Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan Chief Saad Rizvi's Name
Removed From List of People Suspected Of Terrorism
Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan
(TLP) chief Hafiz Saad Hussain Rizvi’

Imran Gabol
November 11, 2021
The Punjab government on Wednesday removed
Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) chief Hafiz Saad Hussain Rizvi's name from the
Fourth Schedule — a list of proscribed individuals who are suspected of
terrorism or sectarianism under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA), 1997.
A notification issued by the Punjab Home Department dated
November 10 stated that the "name of Hafiz Mohammad Saad, being Ameer of
Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan, a proscribed organisation, was listed in the 4th
Schedule of Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997, under Section 11-E on the recommendations
of District Intelligence Committee, Lahore."
"Therefore, name of Hafiz Mohammad Saad is hereby
deleted from the list of 4th Schedule of Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997, with
immediate effect," it stated.
Police had arrested Rizvi on April 12 this year ahead
of planned protests by the TLP. The next day, police registered a first
information report (FIR) against the TLP chief under sections of the ATA.
The government had declared the TLP a proscribed
outfit under the anti-terror law in April this year, after three days of
violent protests by the group's activists across the country.
The matter of TLP's de-proscription again came under
consideration following another days-long protest by the TLP, which started on
Oct 20 in Lahore. The protest, which soon turned violent, was primarily launched
to exert pressure on the Punjab government for the release of TLP chief Saad
Rizvi, the son of its late founder Khadim Rizvi, and the expulsion of the
French ambassador over blasphemous sketches of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
The situation seemed to improve only after
negotiations between the TLP and government started on Oct 30, with the members
of the negotiating team from the government side claiming the next day that
they had reached an "agreement" with the proscribed group but refused
to divulge its details.
Sources had told Dawn the TLP was assured that the
government would not pursue minor cases against the TLP leadership and workers,
but the cases registered under the Anti-Terrorism Act would be decided by
courts. It also assured the TLP leadership that it would unfreeze the accounts
and assets of the proscribed outfit and take steps to lift the ban on it.
While some 2,100 TLP activists have been released from
police custody after the federal government-TLP agreement, the revocation of
the group's proscribed status automatically removed around 8,000 TLP activists
from the Fourth Schedule.
Meanwhile, the government transferred the entire
police high command of Lahore earlier this month in a massive reshuffle in the
wake of their "mishandling of the Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan's violent
rally".

Ed Durr, a Republican, Meets Muslim Leaders to
Apologize For Calling Prophet Muhammad A 'Paedophile in a 2019 Tweet'
Edward Durr / Matt Rourke/AP
-----
By BRIAN STIEGLITZ
11 November 2021
A New Jersey trucker who shot to a shock victory in
the state's senatorial elections has told of his shock at winning, as he met
with Muslim leaders to apologize for a 2019 tweet calling the Prophet Mohammed
a 'paedophile.'
Ed Durr, 58, who claimed to have spent less than $200
on a campaign that ousted one of the most powerful political figures in New
Jersey politics, spoke to reporters after Democrat favourite and incumbent
Steve Sweeney conceded the race on Wednesday.
Durr, who is a Republican, said, 'I feel like I'm
about to throw up. This is all new to me. It's all overwhelming, but I am very
happy that the voters selected me. I'm going to earn that vote and I'm going to
prove them right.'
Even before being sworn in, however, Durr had some
explaining to do over a series of inflammatory social media posts, specifically
one from 2019 that read, 'Mohammed [sic] was a paedophile! Islam is a false
religion! Only fools follow Muslim teachings! It is a cult of hate!'

Taliban Accused Of 'Wiping Out' History By Replacing
Statue Of Hazara Martyr With Quran; Bamiyan Residents Warned - A Move That
Could Trigger Violence

The New Arab Staff
11 November, 2021
The Taliban have replaced the statue of a Hazara
leader declared a national martyr by the former government with a replica of
the Quran, Bamiyan residents said on Thursday - a move they warned could
trigger violence.
The original statue depicted Abdul Ali Mazari, a
leader of the mostly Shia minority killed while he was a prisoner of the
Taliban during their first stint in power.
The statue was decapitated by a rocket-propelled
grenade soon after the Taliban returned to power in August, in an incident
residents of the city in central Afghanistan blamed on the hardline Islamists.
The Taliban's strict interpretation of Islam forbids
the human form to be depicted in paintings and sculpture - and printed
photographs in extreme cases.
"Yesterday, they completely removed the statue
and replaced it with a replica of the Quran," said Abdul Danishyar, a
civil society activist in Bamiyan.
Mazari's statue stood in Bamiyan's central square,
where the Taliban blew up two massive 1,500-year-old statues of Buddha in 2001
- just before the US invasion that ousted them.
Abdul Ali Shafaq, a Bamiyan provincial council member,
told AFP he would talk to Taliban officials and urge them to reverse the move.
The mainly Shia Hazara community, which makes up about
10 per cent of Afghanistan's nearly 38 million people, has long been persecuted
by Sunni extremists, such as the Islamic State group, in a country torn by
ethnic and religious divisions.

