Srinagar 10 June (KNS): Prophet Muhammad ( PBUH), is the messenger of Allah and has been sent as a blessing for the mankind, that is what Holy Quran says and the truth recognizers of the world have found it true for all times to come. Thus blasphemous remarks of any kind in any part of the world are unacceptable to the believers of truth, peace and tranquility, said Jammu and Kashmir Civil Society Forum Chairman Abdul Qayoom Wani in a statement here on Friday.
Reacting to the blasphemous remarks made by a few ex. office bearers of the ruling political party, Wani said that it was unfortunate that in a democratic country where there ought to be the freedom of religion as promised in the constitution, the things are turning ugly with each passing day Muslims happen to face the trouble by virtue of interference in their religion on one or the other pretext. The Forum statement said that now the blasphemy has become an easy thing for some communalists to hurt the sentiments of Muslims.
Chairman Abdul Qayoom Wani said that Muslims can never ever bear anything against Prophet Muhammad( Peace be upon Him) and the govt has ample experience that blasphemy has always caused tensions and it needed to be curbed and those who were involved needed to be booked under the law.
“We have been experiencing on other issues that pose a threat to peace, govt books the culprits under law and also those who spread the news and views on social media that is vulnerable to peace, but in case of blasphemy, we wonder how come the things are let loose and no action is taken against those who post, share and like the blasphemous stuff on social or mainstream media” Wani questioned
Jammu and Kashmir Civil Society Forum Chairman said it was most unfortunate that the seed of hate was spreading badly in various parts of the country at a dangerous pace, which has badly affected its secular image in the world including Arab world .Wani sought stern action against the erring elements indulged in spreading of hate among the communities and demanded that such people should be hanged who do blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad ( Peace be upon Him).(KNS)
