorists; they are the lovers of peace and preachers of peace. And all the troubles that exist around the world are because of the Jews.

August 22, 2012: A Norwegian-Pakistani Bralevi Imam, Fayed Sarased Ali Bukhari, quotes "Bahar-e-Shariat",  one of the most authentic books of Hanafi jurisprudence written by a Barelvi cleric, in his sermon: "If a person doesn't fast during Ramadan, he is mocking Islam. And if the person is in a Muslim state, the authorities must behead him. For a person who doesn't perform his daily prayers, and is of age and sound mind, the most lenient punishment in an Islamic state is incarceration. In certain schools of law, there would be grounds to kill them."

In the book "kufariya kalimaat k baare mein sawaal juwaab" by Mohammed Ilyas Attar Qadri Rizvi, from page 428 to 440, he writes that it is haram to make friends with non muslims, it is forbidden to shake hands with a non-Muslim unless you are in a majboor situation and even then you can not shake hands wholeheartedly but with sheer bitterness, it is forbidden to respect a non muslim,giving them gifts is haraam and kufar, learning any knowledge from them (science technology etc) is haraam. Working for a non muslim is forbidden. Eating with non-Muslims is also haram. It is obligatory on Muslims to love friends of Allah (prophets, companions, saints) and hate enemies of Allah (non-Muslims, deviant Muslims).

Misbahi also observed that saying Salaam is a form of prayer and therefore may not be said to non-Muslims, adding: "The prayer for forgiveness and wellbeing in favor of Kuffar [infidels] and Mushrikeen [idolaters] is illegitimate and haram. Therefore, saying Salaam on a mobile phone to a non-Muslim is extremely illegitimate and haram and extreme haram." He cited Radd Al-Muhtar, a celebrated 18th-century work of jurisprudence, as stating: "If a Muslim respectfully salutes a dhimmi kafir, then he will become a kafir because respecting a kafir is kufr [unbelief]." In his own words, the author explained: "Since it is kufr [unbelief] to respectfully salute a dhimmi [non-Muslim living under Muslim rule] kafir [infidel], respectfully saluting a kafir harabi of Hindustan [i.e. Hindus of India] will be the kufr of the first order. Therefore, do not salute/say salaam to the infidels and idolaters of here [India]." Hindustan means India; harabi refers to a resident of Dar-ul-Harb, or the land of war, as opposed to the Islamic world, which is seen as Dar-ul-Islam.

The author quoted several learned Islamic scholars of yore and books of fatwas to argue that for reasons of expedience, it is okay to greet an infidel and that in such a case it will not be considered as an act of kufr (unbelief). He arrived at several conclusions, one of which is that "to greet a kafir is not only haram, but kufr [an act that makes you an infidel]."

Incitement to violence on Barelvi TV channels in UK

http://ahmadiyyatimes.blogspot.com/2011/12/eye-on-extremism-europes-islamist.html
"Noor (light) TV is owned by Sufi Muslim ‘Saint’ Pir Alauddin Sidiqui who divides his time between Pakistani Kashmir and Birmingham England. Dawat-e-Islami, (a Barelvi answer to Deobandist Tableeghi Jamaat) has recently renamed Punjabi TV (previously owned by Indian Sikhs) as Madani. The UK Sunni Jamaat which used to buy airtime on previously secular channel DM Manchester in order to compete with Indian Salafi preacher Zakir Naik’s Peace TV, has launched its own Takbeer TV. The Hidayat (guidance to true path) TV belongs to Pakistani Shia clerics, who faithfully toe the instructions coming out of Qom, Iran."

Noor TV is Birmingham-based Barelvi channel run by Pir Alauddin Siddiqui; it was fined for incitement to murder blasphemers in its program "Paigham-e-Mustafa" by Allama Muhammed Farooq Nazimi:

""Disrespectful people should be eliminated." — Allama Muhammed Farooq Nazimi, presenter on UK's Noor TV, May 3, 2012

An Islamic television channel has been hit with a hefty fine after a Muslim hate preacher told viewers, live on air, that it was the duty of all Muslims to murder anyone who shows disrespect for the Prophet Mohammed.

Noor TV, a British-based Satellite Television Channel that broadcasts programs about Islam throughout Europe, was fined £85,000 ($115,000) by the British broadcasting regulator known as Ofcom for inciting people to commit murder."

"In a separate case in July 2013, Ofcom ordered DM Digital Television to pay a fine of £85,000 ($115,000) after it broadcast a speech by an Islamic scholar who said Muslims had "a duty to kill" anyone who insulted the Prophet Mohammed."

"In January 2013, Ofcom said that Takbeer TV, based in Nottingham, was guilty of violating the broadcasting code twice in 18 months for programs that incited hatred and violence toward the Ahmadiyya community, a minority Muslim sect."

Sectarian hatred and incitement to violence on Ummah TV (a Barelvi TV channel) in UK

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/hardliners-call-for-deaths-of-surrey-muslims-2112268.html 
Oct 20, 2010: "Islamic satellite channels, a rapidly expanding but largely unregulated section of the broadcast media, have played an instrumental role in recent anti-Ahmadiyya campaigning. This week Ofcom criticised the Ummah Channel for a string of three programmes broadcast shortly before and after the Lahore massacre in which clerics and callers alike said Ahmadis should be killed.
In one programme "Seal of the Prophethood" a cleric declared: Until now, whenever one has claimed to be a prophet the Muslim nation has issued fatwa that he should be killed. It is only that at present Muslims are weak and they do not have the power to slice such a man in two parts."
On 21 May the Ummah Channel broadcast a in which Islamic scholars debated the status of Ahmadis within Islam.
When a caller named Asim asked for a scholar to explain whether Ahmadis were legitimate Muslims the imam replied: "Since the time of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) the Sahiba [knowledgeable scholars] have confirmed that anyone who believes in a prophet after the Holy Prophet is a kafir [unbeliever], murtad [apostate] and Wajib-ul Qatal [liable for death]."
He later added: "Until now, whoever has claimed prophethood, the Muslim Ummah has issued the fatwa for them to be killed. And all these false prophets have always been killed. It is only now that Muslims have become weak and they do not have the strength that they should cut such people into two.""

Nov 5, 2014: "The Blackburn-based Ummah Channel has come under fire over “sectarian” presenter Shaykh Naveed Ashrafi.
YouTube videos showing Ashrafi denigrating “Wahabis” and Shias have been widely circulated this past week although the comments seem to have been made a while ago.
In one video he tells a caller not to associate with “Wahabis” because it would be endangering her Iman. He also tells her that it’s okay to call them “Wobblers.”
5Pillarz understands that a complaint to broadcasting regulator OFCOM was made but the channel was cleared over it.
The video can be seen here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wuxvqrSAhA
And in another video he tells a caller that it’s strictly forbidden for Sunnis to marry Shias as they are “not proper Muslims” who have “filthy beliefs.” He adds that “Sunnis” are not supposed to have any kind of relationship with Shias.
Again, the video can be watched here:

"Jihad’s Colorado ties can also be traced to Pakistani militant cleric Sheik Mubarak Ali Gilani, the leader of terror group Jamaat ul-Fuqra. (It was Gilani whom Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was traveling to interview when he was kidnapped and beheaded in 2002.) Gilani once visited and owned land in Colorado tourist hot spot Buena Vista. Ul-Fuqra established a nearby high-altitude training compound, where terror operatives stored AK-47 rifles and an estimated 6,000 rounds of ammunition. The camp was raided by local and federal law-enforcement officials in 1992; a quartet of homegrown jihadists were convicted of various crimes, including the firebombing of a Hare Krishna temple in Denver in 1984. Another ul-Fuqra weapons storage facility was busted in Colorado Springs."

http://archives.dailytimes.com.pk/editorial/11-Jul-2003/second-opinion-who-killed-daniel-pearl
"The book "Who killed Daniel Pearl?" referred to above is 536 pages long and is the result of some personal sleuthing done in Pakistan by French writer Bernard-Henri Levy, a philosopher who has been President Chirac's special envoy to Afghanistan and has travelled through Pakistan on a diplomatic passport. The book has not been translated into English yet but has been widely reviewed. Author Levy latches on to the intriguingly neglected spoor of one Mubarak Ali Shah Gilani of the custodians of the Mianmir Sahib shrine in Lahore who had taken to jihad quite early, under the wings of the ISI, and then made his fortunes in America by duping the easily dupable Pakistani expatriate community there. He had bought large tracts of land in California and was ousted from America only after he used terrorism against another spiritual cult and feared being arrested. Needless to say his mix of mysticism and jihad created rich financial alchemy in Pakistan and he rolled in billions worth of property. Englishman Richard Reid the "shoe-bomber", who nearly blew up an airliner, was his disciple."

Shaykh Abdalqadir as-Sufi


http://global-security-news.com/2011/05/31/shaykh-abdalqadir-as-sufi-anti-shia-fanatic-who-supports-jews-christians-and-shia-to-pay-jizya/
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/7271752/Radical-Muslim-leader-has-past-in-swinging-London.html
Feb 20, 2010: Born into a landowning clan in Ayr, south-west Scotland, he had left the family estate for London and quickly fell in with a host of stars after writing and directing a series of television hits. He directed a play starring Albert Finney, wrote versions of the classics Jane Eyre and Vanity Fair for the BBC and even acted in the Federico Fellini classic 8½.

But these days Mr Dallas is famed for very different reasons as the leader of an extreme Islamic group with thousands of followers across the world.

He has called for Britain to be run by a Muslim council and likened the war in Afghanistan to the Holocaust.

During the Sixties, he became increasingly disillusioned with his London life and began exploring Islam. In 1967 he met Shaykh Abdalkarim Daudi in Fes, Morocco, converted to Islam and took the name Abdalqadir.

He spent years travelling north Africa, learning from various leading Muslim scholars before founding the orthodox Murabitun Worldwide Movement in the early 1980s.
It now has more than 10,000 committed followers across the world – spread from Denmark to Indonesia – and thousands more who support the movement.
Shaykh Abdalqadir as-Sufi, as he is now known, believes the Islam world will conquer the "Jewish dominated" West with an hardline interpretation of Islamic law.
"(Israel) knows that without its massive defence subsidy from the USA it could not last one financial year," he states.
Abdalqadir's teachings range from the claim that movies and football "degrade the proletariat" to calls for Middle Eastern-style monarchical rule in Britain supported by a moral body of Muslims.
Now based in Cape Town, Abdalqadir, 79, claims Western governments stage terrorist acts to detract from the fact that capitalism has failed. He says both Richard Reid – the "shoe bomber" who tried to blow up a plane in 2001 – and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab – the man behind the attempted bombing of a plane bound for Detroit on Christmas Day – were both "planted" by the CIA.
"It is time for the enslaved billions of our world today to fear no more the exploding shoes and underpants of the idiot agents of capitalism and to learn what Islam really is," he states.
He says Britain is on "the edge of terminal decline and it is the "British Muslim population that alone can revitalise this ancient realm."

2001: Faisalabad : Research and Publication desk of jamia Qadria Rizwiyya, Faisalabad has issued recently a printed Fatwa against Ahmadis. Some excerpts:

Qadianis are hypocrites and apostates……….Meat slaughtered by them is not licit and lies in the forbidden degree……..If a Muslim sympathizes with Qadianis and considers them persecuted as a result of their boycott, he himself is outside the fold of Islam, and one who does not call an infidel, infidel, he himself is an infidel.

Thus, all Muslims should boycott Qadianis from all interactions of life and death. If a Qadiani is sick, do not visit him; if he dies, do not offer his funeral prayer; do not allow his burial in a Muslim graveyard- it is forbidden to visit his grave.

https://www.persecutionofahmadis.org/the-mulla-2002/

2002: Allama Qadri is good at public relations and poses with some success as an enlightened, progressive and even tolerant Muslim cleric. Other than the PAT, he heads the religious organization of Idara Minhaj-ul-Quran. It is in the latter that his true colours become apparent. Recently, the Idara (Lahore branch) issued an anti-Ahmadiyya leaflet wherein a Fatwa of the late Ahmad Raza Khan Brelvi is reproduced. It declares that “(Mirzais and their friends) are apostates and hypocrites……meat slaughtered by them is cadaverous, illicit and prohibited. Anyone who sympathizes with a Qadiani for his social boycott by Muslims, is himself outside the pale of Islam. And the one who does not call the infidel ‘an infidel’ is also an infidel. It is a binding duty on all Muslims that they should completely boycott all social interaction (with Qadianis) on all occasions of life and death. It is forbidden to inquire of (a Qadiani patient’s) health, to attend his funeral, to bury him in a Muslim graveyard and to visit his grave”.

It is a lengthy pamphlet that exhorts powerfully all Muslims to institute a complete social boycott of Ahmadis.

"GEO (April 17, 2006) Kamran Khan said that there were 100 mosques in Karachi which remained locked up by the authorities because the religious organisations were aggressively claiming them and there was fear of breach of law and order. Mufti Munib ur Rehman said that he had himself built a Barelvi mosque in a locality which was grabbed by others.
It was Sunni Tehreek that put forward the claim of the Barelvi community and began challenging the state to pull back the Deobandi-Ahle Hadith dominance. Sunni Tehreek began in 1990 its campaign to reclaim the mosques allegedly grabbed by the other state-supported organisations emanating from Deobandi Ahle Hadith madrassas. What followed was a kind of war with the Deobandis.
Clashes followed in Karachi and Hyderabad and some cities in Punjab, in which mostly Sunni Tehreek activists were killed and wounded. Sunni Tehreek boasted that it had liberated 62 mosques in 10 years from their wrongful occupiers. In 1992 it challenged the Karachi administration to help it take control of the Nur Mosque (which the rivals claimed had been built by Shabbir Ahmad Usmani, the great Deobandi leader, in 1948) and came into the limelight by getting dozens of its members arrested. When editor Syed Salahuddin of Takbeer weekly was critical of the Tehreek, it besieged his office. Later, the murder of Syed Salahuddin was blamed on the MQM. Three months later, it tried to "reoccupy" the Ibrahim Raza mosque in Burmi colony, resulting in widespread riots, forcing the government to seal the mosque."

Tahir Iqbal, who was born a Muslim, converted to Christianity. His conversion caused resentment among his neighbors and members of his family, including his stepmother. According to a neighbor, Iqbal was visited by a number of young Muslim men some time after his conversion who questioned him about his decision. After they left his house, they went to the maulvi of the local mosque, Maulvi Pirzada Ali Ahmad Sabir Chishti, and asked him to rebut Tahir Iqbal's statements. On December 7, 1990, the maulvi filed an FIR against Iqbal, accusing him of desecrating a copy of the Qur'an and speaking against the Holy Prophet....Tahir Iqbal had no legal representation for several months until a group of lawyers, including Naeem Shakir and Asma Jahangir of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, took the case. The lawyers reported receiving threats from colleagues of Maulvi Pirzada, some of whom also appeared at many of Iqbal's court hearings and attempted to intimidate the judge.....The complainant, Maulvi Pirzada, and others, filed a request on April 23, 1992, for Tahir Iqbal to be sentenced to death for converting to Christianity."

"Muhammad Mehboob (alias Booba) was accused of putting ishtihars on the main gate of his local mosque which were allegedly against the dignity of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and hence attracted the provision of the death penalty vide 295 C. He was convicted to capital punishment on investigation of a sub inspector, who said he acted “without any guidance.” The police took Booba’s testimony under extreme coercion. On appeal, it was found by the High Court that the state had not been able to establish the facts beyond all reasonable doubt. The FIR in this case was registered by a homeopath, who did not remember the institution that awarded him his degree and professed no knowledge of religion. (PLD 2002, Lahore 587)".

"September 9, 2002: MIANWALI, Sept 9: A ‘slip of tongue’ has proved too costly for a woman who has been languishing in jail for the last month. A non-government organization, South Asian Partnership, organized a seminar on the proposed constitutional amendments at the local Press Club on Aug 7. Speaking on the occasion, Kundian town councillor Rukhsana Bunyad, also a leader of Aurat Foundation, uttered ‘the constitution is more sacred than the Holy Quran.’ Hardly had the woman finished, a reporter of a national daily, Rana Muhammad Idrees, snubbed the lady and asked her to take back the words. In the heat of emotions, the woman retorted she had spoken the truth. Over this, Rana Idrees sent her out of the club and boycotted the function....The next morning’s newspapers carried the ‘blasphemy’ news and JUP Secretary-General, Piplan tehsil Naib Nazim Safdar Shah’s, statement who had formulated a death squad to kill the woman. Safdar Shah also got cancelled Rukhsana’s membership of the council. Two days later on Aug 9 (Friday), almost all the mosques in Mianwali proclaimed ‘the woman blasphemer.’ After a couple of days, a group of journalists requested the complainant to pardon the woman on humanitarian grounds. However, excuse was not the fortune of the woman."

October 5, 2003: "LAHORE: Police sealed Madni Masjid in Gulshan Colony on Thursday after a long-standing dispute between two Shia [sic!] sects over who should lead the prayers at the mosque boiled over into violence. Qari Inamul Haq of the Dev Bund sect was on his way to conduct Maghrib prayers in the mosque on Thursday when he was reportedly intercepted by a group of people from the Barelvi sect, who reportedly insisted that a Barelvi Muslim should lead the prayers. The loud argument attracted a large crowd and a fight eventually broke out, with men brandishing sticks and clubs attacking men of the other sect. A witness called the police, who surrounded the area and later sealed the mosque. Qari Inaamul Haq has been the imam of the mosque for several years. The dispute in Gulshan Colony dates back from 1998, when a Barelvi cleric, Qari Muneer, claimed that the area had a Barelvi majority and hence he should be the imam of the mosque, Gulshan Colony residents told Daily Times. Dev-Bund leaders rejected the contention, and as the controversy intensified, the neighbourhood was divided among sectarian lines."

"Sep 14, 2004: LAHORE: The son of Jamaatud Dawa leader Maulana Ibrahim Salfi, who was gunned down by unidentified assailants on Sunday, has identified suspects to the police who have taken them into custody and started interrogating them.
Salfi's son Hafiz Abdul Majid said the killers were of the Barelvi sect, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) for Investigation Shafqat Ahmad told Daily Times. He said the investigation showed that a single assassin was involved in Salfi's murder. The SSP said the killing was well planned.
In 1992, a man from the Barelvi sect shot Salfi and five times, but he survived and later forgave the accused, SSP Ahmad said. He said the fact that the assailant had been alone in both cases was the only thing in common between them. However, this time the assailant was a trained killer whereas previously the attacker was not.
The SSP said Mr Majid was the first person to reach the scene of the crime after hearing shots. He found his father on the floor with a pistol lying beside him. He also saw a man escaping on a motorcycle and fired at him with the pistol, but the killer escaped.
Another of Salfi's sons, Hafiz Abdul Khaliq, was killed in Kashmir two years ago.
The SSP said two investigation teams looking at sectarian killing, terrorism or a personal vendetta as possible motives and the police would arrest the accused very soon.
Sources said there had been several clashes between people of the two sects after speeches were made against each other at two mosques in the area. Police had to intervene and seal the two mosques."

"LAHORE: Police has arrested two people for killing Dr Ghulam Murtaza Malik and Professor Attaur Rehman Saqib, a senior police official said on Monday.
Muhammad Farooq and Muhammad Arshad from Sunni Tehrik had confessed many crimes including killing Dr Ghulam Murtaza Malik, Prof Attaur Rehman Saqib and his driver, Shia leader Syed Hassan Raza, and a constable named Maqbool Ahmed, Chaudhry Shafqaat Ahmed, senior superintendent of police (SSP), told reporters.
Dr Malik and Prof Saqib, both respected Sunni scholars, were gunned down in Lahore in 2002, while Raza, a Shia leader from the Khaima-e-Sadaat party, was murdered in 2001, he said.
The SSP said the two had also confessed that they had committed 10 robberies in Lahore. He said the police arrested Farooq and Arshad during a special raid. The SSP said that Shahbaz Jalali was also a part of the gang, who was electrocuted in Ichhra a few months ago. Farooq and Arshad told reporters that they were brainwashed by a certain Dr Shahid that Dr Malik and Prof Saqib were 'blasphemers'. "We did not intend to kill Raza but he caught Jalali when our motorcycle hit his daughter accidentally. Jalali had no choice but to fire at Raza, killing him instantly," Farooq said."

"The arrested dacoits admitted that Dr Hafeez Shahid of Pattoki, a leader of Sunni Tehreek, had told them to kill two religious scholars because they were ‘insulters’ of the Prophet (peace be upon him). They lured a rather greedy Dr Malik out of his house on the promise that they would gift a piece of land to him and shot him dead on a deserted road. They also killed another religious scholar Prof Ataur Rehman Saqib the same year for the same ‘offence’. Both the killers turned out to be high-school dropouts who found killing and stealing an easier way of life. Their conscience was put at rest by the realisation that they were also killing in the name of Islam — in this case to protect the divine reputation of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). The man who put them up to it, Dr Hafeez Shahid, ran a religious party called Sunni Tehreek. When it hounded non-Muslims in Gujranwala [the case of Salamat Masih in 1993], using the Blasphemy Law, it was eulogised and the government did nothing against it. But then its religious leader thought that because some fellow-ulema were not toeing his line he could get rid of them through hired killers. Now the police is looking for Dr Shahid. He may have killed many more whose deaths we have been blaming on India and the United States. The truth however is quite unsavoury as it gradually comes to light. Murtaza Malik was a rich man because of contacts with the GHQ where an Islamist general who has recently retired patronised him. So big was the sale of his books to the army that he had reportedly started up his own paper-making factory. Malik was PTV's most patronised cleric because of the GHQ connection. Now his son Bilal is on PTV and has his father's distinctive style"

"Feeling hemmed in by Deobandi and Wahhabi hegemony, the Barelvi backlash took the form of the Sunni Tehreek — a militant movement that surfaced in 1992 for protecting Barelvi mosques and interests against the onslaught of the Deobandi SSP and the Wahhabi Lashkar e Tayba. Sunni Tehreek's founder, Saeed Qadri was murdered along with five of his colleagues in May 2001, but there seemed no let up in the Barelvi turn to militancy. Indeed, the largest Barelvi religio-political party, the Jamiat e Ulema e Pakistan (JUP) ended up doing what its more radical rivals had desisted from: JUP's secretary general Sheikh Mir Hamza put down his signatures on Osama bin Laden's fatwa of February 23, 1998, calling on Muslims to kill Americans and their allies "everywhere". Sheikh Hamza, then, became the only religious leader of Pakistan who co-sponsored a fatwa, with Osama bin Laden of Al Qaeda and Amyn al Zawahiri of the Jihad group in Egypt, that virtually declares a civilisational war on Christians and Jews."

He said, "We have first called for a decree from local Sunni scholars and then the consensus will be made on a national basis to declare Aga Khanis, like the Ahmadis, non-Muslim. After that, no school considering them non-Muslim will join the Aga Khan Board (AKB)."

One of the leading proponents of this move, Dr Mufti Sarfaraz Naeemi, principal of Jamia Naemia seminary in Lahore, has told this newspaper that the Aga Khanis need to be declared kafirs (non-Muslim) and once that is achieved, "no school, considering them non-Muslim, will join the Aga Khan [University Examination] Board"."

May 17, 2005:  "Leading Islamic scholars in Pakistan have issued a decree against suicide attacks, describing them as forbidden if carried out in a Muslim country. The decree has been authorised by 58 religious leaders, representing all schools of Islamic thought in Pakistan including the minority Shia community.

The move is an attempt to stop suicide bombers carrying out attacks on places of worship in Pakistan.
But the decree does not apply to bombings in Kashmir or Palestine.
Leading Islamic scholar Mufti Munib-ur-Rehman told the BBC the decree had been issued because attacks on places of worship in Pakistan have been blamed on suicide bombers in recent years.

......However, the head of a well-known seminary for mainstream Sunni Muslims in Lahore, Sarfraz Naeemi refused to sign the decree.
He says it is a government-sponsored move which could be used by the United States to justify its propaganda against suicide attacks.
"There is a need to issue a decree against the Americans who have been slaughtering Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan, so I have serious reservations about the present move," Mr Naeemi said in an interview with the BBC."

Sangla Hill Riots (Nov 2005)

http://www.dawn.com/news/165357/mob-torches-3-churches-near-nankana

12 Nov 2005: "It is alleged that on Friday one Yousaf Masih threw a burning matchstick in the Quran Mahal situated in the Sangla Hill stadium which caught fire. This resulted in some copies of the Holy Quran being burnt to ashes. Students of a seminary run by Anjuman Melad-i-Mustfa and staff of a dispensary adjacent to the Quran Mahal rushed to the spot and saved the remaining copies of the holy book, newspapers and other material. Ten hours after the incident, announcements were made from mosques asking people to gather in front of the Jamia Madni Masjid of the town. Similar announcement were also made after Fajr prayers on Saturday. People were asked to observe a complete strike and not to send children to schools. Responding to the call, a strong mob carrying hockey sticks, iron rods, and axes assembled at the appointed place. Eyewitnesses said some youths also carried tins of kerosene oil. Religious leaders made fiery speeches and allegedly provoked the mob to set to fire each and every place of worship of the minority community. Obeying the orders, the protesters rushed to Presbyterian Church of Pakistan situated on the Faisalabad Road and set it to fire. All the furniture, fixture, articles, and religious books were consumed by the blaze. The mob also burnt the residence of Pastor Tajamal Perveiz. The enraged youth then went to the Church of Holy Spirit in the Mancher Colony and vandalized it as well as the residence of Father Semson Dilawar. They also caused severe damage to the Saint Anthony High School, destroying its furniture, record, laboratories and library. Some 650 girls receive education at the school, majority of them Muslim."