Lower Sex-Selective Abortion Rates in Districts with
Muslim Legislators: Kent, Warwick and Notre Dame Research
(Representational Photo/Eurasia Review)
------
By Eurasia Review
November 12, 2021
New research by the universities of Kent, Warwick and
Notre Dame (United States) has found that sex-selective abortion is lower in
India districts with a Muslim state legislator, consistent with a higher
reported aversion to abortion among Muslims compared to Hindus.
Sex-selective abortion has dramatically increased in
India in recent decades. Abortion was legalised in India in 1971 and while safe
abortion is viewed as a woman’s right, illegal abortion is still easily
accessible with procedures and facilities deemed unsafe.
Published by the Journal of Development Economics, the
study discovered a rise in fertility under Muslim legislators in India,
suggesting a substitution from sex-selective abortion to greater fertility as a
means of achieving the desired gender mix of children.
The sex ratio at birth in India has grown more
male-biased since the mid to late 1980s despite rapid increases in income,
improvements in women’s education, a decline in stated son preference, and the
implementation of a ban on prenatal sex determination in 1996. According to the
research, Muslims have similar levels of son preference. However, because
Muslims have stronger (stated) preferences against abortion than Hindus, Muslim
legislators, acting on their preferences, are more effective at reducing abortion
than Hindus.
Professor Irma Clots-Figueras (Kent’s School of
Economics), Professor Sonia Bhalotra (Warwick’s Department of Economics and
Associate Professor of Economics and Global Affairs Lakshmi Iyer (University of
Notre Dame) led the research using nationwide survey data on the retrospective
fertility histories of more than 450,000 women with more than 860,000 births
over three decades.
Professor Clots-Figueras said: ‘Our research shows
that Muslim legislators are more effective at controlling the selective
abortion of girls in India. Previous studies have not established a causal link
between politician preferences and abortion outcomes, yet our findings suggest
that the personal identity of legislators could indeed be a key component of
policy effectiveness.’

National Ulema Council Say Crypto is Illegal for
Muslims, Deemed It as Haram
Crypto coins circle Nurphoto
-----
By: Hassan Maishera
Nov 11, 2021
The National Ulema Council (MUI) in Indonesia has
ruled that cryptocurrencies are illegal for Muslims. The council deemed
cryptocurrencies as Haram and, as such, banned Indonesian Muslims from using
them.
Indonesia is one of the leading Islamic countries in
the world, with more than 237 million Muslims living in the country. Asrorun
Niam Soleh, head of religious decrees, pointed out that cryptocurrencies could
be traded as commodities if they abide by Shariah law and demonstrate clear
benefits.
The head of religious decrees said the decision was
reached after the council held a meeting earlier this week. He stated that if
cryptocurrency as a commodity or a digital asset can abide by Shariah’s tenets
and can show a clear benefit, then there is no problem in using it.
The MIU holds the authority in terms of Shariah
compliance in the country. This ruling is a huge one as Indonesia has the
highest number of Muslims globally. The finance ministry and central bank
consults the MIU regarding Islamic finance issues.
Although the MIU has come out against
cryptocurrencies, they still remain legal in Indonesia. The government is
supportive of cryptocurrencies, allowing its citizens to trade them alongside
commodities as investment options.
The government is also working on establishing a
crypto-focused exchange by the end of the year. However, the government doesn’t
recognize cryptocurrencies as legal tenders but sees them as commodities and
digital assets.
The crypto market has retraced following the rally
experienced earlier this week. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading just
below $65k, down by more than 4% over the past 24 hours. The leading
cryptocurrency reached an all-time high above $69k earlier this week, but the
market is currently correcting following the rally.

Opposition seeks written assurances from govt before
talks
Amir Wasim
November 12, 2021
ISLAMABAD: Members of the joint opposition on Thursday
twice met National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser and asked him to give them in
writing the terms of engagements with them that should include a categorical
statement that it was the government which was approaching them for a dialogue
and an assurance that the recently-promulgated controversial ordinances would
also be discussed in the parliamentary committee.
The decision that the opposition would seek everything
in writing from the speaker was taken by members of the recently-formed
steering committee of the joint opposition in a meeting.
“We are going to communicate to the speaker that he
should give us in writing because we do not want to hear that we (the
opposition) have been pressing for a dialogue,” said parliamentary leader of
the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) in Senate Sherry Rehman while briefly talking
to reporters after attending the meeting of the opposition’s steering committee
and before leaving for the speaker’s chamber for the meeting.
