Tarnishing Islam’s image part of America’s terror war: Siraj

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

NOWSHERA: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Amir Sirajul Haq on Monday claimed that tarnishing the image of Islam and Muslims was a part of the United States and Europe led war on terrorism.

Speaking at a ceremony here, he urged upon the need for internal harmony and unity to defeat the ‘enemy’ and to attain an ‘ultimate domination of the religion’.

Haq said that a campaign was being run against Islamic madrassahs to complete the ‘American agenda’.

The JI chief cited differences between religious outfits and different examination boards as the main reason behind prevailing rifts within Muslims.

Commenting on multiple education systems in the country, he said teachers in some educational institutions do not even have chalks and rugs for the class rooms. On the other hand, he added that examinations are being conducted through Oxford University in some.

The Jamaat chief said that not a single penny gets allocated in the budget by governments for over 300,000 children getting education in Islamic seminaries across the country.

Curious. I don't think the U.S. is doing what JI claimes but could JI be on to something here? Is "tarnishing the image of Islam" necessary for Pakistan's battle against terror?

Muslims do a good job of tarnishing their own reputation
