RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi strongly condemned conferment of title of ‘Sir’ to blasphemous Salman Rushdie by British Queen Elizabeth Taylor and termed it an insult to divine religions and the whole humanity.

He was delivering a special address in connection with the “International Ashra-e-Fatimiya” here on Sunday. He said religions consider respect of Mashaheer (heroes) and their signs obligatory and consider insult to anyone of the Khasan-e-Illahi, Mursaleen and pious men of Allah a great sin.

On the other, he added, Satanic and Taghooti forces always utilised and are still utilising all their energy on insulting Mursaleen and Saleheen. Taghoot and their agents including Rushdie (Malaoon) shattered the Islamic World rather the whole humanity by blasphemy but unfortunately Muslim Ummah, international organisations and OIC kept their lips tight. At that time Hazrat Syed Ruhullah Moosavi Al-Khomeini by issuing a decree (fatwa) told the Satanic forces that Rushdie (Malaoon) is Wajib-ul-Qatal because insult of Ambia and Mursaleen whether he is Noah or Ahraham, Moses or Christ, is the insult of Adyan-e-Illahi (divine religions) rather the Zaat-e-Illahi (Allah).

Agha Moosavi said that British Queen Elizabeth by conferring the title of “Sir” on Shatam-ur-Rusl Salman Rushdie has declared that what is being done against Khasan-e-Illahi, Ambia, Mursaleen, Sha’a’ir Allah, holy Book, and Suhaf-e-Ambia is being done with the consent of Salman Rushdie and he has been conferred the title of “Sir” for this deed despite the fact that he deserves the punishment of “Shar” (evil) instead of “Sir”.

He said this condemnable step of the British Queen is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire not only for Muslims but also for the whole humanity and an insult to Adyan-e-Illahi. The Queen should seek forgiveness from Allah by going to church, and take back the title of “Sir” from him. The Queen should keep in her mind that Allah’s stick is soundless.

The TNFJ chief said the Iranian rulers by announcing to take back the decree issued by Ayatollah Khomeini against Salman Rushdie has violated the Khat-e-Khomeini although no one has the authority to take back the degree issued by a Marje or a Mujtahid. He said the Iranian government should issue a clarification in this regard.

He said we always say everything openly, we fear only from Allah and work not for lobbies but Khakies and Bu Turabies because we the followers of Muhammad (SAAW) and offspring of Abu Turab (A.S.). The whole world should keep in mind the last Ayah of the Surah Majadlah in which Allah Warns that: “Those who are against Allah and His Rasool they are amongst the most valueless and disgraceful people, Allah Has written that Me and My Rasool will remain Zabar (dominant). No doubt, Allah is powerful and strong, you will not see any people who believe in Allah and the Hereafter, then make friends with such people who turned against Allah and His Rasool, whether they are our fathers, sons, brothers and from our family, faith (Iman) has been written in their hearts, and helped them from their own Ghaib, He will enter them in fruit gardens under which would run canals, and they will live there forever. Allah is happy with them and they are happy with Allah, that is the group of Allah. Beware, it is Allah’s group that will remain successful and victorious”.

Condemning the British Queen, Agha Moosavi appealed international organisation formed in the name of protecting the humanity and the Muslim rulers to break their silence and be unite as to what extent such a situation would continue. He said desecration of Al-Quds and Zionist occupation of it, destruction of Babri Masjid, the signs of Rasool-e-Akram (SAAW), Ahle Bait Atahaar (A.S.), Ummahatul Momineen (R.A.) and Sababa Kubaar (R.A.) were not spared even in the Muslim countries. At present, Muslims are killing Muslims in Palestine that is extremely tragic, blood of innocent people is being shed on the Iraqi soil rather holy places in Najaf-e-Ashraf, Karbala-e-Mualla, Baghdad Sharif, and Kazmain are being desecrated, holy shrines of Hazrat Imam Ali Naqi (A.S.) who is the grandfather of Naqvi, Bokhari, Al-Bakhri sadaat and Hazrat Imam Hassan Askari (A.S.) were razed to ground in Samarra. He said how we can complain against others when from amongst 57 Muslim States, only a few of them have expressed their concern and Pakistan has passed condemning resolution against the Samarra Tragedy?

Muslim rulers, politicians and opposition stalwarts are silent that provides food for thought while newspapers are suppressing news what to talk about writing editorials.

The Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Hamid Moosavi said this trend of Islamic World and other world leaders is tragic and poses a question mark.

Paying homage to Mazlooma-e-Kainaat Hazrat Syeda Fatima Zahra (S.A.) on the occasion of “International Ashra-e-Fatimiya”, he said we register our this case in Allah’s court. He prayed to Allah that show mercy to humanity, and give exemplary punishment to those who oppress and commit blasphemy of His righteous persons, No doubt He is the Most Just.
