                  Terrorism Has No Religion, Say Bombay Muslims

                  BOMBAY, 15 July 2006 - For the first time in Bombay's 
history, Muslim religious leaders representing virtually every sect came 
together on Thursday evening to condemn the serial bomb blasts in the city as a 
"barbaric", "inhuman" and "cowardly" act.

                  "We teach in our madrassas that you have to be a decent human 
being first before you can call yourself a Muslim. How can an act which is 
inhuman ever be considered to be Islamic?" said Maulana Gulzar Azmi, national 
council member of the Jamiat-ul-Ulema-e-Hind.

                  "We are one with all citizens of Bombay and the country in 
condemning such wanton acts of terror, expressing our solidarity with the 
family members of the victims and we share their grief and sorrow," said 
Maulana Mustaqim Azmi, member, Ulema Council.

                  They were addressing a press conference jointly with other 
senior Muslims representing the Jamiat-ul-ulema-e-Hind, Ulema Council, Milli 
Council, Jamaat-e-Islami, All-India Sunni Jamiat-ul-Ulema, All India Sunni 
Tablighi Jamaat, All-India Qazi Board and Bombay Aman Committee among others.

                  The maulanas expressed their readiness to extend the fullest 
cooperation to the Bombay police in their efforts to identify and nab the 
perpetrators of the dastardly act. They also announced their plan to visit the 
homes of the bereaved families in the coming days to share their sorrow and 
offer help.

                  After the press conference, the religious leaders had an 
hour-long meeting with CPM MPs Sitaram Yechuri and Brinda Karat. "Terrorism has 
no religion," one of the Muslim leaders told the Communist leaders while 
several others reiterated their unequivocal condemnation of terrorist acts. 

                  They also bemoaned the fact that while the overwhelming 
majority of Muslim religious leaders in the country had repeatedly condemned 
terrorism as inhuman and un-Islamic the mass media failed to communicate this 
message to fellow Indians.

                  The meeting was facilitated by the journal Communalism Combat 
and Muslims for Secular Democracy.