28 Nov 2005: Whatever the truth, news of the alleged desecration spread rapidly. Hours later, after Friday prayers, Sangla Hill's Muslim clerics issued denunciations over their mosque loudspeakers. "They said: 'Come out from your houses for the protection of the Qur'an and your religion'," recalled Fr Dilawar. The next morning a large mob, estimated at between 1,500 and 3,000, brandishing sticks, hammers and fuel. They appeared to be carefully organised. Many came from surrounding towns, witnesses said. Some wore green turbans of the type favoured by Islamists."

1 Dec 2005: We told the judge that we heard Maulvi Zulfiqar incite people against Christians in the Markazi Jamia Rizvia Mosque," he said.
"He told people to meet near the Madni Palace, which belongs to Malik Azam," a nazim (leader) in the local council."
On Saturday November 12, a mob of some 2,000 people spurred on by their religious leaders marched on the village of Sangla Hill. They first destroyed then torched three Christian churches, a convent, two Catholic schools, the home of a Protestant clergyman and that of a Catholic priest, a hostel for girls and the homes of a few Christians.
....
By contrast, Maulana Sarfraz Naeemi, secretary general of a Muslim organisation called Tanzimat Madaris Diniya, has accused local authorities of paying scant attention to the desecration of the Qu'ran. He is threatening to organise a march to free the 88 Muslims rounded up on "false charges" of having destroyed Christian churches. Instead, Naeemi's group has accused Christians of setting fire to the buildings themselves.

5 Dec 2005: On December 2, the leaders of some Islamic religious groups gathered at the Jamia Masjid Rizvia (mosque) for Friday prayers reaffirmed their condemnation of Yousaf Masih, a Christian man they say is guilty of desecrating the Qu’ran, and called for him to be publicly hanged. The outrage he is alleged to have committed provoked attacks on November 12 against churches and the property of Christians in Sangla Hill.  Those gathered for Friday prayers called on the police to unconditionally release the 88 Muslims detained in relation to the violence in the village.  Among the leaders who spoke at the gathering, there were Pir Mohammad Afzal Qadiri Markazi Ameer Alam-e-Tanzeem Alah-e-Sunnat, Shahibzada Mohammad Zia Marzaki Nazim-e-Ala Alah-e- Sunnat Shahibzada Haji Fazal Kareem, Mohammad Yousaf Qadiri Zil-e-Nazim (district administrator in Hafizabad), Pir Mohammad Lateef Zil-e-Amer Alah-e- Sunnat Sheikhpura, Mohammad Yaqoop Zil-e-Ameer Faislabad, and Sheikh Mohammad Saleem Minhaj-ul-Quran.  They urged Muslims to unite for the honour and integrity of Islam, and eliminate Christians.

"The archbishop's letter expressed concern at recent press statements by the Majlis-e-Khatam-e-Nabuvat and Madrassa Naeemia, Lahore, which gave the impression that the destruction of churches and Christian property was a concocted story. The letter added that judicial inquiry into the incident had yet to complete but these Muslim organisations were endorsing the accusation of desecration of Holy Quran by Yousaf Masih. ... On the other hand, the National Commission for Justice and Peace (NCJP), a missionary organisation monitoring the situation in Sangla Hill, said that Islamic groups gathered about 3,000 Muslims for Friday prayers at Jamia Masjid Rizvia, Main Market, Sangla Hill, on December 2. The gathering was addressed by Pir Muhammad Afzal Qadiri, central ameer Alam-e-Tanzeem Alah-e-Sunnat, Shahibzada Muhammad Zia, central nazim-e-ala Alah-e-Sunnat, MNA Shahibzada Haji Fazal Kareem and Hafizabad District Administrator Muhammad Yousaf Qadiri. The NCJP said that the religious leaders demanded the unconditional release of 88 Muslims detained for their alleged involvement in the November 12 incident and a public execution for alleged desecrator Yousaf Masih. In another development, Sessions Judge Sheikh Muhammad Yousaf has completed the judicial inquiry of the incident and will submit his report to the Punjab Home Department soon."

After the incident, Dr Sarfraz Naeemi, secretary of Tanzimat Madaris-e-Deeniya said the Christian clergy had set the churches on fire after the alleged desecration, ‘like they did in Shantinagar’ (a Christian majority village that was burnt by Muslims because of an alleged desecration of the Holy Quran).

Daily Pakistan (November 25, 2005) reported that Maulana Dr Sarfraz Naeemi, secretary general of Tanzimat Madaris Dinia, had declared that the government had paid scant attention to the desecration of the Quran but was rounding up 88 Muslim citizens of Sangla Hill on false charges of destroying the Christian churches. He declared that the Christian clergy had set the churches on fire after the desecration incident and should be put behind bars and not allowed to leave the country. He warned that he was taking a procession to Sangla Hill to get the Muslims released from jail. He protested against religion minister Ijaz ul Haq's statement that the Muslims had destroyed the churches. He said that the Quran library was burnt by the Christian clergy with the help of a special incendiary powder first used by Christians in Shantinagar in 1997.
Jamia Naeemiya has embraced extreme views in the past and Dr Naeemi has now made it his plank for the sake of madrassa leadership. The Barelvis have been in a state of eclipse because of Deobandi jihad. Their hardening should be a matter of concern.

Dec 6, 2005: "According to the latest information we have received, on 2 December 2005, Islamic Religious groups gathered about three thousand Muslims for their Friday prayer at Jamia Masjid Rizvia, Main Market in Sangla Hill. A number of Islamic scholars, including Pir Mohammad Afzal Qadiri Markazi addressed that gathering. The speakers slated Yousaf Masih, the Christian who is under arrest regarding the allegations of desecrating of the Quran, and passed a resolution demanding that the man be sentenced to death. They called upon Muslims to unite against the Christian community. They demanded the unconditional release of the 88 detained Muslims who allegedly took part in the attack on churches and Christian properties on November 12. 
...

We have also received reports that on December 9, the Central Head (Ameer) of International Ahle-Sunnah Organization Pir Mohammed Afzal Qadri announced a countrywide protest against the desecration of the Holy Quran at Sangla Hill. He also directly threatened the Christian community forcing them to remain in their houses out of fear. "

"September 13, 2005: On September 9, 2005, a huge gathering of people living in Amar Sadhu were listening to the weekly Thursday event of qawalis organized by Baba Chabba. "Baba Chabba is a well known person here. He has a huge following and is like a pir," explains Parveen. In the middle of the qawali, Younis got up to ask Baba Chabba if he knew who Punjtan Pak (the term denotes the Prophet's two grandchildren, his son-in-law and daughter Hazrat Fatima) were. "Baba Chabba and some of his followers became angry and a fight started," relates Parveen. The next evening an FIR was lodged against Younis Masih by Hafiz Abdul Aziz, Baba Chabba's friend, under Section 295(c)."

"September 20, 2005: LAHORE: Difa-e-Islam Mahaz (Front for Islam's defence), an alliance of 22 Sunni religious organisations, demanded that alleged blasphemer Younis Masih be given the death sentence. Dozens of Mahaz activists and Kainchi Amer Sidhu residents staged a peaceful demonstration outside the Lahore Press Club on Monday and displayed placards with slogans 'Hang the blasphemer', 'Blasphemer of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) must be hanged immediately' and 'We are ready to sacrifice everything for the defence and protection of the Holy Prophet's (PBUH) dignity'.
Mahaz speakers opposed the recent amendment made in the Criminal Procedural Code of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) that a superintendent of police must investigate the blasphemy case before lodging the first information report. They declared the amendment "anti-Islamic" and demanded the restoration of the original procedure for registering blasphemy cases"

"About 70 members of a group singing qawwali, devotional music with rhythmic clapping, attacked Younis on Sept. 9, 2005, after he was accused of making derogatory remarks about Prophet Muhammad. About 26 men grabbed him from a billiards club the next day, physically abused him and his wife, threw bricks at his house and later set it on fire. Several of the 50 local Christian families later fled the area.
"The police, in turn, registered a blasphemy case against me when I went to register the First Information Report (FIR) about the assault," he told UCA News. He said a large mob, armed with sticks, gathered at the police station while he was there and refused to leave until an FIR was lodged against him. Section 295-B of the Pakistan Criminal Code punishes those convicted of insulting the Qur´an with life imprisonment, and Section 295-C stipulates death for insulting Prophet Muhammad. Younis was jailed.
Difa-e-Islam Mahaz (front for the defense of Islam), an alliance of 22 Sunni religious organizations, organized a large demonstration at the Lahore Press Club, where they called for him to be hanged. They vowed to continue their struggle until Younis was sentenced to death.
In 2006, Younis was attacked as he was going for a court hearing."

"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."

"Talking to Geo TV (April 17, 2006) Mufti Munib ur Rehman — the Barelvi cleric who heads our moon-sighting committee for Eid days and who was once roughed up by Deobandi ulema on the committee on difference of faith — stated that hundreds of mosques in the city were disputed between sects, and there had been violent confrontation over them in many cases. This was no Shia-Sunni conflict but a Sunni-Sunni one between Barelvis and Deobandis. According to the TV host, a hundred disputed mosques in Karachi had been locked up by the administration because opening them would immediately lead to violence. The modus operandi for "repossessing" a mosque is never legal; the stronger party assaults the mosque and takes over. The Sunni Tehreek whose leaders were killed on April 11 was created in 1990 to "repossess" the commercially profitable mosques grabbed by "others"."

"GEO (April 12, 2006) Kamran Khan stated that the killing of the Barelvi leaders of Sunni Tehreek in Karachi on Eid Miladun Nabi was a Barelvi-Deobandi conflict which reminded him of such a war between Mufti Shakir and Pir Saif ur Rehman in Khyber Agency in which many people had died. He said Karachi had seen wall-chalkings against Deobandi Mufti Shakir with counter-chalkings from the other side of the conflict.
The Mufti Shakir-Pir Saif ur Rehman war in Bara had its repercussions not only in Karachi but all over Punjab too. When statements started appearing in the Urdu press from Barelvis of Lahore and Multan, the citizens were at a loss about the conflict they were pointing to. In Karachi the wall-chalkings must have puzzled everyone equally, but they foreshadowed the massacre of Nishtar Park. It was Mufti Shakir's (and his backers') revenge for his ouster from Bara in the face of an "alien" like Pir Saif ur Rehman. Mufti Shakir had killed earlier in Hangu, but he was at least "ours".
Altaf Hussain of MQM referred to Hangu in his first statement on the Nishtar Park bombing. The truth is that Deobandis target three communities: Qadianis, Shias and Barelvis. Ahle Hadith lend a hand in the anti-Barelvi jihad. Sunni Tehreek, which has been decimated, tried to get the Barelvi mosques back from the Deobandi-Ahle Hadith combine put together by the ISI. Since the recovery was outside the pale of law and often violent, it gave rise to the war we are seeing now."

March 13, 2006: "Pir Bherchondi Sharif urged all Muslim rulers of the world to demonstrate their commitment with the Holy Prophet (PBUH) by severing diplomatic relations with all the countries patronizing blasphemers. Prof Shah Faridul Haq said that opponents of the anti-blasphemy movement did not deserve to be called human beings. He said that it was Europe which was responsible for the clash of civilizations. “No one now is in a position to stop the clash.” Syed Irfan Shah Mashhadi warned that if rights of 1.4 billion Muslims were not recognized, then the entire world would have to face the consequences of the clash of civilizations. Sahibzada Abul Khair Mohammad Zubair said the government had, on the floor of the National Assembly, declared blasphemy as a ‘common issue’, but stood with blasphemers when the situation demanded action. Mohammad Abbas Qadri asked the Punjab government to impose a ban on the originally Hindu festival ‘Basant’ instead of banning the Namoos-i-Risalat movement. Pir Attiqur Rehman Faizpuri described all those involved in an act of blasphemy as ‘terrorists’."

"ARY (12 April 2006) reported that after the Eid Milad massacre people spread out into the city of Karachi and started burning vehicles. Abdus Sattar Edhi stated that he had deployed 100 ambulances and 300 personnel, but the people had attacked them. Eight ambulances were destroyed while the dead bodies were still inside them. At Liaquat Hospital the crowd attacked the staff as a result of which doctors, nurses and the other staff ran away and the wounded were not treated on time.

Indus Plus (12 April 2006) discussed the fact that Sunni Tehreek hoodlums went to one of the four hospitals in Karachi and beat up the photographers because taking photos was against Islam. This caused a lot of difficulty because the people of Karachi could not identify their wounded relatives without going and searching for them in hospitals personally. Earlier at Dawat Islami women's gathering at Faizan Madina mosque women died after a stampede and the medical teams were not allowed to get in because of hijab. Many died because medical aid was thus delayed.
Sunni Tehreek is militant and will give as hard as it gets from the Deobandi militants. But the clergy has very little control over their boys. There is a steady criminalisation of the city's youth under religious leaders who now need to have street muscle. The above irrational behaviour is owed to religion's harnessing to violence and sheer outlawry. It is nihilistic as it hurts even those who support violence in the name of Islam."

Munib ur Rehman replied that such a person would be given death sentence. He said Islam used no coercion in religious matters but it meant that there was no compulsion to embrace Islam, but there was no freedom to exit Islam. Such a man would be murtad and be given death unless he did tauba. A woman did not have to be killed she would be allowed to die in jail."

The fire attracted neighbours, including people from the rival sect, who propagated that Javed was burning pages from Quran. Within no time a huge mob turned up at the scene and attacked Javed. When Ahl-e-Hadith’s local leader Master Muhammad Sadiq came to his rescue, he was also beaten up severely. The assailants left the scene when the two fell unconscious....Meanwhile, it was learnt that a case under the Blasphemy Act had been registered against deceased Hafiz Qamar Javed and injured Muhammad Sadiq while no case was registered against the assailants."

....... Mirza Javed, a member of mosque’s managing committee, told Dawn that the violent activities started after Salim Abbas Naqshbandi of the Sunni Tehrik delivered a provocative speech before Juma. “Salim Naqshbandi had come to us three days ago and he had demanded demolition of the boundary wall. But, we showed him all the documents which he said were bogus,” he added.
...... The councillor said the protestors targeted the properties of the Shiites. “They set on fire the decoration pieces at the marriage lawn and a cabin, owned by Ali Mohammed,” he added.
Imtiaz Alam said arrangements were being made for a wedding ceremony scheduled at the marriage lawn for Friday evening when the protestors attacked it.
He also claimed that the houses of some people were stoned in the neighbourhood. “The protesters also misbehaved with children and womenfolk in certain lanes of the vicinity,” he added.
However, the protesters claimed that the land belonged to the adjacent Government Boys Asif School and the mosque caretakers had erected the walls illegally."

"April 10, 2007: KARACHI: Mufti Muhammad Yousaf Kasuri, chief of the Markazi Jamiat Ahle Hadith in Sindh and a leader of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, was arrested on Monday under the Blasphemy Act. He was then transferred to an unknown location. However, his arrest has not been recorded officially. Late on Sunday night, Kasuri was addressing a gathering at the Jamia Masjid Ahle Hadith in Tunisia Lines, Lines Area, within the precincts of the Brigade Police Station. During the sermon, Kasuri reportedly used some derogatory terms for Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). His sermon was heard in the surrounding areas through the mosque's loudspeakers. Most of the residents in the area belong to the Ahle Sunnat Barelvi sect. On hearing Kasuri's words, everyone in the vicinity was enraged. Hundreds of people got out of their houses and surrounded the mosque. The police and local leaders of Sunni Tehreek (ST), Jamaat Ahle Sunnat (JAS), Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan (JUP) and Dawaat-e-Islami (DI) also arrived at the spot. They spoke with the mob gathered outside the mosque, and assured them that they would take legal action against Kasuri. They said that the police had said that the rule of law would be followed, and requested people not to take the law into their own hands. Their timely entry probably saved Kasuri's life, or the mob would have lynched him."

"April 11, 2007: KARACHI: One man died and three others were injured when Sunni Tehreek (ST) workers tried to take over the Jamia Masjid Ahle Hadith in Tunisia Lines on Tuesday.
According to reports, ST workers from the nearby Faizan-e-Aulia mosque surrounded Jamia Masjid and fired at those inside. Gunfire was returned from within the mosque. During this time, a mob set a police mobile on fire. Police personnel from nearby towns, including Jamshed, Saddar and Clifton, were called in and the area was cordoned off.
One man identified as 24-year-old Shahzad of the Ahle Hadith was shot in the chest and had to be taken to the JPMC. "Isha prayers were being offered when they attacked us," said Yousaf Salfi, chief organiser of the Jamiat Ahle Hadith. "The mob had ST people in it. We closed the gate of the mosque but they fired at it. This continued for one-and-a-half hours. People are stuck inside and the police has left the area and run off."

"April 21, 2007: Banners displayed by the Sunni Tehrik, Anjuman Naujwanan-e-Islam and Anjuman Tahfuz-e-Naujwanan-e-Ahl-e-Sunnah violate the government's recent campaign against hate material with such slogans as "Qadiyanion ka ilaj, aljihad aljihad" (Jihad is the way to tackle Qadiyanis) and "Kufar ka doosra naam Qadiyani" (Qadiyani is anther name for infidelity). Other banners urge people to save Lahore from "Qadiyani conspiracy" and warn people that Handu Gujjar was being made "another Rabwah"..... The community had bought six acres of land in the outskirts of Lahore to extend an existing cemetery, but local clerics – allegedly from Sunni Tehrik and Tehrik-e-Tahafaz-e-Naomoos-e-Risalat – began to provoke the residents of the locality to oppose the construction of a boundary wall on the land.. Extremists have threatened to demolish this boundary wall calling it an attempt to create a "mini-Rabwah".

"April 26, 2007: LAHORE: Clerics will step forward to stop Ahmadis from fencing their graveyard in Wagah Town if the government surrenders, said Dr Sarfaraz Ahmed Naeemi, the head of Jamia Naeemia and the chairman of what he calls the Difa-e-Islam Mahaz (Protection of Islam Front).
The Ahamdiyya community has meanwhile begun consulting lawyers on the issue and say they would defend their rights. Naeemi, who has been accused of a hate campaign against Ahmadis, said if the government would "close their eyes to such sensitive issues", clerics would mobilise people against them. Talking to Daily Times on the issue of the fencing of the Ahmadi graveyard in Handu Gujjar, Dr Naeemi said he had reports that the Ahmadiyya Community wanted to set up a "mini-headquarters" near the India-Pakistan border, which he said was unacceptable. Clerics would not have opposed the fencing if it were just a graveyard, he said."

May 6, 2007: In the most recent incident, police in Lahore on April 22 supervised the illegal demolition of the boundary wall of an Ahmadi-owned graveyard. Two extremist Islamist groups, Sunni Tehrik and Tehrik-e-Tahafaz-e-Naomoos-e-Risalat, had put pressure on the provincial authorities over the building of the wall on the grounds that Ahmadis might try to establish a center of “apostasy” within the enclosed walls. Leaders of the two groups had also threatened to kill Ahmadis if the police did not intervene on their behalf.

"Dr Naeemi expressed his anti-Ahmadi sentiments openly. He strongly favoured the controversial blasphemy laws. In 2000, when Musharraf tried to amend 295-C regarding the process of investigation of the accused in a blasphemy case, he was among the first to oppose it. He was the brain behind the formation of Tahaffuz-e-Namoos-e-Risalat Mahaz (TNRM) 2001, a group of over 20 Sunni parties, and started protests throughout the country.

Dr Naeemi spearheaded the protest against the Danish cartoons. He led the Namoos-e-Risalat rally in Lahore on February 14, 2006, that turned into a violent protest in which at least two people were killed. The angry protestors destroyed hundreds of shops, restaurants and banks in Lahore. Naeemi was arrested for his involvement in this rally and also removed from his position as a Khateeb in Auqaf Department. Like other religious leaders, he opposed Musharraf's decision to provide logistic support to US-led coalition in the war on terror."

20 August 2007: Daily times found that the Sikhs' religious symbols had been removed from the temple and Islamic slogans of 'Ya Allah' and 'Ya Rehmatul Alimeen' had replaced them. A plaque giving details of the pir's identity had also been put up on one of the walls.
Daily Times learnt that the hooligans 'took over' the temple after its former guard dreamt that Pir Shah Kaku had urged him to keep the Sikhs away from the temple. ETPB removed the guard after he disclosed his dream to officials.
The Sikhs said they had written to ETPB on July 8 for the restoration of the temple to them and that the officials told them they would act on the application within a month. However, the Sikhs said the evacuee property board did not do anything in this regard.
The hooligans told Daily Times that they had decided not to vacate the temple. They said the entry of Sikhs was prohibited and that ETPB had locked the doors. "The doors are locked throughout the week and are opened only on Thursdays when we pray," they added.
Sohail Butt, leader of the 'occupants' belonging to the Dawat-e-Islami, told Daily Times that it was their tradition to enter the temple and pay homage to Pir Shah Kaku. He claimed that Pir Shah Kaku was the grandson of Baba Farid Ganj Shakar, mentor of Mian Mir. He also said Pir Shah Kaku died in 1477 and a plaque had been put up on a wall inside the temple stating this fact. He said the saint's devotees wanted to pay tribute to him every day and that they had written to the ETPB to give them permission to do so."

Oct 8, 2007: "LAHORE: The city's Brelvi clerics have expressed concern over the renaming of Scotch Corner Main Road-IV after Maulana Hassan Jan, a Peshawar-based Deobandi cleric.
Led by Jamia Naeemia chief Mufti Sarfaraz Naeemi, the clerics have also protested outside Mian Mir's shrine for the past few days, demanding the road be renamed Hazrat Mian Mir. Mian Mir was a saint belonging to the Brelvi school of thought.
They also claim that the piece of land where a mosque named Maulana Hassan Jan is being constructed was actually allotted for Mian Mir's shrine and therefore there was no room for Deobandi names in the area. Brelvi clerics have reportedly written to Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi, asking him to overturn his decision and rename the road and mosque after Hazrat Mian Mir. The group has also warned the CM of consequences if he does not meet their demands. The clerics have alleged that the CM belongs to the Deobandi school of thought and that is why he is promoting the school."

"Dec 07, 2007 KARACHI: Man killed as groups clash over mosque —
"A dispute between two groups over the possession of a mosque near the Jama Cloth Market on Thursday led to a cycle of violence which injured around six people, including a woman, and forced traders to shut down one of the city’s busiest commercial areas. A prayer leader, Mohammad Ismail, was injured and succumbed to his injuries in a related attack. ....
A few hours after the incident, the Pesh Imam of Tayyaba Masjid on Chand Bibi road was attacked by armed motorcyclists. Forty-year Mohammad Ismail was standing outside the mosque with area people after Asr prayers when he was attacked.
The victim was the prayer leader in the mosque for the last few years, which belonged to the Deobandi school of thought and was situated a few kilometres away from the point of the first clash.
“We are suspecting the same reason (sectarian clash) behind the attack on the prayer leader”, SP Naveed said. “Actually, the Sunni Tehreek people had closed all options of dialogue to resolve the issue, forcing the police to take action”, he added."

April 14, 2008: "Allama Muhammad Abbas Rizvi, a Shia scholar, said that the exact definition of blasphemy varied from sect to sect. He was of the opinion that there was no concept of imprisonment in Islam, adding that a person who was found guilty of blasphemy had become an apostate. He said the least punishment for apostasy was the death sentence.
Rizvi said that the law was applicable to all, including people of other religions, as long as they resided in an Islamic state. Referring to people misusing the law, he said that modern methods of establishing evidence should be used wherever possible.
Similarly, Mufti Sarfaraz Naeemi, a Sunni scholar, said that Section 295-C -- which refers to the use of derogatory remarks in respect of the holy Prophet (PBUH) -- had been inducted into Pakistan's legal system with great effort. He said that the law was in complete accordance with Sharia and anyone convicted of blasphemy against the prophet or holy book of any religion should be awarded the maximum punishment. "We want such laws to exist at the international level so that anyone who commits blasphemy can be given the harshest punishment," he added."

"May 20, 2008: Hafizabad: Pakistani police have jailed a Christian doctor after “blasphemy” charges incited a mob attack on his home last week in Punjab province. Officials said Dr. Robin Sardar is being held in Punjab’s Gujranwala Central Jail. His wife and six children have left their home in the town of Chak Chatta, 200 miles southeast of Islamabad.

“This is the house of a blasphemer,” reads a sign on the gates of Sardar’s now empty home where a crowd of angry villagers gathered on May 5, Union of Catholic Asia News (UCAN) reported. The group bore sticks and kerosene and chanted death threats against the doctor, family members told Sharing Life Ministries Pakistan (SLMP), a Christian prison ministry.

“A huge number of Muslims wearing green turbans surrounded our house, most of them armed with weapons and wooden sticks,” Sardar’s wife told SLMP. “They were shouting ‘The punishment of the blasphemer is death.’” She said that police arrived at the house after several hours and used a ladder to climb the property wall and transport Sardar to safety. District Coordination Officer Ibrar Mirza confirmed that police had rescued Sardar from an angry mob."

"Shamaoun further stated that a mob of over 200 Muslims wearing green turbans, a symbol of their Islamic orthodoxy, attacked the doctor's house and medical clinic after the FIR had been registered against him (Sardar's residence and clinic are in the same building). The mob was holding sticks, guns and kerosene oil, and proceeded to force their way into the house, smashing windows and furniture throughout the house and clinic. The mob then turned on Sardar and his family."

"After the complainants' report to the police, a mob of about 200 Muslims gathered from neighbouring houses after it was announced publicly from the mosque mike that Dr. Sarder blasphemed Prophet Mohammad. These Muslims, wearing green turbans, a symbol of their Islamic orthodoxy, forced their way into the house and clinic of Dr. Sarder and smashed doors, windows and furniture. The mob, armed with guns, sticks and kerosene oil, put up a sign on the gate of the house, saying: "This is the house of a blasphamer." When they were about to attack on the persons of the doctor and members of his family, the police arrived and rescued them.

