Siraj asks Muslim Ummah to work out strategy for security

ISLAMABAD: Ameer, Jamaat e Islami (JI) Senator Sirajul Haq, currently in Saudi Arabia, has said that the blood of the Muslims was being spilled all over the world and the Muslim Ummah would have to work out a strategy to protect the oppressed Muslims.

He was speaking at a reception hosted in his honour by the Pakistani community in Riyadh, says a message received here.

Sirajul Haq said the Muslims were massacred in Kashmir, Palestine, Iraq, Iraq, Afghanistan and Burma but the world colonialism did not make any effort to check the hatred towards Islam and the Muslims. On the other hand, he said, the western politicians and the western media were deliberately fanning bias towards Islam.

He said that mass killings in two New Zealand mosques were not the first incident of terrorism against Muslims as numerous such incidents had occurred in European and western countries. The targeting of Muslims, mosques and madrissahs and the women wearing veil had been a routine and the scarf wearing school girls were being insulted and forced to leave their institutions.

Sirajul Haq welcomed Turkey move for an emergent meeting of the Muslim countries Foreign Ministers and termed it a timely step to unite the Muslim world on the issue.

He told the Pakistanis in the holy land that they were Allah’s guests in this country and unofficial ambassadors of Pakistan. "Therefore, they should try to raise Pakistan’s image through their conduct and dealings and take lead in serving the pilgrims from all over the world considering it a great honour," he said.
