Bhakkar:<\/strong> Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman<\/strong> has strongly criticized what he described as a \u201ccoordinated campaign\u201d to malign religious seminaries across Pakistan, accusing certain national and international forces of conspiring to weaken Islamic institutions and undermine the religious fabric of society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing a large public gathering in Bhakkar, Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that propaganda against madrasas (religious schools)<\/strong> is being deliberately spread to portray them as breeding grounds for extremism and to pave the way for their disintegration. He warned that the move is part of a larger ideological war aimed at distancing the new generation from Islamic values and traditional learning systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cMadrasas are the backbone of Islamic civilization and the guardians of faith and morality,\u201d he declared. \u201cThose who conspire to destroy them are, in reality, working to destroy the identity of this nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Defending Madrasas as Centers of Peaceful Education<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The JUI-F leader said that for centuries, seminaries have provided free education to millions of poor students who could not afford modern schooling, and have played a vital role in preserving the Arabic language, Islamic jurisprudence, and religious unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, when the West fails to compete with our moral strength, it resorts to propaganda,\u201d he added. \u201cThey call our scholars extremists and our students radicals, but the truth is that these seminaries have produced saints, scholars, and reformers who have served humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He urged the Pakistani government not to bow to international pressure and resist any foreign-driven agenda seeking to reform or regulate madrasas under the guise of counterterrorism. \u201cNo external power has the right to interfere in our religious institutions,\u201d he said. \u201cIf any reform is to take place, it must come from within our own scholars and in accordance with our faith.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comments on the Palestinian Issue and Global Injustice<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Turning his attention to international politics, Maulana Fazlur Rehman also expressed solidarity with the Palestinian people<\/strong>, declaring that the Muslim world must not remain silent in the face of Israel\u2019s continued occupation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Palestinians are not terrorists \u2014 they are freedom fighters demanding their homeland,\u201d he said. \u201cTo even suggest recognizing Israel is to betray Palestine and negate the sacrifices of thousands of martyrs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He criticized Islamic countries that have hinted at normalizing relations with Israel, saying such actions would weaken the collective stance of the Muslim Ummah. \u201cThe world must understand that Jerusalem belongs to the Muslims, and no Muslim leader has the authority to hand it over,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Criticism of Global Double Standards<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Maulana Fazlur Rehman also condemned Western hypocrisy in dealing with international justice, particularly referencing recent developments at the International Criminal Court (ICC)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump invites Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to press conferences, treats him like a hero, while the same Netanyahu has been declared a global criminal by the International Court,\u201d he remarked. \u201cIf Saddam Hussein could be tried for war crimes, then why can\u2019t Netanyahu face justice for the massacre of Palestinians?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He accused Western powers of applying international law selectively, protecting allies like Israel while punishing leaders from Muslim nations. \u201cThis is not justice \u2014 it is the rule of might,\u201d he said, calling on the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC)<\/strong> to take a firm, unified stance against Israeli aggression and international bias.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