Khalid Naqash (July 2008)

http://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/hrcouncil/docs/16session/A.HRC.16.53.Add.1_EFonly.pdf
"According to the information received, a blasphemy case was registered under section 295-C of the Pakistani Penal Code on 3 July 2008 (FIR no. 270/2008) at the police station in Saddar Jhelum against Mr. Khalid Mehmood Naqash, who authored a book entitled “Quran aur Hum”, and Mr. Muhammad Afzal, who wrote the preface of the book. They were arrested and detained in district jail of Jhelum on charges that the publication contained blasphemous content about Prophet Muhammad. .... During the proceedings at Session Court Rawalpindi, Mr. Zafar Iqbal acted as a witness for the defense. On 4 April 2010, around 11:00 a.m., two gunshots were fired by a veiled person in the direction of Mr. Iqbal’s house in Mohallah Suleman Paris. On 5 April 2010, around 3:30 p.m., another four gunshots were fired at his house by two unidentified persons. On 8 April 2010, Mr. Zafar Iqbal tried to register a First Information Report with the District Police Officer of Jhelum, however, the police reportedly failed to do so or to provide protection to him and his family. A local religious leader, Mr. M. H. S. H. [Khalid Hussein Kazmi], issued a fatwa on 11 April 2010, entitled “Zafar Iqbal’s support for the person who degraded Holy Prophet (PBUH) and consequent verdict against him”. This so-called religious verdict against Zafar Iqbal states, inter alia, the following: “Khalid Naqash openly and repeatedly used blasphemous words. Babu Mohammed Afzal is accomplice, friend and supporter of Khalid Naqash. Consequently Zafar Iqbal automatically becomes accomplice of Khalid Naqash. If one is a staunch supporter of a blasphemous person, one turns blasphemous oneself. Hence, verdict is issued that Zafar Iqbal is an accomplice of Khalid Naqash and Babu Mohammad Afzal.” Furthermore, it has been alleged that Mr. M. H. S. H. sent instructions to his followers to kill Mr. Zafar Iqbal. Concerns have been expressed that the lives of Mr. Khalid Mehmood Naqash, Mr. Muhammad Afzal, Mr. Zafar Iqbal and their family members are under threat."

8 Jun 2009:  TOBA TEK SINGH, Pirmahal has been simmering with sectarian clashes since Sunday night when some religious zealots demolished the wall of a graveyard of Jamaat Ahmedia sect. The police have not taken any action against the attackers..... Jamaat Ahl-i-Sunnah leader Maulana Akbar Rizvi claimed that allotment of the land in the heart of the city to the sect was a conspiracy to create law and order and “religious youth” just became out of control and demolished the wall. He demanded the cancellation of the allotment, saying there was a fake grave in the graveyard.

9 Jun 2009: "It was outlined recently in an interview with Sarfraz Ahmed Naeemi, a respected Sunni cleric who set up an alliance of 22 Islamic groups and political parties last month with the explicit goal of opposing the Taleban......Halfway through the interview, however, he suddenly added that the Taleban was also being funded and trained by the CIA, Mossad, and India’s RAW intelligence agency. Why? As part of a strategy to carve out an independent statelet in northwestern Pakistan to help to contain China’s growing military and economic power. And to capture Pakistan’s nuclear weapons.

So America is now funding the Pakistani army and using CIA drones to attack militants who are in fact funded and armed by America? Yes. And what about the militants blamed for last year’s attack on Mumbai? They were Indian intelligence agents who staged the attack to give India an excuse to exact revenge by staging another attack — this time on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore. And why would India want to do that? So that Pakistan would not be able to co-host the 2011 cricket World Cup, of course. He went on to say that most of his fellow clerics felt the same way, and many included such theories in their sermons at Friday prayers."

https://themuslimworld.wordpress.com/2009/06/11/is-india-funding-the-taliban/
11 Jun 2009: "SPEAKERS at a Lahore convention demanded the Pakistan government to shun fighting US war and instead wage the war to save Pakistan from external and internal enemies by cutting off the Taliban’s supply line of funds from US, India, Israel, UAE and Saudi Arabia. Speaking at “Save Pakistan Convention” held under the aegis of Tahaffuz Namoos-e-Risalat Mahaz (TNRM) at Aiwan-e-Iqbal on Wednesday, they added that the government should have the present military operation achieve complete success as soon as possible."

17 Jun 2009: "Naeemi's son Raghib, 37, received a steady stream of mourners, from men in business suits to women in black veils. In an interview, he described his father as a humble, generous soul who loved to ride his motorbike and watch wrestling on television.

"My father was a religious man, but he believed in the writ of the state, he believed in the army, he believed in a stable Pakistan," the younger Naeemi said. "The Taliban only want to bring anarchy and disturbance. My father was against that, and he gave his life for his beliefs. Now it is my duty to carry on his mission."

A moment later, however, he veered into a diatribe against the American, Israeli and Indian intelligence services, accusing them of supporting the Taliban in order to destabilize Pakistan and seize control of its nuclear arsenal. It was an argument his father, who was once jailed for opposing Pakistani cooperation with the U.S. military, made as often as he condemned the Taliban."

"July 12, 2009: Kasur: As we visited the village on July 2, we found the walls of some of these houses and shops on the road leading to the village had slogans chalked on them. The chalkings were from before the present incident, urging Muslims not to hesitate sacrificing their lives for the dignity of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and bore the name of Sunni Tehreek...... "The angry protesters desecrated the small church of this underdeveloped Christian colony. They set ablaze and looted the Christians' houses. They beat our family members and tore the clothes of women. They did not even spare the animals," Babar Masih, a 27-year-old resident told TNS. "A local mosque's khateeb, Maulvi Latif -- associated with Sunni Tehrik and famous for his fiery speeches -- started instigating the Muslims to unite and "teach a lesson" to Christians," said Chaudhry Ahmed Ali Tolu, the Pakistan People's Party MPA, who decided to visit this village in his constituency after the incident while talking to TNS. "We are unfortunate to have people like Maulvi Latif here who runs an organisation named Tanzeem-e-Uqab in the village. He rallied this mob with the help of the village youth."

More than 100 agitators blocked Bhasarpura Road by placing burnt tyres and demanded that the police register a case under blasphemy law against their rivals who, they alleged, broke a marble slab inscribed with 'Darood Sharif' at the main gate of Gulzar-i-Medina Masjid at Ayub Town. Despite ban on use of mosque loudspeakers other than Azan and Khutba, announcements were made at the Jamia Masjid Farooquia, Masjid Saien Jalaldin, Madni Masjid and Jamia Masjid Gulzar-i-Medina to congregate the people against alleged blasphemy."

The Case of Hector Haleem (2009 onwards)

https://www.worldwatchmonitor.org/2009/02-February/1993/
"Last November, a scholar associated with the national Islamist political movement Sunni Tehreek received a text message claiming to have come from Aleem. The religious scholar registered blasphemy charges against Aleem on Nov. 28 at the Rawalpindi police station."
...
Aleem was transferred to a Rawalpindi anti-terrorism court for a second hearing on Jan. 30, where an even larger crowd of protestors gathered shouting that his life would not be spared. Many of those who came to protest were associated with Sunni Tehreek, which has been involved in violent sectarian clashes with other Islamist movements in the last decade.

“There were about 150 people protesting that Aleem should be handed over to them,” Tafik said. “And there were many journalists, two news stations, and lawyers who came out to protest against him.”

Hector Aleem, 51, remains in Adiyala Jail in Rawalpindi, near Pakistan’s capital of Islamabad. Judge Mustafa Tanveer dismissed his bail application at a court session on Thursday (April 30).
“If the judge does not punish Aleem according to the law, then [we] will kill him ourselves,” said Tariq Dhamal, an attorney for the unnamed complainant, according to a report by the Centre for Legal Aid Assistance and Settlement (CLAAS)."
...
Dhamal, the lawyer who allegedly made the death threat against Aleem, is a member of Sunni Tehreek, an Islamist political movement.

"A Church was destroyed and Christian worshipers were brutally tortured by the Capital Development Authority with the help of Federal Police in the area of Chak Shahzad Islamabad. Christians approached Hector Aleem (Human Rights Activist) for help. Aleem then started a peaceful struggle for the Church and to save the lives of innocent Christian worshipers who were arrested without any charge. CDA and Federal Government did not like this, the letters they wrote were just a formality. Action was not taken against the culprits who were involved in demolishing the Church. The officials who destroyed the Church were very influential and were supported by Sunni Tehreek which is a terrorist organization. To save those officials, Government of Pakistan filed a false blasphemy case against Mr. Hector Aleem. Other false cases were also filed against him so that he cannot raise his voice for Christians again. He spent 4 years in prison during which he was tortured in worst way possible. Prison officials told him to convert to Islam but he never left His Lord Jesus Christ."

"June 3, 2011: Judge Sarfraz Akhtar absolved Hector Haleem, Basharat Maseeh and Robin Maseeh from the charges of sending blasphemous text messages. The RA Bazaar police had registered a criminal case against unknown persons on the complaint of Ghufran Sialvi in March last year.

"Published on Jul 24, 2013
Hector Aleem Chairman of Peace Worldwide raised voice for this Church which was burnt and destroyed by the extremist organization known as Sunni Tehreek in Islamabad, Pakistan. After that the extremists (Sunni Tehreek) and Gillani Government threatened Hector Aleem to leave this issue but he did not give up. After that, the Sunni Tehreek attacked Hector Aleem and tried to kill him but they could not succeed. Then the Sunni Tehreek filed a false blasphemy (295-C) case on Hector Aleem, an offence which carries a death penalty in Pakistan. Then he was arrested and was tortured in a worst possible way. The Sunni Tehreek used the officers of Police and FIA to file cases on Hector Aleem (While he was in jail) so that he wont be able to get out of the jail. Some of the most corrupt officers of FIA who support the terrorist organization Sunni Tehreek are: Inspector Imam Baksh, Inspector Kausar Ali Shah, Inspector Chauhdary Kausar, Sub - Inspector Raja Wajid and Sub - Inspector Zia ul Hassan. The above mentioned officers took off the clothes of Hector Aleem and then tortured him. Two officers of CDA and WASA are also the members of terrorist Sunni Tehreek, their names are Captain Faiz and Director WASA Qamar Abdullah. And the worst of all, Assistant Sub Inspector Zafar Iqbal from Rawalpindi Police. That person is a member of Al-Qaeda and he was the one who was leading the raid to the house of Hector Aleem and while he was at the home of Hector Aleem, he was chanting "Long Live Al-Qaeda" and "Long Live Osama Bin Ladin".

4 Jan 2010: At the store an elderly Christian man known as Baba Sadiq asked Shumail Aleem why movie channels were not being shown on the store’s cable-fed TV.

“Shumail told him, ‘Are Muslims out of their minds? Why would they show movie channels on Ashura?’” Mansoor said.

The comment apparently supported Naveed’s decision to refrain from showing films on the Muslim holy day, but the shopkeeper began beating Shumail Aleem, demanding to know why he had profaned Hussein’s name, Mansoor said. Two weeks prior, Mansoor said, Naveed and his brothers had beaten a Christian boy so severely that when he bled a piece of flesh issued from his nostrils.

They were not alarmed, they said, assuming the young Muslim men were simply celebrating joyfully. “One of the green-turban-wearing Muslims peremptorily told us to recite the Islamic holy Kalima [profession of faith] or face direct bullets and the lethal consequences,” said Khushi Masih. Both Christians said that they joyfully refused, and instead they began reciting Psalm 91. “Our decision infuriated them,” Imran Masih said, “and instead of shooting into the air, they shot us, leaving us only after being convinced that we were dead.

Feb 27, 2010: "According to details, the students of a Deoband seminary Darul Ulloom Hamadia located in front of the house, asked them to refrain from playing the loudspeakers around midnight. On their refusal, people belonging to the Barelvi and Deoband sects started to fight with wooden sticks and iron rods. However, heavy contingents of law enforcement agencies rushed to the spot and took the situation under control. Afterwards, when some students of Darul Ullom Sadiqya - affiliated with the Deoband sect and situated in the same area - were going home, unidentified suspects opened indiscriminate fire on them. As a result, four students identified as Muhammad Safeer, Muhammad Hussain, Faizanuddin and Bashir Ahmed sustained bullet injures and were rushed to the hospital for treatment where Safeer, 20, succumbed to his injuries while other three students were admitted to the hospital for treatment.

When contacted by Daily Times, DSP Shafi Rind said the clash occurred over the flag hoisting ceremony held by Sunni Tehreek and added that the deceased hailed from Azad Kashmir and belonged to the Deoband sect. Following the incident, a large number of people and students of Darul Ullom Siddiqya staged a sit-in demonstration near Malir Kalaboard and blocked the National Highway for two hours. However, after police assurance the enraged people ended the demonstration and dispersed peacefully."

He provoked that the people should come out from houses to teach the Hindu community a lesson. ... Around 50 persons under the leadership of Maulvi started searching each house during which women were dragged by the hair out from the houses in their sleeping garments conditions; children were kicked to force them to leave the houses. There were 60 houses and it took three hours to search for the man suspected of the blasphemy but no such person was found in the community. When the situation deteriorated after the humiliation of the Hindus and the threats from the Muslims to burn the Hindu-houses, a police party under district police officer of Mirpurkahs arrived and started controlling the mob of more than three hundred Muslims. The angry mob started pelting the police with stones shouting slogans to burn down the houses of the Hindus. The mob then burned three houses and looted the belongings of the community. In the meantime the loudspeakers of the mosque were continuously used to provoke the Muslims to attack the houses of Hindus of Bhemo Mal Megwar that might have provided shelter to the person, who had written blasphemous writings on the walls around the mosque."

Battle over the houses of God

By Salman Siddiqui

Published: October 18, 2010

"Shaiq was extremely sad and bitter over the target killing of his friend, Maulvi Ameen, on Oct 5, who like him used to lead prayers at Noor mosque. “Just before Ramadan, Ameen told me he was facing life threats,” he says, adding that his friend, a former member of the SSP, left for Dubai to spend the holy month in peace there and had only recently returned to Pakistan when he was shot dead. Later, ASWJ chief Maulana Aurangzeb Farooqui along with Jamia Binoria chief Mufti Naeem in a press conference blamed the Sunni Tehrik for the murder and specifically mentioned that Ameen was killed because he was associated with Noor masjid. The Deoband clerics then went on to announce a strike for Oct 7 to mourn his assassination. However, on the same day, Karachi’s landmark shrine, Abdullah Shah Ghazi shrine was rocked by two suspected suicide blasts in the evening that killed 9 people."

1 Dec 2010: RAWALPINDI: ‘Peace’ returned to Ratta Amral graveyard on Tuesday night after the body of a little Hindu girl buried there a year ago was exhumed by her family and reburied in the adjacent Christian graveyard.

Their act of assuaging ‘Muslim sensitivities’ took place in the dark of the night and under tight security. “When we buried our Summan Prem there on October 1, 2009, we mistakenly thought it was the Christian graveyard,” an uncle of the girl told Dawn, tears rolling down his cheeks in memory of his niece who would have been 10 this year.
“We did not want to cause any controversy, or annoy anyone. If the (graveyard management) committee does not want us Hindus to bury their dead here, we won’t,” he said.
.......Summan’s Hindu ancestry became known only after the family put a tombstone on her grave, bearing her name and Hindu Mantras. Tongues started wagging at this ‘sacrilege’ and agitated Muslim clerics and visitors to the Ratta Amral graveyard raised ‘the issue’ with the graveyard’s managing committee. They accused the management of negligence and threatened to stop burying their dead in the graveyard unless it was ‘purified’ by removing the non-Muslim’s body......
Hafiz Iqbal Rizvi, Rawalpindi District Khateeb, holds that Shariat does not allow burying non-Muslims in Muslim graveyards. Chairman of the District Peace Committee Maulana Izhar Hussain Shah Bukhari blamed the burial of the non-Muslim girl in Ratta Amral graveyard on the management committee and the grave digger who did not register the names of the dead brought to the graveyard."

Pakistan was created because Allah wanted to do so on Ramzan 27 (Laila Tul Qadar), he said, while asserting that he could prove 'death for blasphemers from 1000 verses of the Holy Quran, and tempering the concept of blasphemy meant violation of the law of nature.

"January 15, 2011:
LAHORE: Two Christian women were beaten and publically humiliated by an angry mob over apparently frivolous blasphemy allegations and they and their family are now in hiding for fear of being killed, The Express Tribune has learnt.
According to the family, the allegations stem from a dispute between Amina, a Muslim, and her sister-in-law Zahira, a Christian, in an East Lahore locality. The two got into an argument on Tuesday night and though it appeared to have been settled, on Wednesday morning, after her husband Zahid had gone to work, Amina walked out onto the street and started shouting that Zahira had abused the Holy Prophet (pbuh).
A short while later, a group of men led by Muhammad Sameer, a member of a religious organisation keen on raising its sectarian profile, forced their way into the house and started slapping Zahira, said another of her brothers, Sohail. “Other men and women from the neighbourhood started gathering at the house too and they beat up my sister and mother. They were the only people in the house,” he said.
“We tried our best to get her to confess her crime,” Sameer told The Express Tribune. As a member of the religious organisation, he said he could not tolerate any derogatory remarks about the Holy Prophet (pbuh).
Sameer added that he was very proud of his wife’s performance during the mob beating. “She beat Zahira more than anyone else. Her hand is so swollen that she hasn’t been able to make rotis since the day of the incident. I’ve been getting my meals from a restaurant,” he said.
Malik Mumtaz Qadri, the self-confessed assassin of Salmaan Taseer, is a member of the same group as Sameer. The group also runs a twenty-four hour cable TV channel.
Khadim Hazoor, Sameer’s son-in-law and another participant in the beating, said that the women’s faces were blackened and they were made to wear necklaces of shoes and paraded around the locality on donkeys to humiliate them. He said the women denied blaspheming and repeatedly touched their feet seeking mercy."

April 21, 2011: "LAHORE – The Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) will sue Lahore DCO Ahad Cheema for blasphemy, Pakistan Today learnt on Wednesday. The decision was taken in a meeting of the SIC hierarchy in Lahore. A complaint in this regard will be submitted at a proper forum within two to three days. Blasphemy laws will be invoked for the purported desecration of the Holy Prophet’s (PBUH) name inscribed on hoardings, billboards and banners of the organisation which were removed on the orders of the DCO from various parts of the city. The SIC alleged that the administration shredded and flung to the ground posters carrying names of the Quaid-e-Azam, Allama Iqbal, Pir Syed Jamaat Ali Shah , Pir Mohyudeen Shah Golarvi and Maulana Shah Ahmad Noorani. A legal team headed by former federal deputy attorney general Mian Khalid Habib Elahi gave SIC leaders a detailed briefing on the implications of the legal process. It was announced that a committee under JUP-F Punjab General Secretary Pir Syed Mohammad Iqbal Shah ex MPA would be formed to start legal proceedings. SIC Spokesman Muhammad Nawaz Kharal refused to comment on whether SIC was considering taking legal action against the DCO. He, however, said that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and leaders of freedom struggle had been disrespected."

Godhra clashes (July 2011)

http://tribune.com.pk/story/199891/law-and-order-sectarian-clashes-erupt-in-godhra-colony/
1 Jul 2011: KARACHI: A violent clash between two religious groups — Sunni Tehreek from the Barelvi sect and Ahle Sunnat wal Jamaat (ASWJ) from the Deobandi sect — erupted in New Karachi’s Godhra Colony on Thursday night. Until last reports, three people, including a 26-year-old woman, were killed.....
ASWJ Karachi president Maulana Taj Mohammad Hanafi said that one of their workers Faisal was shot dead by armed ‘gangs’ of the Sunni Tehreek and there were reports that several others had suffered injuries. Hanafi said their workers were deliberately attacked by the Sunni Tehreek workers.
A similar clash had occurred in the same area around five months ago when the two rival sectarian organisations fought and both sides lost activists.
Meanwhile, Sunni Tehreek spokesperson Fahimuddin Sheikh blamed the ASWJ for attacking the party’s Godhra sector office. “The Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (former name of ASWJ) is a terrorist organisation responsible for this violence,” he said. When The Express Tribune contacted Sheikh, he said that at this moment, there are around 20 people trapped inside the sector office. They are facing a hail of bullets, he said."

In Godhra camp, an ASWJ man was gunned down and Muhammad Hussain Attari (Dawat-e Islami), Latifa Bibi (Sunni Tehreek) and Sarfaraz, a pedestrian, were killed. ... Barelvi leaders claim that the sect is attracting people in New Karachi, especially in Godhra camp. “The ASWJ is unhappy as their members are joining our group,” claimed Saleem. According to him, the ASWJ wants to take over Farooq-e-Azam Masjid and the Godhra Muslim Community Hospital. “Since they want to take both the mosque and hospital, the ASWJ attacks us and our people every day. They forget that the hospital has been run by our people for many years,” he said."

"* 1 dead, 13 injured as Dawa, Sunni Tehreek workers fight over possession of mosque
* 7 killed, several hurt as defunct SSP, Sunni Tehreek trade fire over ownership of hospital
KARACHI: As many as eight people have been killed and 20 wounded in sectarian clashes in two different localities of the provincial capital within last 24 hours.
As per details, a man was killed while 13 others were injured when two religious factions had an armed clash in the limits of the Landhi Police Station. The scuffle between activists of the Jamaatud Dawa and Sunni Tehreek (ST) erupted when the two parties tried to get control of Jamia Masjid Ummul Qura in Landhi area.
The mosque, which belongs to the Jamaat Ahle Hadith, was dominated by Jamaat-ud-Dawa operatives but workers of the Sunni Tehreek reached the place after Friday prayers to get control of it. As a result, a skirmish between the two religious factions started.
Some 14 people received bullet wounds. As they were being ferried to a nearby hospital, one Mohsin, 35, son of Niaz, succumbed to his injuries.
Following the feud, tension simmered in Landhi area. All commercial and social activities came to a halt, while activists from both the religious factions took to the streets and shot fires in the air. They also pelted stones on passing vehicles.
The 13 injured, Jamila, 70, wife of Alauddin, Salman, Aurangzeb, Umar Hammad, Muhammad Harris, Kamran, Babar, Rehan Qadri, Muhammad Nadir, Usman Atari, Maulana Nazir Ahmad, Mujeeb Ahmad and Arif, are under treatment at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC).
Heavy contingents of police and law enforcement agencies rushed to the scene and succeeded in bringing the situation under control after three hours. Police officials charged the protesting activists with truncheons and also used tear gas shells to disperse them.
Police officials said the two religious groups had locked horns over the issue of possession of the mosque for not less than 17 years. They said that since construction work had begun in the mosque, armed clashes between the groups were being witnessed regularly.
No case was registered until the filing of this report.
A Jamaatud Dawa spokesman, Naeem, claimed that all activities at the mosque were being done under a legal framework, saying that the law in this regard empowered them to run their religious activities without any hitch.
He held the Sunni Tehreek activists responsible for the incident. Nevertheless, Faheem Sheikh, spokesman for the Tehreek, while condemning the said incident, alleged the Jamaatud Dawa workers for the armed scuffle.
In another incident, activists of the defunct SSP and Sunni Tehreek (ST) traded armed blows over the control of a hospital located near Muslim Stop, Godhra, in New Karachi area that killed seven people and left several others injured.
Operatives of the banned outfit tried to get possession of the Muslim Hospital that led to a skirmish between the two factions. Over a dozen people received bullets wounds of which seven have lost their lives. On late Friday, a Sunni Tehreek activist, namely Muslim was gunned down while one Faisal was injured over the same issue."

A man was killed and almost a dozen others were wounded in an armed clash between two religious groups in Landhi police limits on Friday.

The police said that a scuffle broke out between the activists of banned outfit Jamaat-ud-Dawa and the Sunni Tehreek (ST) over a mosque being built in Landhi No. 5. Officials say the mosque, Jama Masjid Ummul Qura, belongs to the Jamiat-i-Ahle Hadith and was held by the Ahle Hadith organisation, Jamaat-ud-Dawa.
Dozens of people, including ST workers, arrived at the construction site after Friday prayers and tried to stop the work and take possession of the mosque. Thirty-four-year-old Mohsin, said to be the son of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa masjid committee president, died while a dozen others were injured in the skirmish that ensued."

11 Jul 2011: KARACHI: A clash between two rival groups left three injured on Thursday evening in the Godhra locality of New Karachi.
Sources said the clash took place between the Deoband and Barelvi factions after around four Sunni Tehreek (ST) activists - Abdullah, Muslim, Faisal and Farrukh - shot and injured a young man named Bilal after an exchange of hot words. The clash took place near the Rehmania Masjid, in which members of both groups resorted to firing and blocked the busy thoroughfare for hours by pelting the passing vehicles with stones, causing a massive traffic jam. At least three people were injured in the clash and taken to the hospital, where they were identified as Ameen Farooq, 18, Abu Bakar Muhammad Hussain, 15, and Farooq Muhammad Ali, 22.
As per reports, unidentified men torched seven shops and two houses and also attacked fire brigade vehicles attempting to put out the fire. Fire brigade officials returned to the fire stations as they refused to be on the site without police protection."

http://tribune.com.pk/story/211531/sikhs-kept-out-of-their-own-temple-for-shab-e-barat/
17 Jul 2011:  It was then that a gang of young men from the Dawat-e-Islami, a Barelvi proselytising group, claimed that the gurdwara was located on the site of the burial place of a fifteenth century Muslim saint, Pir Shah Kaku. The group claims that Kaku was the grandson of Baba Fariduddin Ganjshakar, an implausible claim since Ganjshakar died in 1280, while they claim that Kaku died almost 200 years later, in 1477.
The Sikh community had approached the ETPB, which had then allowed both communities to observe their religious rituals according to their own beliefs at the temple. The group used it every Thursday for prayer services while the Sikh community used it once a year for the anniversary of Taru Singh’s martyrdom.
This year, however, when young men from the Sikh community went in to set up their musical instruments on July 13, they were thrown out by the men from Dawat-e-Islami and prevented from re-entering.
Members of the Sikh community, many of whom fear to be identified, said that the leader of the group of men, Sohail Butt, claimed that the temple was now a mosque and that they would not be allowed to bring in their musical instruments any more.
Butt admitted to preventing the Sikhs from performing their ritual, claiming that the temple was inside the courtyard of the mosque.
“Shab-e-Barat is more important than the Sikh ritual,” Butt said, adding that the ETPB had accepted his group’s stance."

