Stiff Opposition to Tamil Nadu Muslim Preacher Jainul Abideen's Visit to Lanka -The New Indian Express

The Sri Lankan government is likely to deny entry to Moulvi P Jainul Abideen, better known as PJ, the founder and star speaker of the fundamentalist Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath (TNTJ), the New Indian Express news agency reported today.


A powerful section of Lankan Muslims who fear that PJ’s presence in the island will disturb intra-Muslim and inter-religious harmony are putting pressure on the government to cancel his visa. Earlier in 2005, PJ was deported on the same grounds.


PJ had been invited by the Sri Lanka Thawheed Jamaat (SLTJ) for the release of the Sinhala translation of the Koran on November 8.


The All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama (ACJU) issued a statement appealing to the SLTJ not to send PJ in the interest of peace and communal harmony. Some went to the court alleging that the Sinhala translation has grievous flaws and sought an injunction. Express learns that the Defence Secretary has advised the immigration authorities to review his case in the light of the objections.


PJ is not liked by sections of Lankan Muslims because he is campaigning against certain popular practices which he considers un-Islamic.


For example he is against worship of graves of saints (dargas). He expresses sharp views against Muslim sects like the Ahmadiyas and Shias.


His opponents allege that the Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath and Sri Lanka Thawheed Jamaat have accepted crores of rupees from Saudi Arabia for spreading Wahabi Islam. Others accuse him of criticising nearly a hundred Hadiths (sayings of Prophet Mohammad).


But the Sri Lanka Thawheed Jamaat General Secretary R Abdur Razik says that PJ, Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath and SLTJ are only promoting true Islam, unadulterated by non-Islamic influences.


Razik has challenged the All Ceylon Jamayyathul Ulama to an open debate on this. He asks why the ACJU has never protested against the arrival of non-Muslim preachers or preachers from various Muslim sects like the Ahmadiyas, Bohras and Shias. Why target only PJ? And there are also Muslims who say that as Lanka is a democracy with freedom of expression, PJ should not be barred.


It is not clear as to which view has majority support among Lankan Muslims, but what is undeniable is that some politically influential people are against PJ and his brand of Islam. (New India Express)

Very very well done Sri Lanka. I appreciate this. Fanatics and terrorists deserve no place in society and should not be able to voice takfiri views. Declaring one sect or people apostate is the work of the Taliban. They use this exact same logic to declare others non muslim no matter how religious they may be and then wage war against them. Sri Lankan Muslims are indeed some of the most smartest muslims in the world. For one they are a rare example of being economically superior to their counter parts in the country when muslims around the world from Rwanda to Central Africa Republic or Chad are dirt poor.

Good work again.

what parts of his speeches make them "fiery" ?


you meant orthodox, not unorthodox, right ?

he should be kicked out of an airplane 38,000 feet above peshawar, without a parachute.

Oops. Edited. He has opposition in TN from other Muslim organisations. They simply cannot accept deviations from original Islam aka Wahabbi Islam. Its very popular among Indian workers in the Gulf.

this gulf-kerala nexus spreading all over the deccan is bad news, this ideology is dangerous and should be stamped out and replaced with the peaceful barelvi sufi school of thought.

I don't know whether PJ is really a radical or not.. I have seen him in one of the debates with a christian organisation under the title "whether bible is god's word or quran is god's word"... In my view he doesn't seems to be a radical, but he seems to be against shi'a ideologies.

 

[Stag112]

this..


... deobandi ideology is a corruption and the corruption being bringing brahminical hindu thought into islam.

...in africa and syria, whether "hizb ut tahrir" in russia, china and central asia, whether jemah "islamiya" of south east asia, all these groups are either directly or semi-directly derived from deobandi ideology... in essence, deobandism is more brahminical hinduism than islam.

so i would accept people blaming india for most of the "muslim" terrorism in the world.

Hindu hating Islamist terrorism apologist spotted.

 

[jamahir]

how so, what exactly is this "brahmin ideology" you speak of anyway, and what parallels do you see with the taliban's Islamic ideology ?

you say that about the Iranians and Sauds too, so who exactly is a "true muslim" then, ataturk, nasser, gaddafi and the al assads ?


is there any place on earth where they actually practice "true islam" as you know it to be ?

allow me until tomorrow to answer this.

Hindu hating Islamist terrorism apologist spotted.

it is your own bigotry that makes you see me that way.

one of my first posts on pdf was calling for a post-religion communist humanity.

how can you judge others when you are not removed of reactionary tendencies??

and i disagree with the bbc definition of islamist.

 

[Barrel-Bomba]

allow me until tomorrow to answer this.

ok

my first posts on pdf was calling for a post-religion communist humanity.

Apex body of Muslim theologians says no to foreign extremists
November 11, 2015, 9:52 pm

By Mohamed Haniff


Attempts by foreign elements to disturb the peace enjoyed by Sri Lankan Muslims will be defeated using maximum legitimate force, a top official of the Apex body of Muslim theologians said yesterday.


"We will do our best to maintain co-existence with all communities in Sri Lanka and strongly protest against any organisation trying to create chaos in an existing peaceful climate," Moulavi Fazil Farook of the All Ceylon Jammiyathul Ulama (ACJU) told The Island.


He said a leader of the Indian Thowheed Jamaath, a group which claims to propagate "pure Islam," was expected to visit Sri Lanka. "He visited Sri Lanka in 2005 and created disputes between the Muslims and other communities and misunderstandings amongst the Muslims. He was deported at that time and the same person is trying to come back here."


"The ACJU has several objectives and two stand out—promoting co-existence with all communities and strengthening unity amongst the Muslim community," the Moulavi said.


"We have taken all precautions and urged those concerned to stop him setting foot on Sri Lankan soil", Moulavi Farook said.


Sri Lanka was considered by the Muslim world as a model where Muslims live amicably with all communities, he said.

Would much prefer it if Tamil Nadu collectively bit a cyanide capsule.

Tells about ur racist bigotry. Even countries smaller than Sri Lanka are having more ethnic mixes and leaving happily.
Some cant make peace with the fact that Tamils have a uninterrupted history of more than 2000 years in that Island.
SL should have been merged with India in 47. The war and ethnic strife wouldnt have come at all. Idiot british.

Would you like some cheese with your whine? Look at the bigotry, misogyny, racism, casteism that is rampant in Tamil Nadu before pointing fingers at others. You even have a culture of murdering the elderly:

Thalaikoothal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And murdering baby girls.

And marrying dogs:

Man 'marries' dog to beat curse

Tamils certainly do have a history in Sri Lanka - as invaders, looters, thieves and more recently as terrorists.

There wouldn't have been any "war and ethnic strife" if Tamils just stayed in Tamil Nadu instead of invading Sri Lanka and trying to steal Sinhalese land and claim it as their own.

Why would they? Tamilian armies were powerfull enough to conquer Lanka, even SE Asia, till the Ganges in the North.

So we do not need losers to tell us where to live and where not to.

After all Sinhalese were in marital alliances with the Pandyas from time immorial. So talk of peace later.
