Sectarian clashes kill seven in Pakistan February 28, 2010
Pakistani authorities slapped a curfew on a restive northwestern district on Sunday after clashes and gun fights left at least seven people dead at a religious procession, officials said. Sectarian violence erupted on Saturday in the town of Paharpur in Dera Ismail Khan district, as hundreds of Muslims rallied to celebrate Eid Milad-un-Nabi, which marks Prophet Mohammed’s birthday.


Gunmen opened fire on a parade by the Barelvi sect of Sunni Muslims, killing one person on the spot and prompting the angry crowd to retaliate by attacking a seminary of the local Deobandi Sunni sect. “Seven people were killed and 38 others have been injured in these incidents. All the dead are Sunni, there are some Shi’ites among the injured,” district police chief Gul Afzal Afridi told AFP.
Dera Ismail Khan district has in the past been troubled by unrest between followers of the Sunni [Deobandi] and Shi’ite branches of Islam, but clashes between Sunni factions are relatively rare.

An official in the hospital Dera Ismail Khan hospital confirmed the death toll and said that the 38 people wounded were still being treated. Authorities early on Sunday ordered people to remain in their houses night and day in the main city, also called Dera Ismail Khan, and other parts of the district including Paharpur town. Security forces patrolled the streets. “We have arrested more than 20 suspects and are carrying out more raids. There is a curfew in the main city and some of the outskirts,” Afridi said.

Afridi had refused to comment on Saturday on who might be responsible for the initial shooting, saying the area was troubled by both sectarian unrest and attacks by Islamist militant groups. Shi’ites account for about 20 per cent of Pakistan’s Sunni-dominated population. The two communities usually coexist peacefully, but more than 4000 people have died in outbreaks of sectarian violence since the late 1980s. Attacks by Islamist extremists, meanwhile, have killed more than 3000 people since July 2007. Most attacks are blamed on the Pakistani Taliban. Source: SMH

Also Saturday, at least one person died and several others were wounded when gunmen opened fire on a procession in the northwestern town of Dera Ismail Khan, said Dr. Qutbuddin Khan, who works at a local hospital. The participants, later, attacked a mosque, said police official Bashar Khan, adding that it triggered a clash between Barelvi and Deobandi Sunni sects, killing three more people. Some 26 more suffered wounds, he said. Khan said troops imposed a curfew in the area. He added it was not clear who had attacked the procession. The procession was marking Mulid an-Nabi, the anniversary of the birth of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. Source: AFP

Religious violence Dawn Editorial Monday, 01 Mar, 2010

Religious holidays in the country are fast becoming marked by violence. Over the weekend, processions celebrating Eid Miladun Nabi in Faisalabad and D.I. Khan were attacked causing death, injuries and mayhem.
Thankfully, the violence was quickly contained and did not rise to the level of terribleness that the country has unfortunately witnessed in recent times. Pakistanis hardly need reminding that the country is in the grip of religious intolerance and violence: the war against militancy has touched every corner of the country inflicting a terrible toll, and for a while certain areas were virtually ceded to the militants without a fight. But there is another, more insidious, religious poison that is spreading, largely unnoticed, across the country, and it is not quite as easy to explain as the territorial ambitions of the Taliban. That poison has pit Sunni against Shia, Deobandi against Barelvi, Muslim against religious minorities — and it defies easy categorisation. The only thing its various strands seem to have in common is a hatred for everything that is ‘different’, where ‘different’ is inevitably judged as an unacceptable deviation and therefore deserving of punishment, even death, in many instances.

Invariably — perhaps suggesting where the cure must first begin — a steady diet of dogmatic preaching is to be found wherever such violence occurs. In Faisalabad, the khatib of a local mosque was arrested on charges of inciting people to violence. It will take great political will but such violent elements need to be purged from the mosques and madressahs, for without that it will not be possible to roll back the tide of hate that is threatening to engulf the country. Nor should it be viewed as some-thing that is impossible to do. After all, only a few years ago, processions such as those witnessed on Saturday were low-key and passed off peacefully. What is new is the sense of one-upmanship: each group wants to have a bigger and louder affair and is ever keen to rattle or taunt rival groups. In the event, the police and local administrations largely manage to do a good job and keep tensions to a minimum. But that is mere fire-fighting and ends up dealing with only the symptom and not the disease. The infrastructure of hate that has slowly taken hold at the grass-roots level is really what needs to be dismantled. Further delay in initiating that process will only cause the problem to grow in magnitude. http://archives.dawn.com/archives/32519

