Religious Extremism
Religious violence and extremism, sectarian narrow mindedness and shallowness are such special features, which do not have conformity, any accordance with the real teachings of religion. Islam teaches religious toleration and peace for all, not only for its followers but also for the infidels and idolaters as well. Surah Alkafiroon is a living example and evidence of that. Allah talks to people through Prophet (s.a.w) as follows: Say:o disbelievers! I worship not that which ye worship. Nor worship ye that which I worship. And I shall not worship that which ye worship. Nor will ye worship that which I worship. Unto your religion, and unto me my religion. You notice that in this Surah Prophet (s.a.w) is asked to say neither will you (idolaters, infidels) change your religious practices nor shall I. I wish you to be blessed with your religion, so shall I be with that of mine. This does not mean that Prophet (s.a.w) or His followers should abandon inviting idolaters towards Islam. This practice of preaching Islam shall continue but should be done according to the heavenly teachings. Invite them towards the way of thy Lord through wisdom and good advice (admonition) But regretfully those who are ignorant of the vital principles of Islam and are religiously narrow minded, themselves have chosen the way of murder and violence on the basis of religious and sectarian dissent.
Muslim countries, after having achieved political freedom, when faced the challenge of reformation and reorganization of their respective internal systems, could show maturity in their vision and eminence of their thinking at a stage when both were needed much. And when the people of Islam themselves entered the arena of politics in the form of separate parties, religious and sectarian violence started assuredly. This condition emerged in Pakistan as well and got strengthened at the time of General Elections before the elections held in 1970. This was the first time when
