There's a feeling among clerics that some ill-informed maulvis have issued statements against the deal without understanding it. "The deal has nothing to do with Muslims or any other community. It's about using nuclear fuel and if India gets strengthened by this, how are Muslims hurt?" asked Mumbai-based Shia scholar Maulana Zaheer Abbas Rizvi.
Some Muslims have apparently shown wariness toward the deal because of "rumours" that Israel would gain from it.
"I've heard Israel will somehow get strengthened because of the deal. Since most Muslims oppose the Jewish state, an impression has been created that they are against the deal," said Mumbai-based cleric Maulana Abu Zaffar Hassan Nadvi. "Let the country decide whatever is in its best interest. Let's not see the deal from the prisms of community or religions."