Four people – Sohail, Ismail Abdullah, Noor Mohammad and Bilal – died and another six were injured as two sectarian groups exchanged fire in the limits New Karachi Industrial Area police late on Sunday night. A heavy contingent of police came in and blocked routes leading to Godhra. DSP Tahir Khan said that two religious groups, the Deobandis and Barelvis, clashed after a young Barelvi man named Noor Mohammad was gunned down."

https://afpakwatch.wordpress.com/tag/ssp-st-clashes-in-karachi/
4 Sep 2011: The armed clashes between banned Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) and Sunni Tehreek (ST) prompted a joint operation by police and Rangers, who arrested more than 100 suspects.
“Eight people were killed in the clashes in Godhra.....Earlier clashes (June 30-July 1) between the two groups left eight dead and injured a dozen, media reported. On June 11, 2010, an ST-SSP clash severely injured 10 people and left several shops and vehicles burning.
“Initial findings show that there is a community-run hospital in the area,” said Salam Sheikh, another senior police officer in the area. “A dispute between the groups over the administrative control of the hospital turned violent.”
The groups have a history of conflicts over collection of donations and forcible occupation of mosques, police and Muhammad Amir Rana, director of the Pak Institute of Peace Studies (PIPS), said.
To prevent infighting over collection of Zakat (Muslim tithing) donations, the Punjab and Sindh provincial governments banned the SSP and 22 other organisations during Ramadan this year while ordering police to observe ST activities, media reported.
“There are political motives behind the violence in Karachi insofar as every political or religious group wants to gain control of an area,” said Shahid Hussain, a college teacher, adding that those groups’ efforts to show muscle inevitably lead to violence.
“(They fight) over forcible occupation of mosques and seminaries, and the collection of Zakat and animal hides has become the source of income for these violent religious groups, including the SSP and the ST,” Hussain told Central Asia Online.
.....
The Pakistani government has banned the SSP (a Deobandi sect organisation) and put the ST (a Brailvi sect organisation) in November 2003 on its terrorist list because of its violent activities, Rana said.
....
However, Rana draws a distinction between the ST and SSP. The ST, albeit violent, doesn’t belong on lists of militant organisations that include the SSP, since the ST has no links to militancy or terrorism in Afghanistan, Kashmir and elsewhere, he said.
“Actually the ST was created to counter the growing influence of different groups belonging to the Deobandi and Ahl-e-Hadees school of thoughts, and soon after its inception, it began clashing with the SSP and Lashkar-e-Taiba,” he added.

http://tribune.com.pk/story/250797/chinks-in-the-armour/
12 Sep 2011: Similarly, several Barelvi organisations have sprung up, especially in Punjab, where they aggressively rally the local population in favour of the controversial blasphemy law and against Ahmadis and Christians. One such organisation is currently involved in distributing hate literature against Ahmadis in Faisalabad, after which one Ahmadi was shot dead in the city last week."

A 42-year-old homeopathic doctor, Abdul Rehman, was shot and killed inside his clinic at Babar Market in Landhi on Monday....Later in the afternoon, a senior activist of the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat (ASWJ), formerly known as Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP), Maulana Abdul Hafeez, was killed while his friend, Qari Hafeezur Rehman, was wounded. The pair was targeted while they were having tea at the Quetta Darbaar hotel near NIPA Chowrangi. Once again, two armed men on a motorcycle were seen shooting at the hotel and disappearing.

March 29, 2012:  "Mr. Zameer Aafaqi, the editor of the editorial page and magazine editor of daily Takmeel-e-Pakistan, which is published simultaneously from three different cities of Pakistan, had written an editorial note on the Eid Milad-un-Nabi (the birthday of the last prophet of Islam-PBUH) and paid tribute to him (PUBH) in the daily editorial on 5 February 2012. The editorial note on the Eid Mila-un-Nabi was written after two other editorial notes; one was on the poor performance of the government in not solving the issues of the people and the second one was on banned religious organizations and their open activities. This act infuriated a group of Muslim fundamentalist organization; Tahafuz-e-Namoos-e-Rislat Mahaz (TNRM).
On 6 February the TNRM declared through a press release that by putting the editorial note on prophet Muhammad (PBUH) on third number in the editorial, the newspaper had committed blasphemy and announced that on the 10 February, Friday, the TNRM will observe a 'protest day' throughout the country against the act of Blasphemy of the newspaper. In the press release it is also said that the TNRM has consulted some religious leaders inside and outside Pakistan who have given their consent to observe a protest day. It was also announced that a case of blasphemy would be filed against the newspaper. Please find the copy of the press release of TNRM here.
On the next day, the publisher (owner) of the newspaper succumbed before the TNRM, apologized and issued a clarification in which it stated that the newspaper will take action against the responsible persons. On the same day Mr. Aafaqi was told that he has been retrenched from the job and he was not allowed to come to the office or use the name of the newspaper. Aafaqi asked about the illegal way of retrenchment but he was told that the newspaper cannot face the actions from Muslim extremist groups and it would be better for him to keep himself quiet and not challenge their actions, otherwise it would be harmful for him, the newspaper and the staff."

Oct 2012: Approximately 30 mullas accompanied by a few lawyers called on the SHO Liaqat Abad in October 2012 and demanded that an FIR be registered concerning the Ahmadiyya graveyard in Model Town. The mullas referred to the court order which was open to interpretation. The mullas had the audacity to remind the police of the ‘fate’ of Governor Salman Taseer.

The SHO sent for the president of the Model Town Ahmadiyya community and told him to either remove the tombstones or seek a stay order from the court. Later the DSP repeated the same demand. Both options were outside the law, in Ahmadis’ opinion. Ahmadis, of course, would not undertake defiling of the holy inscriptions, police were told that.

The mullas fomenting the trouble were led by imam (prayer leader) of Jamia Muhammadiya Rizwia in Khan Colony that is located in the back of the graveyard.

http://tribune.com.pk/story/604779/hate-speech-conference-calls-for-boycott-of-ahmadis/
"Sep 16, 2013:  LAHORE: Speakers at an anti-Ahmadi conference on Saturday vowed to expel all members of the Ahmadi community from the city. The Radd-i-Qadianiyat Conference was held at Jamia Naeemia. The participants were told they had a duty to wage a holy war against Ahmadis. The audience which included a large number of students of the Jamia, vowed to wage ‘jihad’ against Ahmadis through their writings, speech, charity funds and corporal strength.
Maulana Ghulam Hussain Kiani, one of the speakers, said they would force Ahmadis to leave the city. “Their presence has polluted the city… their so-called places of worship are in fact centres of conspiracies against Muslims,” he said. Kiani said that he had the ‘honour’ of ensuring the removal of Kalma Tayyeba from Darul Zikr, an Ahmadi worship place, at Garhi Shahu.
Advocate Badiuz Zaman, another speaker, told the participants not to befriend any Ahmadis. “Sharing utensils with Ahmadis is sinful,” he said, “Being friends with them is worse… the Holy Prophet (pbuh) disapproved of that.” Zaman asked the participants to promise that they would do everything in their power to oppose Ahmadis in every way.
Stage Secretary Maulvi Muhammad Asghar urged the participants to take practical measures against the ‘blasphemers’. “How can you eat your meals in peace while there are Ahmadis living peacefully in your city?” he said. Asghar accused former Supreme Court Bar Association president Asma Jehangir of committing blasphemy, “That must be stopped at all cost,” he said.
Asghar also told the participants to stop consuming foods and beverages produced by Shezan. “They are made by Ahmadis. Buying these helps their movement against Muslims,” he said.
“There are 1,200 Ahmadis currently fighting for the Israel Defence Forces,” Asghar said, “They torture innocent Muslim Palestinians… Muslims shouldn’t even shake hands with Ahmadis.”
Sahibzada Syed Ibrarul Hasan Shah was also critical of the Ahle Hadith. He said, “I don’t know why they think they are the ‘thekedars’ (guardians) of Khatam-i-Nabuwat … they don’t even have the proper respect for the Holy Prophet (pbuh).”"

Sialkot City Circle DSP Hamid Mukhtar, who led the police operation, said that the complaint had been filed by Abdul Hameed Chishti, a local cleric belonging to Jamaat Ahle Sunnat Pakistan, who had demanded the removal of the minarets, verses and Kalma at three worship places."..... Chishti, the complainant in the case, told The Express Tribune that they had identified minarets at two other Ahmadi worship places in Sialkot that must be demolished. He said that they had set a deadline of Tuesday for the demolition, failing which they would take matters into their own hands. He said Ahmadis should be grateful that Muslims were allowing them to live in their country, so they should live their lives as Muslims wanted.

https://www.worldwatchmonitor.org/2013/11/rash-of-blasphemy-accusations-after-pakistan-church-bombings/
23 Sep 2013: In Karachi, the largest city in Pakistan, the Christians of Michael Town had to flee from their homes following a rally on September 23, after they were accused of committing blasphemy by pelting the sign of a mosque with stones.
A journalist working for a local news channel, who reached the site when the attack was taking place, told World Watch Monitor that “a large number of attackers wearing dark brown and green turbans” told him that a text message had been circulated saying that the Christians had demolished a mosque, so they had come to avenge the “blasphemous act”.
Shahnawaz Khan, a UK-based Pakistani journalist, told World Watch Monitor that brown and green turbans represented membership of the Sunni Tehreek (ST), or Sunni Movement.
...
“After repeatedly coming under attack from puritan Islamist terror groups, the movement itself has taken up arms,” Khan told World Watch Monitor while referring to his report on the ST published in the Wall Street Journal. “No other force in Pakistan so jealously guards the blasphemy laws as does the ST.”
Khan added that the ST’s taking up arms, zeal for the blasphemy laws, anti-Christian stance and turbaned appearance are all indications that they are the most likely group to have attacked Michael Town."

LAHORE

THIRTY religious parties and organisations affiliated with Tahaffuz-e-Namoos-e-Risalat Mahaz (TNRM), a platform of Barelvi school of thought, have decided to launch a countrywide agitation from February 27, against the alleged victimisation of ulema and prayer leaders in the wake of Peshawar Army School killings, especially their arrests and removal of mosque loud speakers to ban the recitation of Durood and Salam for the Holy Prophet (PBUH).

An All Parties Conference of these parties here Thursday chalked out a protest programme against the misuse of Amplifier Ordinance, banning of historic books of Muslim scholars, terrorist attacks and Muslim rulers’ silence against blasphemy committed by the European media and leaders, which included a countrywide protest on February 27 and holding ulema conventions at district levels in the following week.

To defy the ban on recitation of Durood-o-Salam on loud speakers, the ulema and workers will recite the Durood by assembling outside the mosques all over the country after every Friday prayer, and religious parties will hold an all Pakistan Ulema and Mashaikh convention at Aiwan-e-Iqbal on March 3, said Sahibzada Hamid Raza, president of Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), another platform of Barelvi parties which also participated in the conference, while briefing media at the conclusion. - See more at: http://www.thenews.com.pk/print/25019-religious-parties-to-protest-amplifier-ordinance#sthash.mUCx7ppT.dpuf

"May 18, 2015: LAHORE: A fate similar to that of slain governor Salmaan Taseer awaits the prime minister and the president if they have the temerity to blaspheme, Justice (retd) Nazeer Akhtar said on Sunday. He was speaking to journalists at a media talk organised by the Tanzim Ittehad-i-Ummat in the city. Akhtar, who is defending Mumtaz Qadri before the Supreme Court, said no blasphemer had the right to live. He said it was binding to kill a blasphemer even if they happened to be the president or the prime minister of the nation. Akhtar said he had been striving against Ahmadis “who were governing the nation.” He said Ahmadis had to be dealt with courage. Akhtar said he had been fighting to protect the finality of prophethood with several like-minded advocates.
He rapped the Supreme Court for referring to Taseer as governor in its order. Akhtar said he had no confidence in the bench hearing the case. He said he would soon approach the chief justice to fix the case before an ‘impartial’ bench. Advocate Ghulam Mustafa Chaudhry, an associate of Akhtar, assailed an anti-terrorism court for asking him why he despised Ahmadis."

"On 19 June 2015, BBC Urdu reported the forced conversion of a 15-year-old Hindu boy who was abducted from home and forcibly converted by a local religious leader. According to the report, Pawan Kumar, son of Gopal Daas, of Tando Allah Yaar, Sindh District, went to play cricket with his friend on 15 June 2015 and did not return. When the family tried to contact him, they found his phone was switched off. Later, that same night, the family received a call from Pawan, who said that he had been abducted. Pawan’s family immediately reported the incident to the police. Upon investigation, Pawan’s whereabouts were traced to the seminary of Mir Ayub Jaan Sirhandi, a religious leader at Umerkot Samaro in Sindh District. The next day, the family heard about the news of Pawan’s conversion to Islam from the ticker on the local TV channel. Mir Ayube Jan Sarhandi is an influential man in the province with strong connections with government officials.  He and his seminary are notorious for the abduction of young Hindus, particularly girls, and converting them to Islam.

"January 5, 2016: LAHORE: Supporters of various Barelvi outfits held a rally on Monday where they praised Mumtaz Qadri, self-confessed assassin of Salmaan Taseer, and said that they would not let the government proceed with his death sentence.
Speakers at the rally used abusive language for Taseer’s family and others including former president Asif Ali Zardari for referring to the late governor as a martyr. They said blasphemers deserved to be killed and condemned those they accused of having a soft corner for them.
The rally held in front of the Lahore Press Club was led by Allama Khadim Hussain Rizvi. Some of the participants waived decorative swords at the demonstration.
Addressing the government, Rizvi said that so far he had restrained his followers from taking matters into their hands. However, he said he would not be able to keep them calm if the government continued to turn a deaf ear to their demands. “Qadri is not a terrorist. Those who say he’s a terrorist are ones. I urge General Rahil Sharif to ensure that all those facing blasphemy charges are hanged to death,” he said.
Sayed Saifullah Khalid sought a pledge from the participants that they would take to the streets out on his call to release Qadri from the prison. “We will not tolerate any ceremony held to pay tribute to Salmaan Taseer,” he said. Referring to the Liberty Roundabout vigil, he said, “Some people have managed to light candles [for Taseer] today. We won’t let this happen in future,” he said."

"The ST was formed in 1990 to prevent the mosques and madrassas of the Barelvi school of thought from being “captured” by Deobandi and Ahle Hadith groups in the city.

“Our main motto was ‘Jawaniyan lutaain gai, masjidain bachayein gai [We will sacrifice our lives to protect our mosques],” said Shaikh.

Muhammad Amir Rana, an Islamabad-based security expert who monitors the militant groups operating in the region, said the ST was created to counter the growing influence of different groups belonging to the Deobandi and Ahle Hadith schools of thought, and soon after its inception, it began clashing with its rivals, especially with the then Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan.

However, Rana drew a distinction between the ST and the SSP.

“Although the ST is involved in violence, it doesn’t belong on the list of militant organisations such as the SSP as it has no links to the militancy or terrorism in Afghanistan, Kashmir, the Middle East or elsewhere,” he explained.

“As the ST didn’t have any tactical sectarian support from any Arab country or a nexus with militant groups in the country or abroad that could provide its cadres with training and logistics, the group eventually decided to play a political role.”

Law enforcement officials told The News that in the beginning, armed ST men fought with SSP activists in different parts of the city, especially in North Karachi and Baldia Town. However, they added, the ST later became embroiled in a turf war with the Muttahida Qaumi Movement after the former emerged as a challenge to the latter’s political domination in the city after the 2002 general polls as both parties drew their support from the Urdu-speaking communities. Naimat Khan, a Karachi-based journalist, said the ST was among the elements responsible for the law and order problem in Karachi.

“The group has taken hold of the central business district where it has been raising funds by forcibly collecting donations from traders,” Khan added. "On the political front, it seems that ST has achieved nothing much except staging pro-Mumtaz Qadri rallies.”"

On March 4, 2016, in a protest-rally held in Lahore against the execution of Mumtaz Qadri, the self-confessed assassin of former governor of Punjab, Salmaan Taseer, things took a turn for the ugly. The rally led by the Sunni Tehreek Lahore leader, Mujahid Abdul Rasool and Sunni Ittehad Council leaders Razai Mustafa Naqashbandi and Muhammad Ali Naqshbandi, instead of registering a peaceful protest ensured that it made a mark in the wake of an almost complete media blackout of reactions against the Qadri execution. Not only were some policemen and lawyers beaten up by some unruly protesters, even clergy members like Allama Ahmed Ali Kasuri were harassed, and Razai Mustafa attacked with a baton. Posters, banners and signboards on the Mall Road were torn, a DSNG van of a television channel, and check post at the Punjab Assembly damaged, while some stone-pelting protesters marched from Data Darbar to Charing Cross. Another Friday, a day marked for special Juma paryers, saw violence from a huge rally of people who profess to be following a path of unity and peace.

He denied that conversions took place under duress...He also acknowledged that some of those girls were under the legal age for marriage.“They say a girl is not mature till she is 18. We condemn this law. We do not accept it. We will never accept it,” he said, reflecting the views of a majority of religious clerics in Pakistan.

http://www.dawn.com/news/1248261/military-called-to-rein-in-violent-pro-qadri-protesters-in-islamabad 
27 Mar 2016: The protesters are staging a sit-in outside the Parliament and have refused to clear the area unless their demands - which include the imposition of Shariah law in Pakistan - are met. The demonstration that started early Sunday evening is still underway early Monday morning, although the crowd has diminished from 10,000 to around 3,000 protesters.
They removed containers and blockades on the way to the Parliament House and also set some containers to fire before staging a sit-in outside the building, where fiery anti-government speeches are being delivered.
Earlier in the day, riot police used tear gas and batons to disperse the stone-pelting crowd from the high-security zone outside the parliament building. ....
Mob attacks Karachi Press Club
Around 80 to 100 protesters belonging to a religious party, Anjuman Tulba Islam (ATI), attacked the Karachi Press Club (KPC) Sunday afternoon where they resorted to aerial firing, manhandled journalists and set a vehicle belonging to Jaag TV on fire, officials and eye witnesses said. The ATI workers were protesting on the occasion of Mumtaz Qadri’s chehlum, said Saddar Deputy Superintendent of Police Kunwar Asif. The police officer claimed protesters carried pictures of Mumtaz Qadri and attacked a “few camera persons” at the Press Club over “lack of coverage of their event.” “The protesters would be booked under the anti-terror act,” he said.
KPC secretary A.H. Khanzada, addressing an emergency meeting of journalists inside the premises, announced boycott of ATI and its mother organisation, Jamiat Ulema Pakistan, till their leaders seek an apology and compensate the damages.

March 27, 2016: "Once they entered Islamabad, the protesters had a clear path to the Red Zone. On their way, they torched the metro bus station at China Chowk and torched motorcycles and vehicles, damaged private and public property in Blue Area and tried to break the grills of the metro bus track.
Any policeman unfortunate enough to get in the way of the protesters was also badly beaten.
The retreating police kept firing a steady stream of teargas canisters at the advancing mob. This made it difficult to breathe and many people were seen gasping for breath. But the protesters seemed to be on top of things and certain individuals distributed salt, water and gas masks to protesters so they could cope with the effects of the teargas.
.....
The protesters at D-Chowk also released a set of 10 demands to the media. Issued under the banner of the Tehreek-i-Labbaik Ya Rasool (SAW), the statement claimed that Pakistan’s Islamic identity was being threatened and that “an agenda to secularise Pakistan is rapidly taking shape”.
The demands included the unconditional release of all Sunni clerics and leaders booked on various charges, including terrorism and murder; the recognition of Mumtaz Qadri as a martyr and the conversion of his Adiala Jail cell into a national heritage site; assurances that the blasphemy laws will not be amended; and the removal of Ahmadis and other non-Muslims who had occupied key posts. They also demanded the execution of blasphemy accused Aasia Bibi, the woman former Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer was killed for defending.

A copy of the letter is with this correspondent, which carries their signatures.  

They pointed out that both Sunni and Shias had great reverence and affinity with the saint and his mausoleum and alleged that those made responsible had not only dumped the grave of Hazrat Bari Imam but also removed the epitaph, inscribed with names of Ahle Bait and the term ‘syed’ had also been removed and a new title ‘qadri’ attached to the saint’s name.

"Most famously, in 1953 massive riots erupted across the Punjab, and especially in Lahore, when members of several religious political groups-including the Barelvi organization Jamaat Ulema Pakistan, as well as Deobandis and activists from the Jamaat-e-Islami-took to the streets to demand that the government officially declare Ahmadis as non-Muslim. Barelvi leaders like Maulana Abdus Sattar Niazi were among the leaders of the mob, which demanded the removal of all Ahmadis from government posts (including the foreign minister.) The frenzied crowd was ultimately subdued only after the army managed to establish control in Lahore, leading to Pakistan’s first taste of direct military involvement in civil affairs."

Hudood Ordinance (1979)

http://www.dawn.com/news/147586/hudood-laws-open-to-change-senator
"Justice Amjad said that the Hudood Ordinance was not produced by Moulvis, as propagated by some ‘liberals’ but by legend law expert of the region. The commission that drafted Hudood Ordinance in 1979 was presided by Justice Muhammad Afzal Cheema and comprised of eminent ulema and jurists like Justice Salahuddin Ahmad, A.K.Barohi, Khwaja Qamaruddin Sayalvi, Mufti Sayahuddin Kakakhel, Advocate Khalid Ishaq, Maulana Muhammad Yusuf Binori, Mufti Muhammad Hussain Naeemi, Maulana Zafar Ahmad Ansari, Justice Muhammad Taqi Osmani, Mir Ja’far Hussain Mujtahid, Maulana Muhammad Hanif Nadvi, Dr Ziauddin and Tajjamul Hussain Hashmi."

"On the other hand, in 1980 started an eight-year long war between Shia Iran and Sunni Iraq. Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq started searching its Sunni allies in Pakistan to counter the influence of Iran in Pakistan. Barelvi Sunnis became Saddam’s allies with Maulana Shah Ahmed Noorani, the chief of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan, his main advocate."

http://english.alarabiya.net/en/views/news/world/2014/07/15/Pakistan-s-zombie-like-response-to-the-Gaza-killings.html
"I can vividly recall that during the early 1990s when the U.S. launched its first gulf war on Iraq, Pakistan did not have many supporters of Saddam Hussain and common people hardly knew him in Pakistan. Yet a religious leader, Shah Ahmad Noorani (late), gave a call to the masses to hold demonstrations against the U.S. and in support of Saddam. It was amazing that tens of thousands of people emerged out of nowhere and gathered on the major streets. They blocked the major parts of Karachi within a few hours."

"On February 12, 1989, a large number of protestors gathered in the heart of Islamabad under the banner of Tahafaz-i-Namoos-i-Risalat to condemn the publishing of 'Satanic Verses' written by Salman Rushdie in the United Kingdom. When the protest came to an end, seven people had lost their lives, thirty more had sustained injuries and forty four police personnel were injured in clashes with the protestors. When the incident took place the Benazir government was just around two months old. The procession was led by Nawabzada Nasrullah Khan, Maulana Abdul Sattar Niazi, Maulana Kausar Niazi and Maulana Fazlur Rehman. A judicial enquiry commission was formed under Justice Ijaz Nisar who at that time was a Lahore High Court judge to look into the facts of the matter which then published its report in August 1990."

22 Oct 1990: The caretaker prime minister´s advisor for religious affairs, a general secretary of the Ulema Mashaiekh Council (Islamic religious body), has declared sacked prime minister Benazir Bhutto a non-Muslim.
Sahibzada Syed Mohammad Younus Shah Kazmi said Bhutto´s comment that "Islamic laws requiring the amputation of human limbs are cruel and inhumane" is an insult to the laws of God.
On Oct. 8, Kazmi requested that the Election Tribunal also declare Bhutto non-Muslim and reject her candidacy.

Acquittal of Salamat Maish and Rehmat Masih (Feb 1995)

Salamat Masih, Rehmat Masih and Manzur Masih were accused of blasphemy by a Sipah Sahaba cleric, Fazl e Haque, in Ratta Dhotran, Gujranwala, in May 1993. See "The Christians of Pakistan: The Passion of Bishop John Joseph" By Linda Walbridge for details:
https://books.google.com.pk/books?id=dOArBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA93&lpg=PA93#v=onepage&q&f=false

Manzur Masih was killed by a Sipah Sahaba militant, and other religious parties joined in pushing for death panelty for Salamat and Rehmat Masih. 

http://articles.latimes.com/1995-02-19/news/mn-33897_1_death-sentence
19 Feb 1995: "Asma Jahangir, chairwoman of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan and the defendants' attorney, appealed the verdict. The controversial case, she said, "concerns the very survival of non-Muslims in this country, if the final word is that a Muslim cannot make a false accusation in such a case."
Jahangir had a personal encounter with the intense passions aroused by the case last Thursday, after she argued her appeal before the Lahore High Court. As Jahangir walked to her car, she was threatened by about 200 bearded men wearing green turbans. They shouted threats at her, then grabbed and pummeled her driver. The windows of her car were smashed.
"If they beat my driver, damage my car, they can also kill me tomorrow," Jahangir said."

