Two Radicalised Muslim Terrorists Slaughter A Hindu Tailor In Udaipur Rajasthan Over Alleged Blasphemy: Sensible Response From Ulema Awaited On This Incidence Of Islamist Terrorism, Now In India Too

--------------------------------------------------------------------- We expect the Ulema to condemn this ghastly murder and incidence of Islamist terrorism in the country in the strongest terms, without any circumlocution. But will they also rethink their response to so called acts of blasphemy which keep happening around the world and offending Muslims to the point of them losing their heads. How long will the Ulema remain silent on this spiralling issue? Will they also own some responsibility for creating this madness among Muslims over cases of so-called blasphemy in the first place? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Radicalised Muslim Youth Try To Slit The Accused's Throat With A Cleaver In The Name Of The Honour Of The Prophet Main Points: 1. Two Muslim youth kill a Hindu tailor in his shop in broad day light. 2. The tailor had reportedly posted a picture in support of Nupur Sharma, who had made blasphemous remarks against the prophet, on social media. 3. The victim had received death threats from the assailants before the murder. 4. The victim had lodged an FIR against the assailants with the police but no action was taken to protect him. ------ By New Age Islam Staff Writer 28 June 2022 A Hindu shopkeeper (L) was killed in Udaipur by two men (R) over a social media post in support of Nupur Sharma. ---- The tensions that had been brewing in the country since the last month over the blasphemous remarks made by a BJP leader Nupur Sharma culminated in the ghastly murder of a tailor named Kanhaiya Lal Teli in Udaipur in the Rajasthan state of India today. According to media reports, the victim had posted a picture suggesting his support to Nupur Sharma on his social media account ten days ago. This had resulted in resentment in the Muslim society. The two killers, now arrested by the police, had allegedly threatened Mr. Kanhaiya with dire consequences. The victim had lodged a named FIR against the two assailants expressing threat to his life but, as usual, the police did not take his fears seriously. Kanhaiya who ran his tailoring shop named Supreme Tailor in the Dhan Mandi Area of the city was afraid and had not opened his shop for five or six days due to a threat perception. On 28th June, the two bearded assailants in their twenties came to their shop at about 2:30 PM and said to him that they wanted a shirt to be sewn. The tailor started taking measurements totally unaware of their plan. Suddenly they attacked him with a meat cleaver and unsuccessfully tried to slit his throat. Though they couldn’t sever his head, the injury was so grievous Mr. Kanhaiya died. One of them made a video of the slaughter with his phone while the other tried to slit Kanhaiya's throat in a ruthless manner. After the killing, they two fled and posted the video of the slaughter on social media triumphantly claiming responsibility. This naturally caused outrage and sparked protests in the city. The people prevented the police from lifting the dead body demanding the arrest of the killers, Rs 50 lakh compensation and an employment for the kin. The killers even threatened the PM Modi saying their knife will get him too soon. The Chief Minister of Rajasthan condemned the incident and said that the guilty would not be spared. He appealed for calm saying the atmosphere in the country is already tense and people should not allow it to deteriorate. Meanwhile, people have hit the streets in protests. In some places, the protests have turned violent. Heavy police force including STF has been pressed in service and they have taken the forensic samples from the site. According to the latest reports, the two culprits have been arrested. They had posted a video of themselves making a confessional statement saying they did the killing. The video of the slaughter is doing rounds in the social media which is extremely outrageous and so the police officers have appealed to the people not to circulate or watch the video. Heavy police force has been posted in the city to prevent any escalation of the tension, curfew has been imposed and internet connection has been suspended. That the assassins resorted to slitting with a knife reminds one of the slogan usually made in Pakistan against those insulting the prophet: Gustakh-e-Rasul ki ek saza, Sar tan se juda sar tan se juda ( There is only one punishment for those insulting the prophet and that is beheading him. ) During the protests in India over remarks made by Nupur Sharma against the prophet, this slogan was also heard in some places. A couple of months ago, two lady teachers slit the throat of a lady teacher of the same school in Pakistan because they considered her a gustakh-e-rasul (a blasphemer) due to her difference of opinion on religious issues. For the last one month, the Muslims had been protesting against Nupur Sharma's remarks and demanding her arrest. A large section of the Hindu population had also condemned Ms Sharma's remarks and supported the Muslims' demand of her arrest and legal action under Indian laws. Muslims had also been demanding her arrest and legal action. But despite FIRs lodged against her, she could not be arrested. This was causing desperation among the Muslims. To make matters worse, a procession was taken out in Nupur Sharma's support and a journalist named Md Zubair of Alt News who had posted the clip showing Nupur Sharma's statement, had been arrested only a day ago sparking countrywide protests. The killing of Mr. Kanhaiya is a heinous crime which should be condemned in strongest possible words. Any crime should be dealt with under the legal provisions of the country and no one can be allowed to take the law in his own hands. Going against the law of the land is against the Shariah and the guilty should be punished according to the law. The government should also handle the situation with the sensitivity it deserves. The Muslims should not get influenced by what extremists practice in Pakistan. The Muslims of India should adhere to the spirit of tolerance and have faith in the democratic values and the law and the judiciary of the country. We expect the Ulema to condemn this ghastly murder and incidence of Islamist terrorism in the country in the strongest terms, without any circumlocution. But will they also rethink their response to so called acts of blasphemy which keep happening around the world and offending Muslims to the point of them losing their heads. How long will the Ulema remain silent on this spiralling issue? Will they also own some responsibility for creating this madness among Muslims over cases of so-called blasphemy in the first place?
