Muslim Scholar Responds to TTP Video of Army Public School Peshawar Attack

From the FB of Muslim scholar, Dr Yasir Qadhi

So, the leader of the TTP, the 'mastermind' of the gruesome, deadly, inhumane, barbaric attack against over a hundred schoolchildren has released a video explaining why he wanted to kill these innocent and pure souls.

As Allah is my witness, I swear I feel disgusted even looking at him much less publicizing his voice. But I have a higher motive. I want you to listen carefully to his arguments and justifications, and realize that th...ese are EXACTLY the same arguments that Daesh and al-Qaeda and other groups use to justify their gruesome killings of innocents as well.

As I have said before, when you open the door to extremism, it will only get worse, and those whom you considered extremists (e.g., al-Qaeda) will become innocent pacifists when you compare them to the next splinter group (eg., Daesh), and just when you thought it couldn't get worse, you realize you were wrong all along, and that it is possible to get fanatics who are simply beyond the scale of human understanding (eg., TTP).

FOR THE HUNDRED THOUSANDTH TIME, WE ARE ALL IN AGREEMENT THAT AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY IN IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, GUANTANAMO, ETC., IS INHUMANE, BARBARIC, AND MURDEROUS. NO ONE IS JUSTIFYING OR SUPPORTING THEM. (Still, in the comments, we will get internet-jihadists who claim that I support American invasions...talk about being deaf, dumb and blind!)

But our religion teaches us that we cannot just randomly kill innocents in retaliation for the wrong done to us.

I reiterate: opening this door WILL lead to acts like those of the TTP.

"Fight for the sake of Allah those who have fought you, but do not go beyond the bounds, for Allah does not love those who go beyond the bounds." (Al-Quran 2:190). An innocent soul, such as (as per explicit hadith) a woman, a child, a worshipper, and (based on qiyas) in our times a civilian, is simply off-limits. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

May Allah guide us to act with wisdom and maturity, and save us from ever using His beautiful religion to spread evil and bloodshed in this world, even if people are unjustly killing us.