24 Feb 1995: ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — In a case that has kindled fiery passions in this country, an appeals court on Thursday acquitted two Christians, one a 14-year-old boy, of charges of blasphemy against Islam, a crime that carries a mandatory death penalty.
Outside the courtroom in the city of Lahore, dozens of Muslim militants in white and green turbans demanded revenge and began throwing stones when the court's ruling was announced."

LAHORE: All the religious parties including Jamaat-i-Islami, Jamiat-i-Ulema-i-Islam, Jamiat-i-Ulema-i-Pakistan and their splinters would observe March 9 as protest day against Lahore High Court's acquitting of two blasphemy accused. The parties have warned of a countrywide movement against the government if it tried to amend Article 295-C of the constitution providing benefit of doubt to the blasphemy accused. These decisions came after a meeting called by the JUI-F and attended by Ch Rehmat Elahi and Maulana Islam Saleemi of JI, Maulana Abdul Hameed Qadri, Engineer Saleemullah, Mian Masood and Shafiq Butt of JUP-N, Maulana Ajmal Khan, Maulana Ajmal Qadri and Z afarullah Khan of JUI-F, Maulana Ismail Shuja Abdadi of Tehrik-i-Khatm-i-Nabuawat and Mian Fazal Haq of Jamiat Alhe Hadith at Sheranwala Gate on Monday."

"A religious  organization, “Jamaat Alh-e-Sunnat,” announced a prize of a  million rupees for the killing of  Salamat and Rehmat, while  another, “Muttahida Ulema Council” of Sargodha, offered  300,000 rupees for the same task."

https://www.hrw.org/reports/1996/WR96/Asia-07.htm
"Human rights groups in Pakistan generally functioned freely during 1995, with a few significant exceptions. Lawyers representing defendants in blasphemy cases were repeatedly threatened, with impunity, by religious groups. Asthma Jehangir, lead defense counsel in the highly publicized blasphemy trial of Salamat Masih and Rehmat Masih, received numerous death threats from religious militants and was forced to seek private armed protection. On October 19, seven armed men broke into Jehangir's home, where they were discovered by her bodyguard. Her brother was wounded in the ensuing exchange of fire. A suspect later told police that the men were members of the Sunni Tehrik sect and had intended to "punish" Jehangir and her sister, lawyer Hina Jilani, for their role in the blasphemy appeal case."

"Some years back a gang of assassins broke into Jahangir's house, but were detected and scared away. Jahangir later discovered they came from a sectarian militant outfit called Sunni Tehrik, but she believes the orders were given by the government. She sent her children, who are now grown up, to boarding school in England after their lives were threatened by militants. "They were very young at the time," she says, pointing across the table at her daughter, now a journalist. "I just couldn't take the tension of them being there.""

"May 4, 1995:  AT LONG last, religious parties belonging to various schools of thought have evolved a code of conduct which, they claim, will bring sectarian violence to an end. The parties, which have formed a national solidarity council [Milli Yakjehti Council], met here for two days and discussed all issues threadbare. Apart from the code of conduct, two other important decisions were taken, to observe a complete strike in the country on May 27 to protest against the government's plan to amend the blasphemy laws, and observe May 26 as a day of solidarity with the Islamic countries, especially Iraq, Libya, the Sudan, Iran and the Filipino Muslims who are struggling for independence. This rare show of solidarity by the religious parties is expected to lead to sectarian peace in the country and one hopes that the sorry practice by one sect calling the other a bunch of apostates will come to an end."

"May 28, 1995: Muslim clerics railed against Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and threatened her law minister with death Saturday during nationwide demonstrations against proposed changes to Pakistan's blasphemy law. The one-day strike organized by a group of right-wing religious groups virtually shut down most major cities. Protesters chanted anti-government slogans and carried 10-foot banners decrying secularism and urging unity among Muslims. Shops were shuttered, churches were padlocked and members of minority religions were warned to stay indoors. Saturday's strike was an unusual show of unity by Pakistan's religious groups as Shiite Muslims joined their Sunni rivals to protest the changes."

Bushra Taseer (March 1996)


http://1997-2001.state.gov/www/global/human_rights/1996_hrp_report/pakistan.html
March 1996: "In March two Ahmadi women were attacked in Karachi for reportedly using a piece of cloth with Koranic inscriptions. Both were seriously injured. Under pressure from the militant Sunni organization, Sunni Tehrik, police registered a case against the women under section 295(a) and 295(c) of the PPC. The sessions court released the women on bail, finding that the piece of cloth had no script on it."

https://www.amnesty.org/download/Documents/172000/asa330101996en.pdf
"Bushra Siddiqa Tasir and Samia Bokhari, both in their sixties, on 26 March 1996 were attacked by a tailor in his shop in Karachi where they were collecting some clothes; both women were injured with a knife and were hospitalised. The attacker who is a member of a Sunni religious organization later stated that the cloth which the women had Islamic words printed on it and that this outraged him. Later he declared that he had received orders in a dream to attack the women. Still later he claimed that the women had tried to teach him Ahmadiyyat. The tailor has not been arrested; instead Bushra Siddiqua Tasir was charged with blasphemy under section 295-C PPC. It appears that police did not register a complaint against the tailor as he was locally seen to defend Islam. Bushra Siddiqua Tasir was given bail but the charges against her are pending. "

https://www.amnesty.org/download/Documents/160000/asa330121997en.pdf
"Samiya Bukhari and Bushra Taseer, two elderly women, had gone shopping in Karachi on the evening of 26 March 1996 when the tailor who had made their clothes for many years attacked them. They were rushed to hospital. Both survived but Bushra Taseer remains partially paralysed. ...

Mohammad Arif’s colleague, Mohammad Arshad, registered a criminal complaint against Bushra Taseer. He alleged that Mohammad Arif had warned Bushra Taseer not to wear the new clothes as the name of the prophet Mohammad was printed on the cloth and that he had become outraged at her refusal."

http://www.thepersecution.org/archive/pl_crimes.html

"Under the mounting pressure from the fundamentalist ‘Sunni Tahrik’, the police obligingly registered a case against Mrs. Bushra Taseer under Sections PPC 295 A & 295 C (the Blasphemy Law) for possession of a cloth with Quranic inscription on it."

He said in fact it was a war against Islam and the Muslims and President Bush had rightly described it as a ‘crusade’, though his spokesman had tried to dilute the impression subsequently. The US president, Maulana Noorani said, had uttered the same words which were in his mind and he wanted to put the Muslims to sword as was the case some 800 years ago. But, he warned, the anti-Muslim designs would also lead to rebirth of Salahuddin Ayubi. Maulana Noorani said as for the Muslims, all US presidents had identical thinking whether it was Reagan, Clinton or incumbent Bush. The US wanted to contain Islam but it wanted to unleash a war in a camouflaged manner. “They have changed the label on the bottle (to give the Muslims a wrong impression that they are the target)”.......

Maulana Noorani said that he believed that the Muslims could not be involved in the kind of sophisticated planning required to destroy the World Trade Centre or strike at the Pentagon.

Addressing the Azam-i-Jihad conference at a mosque here on Sunday, he came down heavily on President Gen Pervez Musharraf for justifying the US strikes on Afghanistan and providing information and logistic support to the allied forces. The conference was organised by Tanzeem Ahl-i-Sunna Wal Jamaat, Khyber Agency, to express solidarity with the people of Afghanistan and condemn the US attacks. Pir Shamsul Amin of Manki Shareef presided over the conference.
Maulana Noorani asked the government to cut off diplomatic relations with America and wage Jihad. He maintained that it was against the teaching of Islam to help America because President Bush had declared crusade against Muslims by launching air and ground attacks on Afghanistan. He said every Muslim should participate in the war against America to fulfil his religious obligation. He said the US wanted access to central Asian states to occupy natural resources.

The speakers announced their resolve to launch a peaceful struggle against efforts to turn the country into a secular state.
Maulana Noorani said that religious parties would not allow conspiracies of the enemies of Islam to succeed and would ensure the country’s Islamic identity was maintained.
Referring to the situation in Afghanistan, he said that a propaganda had been unleashed against religious parties that they sent people to Afghanistan to be killed there, which was contrary to the facts as those who had given their lives for the sake of Islam were all martyrs.
He pointed out that Pakistanis had not gone to Afghanistan just during the past few months but had been going there since 1980s under the patronage of the governments. As such all the regimes that remained in power over the past two decades stood guilty.
Maulana Noorani said that religious parties accepted responsibility of sending people to Afghanistan for Jihad and asked what punishment the government had fixed for those responsible for killing hundreds of people on ethnic and regional grounds.
He said according to the Quran, Jews and Christians could never be our friends and those describing the US, Jews and Christians as friends had been striving to misguide the Ummah."

"There will be a complete ban on musical and dancing shows. Instead, we will promote the concept of Jihad (holy war)," he said......

Noorani said the co-education institutions and offices are also promoting corruption, adultery and extra-marital relations. "Islam gives high place to women and they cannot be exploited as an object of entertainment," he said.  "Dance and music is the legacy of Hindu society. The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal will ensure women's rights and stop their exploitation," he said. He, however, said that the MMA would not stop women from working. "They are allowed to do their business and pursue professions, including teaching, medicine," he said.

"They can run in elections for the parliament, but a woman cannot be the head of the state," he said. "Islam says that woman's rule brings destruction. The nation twice committed mistake by electing Benazir Bhutto prime minister," he added. "But she should be allowed to run in the elections."

In an interview with the PTV, Mr Noorani said the female population of the USA was around 54%, but not one had ever been elected for president. Islam, he said, promoted a society where justice was easily accessible, and when in power, we plan to do just that. "We don't want a British or a European society, where according to a British Parliament report, around 1,000,000 illegitimate children are born every year. Women give birth and abandon their babies in hospitals for the government to look after them."

..... He said his party had no contacts with the Taliban, but the way the US had eliminated their rule from Afghanistan was against the UN charter. The Taliban's dealings were so inspiring, he said, that an interaction of only four weeks had convinced a Western woman to convert to Islam, he said."

https://www.amnesty.org/download/Documents/116000/asa330222002en.pdf
"While human rights and minority rights organisations in Pakistan have condemned the killing, several Islamist groups have publicly welcomed it and offered to pay compensation to obtain the release of the perpetrator who in some parts of the national media has been praised for his deed. The Sunni Tehrik, a Sunni militant organisation has reportedly demanded that the government hand the murderer over to them in exchange for his weight in gold. No action has been taken against those who publicly praise religiously motivated violence and thereby contribute to the perpetuation of such abuse. Amnesty International calls on the Government of Pakistan to take action against anyone who publicly encourages violence and discrimination and to publicly condemn such violence as a signal that such violence will not be tolerated.

Feb 15, 2003: “Calls on an audiotape purportedly by Osama bin Laden urging Muslims to wage holy war in defence of Iraq were justified, the head of Pakistan's Islamic party alliance said on Wednesday. "If a Muslim state is facing aggression from any non-Muslim state, then that Muslim state and Muslims all over the world are justified in launching holy war against the infidel forces," Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) president Shah Ahmad Noorani told reporters. "Muslims would be fully justified by reacting in whatever way they feel is right to defend (a Muslim state)." The audiotape, broadcast by the Al-Jazeera Arab satellite television network late on Tuesday, implored Muslims to launch suicide attacks and defend Iraq against a possible US-led war on Iraq over its alleged weapons of mass destruction.”

March 29, 2003: Maulana Noorani accused President George W. Bush of starting the war on what he called “the basis of his faith” and to help realise the dream of a greater Israel encompassing the area from the Suez canal in Egypt to the Euphrates river in Iraq.
He said he feared Mr Bush would at some stage include Pakistan in his so-called “axis of evil” that now refers to Iraq, Iran and North Korea.
Mr Noorani described Iraqis fighting to defend “the land of prophets” as “Mujahid” like Saudi-born dissident Osama bin Laden and said the planned joint opposition-government resolution must call for a halt to the war and the Pakistani government should also clarify whether or not it had allowed the US forces to use any of its air bases for operations against Iraq.

http://www.dawn.com/news/91351/mma-urges-unity-against-us
April 3, 2003: Speaking at the rally, MMA chief Maulana Shah Ahmed Noorani described the US aggression against Iraq as crusade and said Jihad had become obligatory for all Muslims.
He said people of Iraq were rewriting history of Islam and called upon Muslim states to announce support for Iraq and extend all help and cooperation to it in its fight against US aggression.

April 15, 2003: MULTAN: Muttahida Majhlis-e-Amal (MMA) chief Maulana Shah Ahmed Noorani said on Monday that an anti-US million march will also be organised in Jacobabad, whose air base is being currently used by United States marines. Mr Noorani said Pakistani rulers had betrayed the nation by giving Pakistani air bases to the Americans. "General Pervez Musharraf has harmed the country's sovereignty and integrity by allowing the allied forces to use our air bases," he said. "There are 56 Muslim countries in the world that are enriched with oil, gold and minerals, but their leaders are scared of the Americans. Muslim states should cooperate with each other to break the monopoly of the USA, otherwise it will eliminate them," he said. Mr Noorani said, "Saddam Hussein did not bargain with the attackers, nor did he surrender, and the Iraqi forces faced the allied forces for 21 days bravely, while neighbouring countries like Kuwait and Turkey supported the allied forces by providing their land to them for invading Iraq". He said that Mr Hussein saved his people from destruction by changing his war strategy.


http://www.dawn.com/news/95779/rally-held-to-protest-occupation-of-baghdad
April 16, 2003:  LAHORE: The Difa-i-Islam Mahaz, a 15-party Sunni alliance, held a rally on The Mall here on Wednesday to protest against the Anglo-American occupation of Baghdad.
Hundreds of activists, mostly students of religious seminaries, chanted slogans against the two aggressors as they marched from Nasser Bagh to the Faisal Square (Charing Cross). They included a small group of women, who also belonged to a seminari.
The riot police had set up barricades at the GPO Chowk, but the demonstrators broke through the barrier to reach the Faisal Square, where two constituents of the alliance clashed with each other over the question of leading the rally. Three people were hurt in the clash, but the police did not intervene in the matter.
Speaking on the occasion, MMA president and chief of his own faction of the JUP, Senator Shah Ahmad Noorani, said the best Jihad was to dry up the fountains of evil in the corridors of power.
He said Muslims rulers were hypocrites, isolated from their nations. He pledged to continue the struggle against such rulers until a leadership emerged that could play the role of Ghauri and Ghaznavi. He did not believe that Baghdad had fallen to Anglo-American forces, and argued that the fight was still on. He said that like Afghanistan, Iraq would also become a graveyard of the aggressive forces.
Warning the Indian rulers against any misadventure in Pakistan, Dr Sarfraz Naeemi said Islamabad was not Baghdad, Tehran or Damascus and had the capability to thwart any aggression.
Pir Afzal Qadri regretted that no Muslim country had observed a mourning day over the fall of Baghdad. Declaring rulers of the 50-plus Muslim states as brazen-faced, he warned them that a conspiracy had been hatched to hand over a piece of land between Khyber and Madina in Saudi Arabia to Jews."

"August 9, 2004: Sending Pakistani troops to Iraq was strongly opposed by Mufti Sarfraz Naeemi, a Barelvi scholar, in his Friday sermon at Jamia Naeemia. He said, "Any Pakistani soldier who dies fighting in Iraq will not be a martyr (Shaheed) but deemed to have died an infidel's death.""

"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 daily Pakistan (21 July 2005) MMA leaders said in a meeting in Lahore that 7/7 bombings in London were organised by the Jews just like the bombings of 9/11 in America. JUP leader Mufti Hidayatullah said that Pakistan was being run by the slaves of America and Britain. Jamaat's Lahore leader Hafiz Salman Butt said that the West had put the label of Islam on terrorism."

They said by holding such race, the government was promoting western culture in the country and the JUP would not allow it.

Danish cartoon riots Lahore, Okara (February 14, 2006)

Khaled Ahmed's analysis

http://www.dawn.com/news/178796/arson-violence-on-day-of-mob-rule-in-lahore-two-rioters-dead-slow-police-response-alleged
"In Lahore, thousands of people, including men from various religious parties and seminary students, had taken to the street on a strike call given by the Tahaffuz Namoos-i-Risalat Mahaz, a group of small Sunni parties. A seminary, Jamia Naeemia, in Garhi Shahu had been a centre of activities for the past week to make the strike a success."

https://samaj.revues.org/1652
"The very name of the Front also attests the transmission of an emotional repertoire of protest: it is borrowed from the ‘Tehreek-i-Tahaffuz-i-Namoos-i-Risalat’ formed by another Barelwi imam (Maulana Kausar Niazi) in February 1989 to lead the protest against The Satanic Verses.

It is one of the rare issues on which Barelwi ulama organize, and take the lead, of collective protests, such as the 1953 anti-Ahmadi movement (that they termed the tehreek khatm-e-nabuwwat or ‘movement for the finality of Muhammad’s prophecy’),23 the second ‘round’ of the anti-Ahmadi campaign in 1974,24 the 1977 anti-Bhutto movement (that they rephrased as the ‘nizam-i-mustafa’) and the 1988/89 anti-Rushdie campaign. This is why they were also at the forefront of the February 2006 procession in Lahore: to wash away the stain that the ‘Danish cartoons’ had spread on the Prophet’s ‘reputation’. "

"Considerable damage was done to Shezan Restaurant, a KFC outlet, two branches of local banks, a portion of the Punjab assembly, a couple of car showrooms, traffic signals on The Mall and so on. The police lodged an FIR against Tahafuz-e-Namoos-e-Risalat Mahaz leaders including its general secretary, Dr Sarfaraz Naeemi, and other unknown persons. Pictures of rioters that had been taken during the strike were also released and even pasted on the concerned police station's walls.

Dr Sarfraz Naeemi tells TNS that it is an open secret that no one else but the intelligence agencies had managed the show. "We had given a protest call but in principle it was decided that no one would take the law in his hand," he says. The peaceful protest turned violent when some miscreants set a private building on fire. The situation aggravated further when the Lahore police gave tacit support to these people by not acting against them."

http://archives.dailytimes.com.pk/editorial/24-Mar-2006/second-opinion-who-destroyed-lahore-khaled-ahmed-s-review-of-the-urdu-press

"According to daily Pakistan (February 17, 2006), Shezan restaurant was damaged by the mob on February 14, 2006. Its owner Mian Imran Ahmad announced that the restaurant was not owned by the Qadianis. He said by burning down the Mall branch of the restaurant the mob had deprived its 50 employees of their livelihood. In all, Shezan has 10 branches employing 1,500 people. He said Shezan International, owned by the Qadianis, was located abroad.
The man who organised the Lahore mobs on behalf of his Namoos Risalat organisation, Mufti Sarfraz Naeemi, had been thundering against the minorities, the latest victims being the Christians of Sangla Hill. The Qadianis raise hackles among all religious parties, but facts are usually not known, as in the case of Shezan. The destruction of Shezan points to religious parties and their Khatm Nubuwwat preoccupation."

Amir Cheema's funeral 2006

http://paktribune.com/news/Aamir-Cheema-buried-in-Saroki-amidst-thousands-of-mourners-143672.html
"May 14, 2006:  There was a good deal of dispute over leading the funeral prayers, as everybody aspired to clinch the honors, hence Aamir’s father was chosen to lead the funeral congregation thus ending the raging dispute. Aamir’s father, Nazir Cheema voiced in favor of his revered saint, Syed Pir Afzal Shah as the secondary person to lead the funeral prayers. Mr. Nazir wanted Sunni faction leaders to lead the funeral prayers, because the sect believes in chanting slogans of the beloved Holy Prophet (MPBUH). Despite the fact that the exact official time of funeral prayers could not be determined due to this reason, thousands of persons overwhelmingly attended the funeral services, despite blistering heat.
The funeral services occasionally rang out loudly with slogans of various Quranic verses and recitations of martyred student’s praise. Before the funeral prayers leaders of Sunni Party, Mufti Muhammad Ansar ul Qadri, Allama Qari Shahid Chishti, Ahle Sunni Party ’s UK chapter Amir, Syed Munnawar Shah Bukhari, MMA’s Pir Mahfooz Shah Mashadi, Saeed Shah Gujarati, JI’s Professor Munnawar, and Amir Jammat -ul-Daawa Hamza addressed the congregation."

"Lyrical columnist Irfan Siddiqi wrote in Nawa-e-Waqt (May 14, 2006) that he had heard Prof Nazir, the father of the martyr of Germany, Amir Cheema, narrate his true dream. Fountains of light (noor) had burst forth in all directions as the sacred gathering became visible. It was announced that the Companions had arrived. Then it was declared that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself was seated in the vicinity but his face could not be seen. Then the voice of the Prophet (PBUH) was heard saying Amir Cheema is coming (Amir aa raha hai)! The Companions stood up in respect and started looking in one direction. Then the voice of the Prophet (PBUH) said: "Hasan and Husain, look who I am sending to you, look after him.""

"April 2, 2006: LAHORE: Local authorities dug up the grave of an Ahmadi girl in a Muslim graveyard in Chanda Singh village, Kasur, 10 days after her death and moved her body to an Ahmadi cemetery under pressure from clerics. Kasur DPO Captain (r) Mobeen Ahmed supervised the reburial on March 18, Daily Times has learnt. District police officials confirmed the report and conceded that it was done under pressure from the Majlis-e-Tahafuz-e-Khatam-e-Nabuwat and local clerics.
Nadia Hanif, 17, died of an illness on March 8. She had been running an SOS village school and used to teach kids the Quran. "No one objected to her being buried here at the time," her elder brother told Daily Times. Several Muslims attended her funeral, he added, though the local imam refused to offer Namaz-e-Janaza for the girl. After the funeral, extremists started protesting against her burial in a Muslim graveyard. A local cleric also got a fatwa from Saadat Ali Qadri, who runs a seminary, stating that Ahmadis cannot be buried in a Muslim graveyard and digging up the body is permissible."

Attack on Christians in Toba Tek Singh (April 2007)

http://www.humanrights.asia/news/urgent-appeals/UA-129-2007
"At around 11:00 am on 1 April 2007, a fight broke out between several Muslim boys and Danial Masih, the son of Salamat Masih, while they were playing a game. The children's fight soon turned into a fight between the parents of the children and was only resolved after the intervention of Muslim elders in the neighborhood. 
However, Mr. Abdul Ghaffar, the uncle of a Muslim boy named Faisal, refused to accept the intervention of elders and went to a Muslim seminary named Masjid Faizan-e-Madina where he reported the children's fight. As it was one of the day of the birth anniversary celebrations of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) on April 1, the seminary was full of worshipers. Abdul Ghaffar and others at the seminary then allegedly agreed to teach the Christians a lesson.    Later that day at around 2:00 pm before the city’s big celebratory procession was about to commence, Mr. Abdul Ghaffar filed a report at the city police station of Toba Tek Singh.  The report claimed that Mr. Salamat Masih and four other Christian persons were responsible for the desecration of Islamic posters and stickers containing the name of Allah, Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and other Islamic verses.  
Mr. Arif Ali Watto, the Station Head Officer (SHO), allegedly converted the report into a First Information Report (FIR) within 20 minutes without initiating any investigation into the allegation.  This translated into an illegal blasphemy case against the five persons. The five persons are; Mr. Salamat Masih, his son Mr. Rashid Masih and three others namely Sheela Masih, Bao Masih and Shabba Masih. All of them have been charged under sections of 295A, 295C, 452, 148 and 149 of Pakistan Penal Code. No inquiry by a police officer with a ranking of District Police Officer or above has been made in this case. 
After confirming that a blasphemy case was filed against the five Christians, Mr. Abdul Ghaffar, allegedly instigated people gathered at the seminary for the celebrations saying that Christians torn off sacred verses of Quran Shareef, holy book of Muslims, and disgraced the name of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) with shoes.
Upon hearing this, at around 3:00 pm on the same day, about 80 young Muslims from the main procession attacked the Christian colony close to Bakhshi Park. They ransacked the houses of Christians and assaulted several people who received injuries. Some Christian homes were also brunt down. During the attack, one young disabled Christian person named Ratan Masih was brutally hit with bricks and severely injured. He was later admitted to a civil hospital in the district."

http://www.dawn.com/news/241438/another-accused-in-blasphemy-case-held
"TOBA TEK SINGH, April 8: City police on Sunday arrested another blasphemy accused, Shehla Masih, during a raid at Christian Colony. The police had registered a blasphemy case against five people on Eid-i-Milad and arrested one of them, Salamat Masih. The accused had reportedly trampled a sticker underfoot on which the picture of `Naalain Mubarik’ of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) had been published.
Catholic church priest Bonnie Mendes has condemned the arrest of Shehla Masih and termed it an action of police to create a law and order situation. He demanded immediate release of both the accused and quashment of the case. He claimed that the case was baseless and no incident had taken place at all.
On the other hand, a meeting of citizens and ulema was held on Sunday in Jamia Kareemia Rizvia with Tanzeem Ulema Ahle Sunnah chief Sahibzada Faiz Rasool in the chair. The participants passed a resolution, demanding arrest of all the blasphemy accused. The meeting was attended by Sunni Tehrik district convener Allama Hameeduddin Rizvi, Jamiat ulema Ahle Sunnah secretary-general Maulana Shamas Zaman Qadri and some local bodies representatives."

