Hyderabad MP reacts sharply to the tweets by IS sympathisers
Hyderabad: Reacting to the alleged tweets by some Islamic State sympathisers, threatening Hyderabad MP and Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi for opposing the militant outfit, Owaisi on Thursday said he would not be cowed down by such threats, and continue to speak out against it as it had nothing to do with Islam.
A day after somebody tweeted on his wall asking him to shut his mouth and leave democracy, the Hyderabad MP, who moves around without any security, said he would not seek protection in the wake of threats. “I receive such threats every day. I will live as long as Allah wills,” he said. Stating that IS’ ideology was devilish and based on hatred, Owaisi said there was a need to put an end to this ideology.
“They don’t know mercy. They don’t know the meaning of mercy. They massacred 1.5 lakh Muslims including scholars,” he said, pointing out that all Islamic scholars in India and abroad had condemned IS actions and urged people to be cautious. The MP added that the MIM had taken a political stand that it was against all anti-national forces. An alleged IS sympathiser had tweeted, “It’s better for you to shut your mouth on Islamic State if you don’t know the truth, Islamic State will invade India soon.”
To this, Owaisi replied: “Sir, you are a bloody Takfiri, if you want to debate on evil ISIS, I am ready. You will not be able to counter my theological points.” “You can dream. So keep dreaming Takfiri. Read book on ISIS. That will bring you out of darkness of ISIS. Allah give Taufeeq,” Owaisi added. He said he replied as he would not have kept quiet on the rubbish of invading India.
The IS sympathiser then tweeted asking Owaisi to leave democracy. “You are a disgrace for Muslims of India. Opposing Islamic State will lead you to hell, only repent before end.” Owaisi told reporters that this itself showed that IS thinking was devilish. “The power of sending somebody to hell or heaven rests solely with Allah. It’s not in the hands of any human being,” he added.
