The best course of action for Muslim boys and girls
is to get educated, have a job and live a happy family life with monogamy and
planned family. Their role model must be persons like Prof Abdus Salam, one of
the World’s top physicist and a devout practising Muslim.
Unfortunately young Muslims are being taught to
observe purdah by girls and beard and namaz in mosque for boys. They are being
taught to obey their maulvis.
In India, there is a section of mischievous persons
who devise new and new demands to tease and harass Muslims and sometimes matter
erupts and with connivance of police they victimize Muslims. All this can be
faced and avoided with prudence and if Muslims adopt path of education and
socioeconomic uplift then they will be able to live in peace.
Their maulvis and leaders bring them on streets and on
path of confrontation. First it was Shahbano case where a lone divorced woman
won maintenance from Supreme Court but it was presented as interference in
shariah and people were brought on streets. Rajiv Gandhi replied by getting
locks of disputed Babri Masjid opened and performed shila nyas for Ram temple.
This was hijacked by BJP and it got majority support since then. Babri Masjid
got demolished and some riots occured. Shiv Sena started systematic campaign of
harassing Muslims with connivance of police and administration. There was no
end in sight. At that juncture instead of leaders adopting negotiations with
secular liberal elements of majority community and exhausting various legal
judicial options some men took the path of violence and this led to serial Mumbai
blasts that overshadowed all the mischiefs of Muslim baiters.
The path is still open for Muslims, their maulvis
and leaders :
1. Don’t
come on street. Don’t obstruct traffic or disturb civic life and peace.
2. Don’t
resort to violence that makes you worthy for all injustices.
3. Exhaust
legal judicial processes and lobbying.
4. Teach
Muslim boys and girls is to get educated, have a job and live a happy family
life with monogamy and planned family and to have their role model must be
persons like Prof Abdus Salam, one of the World’s top physicist and a devout practicing Muslim.
Will anyone heed ?
