Open letter to Maulana Ilyas Qadri, the founder of Dawat-e-Islami, to which the killer of Mr Salman Taseer belonged
	Janab Maulana Ilyas Qadri Saheb, We are unable to restrain ourselves from writing to you with regard to the recent killing of Mr. Salman Taseer, governor of Punjab (Pakistan), because it is learnt that the man allegedly responsible for this killing is a cadre of your organization Dawate-islami (jamat). We would like to request you to ponder if this is in conformity with the teachings of Islam and the path which prophet has shown us. We reproduce below some verses of the na’t, describing prophet’s personality, which we have heard on your channel several times Salaam us par ke jis ney khoon key pyason ko qabain deen Salaam us par ke jis ney gaaliyaan sun kar duaien deen Salaam us par ke asrare mohabbat jis ney sikhlaeen Salaam us par ke jis ney zakhm khaa kar phool barsaey Salaam us par ke jo majruh huaa bazaar-e tayef mein … The person responsible for the killing seems to be the anti-thesis of the above-mentioned aspects of the greatest personality ever born on this earth. I am pained that those claiming to be Muslim are responsible for, and have rejoiced, the heinous murder, whereas the true followers of Islam ought to condemn this brutal killing. We demand that you apologize to the family members of late Salman Taseer on behalf of your organization. In order not to tarnish the image of Islam, Prophet and Sufis, we request you to renounce the politics of murder and mayhem in their name.-- Signatories to the open letter

Can a true follower of Islam forget the scene of Taif, where our great prophet was being beaten; though badly injured, he did not even utter a word of hatred for those who were throwing stones at him; on the contrary, he prayed for their well-being. It seems that your followers have forgotten important lessons from the life of our beloved prophet. Please recall that, in the light of Islam, the killer of prophet’s uncle, Hazrat Hamza, was forgiven by the prophet. Please recall that Ubai bin Salool kept on torturing prophet all through his life, but Prophet led the proceedings at his funeral service. Your organization claims to follow sufis (saints). Please enlighten us if that is the way shown to us by the likes of Moinuddin Chishti, Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, Data Saheb, Baba Fareed. I am pained that those claiming to be Muslim are responsible for, and have rejoiced, the heinous murder, whereas the true followers of Islam ought to condemn this brutal killing. We demand that you apologize to the family members of late Salman Taseer on behalf of your organization. In order not to tarnish the image of Islam, Prophet and Sufis, we request you to renounce the politics of murder and mayhem in their name.
