Council of Islamic Ideology, Pakistan
Submitted by Tariq.
The Council on Islamic Ideology (CII) a government body in Pakistan created to bring the laws in harmony with Quran and Sunnah, recently sent a list of recommendations to that country’s parliament labeled “Code of Conduct”. This code of conduct is what it wants the parliament to adopt. Among them is the following – a news report about it can be read at this link:
“It is an un-Islamic and condemnable act to declare any Muslim sect a disbeliever and deserving of death,”
Does it also apply to all of the members of the parliament from 1974 who declared Ahmadis to be non-Muslims? Does it apply to the members of the CII itself who declare Ahmadis to be non-Muslims? Of course not!! It only applies to some other people who declare other sects of Muslims as disbelievers. Whom they themselves declare as disbelievers are as such.
How ironic!
From Zahid Aziz:
I notice that this Council has also called for "a ban on religious hate speech". Ironically, the hate speech uttered against Ahmadis by the so-called Ulama of the CII kind is among the worst-ever in world history in terms of its venom, intensity and incitement to violence, murder and extermination of a community.
From Dil Sooz:
I have heard there is a Hadith — something to the effect of: faith has to be pure like pure milk — now if someone mixes a drop of urine in it then no one will drink it. In the case of CII, it seems to be opposite: a drop of milk in urine.

Well said, Dil Sooz!
