Desk with cultural leanings, NSN, Beshawar.
NSN concludes its exclusive and wide ranging interview with the famour vice-principal of the rebel seminaries turning up their nose at the secular law in the islamic state. In this last part, we finish with a round up of travel, technology, entertainment, law, and relationship with the west.
Students doing exercises. Mullah Abdul Rashid Ghazi insists on daily exercises both for boys and girls. Note: You really cant tell the boys apart from the girls, can you? As usual, not a word about the pictures, please. .
Q: How do you interpret the tradition of a jirga?
A: [Jirga has] no basis in islam, only sharia courts are allowed. Jirgas will be banned by fatwa.
Q: Should muslims travel abroad?
A: Of course, to Al-Quds, and to Makkah, and Madina, and to all the holy sites. It is a corner stone of our faith. However, travel west of Al-Quds not allowed (clearly written in scriptures). Makkah is necessary, and Al-Quds recommended. If in Al-Quds on friday, must participate in traditional stone throwing rituals.
Q: Lets talk about entertainment. What are views on adventure sports, say paragliding?
A: It is a naked attempt to create Fitna. [It] Does not exist in scriptures and has been cooked up by western world to create a fissure between men and women. How many parts would have rubbed when you are tied together? What unique views available to men on the ground that are not allowed even to a custodian? Who was the chaperon? How can it possibly be acceptable? What did it accomplish? Next they will want to allow women to lie naked in the sand. ( Ed. The mullah was emotional after this, so we let the subject go. ).
Q: Perhaps TV and music have some entertainment value?
A: [The] Book is very clear on this matter. Only ulema are allowed azan. Everything else is [but] but-qashi.( Ed. But-qashi = idolatry, it is bad, very very bad )
Q: But surely not all new media and technology is bad?
A: No, progress is not bad. In fact, we maintain a website for the Markazi Jamia Masjid (Lal Masjid). You just wont find a picture of me grinning there. In fact, we are thinking of setting up auction sites, and reverse auction sites for employment and custodianship of our students.
Q: How can law enforcement be improved?
A: In fact, the administration has asked us that question. We believe the answer is simple. There is serious need for educating the law enforcement agents. There are refresher courses in all the other countries. Even the kufr realizes the importance of keeping up the training the forces with the times. If the administration is interested, we are open to establishing refresher curricula, and not just in kendo sticks !!
Q: What is the ideal relationship with the West?
A: We can not allow them to destroy our culture, and more importantly look at, or take our women. That is the basis. Now in terms of relationships, they are mostly monogamous societies so their men are not allowed to retain their culture, and expose themselves to those of the faith too!
On the other hand, our faith is very forgiving. Our men can expose themselves to up to four [partners] at a time. Therefore, if the west wants to better understand our culture and establish relationships, we are open to it. We have lot of capacity [to absorb].
