"I want to put this in absolutely clear terms that Islam does not preach violence. In fact, the so called jihad that terror groups talk about, is not what they think it is. Real jihad in fact means fighting the perpetrators of terror," the cleric said. Madni added that the Jamiat is planning to organise a conference to discuss the various aspects of terrorism and ways to stop it, in Mumbai next month.
There is a churning going on among Muslims, and Mehmood Madni should be credited for breaking the silence. He has initiated a debate on the options before Muslims to look beyond the Congress yoke and fear of the BJP, says Ehtasham Khan
