The declaration adopted by the organisations at a meeting in Deoband on Monday, however, also criticised attempts to malign Muslims and madrassas.
The Anti-terrorism Conference organised by Islamic Seminary Darul Uloom in Uttar Pradesh's Deoband town was attended by clerics, scholars and religious leaders from several sects and groups across the country.
"Islam is a religion of mercy for all humanity. Islam sternly condemns all kinds of oppression, violence and terrorism. It has regarded oppression, mischief, rioting and murder among severest sins and crimes," said the declaration, adopted by over 10,000 participants.
"Islam prohibits killing of innocent people," it said.
The conference, however, expressed its deep concern and agony on the present global condition in which most of the nations are adopting an adverse attitude towards Muslims.
"It is a matter of greater concern that the internal and external policies of a country are getting heavily influenced by these forces," it said.
The gathering also condemned attempts to implicate Muslims and particularly religious institutions for terrorist acts.
"The disease (terrorism) has been diagnosed in a wrong way. Whenever there is any incident of terrorism, every possible attempt is made to link it to Muslims and particularly who have studied in madrassas and some religious institutions. This is totally wrong," said Adil Siddiqui, Public Relations Officer of Darul Uloom.



ANTI TERRORIST CONFERENCE AT DEOBAND NEAR SAHARANPUR. WOULD REQUEST IF YOU KINDLY PUT THE BANNER IN FULL VIEW SO THAT URDU WRITING CAN BE READ COMPLETELY. SUCH CARESHOULD ALWAYS BE TAKEN AS IT GIVES A LASTINGREADING AFFECT ON THE READERS.
Looks like Adil siddiqui made above statetment by forgetting the point that so far the terrorist caught are muslims, trained in madasas. This is limit of foolishness by Ulema leader
First define the JIHAD and delete it from Quran then you have point to talk about peace and condemnin killings morons.
Haa Haa ! Joke of the century. Islam and peace ? I got is now Mullas condemn killing but not non-muslims(kafirs). Whast else they can do now ? looking at the educated, non-educated, rich and poor mulsims are becoming terrorists. Nice drama mullas, who will believe you. Islam has set the world, an example of TERRORISM is ISLAM and ISLAM is TERRRORISM
It is all show off by these fanatics. If Islam condems oppresssion then why barbarians did bigest genocide of the world in india. THis Ulema is just to show people that Islamis peace looking at the terrorism by these barbarians. Islam is EVIL should cease.
IT SEEMS WE ALL HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD THESE MAULANAS WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO SAY THAT THE KEELING OF INNOCENT MUSLIMS BY ISLAMIC TERRORISTS IS UN ISLAMIC KILLING OF KAFFIRS IS NOT A PROBLEM
Finally I am happy, Ulema( scholars) came out with the fatwa that terrorism is not allowed. and not acceptable. Infact above time .
A Good Move by the high ranking Muslim Cleric of the Deoband Institute which is highly respected worldwide
then why the most terrorists are Muslims??i am Muslim i do not practice my religion as it teaches nothing but hatred to fellow human beings
I apreciate the efforts being played by the leaders of islam in india to accept atlast and say that terrorism is not the principle of islam.also kindly advice and guide young genration to come to the main stream of national developement and better development for the society and individual. we all know that no religion in the world teach terrorism.only people are mis guided by the world of selfeshness
Atlast the Muslim clergy in India has woke up todeclare the incotrovertible truth that Islamic Terrorism is a reprehensible oxymoron.
Muslim groups have done well by condemning terrorism as un-Islamic. It is a great beginning. They should convert the madrassas into institutions of great learning, just as Christians have done. It will not only prevent Muslim youths from restricting themsleves to religious learning, but also expose them to advanced learning. Other communities will also join such institutions of learning. Others also can come to know more about Islam, getting rid of the biases.
Eye wash, I dont believe they can ever seperate them selves from the hatered that they have nutured over centuries. what do they have to say about people who follow other faiths can they coexist
Finally you will find their definition of terrorism is totally different than what world is going through. They are good at buying time when get cornered!!
Some muslims are funding for the terrorists and asking them for not keeping bombs in their area.I know it is going on in many states in india.So all muslims should be taught in mosques to not to fund for terrorism.
The satnd taken now by Deobands was long overdue but even now, though dealayed,deserves to be welcomed by all right-thinking people of this country. But the charge expressed in the meeting that the Police are arresting persons only on accout of their being Muslims is deplorable as this charge villifies the police adminstartion with the charge of partiality. Instead of making such wild charge, the Muslim leaders should meet the arrested suspects and urge them to distance themselves from the terrorist oufits operating in this country underground and getting financial and strategic support from forign elements. They should also note thata the arrested persons can be punished only after their guillt is established in Courts, where enough opporunity is given to the accused to prove their innocence.
The stand taken now by some Muslim organisations against terrorism was long overdue, but even now this action has to be welcomed by all sections of the society. But one sinister charge expresed in the meeting is that the police are arresting people only because the suspect is a Muslim. This charge indirectly villifies the police adminstration for partiality. The Muslim organisataions instead of making such serious charge should meet and the arrested persons and urge them to distance themselves from terroist gruoups working in India undeground with the financial and strategic support from foreign elemnts. The Muslim organisation must know that the suspects ca be punished only after their guilt is established in the court after giving adequate chance to the accused to argue for their defence.
