Muslim community and terror should not be equalised: Chowdhury

Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind's Bengal unit president Siddiqullah Chowdhury today urged all communities to fight against the menace of terrorism and said the Muslim community and terror should not be equated.
"The Muslim community and terror should not be equated. All communities should come forward to fight against the menace of terrorism. A particular political party is trying to malign the Muslim community after the Burdwan blast. This is against humanity," Chowdhury said.
Chowdhury said the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind state committee would hold a rally on November 29 at Sahid Minar Maidan to protest against the malicious campaign to tarnish the entire Muslim community of the state.

"Some sections are saying that all madrasas are the breeding centres of terror activities. If any madrasa is proved to be guilty of supporting terror, we ourselves will take action. Till then please don't insult the teaching system in madrasas," Chowdhury said.
Earlier this month, Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind general secretary Maulana Mahmood Madani had alleged that a conspiracy was on to "tarnish" the entire Muslim community and accused central agencies and the Ministry of Home Affairs of being involved in witch hunting in the Burdwan blast case.
