Srinagar : Kashmiri students of Jamia al Mustafa, an International Islamic University based in Iran, Saturday condemned the action of a group of masked youth in downtown Srinagar that, according to them has the potential to inflame sectarian unrest in the Valley.
Burning pictures of resistance leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Iran’s President & others by some masked youths in Nowhatta outside Jamia Masjid Srinagar Kashmir is a sinister move by certain vested interests who want to create a sectarian discord in Kashmir at this crucial time, a joint statement issued by the students to the Kashmir Observer said.
Releasing the statement Waseem Reza and Aga Syed Owais Abbas urged upon Kashmir nation to keep vigilant eye on the elements who are trying to disrupt the unity and harmony there.
Jamia Masjid is the historical religious and cultural heritage of our Kashmir and since centuries the pulpit has played a great role in promoting proximity, brotherhood and highlighted atrocities done on Kashmiris, it said.
The statement further said that, ISIS, Al-Qaida, Taliban and others are responsible for destabilizing the peace and killing innocents in Muslim countries. Scholars of all schools of thoughts in Islam are unanimous that DAESH & other Takfiri groups are un-Islamic and inhuman working against Islam to malign the image of Muslims.
“The hands involving in sowing the seeds of discord among Muslims are neither Shias and nor Sunnis but the enemies of Islam, the statement quoting Iranian revolutionary leader Imam Khomeini, said.
It also said that Islam is the religion of peace and brotherhood and there may be possibility of differences in ideologies but that doesnt leads to division and enmity. Unity is the command of Almighty, mission of Prophets and identity of our society.
The picture Hezbollah leader was seen holding Quran in his hand and no Muslim can disrespect the sacred book and descendant of Holy Prophet (Pbuh) and this shows immaturity of this group which is being used to harm our oneness.
Seminary Students appealed religious, political & social organizations, civil society groups, educational institutes and media houses to play role in mobilizing the youths of Kashmir to promote tolerance and brotherhood. They also drew attention of civil administration to take action against the pages on social networking sites which promote hatred and disrespect of Shia and Sunni dignitaries.