Without doubt it must be realised first and foremost that the Almighty CREATOR created Man from Clay and Water and breathed LIFE into him; then from this Man's rib HE(the Creator) created Man's partner - the Woman. The rest of the Human Race - i.e. every Human Being - the Dead, the Living, and those who are yet to be born into the world HE created by procreation through conception. When this is realised then we (the Human race) will realise that we are not enemies to each other but brethren in Creation. Only then will we understand that our real enemy is the Satan as has been openly announced time and time again by the Almighty Creator to us.This will automatically stop all forms of feelings to snuff out the life of our fellow human brother.The decree by the scholars of Islam at the Deoband meeting, although delayed, is still very welcome.
If Muslims are for peace then why the declaration and why the meeting? I think it should be in action than in words. Why all terrorists are all having Muslim names? Please explain INFIDELS and sward of Islam!
THis is nothing more than a hogwash and a gimmick of a Grand design to pull the wool over our eyes, as muslims all over the world are under the scanner and are loathed.It remains to be seen how much importance is given this dictatby the Indian muslims? India must not allow the vile,barbaric and inhuman Sharia Law to be implemented.Do not try to fool us with islam as a peaceful religion and all that mumbo jumbo, it anything but peacefu? Any peace it accepys is the piece of your mutiliated body.This is like skating on the surface, waht is required is a root and branch overhaul and renaiisance of a doctrine that is outdated harking back to over 1400 years old, nothing short of this will assist muslims to change their mindset and accept rationaility.
dilip i read all ur mails regularly.its very clear you are a pathetic guy related to some VHP organisation.all ur hate mails are directed at muslims.its people like u who will never let us indians live peacefully.bahut kide hai toh france mein zak mar,why do want to find excuses to vent your flustration on muslim.grow up man.
Shutup..Sanghi...Stop with your ranting, sale pehle RSS/BJP/VHP/Bajrang Dal walon ko sahi kar phir Netaon ki tarah bhashan dena...
This is very good. Why is it that these Muslim groups took so much time to adopt this decleration. Islam has always been the religion of peace and its message is Universal. Islam is the religion of truth and it teaches the practical way of life. The Muslims of India and world should come together and adopt such decleration. The next step will be to find resolution of all the world problems affecting Muslims and Islam by peaceful means. Islam should invite all the people and intellectuals and scholars from different faith to have a dialogue on the true meaning of Islam which is peace and brotherhood.They should take up issue of publishing of cartoons of our prophet with the European Union and make them understand that it hurts our feeling when they do such act. Islam and its people hv never shown disrespect to the prophets and rishis of other religion. As Quran teaches us to respect all the prophets and rishis send by God, they should also learn to respect our Prophet. We as Muslims have big responsibility of projecting our self as trustworthy and righteous people on this earth as our Prophet was. Our Madarrassas which are incorretly projected as breeding ground of terrorist should also correct their attitude and method of teaching so that no religion or community points fingure on them. I hope this will lead to the dawn of new era for Islam and its people on this earth.
well this will never happen. your prophet himself indulged in acts which in any civilized society of modern times would be considered as a crime. so when you follow him, there is no question of what your religion is.
Better ask MF Hussain, what he painted of the Hindu Gods and say "never shown disrespect to the prophets and rishis of other religion""I hope this will lead to the dawn of new era for Islam and its people on this earth", this is what everyone is asking about. Asking favours only for the people of Islam and not Human kind.
BJP, MODI AND SHIV SENA SHOULD PLEDGE THE SAME.THESE WORMS SPOIL THE GOOD RESPECT OF THE GREAT HINDU RELIGION, NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY, USA REJECTING VISA TO MODI IS ONLY ONE EXAMPLE.
Dilip, what Modi, BJP or Shiv Sena has to do any thing when group of Muslim people agree with the common perception that Muslims are involved in terrorism all over the Glob! Hindu religion is great and look which faith has been victim of agression by the faith of books, Only Hindu religion! If any group demanding the protection from the attack on Hindu Religion, that does not mean disrespecting the attackers but a complaint against them. USA rejected Mr. Modi's Visa is the local politics of USA and misguided Michigan congress woman and courtsey to collegue extended by other US congressmen and ofcourse lies propagated by the Indian Muslim groups in USA.
Modi should pledge what? Not to fight islamic terrorism? Looks like some people never learn things even after people's verdict. Infering that USA rejection of visa for Modi is some kind of insult to him shows your slave mentality. You wrote about his visa thing few times before and I am assuming you are a moron because USA itself isn't a leading light on human rights. So, who care if they reject visa.
Modi is not fighting islamic terrorism. Modi is creating a wedge between Hindus and Muslim for his vested interest in Gujarat. For your information, do you know why he was refused visa by US. Becos his hands are stained with blood of Congress MLA Ahsan Jafri who was killed during the Gujrat riots. The children of Ahsan Jafri is in USA and they hv produced evidence to the US govt about the hand of Modi in their fathers killing. Dont be a stooge of Modi. The justice and truth has to prevail in this case and Modi will be exposed today or tommorrow and the people of Gujarat will know his true colour. There is no big deal that the people of Gujrat elected him second time on the basis of hindutva, George bush was also elected second time and now the people of America hv realised and want him to go asap.
Time for moderate or should I say muslims from moderate peace loving countries to wake up and condem the thugs who are speaking for all muslim, in the name of ISLAM, islam mens "IS", means GOD amd "lam", means abode of god,{Sanskrit} not where killers live.
Nothing short of accepting other religion as equal and allowing a live-and-let-live attitude is acceptable. concept of Jaziya and Dhimmi has to be eradicated from Quran.
