Issue fatwa that India is friend: VHP to Muslims

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad has written to 13 Muslim organisations, requesting them to issue a fatwa declaring India as a friend of Islam (Dar-Ul-Amen) against which jihad should not be waged.

VHP’s Dharm Raksha Manch, a congregation of seers, asked ulemas to state that Hindus are not kafirs and therefore jihad does not apply to the community.

The letter cites examples from emails released by the Indian Mujahideen citing a religious dictum justifying the terror attacks on Ahmedabad and Delhi. The letter has been addressed to Muslim intellectuals, leaders and ulemas.
