Rejoinder: ‘Indian Muslims: Let us come out of denial’ by Sultan Shahin

By Jamsheed Basha

I totally agree that Maulana Maudoodi's Jamaat-e-Islami is the root cause of the radicalisation of Muslim Youth and their changing attitudes. This Jamaat along with another Jamaat called Tableeghi Jamaat have done more harm to the Islamic society than good. These two extreme Jamaats have interpreted Islam in their own way convenient to them. One is right extreme while the other is left extreme in the sense, that these people have not understood Islam in its totality. The radicals have come from the Wahhabi Sect, mostly from Saudi Wahhabi teachings. Rightly said, Maulana Maudoodi, a prolific writer and thinker himself, instead of confining himself to writing has taken people to one extreme of the religion. Firstly this has infested the oldies among the Muslims and then travelled to the young youth living in India and Pakistan. His radical views on Islam are not acceptable to Muslims who have studied and practiced Islam in its totality. These bearded followers of Maudoodi, became so extreme that they even called our Prophet PBUH, was nothing but an ordinary Messenger of Allah.