They told the officers that some “secular NGOs and elements” were trying to get the case quashed by presenting false arguments.
A day earlier, religious scholars belonging to different schools of thought demanded that the government should place the names of the six blasphemy accused on the Exit Control List.
A case had been registered by the Toba Tek Singh city police against the blasphemy accused. Two of them have already been arrested.
At a meeting in Jamia Kareemia with Tanzeem-i-Ulema-i-Ahle Sunnah chief Sahibzada Faiz Rasool Siddiqui in the chair, a resolution was passed in which the arrest of the remaining accused was demanded.
On the Eid Miladun Nabi (peace be upon him), Bakhshi park’s resident Faisal Gulzar was returning from a procession when a Christian youth, Salamat Masih, stopped him and snatched from him a sticker pasted on his pocket which contained the picture of the Naalain Mubarik. He allegedly rubbed the sticker by his shoes.
The city police had registered a case against him and his five accomplices under sections 295-A and 295-C and the accused later stormed into Faisal’s house and tortured the members of his family in revenge. The police have so far arrested Salamat Masih and Shehla Masih while the other four accused are at large."

The clerics, while protesting outside the Data Darbar, demanded the government to call Pakistani diplomats back from the UK. They said the government should cut off the diplomatic and trade ties with the UK. The clerics also endorsed the floor statements of Federal Religious minister Ejazul Haq and Punjab Assembly speaker Chaudhry Afzal Sahi terming to kill a blasphemer justified even in a suicidal attack. The PA speaker while speaking on the floor on Thursday said that he would kill a blasphemer if he/she comes in front of him. The clerics aimed to follow the words of the PA speaker.
They were shouting anti-America, anti-UK and anti-Musharraf slogans. The speaking aimed to continue their protest till the death of Rushdie. The emotionally charged participants said it was a war between Islam and the infidels. They also shouted anti-Christianity slogans. They burnt effigy of the Queen Elizabeth.

"June 23, 2007: ISLAMABAD: A Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) leader on Friday threatened the British High Commission in Islamabad with a suicide attack if the British government did not withdraw the knighthood title awarded to Salman Rushdie.
"Like other Muslims, I am a true lover of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). I warn the British government that if it does not withdraw its decision to award the knighthood to the blasphemer, I will carry out a suicide attack on the British High Commission in Islamabad," said local PAT leader Umer Riaz Abbasi on Friday at a rally in G-9 Markaz. Amid loud sloganeering against the British government and Rushdie at the rally, PAT Islamabad president Syed Sadaqat Banori supported suicide attacks on Rushdie and those who support him. "We cannot allow anyone to blaspheme against our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). For His honour, we can sacrifice our lives," he said. The rally resounded with loud 'ayes' and participants raised their hands when Banori asked them if they were ready to lay down their lives for the honour of the Prophet."

"July 7, 2007: The Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) on Tuesday opposed the suicide bombings and the logic behind these extreme steps, said secretary general of PTA Anwar Akhtar. Suicide bombing was not only against the teachings of Islam but also a conspiracy to defame Islam and Muslims, he added. No doubt, the blasphemer Salman Rushdie deserved death but Islam did not teach to kill anyone by suicide attack, he added.

He said the British government had hurt the feelings of Muslims by knighting the blasphemer Rushdie. He suggested Muslims to lodge their protest with the British government from the platform of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC). Muslims should seek resolution of this issue through diplomatic means and in accordance with the international law, he added. He said PAT's Islamabad office had been closed as they delivered controversial statement on Rushdie's issue against the policy of the party."

However, Umar Riaz Abbasi, who made the statement about suicide bombing, is still serving as the Deputy Information Secretary of PAT: http://www.pat.com.pk/english/tid/15980/Central-Leadership.html

Murder of Jagdesh Kumar (April 2008)

http://www.humanrights.asia/news/ahrc-news/AHRC-STM-103-2008
"April 22, 2008:  A 27 year old Hindu worker, Mr. Jagdesh Kumar was killed by fellow Muslim workers on the charge of blasphemy in the presence of more than two dozen policemen including an officer. The police and factory management made no attempt to stop the factory workers killing the young man. ... The police have arrested three persons, two from Sunny Tehreek (ST), a militant sectarian organization, and one from the Pasbaan organization. However, the Korangi 4 police station is providing protection to the perpetrators by not arresting the other persons who were very much visible in the movie which recorded the whole incident with different cameras installed in and outside the factory. It is alleged that two arrested persons, Mr. Waqas and Mr. Usman of Sunny Tehreek, are notorious and have been involved in cases of murder, attempt to murder, rape and other crimes, but are employed by the management of the factory.  Mr. Sarwer Nadeem, the manager, along with these two persons is terrorizing the employees, particularly young women who are generally employed on piece rates. The third arrested person, Mr. Hashim Makrani, belongs to Pasbaan, also a religious organization. There is a 300 strong group of ST members in the factory..... One day before his killing, Waqas and Usman and some other persons from ST threatened Jagdesh not to come back to the factory otherwise he would face exemplary punishment. Jagdesh complained about this threat to his seniors, particularly his supervisor, but no action was taken."

2 Nov 2008: LAHORE: A large police contingent guards a Walton Road private school that was closed down several days ago following threats from locals who accuse the administration of blasphemy. Books printed by the school for classes V and VI included a lesson titled Hero/Role Model, listing six names: the Holy Prophet (pbuh), Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Fatima Jinnah, Abdul Sattar Edhi and Qurban Ali the patron of the school trust – resulting in allegations of blasphemy and threats of murder. A mob led by clerics gathered outside the school on Monday shouting slogans calling for the murder of school officials. The school's 4,000 students had to be evacuated from the campus.
The school administration apologised for hurting people's feelings and sought fatwas (religious edicts) from Jamia Ashrafia and Jamia Rizwia. Clerics from the two madrassas absolved the administration, but a mob led by Mufti Sarfraz Naeemi held another protest outside the school on Friday. "The police should have registered a case against the administration," Mufti Naeemi said. But death threats were not justified, he said, and the school administration may be forgiven because 'they are Muslims'."

"October 23, 2012: LAHORE: Advocate Ghulam Mustafa Chaudhry, the counsel for the complainant and the president of the Khatme Nabuwwat Lawyers Forum, submitted that the school officials had blasphemed. He said that tests were given to students asking who their favourite role model was, and many wrote the principal’s name. He said that the principal had tried to compare himself to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). He said that Mufti Muhammad Khan Qadri had issued a decree (fatwa) declaring them to have committed blasphemy...... The respondents said that they were innocent.... They said that ulema of Jamia Naeemia had issued a decree stating that they had apologised and had not intended to commit blasphemy. The ulema had said that there was room in Islam to forgive those who committed an act unintentionally. Astonishingly, they also told the court that the ulema had asked them to expel all Christian and Ahmedi teachers from their school and that they had done so."

Nov 24, 2008: "HYDERABAD: Speakers at a seminar at a local hotel on Sunday rejected the recommendations of the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) and demanded immediate removal of its chairman and members. The seminar was organised by Sunni Tehrik. Speaking on the occasion, Jamiat Ulema-i-Pakistan chief Dr Sahibzada Abul Khair Mohammad Zubair said that the recommendations of the CII about marriage and divorce were a violation of Islamic laws. He said that the country was in the grip of internal and external conspiracies and the CII by its un-Islamic recommendations had created more religious problems."

"March 31, 2008: SANGHAR: A complete strike was observed here on Sunday in protest against the release of an anti-Islam film by a Dutch member of parliament and alleged desecration of pictures of Masjid-i-Nabavi.

The call for the strike was given by all the local chapter of religious parties. Sufi Abdul Haq, Mufti Mohammad Hussain Qadri and other religious leaders said that some elements in the West were deliberately producing material against Islam. They demanded that the local man who had allegedly desecrated pictures of Masjid-i-Nabavi and used blasphemous language should be sentenced to death. Police, meanwhile, have arrested Anees Mallah and registered a case against him."

"He recalls that in 2005, Dawat-e-Islami established a huge madrassa in Umerkot town. Moreover, he reveals that the Al-Khidmat Welfare Society, the Al-Mustafa Welfare Trust, the Al Akhtar Trust, the Al- Rashid Trust and the Alamgeer Welfare Trust, have all established several welfare institutions and outlets of service delivery in Thar.
“Increasing religious extremism in Thar is evident from the recent riots in which workers of the Dawat-e-Islami were found to be actively involved,” reveal some journalists who were reporting the riots. Religious groups, each with their own school of thought, are trying to consolidate their positions and gain a foothold in the area. The rift between the Deobandis and the Barelvis is quite visible and came into full view during the riots in Umerkot. Interestingly, all religious groups claim that their main priority is to provide protection to the Hindus."

مفتی منیب الرحمن نے کہا ہے کہ آج ملک میں جاری انتہا پسندی کے واقعات سابق صدر جنرل پرویز مشرف کی پالیسیوں کا منطقی نتیجہ ہے جنہوں نے قرآن و سنت کے فیصلے کے خلاف تحفظ حقوق نسواں بل پاس کرایا، دنیا کی تاریخ میں اسٹیٹ لیول پر اپنے شہریوں کو بیچ کر مغرب سے انعامات اور بھاری قیمتیں وصول کیں اور مرد عورتوں کی مخلوط میراتھن ریس کرانی چاہی ، جیو کے مقبول پروگرام ” عالم آن لائن “ میں ہر دل عزیز میزبان ڈاکٹر عامر لیاقت حسین سے ” نظام عدل ریگولیشن کی شرعی اور آئینی حیثیت “ کے موضوع پر خصوصی گفتگو کرتے ہوئے انہوں نے واضح کیا کہ اہل سنت مکتبہ فکر کے نزدیک سپریم کورٹ اور ہائی کورٹ کفر کے نظام پر مبنی ادارے نہیں ہیں لیکن اگر ان کا کوئی فیصلہ قرآن و سنت کے خلاف ہو گا تو ہم اس کی اسی طرح مخالفت کریں گے جس طرح جون 2002ء میں سپریم کورٹ آف پاکستان کی جانب سے ربا کو حرام اور خلاف اسلام قرار دیئے جانے کے بعد جب اس وقت کی سپریم کورٹ نے اسے دوبارہ 1992ء کی پوزیشن پر بحال کیا تو ہم نے اس فیصلے کی مخالفت کی تھی ۔ ...
 انہوں نے کہا کہ جو لوگ آج شریعت محمدی ص کی محبت میں بلند بانگ دعوے کر رہے ہیں انہیں چاہئے کہ پہلے وہ نبی کریم ص کے گستاخوں ، قادیانیوں اور مرتدوں کے بارے میں اپنی پوزیشن واضح کریں اور کھل کر ملعون رشدی اور توہین آمیز خاکے بنانے والوں کی مذمت کریں۔ مفتی منیب الرحمن کا کہنا تھا کہ جن کا دعویٰ ہے کہ وہ طالبان کی نہیں بلکہ رسول ص کی شریعت کو مانتے ہیں تو پھر یہ ان کی اولین شرعی ذمے داری ہے کہ وہ اس بدنام زمانہ تحفظ نسواں ایکٹ کی منسوخی میں اسی طرح بڑھ چڑھ کر اپنا کردار ادا کریں جس طرح انہوں نے اس کے نفاذ میں حصہ لیا تھا۔

Gojra riots 2009

"CDI saw the wreckage. Entire roofs had collapsed. Only an elderly couple remained there because Sharif Masih (80) was paralyzed. His wife, Hanifa Bibi (73), begged the mobsters to spare their lives. The mobsters then left them. A reporter from a private TV channel told CDI that banned Muslim religious groups like Jammat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and Sunni Tehreek (ST) were involved in the attack. He also informed CDI that after the houses were set on fire, firefighters could not reach the scene because the assailants blocked the highway."

https://sadafarshad.wordpress.com/tag/gojra/
"July 31, 2009: Regarding the involvement of Muslim extremist groups such as Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, the journalists said that the two main Muslim sects in the area—Barelvis and Deobandis—had both joined a rally against the alleged desecration of the Holy Quran in Gojra on July 31, 2009. While Barelvis had ended their protest peacefully on that day, the Deobandis led the rally to the Christian Colony where rioters later torched 47 houses."

https://www.worldwatchmonitor.org/2009/08-August/newsarticle_6039.html/
"August 1, 2009: one of three Muslim leaders standing with a crowd of turban-clad Islamists at the entrance to the village, Qari Noor Ahmed, told Compass the story of the alleged cut pages of the Quran at the marriage ceremony.

“Because it was night, no one noticed, but in the morning we saw that the pages of the Quran had been cut to currency note size, and they were trampled under people’s feet,” he said.  Ahmed said that village authorities later met and called in Talib and Mukhtar Masih. He said that council authorities decided that their son should apologize.

“But when his son came in the meeting, he by no means seemed apologetic, rather he was aggressive,” Ahmed said. “This was the root cause, and we told Talib and Mukhtar to tell their children to apologize.” Ahmed said that afterwards they searched for Talib and Mukhtar Masih and their sons but could not find them.

“Then Muslims became furious that first they had profaned the Quran, and now they had fled and were not apologizing,” Ahmed said. “Then the villagers attacked their houses. All the Christians who are visiting here are armed, and we are sitting here to avoid any untoward incident. It is better for you to leave now or you may be attacked.” "

August 9, 2009: "The presence of Wahabis and Sunni Brelvis is dominant in the area, too. Supposedly, people belonging to these two schools of thought actively participated in rallies against the Christians on the day of the incident. Qari Abdul Khaliq Kashmiri, a Sipah-e-Sahaba cleric serving the local Deobandi mosque for the last 15 years, is accused of being the main instigator. He made a fiery speech during Friday prayers a day before the incident. He is currently under arrest....Qari Noor Ahmed, who belongs to Sunni Brelvi school of thought and represents the Sunni Tehrik in Gojra, has also been nominated in the police case against this vandalism. He is currently in hiding."

https://www.wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/09LAHORE165_a.html
"August 10, 2009. Maulana Abdul Khabeer Azad, the imam of Lahore's Badshahi Mosque, related that he spent the week in Gojra encouraging interfaith reconciliation. He underscored that extremist Brelvi group Sunni Tehreek first sparked the riot, though an Ahl-e-Hadith mosque encouraged the violence."

"Maulana Azad detailed that Sunni Tehreek, an extremist Brelvi organization, triggered the first arson incident that burned about 40 houses in nearby Khorian town. He cautioned that he has refrained from accusing Sunni Tehreek publicly because his Deobandi affiliation might trigger tension between the two sects. He clarified that the August 1 mob emerged from an Ahl-e-Hadith mosque, but the masked, armed arsonists seem to have appeared separately. "We presume they came out of local houses," he surmised."

http://tribune.com.pk/story/24397/gojra-riots-culprits-still-at-large/
"June 29, 2010: Funyas Paul, another member of the committee, said that the community is not satisfied with the progress of the case. “Qari Noor Muhammad, one of the men nominated in the FIR, was the one who motivated Muslims in the area [through the mosque’s loudspeakers] to attack the houses belonging to Christians. But he is yet to be arrested.”
Qadeer Awan, a noted political figure of the area, is another person who was nominated in the FIR but declared innocent, they complain. In fact, when Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif visited the area after the attacks, he met with Awan, who is a Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz supporter."

"Local mullahs apparently added to the heightened emotions among Muslim believers in the region who were demanding the head of Talib Masih. A general strike was called and demonstrations began early in the morning, around 9 AM. The demonstration was led by Molvi Noor Mohammed of Suni Tehreek, and others from Ahle Sunnat, Anjman Sapahi Sahaba, and other fanatical groups. Mostly, the demonstrators were from madrassas."

"September 24, 2009: It will be recalled that on behest of anti-Ahmadi agitators in Faisalabad the police booked as many as 32 Ahmadis in July under the blasphemy clause and the law specific to Ahmadis. Subsequently a heavy police contingent desecrated the Ahmadiyya mosque in the village and removed Islamic and religious inscriptions from all Ahmadiyya houses. These Ahmadis are on temporary bail until September 30. The mulla, however, is bent upon mischief. A number of clerics railed against the Ahmadis of Lathianwala in their Friday Sermons. The religious leadership is busy in instituting further agitation. The Sunni Tehrik, a politico-religious sectarian party sent a group of armed mischief-mongers to Lathianwala on 24^th September. They parked their vehicle in front of the entrance of an Ahmadi home. Ahmadi children came out and touched the vehicle. At this the visitors started making noise as to why the children even touched their vehicle. They shouted threats, moved over to the bazaar, collected some local colleagues who brought along fire-arms. These gangsters started firing at Ahmadis. Ahmadi youth also fired in self-defence. At this the attackers retreated. In this exchange, three young Ahmadi young men received minor injuries. The police came to know of the developments and arrived at the scene. At this the attackers fled. The police and senior officials stayed on late into the night. The police SHO refused to register a case based upon the injuries to the Ahmadi youth. The next day, at the orders of the Superintendent of Police Jaranwala, the SHO registered a case against 24 men of each party under an anti-terrorism clause."

"According to complainant Fatehul Deen – son of the deceased – two armed assailants on a motorbike sprayed bullets at his father around 8am when he was sitting at his general store, where he (Fateh) and his brother were also present. He said his father died instantly while he and his brother narrowly escaped the attack.
No action: Fateh alleged that the assailants were the henchmen of local religious leader Muhammad Ahmed Faridi. He alleged that two men – Inamullah and Shaukat – were also involved in his father's murder.
Fateh said that on December 29, Faridi erected a huge signboard at the main roundabout in Ferozewala Bazaar, which bore slogans provoking people against the Ahmadis. He said the accused also made phone calls to him and other Ahmadis in the area, threatening them to leave the area or else face dire consequences. Fateh said despite being intimated about these threats, police took no action against the accused that had resulted in his father's death."

"July 14, 2010: The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has learned that two Christian men are in imminent danger after they were arrested, without a legitimate investigation, for blasphemy. ..... Violent rallies by radical Muslims in the area have called for the men's deaths, and Christians have reportedly begun to leave the neighbourhood. ...We are told that the police began efforts to address the protestors on the evening of 10 July, and that after a number of meetings it was agreed that the rallies and threats should stop.
However protest gatherings continued on 11 July, and united into a large meeting at noon, at which Muslim leaders from various religious political parties, among them Khatme-e-Nabowat, Jamiat Ulema-ePakistan and Namoos-e-Risalat reportedly reiterated death threats against the brothers, because the government had not sentenced them to death. We are told that among the speakers were Sahibzada Abulkhair Mahumed Zubair and Syed Hidayat Hussain Shah, who are known for inciting violence in the area. At the meeting it was announced that a set of gallows had been set up at the tower of Ghanta Ghar (in the centre of Faisalabad), in preparation for the hanging of blasphemous Christians."

http://www.dawn.com/news/559912/joint-decree-against-suicide-bombers
Sep 3, 2010: LAHORE: At least 50 religious scholars belonging to the Barelvi school of thought on Friday issued a joint fatwa (religious decree) declaring that both suicide bombers and their handlers deserved hell. ....

The scholars also described America as the biggest enemy of both Islam and humanity and urged the Pakistani rulers to give up US obedience and raise a strong voice against drone attacks.

The decree says the ongoing army operation against terrorism is lawful and the terrorists being killed in it are destined for hell while the army officers and jawans laying their lives are martyrs. It has, however, supported the freedom movements of Kashmir and Palestine, and jihad against the US invaders in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The scholars allege in their decree that Indian agency RAW, America's CIA and Israel's Mosad are behind the terror acts in the country and regret that the elements who had opposed the two-nation theory as well as Sufism have become agents of the three foreign agencies to play havoc with the innocent lives in the homeland."

The attack in Chashma, near Iqbal Town in Islamabad, followed Islamic scholar Allama Nawazish Ali’s Oct. 25th fatwa (religious ruling) to kill Khan, pastor of Power of the Healing God’s Church in the Kalupura area of Gujrat city. A mufti (Islamic scholar) and member of Dawat-e-Islami, which organizes studies of the Quran and Sunnah (sayings and deeds of Muhammad), Ali is authorized to issue fatwas....

"January 31, 2011:

Some 25,000 people turned up for Sunday’s Deobandi-led rally, overshadowing the last rally of the Barelvi-led Tahaffuz-i-Namoos-i-Risalat Mahaz (TNRM) held in Lahore two weeks ago.

The TNR rally was different in many other ways from the TNRM rally.

The TNRM protesters and speakers had demanded the end of terrorism in the name of jihad, but the TNR leaders urged the protesters to prepare for jihad.

The TNRM protesters also demanded an end to suicide attacks at shrines of Sufi saints; the TNR leaders made no such demand. The TNRM leaders were critical of the Punjab government, especially Law Minister Rana Sanullah; the TNR rally was attended by PML-N MNAs Khawaja Saad Rafiq and Mian Marghoob.

The mostly Deobandi protesters demonstrated their anti-Shia sentiment when it was Millat-i-Jafria leader Sajid Naqvi’s turn to make his speech. During the three minutes he spoke, the protesters continuously shouted slogans against him, and threw shoes and sticks in his direction. The stage was too far away for any of the missiles to hit their intended target. Other clerics threatened the media. They said the media must abstain from giving people the chance to speak against the blasphemy laws."

We shall tolerate no theft (naqabzani) in the (house) of Khatme Nabuwwat and Tahaffuz Namus Rasalat (Safeguarding the honour of the Prophet)
The highlights:

• Qadianis occupying key posts should be removed forthwith.
• The nation salutes Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri for his sacrifices. The campaign for his (the Governor’s assassin’s) release will go on until the end.
• The blasphemer Terry Jones (of US) who defiled the Quran should be soon sentenced to death for hurting the feelings of billions of Muslims.
• We shall spare no sacrifice over the Khatme Nabuwwat and Tahaffuz Namus Risalat.
• The conference demanded pinpointing the assassins of Dr. Sarfaraz Naeemi and the bomber of the Data Ganj Bux attack; Mumtaz Qadri should be released forthwith, honourably.

"Daddial, AJK; 23 October, 2011:      An anti-Ahmadiyya conference was held here by Sunni Ittehad Council. The daily Ausaf of October 24, 2011 published its report; extracts:
Sunni Ittihad Council will not desist from any sacrifice for the honour of Prophethood – Pir Attiqur Rahman, Sahibzada Fazal Karim
If the U.S. is not confronted, the colonial powers will persist in their obnoxious activities.
… The president of Jamiat Ulamae Jammu wa Kashmir and MLA (sic) of Azad Kashmir government Pir Atiqur Rahman, the successor at Faiz Pur Sharif said, “Mirzais are liars, and liars always incur God’s curse. Our battle is against these people and will continue forever.”
… Pir Sayyed Muhammad Mahfooz Shah Mashadi, president of the Central Jamiat Ulamae Pakistan said, “The laws of safeguarding the Khatme Nabuwwat and the honour of Prophethood are universal in nature.”
  … Munazzam Ali Alhaj Jameel said, “September 7, 1974 was the boon-day for the Islamic world. International preacher of Islam, Maulana Shah Ahmad Noorani became the defender of Khatme Nabuwwat and played a vital role in declaring Qadianis and Lahoris non-Muslims.”

"Human Rights Watch also urged the government of Punjab province, controlled by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) party, to investigate and prosecute as appropriate campaigns of intimidation, threats, and violence against the Ahmadiyya community by Islamist groups such as the Sunni Tehrik, Tehrik-e-Tahafaz-e-Naomoos-e-Risalat, Khatm-e-Nabuwat and other groups acting under the Taliban’s umbrella. Leaders of these groups have frequently threatened to kill Ahmadis and attack the mosques where the killings took place."
"In July 2009, activists of the Sunni Tehreek, a militant group, staged protests until the local police in Faisalabad district of Punjab province agreed to register blasphemy cases against 32 Ahmadis for writing Quranic verses on the outer walls of their houses. The police registered cases against them under sections 295-A and 295-C."

"December 11, 2010: LAHORE: A number of hardliner clerics from various sects have launched a wide-scale joint hate campaign against Ahmedis, and especially those living in Mughalpura are being targeted.
The campaign is mainly launched by local clerics from Shah Kamal Mosque in Ganj Bazaar Area of Mughalpura in collaboration with hardliners from the Deoband, Barelvi and other sects. They are targeting the local Ahmedis by provoking the youth and other people not only to boycott the community but are also urging them to kill Ahmedis in the name of religion. The hate campaign, launched right under the nose of local authorities, includes distribution of pamphlets, wall chalking, corner meetings and banners. The hardliners have even warned the local Ahmedis that they would force the community to exhume the bodies of their dead if they tried to burry anyone at a graveyard."

"December 15, 2010: Local Pakistani Christians and the family of a Christian youth are facing potential death threats and the terrorization of “dire consequences” following the elopement and marriage of a Christian young man who has converted to Islam and his young Muslim bride.
This state of affairs was revealed to ANS by Elvis Steven, a Christian lawyer and minority rights advocate.
Steven revealed that recently in Baldia Town (located in the western part of Karachi) and Saeedabad (also in Karachi), the homes of local Christians were attacked, women were abused and household item vandalized by Muslim fanatics belonging to the Hazara Tribe, Sunni Ittehad Tehreek and Jamaat-e-Islami, under the garb of “searching for a Christian youth.”

Mumtaz Qadri - killer of Salman Taseer

http://www.thefridaytimes.com/14012011/page7.shtml
"It turns out that Qadri was a convert from the Deobandi to Barelvi school of thought. His parents and siblings are Deobandi. They live in Rawalpindi and belong to the nearby Bara Kahu area. Mumtaz adopted the name Qadri out of respect for the Barelvi Dawat-e-Islami leader Ilyas Qadri."

