LAHORE: At least 50 Islamic scholars belonging to Sunni Ittehad Council on Thursday declared Talibans attack on Pakistani childrens rights activist Malala Yousafzai as un-Islamic, DawnNews reported.
Sunni Ittehad Council represents Barelvi sect of Islam which is influenced by Sufism and defends the traditional Sufi practices from the criticisms of Islamic movements like the Deobandi, Wahhabi and Ahl al-Hadith.
The scholars issued a combined fatwa (Islamic ruling) in Lahore which said that the Talibans interpretation of Islam was incorrect and was deviant from the actual interpretation of the Shariah.
The fatwa added that Taliban were misguided and their mindset was driven by ignorance.
Islam does not stop women from acquiring education and by attacking Malala the Taliban have crossed the limits of Islam, the fatwa added.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had regarded the sanctity of Muslims life and property more important than the sanctity of the Kaaba (sacred Muslim place), adding that the fatwa stated, Murder of one innocent human being is equivalent to murder of entire humanity.
The Islamic ruling added that United States was the enemy of Islam and Pakistan; any kind of cooperation with the US was not in compliance with the Shariah.
In response to Talibans interpretation of killing females for the greater good of the religion, the scholars said that Islam discourages killing of the females. Adding that, they said, Even apostate women are not allowed to be killed in Islam.
The assassination attempt on the life of the young National Peace Award winner has drawn widespread condemnation from the government, political parties and civil society groups, terming it a bid to silent voice for peace and education.
The banned militant organisation Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) had issued a statement Wednesday, using Islamic Shariah to defend the attack.
Pakistani Taliban had said that although they do not believe in attacking women, whom so ever leads a campaign against Islam and Shariah is ordered to be killed by Shariah.
TTP spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan had argued that it is not just allowed but obligatory in Islam to kill such a person involved in leading a campaign against Shariah and (who) tries to involve whole community in such campaign, and that personality becomes a symbol of anti-Shariah campaign.
Malala had won international recognition for highlighting Taliban atrocities in Swat with a blog for the BBC three years ago, when the Islamist militants burned girls schools and terrorised the valley.
Her struggle resonated with tens of thousands of girls who were being denied an education by the militants across northwest Pakistan, where the government has been fighting the local Taliban since 2007.
50 is not enough
50,000 scholars should issue a joint fatwah condemning such barbaric acts of inhuman khawarijites also known as taliban.
We have a strong population of 180 million and most of them are simple and religious people who can be misguided very easily. Every mosque in Pakistan should condemn this act and help the government in developing national consensus against these coward inhuman terrorists
Led By Fazal Kareem another biggest fitna This Fatwa will never work until and unless Pakistan Government and forces stops becoming American toutFifty Muslim scholars issue fatwa against Taliban

LAHORE: At least 50 Islamic scholars belonging to ‘Sunni Ittehad Council’ on Thursday declared Taliban’s attack on Pakistani children’s rights activist Malala Yousafzai as un-Islamic, DawnNews reported.
Sunni Ittehad Council represents ‘Barelvi‘ sect of Islam which is influenced by Sufism and defends the traditional Sufi practices from the criticisms of Islamic movements like the ‘Deobandi’, ‘Wahhabi’ and ‘Ahl al-Hadith’.
The scholars issued a combined ‘fatwa’ (Islamic ruling) in Lahore which said that the Taliban’s interpretation of Islam was incorrect and was deviant from the actual interpretation of the Shariah.
The fatwa added that Taliban were misguided and their mindset was driven by ignorance.
“Islam does not stop women from acquiring education and by attacking Malala the Taliban have crossed the limits of Islam,” the fatwa added.
“Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had regarded the sanctity of Muslim’s life and property more important than the sanctity of the ‘Kaaba’ (sacred Muslim place),” adding that the fatwa stated, “Murder of one innocent human being is equivalent to murder of entire humanity.”

This American tout government is the biggest reason these TTP guys gets support if Army would have stopped becoming American tout and established Islamic Laws and should have stopped drones these things would have never happened50 is not enough

How confident you sound, on what basis? Mushraf interview? I know who went there and my reply is based on what they told when they came back in 2001,not on media and Mushraf whom I do not believe because of several reasons.Please get your facts right ... In an interview Pervaiz Musharraf told media that he sent a few scholars to talk to talibans of Afghanistan because they listen to them and what they do their they ask them to stand against USA we are with you ... So because of these morons we are facing all the fuss ... and yes Afghani talibs has nothing to do with these TTP !@#$%^&* as their Head Mullah Umer condemn them (as per media reports) ...
Mr. Salman you are in need to know that talibs are following Wahabis from the very beginning ... Those who are condemning them are not from any branch of Wahabi sect ...
There is no difference between these mullah and the taliban.
Both of them, consider them selves worthy of declaring "verdicts" be it in the form of a bullet or fatwa.
technically it is the same thing.
Then the Taliban will issue a fatwa against these guys who issued this fatwa.
