Islamabad sees sufism as extremist antidote
Sun, 07 Jun 2009 21:47:56 GMT
SAC will be tasked with promoting love, peace and brotherhood among the Pakistani public.
Islamabad is set to combat the ongoing insurgency by spreading sufi thoughts and teachings across the violence-wracked country.

Government sources on Sunday announced setting up of a seven-member 'Sufi Advisory Council' (SAC) with an aim to combating extremism and fanaticism by spreading sufism in the country, Dawn News reported.

The SAC chairman and some of its members are said to be holding their first meeting at the ministry of religious affairs in Islamabad on Tuesday June 9.

The council will also invite what it calls progressive intellectuals in an effort to promote the flourishing of sufism.

It is not clear whether SAC will play a parallel role in the presence of Council of Islamic Ideology which is a constitutional body.

The decision comes as Islamabad and other major cities across Pakistan have been braced for suicide attacks since the army launched an offensive against the insurgents in the troubled northwestern Swat valley and its adjoining districts in early May.

THERE CAN BE NO PEACE AS LONG AS PAKISTAN IS CONSPIRING WITH USA AND KUFFAR TO ATTACK MUSLIM BROTHERS. NO MATTER WHAT SECT OUR MUSLIM BROTHERS ARE FROM THEY ARE BETTER THAN KUFFAR. LET THE HOLY WARRIORS OF ALLAH(SW) DRIVE OUT THE KUFFAR AND THEIR HELPERS. THEN SORT OUT YOUR MINOR DIFFERENCES IN PEACE. PRIORITY SHOULD BE IN THAT ORDER.

This is an attack to the originality of ISLAM. How can they achieve peace if they target original ISLAM? Sunni world should not sleep anymore. IRAN is an emminent danger to ISLAM. Sunni world should equip with weapon to face the evil IRAN.

SUFI and SHIA thoughts are Jahillia and has nothing to do with ISLAM. This method will increase violence. Sunni will never ever tolerated any deviant group of ISLAM. Actually these groups are kuffar group. Pakistan is giving fuel to its burning oven. Consquence of this methods will be fatal very fatal. Every single SUNNIS will fight as long as they exists on earth.

This is one of the Strategies the RAND corporation have devised to combat the rise of political Islam by promoting jahil and deviant cults like Sufism and Secularists.
