Altaf Hussain Labels Taliban as Religion Imposers

Chief of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Altaf Hussain, recently gave his own views regarding Taliban after they have been penetrating into Pakistan. Last time Altaf Hussain spoke about how he always said Taliban were a big threat to the country but several leaders disregarded what he had to say. He also said that Taliban are trying to impose religion on gunpoint and that is not what Islamic teachings ask you to do.

While talking to Maulana Tanvir Ul Haq Thanvi, Altaf Hussain openly said that Taliban’s ideology of Islam is in total contrast to what Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said. While addressing the media, he claimed:

“Raising voice of righteousness in an environment of terror is the biggest jihad and it is a positive omen to some religious scholars and political leaders supporting my concerns and apprehensions about Talibanization.”

 While labelling Islam as a religion of peace, Altaf Hussain also said,

“Islam is a religion of peace, but Taliban and certain religious extremists want to impose their own brand of shariah in Pakistan on gunpoint. To further their nefarious objectives, these elements have been blowing up places of worship for Muslims and non-Muslims, shrines of saints, girls’ schools, civil and military installations and public properties. Besides mercilessly killing civilians, these elements are also involved in slaughtering personnel of law enforcement agencies and unleashing reign of terror across the country.”
