Srinagar: Mutahida Majlis-e-Ulema (MMU) Jammu Kashmir headed by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has strongly condemned the blasphemous remarks against the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) by some people in Reasi area of Jammu and termed it a deliberate attempt to hurt the sentiments of Muslims across the world.
Terming the blasphemous remarks by Satpal Sharma and Deepak meant to cause hurt and hatred and hence unendurable, the MMU – a conglomerate of religious bodies of Jammu Kashmir – said “it is extremely unfortunate that the anti-Islam forces are being time and again encouraged to indulge in such deliberate provocative acts to serve their petty interests by hurting the religious sentiments of Muslims”.
“Muslims can never tolerate disrespect or ill-remarks against their beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) the epitome of humaneness and peace and is dear to each and every Muslim than their own selves,” it said.
“Muslims can sacrifice their lives, and all but cannot bear an iota of disrespect to the honour and dignity of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW). This is the belief of a Muslim,” the MMU added.
It warned and demanded strict and exemplary punishment to those who committed this crime so that “no one swayed with communal frenzy and deliberate provocation musters courage to commit such shameful act again or harm the centuries-old communal harmony and mutual brotherhood in Jammu & Kashmir”.
