MCC shocked at Mumbai terrorist attack
“Doctrine of Jihad must be denounced as inhuman”
TORONTO - The Muslim Canadian Congress (MCC), in expressing shock and dismay at the terror strikes in Mumbai has condemned these egregious acts of violence .
In a statement, the MCC said, there is little doubt that whichever jihadi outfit was behind this heinous crime, it was motivated by hate and a desire to sabotage the recent thawing of relations between India and Pakistan. The bombings come barely a week after peace overtures by President Asif Zardari who stated he did not see India as an adversary and had called for closer relations.
The MCC statement called on world leaders to confront the scourge of Islamist terrorism by challenging the validity of the doctrine of jihad as laid out by the worldwide Islamist movement led by the Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Qaeda, and a myriad of soft jihadi organizations in the West.
Unless and until this doctrine of jihad is confronted at the ideological level, fighting the war on terror is like shooting individual mosquitoes to combat malaria. Without challenging the Islamist doctrine of armed Jihad, it is futile to confront the jihadis. Just as Canada and its allies waged a war against Nazism as part of the war against Germany, today Canada and its allies should expose the doctrine of Jihad as pronounced by such Islamists as the late Syed Qutb and Syed Maudoodi, as inhuman and unfit for the modern world.
The MCC hopes that Muslims all over the world will unite to fight the curse of extremist and militant ideologies that sully the name of Islam and bring much disrepute to Muslims.
The MCC is also calling upon the Canadian government to do all it can to help obtain a speedy release of the six Canadian hostages held by militants.
For more information, please call Sohail Raza, Communications Director of the MCC at (416) 505-1613.