Wounds The News Editorial Monday, March 01, 2010

To our utter shame, Eid Milad-un-Nabi, the most auspicious of days on the Muslim calendar, saw the start of violence, death and destruction that wracked Faisalabad and DI Khan. Apart from the question of terrorism that thrives on the ability of man to inflict pain on man, sectarian differences and tensions have many a time shattered our dream of unity in diversity. These ancient wounds have never completely healed and politicians, both religious and otherwise, have a lot to answer for on this count. We note and regard as significant that the Punjab law minister, Rana Sanaullah, and the Punjab home secretary, Nadeem Hassan Asif, were present in Faisalabad during the worst of the violence — and that neither of them attended the meeting convened by the agencies of law and order to discuss how best to deal with it. What are a law minister and a home secretary supposed to do if they are not to support the civil power at times of greatest need? And does this add to the list of questions that need to be answered about the alleged affiliation of some of our politicians to banned or terrorist outfits? With our politicians behaving in this manner, what hope can we have of healing not just historical rifts but the recent wounds that we have suffered at the hands of terrorists? 

Terrorists and those inspired by their twisted logic have drunk deep at the fountain of sectarian divide in our country and they are hell-bent on killing any semblance of normalcy that we may be able to sprinkle our lives with. As if we were not horrified and aggrieved enough at what was happening in DI Khan and Faisalabad, in Karak a suicide bomber rammed his vehicle into a police station, killing five. Elsewhere there are continued attacks on schools. People are desperately attempting to resume normal life in Swat, Dir and other conflict-hit zones. Hotel owners make efforts to persuade tourists to return and music shop owners tentatively restock stores. The aftermath of violence though swirls all around, with the relatives of militants targeted for revenge according to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, and with the Taliban acting to punish those they accuse of theft or other crime. How is this Hydra-headed monster of violence to be killed? Challenging the hold of obscurantism, tackling development issues and granting people access to opportunity are measures that must be taken. People, on their own, are attempting to find the calm rhythm needed in life and the militants are keeping up their efforts to prevent them from succeeding. The state can play a part in determining the outcome. It must not look on as a spectator. Unity must be promoted at all levels and solutions sought to the troubles that afflict us rather than rubbing salt into wounds old and new. We expect our lawmakers to be unifiers; this is an expectation that Messrs Sanaullah and Asif should pay heed to.

Editorial: Religious intolerance Daily Times

An attack on Eid Milad-un-Nabi Barelvi processions in Faisalabad and D I Khan, retaliation by the participants and the subsequent damage to public and private property, loss of life and injuries have revealed that religious intolerance is seething just beneath the surface. In such incidents, the first suspicion is cast upon the opposing sect, who might normally have been assumed to be Shias in this case, but the Barelvi victims have accused the Deobandi groups in their respective areas. The occasion of Eid Milad-un-Nabi in Pakistan is usually marked by celebrations comprising lighting up of streets, model-making, na’at competitions and processions in all big cities. The Barelvis, more rooted in the culture of the Subcontinent and deeply influenced by Sufism, have always promoted the more human side of religion by spearheading celebrations of the birth of the Prophet (PBUH). 

Fun-starved youngsters make full use of the opportunity to give vent to their artistic skills and provide healthy entertainment to the general public. However, this has irked the conservative schools of Sunni Islam, notably the Deobandis, who had been campaigning before the occasion that celebrating the birth of the Prophet (PBUH) was a heresy because neither he nor his companions celebrated the event. The eruption of violence on such an insignificant issue between two Sunni denominations is an indicator of deep insecurities and a wish to impose one’s interpretation of religion on all others. It is a source of great concern that more people were injured in exchange of firing between the police and the rioters in D I Khan. In a tense situation like this, the police are expected to dexterously manage the situation to cool down sentiments, which otherwise may swirl out of control. Once riots start, they may not necessarily remain confined to their origin and may become an opportunity to vent other kinds of resentments. Occasions such as Ashura and Eid Milad-un-Nabi, when sentiments run high, provide a ripe opportunity for mischief-makers to ignite trouble and disrupt religious harmony. Masked men have been reported to have carried out sabotage activities on several occasions in the past to avoid being identified and arrested. In a fraught situation like this, the Punjab government appears to be in denial that there are extremist forces at work in Punjab, particularly Southern Punjab. Reluctance to adopt a clear policy against such outfits may ultimately land this government in deep trouble as a result of internecine violence among these groups, in which ordinary people are also caught in the crossfire.

