LAHORE, May 14 (Online): MMA President Qazi Hussain Ahmad has said that desecration of the Holy Quran is desecration the whole Muslim Ummah.
He said this while addressing Jumma congregation here in Jamia Masjid Mansoora. He held that MMA would voice observe protest day all over the world against the incident of sacrilege of the Holy Quran by US troops.
MMA has contacted Islamic movements in all the countries so that a forceful protest could be demonstrated across the world on one day, he told. A mammoth protest rally will be held in Islamabad on that day, he told.
He went on to say that love for the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and respect for the Holy Quran is deeply embedded in the hearts and minds of the Muslims. Muslims are an Ummah and the conspiracy is on to dislodge this love from the hearts of the Muslims, he warned.
The incident of flushing the Holy Quran by the US troops before the Muslim prisoners in Guantanamo bay prison facility is evidence of utter degeneration of US mentality, he remarked.
Citing to publication of derogatory cartoon in Washington Times he said that the entire responsibility of this humiliating treatment rests with General Pervez Musharraf who captured our Muslim brethren and handed over them to US, he alleged.
Qazi held that US considered Muslims its potential rival and targeted them after USSR defeat in Afghanistan.
He warmed that we will remain at the target of US no matter how much efforts we make to pose enlightened, moderate and liberal.
He regretted that Kashmir issue had been sidelined and Pakistan had stepped back from its stance as compared to India.
On the other hand President Musharraf says that the country is facing threat from extremists and Islam rather than India, he said and added that there is need to get united to resist such steps.
