Farid Chaudhari on Sultan Shahin’s essay: 'Muslim Ulema urgently need to introspect'

By Farid Chaudhari

Subject: Muslim Agenda: Muslim Ulema to introspect

Many centuries back they had done it when they conquered Jerusalem, and more recently when they had recaptured Delhi from the rebels in 1858....and more. This does not mean that I defend terrorism by Muslims...I simply find it possible to equate it to other events and to mitigate the condemnation that it attracts from the perpetrators of similar excesses. Very long struggles for independence began in reaction to imperialism and colonialism. In Muslim countries, these were described as Jihad. But I have also been saying that a Jihad, whether launched by a State or by a Rebel group, and even if justified, but which has not succeeded over say a long period , needs to be rolled back .I consider this to be eminently applicable to Kashmir and to Palestine, for example.
