Drawing distinction between jehad and terror, Muslim clerics belonging to the country’s best known Islamic seminary ‘Darul Uloom, Deoband,’ resolved to fight terrorism and distanced themselves from all kinds of terror activities. They also regretted that Muslims across the world were being branded as terrorists.
The congregation drew a distinction between "jehad" and terrorism saying while the former "is basically a constructive phenomena", terror is "based on destruction alone".
The resolution adopted at the two-day national session of Jamiat-Ulema-I-Hind (JUH) in New Delhi strongly condemned efforts being made to link Islam with terrorism and made it clear that Islam did not allow killing of innocent people or disturbing peace in any manner. It said 'jehad' and terrorism were "poles apart".
Jehad is permitted only for restoring peace and is a fundamental right of a human being, they added.
The Jamiat said it was against any kind of terrorist activity and was ready to combat the menace with the help of others.
