Muhammad Tahir ul-Qadri is widely hailed as a “moderate” because of his massive Fatwa on Terrorism and Suicide Bombings, but that jaw-droppingly windy document is just another exercise in deception. In fact, Tahir ul-Qadri is the framer of Pakistan’s inhuman blasphemy laws. But these 94 Muslim scholars from the UK, India and Pakistan are still branding him as a heretic for saying that “Allah” is not a word exclusive to the Muslim deity, but can be used by believers of other faiths, and that Jews and Christians are not actually unbelievers.

What is noteworthy here is the fact that Muslim scholars and spokesmen in the West routinely assert that “Allah” simply means “God” and can be used of the Christian God (as some Arabic-speaking Christians do indeed use it), and that the Qur’an doesn’t consider Jews or Christians to be unbelievers. Yet here are Muslim scholars saying that such beliefs are heretical. Will Muslim spokesmen in the West produce a detailed refutation of this condemnation of Tahir ul-Qadri, explaining how his positions are completely Islamic? Don’t hold your breath.
