Another pro-taleban scholar assassinated mafia style


Every Friday there is a special Religious page in the daily Jang the largest circulation Urdu newspaper in Karachi.....and on that page is a Q&A column by the title of "Aap kay masail aur unn ka hal" meaning "your problems and its solutions" where a religious scholar answers the questions put forward by the readers of the newspaper in the light of Quran (the islamic holy book) ,sunna (teachings of holy prophet muhammad) and sharia (the islamic laws).I started reading this column more than a dacade ago...but unfortunately three of the Successive pro-taleban scholars have so far been killed on the streets of Karachi....the very recent being the Mufti Saeed Ahmed Jalalpuri of Aalmi Tahaffuz-i-Khatm-i-Nabuwat....who was assassinated yesterday ,Thursday evening when they were returning from Jamia Masjid Khatman-un-Nabi on Metrovill Road in Gulshan-i-Iqbal area.
So the fate of the column hangs in a balance....there may not be a shortage of another pro-taleban scholar in jamia Binoria ...but the question is can a newspaper takes another chance by continuing an infamous column which could be labeled as a death column....
