Indian Muslims can lead the way in the times of ISIS: RSS

July 25, 2015 22:05

Amid growing radicalisation of a sect of Muslims and the rise of ISIS, RSS organ 'Organiser' has said Indian Muslims can lead the way for global peace and prosperity as shown by the community in Maharashtra town by Eid celebrations for Vaishnavite pilgrims.

The editorial in 'Organiser' said that despite exceptions of Memons and Dawoods among Indian Muslims, their cultural DNA has not changed even after "conversion" to Islam that respects all ways of worship.

It said that against the backdrop of outrage against global jihad, a group of Muslims in Lonand in Satara District of Maharashtra have shown the "real character" of Indian Muslims by postponing the Eid celebrations and not carrying out animal slaughter out of respect for Vaishnavite pilgrims who were carrying out a yatra.

"Indian Muslims would explain that they have followed their 'dharma'. After conversion to Islam, the way of worship may have changed, but the cultural DNA, of respecting all ways of worship and believing that those ways lead to the same God, remained the same. Muslims of Lonand showing such gesture was not an aberration," it said.
