It is an unpleasant truth that the Muslims in this subcontinent (and in the Middle East as well) are generally 'taught' to hate the Jews. Dr. Syed Ashraf Ali, the renowned Islamic thinker, is perhaps the only Islamic scholar in the subcontinent who over and again reminds the Muslims that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sm) always considered Islam to be the only Deen chosen by Allah, but he never hated the Jews or the Christians. Dr. Ali has cited a historic incident in numerous television discourses and write-ups. When a bier carrying a Jew's corpse was passing by, the Holy Prophet of Islam (Sm) stood up to show respect. He also urged his disciples to do the same.
We all know that Israel has been committing heinous and unpardonable acts of terrorism and aggression. Dr. Ali points out that these inhumane acts should be condemned by one and all, but these should never be considered 'Jewish Terrorism". The genocide perpetrated by the Pakistani Army can never be called "Islamic Terrorism'.
Will the impartial caretaker government kindly ensure that BTV viewers will not be deprived of the services rendered by this great scholar?
