The ex Imam of Lal Masjid, Maulana Abdul Aziz, has come out in the open to endorse the recent declaration of support for the Islamic State (IS) by female students of Jamia Hafsa and their call to avenge the death of Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden as well as the militants of Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa.
In a video released on social media websites, a group of burqa clad girls students of Jamia Hafsa were shown expressing their support to the Islamic State. Maulana Abdul Aziz has said the students of Jamia Hafsa had prepared the video with his consent and it was not at all a crime. In fact, the Jamia Hafsa students wanted to take out a rally in support of the Islamic State while carrying out banners and placards. But I had stopped them from doing do. The poor girl students did so after losing hope in the countrys political elite which remained silent when they had to suffer in the wake of the action against Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa.
Maulana Abdul Aziz then warns, I have come to know through reliable sources that the agencies are contemplating to carry out a search operation (in Jamia Hafsa) to trace out the girls who had prepared the video in support of the Islamic State. I am warning the authorities to desist from committing another misadventure under the garb of the video which is harmless and only expresses support for Abu Bakar Al Baghdadi and his Islamic State. There is nothing objectionable in the video which was prepared with my consent and the authorities will have to face the consequences if an operation is carried out against the students of the Jamia Hafsa.
The statement was reported by Islam Times.
