RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi terming the Pope’s excuse of his insulting remarks against Islam as insufficient has said that no one could forgive for humiliation of Islam, Rasool-e-Akram (SAAW), and Sha’a’ir-Ullah and the only solution is that Pope Benedict should give up his office, go to his place of worship and seek forgiveness because he has also violated the principles of Christianity and there would remain no need to tighten security around him after he leaves his religious duty.

He stated this while delivering presidential address at a high level emergent meeting of Tehreek Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafariya. He called upon all Muslim States to call back their ambassadors from Vatican as a protest against his insulting remarks. He made it clear that all prophets and messengers from Hazrat Adam (A.S.) to Hazrat Eisa (A.S.) are respectable for us and the names of Hazrat Maryam and Eisa (A.S.) are mentioned in Quran with due devotion and respect that is not visible even in the earlier books. Prophets enjoy the highest status whereas insult even of any common man is not allowed in Islam.

Agha Moosavi said that human being is the topic of Quran and Prophets and these are the source of survival for humanity. He said that it is gathered from the Pope’s statement, that he lacks study of Christianity also besides that of Islam. Despite the provocative attitude of the Pope, we would thwart every effort aimed at creating differences amongst different religions. He said we support every oppressed to whatever creed he belongs to and are enemy of every oppressor.

He said there is need to remove such people from the highest religious offices who fan hatred if we desire to save the world. Persons like Pope Benedict were working in spreading sectarianism but the oppressed nations and the Islamic World has to prove through their deeds that Islam spread through the high character of Rasool (SAAW), Aal-e-Atahaar (A.S.) and pious Sahaba Kubar (R.A.) and not through Kalashnikov or sword, and Islam never committed aggression rather always adopted the policy of peace and have saved humanity.

The TNFJ chief said that President Pervez Musharraf should make it crystal clear in his oncoming address to the General Assembly that a terrorist keeps no religion, faith or a country, but those who link it with any faith or a country themselves are biggest terrorists. He should also make it clear that Pakistan is an Islamic ideological State and atomic power, we do not first step, therefore, all States should remain concerned with their own jobs.

He said pullout of allied forces from Afghanistan and Iraq should be ensured and right of Plebiscite be allowed in Kashmir and Palestine while every thing in Lebanon should be carried out by taking Hezbullah into confidence as the war there has been won by them and Muslims have achieved first success after 700 years. He lamented that Muslim States did not help Hezbullah while Hezbullah encouraged the whole oppressed world, and it would be better if super powers do not tease them further.

Agha Moosavi called upon all Muslim States to mobilize OIC and get veto power for it being a representative body of the Islamic World that may be utilized not for any one State but for the whole world of humanity. He said the United Nations should get help get the oppressed nations and Muslim people their snatched rights restored, and if she cannot do justice and fair-play with Muslims then there is no justification for any Islamic State to become its member.

Commenting on the decision of restoring Pakistan-India dialogue during the President Musharraf’s meeting with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Havana, he said such meetings had been taking place before also and such decisions are taken under pressure. He said we are being punished for being Muslims and Pakistan is the direct target after the defeat and breakage in Russia because being the atomic power, they are deadly against Pakistan.

He said Kashmiris should keep in mind that they themselves have to take a decision, they would have to display courage and bravery on this count because the United Nations is playing as American slave. He reminded that India herself took the Kashmir issue to the United Nations but afterwards was continuously negating the United Nations Resolutions and the Plebiscite. Therefore, he added, the long-standing Kashmir issue should be resolved in the light of the United Nations Resolutions keeping to the desire of the people because any dialogue and meeting would be just waste of time unless these issues are resolved.

The TNFJ chief declaring to blacklist Pakistan by America in the name of violation of religious freedom said, they should put their own house into order to see how much freedom is enjoyed by minorities in America? He said the Islamic World would have to lay down a wise strategy to confront such a situation.

He said complete freedom is enjoyed in Pakistan according to the Constitution the Article 2 of which declares Islam as an official religion of the State. Although governments committed excesses against recognized schools of thought and encroached upon their rights but the State has guaranteed basic rights to all citizens on the basis of equality under the Constitution. He said America, where even the guests coming from outside are searched naked, has no right to interfere in our internal affairs.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Hamid Moosavi strongly condemned non-inclusion of Maktab Tashayyo’s representation in the Select Committee formed to achieve consensus on the Protection of Women’s Rights Bill and said all constitutional norms should be fulfilled and already settled issues should not be disturbed.

He called upon the government to carry out all her work in line with the Constitution and ensure disbursement of rights of all schools of thought on the basis of equality. In this connection, he added, the government should give ideological representation to Maktab-e-Tashayyo in all State departments including media and education, on the basis of equality. He called upon the government to make special protective measures for prayers, Travih, Mahafil-e-Naat and Majalis-e-Aza at mosques and Imambargahs during Ramazan-ul-Mubarik while people themselves should remain alert and prove that oppressed of the world are one and attack on Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan rather on any State is attack on the whole humanity.