"Like most converts Qadri had a passion for instigating religious debate and on two occasions he had pointed his weapon on colleagues with whom he himself had initiated some controversial debate. He was declared unfit for sensitive duty in a 2004 report prepared by the then SSP Special Branch, Nasir Khan Durrani. His name was among 11 officers declared ‘unsuitable’ for high security assignments. Mr Durrani is now serving as Additional IG of the Special Branch."

"February 25, 2011: Across Karachi are banners asking for Tehmina Durrani to be hanged. Who has issued this call? Yet another ‘tehreek.’ This time it is one that calls itself the Tehreek-Tahafuz-e-Tableegh-e-Islam. It takes offence to “a book written by Tehmina Durrani” in which she has allegedly slandered God’s Auliyas and Ulemas. The obvious reference seems to be to her book, Blasphemy, which deals with the exploitation of women at the hands of pirs – a certain pir and the way the supposed religious figure victimises the women of his household and community."

Protesters chanted slogans against the writer and called her a foreign agent, illiterate and a fake writer. They also demanded the federal government to cancel Tehmina’s citizenship. Blasphemy is inspired by a true story of a woman who is wife of a pir and gets sexually and physically abused during her relationship. Separately, the action committee for recovery of the Holy Prophet’s (PBUH) shoes held a protest in front of the Lahore Press Club demanding arrest of the thieves and recovery of the shoes.

June 2011: Tehrik Minhaju ul Quran in District Sialkot has issued a Fatwa poster on behalf of its branch in Shamali Merajkay, Tehsil Pasrur....The poster gives extracts from fatwas issued by a 19th Century hard-line cleric, Ahmad Raza Khan Brelvi. The text has been paraphrased to suit the 21st century environment. It asserts: Anyone who claims to be prophet is “Dajjal (the Great Deceiver), Kazzab (a great liar), Kafir (infidel) and (of course) Wajibul Qatl.” According to the Brelvi’s fatwa quoted in the poster, “Anyone who considers a Qadiani persecuted and does not call him a Kafir or does not boycott him is himself a Kafir.” The poster makes an impassioned plea to all Muslims to indulge in self-examination and assess for themselves if they are in violation of this fatwa. “If so, are we really Muslim, and shall we be entitled to the intercession of Muhammad (PBUH) on the Day of Judgment? – For God’s sake, consider and ponder,” the poster admonishes.
The Minhaj-ul-Quran is not content with distributing posters only. It chose the religion-sensitive city of Faisalabad to hold a week-long ‘anti-Qadiani course’. Its scheduling was announced in three-column news in the city’s Daily Business Report on July 1, 2011. The vernacular Daily Express printed interim daily reports as the course progressed."
.....
According to the Daily Express, the speakers said, (extracts): “Qadianism is attacking the benevolent shade-giving tree of Islam – The Jewish lobby is busy in unsuccessful attempts to spread misleading conspiracies and mischiefs among Muslims, through Qadianis – Two great mischiefs of the modern times, the Western civilization and Qadianism are causing great destruction to Islamic society all over the world – It is essential that we, the moths of Muhammadan lamps sacrifice our lives and wealth in this great cause. – We shall have to die (kat marna) for the Khatme Nabuwwat.” The Daily Express, Faisalabad; July 4, 5 of 2011.

"Leaders of the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) and the Jamatud Dawa (JD), who rarely agree on anything, have both vowed to resist any attempt to exclude Quranic verses concerning jihad from the school curricula.

In separate statements issued on Sunday, the Barelvi SIC and Wahhabi JD said that the government was trying to alter the curriculum on the directions of the United States and other Western powers.
“The government is conspiring against jihad. We will not allow this,” said a statement from SIC leaders Sahibzada Fazle Karim, Haji Hanif Tayyab, Pir Muhammad Afzal Qadri, Sarwat Ijaz Qadri, Pir Syed Mahfooz Mashhadi, Pir Syed Safdar Shah Gilani and others.

The pamphlet provided a list of approximately fifty Ahmadi prominent persons and business houses giving their addresses. The pamphlet gave the names of the issuing organizations, their cell phone numbers and e-mail address. These people are well-known to authorities."

"September 4, 2011: Shahbaz Taseer abduction splits Barelvi group

LAHORE:The spokesman of a Barelvi group that had called for the assassination of Salmaan Taseer is under fire from colleagues for condemning the kidnapping of Shahbaz Taseer, the slain governor’s son.

Ziaul Haq Naqshbandi, the spokesman for Tahafuz Namoos-i-Risalat Mahaz (TNRM) and president of the Fikr Writers Forum, issued a press statement a few days ago condemning Shahbaz Taseer’s abduction and calling on religious parties to do the same. He said that it was un-Islamic to punish someone “for the sins of his parents”."
Naqshbandi told The Express Tribune that he had been criticised by his party colleagues and they were threatening to expel him for issuing a statement “in favour of the son of a blasphemer”."

"Bahawalpur; September, 2011: A one page pamphlet has been widely distributed in schools and colleges in Bahawalpur to agitate young students against the Ahmadiyya community. This has created difficulties for Ahmadi students. The title of the pamphlet is: "Friend of a Qadiani – Muslim or Infidel" Unanimous Decree" It contains the text of a decree signed by seven mullas including Deobandi, Barelvi and AhleHadith mullas. It ordains that one who has any relation with Ahmadis is outside the pale of Islam, and Muslims are duty-bound to boycott such a person." 

http://tribune.com.pk/story/245319/a-most-dangerous-place/
"By Editorial Published: September 5, 2011
The All-Pakistan Students  Khatam-e-Nabuwwat Federation has killed another Ahmadi in Faisalabad, the city where the Barelvi school of thought has been allowing itself to become dangerously aggressive. Naseem Ahmad Butt was shot to death by four youths calling him wajibul qatl (worthy of being killed). The wajibul qatl verdict was given in a pamphlet distributed in the city earlier by the authoritative-sounding Aalmi Majlis Tahaffuz Khatam-e-Nabuwwat and the All-Pakistan Students Khatam-e-Nabuwwat Federation, Faisalabad. The police were informed but they did nothing, feeling safe behind their routine categorisation of the crime as ‘blind murder’."
..Faisalabad has been dominated for a long time by the Ahle Hadith and Deobandi schools of thought but the the Barelvis are also gaining in influence, and they are not to be left behind in their persecution of the Ahmadi community. This is ironic since the Deobandis, for instance, don’t see eye-to-eye at all with the Barelvis on most faith-related matters and both hurl invective, and sometimes much more, at one another....
......
In June this year, an Ahmadi place of worship was threatened with assault from a nearby mosque. The threat came from a cleric who knew that his outfit was weaponised and could kill just as easily and with as much impunity as the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi. The Barelvis were never taken to jihad by the Pakistani state but they have made up in virulence by embracing two laws that have brought infamy to Pakistan: the Second Amendment apostatising the Ahmadis; and the Blasphemy laws."

"In a meeting on interfaith harmony with Sunni Tehreek in Lahore, in October 2011, the misuse of Pakistan's blasphemy law was also discussed. Apparently, this was not appreciated by Islamic leaders Rana Tahir Advocate, Nasreen Akhtar Advocate, Mohammad Sher Afghan and Moulana Mukhtar Ahmad Qadri. The Muslim religious leaders, who were also working with them while they were discussing the misuse of blasphemy laws, during an exchange of communications, claimed that Bishop Joseph used some derogatory remarks against the Muslim Holy Prophet Mohhamed.
....
According to sources, the International Peace Council for Interfaith Harmony leader Rana Tahir Rahmat, who is the Chairman of IPCIH, and Mulana Mukhtar Ahmad Qadri Zei the Muslim leader of Ahlae Sunat wa Al Jamat( Suni Terreek) and other groups started blackmailing and harassing Pastor George for carrying out evangelism through Interfaith Harmony and Peace Promotion by uplifting the voice of the Christian community rights in Pakistan.

Bishop Joseph and Pastor George both were working with IPCIH when they decided to start a new organisation for Christian rights and peace promoting. Rana Tahir Rahmat and his group then become angry and planned to destroy and kill both Christian leaders by accusing them of blasphemy.

Bishop Joseph and Pastor George have been reported to be in hiding with their families when Islamic leaders announced the blasphemy case would be filed against them. Sources in the area say Christian clergymen have been receiving threatening phone calls from Islamic leaders.....
"These threats have caused both the bishop and the pastor to flee Pakistan. The misuse of the blasphemy law is getting worse day by day, several Christians and other religious minorities are being targeted in Pakistan," Bhatti said."

"Tuesday 17 April 2012  HYDERABAD: Supporters of the leftist coalition group, the Sindh Progressive Committee, had a run-in with the Barelvi religious-political party Sunni Tehreek at the Hyderabad Press Club on Tuesday, resulting in the police hauling in almost two dozen activists. The Sunni Tehreek had been protesting the recent spate of violence in Karachi and had wrapped up the event. The Sindh Progressive Committee (SPC), which comprises the Workers Party, Labour Party, Communist Party, Jeay Sindh Mahaz, National Party, Awami Party and Watan Dost Inquilaabi Party, held a protest outside the press club against forced conversions and religious extremism. The fight reportedly started as the Sunni Tehreek supporters alleged that attendees at the SPC’s event had beaten up a man who had stopped them from chanting slogans that they alleged were against religion. Sunni Tehreek’s protestors went back to the press club and the fight forced SPC event attendees to hide inside the club as the Sunni Tehreek men threw stones and chanted slogans against them. While some female SPC leaders including Professor Arfana Mallah and Sindh University lecturer and activist Amar Sindhu managed to escape, the police cordoned off the area around the press club and rescued the rest. While they had assumed the police would release them, they were sent to the Cantonment Police Station. The Sunni Tehreek’s Abid Qadri alleged that the SPC had “attacked our man first” and “used abusive language”. Arfana Mallah said their protest was peaceful but they had been attacked by the Sunni Tehreek, who brought “weapons, stones and sticks” and “forced us not to chant slogans”.According to the police, 23 men from the Sindh Progressive Committee were arrested."

One speaker, Allama Muhammad Tahir Tabassum, suggested that the government auction off the gun with which Qadri shot the governor (), “like an auction of the bats or hockey sticks of famous athletes”. It was then announced that the Sunni Ittehad Council was willing to pay Rs100 million for the “holy gun”.

جمعیت علماء پاکستان کے صدر اور تحریک ناموس رسالت کے سربراہ ڈاکٹر صاحبزادہ ابوالخیر محمد زبیر نے ایم کیو ایم کے قائد الطاف حسین کے آئین سے لفظ اقلیت ختم کرنے اور سینیٹر طاہر مشہدی کے قادیانیوں کو مسلمانوں سے اچھا قرار دینے کو ایم کیو ایم کی قادیانی نواز پالیسیوں کا تسلسل قرار دیتے ہوئے کہا کہ جمعیت علماء پاکستان اول دن سے ایم کیو ایم کے حوالے سے جن خدشات کا اظہار کر رہی ہے، وہ وقت کے ساتھ ساتھ منظر عام پر آتے جا رہے ہیں۔ 

انہوں نے کہا کہ ایم کیو ایم کی قیادت کے مذکورہ بیانات سے ایسا معلوم ہوتا ہے کہ وہ پاکستان کے اسلامی تشخص کو ختم کرنے پر تلے ہوئے ہیں اور اسلام کے دشمن قادیانیوں کو خوش کر کے اپنی عاقبت خراب کر رہے ہیں۔ ان کا کہنا تھا کہ حضور اکرم خاتم النبین (ص) بن کر آئے، عقیدہ ختم نبوت ایمان کی جان ہے اور قادیانی عقیدہ ختم نبوت کے منکرہیں جو اقلیتوں میں بدترین اقلیت ہیں۔ لہذا قادیانی کسی بھی طرح مسلمانوں سے اچھے نہیں ہو سکتے۔

انہوں نے کہا کہ جو قادیانیوں کی حمایت کرے یا انہیں مسلمانوں سے بہتر سمجھے وہ اللہ اور اس کے رسول (ص) کے غضب کا مستحق ہے۔ قادیانی فتنہ کی پاکستان اور اسلام دشمن سرگرمیوں کے خلاف علم جہاد بلند کرنے کی بجائے ان کی حمایت کر کے کچھ لوگ عاقبت خراب کر رہے ہیں۔

"April 3, 2012: LAHORE – Chairman Sunni Ittehad Council MNA Sahibzada Fazal Karmin has vowed to shed last drop of blood for protecting Namoos-e-Risalat, saying that the conspiracies of making Pakistan a secular state would not succeed.
Addressing the participants of Tuhaffuz-e-Namoos-e-Risalat Seminar organized by Tehreek Tuhaffuz-e-Namoos-e-Khatamul Mursaleen here at Lahore Press Club on Monday, he said that anti-Islam forces were hatching conspiracies to repeal Blasphemy Law but the citizens would not allow this to happen. Mufti Waheed Qadri, Abdul sattar Asim, Athar-ul-Qadri, Ayyaz Hashmi, Tahir Sialvi, Nawaz Kharal, Tabassum Bashir, Tassadaq Hussain, Haseeb Qadri, Fayyaz Wattu, Nadeem Akhtar, Maqbool Chishti and Kareem Khan also addressed the seminar.
Fazal Karim stressed upon the rulers to keep a close eye on the activities of Qadianies as they were enemy of Islam and Pakistan. He said that Qadianies were behind unrest in Balochistan. He said that implementation of Sharia was the only solution to the prevailing problems. He urged the rulers to avoid restoring Nato supplies, saying the people would not accept this at any cost. He said that the rulers have turned Pakistan a colony of the US and a market of India. He said that MFN status to India was tantamount to betrayal with the blood of martyrs of Kashmir."

 April 21, 2012: "To Ahmadis’ surprise, a case was registered on April 21, 2012 against Mrs. Siddique under the blasphemy clause PPC 295-B for defiling the Quran. However no arrest followed. The accused obtained a Protective Bail order from the High Court who ordered that the regular bail be obtained from the Sessions Judge.

The mullas then agitated against the non-arrest of the lady. The militant wing of Sunni Tehrik took the lead in that agitation and its president held a press conference to demand that the accused woman should be arrested. He also availed the occasion to slander and bad-mouth the Ahmadiyya community. The police followed up the FIR. They interrogated again the lady and the neighbours. The neighbours attested that the lady was not the type who would defile the Quran. As the police did not arrest the lady, the mullas approached a court with plea for arrest. The police informed the court that they had visited the residence of the accused several times and found it locked shut. Mrs. Siddique had fled to avoid arrest and prosecution in this baseless and fraudulent accusation."

اسلام ٹائمز۔ فدایانِ ختم نبوت کے زیراہتمام ایوان اقبال لاہور میں تاجدارِ ختم نبوت کانفرنس سے خطاب کرتے ہوئے مقررین نے کہاکہ قادیانیت مذہب کے لبادے میں سیاسی تحریک ہے جو بیرونی طاقتوں کی مدد سے پاکستان میں غلبہ و اقتدار کے لیے سرگرم عمل ہے، مرزائی بلوچستان کو قادیانی سٹیٹ بنانا چاہتے ہیں۔ مقررین نے کہا کہ مقبوضہ کشمیر کو پاکستان سے الگ رکھنے کی سازش میں قادیانی شریک تھے، بنگلہ دیش بننے پر ربوہ میں مٹھائیاں تقسیم کی گئیں، لیاقت علی خان جس جلسے میں قتل ہوئے اس جلسے میں وہ قادیانی وزیر خارجہ ظفراﷲ خان کو برطرف کرنے کا اعلان کرنے والے تھے، لیاقت علی خان کو سیّد اکبر نے نہیں بلکہ ایک جرمن قادیانی نے قتل کیا۔

مقررین میں سنی اتحاد کونسل کے سربراہ صاحبزادہ فضل کریم ،جے یو پی کے سربراہ ڈاکٹر ابوالخیر محمد زبیر، سنی تحریک کے سربراہ ثروت اعجاز قادری، علامہ حافظ خادم حسین رضوی، رویت ہلال کمیٹی کے چیئرمین مفتی منیب الرحمن، میر عتیق الرحمن خیرپوری، قاری زوار بہادر، ڈاکٹر راغب حسین نعیمی، صاحبزادہ رضائے مصطفی نقشبندی، پیر میاں محمد حنفی سیفی، اور دیگر شامل تھے۔ کانفرنس کی صدارت علامہ حافظ عبدالستار سعیدی نے کی۔

رہنماؤں نے کہا کہ قادیانی پاکستان نہیں بھارت کے وفادار ہیں کیونکہ ان کا مرکز قادیان بھارت میں موجود ہے، قادیانیوں کا ہیڈکوارٹر تل ابیب میں ہے، پاک بھارت جنگ کے دوران پورے ملک کی روشنیاں بند تھیں لیکن بھارتی طیاروں کو سرگودھا ہوائی اڈے کا محل وقوع بتانے کے لیے ربوہ کی روشنیاں بند نہیں کی گئیں۔ بھٹو پہلی دفعہ امریکہ گئے تو امریکی صدر نے قادیانی جماعت کا خیال رکھنے کا کہا، قادیانی ٹولہ آزادی سے پہلے پاکستان کا کھلا دشمن اور آزادی کے بعد چھپا ہوا دشمن ہے، امریکی ہدایت پر مرزا غلام احمد کے پوتے ایم این احمد کو پاکستان کا سیکرٹری مالیات بنایا گیا، قادیانی وزیر خارجہ ظفر اﷲ خان نے قائداعظم کا جنازہ پڑھنے سے انکار کر دیا تھا۔

صاحبزادہ فضل کریم نے کہا کہ پاکستان کو ہر روز نائن الیون کا سامنا ہے اور پاکستان مسلسل حالت جنگ میں ہے، عالمی طاقتیں فرقہ وارانہ قتل و غارت کے ذریعے پاکستان کو ناکام ریاست بنانا چاہتی ہیں۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ حکمران قانونِ ناموسِ رسالت کے خلاف عالمی دباؤ مسترد کر دیں کیونکہ اسلامیانِ پاکستان قانونِ ناموسِ رسالت کو تبدیل یا ختم کرنے کی کسی سازش کو کامیاب نہیں ہونے دیں گے۔ جمعیت علمائے پاکستان کے سربراہ ڈاکٹر ابوالخیر محمد زبیر نے کہا کہ عقیدۂ ختم نبوت کے تحفظ اور فتنۂ قادیانیت کی سرکوبی کے لیے جدوجہد تیز تر کی جائے گی۔

انہوں نے کہا کہ اُمّت مسلمہ نے ہمیشہ ناموسِ رسالت کے تحفظ اور عقیدۂ ختم نبوت کی پاسبانی کے لیے قربانیاں دی ہیں اور اب بھی ہم اپنے لہو سے قانونِ ناموسِ رسالت کی حفاظت کریں گے۔ سنی تحریک کے سربراہ ثروت اعجاز قادری نے کہا کہ قادیانی اسلام اور پاکستان کے خلاف سازشوں میں مصروف ہیں۔ انہوں نے مطالبہ کیا کہ مرتد کی شرعی سزا نافذ کی جائے اور امتناعِ قادیانیت آرڈیننس پر عمل یقینی بنایا جائے اور ختم نبوت کو نصاب میں شامل کیا جائے۔ ثروت اعجاز قادری نے کہا کہ قادیانیت کے پیچھے مغربی قوتوں کا ہاتھ ہے، قادیانیت کی سرکوبی ہر مسلمان پر لازم ہے۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ قانونِ ناموسِ رسالت کے تحفظ کے لیے کسی قربانی سے دریغ نہیں کریں گے۔

رویت ہلال کمیٹی کے چیئرمین مفتی منیب الرحمن نے کہا کہ حکومت قادیانیوں کی سرپرستی کی بجائے انہیں اعلیٰ عہدوں سے برطرف کرے کیونکہ قادیانی اسلام اور پاکستان کے دشمن ہیں۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ قادیانیت کے ناسور کا خاتمہ وقت کی ضرورت ہے۔ مفتی منیب الرحمن نے کہا کہ عقیدۂ ختم نبوت ایمان کی بنیاد ہے اور ختم نبوت پر ایمان لائے بغیر کوئی شخص مسلمان نہیں ہو سکتا۔ علامہ حافظ خادم حسین رضوی نے کہا کہ قادیانی اسلام کے باغی اور پاکستان کے غدار ہیں، ایمان کی حرارت والے فتنۂ قادیانیت کا تعقب کرتے رہیں گے۔

کانفرنس میں منظور کی گئی قراردادوں میں مطالبہ کیا گیا کہ قادیانیوں کو کلیدی عہدوں سے الگ کیا جائے اور انہیں مساجد کی تعمیر اور مسلمانوں جیسے نام رکھنے سے روکا جائے، صدر مملکت ممتاز حسین قادری کی سزائے موت ختم کرنے کا اعلان کریں، وزیراعظم قانونِ ناموسِ رسالت کو تبدیل یا ختم نہ کرنے کا اعلان کر کے مسلمانوں میں پایا جانے والا اضطراب ختم کریں۔ کراچی میں سنی تحریک اور انجمن نوجوانانِ اسلام کے شہداء اور ڈاکٹر محمد سرفراز نعیمی شہید سمیت علمائے اہلسنّت کے قاتل گرفتار کئے جائیں۔ مزاراتِ اولیاء پر دھماکے کرنے والے ملزمان کو کیفر کردار تک پہنچایا جائے۔

"November 1, 2012: LAHORE: The police arrested a teacher and the owner of a high school on blasphemy charges on Wednesday evening, following a day of clashes with enraged protesters outside the school in Karim Park. An FIR was registered against the Farooqi Girls High School administration, owner and principal Asim Farooqi, and teacher Irfa Ahmed under Section 295-C of the Pakistan Penal Code on the complaint of Abdullah Saqib, the vice principal of Jamia Kareemia Sadidia, a religious school in the same area.....But before the FIR was lodged, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the school confronted the police guards, forcing them to take refuge in nearby houses. The protesters took charge of the street on which the school is located, burnt its furniture and computers and spray-painted “Gustakh-i-Rasool” on the walls. A car parked in the courtyard was destroyed."

"Karim Park; November 1, 2012:       The principal of Farooqia Girls High School took disciplinary action against the school canteen contractor. He, in turn, approached the activists of Jamaat Islami and Sunni Tehrik for support, with the accusation that the principal Ms. Aasama Farooqi committed blasphemy in a pamphlet. The mullas took out a big procession and mounted an attack on the school. They claimed that the ‘blasphemer’ principal was a Qadiani (which she is surely not). An Ahmadi family however resides next to the school and the mullas assembled in front of their residence. This family spent a wakeful night in great fear."

Lynch Mob kills and burns in Dadu (December 21, 2012)

A man was killed for allegedly burning Quran in the Barelvi-inclined Memon Masjid area in Sita village near Dadu, Sindh.

http://www.dawn.com/in-depth/who-is-mad/
"The incident occurred in Sita village in the Dadu district. An unknown man was held in the lock-up at the village police station because he had allegedly burnt copies of the Quran in the village mosque. A mob attacked the police station and pushed the apprehended man down from a two-storey building, they then dragged him two to three kilometres outside the town. Over there, they beat him with sticks, bricks and stones to death. When satiated, they set fire to his body."......
"The wadera of the village had recently joined PML-F and had been an opponent of the PPP. On the other hand, a local PPP leader, Farzand Arjumand was also among those responsible for stirring up ‘religious honour’ in retaliation against the suspected kafir amongst the villagers. He had sent out text messages to the villagers, inciting their religious honour and had encouraged them to murder the mad traveller for insulting the Holy Quran by saying that not only was it the most Islamic thing to do under the circumstances but would also help them all attain a position amongst the blessed. What political objectives they really had, could only be known by the police if a Minister from Dadu was not protecting the local PPP leader. Amongst the whispers within the village, it has also been heard that the wadera had blamed the local leadership of the PPP for the incident, accusing it of conspiring to harm the political reputation of his party. It has also been noticed that the police made arrests very quickly but then behaved leniently with the PPP workers amongst the arrested. Subsequently, the local wadera got many of the arrested released on bail."

Dec 23, 2012:  "At a separate protest in Sita Road town, located some eight kilometres from the two villages, demonstrators stressed more on finding out the identity of the deceased than condemning his murder. Led by local political, social and trade representatives, they demanded immediate release of the arrested people, a halt of police crackdown and disclosure of the identity of the alleged blasphemer. “The police have gone on a rampage,” said Sunni Tehreek’s leader, Syed Tameer Shah while addressing the protesters. “They are victimising entire villages for the acts of just 15 to 20 men.” They warned that they would carry their protests to other towns and cities if police did not stop the crackdown."

