'Need to revamp Theology curriculum in varsities'

Extremism can only be countered with ideology of 'sufism' and there is a need to revamp the Theology curriculum taught in varsities across the country, Sufi scholar Baba Ashraf said here today.
"Sufism is the method to achieve peace and harmony. It is the only way to counter extremism alongside love and brotherhood. However, the curriculum of Theology taught in universities across the country doesn't refer to Sufi ideology but (is does to) Wahabism," he said while addressing students at Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC) here.
Ashraf was here to deliver a lecture on "Sufism-Essence of Islam".
"Similarly, Waqf board in the county which is managing the religious centers is converting sufi centres into extreme centres whereas sufi ideology can be used for promoting peace and harmony," he added.