’توہین رسالت قانون پر سیاست نہ کریں‘

آخری وقت اشاعت:  اتوار 16 جنوری 2011 ,‭ 12:18 GMT 17:18 PST 
پاکستان میں دیوبند مکتبہ فکر کے بڑے عالم اور جامعہ بنوریہ العالمیہ سائیٹ کراچی کے مفتی مولانا محمد نعیم نے کہا ہے کہ ناموس رسالت کے قانون پر سیاست نہیں ہونی چاہیے اور مذہبی جماعتوں کو اس حساس معاملے پر بیان بازی اور جلسے جلوس سے گریز کرنا چاہیے۔
بی بی سی اردو سروس کے ساتھ ایک انٹرویو میں انہوں نے کہا کہ کچھ مذہبی سیاسی جماعتیں اس معاملے پر سیاست کر کے فائدہ اٹھانے کی کوشش کر رہی ہیں۔ ’ان کو کوئی موقع نہیں ملا تو اس لیے وہ اس سے فائدہ اٹھا رہی ہیں۔ یہ خالص مذہبی معاملہ ہے اس کو مذہبی انداز ہی میں حل ہونا چاہیے‘۔
مفتی نعیم نے کہا کہ پنجاب کے سابق گورنر سلمان تاثیر کے قتل میں گرفتار پولیس اہلکار ممتاز قادری کو ہیرو بنا کر پیش کرنا بھی غلط ہے۔


’ماورائے عدالت جو بھی کام ہوگا وہ غلط ہے اس لیے ممتاز قادری کو ہیرو بنانا میں سمجھتا ہوں صحیح نہیں ہے۔ یہ عدالت پر چھوڑا جائے، عدالت اس کا فیصلہ کرے گی کہ وہ ہیرو ہے یا کچھ اور۔ لیکن ہر آدمی کو (اس کے لیے) اس طرح کے جملے استعمال کرنا میں سمجھتا ہوں کہ مناسب نہیں ہے، یہ عدالتی مسئلہ ہے اور عدالت ہی اس کا فیصلہ کرے گی‘۔
وکیلوں اور مذہبی جماعتوں کے کارکنوں کے ایک گروہ کی جانب سے ممتاز قادری کے مقدمے کی سماعت کرنے والی عدالت کا گھیراؤ کرنے کے متعلق سوال پر انہوں نے کہا کہ ’ایسا بالکل نہیں ہونا چاہیے کیونکہ ماورائے عدالت جو بھی کام ہوگا تو اس سے ملک کے اندر افراتفری ہوگی اور نظام خراب ہوگا‘۔


انہوں نے کہا کہ ’لال مسجد کے مسئلے میں بھی ہم نے غازی عبدالرشید اور مولانا عبدالعزیز کو یہی کہا تھا کہ آپ قانون اپنے ہاتھ میں نہ لیں، ریاست میں ریاست نہ بنائیں۔ اگر یہ ہوجائے گا تو ہر آدمی دوسرے کو مارتا رہے گا‘۔
مفتی نعیم نے خبردار کیا کہ اگر سلمان تاثیر کے قتل کے معاملے کو عدالت پر نہ چھوڑا گیا تو ملک انارکی کا شکار ہوجائے گا۔
وفاقی وزیر داخلہ رحمان ملک کے ہفتے کو کراچی میں مختلف مکاتب فکر کے علمائے کرام کے ساتھ اجلاس کے بعدایک متفقہ اعلامیے کے ذریعے اعلان کیا گیا تھا کہ توہین رسالت کے قانون کے غلط استعمال کو روکنے کے لیے تمام مکاتب فکر کے علماء پر مشتمل دس رکنی کمیٹی تشکیل دی جائے گی جو گستاخی رسول کے الزام کی اچھی طرح سے پہلے چھان پھٹک کرے گی۔
مفتی محمد نعیم نے کہا کہ توہین رسالت کے قانون کے غلط استعمال کو روکنے کے لیے وہ حکومت کے ساتھ تعاون کرنے پر تیار ہیں لیکن یہ کمیٹی اسی صورت میں موثر ثابت ہوگی جب حکومت اس کی تشکیل سے پہلے مذہبی سیاسی جماعتوں اور دینی مدارس کی تنظیموں وفاق المدارس العربیہ اور اتحاد تنظیمات کو اعتماد میں لے گی۔
انہوں نے کہا کہ توہین رسالت کے قانون کے اندر اگر کوئی سقم ہے تو اس کو کوئی ضابطہ بنا کے دور کیا جا سکتا ہے۔
’ایسا کیا جانا چاہیے ورنہ اگر میری اور آپ کی لڑائی ہے پیسوں کی بنیاد پر اور آپ الزام لگا دیں کہ جی یہ گستاخ رسول ہے اور میں نے اس لیے اس کو مار دیا۔ تو یہ تو ہر آدمی پھر قانون اپنے ہاتھ میں لے لے گا‘۔