March 17, 2013: "In the Joseph Colony, a Christian neighbourhood nestled in the centre of the semi-industrial zone of Badami Bagh, Lahore, Sawan Masih, 28, was accused of uttering blasphemous remarks against Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He was arrested and yet there was ransacking and burning of more than 170 houses, shops and two churches on March 9 in the presence of a heavy contingent of police."
"A senior police officer, asking not to be named, says intelligence units have come to know that traders not only displayed provocative banners but also mobilised communities and local mosques on this issue. There were announcements in the local mosques and the activists of defunct Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan, now working as Ahl-e-Sunah-Wal-Jamaat (ASWJ), and workers of Sunni Tehrik, a hardline Barelvi Sunni faction, were also actively involved in these protests."

http://herald.dawn.com/news/1153061
"Out of curiosity, she started asking her customers as to why there was so much screaming, shouting and name calling. They told her that Saawan had made fun of Islam. Among the mob outside in front of her shop she could spot Ghazali Butt, a PMLN leader, and Asad Ashraf, a former member of the Punjab Assembly, along with many men in green turbans. Their presence was reassuring for her. “These are influential people; they will control the crowd and everything will fizzle out,” she recalls telling herself. But the crowd pulled out Saawan’s billiard table to set it alight. She saw two young men purchasing petrol from a nearby shop for the purpose."

http://tribune.com.pk/story/519964/joseph-colony-tragedy-police-failed-to-act-on-first-signs-of-trouble/
"March 13, 2013: Since both Masih and Imran were drunk during the fight, two other alleged eyewitnesses were brought into play. Shafiq, one of the major accomplices of Imran along with a local Sunni Tehreek activist registered an FIR as eyewitnesses. The cleric of the area’s mosque, Qari Saifullah, was informed of the alleged blasphemy."

http://www.christianpost.com/news/islamic-mob-destroys-christian-area-of-lahore-outrage-as-pakistan-officials-arrest-christians-91670/
"Back at Joseph Colony, mobs ransacked Masih's house and demanded registration of a case against him. At the local police station, meantime, members of the Sunni Tehreek, a religio-political Sunni Muslim group, also arrived and presented two witnesses, identified as Shafiq and Iftikhar.
"They claimed that Masih had blasphemed in their presence," the official said. "By then we had begun to doubt the veracity of the charge as the witnesses were revealed after several hours of the alleged incident, but the situation was such that we had to register a case against Masih [FIR No. 112/13] under Section 295-C to prevent further violence and religious strife," he said."

Ziaul Haq Naqshbandi, spokesperson for Tahaffuz-i-Namoos-i-Risalat Mahaz, said that he was heartened by how many groups were planning to mark the day. “Seeing the number of Khatm-i-Nabuwat conferences this year … it seems that the lovers of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) have joined hands against those trying to negate the concept of the finality of the Prophet. Soon, there will be a time when there is no room for apostates.”
These Khatm-i-Nabuwat conferences usually consist of various maulvis giving speeches calling for social boycott of Ahmadis, their removal from Sunni Muslim neighbourhoods, and even for their murder as a source of blessings from Allah.
Munawwar Ali Shahid, a member of the Ahmadi community in Lahore, told The Express Tribune that almost 40 years since the anti-Ahmadi riots that preceded the passage of the Second Amendment, this was perhaps the worst time for the community in Lahore. Referring to the 1974 riots, he said: “We were boycotted, our worship places and houses were destroyed. All sorts of damage was done. The current surge in anti-Ahmadi feeling is reminiscent of that atmosphere in 1974.”....

"September 8, 2013: At the Markazi Khatm-i-Nabuwat Conference in Johar Town, Ruet-i-Halal Committee Chairman Mufti Muneebur Rehman said that he and his followers were prepared to make sacrifices for Khatm-i-Nabuwat. He alleged that Ahmadis were involved in “suspicious activities” and “serious measures” were needed against them....Maulana Muhammad Azam Naeemi said there was a need to mobilise the common man against Ahmadis. Maulana Raghib Hussain Naeemi termed Ahmadis and their leaders “stooges of the West”. Pir Muhibullah Noori, caretaker of Baseerpur, said that Ahmadis should be banished from Pakistan. He told the audience that if they truly loved the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), they would not let Ahmadis live their lives freely.
Allama Raza-i-Mustafa said Ahmadis should be chased till death. Justice (retired) Mian Nazeer Akhtar said that the time for speeches against Ahmadis was over and it was now time to do something practical. He said everyone should play their role against Ahmadis to tighten the noose around them.
The participants in the conference passed a resolution demanding a ban on Ahmadi publications and legal action against their publishers; the removal of all Ahmadis from government jobs; government-sponsored celebrations of September 7 at a national level; and for the introduction of a new oath of office for holders of important posts affirming that the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was the last prophet."

Exhumation of Bhoro Bheel (October 2013)

A Hindu Dalit, Bhoro Bheel, was exhumed from Haji Faqeer graveyard in Badin, Sindh. A Barelvi cleri, Qari Abdul Basit, the adminsitator of Jamia Hanafia Sultan-ul-Madaris, instigated local Muslims to take this action. Members of other religious groups (including Sipah Sahaba) and Pir Pagara's PML-F also took part in this act.

http://www.humanrights.asia/news/urgent-appeals/AHRC-UAC-133-2013
Oct 9, 2013: "The local Muslim religious leaders tried to instigate the other Muslims by announcing on the loudspeakers of the mosque that a non-Muslim was buried in a Muslim graveyard, pleading that it was against the teaching of Islam to allow a non-Muslim to be buried alongside Muslims in the same graveyard. These religious fundamentalists also invited the students of various Madressas, (Muslim seminaries) from nearby towns like Jhuddo and Matli, who came armed with sophisticated weapons and posed a great danger to the law and order situation of the area. They later led the mob to the graveyard, exhumed the body and then dragged it to a road side where it was dumped. The body remained there for over eight hours until the relatives buried the corpse in another place.

A Muslim cleric has also issued a Fatwa, a Muslim declaration, that Hindus cannot be buried in the Muslim graveyards to justify the act of hooliganism against Hindus. Please find in the present appeal the picture of the Fatwa issued by a Muslim cleric sitting in Faisalabad, Punjab province."

The fatwa states that Hindus are not allowed to be buried in Muslim graveyard and it is permissible to exhume a Hindu buried in a Muslim graveyard.

Speaking at a press conference at the Hyderabad Press Club on Monday, local PML-F leader Mohammad Peeral Khoso, Maulvi Mohammad Mithan Khoso, Maulvi Abdul Quddus Naqshbandi and leader of Pangrio chapter of Sunni Tehreek Rana Sajid Ali Qadri said the landlord and nationalist parties were defaming Muslims over the burial for their vested interests."

"The crowd had come together through the efforts of one Qari Abdul Basit, the administrator of a madrasa in Pangrio. Working through local mosques, he had distributed a fatwa against the burial of non-Muslims in Muslim graveyards. He also had prayer leaders announce that those who had exhumed Bhoro Bheel’s body had discharged their religious duty and had not committed any crime." ...... 

Sultanul Madaris, a madrasa set up by the settlers, is said to have played a pivotal role in fanning religious emotions over Bhoro Bheel’s burial. In another instance of outside influence, Basit, the madrasa’s administrator, had obtained the fatwa against Bhoro Bheel’s burial from a madarasa in Faisalabad."

Oct 20, 2014: Activists of "Labaik Ya Rasool Allah" unit of Tehreek-Tahafuzz-Islam Pakistan (a Barelvi group) forcefully prevent the burial of an Ahmadi in the Muslim graveyard in Fatehpur, Dist. Gujrat, Punjab, and demanded a separate graveyard for Ahmadis.

http://www.pressahmadiyya.com/2015/02/persecution-newsletter-february-2015.html
October 20, 2014:  Religious clerics opposed an Ahmadi Muslim being buried in a public graveyard in Fatehpur, Gujarat on 20th October 2014. On the morning of the burial, several announcements were made from non-Ahmadi mosques insulting Ahmadi Muslims and asking the public to assemble at the graveyard. The Ahmadi Muslims in the village offered various solutions which were all rejected by the non-Ahmadis. However, police allotted land in the afternoon for the Ahmadi Muslim’s burial to take place. 

Despite the settlement of the dispute, Basharat Jatt, an opponent of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, invited a cleric, Saqib Shakeel Jalali, and held an event to incite the locals against the Ahmadi Muslims, pressing for a boycott of Ahmadi Muslims and taking actions against the Ahmadi Muslim mosque. As a result of this, an Ahmadi Muslim mosque in nearby Mahmoodabad was attacked and damaged on the day of the burial.

“November 5, 2014: We have arrested 44 people, it was a local issue incited by the mullah of a local mosque,” Jawad Qamar, a regional police chief, told Reuters.“No particular sectarian group or religious outfit was behind the attack,” Qamar added.

 http://www.dawn.com/news/1151374
"DEC 17, 2014 Police has already arrested Maulvi Mohammad Hussain, whereas Maulvi Noorul Hassan and Maulvi Arshad Baloch are still at large. All the three allegedly made announcements in adjoining villages that the couple was guilty of blasphemy."

The local cleric, Maulvi Mohammad Hussain, who instigated the mob, appears to be a Barelvi as he had hosted a prominent Barelvi scholar, Muhammad Khadim Hussain Rizvi, for an urs for Ilm Din just few days before the incident.

http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2015/6/20/blasphemy-in-pakistan-anatomy-of-a-lynching.html 
"Meanwhile, about a mile away from the kiln, in the narrow, red-brick lanes of the village, preparations were underway for a grand celebration as local clerics prepared to welcome Muhammad Khadim Hussain Rizvi, a well-known Barelvi Muslim scholar, to an Urs, a traditional South Asian celebration of the life and works of men considered to be Sufi saints. This event, organized by a religious political party, honored Ilmuddin, a Muslim man from Lahore who, in one of the most high-profile blasphemy cases ever to occur in then-undivided India, stabbed to death the publisher of a religiously charged pamphlet titled Rangeela Rasul (The Promiscuous Prophet) in 1929."

...."What is unclear is who decided to take the matter to Muhammad Hussain, the local maulvi (cleric). Just four days earlier, Hussain had hosted the Urs for Ilmuddin. Over the course of the night, the news of the alleged desecration spread, and maulvis from nearby villages planned to announce the allegation during the morning prayer, offered just before 6 a.m. According to interviews with witnesses and police, and the police report filed after the attack, the maulvis prepared a fatwa, calling for those who desecrated the Quran “to be burned the same way that they burned the [holy book].”" =====================

Nov. 29, 2014: In a local newspaper "Attock News", Sunni Tehreek leaders praise Attock administration for arresting Tahir Naeemi. They said they could kill the culprit themselves but relied on administration to arrest the culprit and appealed to the people to remain peaceful. They demanded the culprit's challan form to be submitted as soon as possible and the culprit be hanged. They alleged that Qadianis and foreign powers wanted to repeal the blasphemy law in Pakistan.

https://www.persecutionofahmadis.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/News-Report-January-2015.pdf
"A non-Ahmadi teacher, Tahir Naeemi, said something objectionable in his class of Islamic Studies in Punjab College, Attock. The issue was raised in a leaflet and circulated in the city, and on the internet too with the following statement: “The punishment for the blasphemer of Prophet (p.b.u.h.) is decapitation. A peaceful protest against the blasphemer of the Prophet (p.b.u.h.), accursed Tahir, will start from Fountain Square.” It was wrongly mentioned that Tahir is from the Ahmadiyya community. Opponents of the Ahmadiyya community took out a rally in Attock city. It covered a distance of 6 kilometers from Attock City to Punjab College on Kamra Road, and chanted slogans against the community. They also created an uproar outside the Punjab College. Later Tahir offered his explanation to the administration and the police. However, on the basis of this incident, the administration discharged two Ahmadi teachers i.e. Mr. Raheel Anjum (Rawalpindi College of Commerce, Kamra Cantt) and Mr. Ahmad Saeed (Allied School, Punjab College Attock City) from their jobs. This action makes no sense, except that the denominational identity of the two teachers was considered inconvenient by the administration."

PESHAWAR: A religious scholar, Maulana Pir Mohammad Chishti, Tuesday arranged a funeral in absentia here for the two brothers who attacked the Paris-based magazine, Charlie Hebdo.He paid rich tribute to Chérif Kouachi and Saïd Kouachi for sacrificing their lives and killing those involved in committing blasphemy.

Pir Mohammad Chishti is the provincial patron-in-chief of the Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) led by the Canada-based Dr Tahirul Qadri. He runs the Ghousia Madrassa in Peshawar’s Yakatoot area.

The cleric, who originally belongs to Chitral and is based in Peshawar, said it was his personal wish to pay tribute to the two Muslim brothers by arranging a funeral in absentia for them.

“It was my personal decision and I am so happy I did whatever was possible in my personal capacity,” Pir Mohammad Chishti told The News after leading the funeral prayers at a public park adjacent to the sprawling Arbab Niaz Cricket Stadium.

Chérif and Saïd Kouachi attacked the French satirical magazine’s Paris office last Wednesday killing 12 persons, including a number of cartoonists and others. The two were slain during a siege by the police on Friday.

Pir Mohammad Chishti, however, couldn’t attract many people at the funeral. The funeral was delayed for an hour as they expected more people to join them. The cleric, however, said the funeral was delayed for his three friends coming from Rawalpindi for the funeral prayers.

Around 20 people, mostly madrassa students, attended the funeral.

“Today we feel so proud to attend the funeral of our brothers,” said Pir Mohammad Chishti, adding they are the heroes of Islam.

“They laid down their lives but eliminated those who committed blasphemy against our Prophet (PBUH),” he said.

He said he had no political purpose by organising the funeral but being a Muslim he thought it was his duty to do so. - See more at: http://www.thenews.com.pk/print/18339-20-attend-paris-attackers-funeral-prayers-in-absentia#sthash.XnyicKSA.dpuf

April 26, 2010 Counter terrorism specialist of the Karachi police force Raja Umer Khattab informs that all Jihadi groups involved in terrorism, including the Tehrik Taliban Pakistan, SSP, Lashkkar-e-Jhangvi, Jaishe Muhammad, and Jundullah are ideologically Deobandi or Wahabi. “Barelvi groups like the ST too have a tendency for sectarian violence, but they act in reaction and have to date been involved in incidents like taking over a rival sect’s mosque etc.”"

http://tribune.com.pk/story/590211/fighting-terrorism-3/
In fact, there are Barelvi militants as well linked with the shrine of Sultan Bahu that have fought in Kashmir alongside Deobandi groups like Jaish-e-Mohammad and others. What continues to keep Sufism and Barelvism relatively peaceful is that state actors have not actively exploited it."
...
"In fact, the pirs have begun to partner with the militants for enhancing material gains and power. This is certainly the case in Punjab and Sindh where pirs and puritans coexist (interestingly, some of the prominent pirs of Punjab were falling over each other to participate in Ghazi Abdul Rasheed of Lal Masjid’s funeral).

Barelvi intolerance in UK

http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/bradford-witnesses-blazing-protest-against-salman-rushdie/1/323231.html
March 15, 1989: Meanwhile, inside one of Bradford's 37 mosques two groups of children study the Koran. After returning from school in the evenings, it's here that they gather for lessons in Islam. They are encouraged to recite the text aloud by the two young imams instructing them. The girls sit in a separate hall, and it could be a madrasa in any town of the subcontinent. But it isn't of course. It's the Shearbridge Road Mosque, on the edge of a tree-lined, cobbled Bradford bylane.
As the girls - between five and 13 years - rush through their lessons, Imam Masud Ahmed Qadri, suddenly asks them in Urdu: "Children, have you heard of Salman Rushdie?" They reply in a chorus of affirmation. "So what do you think should be done with him?" he asks. After a minute's pregnant silence, several hands shoot up. "Chop his hands off," replies Safina Khan, 13, in English. "Hang him - he's written wrong things about the Koran," adds Azra Bibi, 12. However extreme that may sound it is nonetheless an indication of how inflamed Muslim passions are. Says Hussein emphatically: "We will not take the law in our hands. But one thing is clear: Rushdie will never lead a normal life, even if the book is withdrawn."

Oct 26, 2006: A gay rights campaigner has accused an Imam of saying the execution of gay Muslims to stop the spread of disease is "for the common good of man".

Dr John Casson visited Arshad Misbahi, the Imam at Manchester Central Mosque, to discuss concerns over the execution of homosexual Muslims in Iran.

Dr Casson said the comments were made in a private meeting but he wrote them down afterwards.

The Imam did not deny the comments but said he had been misinterpreted.

Mr Misbahi said he was only talking about the Islamic perspective on homosexuality and stressed he would make a statement later on Thursday.

Dec 29, 2006:  She was presented by Channel 4 as an authentic - but anonymous - voice of moderate British Islam. And on Christmas Day the veiled woman described only as "Khadijah" was given a national televison platform for propagating her views in an "alternative Christmas message" designed to rival the Queen's. She told viewers Jack Straw was wrong to criticise the veil, claiming concealing facial features "liberated" women.

....

Atkinson, a mother of one, was approached by Channel 4 to give the controversial alternative Christmas message after the original veiled woman chosen, Khadija Ravat, a 33-year-old islamic teacher, withdrew because of negative publicity. Channel 4 said it would be veiling her true identity, along with her face, to enable viewers to focus on her words instead of her personality. 

....

Atkinson went on, in an essay published on the Internet for fellow muslims: "When I see large numbers of non-believers I feel very sad for them as they remind me of rats or gerbils in cages going round and round on a treadmill, believing that they are fulfilling their sole purpose in life and reaching their true destiny (which is Argos). 

"If only they could uncover their eyes and see the damage they cause themselves and to their children. 

"I feel certain that if they were to have a tiny glimpse of what Islam could give them there would be Mosques on every corner instead of pubs."

She works for the radical Minhaj ul Qur'an group from its UK base at a mosque in nearby Forest Gate - running a "sisters' group" for other female muslims, travelling the country making converts, and broadcasting on Asian local radio stations.

Contrary to her claims of being moderate, at an Islamic conference in Sheffield this year Atkinson told fellow muslims it was morally wrong to listen to any sort of music, or to watch soap operas. She urged the conference to stop watching any television at all.

In a statement issued through Channel 4, Atkinson said last night: "Minhaj-ul-Quran is a spiritual movement which promotes peace and tolerance of other faiths. It is against all forms of extremism and radicalism whether religious or otherwise."

January 1, 2011: [Maulana Shahid Raza Naeemi (Barelvi)] “First of all, I’d like to say that Muslims are not seeking the introduction of all the aspects of the Sharia law, particularly the criminal law aspects, in the UK. This is not a Muslim country and we’re not seeking to change or convert this country into one.

“However, Sharia law says that if a Muslim changes their religion it is treason and the punishment for treason is death. It’s interpreted as treason because in Muslim countries the law of the land is Sharia law, although at the moment there is not one single country in the world which has full Sharia law implemented as civil law.

“Here in this country that punishment is not being demanded or considered at all. If a Muslim takes the law into his or her own hand in this country and gives this punishment it will not be acceptable to the Muslim community in this country.

“I should also add that the children and wife of the person who converted from Islam would remain as free respected members of society.”

January 20, 2011:  A Birmingham Imam has said that Muslims should not fight in the British armed forces on conscientious grounds due to their presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. Shaykh Asrar Rashid, a visiting cleric at the city's mosques, also told the BBC the Queen was "a disgusting woman" for knighting author Salman Rushdie.
In 1989 Iran's leaders called for the death of Mr Rushdie for writing The Satanic Verses, deemed "blasphemous".  The Muslim Council of Britain said the Imam's views were not representative.  Mr Rashid, who was arrested during a Hajj Pilgrimage last summer, lives in Sparkbrook in Birmingham and preaches in mosques around the city.

January 20, 2012: "Three Muslim men have been found guilty of stirring up hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation after distributing a leaflet that said Islam called for anyone caught committing homosexuality to be executed." ... "The leaflet was handed out outside and near the Jamia Mosque in Derby's Rosehill Street and in streets around the local neighbourhood in July 2010. It was made and used as part of a campaign to publicise a protest in response to the Gay Pride parade due to be held in Derby on July 10 that year."

Feb 16, 2013: "Britain's most senior Muslim MP has received death threats after voting in favour of gay marriage. Police have told Sadiq Khan, Labour’s Shadow Justice Secretary, that the threats are credible enough that he should review the security around him and his family following the Commons vote......  Mr Khan – who became Britain’s first Muslim Minister to attend Cabinet in the last Government – has been condemned by British-based hardline clerics, who have accused him of ‘selling out’ his religion. Mufti Muhammed Aslam Naqshbandi Bandhalevi, who is the head imam of the Jamia Islamia Rizvia mosque in Bradford, has issued a fatwa, or ruling, declaring Mr Khan an ‘apostate’ from Islam and said he should ‘repent before Allah’. Some veiled threats against all the Muslim MPs who backed gay marriage are visible online."

"Muhammad Masood Qadiri, who presents a weekly programme on Ummah TV, available via Sky TV, told his Facebook followers: “The Great Hero of Islam Ghazi Mumtaz Hussain Qadiri has been martyred.” He then announced he would fly to Pakistan that day to attend the funeral."

"What of Europe’s largest mosque? Surely they would have some responsibility in denouncing both the blasphemy law and subsequent murder of those under that law.

Ghazi Tanveer Attari from MirPur Azad Kashmir currently residing in Scotland has killed Liar Asad Qadiani and send him to hell who claimed to be a Prophet. Asad Qadiani was a News agent and also owned a General Store and many people were attached with him. Asad Qadiani also used to accept and declare Kufria – Non Islamic beliefs of christians to be right. That is why british establishment gave him high protocol. Ghazi Tanveer Attari entered his shop and got on him and stabbed him 30 times in his chest and sent him to hell. European Media is publishing wrong name of Ghazi Tanveer as Muhammad Faisal. He is arrested at the moment and his martial status is married and also has a son. May Allah Protect him. Aameen. The blasphemer was killed on 24th march.

Why Tanveer Qadri killed Asad Shah?

https://www.rabwah.net/khatm-e-nabuwat-dawat-e-islami-linked-to-murder-of-ahmadiyya-muslim-asad-shah/
"On Tuesday March 29th, Tanveer Ahmed, from Bradford appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court charged with the murder of Asad Shah. Police did not reveal much details about the killer but extremists were quick to own the killer as someone who had ‘sent a an apostate to hell‘. Social media posts mostly from Pakistan flooded Facebook and Twitter calling him #GhaziTanveer (Warrior Tanveer).
......
Dawat-e-Islami extremists also shared Tanveer’s Facebook profile which uses the name ‘Tanveer Attari Qadri al Husaini‘ in Urdu and is filled with facebook posts praising killer Mumtaz Qadri and Dawat-e-Islami. The practice of adding Attari and Qadri to one’s name is common among Dawat-e-Islami members. Taveer’s Facebook posts from March 24th, the day of the killing are all in praise of different individuals who killed blasphemers. His last post is in praise of Mumtaz Qadri.  The only TV channel he has liked on his Facebook profile is Madani Channel, which is run by Dawat-e-Islami from the town of Rochdale, UK. The same town made headlines in 2012 after child sex grooming activities of a Pakistani gang came to light.
Dawat-e-Islami’s website describes Ahmadis as Kafir (Infidel) and Murtad (Apostates) and even goes to say that those who disagree are also Kafir (Infidels). The website further says:

Anyone who believes in a Prophet after Muhammad, It doesn’t matter if they are  Ahmadi or not are Murtad (Apostates) and they will be subject to the conditions of Murtads (Apostates). Source

As to the what conditions the Apostates are subject to, Dawat-e-Islami website has a whole section in Urdu language explaining why the punishment for Apostasy is Death, the website further explains a Blasphemer is also an Apostate and hence WajibulQatal (worthy of death). In addition the website states that it is allowed to use force to prevent a person from leaving Islam.

In a program which was aired by Madani TV Cannel, Dawat-e-Islami’s founder Molana Ilyas Qadri decalred that punishment for Blasphemy is death and if an individual kills a Blasphemer he should not be punished.

https://www.facebook.com/umaralqadri/posts/805840299548975:0
"The shocking fact is that the murderer of Asad Shah also belongs to Barailvi Sunni organisation Dawat e Islami.
Tanveer Ahmad said that he received Faiz (sic) from Mumtaz Qadri in his dream and then knew he had to kill Asad Shah. He also contacted Malik Dilpazeer, brother of Mumtaz, prior to killing seeking his blessings.
Muslims must stand against this extremism also and not just against Daesh."

April 14, 2016:  Former imam Qari Mahmood, 38, and Khalid Iqbal Malik, 43, who attend Lea Bridge Road mosque in Leyton, hailed killer Mumtaz Qadri “a hero” and “a martyr”.   Qadri was convicted of killing Punjab governor Salman Taseer after shooting him 28 times over his support for liberal reforms of blasphemy laws in 2011.  In an online video published last month, hours after Qadri’s funeral following his state execution, Mr Mahmood, of Waltham Forest, hails him “a hero” and blesses his “martyrdom”.  He adds: “We are praying to Allah that he will grant us the same martyrdom... this is a man who loves God and his Prophet.

May 7, 2016: "Maulana Shahid Raza Naeemi OBE publicly stated that: “Sharia law says that if a Muslim changes their religion it is treason and the punishment for treason is death.” He was also one of the main speakers at a Khatme Nabuwwat conference held in 1999, when he said that “meeting with Ahmadis is more venomous than drugs.”
......
On the 15th of April, police had to ask Slough’s Jamia Masjid Ghousia (Diamond Road branch) to remove yet another poster urging the boycott of Ahmadi businesses from it’s premises. Last week, it emerged that Qari Hanif Qureshi, the hate preacher who called for the death of ex-Punjabi governor Salmaan Taseer for challenging the country’s blasphemy laws, spoke on May 4 at Luton mosque as part of an event at the Jamia Islamia Ghousia Trust. He also spoke at the same mosque last September, as part of it’s “36th Annual Khatme Nabuwwat conference”.  For those in doubt, this chilling video of him speaking at another Khatme Nabuwwat conference shows him rousing a crowd to chant “Kafir” each time he uses the derogatory term “Mirzai” to describe Ahmadis. He demands that Ahmadis are boycotted in business and social life – and the only exception? Sunni men, who should do everything in their power to persuade Ahmadi women to convert and marry them."

10 Nov 2016:

British Muslim leaders have called on Britain to declare Ahmadis ‘non-Muslim’, the sentiments were expressed at an event held in Luton.

The event which took place at Jamia Islamia Ghosia was attended by Imams, Councillors, and Muslim community leaders from across Britain . The speakers urged the British Government to stop considering Ahmadis as Muslims since they rejected the mainstream Islamic view of ‘KhatmeNabuwat’ or Finality of Prophethood.
